Hysteria

"Tong City? Chu Han's eyes flickered.

He suppressed a ripple of emotion and calmly looked at Shang Jiudi, "Then forget it, I'm going to Anluo City."

Shang Jiudi's expression was subtle, as if she didn't know how to respond.

Eighteen, however,'s eyes lit up at this moment. Her 60% loyalty gave her a heartfelt trust in Chu Han. "We're going the same way. Anluo City is far, and Tong City is on the way. We can resupply when we pass through Tong City."

She then frowned at Shang Jiudi, "I say, Old Jiu, isn't it better to go with Brother Chu Han? We can look out for each other along the way. When will we get to Tong City if it's just the two of us!"

Shang Jiudi's brow twitched, but she couldn't deny that Eighteen was right. They were both women, which was undoubtedly a danger in a lawless apocalypse. It wouldn't be easy for the two of them to enter Tong City to find someone. However, Chu Han gave her a sense of thrilling danger, making her subconsciously want to keep her distance.

Could an ordinary person jump from such a height and remain unharmed? Could an ordinary person be so familiar with the habits of zombies? Could an ordinary person hesitate to pull the trigger on another human?

Who was he?

Shang Jiudi looked at Chu Han, and under his harmless smile, she sighed softly, "Then let's go together."

"Good," Chu Han's lips curved into a smile.

"What about us? What about us?"

The survivors who had managed to stay alive gathered around Chu Han, chattering away as if they saw him as their savior.

"I'm going to Yin City, you'll escort me, right?"

"I'm not going to Yin City, Brother Chu, take me to Chen City?"

"Brother Chu, I... I don't know where to go—"

"Enough!" Chu Han interrupted them, his gaze devoid of any superfluous emotion. "I'm not a police officer, nor am I sent by the government to be a savior. I'm just an ordinary person like you, so I have no obligation to do anything for you. Don't expect me to take you with me. I don't know you well."

He had long seen through human nature. He was all too familiar with the subtle expressions that had yet to be retracted from these people's faces when he entered after dealing with the zombies. There was a species called ungrateful people.

The cold and heartless words made everyone look disappointed, and most of them immediately changed their expressions and wanted to curse.

"Take me with you!"

As soon as Chu Han finished speaking, Jia Chunjie spoke up without hesitation. He ignored Chu Han's impatient look and spoke at the fastest speed possible, "I can cook. I used to be a chef, and I can help. I'm not afraid of zombies either!"

Showing his self-worth was important, Jia Chunjie understood this.

Chu Han looked at him without a word.

"I have my own car! I won't trouble you, I'll just follow behind your car! On the road, I'll also contribute. There are still some food supplies in the warehouse, I can give you half!" Jia Chunjie was desperate. As long as he could follow Chu Han, he would do anything!

"Me too, me too! You won't leave me behind, will you?" Zhang Ziyu quickly said.

"Me too!" Gu Xiaotong was a step behind. Perhaps because she was still shaken, she trembled all over.

"You two?" Chu Han looked at them sarcastically. "If I take you, and then you run away when we encounter zombies? Then why should I take you? Am I that bored?"

The direct refusal made their faces flush red, but they couldn't say a word, only cursing him fiercely in their hearts! It was just abandoning him and not taking care of him, did he have to be so petty? Besides, aren't you standing here just fine now?

Chu Han ignored the emotional gazes of the people around him. After appeasing the agitated Chen Shaoye, he went to the second floor.

The scene on the second floor was no better than the first. Due to the zombie horde's attack, the walls had fallen, and they were densely covered in black blood. The ground was uneven, covered with dismembered limbs and rotten, foul-smelling flesh. Stepping on it, one could barely find a flat surface.

The stairs were also covered with zombie corpses. Not all zombies were dead; some only had their heads left, still alive. Sensing the scent of humans, these not-quite-dead heads all opened their mouths wide, making clacking sounds as their jaws collided.

Chu Han swung his axe, dispatching these pitiful lives one by one.

Zombies could never become human again.

"Ah—"

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

Suddenly, three screams of varying degrees came from downstairs, carrying a sense of extreme terror. Immediately after, chaotic noises intermingled, instantly filling the previously quiet environment with panic.

Chu Han's grip on his axe tightened, and he rushed downstairs.

The first-floor lobby.

Several survivors shivered in a corner. Chen Shaoye was with Shang Jiudi and Eighteen. Chen Shaoye had a complex and pained expression on his face, while Shang Jiudi and Eighteen calmly held their rifles.

What happened? Before Chu Han could ask—

"Roar—"

A characteristic zombie roar sounded.

Immediately after, Chu Han saw a familiar figure stand up from the ground, staggering as if malfunctioning. His skin was pale, with a faint greenish tint. The pupils in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a milky white.

"Zhang Ziyu?" Gu Xiaotong's voice was filled with disbelief. She screamed and retreated in panic, but she was tripped by a zombie's arm and fell to the ground.

And Zhang Ziyu, now a complete zombie, was attracted by Gu Xiaotong's scream. As if seduced by a maiden, he pounced on her with impatience, almost at the fastest speed, knocking Gu Xiaotong to the ground.

Swish!

Chu Han rushed out at top speed and kicked Zhang Ziyu away!

At the same time, the sound of Shang Jiudi's automatic rifle rang out. A bullet shot into Zhang Ziyu's head, and the completely blackened pus and blood sprayed out, splattering all over Gu Xiaotong's face.

Shang Jiudi's action was decisive. This was not human; it was a zombie.

Chu Han looked seriously at the remaining survivors, "How many of you have been bitten or scratched by zombies?"

The virus's infectivity was very strong; humans not yet in the evolutionary stage were completely unable to resist.

"Ah—" Suddenly, Gu Xiaotong's hysterical scream rang out, interrupting Chu Han's questioning.

Still shaken, she screamed loudly without regard for anything else. Unable to calm down, she collapsed onto the ground and cried hysterically, desperately rubbing the zombie blood off her face on the ground. She rubbed with great force, wiping furiously.

"Stop!" Chu Han exclaimed, startled.

But it was too late. Gu Xiaotong's cheek had broken skin, and dark red blood flowed down her fair, tender skin. The black blood containing the zombie virus had already entered her bloodstream.

She ignored Chu Han's voice, frantically rubbing herself on the ground.

"So disgusting! So disgusting! These disgusting things! Zhang Ziyu, you won't die a good death! Get away, get away! Ahhhhh!!!"
