Chapter 74: Why is He Doing Nothing?
Cheng Xianguo looked towards the people cursing him as a sense of debility washed over him. They were trying to think of how to fight the coming zombies tide; but instead they were being blamed. He could not explain their plan because only Chu Han knew of it.
How did Chu Han know about the zombies tide? What was the purpose of these smartphones and laptops?
Cheng Xianguo did not know and he was confused where his loyalty towards Chu Han came from. His brother obviously held hostility towards Chu Han. The silent Cheng Xianguo who was hesitating stimulated the crowd even more.
"Throw it away! We need food!"
"Chu Han is such an asshole!"
"He should not be allowed inside the base. Imagine what would happen if he continued to stay here?"
"That’s all!" Ye Chen suddenly shouted, anger clearly emanating from his eyes. He took the pistol on his waist.
Bang--
The loud gunshot clearly shocked the crowd, silencing them.
"Just continue what you did before if you want to survive!" Ye Chen roared with a husky voice and his appearance was so terrible, "Are afraid of zombies but want to have food. Are afraid of going out but likes to point towards people. You had better not push me too much for me to kill you!"
The people scampered away but they clearly held an even more clear anger towards him. More people even started to curse him.
"Brother, this will be the last time I will call you ‘brother’!" Cheng Zehao walked towards Cheng Xianguo and said in a soft voice, "I just want to take a look how Chu Han would make use of this rubbish! You had better not regret it!"
After saying that, he quickly left while targeting his hatred towards Ye Chen when he passed by him.
Cheng Xianguo and Ye Chen raised their eyebrows after looking at the receding shadow of Cheng Zehao.
"Thank you, guys!" Cheng Xianguo patted Ye Chen`s shoulder faintly. He should have been the one to say those words if not for his hesitation and his patience towards Cheng Zehao.
"It`s okay." Ye Chen put his pistol back as he returned to his normal calm expression, "There will always be someone that says such words."
"Sigh!" Cheng Xianguo smiled faintly as he bitterly said, "I do not know whether it was a chance or not?"
"What`s the situation outside?" Ye Chen asked.
"There really are zombies." Cheng Xianguo could not help but panic as his fingers were clearly trembling. "Chu Han was correct. A vast horde of zombies have gathered opposite to the bridge. I have seen them. There are so many."
Ye Chen was scared and he could not help but look towards the faraway place. It was where they could faintly see Chu Han`s silhouette.
"What is he doing?"
——————
The night after the event was not calm in any sense. Panic extended towards the buildings. Countless people could not sleep well while the children were ceaselessly crying.
When the sky turned bright and a bloody fog engulfed the surroundings, the people woke up. People went out of their residential quarters after waking up. They were scared by the scenery in front of them.
Piles of zombies were hanging with their meat barely intact. Some of the parts fell into the ground as it turned into a muddy pool. Fingers and tendons were scattered around. The rotten smell perforated the entire district that some of the people even moved the bodies. They would then be burned.
"Was the quarter attacked last night?"
"There are so many zombies! There are hundreds of zombies!"
"My God! Have zombies come to out doors?"
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Panic rapidly invaded the entire Xianguo Base.
People who seldom got out of the base were shocked. The crying of children was deafening and most of the old people and women were too afraid to even go out of their rooms.
Cheng Xianguo went out of Chu Han`s room and looked at the place out of the district with a weird expression. Looking at the zombies group that was tidied up, Cheng Xianguo held up the fist, "How many casualties?"
"Many." Ye Chen said in a lowered voice, "Without professional training, half of the guardians died last night."
Cheng Xianguo bit the corner of his mouth, "Suppress the unrest and then comfort the residents."
"Yes." Ye Chen walked and said, "How about Chu Han?"
Cheng Xianguo suddenly stopped his footsteps as he carefully looked at a piece of paper, "Brother Chu asks us to do what he wanted us to do and to do it quickly." Ye Chen received the paper and then there was doubt in his eyes, "Really? Zombies are moving towards here."
Ye Chen’s words were finished--
Bang!
There was another gunshot as another zombie fell down on the place a good distance away from the base.
Cheng Xianguo suddenly became nervous, "The zombie tide must be already here this afternoon based on the successive attacks last night!"
"We must speed up the gathering of those items. We no longer have any other options but to believe in Chu Han!" Ye Chen`s eyes coldly glinted as his voice also became urgent.
After three hours, bustling shadows could be seen everywhere in the base.
"Quick! Be quick!" Yue Zi guided those people with a megaphone.
Vehicles were driven in and out quickly of the base. The residents sallied forth in full strength. Even ten-year-old children worked hard in that hot day. People threw stones or something heavy into the vehicles to stop them in place. Everyone was in panic since they were shocked by the successive zombie attacks, even dozens of them at one time. The frequency was becoming higher and higher.
Was a zombie tide coming?
Cheng Xianguo was standing on high ground as he took the map Chu Han gave him while comparing it with the scenery below.
"Yue Zi, the east corner is wrong and the head of those vehicles should face towards ten o’clock." With megaphone in hand, Cheng Xianguo was sweating as he gave orders. The pile of zombies was getting more and more by the passing moment and he could feel that a large group was coming towards this place.
"Move! Move!" Yue Zi hurried forward and started to correct the positions of the vehicles as Cheng Xianguo instructed.
Chu Han looked at the messy scenery when he went out with Chen Shaoye. All vehicles of the district were moved out and parked in the blank space in the center of the base. Large vehicles were behind the smaller vehicles, which seemed to be an irregular arrangement.
They went through the group of people as they cautiously scanned the surroundings. Chu Han needed to check the place to ensure that there was nothing wrong.
Some of the people who were working on that place were Minqiu University students. They saw Chu Han. They cast envious glances towards him after seeing him not sweating even a little bit.
Duan Ming moved the stone with harsh breathing and his tone was extremely unsatisfied when looking towards Chu Han, "Why is he doing nothing?"
