Apocalypse Meltdown

"What are you looking for?" Bai Yuner beside him suddenly chimed in without warning.

They insisted on leaving the blace immediately, thus, the girl`s long hair was messy and her clothes were very dirty.

Chu Han looked at her. His eyes seemed to penetrate her every part. During the entire trip, he only looked at her once and that was five minutes ago.

Bai Yuner turned her head. She said in a slightly charming voice, "I want to take a bath."

Chu Han almost choked. His calm voice echoed out, "You should not waste mineral water, just bear with it for a time."

——————

One month after the start of the outbreak, August 10, 2015.

Chu Han and his group had already made good distance. They kept moving at high speeds. The G55 suffered greatly during the battle. Chu Han did not keep the G55 in the base during the battle, he instead put it with the other cars to form the maze.

Now, the G55`s original appearance could hardly be distinguished, scratches proving the hardships it experienced during the battle. But even though it was not that gorgeous anymore, it was still as powerful.

Bai Yun`er`s hair flew along with the air blowing from the rear window. It greatly added more strangeness to the girl`s appearance as she was simply so lacking in emotion. She knew nothing of bashfulness, love, and fear.

Just like now, she was looking at Chu Han without any warmth in her eyes. There was only curiousity apparent on the beautiful pair of white pupils. She always looked at him like data, not a human being.

Chu Han`s eyes moved on from her into the front as he lifted the speaker, "Fatty Chen, we are going to rest."

Zzzzzz. Cheng Shaoye’s voice rang out, "Yes, boss!"

The two vehicles were then parked on the roadside. Weeds lined along the roadside. The 6 hour darkness seemed to also change the vegetation. The surviving weed crazily grew taller and lusher.

It was almost nightime so they opted to stay here for the night.

"Brother Chu Han!" Luo Xiaoxiao ran to Chu Han. Her loyalty which was as high as 80% proved to be a great propelling force to make her have an intimate relationship with Chu Han.

Bai Yun`er went out of the G55, her expression as cold as usual.

Lou Xiaxiao retreated towards Chu Han`s back. Chen Shaoye and Shang Jiuti simply moved some food out of the van.

Chu Han looked at his group`s reaction as he then glanced at Bai Yun`er. He did not know when this icy mountain would thaw. Very soon, the sun disappeared into the mountain range as the smell of cooked rice proliferated across the place. A campfire was between the two vehicles. They needed it because even though it was already August, the nights were still as cold as ever.

Chu Han stood on the weedy roadside as he looked towards the north where the sun fell. It was also the general direction of Anluo City.

"What are you looking for?" Bai Yun`er`s almost ghostly voice sounded out.

"Are you going to take a bath?" Chu Han pointed towards the place behind the weedy roadside, "Fling the weeds to the side and you will see a pond."

A body of water could be seen there. It was a pond that was hidden beneath the weeds. The light of the sun was still enough to see the place. It was very quiet, seemingly tranquil and without danger.

"You want to take a bath in the lake?" Shang Jiuti walked towards there as she said in surprise, "But its so cold now!"

Chu Han lightly laughed, "She is not afraid of the cold."

"I`ll go with you!" Shang Jiuti said.

Bai Yun`er moved towards the place Chu Han pointed to. Her expression could not be seen but her footsteps were full of determination.

"Mutant!" Luo Xiaoxiao cursed her once again.

"Okay." Chu Han patted the little girl`s hair, "Children should not curse others every time."

"It is time for dinner. Let’s eat." Chen Shaoye said to the group, "We could finally relax with Bai Yun`er gone."

Luo Xiaoxiao was the first one to react, seemingly aggreing with what Chen Shaoye said. The girl was so cold. Shang Jiuti hesitated for a while but she was soon attracted by the dinner.

Chu Han also moved to eat.

"Boss." Chen Shaoye was eating a piece of meat, finishing his bowl of rice in haste. He said in an ambiguous voice, "Are we going to Anluo City?"

He remembered Chu Han saying they should keep going towards Anluo City. Although it was still quite a distance away, their current progress was satisfactory. Chen Shaoye`s words stumped Lou Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiuti.

Chu Han smiled, "We`re gonna stop at Shi City on our way there."

"You... We..." Shang Jiuti`s train of thought was complicated.

"Yes, we will separate when we arrive at Shi City." Chu Han said calmly without any unwillingness.

Shang Jiuti’s lips moved but she seemed to choke on her words. Softness and hesitation becoming apparent in her usual arrogant expression. She knew that meeting again after they separated was very difficult. She was so unwilling to separate with him.

Luo Xiaoxiao`s eyes turned red as she put down her bowl of rice. 

"Listen to me." Chu Han`s voice seemed to have a sense of warmth, "Anluo City is so dangerous so you cannot go with me."

Besides, he needed Luo Xiaoxiao`s influence in the military. If her loyalty reached 90%, he planned to take a different route towards his goals.

He had ambition. He was not willing to stay at such a small place. Surviving was no longer satisfactory for him.

"But I do not want to separate with you!" Luo Xiaoxiao cried. Her tears flowed out as she looked like an abandoned cat.

Chu Han slightly patted Luo Xiaoxiao`s head, "We will meet again, I promise."
