Chapter 72: Garbage
The door was opened to reveal Luo Xiaoxiao and Chen Shaoye.
"You`ve slept for so long? Ah, ya, ya! The sun has already come up. How many times did you `fight` last night?" Luo Xiaoxiao said ceaselessly.
Ye Chen hurried to escape. He looked so funny while escaping. He also sneakily gestured a "thumbs-up" towards Chu Han.
Chen Shaoye strangely looked at the leaving Ye Chen as he then looked towards something. Suddenly, he looked towards Chu Han while giggling, "Boss! You are so great!"
Luo Xiaoxiao did not enter the room and thoroughly check it as she just exited while dancing.
Shang Jiuti was confused as to why those three people were acting like that. She looked at herself. Everything was normal. Her clothes and even her belt were still intact.
Bai Yuner was still expressionless since she didn`t care about anything.
Chu Han rummaged his eyes as he simply did not want to explain towards those two. These two women were menstruating. It was really an accident so his explanation would just be useless.
Chu Han checked the rest of the bullets and then he calmly asked, "Cheng Xianguo went out for the routine patrol, right?" "They went out early this morning to gather the materials you asked him to get. He gathered dozens of vehicle to help him in searching for it." Chen Shaoye answered rapidly, "Yue Zi accompanied them while Ye Chen was left to manage the base."
Chu Han’s actions were seemingly suspended as he remembered Ye Chen being so occupied. Something wrong would happen if the management of the base was left to other people.
——————
At dusk, dozens of pick-ups stopped at the gate of the base and unloaded the goods. A lot of boxes filled with materials and items were moved from inside the vehicles. The vehicles then turned and went out rapidly. The people who collected the goods had no time to even wipe their faces.
Cheng Zehao lingered with the busy group and he was very unhappy. Cheng Xianguo did not appear last night. Then this morning, Cheng Xianguo went out with a lot of people to collect some items. He thought those people would bring something good today but he didn’t expect the goods they would bring would actually be these items.
Only these?
Are those guys crazy?
"You rice eaters!" Cheng Zehao shouted without thinking and his fingers were pointed towards the nose of the people unloading those items, "Who asked you to find these items? These are useless in apocalypse! Have you looked at what you have brought? My god! So many useless things. There are even several trucks of it? Are they edible? Are you crazy? Who allowed you guys to collect these useless things?"
"It, it was ordered by the boss." One person was also clearly disappointed and murmured.
"My brother?" Cheng Zehao`s face turned dark as his anger surged out, "He is absent-minded! Are you also absent-minded?"
The people who unloaded the goods and were going to go out were embarrassed. They did not think Cheng Xianguo was a fool although they did not know how these goods were going to be used.
"It is said that Chu Han asked the boss to do it. We don’t know what they are going to be used for." One person frowned and answered but he did not stop his group from doing the thing they were tasked to do.
"Chu Han?" An unknown fierce light flitted across his eyes. It was Chu Han again. That guy!
"Hahaha!" He suddenly laughed and his smile was so big, "People with well-developed limbs are actually brain-impaired, I`ll just wait and watch him make a fool of himself. I`ll just wait and see how he`s going to use these useless items!"
Cheng Zehao’s laugh could be described as raffish and he looked like a devil exaggeratedly roaring in the empty gate of the district. The clamoring voices of the mass of people subconsciously lessened, but not because of Cheng Zehao`s voice which seemed to obscure the sounds they were producing. They all turned their heads and looked towards the same direction.
"Hahaha!" Cheng Zehao laughed until his laughter was the only sound you could hear on that place. He then came to realize that there was something wrong. Looking towards the eyes of the mass of people who all seemed to be looking at the same place, Cheng Zehao turned around rapidly.
On the exit of the district, there was a shadow opposite to the sun. He casually carried an extremely heavy axe and its humungous size made all the people looking at it feel its heaviness. The glinting and sharp edge reflected the sun`s rays while most part of the axe seemed obscure. The shadow it created was so big.
After walking towards the group of people, the shadow could now be clearly discerned, it was Chu Han. He then continued his pace towards the heap of goods, not even looking at the people clearly looking towards him. He walked towards the items being transferred from the pick-ups into that heap of items, walking at the same pace, not even noticing Cheng Zehao. He didn’t care about these people and he only needed these items for his aim of breaking out of the exit of the city being blocked by the tide of zombies. He would then leave the city.
His ultimate aim was to go to Anluo City and find his parents!
Chu Han`s gesture of ignoring him made Cheng Zehao feel extremely unhappy. He forgot about the axe filled with killing intent on the canteen yesterday because of his anger and hate.
"Stop!" Cheng Zehao loudly shouted and his voice was deafening.
Chu Han frowned and turned around towards the shouting Cheng Zehao. He looked towards Cheng Zehao with confused eyes. The people who were moving the items stopped what they were doing as they cast their eyes towards the two people. They hoped to see something they don`t get to see every day. They saw how Cheng Zehao almost shit himself when Chu Han dropped that axe in front of Cheng Zehao. Cheng Zehao clearly had no face left. These two people clearly hated each other and there would be a fight today since Cheng Xianguo was not present to stop these two.
Hey! There would be a good show this moment!
Cheng Zehao shouted and then he became silent. However, an unknown anger seemed to flood his senses after seeing the emotionless eyes of Chu Han. It was the look of disgust and the gesture that he did not care about him.
Thinking about his embarrassment at the canteen yesterday, his anger surged even more. His heart was fiercely stabbed by something and the eyes of the surrounding people full of mockery were very obvious. These as***les!
"Did I allow you to get out?" Cheng Zehao tried his best to get his superiority back, "You newcomer, you should not forget that I am the second-in-command of the base so I am still you superior even if you have excellent skills!"
Chu Han’s brain was oblique, "So?"
Second-in-command? What`s with someone being second-in-command? This base would be destroyed tomorrow.
An indifferent `So` made Cheng Zehao’s face twisted. His ferocious face was full of anger, "So you must listen to my orders. Do you want to collect all of this garbage? Let me tell you something. I can forgive you when you eat and live here for free. Yet you want these people to collect this garbage for you? You must clean all of these. You could no longer stay at this base if I would still see these things tomorrow."
Garbage? Clean it all?
Chu Han looked at the boxes and some items were scattered on the ground. These things could be called Trash in apocalypse.
But come tomorrow, nobody would dare to call them that.
