Apocalypse Meltdown Chapter 180

"Hum! He is ambling deliberately, and he is trash since he can't catch up with us!" w.a.n.g Yan stopped whispering and stated blatantly.

Hua Yongzhi shook his head helplessly and looked at Chu Han with apologetic eyes as he was entering through the door. Then, he shouted at his team members, "Come and give me a hand."

The base's door was very solid, so five people were needed to open it. It was for the sake of safety, and it also prevented children in the base from running out. It'd be regrettable if they b.u.mped into zombies.

The base was circular, clearly, the base's constructor had paid so much attention to it, and manpower was mainly occupied with that task. There was another wall, which was higher than the base's wall. Chu Han could see some zombies patting and roaring outside the wall although it was far.

The base's all was still under construction, and he could see many people walking around it when he raised his head. They should be thinking about how to build the wall higher and safer.

Their thinking process was right, but the wall could not block the five phase-2 zombies lurking around the village.

As Chu Han was observing, five people looked at him. The slim monkey-like man looked at Chu Han strangely and said, "You sure can take it easy. It's advantageous being trash since you don't have to break a sweat and help us."

"Hum! He can't even pretend to be helpful!" w.a.n.g Yan looked at Chu Han with contempt.

"Stop talking. Just come and help me!" Hua Yongzhi shouted.

Chu Han stood at the side quietly. He put his hand in his pocket and grabbed the ping pong ball, which was w.a.n.gcai. He suddenly thought that its size was suitable for finger flexibility exercises. w.a.n.gcai was really unlucky, it couldn't even resist and got hurt for no apparent reason. 

Six people pushed the thick door, and then they stopped when it was wide enough for a person to walk through it. w.a.n.g Yan and the slim monkey-like man got in first, and then the other three people followed without saying anything at Chu Han.

Hua Yongzhi wiped his sweat and then waved to Chu Han. "Get in quickly."

Chu Han took note of the six people's att.i.tudes, and then he entered too. Getting in the survivors' base was a piece of cake to him since he could push the door with one hand. He was a superior phase-1 evolutionary, with one of his talents being that of strength.

"He is really thick-skinned."

"He didn't help at all!"

Chu Han pa.s.sed through and then overheard the slim monkey-like man and w.a.n.g Yan's conversation. Chu Han was dazed, and then he turned back and looked at the door with a strange expression on his face. What would happen to the door if he were to help?

Hua Yongzhi looked at Chu Han and thought that the latter was embarra.s.sed. He yelled at w.a.n.g Yan and slim monkey-like man because he misunderstood Chu Han's action. "I've told you to shut your traps. How could you expect an ordinary man like Chu Han to do it?"

"It is better than doing nothing!" w.a.n.g Yan said, "You're responsible for bringing such a shameless person here. If anything bad happens, you're the only one to blame."

w.a.n.g Yan retorted and turned back to leave. Some of the base's residents bowed to her as if she were a queen."

"I'll also take my leave. Brother Hua, you should take care of yourself." The slim monkey-like man also looked at Chu Han coldly. He too was treated as a hero in the base.

The other three people left without saying anything since they thought that Chu Han was an ordinary person, and they couldn't treat him differently. They would only be respectful toward evolutionaries. 

"Don't mind them." Hua Yongzhi patted Chu Han's shoulder and then pointed at the hunted prey on his back. "Follow me home, and we'll have a good meal."

Hua Yongzhi's house was in the most east of the base, and it was the closest to the village. It was the most dangerous place in the base, and it would be the first to be attacked if the wall wasn't blocking the zombies.

Chu Han noticed that w.a.n.g Yan and the slim monkey-like man went in the opposite direction, so the base should be divided into different levels.

The residents were in rags and looked worse than the ones near the entrance. The moment Hua Yongzhi returned, many people cast their greedy eyes on him. Chu Han saw a group of people gathering in front of Hua Yongzhi's house with empty bowls; they looked like beggars.

"Brother Hua! Brother Hua is coming!"

"What did you catch today?"

"Does he have any meat? I have not eaten meat three days now."

The begging voices were ceaseless, but Hua Yongzhi ignored them and led Chu Han to his house's door. He knocked the door with a cold expression. "Open the door. It's me."

A series of unlocking sounds came from the door before it slightly opened. A woman with a plain face could be seen from the slight gap, and then she opened the door after seeing Hua Yongzhi. Chu Han could see she was relieved.

"Brother Hua, you lead us here, but you're unwilling to provide us with food?"

"I can see that there is rice in sister-in-law's room!"

"Brother Hua! Brother Hua, please don't leave us!"

Amidst the frenzied group of beggars, Hua Yongzhi squeezed to pa.s.s through the door, and Chu Han followed quickly; however, the beggars' shouts intensified after seeing Chu Han entering the room.

The room was made of wood, and it was really dark. Wooden planks were covering the windows, but there were slight gaps allowing light to pa.s.s through. Also, a blocked window could be seen on the roof. Occasionally, people would sweep through the house.

The woman was terrified after seeing Chu Han enter the room, and the latter one could feel the woman's unwillingness.

Closing the door, Hua Yongzhi immediately shut the bolts, and then said to his wife, Xiao Hua, did they cause you trouble?"

"No," The woman said unhappily, and she subconsciously looked at Chu Han.

"This is Chu Han. We met him at the bottom of the mountain. He doesn't seem like a bad person, so I brought him home. Please go and make dinner." Hua Yongzhi introduced Chu Han to his wife pa.s.sionately, "This is my wife, Xiao Hua. She is a shy person."

"h.e.l.lo." Chu Han greeted her calmly.

"Yes." Xiao Hua shyly answered, and she nodded to Chu Han.

"Xiao Hua, you should cook this chicken tonight. I have to discuss with Chu Han." Hua Yongzhi gave a hunted chicken to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua received it, and there was unwillingness in her eyes, but she hid it. She then walked into the kitchen.
