Chapter 182

Hua Yongzhi looked at Xiao Hua's back, and then he looked at Chu Han.

It was a piece of cake for Chu Han to hunt a chicken. He was never short on food since the apocalypse's escalation. Not to mention that he had forced w.a.n.gcai to trade a dimensional s.p.a.ce, as a compensation for the wasted crystals, to store the Wrangler, Xiuluo axe, and food.

Noticing Xiao Hua's reluctant expression, w.a.n.g Yan, and the slim monkey-like man's reactions, he was pondering why would chickens be so rare?

"Have a sit!" Hua Yongzhi sat next to the desk pa.s.sionately, and he gave a cup of tea to Chu Han. "I can't explain why but since I met you, I got a good vibe from you. We should have a talk."

"Brother Hua, do you want to talk with me about the base?" Chu Han sat and asked. Hua Yongzhi was a rare individual as sincere people were almost extinct after the apocalypse.

Mentioning the base, Hua Yongzhi sighed helplessly, "You saw the people outside. They are a ticking time bomb. They do nothing but waiting for the distribution of food. Some of them are villagers, while some others are newcomers."

Chu Han looked at the tea and took a sip. "Are there any other superior individuals other than you six at the base?"

Hua Yongzhi's eyes jumped, and he looked at Chu Han with surprise and uncertainty, but he still gave an honest answer, "The base has two leaders. One of them is called Qin Shou, and the other is Fan Jian, both of them are-"

'Cough!'

Hua Yongzhi hadn't finished talking when Chu Han started coughing. w.a.n.gcai hiding in the pocket covered its mouth with its long ears and tried to suppress its laughter.

What!?

That's a Chinese pun with the names. It can roughly be translated as An animal built the base, or Animal-built Base, when the two names are used in succesion.

Qin Shou? Fan Jian?

Those two names sounded really 'sophisticated' placed together..

"Hehehe!" Hua Yongzhi laughed in embarra.s.sment.

'Cough!'

"Please continue." Chu Han hurried to suppress his laughter.

"Great." Hua Yongzhi recovered, and then continued, "Qin Shou is the actual leader, and we come from the same village. He's the one who created the base while Fan Jian is a newcomer, but he is a leader too as his battle prowess is on par with Qin Shou. However, he doesn't like managing other, and his style is more independent."

Chu Han nodded, "How about any others? How do you provide food?'

"Hunting or harvesting crops that grow easily-" Hua Yongzhi was about to say something but a deafening sound came from outside, which was probably a signal.

"Sh*t! Something happened!" Hua Yongzhi stood up. He took a weapon and then rushed out. "You should stay here!"

Xiao Hua ran out from the kitchen nervously, and she worriedly looked at Hua Yongzhi's back. Chu Han stood up, drank the tea, and then he nodded at Xiao Hua before turning around.

Xiao Hua such a simple girl was stunned. Looking at Chu Han's back, she thought he was similar to her fearless husband. Xiao Hua was so shocked because the people her husband interacted with were mostly cowards that wanted to hide in their houses.

The walls east of the base were the most solid and people paid most of their attention there as the base would be destroyed it those walls were to fall.

Presently, whoever could fight gathered from all directions, and the phase-1 evolutionaries headed east. There was an unusually high spot on the wall with several long ropes extending to the outer side, so that people could use them to get down and fight against zombies. 

By the time Chu Han arrived, there were already many gathered people. Most of the people anxiously ran around, and even a catapult was pushed on the wall. Although the first outside wall was far, Chu Han could still see the situation from a gap.

Zombies! There were countless zombies.

The wooden wall was shaking, and it was getting looser by the second. A group of zombies squeezed their way in while some people were shooting at them from the second wall, but to no avail as they were far from each other.

The first wall was almost destroyed!

An arrogant voice reverberated in Chu Han's ears while he was observing, "Move away tras.h.!.+"

A sharp glint flashed through Chu Han's eyes. He turned back and looked at the voice's source, it was w.a.n.g Yan.

w.a.n.g Yan, the slim monkey-like man and the three people he met in the afternoon, all held weapons.

"Stop blocking our path. If you're scared, then go and pray at home!" The slim monkey-like man mocked, and he arrogantly pa.s.sed by Chu Han.

w.a.n.g Yan and several other people followed, and they jumped on the high wall and went down the ropes. About a dozen phase-1 evolutionaries stood in the center of the two walls, along with Hua Yongzhi.

Everyone was surrounding a man with the largest weapon amongst them. He should be one of the leaders Hua Yongzhi had mentioned.

"Pull!" That man ordered.

'Cras.h.!.+'

Twenty people standing behind a huge rope started pulling together, and several logs in the center of the first wall gradually rose.

'Roar'

The zombies outside the wall hurried to squeeze in as the logs were rising higher. Although not all zombies got in, there were still hundreds of them that succeeded.

"Kill!"Hua Yongzhi yelled, and he was the first man to rush out.

"Ah! My credits!" Chu Han sighed.

"Woo! Woo!" Suddenly suppressed crying sounds came from the back.

Chu Han turned back and saw Xiao Hua ceaselessly crying.

"What are you crying for?" Chu Han asked casually, "Is it useful to cry?"

"Shut up! Have you ever killed zombies? Do you know how dangerous zombies are? These zombies keep getting stronger, but you aren't worried?!" A woman shouted at Chu Han, "Aunt Hua is anxious, but you're so carefree. Zombies attack us occasionally, and they don't care if it's day or night. After every attack someone dies. Brother Hua was the first one to rush out, how dare you be so careless with your words?"

Chu Han looked at the hostile woman. She was almost the same age with Xiao Hua, and she comforted her.

"NO!" Suddenly the leader shouted loudly.

"What? What?" Xiao Hua was scared, so she ran to see what was happening.

 "Where is Fan Jian? Go and find him!" The leader sounded desperate, and what he said caused terror to everyone, "There are phase-2 zombies!"
