章節 29: Chicken Leg Giveaway
編輯: WetChick1200
Chu Han’s eyes became cold and he stiffly made a nasty expression, "Whatever it is, I must take a look." No one could stop him, otherwise; coming back ten years before the apocalypse would just be wasted!
"Well, I just wish you find your parents quickly." Shang Jiuti could not bear to stop Chu Han even though she also knew that Chu Han`s parents would not be in harm`s way until the moment Chu Han gets to them.
"Thank you." Chu Han nodded. "We should go to Shi City after you have picked up the people you need to pick up in Tong City. It is the most essential path we have to take and then we just have to move on."
Chu Han could not help but be curious. Who were the people these two women were trying to pick up?
They should not have many scruples with people so the person must be so important to them that even Eighteen who had 60% loyalty towards Chu Han did not even protest.
Shang Jiuti just nodded. Even though she slightly loathed the idea that she would separate with the man especially after looking Chu Han`s calm eyes for no apparent reason.
Jia Chunjie glanced towards Shang Jiuti. He thought it was a good idea for Chu Han to be leaving especially when he knew there would be a military base in Shi City.
Chen Shaoye carefully looked at Chu Han and finally said. "Boss, I will not go to the base for I will follow you to Anluo City!"
Chu Han was surprised. According to what he had known in his previous incarnation, Chen Shaoye had no parents at the time where it had already been a good amount of time ever since the apocalypse started, however; he met Chen Shaoye at this moment where it had only started so he should go search for his remaining kin or even just his friends.
"How about your family and your friends?" It was the first time Chu Han asked about Chen Shaoye`s family.
"I, I have no family." Self-mockery clear in his voice, coupled with his specially shaped face, his expression looked extremely comical. "I grew up in an orphanage so as far as I know I no longer have any family member left. As to friends, no one would like to befriend me since I am fat and ugly."
Chu Han seemed to understand that there were no more people close to Chen Shaoye.
"Boss, I will follow you wherever you go in the future but only if you choose not to abandon me!" Chen Shaoye just squeezed a laughing sound while he was speaking, a sound which sounded worse than when he was crying.
"Good." Chu Han just gave a smile.
Chen Shaoye`s loyalty towards Chu Han was at a whopping 90%, add that to the fact that Chen Shaoye was one of the best hunters of the apocalypse. Chu Han greatly felt that besides the meltdown system that gave him an absurd edge over others, Chen Shaoye would be his greatest harvest.
The thought of the upcoming separation greatly influenced the group as they felt a little sad, creating a silent and gloomy atmosphere for a moment.
"Okay. Let’s eat!" After saying a small greeting, Jia Chunjie just served the dishes on a large piece of rock. He was in a good mood since he would be able to get rid of Chu Han when they would arrive at Shi City. He could then have Shang Jiuti to himself.
"Braised chicken!" Chen Shaoye was the quickest to react as he simply fetched himself some chopsticks and started eating.
Chu Han casually sat at the ground as he took some vegetables and began to slowly eat it.
One of the rarest types of food during the apocalypse was vegetables, a fact most people did not know during the start of the plague. It was very expensive and people wanted to eat it very much. In fact, it was even more expensive than the luxury goods available during the time of prosperity before the apocalypse. Common people simply could not afford it.
"Come on. Just eat!" Jia Chunjie gave everyone a bowl of rice and then picked up a chicken leg with a nice color and aroma and then he gave it to Little Eighteen, "Little Eighteen, you should eat more to grow up quickly."
"Oh." Eighteen condescendingly accepted it. She then paid no heed to Jia Chunjie as she simply said, "Brother Chu, take this." Instead of eating it herself, she instead gave it to Chu Han, simply ignoring Jia Chunjie`s "act of goodwill." Chu Han received it with a smile. Eighteen was a good child; she was just quite frank and violent with her manner of speaking.
Chu Han embarrassingly pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, recovering his usual expression after a couple of seconds. But instead of eating it himself, he also gave it to Shang Jiuti, saying, "Jiuti, you should eat more since you are so slim!"
Shang Jiuti thanked Chu Han who was eating vegetables. She suddenly felt sad for no apparent reason. She had carefully observed Chu Han these past few days and she saw how he was different from other men. Although he was only a twenty-year old guy, he had the bearings of a mature man. Other men were wolfish, looking at her like some kind of meat they wanted to have for themselves, but Chu Han was different.
"Chu Han, you should eat too." Without thinking too much, Shang Jiuti casually returned the chicken leg to Chu Han`s bowl.
Chu Han was at a daze as he looked at her. She only had 30% loyalty towards Chu Han, so he was quite perplexed as to why the woman treated him amiably.
Chu Han simply paid no further attention to the matter as he continued on eating vegetable.
Ka-- -
Jia Chunjie nearly bit his tongue. Shit! The chicken leg he gave eighteen was actually given to Chu Han and then given to Shang Jiuti and then returned to Chu Han, the three people simply did not note that he was the one who cooked it and then gave it to Eighteen as a token of goodwill. Instead of being appreciated, he was actually forgotten. Eighteen did not even thank him. What made him mad the most was that Chu Han didn`t even care. He simply put aside the chicken leg Shang Jiuti gave him as he continued to eat vegetables!
Chu Han just ignored Jia Chunjie`s thoughts that were apparent on his face. It would be hard getting his hands on vegetables in the future so he simply relished in the moment where there were still some left. The women`s behavior did not go unnoticed by the sensitive Chen Shaoye as he clearly felt something was wrong. Those two women gave the best they had to his boss so shouldn`t he give something too as the boss` direct subordinate?
"Boss!" Chen Shaoye tried to give the chicken leg he had bitten half of to Chu Han as a joke, saying, "I also give you-- -"
"Fuck you!" Chu Han angrily rebuked him. Eighteen and Shang Jiuti did it so why wouldn`t Chen Shaoye not do it as well? Jia Chunjie just sat aside while intrepidly eating.
Everyone was biased towards Chu Han, as they simply saw Jia Chunjie as an outsider doing odd jobs, not a person worthy of attention.
——————
Time, as always, was fast and monotonous. After just a couple of days, the food they had ransacked from Minqiu store was almost gone. The primary reason was of course Chen Shaoye`s gargantuan appetite.
The same broadcasts could still be heard over the radio. It was an intermittent event, which gave everyone no idea as to what the situation in other places was.
The world was messy, torn into pieces by an unexpected event that has claimed countless lives. The survivors only had a single choice; they had to fight to continue living.
Each of the three cars` fuel tanks was almost empty. After careful pondering, Chu Han decided to replenish their supplies in the nearest town. They then parked on the roadside. Chu Han looked at the map in the car, confirming the names in utmost detail as he then tried to memorize it.
With Chu Han looking at the map for already half an hour, Jia Chunjie finally became impatient. "I suggest we should find a town. There should be a supermarket and a gasoline station at every town. So why are you studying the map so much?"
"Shut up." Chu Han rebuked him and continued to carefully check the map.
He frowned as he tried to recover his memories about this place from his previous incarnation. The group of survivors also went through here but that memory was already from ten years ago. Chu Han did not expect to try so hard just to remember the specific details.
Where was the airdrop bag filled with enough food, medicine, firearms and ammunition?
