"In a hurry to go home?" Chu Han was startled. He then smiled with a complicated expression, "How can humans in the apocalypse still have a home?
Home is where we are alive. "
Chu Han did not think that these savages had the ability to build a home. Since they were forced to live in the wild forest, why would they want to go home?
Apart from Anluo City, the other places where humans lived during the civilized era were ruled by zombies.
"Expert, you might not know this, but our ancestors have been living by the coast, fishing for generations." The old man began his long speech with tears rolling down his face.
"Who would have thought that mode would suddenly descend. A tsunami directly destroyed our village, and the coastline continued to rise, forcing us to higher ground. We originally wanted to find a place to live and wait for the water to recede, but we didn't expect that the residents of the other villages would turn into zombies and keep chasing us. We really had no choice but to run, and finally hide here."
"But aside from fishing, we don't know anything else. We don't even know how to fight against zombies. In this post-apocalyptic world, hundreds of villagers have died from disease and starvation. In the end, only a hundred people are left to depend on each other."
"Sigh!
We couldn't go back on our own, so we waited here until the road was covered by plants. More than a year passed in the blink of an eye. "
Listening to the old man's long speech, the Senior Hunter could not help but be curious, "So you saw the three of us opening the road and followed us?"
"Yes!
That's right! "
The old man's eyes lit up, and he said in a surprised and nervous tone, "There is only one place at the end of this road. We were not sure if the three of you were going the same way as us, but we are already halfway there. If we continue, we will definitely reach our hometown!
The three of you are outstanding, and your combat power is strong. I hope you can help us! "
Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter looked at each other and said to the old man, "Since we are going the same way, it is not a big deal. It is just that we woke up a little late today. Aren't you guys a little too anxious?"
"Haha!
Yes, yes, we are too anxious. "The old man smiled embarrassedly," It is mainly because we are too sentimental! "
"But old man, you should be mentally prepared. This isn't the age of civilization anymore. No one can guarantee what your hometown has become," the Senior Hunter said.
The old man was silent for a while and then said firmly, "No matter what happens, we have to go back."
"Alright, tell your villagers not to rush us or be anxious. We'll set off sooner or later." Xu Feng finally made the decision. "Remember not to bother us if there's nothing important. Our boss has a bad temper."
"Good! Good!
Definitely!
Thank you, three experts! "
The old man was wild with joy. He turned around and walked into the crowd with the good news. Not long after, cheers came from behind him.
From beginning to end, Chu Han watched this scene without saying a word. The depth in his eyes was unfathomable.
"What's wrong?" Xu Feng sensed that something was wrong and asked softly, "Is there something wrong with this old man?"
The Senior Hunter also came over. "Or should we just ignore them?"
Chu Han shook his head, a glint flashed across his eyes. "Didn't you hear what the old man said just now? A few hundred villagers died of disease or starvation, and after they were forced to the high ground by the tsunami, they encountered the zombies."
Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter frowned, then looked at Chu Han with a confused expression. "I heard it. What's the problem?"
"Big problem."
Chu Han's expression was calm. He calmly pointed out the most suspicious point. "Didn't you notice the problem with the timing?"
"Timing?"
Xu Feng was startled for a moment before he started to recall. "In the old man's story, it was the outbreak of the apocalypse, followed by the tsunami. They moved their position and encountered the zombies, so they hid here. In the end, many villagers died, and now there are only around a hundred villagers left."
The Senior Hunter nodded. "That's right. It's very complete."
"So …" Xu Feng still did not understand. "What's the problem?"
Chu Han shook his head helplessly, and said in a mocking tone, "People died in the end, and they died of disease and starvation. The deaths of a few hundred villagers happened at the end of the story. Aren't you curious about the beginning?
After the apocalypse, the first problem they encountered was the tsunami. But under normal circumstances, shouldn't the people they knew turn into zombies? "
As soon as he said that, Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter were stunned. They were speechless for a long time.
That's right, when the apocalypse broke out, the most shocking thing to people would be their friends and family turning into zombies. Moreover, on the first night when the world was plunged into darkness, the first batch of people to turn into zombies was as high as 80%. No place was spared.
But in the old man's story, he did not mention this at all. Instead, after they survived the tsunami crisis, he used the word 'unexpectedly' to describe the situation of the villagers turning into zombies.
This meant that they only discovered the appearance of zombies after they survived the tsunami crisis. Could it be that none of the few hundred people in the old man's village turned into zombies?!
Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter could not help but feel horrified when they thought of this. In a situation where zombies were completely common knowledge, the abnormality of the old man's group made them shudder uncontrollably.
Chu Han glanced at the group of people behind him. His eyes were as cold as ice. "If the old man is not lying, then there's something wrong with this group of people!"
Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter nodded heavily. They felt a lingering fear in their hearts. They were secretly glad that their boss Chu Han was very sensitive. Otherwise, they would not have discovered this suspicious point.
Now that they were prepared, everything would be much easier. When the time comes, they would see what was going on with this group of people!
In the next few days, Xu Feng and the Senior Hunter continued to open up the path without any changes. There were no changes to the situation. They did not mention anything about the day they discovered that something was wrong with the group of people behind them.
After following Chu Han for so long, the two of them had mastered the ability to bide their time!
As for Chu Han, he still swaggered behind the two of them. He did not do anything but eat and drink like a boss.
As long as the group of people behind them did not do anything wrong, the three of them would be able to deal with the situation by remaining calm!
Finally, on the fifth day, when they were getting closer to the coast, the group of people behind them suddenly became restless during dinner time. A group of people were pulling and pulling each other. A tall and burly young man seemed to want to charge at Chu Han's group. However, he was held back by the old man who had spoken to Chu Han earlier.
It seemed like they were arguing about something. Although they were quite far away, Chu Han and the other two could vaguely hear some keywords that piqued their curiosity and interest with their high level of perception.
