Chapter 13 - Flee For Their Lives (1/2)

“The environment here is really complicated.”

“That’s of course, after all, this is a slum, like a slum in any city…”

Eight people marched in a narrow street, and from time to time, they also needed to break in several abandoned buildings, and even once entered a small sewer under Chu Hao’s leadership.

In the beginning, everyone thought that it wouldn’t be this complicated, but as Chu Hao took seven to eight turns, everyone’s heart gradually became strange and even shocked despite knowing that Chu Hao was basically with them. Although there was no actions, but these complicated routes were definitely not something normal people could know and find just by looking at the map.

Jarrod and Elaine might not understand, but the other five were extremely shocked. They clearly knew that Chu Hao had never been here, they knew Chu Hao chose these routes by looking at the map, yet how could he be able to completely memorize these maze-like routes? This was too amazing.

Chu Hao was quiet all the way, other than searching for the routes and avoiding obstacles, his face was getting more and more gloomy.

Everyone could clearly see Chu Hao’s expression. Although they didn’t know what would happen, but they were getting more and more nervous. Human’s emotions are contagious. The more urgent the situation is, the harder it is to stay calm, once someone feels it, the rest will also feel it. Such was true at this very moment.

Jenny was the only talkative person in the group. She finally couldn’t help but asked: “Chu Hao, what are you thinking about, don’t you always put up a fake smile in front of us? But the you now are very pale, and your expression is also weird, it looks… it looks like you are taking us toward a dead end.”

“Although it isn’t a dead end, but it’s not much different…”

Chu Hao didn’t turn back, still walking in front of the group. He looked at the watch and said: “We don’t have much time, we took ten minutes longer than expected. The situation is getting more and more dangerous the longer we take. The critical point is fifty minutes. Once we exceed our estimated time, walking on this street is the same as courting death. Instead of going back to the refuge, it is better to actually find a sewer and hide. Now… the time is getting closer and closer.”

Jenny barely smiled and said: “Is…is it that serious? This location seems very remote. We haven’t seen any alien along the way…”

“…From the beginning of the invasion, their first goal must be the most populated locations, such as stations, town squares, or public facilities. They will use the captured human’s brains, to produce more alien biological weapons. If the number of alien biological weapons in the first five minutes was one, then after five minutes, the number would reach ten, and one hundred in twenty minutes, one thousand in fifty minutes.”

“Once they reached their first goal, their second goal will be the populated residential areas, such as various communities, apartment buildings, etc. which we know from the plot in the movie. It was safe for the male protagonist to stay in the building in the beginning, but as time went by, the aliens would start to investigate the interior of the building. At that stage, all of the streets should be empty.”

“As for the third stage, hehe…”

Chu Hao didn’t go on any further, he just sighed and said: “Let’s speed up, we must go faster, follow my lead, try not to make any noises, we must get to the refuge before the second stage. Come on, everyone!”

Chu Hao’s analysis had thoroughly explained the dangerous situation they were in. Everyone tried hard to pick up the pace. Gradually, the middle aged woman had begun to get tired, she was also the last person in the group, and started to drift farther and farther away from everyone.

At the corner, the woman’s feet were sore, and then finally started to lose balance and fell on the ground. She was lying on the ground while gasping so hard that it seemed like she would pass out at any time. After seven or eight seconds later, she seemed to think of something as she shouted loudly: “No, don’t leave me, wait for me, please wait for me, I can still hold on, wait for me, don’t leave me here, no, don’t!”

In seven to eight seconds, it was enough for everyone to run a distance. When they heard the voice, almost everyone stopped subconsciously, and when they turned back, they found the woman at a corner. On one hand, they were looking back subconsciously, while on the other hand, they looked at Chu Hao.

But when they looked at Chu Hao, they suddenly found that his expression was no longer as stern as before, but rather hideous, and even showed killing intent on his face, his eyes were clear as water as if they were able to see through anyone.

“Damn! Doesn’t she know that shouting will alert those aliens biological weapons?!”

Chu Hao whispered in a low voice, but his feet didn’t stop. In one sentence, he was already at least ten meters away from the group. At the same time, he said: “If you don’t want to die, follow me immediately. Don’t make any noise, she… We can’t save her. O course, you guys can also choose to stay here and die together, I will not stop you.”

When Chu Hao said this, the first person to follow him wasn’t J, but Ares, who had always been nice to the woman. He was in the middle of the group, and after he heard the words, he squeezed himself directly in front of the male and female protagonists and hurriedly followed Chu Hao. The next person to follow him was J. He also ignored the male and female protagonists and tried to walk past them before Chu’s voice came again.
