Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 248: Emotional Outburst



Chu Han looked at Wu Fan bowing in respect, and he was dazed. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you." 

Chu Han was not arrogant or excited. Since Wu Fan showed his appreciation, he could only accept it. Chu Han did not care whether he would help him or not. They were in a period of crisis and hardships so he would not force him to abide by his words.

Noticing Chu Han's calm demeanor, Wu Fan respected him even more. He had met stronger people, but it was the first time he had seen one with tolerance. It was a pity that he had sworn to only follow the current leader after the latter had saved him. Otherwise, he would follow Chu Han without a second thought. Sometimes, a person's charm was too powerful to resist.

Chu Han ignored Wu Fan's admiration and sighs and turned around to look at the survivors. He asked in a loud enough tone that they could hear it, "Who's from Anluo?'

Although his chances to find someone that had met his parents were slim, Chu Han had to at least try.

The survivors were embarrassed, but then many people started speaking up.

"I am from Anluo."

"Me too."

"Most of us are from Anluo."

"Yes. Yes. There is only one city nearby, Anluo."

Listening to the multiple answers, Chu Han had no time to ask the survivors one by one, so he just asked directly, "Has anyone ever met a couple going by the names, Chu Yuntian and Yuan Xiye?"

Chu Yuntian and Yuan Xiye were his parents' names. His father's name was arrogant, while his mother's was meaningful. Chu Han's name was very common. However, the parents with such excellent names were ordinary workers before the apocalypse.

Wangcai was surprised when it heard the names of Chu Han's parents from within the pocket. It couldn't help but ask, "Your grandparents were very good at naming, but why does it seem that your name was picked up from the trash?"

Chu Han ignored Wangcai, and he kept looking at the survivors.contemporary romance

Zhou Zhu, who was staring at Chu Han gloomily, was depressed. He also had a son, about the same age as Chu Han. The two fellows had a great time in their childhood. Chu Han had been accepted into a college, even though it was an average one, while Zhou Zhu's son had turned into a hoodlum. He had joined a gang, and he was of the lowest rank, which was even more shameful.

To make things worse, his son had abandoned him and escaped from the city with the military after the catastrophe. That disgrace of a son had no intention of finding him, not to mention returning for his sake.

However, what about Chu Han? He was a naughty boy but not only had he been accepted to Mingqiu College, but he had also returned to find his parents!

It sounded ridiculous, but it made Zhou Zhu jealous!

It was not a trip one could make by taking a plane or train like in civilized times. It was unimaginable! It was a long distance between Mingqiu and Anluo. Zhou Zhu knew how difficult and dangerous it was to cross such a distance. By a lucky fluke, he was able to reach this village. The notion of returning to Anluo on his own? It was just a dream. 

However, Chu Han proved him wrong. He was about to reach Anluo within three months after the catastrophe, and he showed up in the village domineeringly as a phase-2 evolutionary. If that were not enough, his name had spread everywhere thanks to the ranking list.

'Sh*t!' Zhuo Zhu became angrier. Why was Chu Han an evolutionary and why could the honest Chu Yuntian have such a good son?!

Fu Jialiang eyes' flashed. Chu Yuntian, Yuan Xiye? Although he had not met those two, they seemed to be very important to him. Otherwise, he would not have asked for them. Chu Han had ignored the military to find his parents, while the military had been searching for him ceaselessly.

He had to torture Chu Han's parents if he ever met them. He would not make Chu Han happy.

"I know them." Suddenly, a tall young man walked out of the crowd. He was Luo Zhehao, and there was a bow in his back. He was a phase-1 evolutionary adept in archery. Meanwhile, he was the one who crafted that bow, and it was hard to pull its string if one was not powerful enough.

Chu Han's eyes narrowed, and his emotional state changed. He tried hard to suppress his anxiousness and asked, "Where are they?"

Luo Zhehao shook his head. The young man admired strong people, so he said politely, "I'm sorry. I met them two months ago. Everyone in Anluo was in a panic, and I was surrounded by zombies when I went out to search for food. It was Uncle Chu who dragged me into his house. Aunt Yuan cooked me great meals. I'm in their debt."

Chu Han was astonished. Two months ago… one month after the outburst…? So they…

"I lived in Uncle Chu's house for a week. I am powerful, so I had taken charge of finding food. Uncle and Aunt took care of me every day. However, when the last troops were going to abandon the city, I decided to leave with them. I urged them to leave with me, but they refused."

Luo Zhehao looked at Chu Han and sighed, "Before the catastrophe, their son had called them to say that he'd return and that they must wait for him at home…"

Waited for him at home!

Listening to Luo Zhehao, Chu Han's body trembled and his eyes reddened. He felt like a hand was squeezing his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

His parents had given up on their chance to leave the city with the military so that they could wait for him to come back!

"Chu Han! Don't forget about the Meltdown fragment in the dimensional space!" Wangcai hurried to say as it felt Chu Han's unstable emotional state.

It continued before Chu Han could reject it, "You're a phase-2 evolutionary now, and you can't evolve. Do you want to go to Anluo City with the power of a phase-2? I don't know about the city, but all I know is that zombies have it surrounded. There are countless phase-1 and phase-2 ones. And don't forget that phase-3 have made their appearance. You even met one at the ferry."
