Chapter 100

"This?" Chen Shaoye picked up the nail on the ground and gave it to the boss with a confused expression. What was wrong with the nail?

Chu Han took the nail and put in his hand, just from its coldness one could tell it was an iron nail. It looked normal but, suddenly, Chu Han frowned as he was touching its curved tip.

Shang Jiuti sensed that something was wrong with Chu Han’s expression and she asked, "What is wrong with the nail? In such a factory, isn’t it normal for a nail to have fallen on the ground?"

Luo Xiaoxiao casually looked around and from her eyes on could see her excitment as she was moving forward.

Bai Yun’er narrowed her eyes and stared at the weak light. She did not pay attention to Luo Xiaoxiao who was walking toward the darkness, getting further away from their group

Chen Shaoye also looked at the nail. He believed in Chu Han and that there must have been something wrong if Chu Han had sensed so, "Boss, is there any problem?"

Chu Han quietly said, "The nail is broken and it must have been smashed on a head bone."

Head bone? Zombies? Human being?

The air became cold and lots of thoughts came in their minds.

Ta ta ta!

Suddenly, a high frequency sound different from gun was heard!

At the same time, they started running and hid between the debris that were piled. But at that moment--

"Ah!!" Luo Xiaoxiao’s loud shocked voice came from a far place.

"Luo Xiaoxiao!" Shang Jiuti shouted and rushed toward her position in order to drag her back.

‘s.h.i.+t!’ Chu Han was shocked since Luo Xiaoxiao was out of his vision. He stretched out and dragged Shang Jiuti back, ignoring the woman struggling in his chest. He covered her in his chest and then the axe fell on the ground.

A loading sound came from the little pistol.

Bang!

The gun was aimed at the place where the sound had come from.

Chu Han had judged that the sound came from a nailing gun. While they were walking to the place with light, the enemy was hiding behind them. They did not know since when they were being followed and how many enemies there were. Naturally, it would be impossible for zombies to have attacked them since they didn’t know how to use a gun.

There was a human being in the smeltery!

The gun had stopped firing and the entire area was silent. The others were shocked and the faint light was still there. It looked like a trap, like a beast hiding in the darkness waiting to attack the moment anyone was about to approach its lair.

"He! He!" Chu Han could feel Shang Jiuti’s heavy breathing on his chest. Her heartbeat sounded like a clock with high frequency percussion. The percussion was ceaseless.

Chu Han frowned. He was trying to listen if any sound would come from that place while he was touching Shang Jiuti’s back with his left hand. It was a subconscious action as he was trying to calm Shang Jiuti down. Otherwise, her loud heartbeat would affect his sensitive five senses.

Even though Shang Jiuti had panicked she did not leave and was calming with Chu Han’s touch. She was sensitive and she suddenly became nervous. Being a girl she panicked and her heart started beating fiercely and faster.

He was touching her?!

Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!

Chu Han’s hand stopped moving, ‘s.h.i.+t, what was I doing?!’

How could a woman’s heartbeat be so strong? The sound it made was magical!

At that moment- ‘Ta ta ta! Ta ta ta!’

The fierce gun sound was heard once again again accompanied by faint crying.

‘Luo Xiaoxiao!’

Chu Han threw Shang Jiuti at one side. The other party was a human being so he left the axe to pick up the lighter pistol. He avoided a flying nail with a maneuver and he walked along the wall.

Luo Xiaoxiao was not far and a slight blood trail could be seen in the surroundings.

Her choking voice could be heard as she was trying to resist the a.s.sailant.

It was good, she was still alive!

Chu Han calmed down, his eyes had adjusted to the darkness so he searched around. There were many obstacles in the surrounding area and the materials were so messy that it was convenient for him and Luo Xiaoxiao to hide. However, the same applied for the enemy.

He could directly fight against hundreds of zombies but he had to be careful facing a human being. Humanity’s greatest advantage was its intellignce.

The noise from the nailing gun never stopped and there were lots of sharp nails flying. He would be exposed if he proceeded. Chu Han could easily escape but what he was scared about was Luo Xiaoxiao’s safety. Although she was violent, she was still a twelve-year-old girl.

Chen Shaoye and Shang Jiuti were really worried while hiding in a dark place. Who was their enemy? He was human being, why would he attack them? They had not robbed any food or offended others. What was the reason?

Bai Yun’er stood in the corner and hugged her chest, she looked like an outsider. Her cold eyes did not resemble a human being’s. Ignoring Chen Shaoye and Shang Jiuti who were nervous, Bai Yun’er frowned and then turned her head. Between birth and death there was only a letter. [1]

Even if Luo Xiaoxiao was dead, she had no feelings toward her. The reason she was in the team was that Chu Han had information that she was interested in—Bai family.

The gun aimed at the sound’s source as Chu Han’s vision was better than others’. In front of common people the scenery looked dark, but he could distinguish something with his extraordinary senses.

There were piled steel plates and between them there were gaps. Judging from the nailing gun, there was only one person and the nailing gun’s direction was from one of the gaps.

He narrowed his eyes and the shape of a human came in his vision. Chu Han had made a vague picture in his mind of the human behind the plates. He was standing up and his legs had the same width as his shoulders, he was a tall man.

He looked through the gap and sweat could be seen on Chu Han’s face.

s.h.i.+t! The fatal part was blocked!

He looked down and there were two places he could shoot. Besides the shooting technique, each of those two gaps had a 50% chance of the other person's leg. He could not confirm which part since he could not see clearly.

The distance between him and his opponent was out of the distance of his accuracy talent, which was the limitation of the meltdown system. Only by upgrading the accuracy could the range be increased.

He had only two choices at that time.

He would have to move in order to confirm the enemy’s position but the risk was so big that the enemy would know it. He was a human, not a stupid zombie.

Or he would have to bet by blindly attacking with 50% percentage success rate, but the gap of the piled plate was very small. He could not ensure that he could shoot at once. No one was perfect.

Ta!

Suddenly there was a slight and distinct sound between the sound of gunfire, from the nailing gun. It seemed that the sound came from his body touching a plate.

That was his chance!

Chu Han closed his eyes and pulled the trigger!

Bang!
