Chapter 110: Stand Behind Me If You Want to Live
The atmosphere was really tense and the people had mixed feelings. Kuang Zhiran’s proposition was really tempting. In the face of death, desperation could easily corrupt a human’s heart. Could they just sacrifice the pregnant woman and then run away?
That thought took root in many people’s hearts. Kuang Zhiran was right. How long could a baby survive in the apocalypse? There were too many ways it could die.
They had met a team that ate humans, once. Babies were their food and women their playthings to vent their frustration or satisfy their sexual desires.
In fact, many people were unsatisfied with He Peiyuan’s way of doing things. A woman could not be touched casually; even raping was forbidden. Come on, it was the apocalypse. Who cared about morals!?
"I, I will go and kill zombies!" Someone could not bear it and then joined the battle.
"Me too!" Someone else chose participating in the battle.
However, half of them were still standing on the ground and looking at each other. That action was quite understandable. They were waiting for someone to break under the pressure and be the first to attack. After all, no one could easily bear the responsibility and guilt of killing a pregnant woman and her child.
Fear was written all over Jiang Zuo’s face. He suppressed his fear and thick killing intent took its place. Those people wanted to sacrifice his family; he would gladly turn into a demon in order to protect them!
The carriage’s door was shut tightly and there were ceaseless sobs and howls. The blood stimulated the zombies and they were getting closer and closer. The smell of rotten meat was getting stronger.
"Quickly!"
"Get ready for battle!"
"Where are the weapons?"
The people who would join the battle were gathered in one place. They had faced similar situations so they knew what should be done without He Peiyuan’s orders. Although death was inevitable, they still chose to join the battle.
From the team of fifty people, twenty people held weapons, including young men, women and teenagers. They were quivering and hidding behind vehicles or trees. They would rush and crash zombies as soon as they got closer.
He Peiyuan held the guns tightly. He could not help being scared when facing the terrible walking dead; even if he had spent thirty of his years in the military. He looked at Chen Shaoye hurriedly, "Your marksmanship is so good but you are just sitting there? There are so many zombies!"
Chen Shaoye was in a daze and stopped eating the eighth ham. He pointed at Chu Han and said vaguely, "My boss did not order me to get off the car. What are you afraid of with my boss around?"
He Peiyuan gritted his teeth and thought that the fatty was a coward. Then, he looked at Chu Han and could not help murmuring. The man looked like a boy toy. Could he really kill zombies or not? He could not let him be a burden!
Chen Shaoye and Shang Jiuti stayed in the van. They knew about Chu Han’s temperament as they were living with him for more than one month. They would take action only if Chu Han asked them.
Luo Xiaoxiao was playing with her toys since her wound had not recovered. She was not afraid of zombies since Brother Chu Han was there. Brother Chu Han could deal with an eighteen thousand zombie tide unhurriedly, so the approaching ones were like flies!
At the same time, Bai Yun’er did not take action. She looked like a calm Big Buddha in the desperate dark world. She felt nothing about the people getting ready to fight; instead she kept looking at Chu Han.
She was only interested in Chu Han.
Chu Han’s standing posture was subtle. Actually, he stood casually and easily. He did not care about the situation and he carried the axe on his shoulder casually.
The axe’s appearance had not changed at all, even though it had been modified in the smeltery. Its edge had become sharper and the handle heavier than it was. However, it was still light for Chu Han with the phase-one strength. It was so light.
"Just move away, boy!" Lu Hongsheng was in the front lines. He bluntly shouted at Chu Han, "Just stand behind me if you want to live. Stop standing here. Otherwise you have no one to blame if you die!"
Lu Hongsheng’s words lifted most people’s spirits. Most of the people joining the battle were the ones busy helping with the pregnancy; they had been unsatisfied with Chu Han doing nothing. They started cursing Chu Han when Lu Hongsheng said something like that, "Just get out of here and do not slow us down!"
"Just stand behind me if you want to live. Hug your head and cry. You can beg the zombies not to bite you."
"They are so arrogant."
"You should not be sh*t you pants after seeing the zombies eat people!"
"Hey! Lucky dog, don’t you see that dead body?"
He Peiyuan as he was about to say something, suppressed his words. They had not witnessed Chu Han’s action before, so he could not blame them. For the fact that he was the same age as his son, he would help him if he was a coward.
Chu Han was lost in his fantasies as he was thinking about the credits he could earn. He looked at the ones cursing him strangely and turned his head. He waved the axe that seemed like dropping on the ground and just waited for the zombies to come.
"Hm! What a pretentious guy!" Lu Hongsheng yelled and waved his arms. He held a hammer tightly, his muscles and veins popped. He planned to show that leecher his ability.
The zombies were getting closer and closer. Their actions were different from the mechanical tottering pace they were moving in one month ago. Their speed had caught up with an ordinary person’s pace. Their arms were more powerful and the fingernails were longer. They seemed like they had taken steroids. They opened their mouths and their sharp and outstanding teeth were exposed, some had blood and fat on them. Of course, it was what had remained from a human’s flesh.
Everyone was covered in sweat. They were quivering and from the bottoms of their hearts they could feel their panic sktrocketing. Although they had one-month battle experience, they were still scared of those monsters
"They are coming!" Lu Hongsheng stabilized his emotions and yelled, "Listen to me—"
Before he finished talking, there was a shadow rushing out like a bullet. Smoke was created by the extreme speed and it was like a ghost had blurred their vision.
All were in a daze! Who?! Who would be so impulsive?!
Lu Hongsheng and He Peiyuan recovered and found that Chu Han was gone!
