Chapter 26: Being Hysterical

"Tong City?’ Chu Han blinked.

He suppressed his fluctuating emotions and looked at Shang Jiuti calmly: "Okay, I will go to Tong City."

Shang Jiuti’s expression was unreadable and she seemed to be at a loss.

Eighteen’s eyes shone brightly. Her 60% loyalty rating caused her to trust in Chu Han wholeheartedly. "It will be on the way. Anluo is so far and the route to Anluo pa.s.ses through Tong City. We can also restock our supplies at Tong City."

She frowned at Shang Jiuti, "Ninth, why don"t we tag along with Brother Chu? It"s better if we are accompanied by someone along the journey. After all, our chances of reaching Tong City are low if there"s only you and me!"

Shang Jiuti’s brows jumped as Eighteen"s words were irrefutable. They were women and it was especially dangerous for them to travel alone in the eschatology, where people exercised little restraint. It was exceedingly difficult for both of them to successfully reach Tong City unaccompanied. However, she could feel a soul-stirring aura of danger radiating from Chu Han, so she subconsciously desired to keep her distance from him.

How could common people jump from such a high place without sustaining any injuries? Did common people have such profound knowledge regarding the habits of zombies? Could a common person shoot a human being without hesitation?

Who was he?

Shang Jiuti looked at Chu Han and sighed slightly upon seeing the harmless smile of the latter.

"Alright, let’s go," she said.

"Good." Chu Han"s lips arced upwards into a faint smile.

"How about us?" The surrounding survivors exclaimed excitedly.

They seemed to believe that Chu Han was their messiah.

"I"m going to Yin City—will you protect me?"

"I don"t want to go to Yin City—will Brother Chu will send me to Chen City?"

"Brother Chu, I have no idea where should I go..."

"Shut up." Chu Han interrupted their babbling harshly and spoke with eyes devoid of empathy: "I am not policeman nor a person sent by the country to aid you. I am a common man just like you. I have no obligation to do anything for you guys, and you shouldn"t count on me to accompany you. I am not your friend."

He had seen through human nature and he was very familiar with the subtle expression of the crowd when he had finished the zombies and went into the station. These were ungrateful, vicious people and they were backstabbing, manipulative type.

His cold and heartless words disappointed the crowd. The majority of the people instantly changed their att.i.tudes and began shouting at him.

"Pick me up."

Just as Chu Han had finished speaking, Jia Chunjie hastily opened his mouth. He ignored the impatient eyes of Chu Han and replied with the fastest speed, "I am proficient in cooking since I am used to be a chef. I could help out, and I am not afraid of zombies!"

The importance of showing his value had been seen through by Jia Chunjie.

Chu Han regarded him silently.

"I have my own car, and I will not bother you. I will just follow you! I will also distribute my supplies on the road. There is some food in the warehouse, and I can share half of it with you!" Jia Chunjie exclaimed desperately. He would do anything to travel with Chu Han!

"And me and me! Don’t you want to leave without me?" Zhang Ziyu said quickly.

"And me!" Gu Xiaotong slower than the rest since she was still frightened by her previous ordeal. She was quivering violently.

"You two?" Chu Han glanced at the two people skeptically, "If I take you guys, then you"ll just run away when there are zombies! Would I receive any benefits if you two accompany me? I"m not that compa.s.sionate!"

The direct rejection made them blush, but they had nothing to say as they knew the truth in his words. They could only curse inwardly in their heart! Wasn"t he narrow-minded for running away without them? Besides, he was still standing here now.Chu Han ignored the emotional eyes of the people and he went to the second floor where he had comforted the excited Chen Shaoye.

The scenery of second floor was not much different to the ground floor. There were countless dark bloodstains, and the wall was crumbling due to the fierce attack of the zombie horde. There were broken limbs and rotten meat scattered about. Underneath, there was a carpet of flesh and gore, which made it impossible to tread on the ground while walking. Countless zombie corpses were piled up at the stairs. Not all the zombies were dead, and there were still several heads alive. The alive heads bared their teeth when they smelt the scent of a human being, and they pumped their gums in desperation.

Chu Han just killed these poor lives with his axe.

Zombies could never revert back to humans.

"Ah一"

"Ah ah ah!"

Suddenly, three panic-filled sounds rung out from downstairs. Then, there was a messy and interlaced scream, which caused a sense of panic in the quiet environment.

Chu Han rushed downstairs, gripping his axe tightly.

The hall downstairs.

Several survivors were quivering fearfully at the corner. Chen Shaoye, Shang Jiuti, Eighteen, and three other people were standing together. Chen Shaoye wore a complicated expression and seemed rather frightened, while the two women held their rifles calmly.

‘What happened?’ Just as Chu Han was about to voice his thoughts, he was suddenly interrupted.

*ROAR!*

It was the roar of a unique zombie.

Chu Han then glimpsed a familiar shadow jerkily rising to its feet. It walked a few steps unsteadily. Its skin was pale with a faint green undertone. The pupils in the orbital cavity had disappeared and were replaced by whiteness.

"Zhang Ziyu?" Gu Xiaotong exclaimed in disbelief. She screamed and retreated in panic, but she tripped on a severed zombie arm and fell to the ground.

The zombified Zhang Ziyu was attracted by Gu Xiaotong’s screams. The zombified Zhang Ziyu was akin to an enticed male as he rushed towards her crazily, with the intention of throwing Gu Xiaotong to the ground.

*Bang!*

Chu Han moved with incredible speed, kicking Zhang Ziyu off the p.r.o.ne Gu Xiaotong!

In the next instant, Shang Jiuti’s rifle sounded out as a bullet was shot into the brain of Zhang Ziyu. A mixture of dark pus and scarlet blood flowed out from the mutant zombie’s corpse onto Gu Xiaotong’s face.

Shang Jiuti didn"t hesitate since it was zombie, not a human being.

Chu Han looked at the rest of survivors and said, "Have any of you ever been bitten or scratched by a zombie?"

The zombie virus was extremely infectious, and any human being who hadn’t undergone evolution had no chance of resisting.

"Ah!!" Gu Xiaotong screamed hysterically, interrupting Chu Han’s questioning.

She was still frightened and was screaming maniacally. She had collapsed onto the floor and was weeping loudly with fluctuating emotions. She desperately attempted to rub the zombie blood and pus smeared on her face onto the ground.

"Stop it!" Chu Han was shocked and exclaimed quickly.

However, it was too late. Gu Xiaotong’s skin was broken by the excessive rubbing. The scarlet blood flew out along with her gentle skin. The dark blood contaminated with the zombie virus entered her veins.

She continued to ignore Chu Han and kept rubbing her face on the ground crazily.

"It’s so nasty! It’s so disgusting! The disgusting things! Zhang Ziyu must not die well! Just go away! Go away! Ahahahahah!!!"
