54 Eagle’s Crash Part Two (2/2)
”I need to find a survival camp, or find a place to stay for the night.” Chu Nan scanned around as he walked to the end of the street.
The abandoned cars on the road still maintained the same look since the moment war erupted. Since the hotspot of the war was in the middle of the city, people would escape to the rural areas.
Therefore, most of the vehicles would point in the direction of the rural area.
He had examined the cars before he walked into the direction away from city center.
Anywhere is better than the city center.
That’s the one common conception every survivor had.

The sky began to turn yellow as the sun had fallen to the edge of the horizon. The cast of the yellowish green ray through the radiation dust had a vibe of ominous to it.
He didn’t know how long he walked before it began to turn dark. Chu Nan glanced at the zombies beside him as they've already begun to howl. In a while, those zombies would start to prey on living creatures.
[Should I find somewhere to stay for the night?]
Chu Nan thought as he began to hasten his steps.
When he turned around another corner, he saw a scene that shocked him.
A woman was tied to an electric pole in the middle of the street. She barely wore anything as zombies circled around. She was afraid to call help.
With his pilot vision, he could even make out the look of despair on the rather lovely face.
Someone obviously tied her.
”Fu*k, which bastard did such a disgusting prank,” Chu Nan cursed as he cautiously scanned around before he walked towards the woman.
When he approached her, the pleading eyes full of hope locked onto him. He took out the dagger and cut open the rope.
Perhaps because she had just escaped the terrifying experience that chained her there, the woman hugged him as she cried.
”Thanks, Thank you.” It was a soothing voice.
”Ok, don’t worry, you are okay now.” It was the first time he encountered this situation which made him unsure of what he should do. He only patted the woman’s back clumsily to comfort her.
[The survivors in Wanghai City are cruel to this point?]
He cursed at the heinous act that people committed to her as Chu Nan was just about to ask where the nearest survival camp was.
But at this moment, a barrel-like object pressed against his head again.
”Ha, buddy, you are the first dumba*s to fall for it.”
Sweat began to roll down his back as his hand slightly move, but he realized a dagger was pressed against his back.
That dagger was held by a delicate hand.
At the same time, a bunch of men in mohawks and tattoos walked out from the empty shops. They held some knock-off rifles and one simply carried a bat.
The bald head, holding a cigarette, was the head of the group as he walked in front of Chu Nan. He raised his eyebrows as he patted the woman’s face and said in a mocking voice.
”Nice job, bit*h.”
Just like a dog.
An unhealthy red flush appeared on her face as she tried to please the man that just embarrassed her.
The cruel reality sent a shiver down Chu Nan’s spine while cold sweat rolled down his face.
Despite living in the apocalypse for so many years, it was the first time he saw anything like this.
[Is she still a human being?]
”Two blood needles, one bandage, damn, six B-grade nutrient supply! Boss, it’s a big fish!” A man who took off his pistol and searched him shouted in surprise.
The zombies mindlessly looked in their direction, but despite the noise, there was still two hours before night fell.
The bald head looked at Chu Nan full of interest.
”Name?”
”Chu Nan.” There was nothing to hide since his EP had all the information.
”Where are you from?”
”Liuding Town. Pilot.”
”Where’s your plane?” Greed flashed through the bald head’s eye. He did not look cautious at all when he heard Chu Nan say that.
”Crashed.”
”Hehe.” The bald head smiled and didn’t say anything. He signaled his men to tie him up.
”If you are only here to rob me, you have already achieved that. You can have everything, let me go?” Chu Nan said calmly.
The bald head raised his eyebrows as he suddenly threw a punch in his face.
He suppressed his anger as he resisted the sharp pain on his left cheek. Chu Nan glared at the bald head.
”You are a captive so shut up,” he cursed as he extinguished the cigarette on Chu Nan’s face before he waved his hand. ”Take him back.”
He looked at the dumba*s that took the bait as he laughed mockingly. He then kicked the half kneeling woman in front of him, but the same unhealthy flush of red and a smile to please appeared.
The woman had no name and was just a slave. Perhaps she just an independent traveler before? He didn’t remember when she was captured, nor did he care how they trained her to be like this. But he remembered clearly how she became part of his asset.
Last month, he managed to find a target and proved it was a big fish.
His boss sent an entire raid team, but the Lu Renjia dumba*s ruined everything. How confident was he to order all those men to go into a confined building? He didn’t even check if there were other entrances or sewerage exits.
Only one person returned out of a group of a dozen.
Although his boss was angry, he didn’t blame him as he provided the clue. He took Lu Renjia and the other captain’s woman and distributed all their assets to other subordinates.
It was a form of discipline, but also an incentive. For the bandits like Huizhong Mercenaries, they needed this type of brutality to bond together.
So, this dog like ”thing” was given to Zhou Guoping. Although this boss didn’t punish him, he did remove him from the easy job of staying in the Sixth Street and made him rob survivors.
It was harder to capture a survivor on the wasteland than a mutant rat. Most of the people that survived till now were as sharp as a knife edge. The dumb ones were the people that never left the camps. Their return for this month was almost zero.
Pilot? That’s a big fish
Zhou Guoping put the rifle on his shoulder and led his men to the camp.
