Chapter 26: Being Hysterical
”Tong City?’ Chu Han blinked.
He suppressed his fluctuating emotions and looked at Shang Jiuti calmly: ”Okay, I will go to Tong City.”
Shang Jiuti’s expression was unreadable and she seemed to be at a loss.
Eighteen’s eyes shone brightly. Her 60% loyalty rating caused her to trust in Chu Han wholeheartedly. ”It will be on the way. Anluo is so far and the route to Anluo pa.s.ses through Tong City. We can also restock our supplies at Tong City.”
She frowned at Shang Jiuti, ”Ninth, why don't we tag along with Brother Chu? It's better if we are accompanied by someone along the journey. After all, our chances of reaching Tong City are low if there's only you and me!”
Shang Jiuti’s brows jumped as Eighteen's words were irrefutable. They were women and it was especially dangerous for them to travel alone in the eschatology, where people exercised little restraint. It was exceedingly difficult for both of them to successfully reach Tong City unaccompanied. However, she could feel a soul-stirring aura of danger radiating from Chu Han, so she subconsciously desired to keep her distance from him.
How could common people jump from such a high place without sustaining any injuries? Did common people have such profound knowledge regarding the habits of zombies? Could a common person shoot a human being without hesitation?
Who was he?
Shang Jiuti looked at Chu Han and sighed slightly upon seeing the harmless smile of the latter.
”Alright, let’s go,” she said.
”Good.” Chu Han's lips arced upwards into a faint smile.
”How about us?” The surrounding survivors exclaimed excitedly.
They seemed to believe that Chu Han was their messiah.
”I'm going to Yin City—will you protect me?”
”I don't want to go to Yin City—will Brother Chu will send me to Chen City?”
”Brother Chu, I have no idea where should I go...”
”Shut up.” Chu Han interrupted their babbling harshly and spoke with eyes devoid of empathy: ”I am not policeman nor a person sent by the country to aid you. I am a common man just like you. I have no obligation to do anything for you guys, and you shouldn't count on me to accompany you. I am not your friend.”
He had seen through human nature and he was very familiar with the subtle expression of the crowd when he had finished the zombies and went into the station. These were ungrateful, vicious people and they were backstabbing, manipulative type.
His cold and heartless words disappointed the crowd. The majority of the people instantly changed their att.i.tudes and began shouting at him.
”Pick me up.”
Just as Chu Han had finished speaking, Jia Chunjie hastily opened his mouth. He ignored the impatient eyes of Chu Han and replied with the fastest speed, ”I am proficient in cooking since I am used to be a chef. I could help out, and I am not afraid of zombies!”
The importance of showing his value had been seen through by Jia Chunjie.
Chu Han regarded him silently.
”I have my own car, and I will not bother you. I will just follow you! I will also distribute my supplies on the road. There is some food in the warehouse, and I can share half of it with you!” Jia Chunjie exclaimed desperately. He would do anything to travel with Chu Han!
”And me and me! Don’t you want to leave without me?” Zhang Ziyu said quickly.
”And me!” Gu Xiaotong slower than the rest since she was still frightened by her previous ordeal. She was quivering violently.
”You two?” Chu Han glanced at the two people skeptically, ”If I take you guys, then you'll just run away when there are zombies! Would I receive any benefits if you two accompany me? I'm not that compa.s.sionate!”
The direct rejection made them blush, but they had nothing to say as they knew the truth in his words. They could only curse inwardly in their heart! Wasn't he narrow-minded for running away without them? Besides, he was still standing here now.
