Chu Han ran so fast that the floor caved in from the pressure he exerted. As he was running, another loud sound came from the ferry's lower level. He immediately changed direction and ran down some stairs. He was worried that another zombie had snuck in the ferry while they were fighting earlier.
Li Yi was trying to keep up with Chu Han, but he was left behind. What happened today was unimaginable, and Zhan Guangyuan, who had stayed at the ferry for the longest time, almost had a mental breakdown. All this time he was on the ferry it was really peaceful. But why were the last few days filled in danger!?
Chu Han arrived at the lower floor, but he didn't stop, and he rushed into the room from where the loud sounds were coming from. At the same time, a glint of coldness flashed through his eyes as the sounds were coming from the engine room!
How could a damn zombie have run to that place? They wouldn't be able to reach the shore if the engine was destroyed.
He accelerated, reaching his peak speed while brandishing the Shura axe in his hand. He was itching to slap the zombie with the axe's broad side.
However when he arrived-
His killing intent was replaced with surprise!
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
The loud sounds didn't come from a zombie wrecking havoc in the engine room, or from a concealed enemy. The culprit was someone who was missing from the group- Ying Xiaoqin!
Presently, Ying Xiaoqin was as striking madly at the engine with a fire axe! She looked really ferocious with every strike she landed on the engine, leaving behind loud sounds. She was biting her lips so tightly that a little river of blood was dripping off her face.
Chu Han snapped out of his daze, and he put down the Shura axe. He frowned, but he stayed aside.
He seemed to understand why Ying Xiaoqin became mad. She had been living with her boyfriend for eight years, and they had suffered a lot the last three months. Tu Chenglong was what was keeping the frenzied lady together, but when he turned into a zombie, it was the same as her whole world falling apart. The shock, mixed with the unbearable sadness that must have taken over her, lead her to that state.
She may have become insane, or just didn't want to face reality.
Several steps came from the corridor, and soon, Li Yi appeared with the others. They all had the same reaction as Chu Han. They were dazed, but they soon reacted differently from one another.
Zhou Chunlei was the first one to shout, "Ying Xiaoqin! Are you crazy,?"
"Stop!" Wang Shixiong grabbed the fire axe from Ying Xiaoqin's hands.
Zhou Chunlei and Zhan Guagnyuan restrained the mad girl. Ying Xiaoqin was an ordinary girl, and knew nothing about martial arts, so the two men stopped her easily.
"Let me go!" Ying Xiaoqin shouted madly, and her hair looked like a mad lioness', "Let me go!"
"Do you know what you are doing?" Wang Shixiong yelled at the girl strictly, "Do you want to sink the ship? We will die!"
"Die?" Ying Xiaoqin stopped struggling, and she stared at them with cold eyes. She said coldly, "You should all die! Since Tu Chenglong turned into a zombie, I no longer want to live! Let's go and accompany him! Why did he become a zombie? Why!? Tell me!"
"Ying Xiaoqin," Wei An was heartbroken seeing her like that, and she tried to persuade her, "We also feel sorry, but nobody can be blamed for it."
"Bullsh*t!" Ying Xiaoqin interrupted her and then stared at Chu Han gloomily, "It is you! He wouldn't have turned into a zombie if you hadn't said something like that. How could he be infected?! Li Yi should be the infected one! It's all your fault! You, devil!"
Ying Xiaoqin's words shocked them. The girl put the blame on Chu Han!? She had no way to ventilate, and Chu Han met the requirements.
"Ying Xiaoqin!" Wei An looked at her fiercely, "Chu Han did nothing wrong. It's not Chu Han's fault! Wake up!"
The quiet and low-key girl was angry with those accusations! She couldn't bear her friend blaming Chu Han, their benefactor and savior, so she defended him.
Chu Han was surprised by Wei An's valiant spirit, but he stood there and remained silent. Unlike the others who were berating Ying Xiaoqin and trying to bring back to her senses, Chu Han did nothing of the sort and just let her curse at him.
Noticing Chu Han's stance, the others stopped and remained silent. Suddenly, only Ying Xiaoqin's curses could be heard. She cursed nonstop for five minutes until her voice became hoarse and could no longer continue. Although she stopped struggling, she still looked crazy.
"Let her go," Chu Han slightly said to Zhou Chunlei and Zhan Guangyuan who were restraining her.
The two men immediately loosened their grips on her as they knew he could harm Chu Han with her ability, but they remained beside her just in case.
"We've known each other for eight years!" Ying Xiaoqin sat on the ground suddenly, and tears surged out from her eyes. She continued while crying, "We were going to get married! Woo!"
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
Ying Xiaoqin hammed the ground with her fist, ignoring that it started bleeding, "Why? Why?!"
Looking at Ying Xiaoqin's pitiful state, everyone felt their hearts tightening from sadness. At the same time, they admired Chu Han even more as he let the poor girl lash out against him, even though he had done nothing wrong.
Chu Han felt sympathetic toward her. He experienced the feeling of having nothing left and the world collapsing under his feet. She had no way to ventilate so the one who pointed out Tu Chenglong's infection became the person she hated most. At that moment, Ying Xiaoqin was not rational.
The others stayed quiet. They did not know what to say, so only Ying Xiaoqin's intense wailing could be heard.
When they were at a loss, Chu Han said suddenly, "The one you should hate, is it me, or the zombie which infected Tu Chenglong?"
Ying Xiaoqin stopped crying suddenly. Her pupils narrowed, but she said nothing.
"If it's me," Chu Han stepped forward, "I'll be waiting for you to become strong enough to kill me and avenge your beloved. However, this is near impossible."
"If it's the zombies and this f*cking apocalypse," Chu Han's voice became louder, sounding like he was yelling, "Then, become strong enough and slaughter every zombie you meet! The moment you see them, kill them! Cut their heads and let them become fertilizers! Spare none of them!"
