Meltdown System in Eschatology Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Who Is Thirteen?

Humm--

The strong off-road vehicle quickly moved as it produced humming sounds. The vehicle kicked off sand and stones as it pa.s.sed through the streets. The vehicle was going inside a place widely known as the City of Death.

The retreating dead trees seemed to reflect the road to h.e.l.l and the sky filled with light red mist reduced visibility. The air was dull and the atmosphere was so depressing.

Shang Jiuti looked at Chu Han sitting at the front seat beside the driver. The calm face was very clear. She turned her head to look at Chen Shoaye who was whistling while driving. A smile subconsciously crept up from her face. Even the cowardly fat guy was not scared, so how could she be afraid too? It seemed that nothing could scare them if Chu Han was present.

The speed of the G55 did not even slow down as the four people did not seem to be affected by the surrounding depressive environment.

They were not scared of the zombies.

They went inside the death city.

Five hours later.

Tong City had obviously already collapsed as the four people had already driven around the city for a long time.

They were apprehensive to go downtown so they just lingered on the streets.

There were zombies everywhere. They seemed to appear at every corner.

There were so many skysc.r.a.pers in the darkness as messy items were scattered on the road. Many vehicles and buses lied on the center of the street, with so many flying items, so they were forced to change roads frequently.

Dark blood and rotten meat lined the roads.

It was dark as there were no lights. Zombies were roaring all around. It was neither close nor far as it was similar to the feeling of being surrounded by a group of beasts in a jungle.

"Where is the one you are looking for?" Chu Han felt it was unrealistic to find someone since there were obstacles to limit their movement. Most importantly, it was nighttime and visibility was almost down to zero.

Shang Jiuti also knew about it as she looked extremely worried, "I am afraid that we cannot find her now. I am not sure whether she is moving or not, but she should be downtown."

Chu Han just frowned as she felt Shang Jiuti was right. That person would not stay in the same place for a long time if he/she haven`t already turned into a zombie.

But downtown?

Chu Han looked towards the direction of downtown. It was so dangerous!

"Who are you looking for?" Chu Han could not help but be curious.

"A woman." Shang Jiuti stopped after finis.h.i.+ng her words. There was fear in her eyes. In the end, she just said, "Just call her Thirteen."

Thirteen? Chu Han was in a daze.

Luo Xiaoxiao who was active suddenly became so quiet, which was different from what she used to be.

It was so weird!

Chu Han stopped asking questions and told Chen Shaoye to get rid of the zombies and find a shelter. They could not force themselves to go downtown since it was very dangerous especially when it was nighttime. No matter if it was nighttime or daytime, zombies would hunt whenever they can, but human beings could not do it since vision is one of its most important senses.

The most important thing was to find a shelter as soon as possible!

G55 was on its way.

Chen Shaoye held the steering wheel tightly and tried to reduce the sound of vehicle. He steadily said, "Boss, how about staying at a residential building?"

"How about that one?" Luo Xiaoxiao pointed at the little district in front of them.

It was a high-cla.s.s place since there were skysc.r.a.pers and townhouses. The greenery was also good. There were so many green trees, which was much better than other places. It must be a comfort to live there with its good environment and the houses could possibly be fully furnished. Shang Jiuti opened her eyes, "I think it is okay. It is so quiet and the roaring of zombies is lesser than other places—"

"No way." Chu Han coldly broke Shang Jiuti`s words, "It`s not a good place. You should find another place and it should be far from here."

"Why?"

Shang Jiuti and Lou Xiaoxiao quickly asked Chu Han. Chen Shaoye who would subconsciously listen to Chu Han had already turned the car to find another place. The G55 had already pointed at another direction, an effect caused by Chen Shaoye`s 90% loyalty to Chu Han.

Chu Han glanced at the rearview mirror as an unknown subtlety flashed in his eyes.

He said in a cold voice to scare the two women from the bottom of their hearts.

"Zombies can sense heat."

The genetics of zombies was different than that of a human being. They would not only hunt with sound and smell. The scariest thing was that they had thermal induction. They had a tendency to subconsciously move to a place with many people. It was the reason of the zombie tide before.

Cut!

The lollipop in Lou Xiaoxiao`s mouth fell on the ground.

Shang Jiuti was quivering as she found it to be unbelievable.

"Thermal induction?!" Her voice was shaking, "You mean that they could sense human beings with just the heat from a human being`s body?"

"Don`t you believe me?" Chu Han glanced at her.

There was so much valuable information about the zombies and there would be no tragedies in his previous incarnation if human beings could know the nature of zombies. There were only 20% human beings left during the exploration of apocalypse and there only half survived after a year had pa.s.sed.

"How do you know that? It, it`s impossible!" Shang Jiuti was opposing this information as she found it to be very unbelievable. They would be in such a terrible environment if it was true.

Chu Han turned his eyes as he did not want to continue to discuss with Shang Jiuti the theory that he discovered on his previous incarnation. He just pointed at the dark residential district, "Our noise would be lessened since there are some huge commotions around." "Fatty Chen, get us to the supermarket." Chu Han told him and then casually held his axe, "It is better if there are a group of zombies that were trapped there."

"How could it be possible? How could it be like this? It doesn’t make sense!" Shang Jiuti was trapped in certain thoughts.

Chu Han did not comfort Shang Jiuti in the slightest. His train of thought was completely different from a normal human being. He had no concept of civilization. There was nothing sensible in apocalypse, the very existence of the zombies was not sensible but they did appear. It was the cruel reality.

30 minutes later, the G55 had arrived at the supermarket.

The door was shut tightly and there was dark blood splattered on the wall; but there were several broken windows as rotten meat hung on the sides while some of them fell on the ground with a sticky substance.

There were at least a hundred zombies lingering in the supermarket. The supermarket has been ransacked and destroyed by the zombies but a lot of the merchandise inside was still intact. It was precisely due to the number of zombies that people didn`t try to gather common necessities there.

There were no human beings as zombies were the only ones that populated the supermarket.

It was a perfect place to lay low.
