Apocalypse Meltdown Chapter 73

Clean the garbage or he would not be able to stay at the base?

Mockery flashed across Chu Han`s face. He just ignored Cheng Zehao. It was truly a pity that Cheng Xianguo who was so powerful and had 50% loyalty towards him had such a younger brother like Cheng Zehao.

"Stay there! Did I let you go? Do you really think I would not shoot you?" Cheng Zehao shouted, his anger invoked by Chu Han`s cold and indifferent attitude towards him. He raised the gun up. Cheng Xianguo was now absent so he no one could stop him from killing Chu Han.

Bang--

A gunshot rang without warning.

Even with the sound of a gunshot, Chu Han seemed oblivious of what was happening. He walked ahead at the same pace he was walking.

"Fuck you! How dare you aim your gun towards my boss?!" Chen Shaoye`s angry voice reverberated throughout the place.

White smoke trailed near Cheng Zehao`s feet, the bullet nearly hitting him! Cheng Zehao was quivering as he dropped the gun.

Chu Han`s calm expression shocked the people unloading the goods at the gate. Cheng Zehao would have shot him since Cheng Xianguo was not there. How could he not be scared?

Zhi---

Suddenly, a pick-up stopped in front of the mass of people. A sweaty Cheng Xianguo went out of the vehicle and asked the people in the pick-up to unload the goods in high spirits, "Quick! Unload it! We are going out tonight!"

Suddenly, he stopped midway seeing Cheng Zehao with a gun on the ground. Cheng Xianguo subconsciously frowned, "What’s wrong?"

"Brother!" Cheng Zehao shouted and there was clear anger in his tone, "How could you let others shoot at me? Look at what kind of people you have brought into the base. They almost killed me!"

Cheng Xianguo tightly frowned as he glanced towards Chen Shaoye. Chu Han’s shadow was now far away and Chen Shaoye did not want to go there. He was just covering Chu Han.

Chen Shaoye actually covered Chu Han? What was the reason? The thing that made Chen Shaoye most apprehensive about was the people in the base that posed a threat towards Chu Han and his team, since there were no zombies at the base.

Cheng Xianguo was a veteran so he was able to judge the situation, therefore knowing that Cheng Zehao was lying.

"Stop shouting!" Ye Chen who witnessed the entire event unfold ran towards the gate. It had already escalated quickly before he was able to placate the situation. Ye Chen adjusted his glasses as he then quickly gave staff assignments, "You people should help in unloading the goods while you, Cheng Zehao, must stay at your room."

He arranged it like that to calm the situation. Cheng Zehao was the younger brother of his good friend while Chu Han`s group was absurdly powerful. He was having a headache how to assign them.

Ye Chen did not mention Chu Han, nor did he reprimand Chen Shaoye for firing a warning shot towards Cheng Zehao. Instead, he asked Cheng Zehao to stay in his room. Ye Chen was the calmest person Cheng Xianguo had ever met so there must be a good reason for such arrangement. He was able to deduce that it must have been Cheng Zehao`s fault, after all. "What have you done?!" Cheng Xianguo angrily rebuked Cheng Zehao.

"What have I done??? Did you just ask me what I have done?" Cheng Zehao replied with unbelieving eyes, "Do you still think of me as your younger brother? Have you been brain washed by others? I was almost cut into pieces yesterday. You didn`t fight for me. I was almost shot today yet you actually rebuked me!"

Cheng Xianguo bent down as he struggled to get into a decision. Guild then consumed him suddenly. He raised Cheng Zehao up. "And you!" Cheng Zehao looked towards Ye Chen, "You are just a servitor yet you dare to command me? You want me to stay at my room, you want to imprison me? How dare you work with people from outside? Say! Are you planning a conspiracy together with Chu Han?!"

"Servitor? Conspiracy?" Ye Chen looked towards the strange yet familiar young person. He grew up with Cheng Xianguo and thus, he too treated Cheng Zehao as his younger brother. But now the young man said something like that?

Cheng Zehao moved and kicked one of the boxes on the ground.

Bang! The force was able to topple over the box, the items inside scattering onto the ground.

"Look at these!" Cheng Zehao cursed. "Are you f**cking people idiots? You brought these items? Are you crazy? Are they useful in apocalypse? A prostitute is more useful than these!"

The items inside the boxes Cheng Zehao kicked sprawled out into the ground. It was boxes and boxes of smart phones. They were scattered around. The smooth screen now bore scratch marks from skidding into the ground.

Bang!

Cheng Zehao kicked off another box and the things within the box were turned over. There were laptops inside.

The six hours darkness during the first day of apocalypse turned these items into useless merchandise. Everyone knew that phones and laptops could no longer be used. Even people who were good at these devices did not know the reason. But it was confirmed that these items were now useless.

"Mobile phones?! Laptops?! Brother, are you crazy?!" Cheng Zehao madly apprehended those people, thinking he was right. "These things are useless! Yet Chu Han asked the people in this base to collect them for him. A lot of people were even tasked for this job. Only fools would do such a thing!"

Cheng Zehao’s word stabbed Cheng Xianguo’s heart. Crazy? How could he say those words towards him who had pampered him all his life?

The people in the base who were tending to the vegetables and fruits came back in dirty clothes, including the students from Minqiu University. They looked towards the things that were sprawled on the ground with open eyes. Disappointed and mean eyes were cast towards Cheng Zehao.

"We work ward everyday to plant vegetables and fruits and feed the pigs yet you guys actually brought these items back?"

"We need food, not these useless things!"

"Laptops and phones are useless!"

"Big Boss, you`ve disappointed us!"

"Why do you believe in Chu Han? Why do you do everything he asks you to do?"

"Second Boss is correct. Chu Han is a fool with well-developed limbs and a retarded mind. Just throw them away!"

"What a pity! These are useless items!"

Duan Ming was in the group and he suddenly became excited. Ha! Ha! Ha! That fool Chu Han actually asked these people to collect these things? It was so great! He should be expelled from this base. No, he should carry these things with him and eat it!

Ding Xue also did her share of the job as he was also confused to what these things were intended for. What did Chu Han want to do?
