Throw It in Your Face

"Take you to Stone City?" The expression on Chu Han's face was hard to read. The corner of his mouth curled up as he repeated, "Escort you?"

"That's right!" A strange glint flashed in Xiao Yunfei's eyes. He arrogantly raised his chin and cast Chu Han an exceedingly haughty glance. "You'll protect me along the way, take care of my food and hygiene. Of course, I'm a fair man. If you do this for me, I won't treat you badly. Once we reach Stone City, not only can I get the military district base to give you a position, I can also give you some extra compensation. You know, I'm very rich! Ten thousand. How about it?"

After saying that, Xiao Yunfei smiled in satisfaction. Stunned, aren't you, kid? Ten thousand. Had a poor brat like you ever seen that much money?

"Money?" Chu Han found it extremely laughable. He could not be bothered to keep tangling with Xiao Yunfei over this matter. The apocalypse had driven many people to severe mental strain; their minds were not quite clear anymore.

He suddenly reached into the bag by his feet. It held the food he had scavenged from the convenience store earlier, a completely stuffed bag nearly half as tall as an adult.

"Think it's too little?" Seeing Chu Han's movement, Xiao Yunfei looked disdainful. "You're a college student, and ten thousand still isn't enough? Fine, I'll give you a hundred thousand."

"The money you're talking about, could it be this?" Suddenly, Chu Han pulled a thick stack of banknotes from the bag. He had grabbed them casually, intending to use them to start a fire later.

Honestly, he was more accustomed to calling this kind of paper souvenir currency. Money from the civilized era was a joke in the apocalypse. It was not even worth as much as a bite of bread, and in the future, currency would gradually be replaced by something else.

"Just this much?" Xiao Yunfei said one thing while meaning another, stubbornly flaunting his power and prestigious status. "What can you buy with that little money? Enough talk. I'll give you a million. Kid, I'm telling you, don't push your luck!"

"Is that so?" Chu Han glanced at him. Then, without any warning, he suddenly hurled the stack of banknotes forward.

Smack!

It struck Xiao Yunfei squarely in the face!

Rustle—

The red bills scattered all over the floor from the impact.

Chu Han's action had come completely without warning. He simply flung his hand out, striking Xiao Yunfei accurately in the face and leaving not only him, but everyone in the room, stunned for a moment.

Xiao Yunfei's eyes widened, fury surging out of them. "You actually dare—"

Smack!

A slap!

It landed on Xiao Yunfei's face without warning!

Chu Han rolled his neck, his expression deeply displeased. He had done so much today, yet Shang Jiudi's loyalty was still only 50%. He had originally wanted to get the woman some hot water to raise her favorability, but he had not expected to run into this man. Of course he remembered who Xiao Yunfei was. In his previous life, he had been tortured by this man for a long time!

The room fell silent again. Everyone stared at Chu Han in shock, especially Shang Jiudi. In her impression, Chu Han was not this impulsive. Xiao Yunfei was detestable, but she had never imagined Chu Han would hit him just like that.

Eighteen—Luo Xiaoxiao—wanted nothing more than to clap and cheer. Well hit!

Chen Shaoye showed no particular expression. If Chu Han said one plus one equaled zero, he would believe it.

Chu Han's slap had directly dazed Xiao Yunfei. His entire head went fuzzy, and the ringing in his ears was so severe that he felt as if he were about to go deaf!

Warm blood flowed from his ear canal, staining half his neck a glaring crimson. He violently shook his head to clear it, flinging red droplets of blood onto the white wall and leaving scattered specks behind.

Looking at the unusually violent man before him, Xiao Yunfei was suddenly overwhelmed by fear and resentment so intense that he could not stop trembling.

Was this still that poor kid he knew? Chu Han had actually hit him? If this had happened before, he could have sent Chu Han to rot in prison forever. But now, he did not even dare fight back, because he suspected that Chu Han, who had acted so decisively, might truly kill him—just as he had done before!

How ironic!

The other two men backed away. Forget speaking up for Xiao Yunfei—they even wanted to kneel and beg for mercy. This man's moods were too unpredictable. They would be better off not traveling with him at all.

Chu Han grinned menacingly as he walked step by step toward Xiao Yunfei and his two lackeys. He paced slowly, his boots striking the floor with firm, rhythmic taps.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth lifted as he asked a completely unrelated question. "What happened to the corpse in Room 201?"

Xiao Yunfei's face went pale for an instant, but the pallor was quickly replaced by pain. He tried hard to put on a heartbroken expression. "That man was scratched by a zombie. To spare him suffering, and for the safety of the group, I killed him."

Xiao Yunfei's words were filled with sorrow. Since the hard approach would not work, he would try the soft one!

Yet the expressions of the two men beside him were strange. They looked like people frightened beyond their limits.

"I saw a bite mark on his arm." Chu Han smiled faintly and looked directly at the three of them, utterly unconcerned by how horrifying his next words were. "Was it tasty? It wasn't cooked—it was raw. Must've been pretty fishy, right?"

Boom!

Chu Han's words were like a clap of thunder, instantly changing the expressions of Xiao Yunfei and the other two. One of them could not hold it in any longer and began vomiting.

Bleurgh—

Amid the stream of filth pouring from his mouth, there was clearly a piece of meat mixed in with the white rice.

Chen Shaoye was horrified. He was the only one who followed Chu Han's words without question. If Chu Han said they had eaten it, then they definitely had. He immediately pointed at the mush on the floor in terror. "The food we gave you was only rice balls. There wasn't any meat at all. Y-you people?!"

Shang Jiudi covered her mouth in disbelief. A wave of nausea surged up her throat. The corpse in Room 201 had not been bitten by zombies—it had been eaten by them...

Luo Xiaoxiao swayed. She was too young; the truth was far too cruel for her.

A vicious glint flashed through Xiao Yunfei's eyes. He abruptly turned his head and kicked the vomiting man with a smack, sending him tumbling head over heels.

"Trash! Do you have no bottom line at all?"

After being kicked, the man had not even finished vomiting. All kinds of watery mess spilled over his body. He looked at Xiao Yunfei in disbelief, but when he saw the cold look in Xiao Yunfei's eyes, he abruptly stood up and pointed at Xiao Yunfei's nose as he cursed, "Didn't you eat it too?! You ate more than any of us!"

Xiao Yunfei's gaze turned icy. He stepped forward and glared at the man, then suddenly turned to Chu Han and said, "He must be infected. His mind isn't clear either. We can't keep someone like that. If he turns into a zombie, we'll all be finished. Kill him?"

Xiao Yunfei's tone was very polite. His attitude toward Chu Han had completely changed. He understood perfectly well who held the dominant position now.
