Chapter 278: What Happened?
The military had taken his parents!?
Chu Han jumped and rushed to the door, but Wangcai had already reached the door and opened it. Then, it hid behind Chu Han's foot without moving or saying anything. It was truly worried all this time, but now a tinge of hope took it over. It was really happy that Chu Han's parents may still be alive.
Behind the door was a slim young boy, about 15 years old, who looked like a refuge. He was standing before Chu Han, with bound hands and feet, while his face was so dark as if he had gone through a coal mine. His eyes were full of fear.
Li Yi was still restraining him, but he was dumbfounded. What did the boy just say!? Chu Han's parents were alive?
Wei An, as a girl, was more sensitive and notices what the boy had just said.
"You, you are Chu Han?" The young boy was shocked when he saw Chu Han and then looked at him from top to bottom. Chu Han was taller and stronger than him, and he had surely seen better days, but his face was devoid of life. And it was not that kind face one would see after the apocalypse. contemporary romance
"Who are you? Where are my parents?" Chu Han looked at the young boy who was tall to the height of his shoulder. In the boy's face was a race of worry.
"I am Zhu Mingzhi, and I used to live in the opposite building." The boy, Zhu Zhiming, looked at Chu Han fearfully and then he retreated, "I know where your parents are, follow me."
Chu Han narrowed his eyes and followed the boy without saying anything.
Li Yi, who wanted to stop the boy, was startled. Both he and Wei An were at a loss with the sudden turn of events and didn't know how to react, especially after hearing that Chu Han's parents were still alive and the boy knew where they were. Their eyes sparkled brightly when thinking that Chu Han's parents were not dead.
Zhu Mingzhi was pretty slow, and Chu Han caught up with him easily. However, Chu Han was not exhausted in the least, while Zhu Mingzhi was gasping for breath.
"We are almost there. They are at the big supermarket!" Zhu Mingzhi pointed at a damaged supermarket that seemed to be about to collapse at any time. Chu Han could even see several zombies hanging around on another road to the supermarket.
Li Yi and Wei An could not be of help, so they followed the two people silently/
Chu Han looked at the supermarket and paused when he got close to its door. His left hand touched the right arm subconsciously.
"What? Be quick!" Zhu Mingzhi was annoyed. "Your parents are here, but you don't want to see them?"
"You just say-" Chu Han did not answer the question directly, but just stared at the supermarket with implicit eyes. He said with a calm tone, "Did the military pick, my parents?"
"Yes!" Zhu Mingzhi's voice became much more impatient and hurried. Then he snarled, "I thought you were so worried so I just brought you here right away without explaining, but you dare to doubt on me? So you are not that sincere to find your parents. In your mind, your parents should be a burden, right? Chu Han, you are so bad!"
Li Yi and Wei An frowned when they heard Zhu Mingzhi's hurtful words, but Chu Han raised his hand, indicating them to stop. Then, he looked at the hostile little boy and suppressed his feelings. Chu Han raised his foot and started tapping rhythmically on the ground with his military boot.
If Shang Jiuti were there, she would have already taken a few steps back as she knew that Chu Han wanted to slaughter others when he acted like that.
Chu Han circled around Zhu Mingzhi, scanning him non-stop, and said calmly, "You truly know how I think. You're right, I think that my parents are a burden. Can you tell me now how you know them?"
Chu Han's words shocked Li YI and Wei An. They looked at the seemingly arrogant and aggressive Chu Han, with an icy expression on his face, and doubted what he just said. In their minds, it was impossible for him to utter those words. He was not that kind of person.
At that moment, Li Yi and Wei An stopped guessing and stared on Zhu Mingzhi. They both chose to believe in Chu Han wholeheartedly, and they thought that there should be something wrong with the boy.
"You are definitely heartless!" Zhu Mingzhi looked at Chu Han angrily and said disdainfully, "It seems that evolving to phase-3 made you fiercer!"
Chu Han frowned, and a sharp glint flashed through his dark eyes. How could the little boy know that he was a phase-3? Less than five people knew it.
"How do you know my parents? Why aren't you answering my question" Without any patience left, Chu Han said it directly.
"I have told you. I used to live in the building opposite yours. My parents turned into zombies with the apocalypse's escalation, and your parents adopted me right after. Uncle and aunty are such good people, but their son is so heartless!" Zhu Mingzhi cursed.
"Adopted?" Chu Han laughed loudly, "So, you have been with them for the past three months?"
"Yes!" Zhu Mingzhi said determinedly, "A troop came here three days ago and brought your parents here."
Chu Han sneered slightly and then said coldly, "Troop? Three months?"
A troop did not consist of just one soldier or two. Troops had to follow strict protocol and in no way would they use such a supermarket as their camp. They should know that such a place was dangerous if they were soldiers that had survived the apocalypse. Although it seemed that there were fewer zombies in that area, Chu Han could guarantee that in less than 10 minutes thousands of zombies would come rushing the moment they got a whiff of blood.
Chu Han would have believed the boy if he had not met Luo Zhehao in Yu Village. However, Luo Zhehao had said that he had spent one week with his parents two months earlier. It had been just Chu Han's parents and Luo Zhehao. He had never mentioned of an adopted child!
