Apocalypse Meltdown Chapter 92

The dark corridors were rid of voices; the only thing that sounded out was the sound of footsteps. Just as what its appearance suggests, this factory was abandoned, its silent atmosphere reeking of danger.

Chu Han was walking in front of his group with flashlight in hand. Lou Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiuti were at the middle while Chen Shaoye stayed at the back. The entire place was so silent that Chen Shaoye`s ragged breathing could clearly be heard. He looked like he just finished a marathon.

The light coming from the flashlight laid bare the sloppy floor with dark blood and rotten meat and parts scattered around. There were dark blood and mangled parts everywhere.

Occasionally, one to two zombies rushed out from the corners. But they were killed by Chu Han, adding more blood and rotten meat to the place. The place looked just like hell.

The entire place created a very scenic picture; the sound of footsteps waking up zombies and then zombies getting killed and then the light coming from the flash light, they all added to the mystique of the place. It continued on and on and on.

Chen Shaoye swallowed his saliva, his heavy breathing showing how cowardly he was. He always seemed to get spooked by everything that happens.

Puff!

Two zombies died after being hit by Chu Han`s axe. Dark blood splattered onto the wall, creating a somewhat complicated pattern. Chen Shaoye`s breathing became more ragged and he continued to become more soaked in sweat every time Chu Han killed a zombie. The gun he was holding on was shaking. His eyes kept on looking around while his heartbeat seemed to actually sound louder than their footsteps.

The path did not seem to have an end. They kept on going, not counting the time they had already spent.

"So crazy!" Lou Xiaoxiao’s voice that sounded like a bell suddenly filled the place.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Chen Shaoye was shocked by her sudden outburst that he almost fell to the ground.

Chen Shaoye was being so loud that Shang Jiuti and Chu Han turned towards him, casting condescending eyes.

"Fatty Chen, just go and stop being so scared. You breathe like a pig." Luo Xiaoxiao turned back and shouted at Chen Shaoye, "How dare you spit at me?!"

Lou Xiaoxiao’s curses seemed to help in alleviating Chen Shaoye`s fear. The almost mechanically silent people he was with made him feel like he had come to another dimension and that he was stuck in an eternal cycle, never to escape. Looking upfront, he found an open door. They finally came to the end of the almost never ending corridors.

Chen Shaoye wiped his sweat and said slowly, "I did not spit at you. It was sweat"

"Shit!" Luo Xiaoxiao did not let him go, "You clearly spit at me! I clearly felt it!"

Lou Xiaoxiao then wiped his back with his hands as she then showed it to Chen Shaoye, "Look! That`s a lot of water! How could that be sweat?"

"Hey! Hey! I am so sorry. Maybe I didn`t know that I had spit at you." Chen Shaoye then moved his hand to his head and then he suddenly stopped. He widely opened his eyes, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"What the fuck are you shouting for?" Luo Xiaoxiao shouted and then she also shouted, "Ah!"

"What happened?" Shang Jiuti came to her, her voice full of confusion.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Ah!"

Chen Shaoye and Luo Xiaoxiao ignored her. They just kept shouting very loudly. They screamed until their tympanic membranes1 seemed to be broken.

"What happened? What happened? Tell me!" Shang Jiuti was so confused.

"Blood! Blood!" Chen Shaoye said, trembling all over.

"Blood? Where?" The poor lighting did not help in letting Shang Jiuti know what it was that disturbed those two people. She hurried towards Chu Han who was still as casual as ever as she ordered him, "Chu Han, try to put the light towards that place."

Chu Han did not listen to Shang Jiuti, pointing the flashlight towards the opposite door instead, "I think you had better move towards me."

"What?" Shang Jiuti did not know how to respond to the screaming of Lou Xiaoxiao and Chen Shaoye, but her body suddenly trembled as an extreme sense of fear overcame her when she looked at Chu Han`s eyes.

His deep pupils now held a very oppressive feeling; an unbelievable amount of murderous aura could be seen deep in his eyes!

She seldom saw Chu Han with those eyes. What actually happened? Was there something wrong?

What happened?

Chu Han slowly put his axe down as it glinted with an intense coldness due to the light coming from the flashlight being reflected by its sharp edges. He passed the flashlight to her as his calm voice sounded out, "Don’t look back and move towards here."

Shang Jiuti narrowed her eyes as she hugged the scared Lou Xiaoxiao. She then kicked Chen Shaoye`s back. It was a very powerful kick, able to even move the two hundred kilo fatty towards the door. Shang Jiuti then rushed forward like a bullet. She caught the flashlight Chu Han threw at her.

On the next moment, Chen Shaoye, Lou Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiuti was at the door as Shang Jiuti used to flashlight to light the place they had been on, displaying the path they had took.

Tick. Tick.

Dripping sounds ceaselessly pervaded the silent place.

Shang Jiuti then pointed the flashlight upwards. Fresh blood dripped from above. Scarlet blood. It was fresh human blood. A human?

The three people on the door paled. Their eyes then focused on Chu Han who was in front. His back gave off an aura of toughness and protection as he held onto his axe.

Kaka.

The sounds of teeth gnashing came from above. It ceaselessly sounded out, breaking the trio`s trance. They could hear the zombies, but they could not see them.

Blood still dripped from above.

Chu Han slowly moved his axe as he quietly stood on the same place. Killing intent was then released as his eyes flashed with the savagery of the apocalypse. He then puffed out a mouthful of air!

Shua!

Without prediction, he waved his huge axe.

Puff--

Liquid blood sprayed out all over the place.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Sounds of bones breaking echoed out before it was then replaced with an eerie silence!

A huge body appeared three meters away from Chu Han.

It was a zombie wearing a dark blue uniform. It seemed to be one of the refinery`s workers. His left arm broke from Chu Han`s blows.

Contrary to the zombies they had fought before, the zombie`s broken arm was not rotten.

Chu Han tightly held onto his axe as his expression turned ferocious. He focused his eyes on the zombie`s broken arm. A torn piece of cloth was there.
