Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 263: Don't Go To Anluo

A bonfire had been lit in the middle of Yu Village. Everyone was gathered around it as Wu Fan's body was currently being burnt. After the apocalypse, the bodies had to be cremated in order to not get eaten. Actually, only a few could fulfill their wish to get their bodies cremated, as most people wouldn't care about them.

However, Wu Fan was different. Yang Tian would not let his comrade's body rot or become the zombies' food. The same applied for Chu Han.

As for Zhou Zhu, he was locked in the prison house. Yang Tian had crippled his limbs in anger. At that time, Zhou Zhu felt regretful and realized why Yang Tian had picked him amongst so many ordinary survivors to complete some tasks. Although he was not the most trusted, he had so many benefits because of only one reason. Chu Han was his neighbor! Yang Tian had given him face because of Chu Han, but Zhou Zhu destroyed everything with his two hands. That was true torture.

Chu Han had stopped caring about Zhou Zhu long ago. Once people's emotions changed, it would be irreversible. 

The fire continued burning until it turned Wu Fan's body to ashes. None of the spectators uttered a word while Wu Fan's body was being cremated. They had complicated feelings in their hearts, as they witnessed a phase-3 evolutionary disappearing just like that. The post-apocalyptic world was extremely cruel. Even the powerful ones could fall at any time.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Han's eyes contained an inexplicable deepness as he turned to ask Yang Tian. 

"I'm going to stay here. It's a good location, far from the city and the forest. It's a good place for development, as there are fewer zombies and beasts," Yang Tian answered. Then he asked Chu Han, "What about you? Do you want to become the leader here? I'm not good at managing this place."

Chu Han forced a smile and shook his head, "I'm going to Anluo City. I must find my parents."

Yang Tian's heart skipped a bit, and he said in a rushed tone, "Chu Han, don't go!"

Chu Han was caught off guard and looked at him in confusion. "Why? My parents are waiting for me at home. I must go!"

"Nobody can enter Anluo City!" Yang Tian's face seemed really worried. "In fact, after establishing my foundation here, I wanted to find and help your parents. However, every time I tried, I couldn't get into the city. Not to mention reaching your home, which is in the middle of the city. Staying in the city for more than a week is impossible. It's too dangerous!" 

"You tried to find my parents?" Chu Han was touched. He had never expected that Yang Tian could have done something like that.

"Of course. We are sworn, brothers!" Yang Tian said with a determined tone, but he was even more worried. "Boss, I beg you. You will die if you go to Anluo. There are so many zombies besides-"

Yang Tian paused for a moment, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. "Besides, the zombie groups in Anluo are extraordinary. There are many phase-2 and phase-3 zombies. One time, I even saw a phase-4 zombie. As for phase-1 zombies, they can be ignored."

Listening to Yang Tian, Chu Han was astounded and his heart almost burst out of his chest. How could it be possible?

Anluo was a second-rate city which was not a populated as Tong City. It was impossible for such a small city to face such a strange situation only three months after the catastrophe.

"I know it sounds weird, but it's the truth." Yang Tian's worry skyrocketed. "Boss, I beg you, don't go. It's dangerous!"

Chu Han stayed silent, but his eyes betrayed how determined he really was. He had come all the way from Mingqiu City to find his parents. He could not give up on his hometown!

Sensing Chu Han's emotional state, Yang Tian stayed silent for two seconds and then he took a deep breath. "If it's like this, I'll come with you-"

"Stay here and develop this place. I'll go on my own!" Chu Han interrupted him with a commanding tone. Suddenly, the oppressing aura of a king burst out from his body. He gave no time to Yang Tian to react. "This is an order. If you disobey, you can forget about our brotherhood!"

"Boss?" Yang Tian showed a pleading look, but he could not convince Chu Han. He could not accept that Chu Han may die in such a dangerous place.

"You should live for me. That is it!" Chu Han left that sentence, and he turned to leave. There was no nostalgia.

Yang Tian looked at Chu Han's back and clenched his fist. After three seconds of silence, he suddenly became angry and yelled at Chu Han, "F*cking Chu Han, why are you so arrogant? Won't I be of help if I accompany you? I'm not like in the past! I'm no longer your stooge! I am a f*cking phase-4 evolutionary! What about you? You are just a phase-2 who's seeking for death! You will die!"

Chu Han stopped and turns his head slightly. Instead of the handsome but persevering face, under the shadow of the raging flames, there was a sense of coolness that was different from Yang Tian. He gave off a feeling of fortitude and mystery.

He looked calm, but he had a slight smile on his face. "You're wrong. I am a phase-3 evolutionary."

Before Chu Han's voice faded, he had already appeared 10 meters away. He was heading toward the base's gate.

Yang Tian stood still in the same place from the shock. He could only stare at Chu Han's back as he was displaying his lightning fast speed. He was not confident that he could catch up with Chu Han.

Phase-3?

"Sh*t!" Yang Tian cursed. "F*ck you! How could you evolve so fast!?"

He had evolved to phase-3 after completing the phase-2 test? Even though he was a phase-4 evolutionary, his speed was inferior to Chu Han.

"F*ck!" He cursed again but with a wide smile on his face. His boss was really powerful!

After rushing for five days straight, Chu Han finally reached Anluo City this night. Unfortunately, Anluo City's entrance was blocked.

There should be a freeway leading to Anluo City, but the road was filled with mud and stones, which was several meters high and long. The road was also split in half in some places as if an earthquake had struck. Looking at the side of the fallen mountain, Chu Han could roughly guess what had happened. 

Chu Han was really annoyed. After the apocalypse, natural disasters had become more frequent and devastating. Why did the road have to be blocked when he was about to enter the city!?
