Apocalypse Meltdown

When the crowd head Chu Han's question, they all looked down intriguingly.

Wu Fan snapped out of his shocked state and swallowed hard. When he looked at Chu Han, he felt like a weakling, especially when he recalled Chu Han's words, 'I don't need to know the loser's name.' 

At this moment, Wu Fan suddenly realized Chu Han's attitude and innermost feelings when he said that. He had already determined that he would be the winner and that he hadn't treated Wu Fan as a dangerous opponent.

Chu Han didn't care about one's name, level, and ranking. He didn't care about weaker people than him, especially if it were a stranger. In front of him, not only Wu Fan but also the surrounding people, nobody deserved his attention.

Looking at Chu Han, who was standing leisurely, but still emitting a dominant aura, Wu Fan replied, "I- I can't answer that."

The crowd kept looking at the ground as they were afraid of being asked. Should they tell him or not? No matter if they told him or not, they all thought that their chances to keep their lives were too low. Chu Han would kill them if they didn't tell him, of the leader because they betrayed him. Would Chu Han let them go if they didn't tell him?

As for Wu Fan, he was the second strongest in the base and the leader's closest friend. The leader had given him so many things, so it was not surprising that he would not betray him.

While the crowd was on edge waiting for Chu Han's question, the latter said something that confused them and almost fried their brains.

"Oh, forget it," Chu Han said.

Everyone, especially the evolutionaries, was slack-jawed! They all lifted their heads and stared at Chu Han in bewilderment.

Forget it?

Shouldn't he have said something along the lines of, 'I will kill you if you don't tell me!'

"You don't want to know?" Wu Fan staggered.

"Nope." Chu Han nodded casually, and his eyes were swept through the crowd. Then he continued with a casual tone, "Your leader has nothing to do with me."

Chu Han told the truth. He didn't plan to stay the night. The base's leader and his power meant nothing to him since his parents were not there.

The crowd almost dislocated their jaws from shock. Wu Fan was surprised and confused. Chu Han not only disregarded him but even their strongest fighter, the leader!?

Fu Jialiang and Zhou Zhu were dazed, and then they became excited. Chu Han didn't care about their leader, so he'd surely die when the leader returned.

The morbid expectation flashed past Fu Jialiang and Zhou Zhu's eyes. They were jealous and unsatisfied with Chu Han, but now, they were overjoyed. It was only a matter of time until Chu Han was dead.

"You? You won't kill me?" Wu Fan asked subconsciously and immediately regretted it. Chu Han had spared his life but what if he changed his mind because he made an unnecessary question? 

The crowd became nervous as they thought there was something wrong with Wu Fan's brain. How could he ask something so stupid?

"No," Chu Han answer came as a surprise.

Chu Had didn't want to kill Wu Fan. He had done nothing harmful to him and posed no threat to his life. Wu Fan was already scared and wounded. Besides, he hadn't harmed his friend and relatives, nor cursed and mocked him. Not to mention that he was loyal to his leader. That man would achieve great thing if he didn't stray from the right path.

Chu Han would rather prefer to kill Zhou Zou than Wu Fan. However, he hadn't a reason to kill him. Even though he lied to him, he spared him for the sake of their old friendship.

Wu Fan's surprise could not be described with words. He had been prepared to be killed. It was hard for losers to keep their lives. That twisted mindset took root after the apocalypse. It was rare for evolutionaries to spare their opponents' lives, especially if they lived in the same base. It would be dangerous if they let their opponents live.

While Chu Han's answer to Wu Fan's question was surprising, it also refreshed the survivors' mindset.

Everyone seemed as if they had eaten sh*t. They were suffering so much that they wanted to hit their heads against a wall on a daily basis. However, Chu Han, a powerful individual, had a unique mindset, which made him stand out from the others.

He was different from any other evolutionary!

Wu Fan looked down expressionlessly. After staying silent for a while, he stood up and bowed to Chu Han respectfully. Then he said with sincerity, "Thank you for not killing me. If you are ever in trouble, I will be the first one to come and help you!"

Everyone was astonished!

It was the first time they had ever seen Wu Fan being sincere with someone else other than their leader. Who was Wu Fan? A phase-3 evolutionary and the vice-leader! The one with the superior position respected and appreciated Chu Han?

Zhou Zhu and Fu Jialiang's lit up, and they started scheming immediately. They both thought that if they snitched Wu Fan's actions to the leader, they would be rewarded and may even replace him. Wu Fan, who was the leader's right hand, had actually shown respect to an outsider, who messed up the base. It was like slapping the leader's face.

Wu Fan had to die for that.

The two schemers were filled with wicked ideas and wild ambitions. At the same time, their eyes contained traces of mockery and satire.

'Chu Han, the leader is not a merciful person. Don't be so proud of defeating Wu Fan. Even that famous phase-3 evolutionary in the ranking list is not the leader's match,' they both thought.

Although they all lived in the base, none other than Wu Fan knew the leader's name or how he looked. They knew neither if he was a famous persona in the ranking list nor his phase.

He was a leader riddled with mystery.
