Apocalypse Meltdown

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Someone said in a trembling voice, "What happened to the little girl lying on the wooden bed?"

After he finished talking, everyone focused on Luo Xiaoxiao. She had a deathly pale complexion and her dress was covered in blood.

"Was she bitten by a zombie?!"

"Everyone! We have to stay vigilant! The little girl must have been infected!"

"We must not let them in!"

"Yes! We have to stay vigilant!"

Everyone was in an alarmed state. There were many scared young children hugging their parents tightly. Many of the adults that had been resting on the second floor immediately stood up and rushed down with their weapons. Soon, around eighty people were surrounding the supermarket’s entrance.

"Those that have been bitten can’t be allowed to step inside!"

That was what everyone was currently thinking. No matter if it was a man or woman, they all held weapons. They planned to force Chu Han and his team out of the supermarket.

As Chu Han and his team were getting closer to the supermarket, the noise of the obstacles being kicked got louder. Chu Han’s kicks were not soft, instead he they were vicious and powerful.

"A group of barbarians. They must not be coming with good intentions." A young man with a pair of glasses, named Su Xing, said slightly.

Su Xing’s words made the already nervous people worse. They could tell from the kicking sounds that the people approaching were a bunch of troublemakers.

Chu Han had reached the supermarket’s entrance, but didn’t continue moving. In front of the supermarket’s entrance it was a mess; it was like an earthquake had hit it.

"Why is it so messy? It’ll take some time to walk through this mess." Shangguan Yuxin was very confused.

"Someone has deliberately made it look like this." Chen Shaoye said without thinking and continued, "The boss said that there is someone here, so what you see must be man-made."

"I disagree. There is no way humans could create such a mess." Shangguan Yuxin had her own ideas. She pointed at the obstacles in front of the entrance, "As you can see there are gaps among those obstacles. Logically speaking a human would choose to block even the tiniest gap, the obstacles in front look like they have been stuck; just like after an earthquake. There is no way it’s man-made!"

Shangguan Yuxin tried to give a reasonable explanation, but Che Shaoye simply ignored her reasoning. He waved his hand and said, "I don’t care about your reasoning. If the boss says that there is someone here, then the whole mess must be man-made."

"You!" Shangguan Yuxin was infuriated, the fatty was too stubborn. She angrily stared Chu Han and couldn’t help murmuring, "A group of narrow-minded people! I’m even trying to reason with them."

Chu Han was silent, he ignored Chen Shaoye and Shangguan Yuxin’s dispute. He scanned several times the tightly blocked door.

"There is no way we can move forward, it’s totally blocked. Let’s go and check if there are any other entr-" Shangguan Yuxin couldn’t finish her sentence.

‘Bang!’

Chu Han kicked powerfully a blocked spot in front of him.

Shangguan Yuxin was shocked and mad by the sudden violent kick. She was truly annoyed with Chu Han’s action. She hated people who knew nothing about the world.

To her mind what he did was simply reckless!

It was pity though, as Shangguan Yuxin’s anger was going to reach its peak, it came to a sudden stop. At the same time, her mouth twitched with the scene before her.

‘Clash!’

The place Chu Han kicked revealed a narrow tunnel! It was so narrow that only one person could fit.

"There is a tunnel?!" Shangguan Yuxin was dumbfounded. She kept staring at the tunnel in front of her with mixed feelings.

Chu Han simply ignored the dumbfounded Shangguan and said to Chen Shaoye, "Let’s go! Move carefully and don’t lower your guard!" Without hesitating at all, he stepped into the tunnel and followed the dark road ahead.

Shangguan Yuxin swallowed her saliva and wondered how could Chu Han know about it? Was it an accident? Yes, he should have accidentally found it!

Everyone moved through the narrow tunnel, in both sides there were high shelves with weights supporting the tunnel’s ‘roof’. Because of the lack of natural light, coupled with the closed environment, the air was smelly and muggy. 

"Stop!"

An alarming voice came from the end of the tunnel.

Shangguan Yuxin looked like she had eaten a mosquito and lots of thoughts came to her mind. There was indeed someone in the supermarket, which meant that Chu Han was right! Shangguan Yuxin had an unsightly expression, her judgment was wrong. What’s worse, Chu Han, who she despised and felt contempt towards, had guessed correctly.

Chu Han and so on, spent several seconds adapting to the darkness till they could see clearly what was ahead. There were at least nineteen people surrounding the supermarket’s entrance. They all had angry expressions.

"Who are you? Why did you destroy the obstacles we had set!?" Someone asked.

Shangguan Yuxin wanted to die; she had made a fool out of herself. The obstacles in the parking lot were indeed man-made! The usually arrogant doctor’s face was red and she could not help looking at Chu Han. That man was able to discern that the obstacles were deliberately placed there! How?! Did he not find the tunnel by accident?

"Tell me!" That man kept asking, "Or we will kill you!"

The man’s hostile words shocked Shangguan Yuxin and she looked at Chu Han worriedly.

Yes! Why had he destroyed them if he knew they were deliberately there?

Chu Han shook his head and looked at the nervous and hostile people. He smiled suddenly, "I'm too lazy to go around."

He was too lazy to go around!?

His arrogant words left the hostile people speechless; even Shangguan Yuxin’s jaw almost fell to the ground. She had a military background so she naturally had met lots of arrogant people, but it was the first time she had met someone like Chu Han.

"Man! You are truly arrogant!" A tall and strong person got in front of the hostile people and said. He was Gao Yi, the group’s most powerful member. He raised a long iron staff; it was really heavy as one could see his strong muscles bulging.

"Thank you for your kind words." Chu Han shamelessly replied.

"You!" Gao Yi became very angry, "You’re shameless!"

The people surrounding Chu Han could not help grit their teeth. The boy was really shameless.
