The hammered Fan Jian slammed the door, and it sounded like an elephant was going to bring it down. Very soon, someone came to drag him back.
"Sh*T! Second Leader, can't let Chu Han get some rest first?"
"Yes, he must be drained after doing the deed!"
"Bu Sha is still inside, can you not act so embarra.s.singly?"
Fan Jian retorted and pushed the ones trying to restrain him, "Sh*t! It's been several hours. Chu Han come out and celebrate with us!"
"Second Leader, please stop!"
"Stop messing around! It's so embarra.s.sing!"
While the crowd was embarra.s.sed to the verge of crying-
'Bang!'
The door opened violently!
Chu Han left the room with black lines on his face and Bu Sha followed behind with an expression full of curiosity. The crowd felt that even if the earth split apart and swallowed them whole, it wouldn't be enough to make their embarra.s.sment go away after seeing Chu Han and Bu Sha come out from the room.
"Hey!" Fan Jian was too thick-skinned and just wrapped his arm around Chu Han's shoulder. "Let's go! We'll celebrate all night long!"
Everyone was speechless and just feigned ignorance to their leader's shameless behavior.
Five minutes later…
Chu Han, along with the hammered Fan Jian, Bu Sha and some other people following behind, reached the base's center where they had lit a big fire. After losing the luxury of electricity, the fire had entered the humans' life once again.
In the middle of the fire, there were plenty of iron poles with chunks of skinned tiger flesh. It had been a long time since the survivors had enjoyed a proper meal. That night, n.o.body starved.
Chu Han's sharp eyes fell upon ping pong ball-sized w.a.n.gcai that was hiding in a corner and enjoying a hot chunk of tiger meat several times larger than it. Chu Han was already in a bad mood after waking up and not finding it by his side.
"Chu Han is here!?" Qin Shou, along with the other evolutionaries, got up to greet Chu Han as soon as they saw him.
"Hey!" Qin Shou blinked at Chu Han after seeing Bu Sha following him and asked, "How is she? She's the best our base can offer. She's quite a hottie, ain't she?"
Chu Han didn't want to answer, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "Yeah, she's good."
"Do you like her?"Qin Shou's lit up as it'd be an honor if Chu Han loved his 'gift.'
Chu Han glanced at the tense Bu Sha behind him and said to the intoxicated Fan Jian, "I will leave tomorrow, so you should take care of her."
He didn't trust Qin Shou much, but he trusted in Fan Jian's character.
The drunk Fan Jian heard Chu Han's words, it wasn't clear if he understood them or not, but he promised, "Oh, be at ease. I will take care of her."
The bystanders were worried about Fan Jian. Why did Chu Han say something like that to Fan Jian? What if he didn't remember any of that the next day?
Chu Han shook his head and didn't know if he should laugh or cry with Fan Jian's casual answer. However, he knew about Fan Jian's temperament better than anyone. If Fan Jian promised something, no matter being drunk or sober, he would abide by his promise at any cost.
"Brother Chu, are you really leaving?" Hua Yongzhi, unlike others, asked seriously.
Chu Han just nodded and didn't say anything else. He knew that he was not the only one leaving the base; most of its current residents would abandon it. Nothing was obstructing them anym
ore, so why would they stay there and wait for death?
The wildlife was not suitable for large groups of people living together. Although cities were not suitable either, they could search for food after leaving the place.
The party lasted all night long, and many people went to rest in the morning. Chu Han left early from the base since he'd be unable to use his dimensional s.p.a.ce if people left together with him.
In the morning, the smell coming from the zombies' corpses had spread very far after yesterday's battle.
Chu Han and the rabbit-shaped w.a.n.gcai in the co-pilot seat had already traveled 100 miles with the Wrangler. The fat dummy was sleeping leisurely, with a cooked chunk of soccer-ball-sized meat beside it. w.a.n.gcai had licked every part of the meat to prevent Chu Han from eating it.
Back at the base…
Most of the survivors had already packed and started leaving. Qin Shou was in charge of leading the survivors. Fan Jian did remember what he had promised Chu Han the previous night.
At noon, the people who had departed from the base were already away from the village. They were finally outside and had a long way to go. The mountain road was difficult to cross, the vehicles were limited, and fuel was insufficient, so many people had to walk.
"What is that?" Suddenly, someone exclaimed loudly.
"What happened?" Qin Shou asked.
"Leader, take a look over there!" Another person said in surprise.
Qin Shou and the crowd looked ahead and were stunned. They noticed a huge monolith, as tall as a modern building, not far from them. On the monolith were the following words, "Ranking List."
"Ranking list? What is that?" Hua Yongzhi's hair stood on end.
"Ranking list?" Qin Shou's eyes flashed. Everything had changed after the apocalypse's escalation. Even a ranking list of categorizing one's strength had appeared.
While Qin Shou was pondering, Fan Jian beside him came up with a plausible theory, "Phase-1 ranking list? Phase-2 ranking list? Phase-3 ranking list? And a ranking list with the overall a.s.sessment of one's strength? Doesn't that mean that it judges an evolutionary's battle prowess!? That means that the ranking show who's the strongest and weakest!"
"So shall we give it a try?" The slim monkey-like man suggested since he thought it was a good idea to be ranked.
"Yes. Let's go!" The evolutionaries left the team and dashed to the monolith.
Qin Shou was faster and pointed at the monolith. "Yes, you're right! See that? The phase-4 list is empty. Then, the highest level others have achieved is phase-3!"
"Wait!" Suddenly w.a.n.g Yan was shocked, "Take a look at the top ranker in the phase-1 list!"
w.a.n.g Yan's shocked voice piqued everyone's interest, and they looked at the large and showy words in the phase-1 ranking list.
