"I said—I never intended to let you live."

The corners of Chu Han's mouth lifted high. Then his gaze changed, and a bloodthirsty killing intent suddenly surged through his eyes. "I'll chop you up and feed you to the zombies!"

It wasn't that he planned to or wanted to. He truly would do it.

The experiences of his previous life were unbearable to look back on. It wasn't just Xiao Yunfei, but others as well. Those countless devastating scenes remained vivid in his memory. He would not let a single one of those enemies go. He would find them one by one and repay the humiliation he had suffered in his previous life twofold!

Some people had hearts steeped in darkness, capable of committing every kind of monstrous evil. Better to—nip them in the bud!

People like Xiao Yunfei absolutely could not be left alive. This time, Chu Han had been lucky enough to run into him here. Even if they hadn't met, Chu Han had intended to find an opportunity to track him down and chop him to pieces!

Clang!

Xiao Yunfei was so terrified that he collapsed onto the floor. Chop him up and feed him to zombies?

Terror filled his face, but he also couldn't understand it. He was part of the social elite. He had money, status, people, and connections! How could he possibly end up like this? He should have been at the military base in Stone City, dealing with the military's upper ranks, controlling resources and power that ordinary people knew nothing about, casually manipulating others. He could have lived very well.

Fuck... it was all because of that idiot he had chopped to pieces. Of all places to run, why had he run here?! Damn it, if he had known, he should have taken a few more bites of that man's flesh to vent his anger!

The fury in Xiao Yunfei's heart grew stronger and stronger, already on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Chu Han's words made the two men, who had been deeply unwilling to accept the situation, break out in cold sweat. Both stared at the young man before them in terror. He frightened them far more than the hypocritical Xiao Yunfei. That hellish, savage emotion was too direct and too profound. Only someone whose hands were soaked in human blood could possess it!

"You still aren't leaving?" Chu Han looked at the two terrified men with amusement.

"We're leaving! Right away! Right away!"

The two scrambled out in a panic, clutching the food Chu Han had given them as they desperately fled outside. They didn't want to remain here for even one more second. This man was practically a demon!

Shang Jiudi's brows were tightly furrowed. From the conversation between Chu Han and Xiao Yunfei, it seemed the two had known each other before. Chu Han should have been an ordinary college student, so where had he learned all these skills? Whether it was his fighting ability, his intelligence, or his familiarity with firearms and machinery, none of it matched his identity or age.

The room was no longer crowded. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Xiao Yunfei remained seated on the floor, looking as though he had been terribly frightened. Yet beneath his lowered head, his eyes kept darting around. He would not sit here and wait to die. Absolutely not. He refused to accept this!

Chu Han—he would remember that name. Once he escaped and made something of himself in Stone City, he would find this man again and torture him in the cruelest ways possible! He would slice off his flesh piece by piece and eat it, soak his eyeballs in liquor! He would rape his woman, strip her naked, and throw her onto the streets. He would put collars around his parents' necks and tie them outside his door like dogs!

Suddenly, he sprang up from the ground and swiftly grabbed the fire axe beside his feet. Just a few hours ago, he had used this very axe to hack someone to death alive. That feeling had been absolutely wonderful. The thrill of blood spraying out as the axe blade sank into living flesh gave him an almost perverse appetite.

"Ah—!" he screamed, gripping the axe as he charged forward.

He believed no one would expect his sudden move. Shang Jiudi, that fiery woman, was very close to him. He could take her hostage, force Chu Han to hand over the food, and then escape safely!

Perhaps he could even take Shang Jiudi with him and use her as a trophy to amuse himself with on the road to Stone City!

Unfortunately, ideals were full, but reality was harsh.

Chu Han saw every movement in Xiao Yunfei's eyes and body. He sat there casually, quietly waiting for Xiao Yunfei to pick up the fire axe. Then, just as Xiao Yunfei screamed and tried to charge toward Shang Jiudi

Whoosh!

A gleaming, violently imposing battle axe suddenly blocked his path. The axe was truly enormous and heavy, twice the size of an ordinary fire axe. It was covered in dark, dried blood and gave off a strong stench of decay. It was impossible to tell whether the blood belonged to zombies or humans.

Chu Han easily wielded the iron axe in one hand, tilting his head slightly. "I advise you not to waste your strength."

Then—

Swish!

Chu Han suddenly twisted his wrist. The iron axe moved slightly as if it had come alive, smacking Xiao Yunfei's wrist with a sharp crack!

Chu Han's axe was extremely heavy. Though it had only been a casual strike, Chu Han was a Tier 1 physique evolver. That strength was not something an ordinary human body could endure.

Clang!

The fire axe instantly flew from Xiao Yunfei's hand and fell to the floor. An overwhelming pain shot through his wrist, and his arm swelled enormously at once. Sweat poured frantically from his forehead.

"Ah—ah!!"

He curled up on the ground in agony, clutching his wrist tightly. He felt that his bones had broken—no, they had been shattered, crushed into powder!

Shang Jiudi didn't even raise her head. She paid no attention to the scene unfolding right beside her. She trusted that with Chu Han there, Xiao Yunfei could never get near her. Having taken the fever medicine, she began packing their things. They could not stay here any longer today. Since they had already found the airdrop pack and food, it was best to leave early.

Eighteen and Chen Shaoye sat nearby chatting and eating snacks. Like Shang Jiudi, they completely ignored Xiao Yunfei. With Chu Han here, this man posed no threat whatsoever!

"Let's go." Shang Jiudi packed up all the necessities and checked once more to make sure nothing had been left behind.

Chu Han looked at her. "You could rest for the night before we leave. Your fever hasn't gone down yet."

"No need." The woman gave Chu Han no chance to say more. After tossing all the large bags to Chen Shaoye to carry, she gave Chu Han a faint smile. "I'm fine. I know you're in a hurry. You still need to find your parents."

For no reason, a trace of warmth rose in his heart.

"Thanks for understanding." Chu Han nodded, turned around, and picked up Xiao Yunfei as easily as if he were lifting a sandbag.

Xiao Yunfei was still howling and rolling around, drenched in sweat from the pain. Even while dangling in midair from Chu Han's grip, he continued to punch, kick, and twist about in agony, but he could not touch Chu Han even once.

The group quickly left the small hotel. Chu Han went ahead carrying Xiao Yunfei, while Chen Shaoye drove the G55 to refuel and parked at the town's exit. They had agreed to meet at the intersection and leave once Chu Han returned.

With Xiao Yunfei thrashing endlessly in his left hand and the iron axe resting on his right shoulder, Chu Han appeared outside a residential building. Many zombies wandered around here, and before he even got close, he could hear deafening roars rising and falling one after another.

But he knew there had to be living people here. Though he wasn't kindhearted enough to save everyone he encountered, he would do what he could to offer some help to surviving humans.

After all, they were the same kind!
