Chapter 28: Broadcasting
"Cough, cough, cough!" Chen Shaoye choked on his saliva as his face reddened with rage. His expression was just as embarrassed as someone being caught while they were taking a shit. "You're only a 12-year-old girl. Can you stop saying such shameless things?"
A trace of derision appeared on Eighteen’s face, and she glowered at him: "Shameless? In what way is it shameless? I just say something normal, and you are the one with a dirty mind! Look, even Brother Chu is remaining silent. Fuck!"
Chen Shaoye seemed to be suppressing internal injuries as he was rendered speechless by Eighteen’s antics. The boss was the boss and he couldn't be compared so casually. Chu Han remained silent nothing as he tested the radio.
Jia Chunjie had started to prepare dinner. Naturally, the cooking of a professional cook was different. He could make good use of the ingredients. At this moment Shang Jiuti’s car stopped. Apart from Chu Han, the other two men were transfixed by her when she opened the door.
Her long legs were complimented by tight black leather pants. A pair of dark high heels and a jade-white hand subsequently came into view. After a slight push, the hot upper body wrapped by tight clothes entered the pair’s vision. The elegant, swan-like neck was trailed by dark, silky, long hair.
Now Shang Jiuti had removed her disguise, her current appearance would leave a deep impression at first sight. It was an irresistible face that all men were unable to take their eyes off.
Shang Jiuti’s brows were tilted upwards slightly, increasing her already potent allure. The magic of this beauty’s eyes were truly unique. She pursed her lips slightly, causing the duo’s hearts to pound rapidly.
Her flawless face made it difficult for people to look at her naturally. There was a powerful aura around her, showing that she was different from a common woman.
There was no weakness or fragility in her body—only the taste of a bossy woman.
"Can you hear anything?" Shang Jiuti walked over and spoke to Chu Han as soon as she got off the car.
Although Jia Chunjie retracted his gaze with great effort and began to cook, he couldn't stop himself from glancing at Shang Jiuti's body. The tight doublet she wore outlined her sexy curves and contours perfectly. She was just too alluring!
"I'm still switching the channels." Chu Han didn't raise his head. He answered Shang Jiuti's question casually and started to switch through the channels.
According to his memory, the broadcast should start around this period.
*Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!*
No matter how Chu Han switched the channels, only loud static interference could be heard.
Chen Shaoye used a telescope to survey their surroundings. Although the area was vast, that alone wouldn't ensure their safety. To prevent any unexpected occurrences, someone must be alert at all times—this was specifically ordered by Chu Han.
"Let me try." Eighteen wormed her way beside Chu Han with a curious expression on her face.
Chu Han shook his head as he failed yet again. He passed the radio to Eighteen.
"Be careful with it," Chu Han cautioned.
As soon as she received the radio, Eighteen immediately dismantled it under everyone's bewildered eyes. Her speed was so fast that Chu Han could only look on helplessly.
"Shit!" Chu Han cursed angrily. She must be a black sheep!
"So… Chu Han is your real name?" Shang Jiuti leaned on the doorframe, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous light. She was curious about Chu Han's origins.
Chu Han glanced at her silently. "Unlike someone, my name and appearance are real," he retorted.
"I am afraid that something bad might happen if I didn't disguise myself!" Shang Jiuti’s face darkened as she saw Chu Han’s nonchalant manner. This man was truly outstanding. Shang Jiuti had a stunning figure, yet Chu Han had no feelings towards her.
Chu Han smiled evilly, "You think too much."
"Too much?" Shang Jiuti choked with extreme anger. This man dared to look down upon her?!
Chu Han remained silent as he observed Shang Jiuti's reaction. Although Shang Jiuti was indeed beautiful and alluring, he had no time to pay attention to beautiful women—he had much more important things to do.
"Done!" Eighteen’s excited voice broke the brief silence between Chu Han and Shang Jiuti.
Chu Han excitedly turned around as he heard a voice coming from the radio Eighteen's hands.
"Shi City Military Area Base, this is Shi City Military Area Base! All people in the region of Shi City and the surrounding area should pay attention! Please come to take refuge immediately if you hear this broadcast! There’s accommodation and food in the base! Meanwhile, airdrop bags will be distributed around the country by a helicopter. Everyone should stay calm as there is food, medicine, and weapons in the airdrop bag!"
"Shi City Military Area Base, this is Shi City Military Area Base! All people in the region of Shi City and the surrounding area should pay attention! Please come to take refuge immediately if you hear this broadcast! There’s accommodation and food…"
The broadcast was repeated again and again. The first contact with an official body after the eschatology caused excitement to well up in everyone present. Chu Han looked at Eighteen with surprise; this wasn't something that an ordinary twelve-year-old girl could fix!
"Shi City!" Jia Chunjie dropped his pot and sat down beside the radio, listening intently to the repeated broadcast.
"We are rescued! Rescued! There’s even an airdropped bag and a military base. It's great! Too great!" Jia Chunjie was so excited he started babbling. He had thought that he was abandoned by the country, and he that he was doomed to live in a bad situation forever. As he listened to the broadcast, he felt the urge to weep.
Eighteen’s eyes shined with excitement, and she looked at Shang Jiuti and Chu Han expectantly.
Shang Jiuti smiled widely. "We will go to Shi City once we find Thirteen!" she said to Eighteen without hesitation.
"Yeah!" Eighteen nodded vigorously in agreement.
Chu Han said nothing—these two women's choice was within his expectations. His eyes flashed with cold light. He had heard the same conversation at a similar time in his previous incarnation, and he also chose to travel to Shi City with his previous survivor group without hesitation.
"It’s truly good news! We can travel to Shi City together, and there will be everything, including the protection of the military. We should settle down there!" Jia Chunjie sounded excited and looked at Shang Jiuti expectantly. He wished to get the recognition of the woman, so they could support each other in the harsh eschatology.
Chu Han smiled faintly and swept his gaze across the group. "Since you guys have decided to travel to Shi City, we should separate once you reach there."
He didn't attempt to dissuade them, nor was he unwilling to separate.
Chu Han’s words left the group dazed. Shi City was not far, and it was also close to Tong City. Why did he give up the opportunity to reside in a safe place?
"Why?" Eighteen wore a reluctant expression, "Why do you insist on going to Anluo City? It’s too dangerous outside!"
Chu Han’s face was devoid of emotion. "My parents are there!" he said in an unquestionable tone.
"Parents?" Jia Chunjie was momentarily shocked before a wave of confusion swept over him. "Anluo City is so far! It took more than twenty hours by train before the exploration. Now the traffic is bad, and there will be danger at every point of your journey. You’ll probably spend several months traveling to Anluo City! Can you be sure that your parents will still be safe at that time?"
