I've Killed People

"Listen," Chu Han said in a low voice. "Before they come up, we charge out."

From the very beginning, he had never intended to hold this place. He had no obligation to take responsibility for those hiding inside. There would only be more and more zombies; leaving was the only way.

Staying alive was what mattered most!

"What?!" Ye Tianlong suddenly shouted, his tone aggressive. "Charge out?! There are so many zombies right now—how are we supposed to get out? You're strong and capable. You must be police, right? How can you just abandon us?!"

Ye Tianlong's voice was loud, practically a full-throated roar. It deafened the ears and echoed throughout the stairwell. He even invoked moral pressure, and many of the survivors who had yet to leave were swept up in the emotion, looking at Chu Han with blame in their eyes.

That's right! You have strength and skills, and the two women even have guns. Aren't you police? Didn't the government send you to protect us? How could you leave us behind without a care?!

The zombies below, engrossed in their feeding, quickly heard the commotion. Several on the outskirts who had not gotten any meat immediately gave up Lu Wan's corpse and charged over with howls. The zombies entering from outside were no less eager, rushing up the stairs one after another. There were an enormous number of them; as far as the eye could see, there were dense clusters of pale, ghastly pupils.

"You!" Chen Shaoye snapped furiously. "You did that on purpose?"

Chu Han ignored Ye Tianlong. He did not even turn his head.

A vicious glint flashed in Ye Tianlong's eyes. This was exactly what he wanted—he wanted all the zombies to come so these annoying people would die! As for himself, he only needed to snatch the little girl's gun amid the panic. Why would he need to fear zombies then? He had several lackeys, more than enough to use as he fought his way out.

Click—

Just then, a gun was suddenly pressed against Ye Tianlong's waist.

Eighteen's expression was difficult to read. She was not tall enough, but her gaze was cold enough. "If you dare make another sound, I'll kill you!"

Then, she suddenly pulled her lips into a smile with an unclear meaning.

"I've killed people."

A bead of cold sweat slid down Ye Tianlong's face. He forcibly suppressed the fury in his eyes and revealed an awkward smile.

Roar—

The fastest zombie was already upon them!

Chu Han gripped the axe tightly, his arms suddenly exerting force as the blade flashed with a bright gleam.

Bang! It smashed viciously into the zombie's head!

Smack! The zombie fell in response, tumbling down the stairs and knocking over several zombies too stupid to dodge.

Chu Han took a step forward, his axe never pausing as he slashed fiercely in front of him. With one swing, several zombies were knocked down at once. None of them died, but it bought them a little time.

"Try not to shoot," Chu Han said to Shang Jiudi when he had a moment. "They can hear."

"Understood." Shang Jiudi's reply was crisp and decisive.

Chen Shaoye followed Chu Han and took a step forward, but fear made him miss several swings with his axe.

Bang bang bang—

Before those zombies could get back up, Chu Han rushed forward and hammered their heads at high speed.

Pitch-black blood and yellow-white brain matter splattered everywhere. The scene was as bloody as the depths of hell.

Chu Han showed no unnecessary emotion. Even as he struck, he did not forget to remind Chen Shaoye, "Fatty, calm down first. They're slow. You can absolutely handle them."

Chen Shaoye nodded hard. He glanced at Ye Tianlong, whose face was full of malice as he clearly plotted something wicked, and suddenly felt like a complete idiot.

Why he had fallen asleep for no reason was obvious without saying, and he had witnessed Ye Tianlong's cruelty with his own eyes. Compared to him, Chu Han might have seemed cold, and he had never said anything nice to Chen Shaoye, but he had never put him in grave danger. He had even been helping him train, teaching him how to deal with zombies and how to survive in the apocalypse.

Without Chu Han, he would probably have ended up just like Lu Wan!

"Boss, I'll listen to you from now on!" For no apparent reason, Chen Shaoye gritted his teeth and spoke.

Chu Han was baffled, but he had no time to deal with him. There were more and more zombies ahead. If they did not speed up, they might truly be in danger.

Roar roar roar—

Wave after wave of zombies came, soon packing the staircase full. Everywhere they looked were rotten, pale faces and the stench of decay.

Forget charging out—Chu Han and the others could barely move now. It even seemed as if they were about to be swallowed by the tide of corpses.

They opened their mouths wide and surged tirelessly toward the group, exposing foul, rotting tongues and teeth that were growing sharper and sharper.

The impatient zombies let out excited howls from their throats. Some were even chewing the air, desperately clacking their jaws at the humans right in front of them whom they could never quite reach, producing chilling cracking sounds.

Chu Han swung his axe desperately. His body, hands, face, even his mouth and nose, were covered in zombie flesh and black blood.

Chen Shaoye swung the fire axe like a madman. His rapid attacks carved out a vacuum in the air ahead. He was fat, and correspondingly, much stronger.

He felt power filling his entire body. Stick with the boss, and there'll be meat to eat!

Beep—

Suddenly, the Reforging System issued a mechanical synthesized voice.

"Chen Shaoye's loyalty has reached 80%. Points recovery system activated."

"For every zombie Chen Shaoye kills, the host receives 0.2 Points."

An imperceptible gleam flashed through Chu Han's eyes. A companion whose loyalty reached 80% could actually earn him Points!

Though 0.2 was pitifully small, it was better than nothing!

He glanced at Chen Shaoye. It seemed his desire to survive had been awakened. Several zombie corpses already lay before him, and black, viscous blood had submerged the fat man's calves. The sight was exceptionally bloody and violent.

Chu Han pursed his lips. This fatty might be timid and weak, but he was not completely useless after all!

Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong both crouched with their bodies curled up, trembling as they hid behind the others. Forget picking up weapons—they did not even dare raise their heads for a look. Yet they wanted to live, and they had placed all their hopes on Chu Han.

Eighteen's cheeks were pale, but her forehead was covered in dense beads of sweat. She was afraid—truly afraid. She did not know what these zombie things were, nor did she know why the world had suddenly become like this. But she remembered Chu Han's words. Her hands still gripped the gun tightly, its muzzle pressed against Ye Tianlong. For a twelve-year-old girl, that level of mental fortitude was already extraordinary.

Time passed without pause. Several hours had already gone by.

Yet Chu Han and the others could not move an inch. These infected kept coming one after another, impossible to kill off, surging forward like a flood.

Their numbers had long surpassed two hundred—there were definitely more than three hundred!

They looked toward the staircase ahead, where zombies were packed densely together.

Despair—

Filled everyone's hearts!
