Apocalypse Meltdown Chapter 224

The huge ferry's passengers were only four now. They got rid of the bodies and cleaned the hellish room, and now, the ferry seemed empty and quiet. However, the four people were happily gathered in the ferry's kitchen.

"Come on! We should have another cup to celebrate that we're still alive!" Zhou Chunlei, who was less than 20 years old, had an outgoing and enthusiastic personality. He couldn't even contain his excitement when Zhan Guangyuan led them to the kitchen. Although the food wouldn't last them for more than three days, he was still excited as he hadn't eaten for a lot of days.

Zhan Guangyuan passed a cup of wine to Chu Han. "I'll do it first."

Chu Han wanted to lift the cup of wine to make a toast, but Zhan Guangyuan took it and drank it!

"There's not much wine, and you should drink less," Zhan Guangyuan, who wasn't laughing since the start, finally revealed his relaxed side and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere Zhou Chunlei had created.

"Hahaha!" Wang Shixiong laughed. "Being young sure is fun!"

A rare smile formed on Chu Han's face. Surviving was indeed a good reason to celebrate. 

Wangcai had long abandoned Chu Han's pocket, and it had hidden in the refrigerator to devour the preserved meat.

Who had said that rabbits shouldn't eat rabbits? Sh*t! Meat was better.

That night was the best Wang Shixiong, and Zhou Chunlei ever had. The happiness they had fantasized about had come true in the ferry. They even decided to spend their lives on the ferry.

Unfortunately, the next morning was not that good. The bloody sun was hidden, and the dark sky looked dull. 

Zhan Guangyuan was busy on the deck since early in the morning, until he threw he huge the net, he had been working on, past the railing.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Chunlei saw that and rushed out. Wang Shixiong was very excited.

"It's natural that you don't know what's going to happen since you've stayed only for a day," Zhan Guangyuan panted heavily and explained excitedly. "A storm is approaching. We'll be able to catch a lot of fish, so we won't starve to death!"

When Zhan Guanyuan finished-

A clap of thunder appeared in the sky, and a deafening noise followed! After that, the sky became gloomier, and it got windy too.

Zhou Chunlei and Wang Shixiong were shocked. The thunder hit close, and that meant that the storm would be a strong one!

"Come and help!" Zhan Guangyuan, who was used to it, shouted.

The three of them worked hard to drag the net out and to wait for fish. One thunder after the other struck and their sound reverberated through the air. Suddenly, the stormy winds stopped, but huge waves took their place.

Chu Han got to the deck and witnessed the huge ferry shaking violently while the huge waves submerged a part of it, but didn't sink it. Rain and wind intensified again, and it became hard to see the gloomy sky. 

The change in Earth's magnetic field had even affected natural phenomena! After the apocalypse, even a five-minute rain could cause a disaster; it was no longer the same as in civilized times! Every time flash floods hit, or the weather was stormy, they'd be stronger than the previous one and lots of people would get wounded. At that time, the rainstorms' scale could be considered small, but in the later years, they were horrifying.

"Chu Han, it's a downpour!" Wangcai was both scared and excited.

Chu Han ignored Wangcai and looked at three people fighting the rainstorm.

"Brother Chu Han?" Zhou Chunlei was the first one to notice Chu Han's arrival.

The crazy wind made the ship swing from right to left and vice versa at an alarming rate.

Wang Shixiong could not help being scared and said, "The wind is strong! Will the ship sink?"

"No!" Zhan Guangyuan was sturdier than the other two, "I've faced such a storm before! The ship can handle it!"

Chu Han didn't care about the crazy wind as he knew it couldn't make the ship sink. What he was interested in was the net. The three of them were smart and knew that they could catch fish, but the fish…

'Boom!'

A wave crashed against the ship and suspended it. The three people felt like they had lost their standing and their heart started beating fast! They quickly regained their footing, but then-

Countless fish jumped in the air and then fell back to the water! The fish were larger than ordinary ones, and Chu Han even saw their sharp teeth the moment they jumped.

"So many fish?!" Zhou Chunlei shouted excited, and he dragged the net under the rainstorm.

"Push!" Wang Shixiong hurried to help excitedly, "This fish is so large!"

Zhou Chunlei and Wang Shixiong were so excited to cooperate, "Look at that! That fish is about a meter long! But isn't this species living in fresh water? How could it be so big!?"

Chu Han could not help but curse in his mind, "Weren't you eager to catch fish? Luckily, you're in a river and not a sea! What lives in the sea is far more terrifying!"

Zhan Yuanguang was very confident looking at the fish, "Be careful, and I'll cook the fish for dinner!"

You should be careful, and I will do the dinner of fishes!"

Three people worked so hard to drag the net that their necks had turned red. The net had caught so many fish that they couldn't pull it back.

"Sh*t!" Zhan Guanyuan was scared, "We can't drag it up!"

"God! There are so many fish in the net!" Wang Shixiong exclaimed.

"Why are the fish so powerful?" Zhou Chunlei was scared to drag the net, "We can only cut the net! There are too many fish!"

Cut the net? They were unwilling to let their food go away!

At this moment, Chu Han approached them and looked at the huge net dragging the ferry with it. If they didn't pull the net back or cut it, the ship would sink.

"Let me do it." Chu Han grabbed the net, and his strength reached its peak.

'Bomb!'

'Splash!'

A loud noise came from the water as the net was being dragged. The dense fish trapped in the net were struggling!

The other three were immediately shocked! Three people were unable to drag the heavy net, but Chu Han did it all alone!?

Without retreating a single step, Chu Han threw the huge net on the deck. Some of the fish became dizzy from the impact, while other tried hard to jump back in the water. 

Wangcai was the most excited and jumped from the pocket. It dashed to the fish with glittering eyes. Its size was the same as a ping-pong ball's, but the others were unable to see it.

Unfortunately, as it was rushing, it felt intense pain!

"Oh!" Wangcai cried out loud, "My ass!"
