Apocalypse Meltdown Chapter 70

"Zombie tide?!" Cheng Xianguo was instinctively scared and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean there is going to be a zombie tide?"

"A zombie group had gathered for some reason and they would move to a place with a lot of people." Shang Jiuti suddenly said to answer the question.

She did not know that these three people already had some loyalty towards Chu Han and she just wanted to keep the secret that zombies had thermal induction, which she subconsciously did to protect Chu Han. She did not know why Chu Han knew so much about zombies nor did she want to inquire about it. It was not to her knowledge that she had betrayed something and started to take Chu Han into consideration.

Chu Han surprisingly looked at her and thought so much. He could not figure out the meaning behind Shang Jiuti`s words; but he thought it was strange for her to say that since she was an erratic woman.

"A tide of zombies?!" Cheng Xianguo and his group widely opened their eyes.

"Where? Where are they?" Yue Zi swallowed his saliva and said tensely with a weird smile, "Are they heading towards here?"

Chu Han flitted his eyes, "I`m sorry. They`re coming here."

Chu Han’s words invoked dead silence from the people inside.

Xianguo Base was in an embarrassing position. They chose this place because it had a large area. Not all districts had a huge area that could be used for farming. The district felt like the ones before the apocalypse and it brought a familiar feeling to the people. Not everyone wanted to give up such environment.

However, the degree of danger would be out of the ordinary when there would be a tide of zombies. It would be hard to defend such a large place.

Ye Chen slightly lifted his glasses up and said coldly,"How many?"

None of them doubted Chu Han, but they had to think of a solution.

"Five thousand, ten thousand maybe? "Chu Han said calmly, "I don’t know the exact number since I was not able to closely observe it. But there should be more than that number, not any less!"

Chu Han`s words greatly shocked the people in that room. There would be thousands of zombies!

There were only a thousand people here and half of them were the elderly, women and children. The people who could fight against zombies were less and their fighting power was limited. They were not as strong as Chu Han and it would already be good if one person could fight against three zombies at the same time. Besides, they did not have enough bullets and guns to kill that many zombies.

There could only be death.

"Impossible. There shouldn`t be that many!" Yue Zi was shaking, "I don’t believe it. How could there be so many zombies? A hundred zombies was the most we came into when we got out."

Chu Han did not explain so much but to prove his claims by providing already proven data, "80% of the population has become zombies. Tong City has a population of 3 million people. Think about it"

Silence---

Yue Zi stopped shouting. He knew that what Chu Han said was true. Reality was so terrible and it was entirely possible to have that many zombies based on that data!

"We must leave!" Cheng Xianguo was sweating profusely, "All people must leave this place!"

"Impossible!" Ye Chen was also sweating, a tad different than what he usually does. He was pacing back and forth inside the house, like an ant inside a hot pot. He tensely said in a panicked voice, "Most of those people in the base have been saved by us and they haven`t fought against zombies directly. They would not believe such things for the days are getting better and better for them here. It is impossible to move all of them!"

"We forgot to tell you another thing." Bai Yuner said suddenly. She looked at Chu Han strangely and her cold voice was like a basin of cold water that was splashed on Chen Xianguo, Yue Zi, and Ye Chen. They were so scared. "It is useless to move since zombies have a natural sense and they will move towards the place that has so many people. It would become even greater if there would be a lot of people. It is useless to move."

Bai Yuner looked at Chu Han directly after speaking and her smile was so scary.

Chu Han was perplexed. As far as he was concerned, Bai Yuner should not know about the ability of zombies to sense the heat produced by humans.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Yue Zi squatted on the ground, hugging his head. He was totally at a loss and then he suddenly stood up. He said towards Chu Han, "You just mentioned that you have not observed closely, so you have seen them at some place. Where? How long? How long would it take for them to come here?"

Yue Zi’s words dragged Chu Han back from his thoughts. His eyes moved from Bai Yuner towards Cheng Xianguo and his group, "In two day’s time, more or less. They were on the opposite side of the bridge when I last saw them and they were blocking the exit."

If the first two sentences were very scary for them, then the last sentence "blocking the exit" was the greatest blow to them.

They had no chances of escape.

"Do, do you have a solution?" Cheng Xianguo deeply looked towards Chu Han. He did not know why he asked that question. Chu Han was only a 23 year old college student who was just stronger than most people; but it was impossible for him to have a solution for fighting against zombies that greatly outnumbers them.

Ye Chen adjusted his glasses and his eyes looked towards Chen Shaoye and Luo Xiaoxiao sitting on the ground. They were playing cards after eating. These two huge eaters did not care about the incoming danger. Were they that assured they would survive or were they just going to surrender themselves to fate?

"Do you have any solution?" Cheng Xianguo heavily said as he asked Chu Han again.

Cheng Xianguo`s tone was becoming tenser and tenser asking those questions. Everyone looked towards Chu Han. Yue Zi and Ye Chen slightly raised their eyes full of expectation, but they were already feeling desperate. They were waiting for Chu Han`s answer but they were also preparing to give up.

"Yes." Chu Han’s voice was calm.

"It doesn’t matter. It`s not a big deal. We can sacrifice. Ah! Ah! Ah! What? What? What?" Yue Zi’s words suddenly changed. Did he hear it correctly? Chu Han actually said yes?

He had a solution?!

Ye Chen’s glasses became slanted without him noticing due to his facial muscles moving so much. Cheng Xianguo pushed Chu Han`s shoulders excutedly, "You have a solution? You really have a solution? What is it? Just spit it out! We are going to do what you are going to say!"

Chu Han curved his mouth. This huge tide of zombies was enough to scare everyone and make them move and leave this place because they had no experience dealing with it. The people in his previous incarnation died because of their ignorance.

But it was different now, because he was here.
