Unceremoniously

The exhausted Wangcai took a deep breath and said to Chu Han shyly, "Since the road is flat again, wouldn’t it be more convenient to use the vehicle?"

Chu Han inspected the road and then got off Wangcai’s back, patting its head. "Change to your other form and let’s go and have a look."

Finally, Chu Han stopped treating Wanghai as means of transportation, and it quickly reverted back before Chu Han changed his mind. Simultaneously, Chu Han had started walking without it.

"Won’t you wait for me?" Wangcai followed him, and the asked, "Do you want to kill every zombie in the village? It’s a good idea, you earn many credits. But why are going by foot? It’s too slow. How about crashing through with the vehicle?"

"Are you blind?" Chu Han suddenly retorted, and he pointed at the opposite fort built by humans, "Don’t you see that there is a small base ahead?"

"Yes." Wangcai was already accustomed to Chu Han’s bad temper, "If there’s a base, then survivors there’ll be survivors occupying it. But what does this have to do with walking? It’s really far, and we’ll waste much time with our current speed."

"Don’t you know what staying ‘low-key’ means?"Chu Han walked while inspecting some marks on the road.

Apparently, a human had tried climbing the mountain, but he either gave up on the steep climb, or a frenzied beast had attacked him.

"Low-key? Oh?" Wangcai understood suddenly, "So you want to fool the survivors by pretending that you’re weak, and then you’ll take advantage of the villagers that know about the zombies’ location. In that way, you’ll take the shortest route and kill the zombies all alone in order not to waste a single credit. Your gains will be unimaginable."

What Wangcai said sounded reasonable, but Chu Han shook his head after listening to it. "No."

"So, what is it?’ Wangcai kept asking.

"The reason why I’m not using the vehicle is that I am so benevolent, very benevolent." Chu Han said.

Wangcai sighed and then said helplessly, "Young Master Chu Han?"

"Yes."

"Can you stop messing with me?" Wangcai asked helplessly.

"Okay, I’ll explain for the sake of my multifunctional servant." Chu Han avoided some weeds and vines easily and the said in a serious tone, "As you can imagine, those survivors will beg me to take them with me since I have a modified vehicle with empty seats."

"I see! You’re afraid it’d be impossible to take them if there are too many people." Wangcai continued his sentence.

"Wangcai, you’re really naïve. I’m doing it for your sake!" Chu Han interrupted it.

"The innocent Wang Cai, I just do it for you!" Chu Han did not know why.

"For my sake?" Wangcai was shocked since it didn’t know what that had to do with it.

"They’ll beg me to protect and bring them along, so after I refuse, they’ll get disappointed, but they’ll keep begging. And I’ll continue refusing." Chu Han’s tone suddenly changed, "But according to human nature, someone will be cursing me and keep challenging my bottom line. At that moment, I’ll have to act as a villain, killing some people due to my bad temper, but in the process, as weapons have no eyes, you may end up accidentally dead. Do you wanna die right after recovering some of your memories?"

Chu Han calmly uttered those words, and Wangcai’s fur stood on end from horror. It may get killed? What kind of master was it following? Its master was evil’s personification!

"As you can see, I’m doing it for your sake!" Chu Han added and looked at Wangcai that was trying to retreat.

"Thank you for the consideration." Wangcai moved back with faint tears on its fat face.

As Chu Han was thinking to torment and scare further the unlucky rabbit, his eyes changed, and he picked up Wangcai giving it an order, "Change to your smallest form!"

"Don’t grab my ears! It’s so painful!"

"Quickly. Someone is coming."

"Yes, sir."

‘Crash!’

Wangcai’s body changed into the size of a ping pong ball, and it looked adorable. Girls would drool seeing Wangcai’s cute form, but it was a shame that Chu Han was not like that, and just placed it in his pocket.

‘Puff!’ Wangcai was nearly out of breath.

Wangcai was dizzy after rotating several times, and after recovering, thanks to some light coming through the pocket’s hole, it found that it was together with a pile of stuff. There was a gun, which was normal, cigarettes and a lighter. Wangcai found it strange since it hadn’t seen him smoking. Looking further, there were some cookies, QQ sugar and even a bottle of eye-drops.

"What the hell are these? He just puts everything into his pocket!" Wangcai had cursed at Chu Han in its heart many times.

Chu Han didn’t know about Wangcai’s sorry state, but he didn’t care because he was smearing weeds and soil all over his body, as fast as possible, to look like an ordinary survivor. It would be abnormal if a person in clean clothes appeared in such a dangerous place.

Chu Han heard several footsteps and then some people appeared in his field of view.

There was a footstep and then several shadows in the vision of Chu Han.

Five men and one woman were approaching fast so Chu Han judged that they were phase-1 evolutionaries, which was normal since no ordinary human could stay in such a dangerous place. It had been more than two months since the apocalypse’s escalation; evolutionaries would appear more frequently, and soon the enhanced could be distinguished.

They noticed that Chu Han was all alone, so they stopped at a safe distance which made it difficult for phase-1 evolutionaries to attack. Unfortunately, they didn’t know that they were dealing with Chu Han, the best phase-1 evolutionary with the added talents of accuracy, speed and strength. 

"Buddy, are you alone?" At that moment, the six’s leader asked in surprise. That person was dark-skinned, and he should be in his thirties. He should be a native of that village, and judging from his powerful masculine physique, he should be the most powerful there.

"You can’t be all alone? Climbing that mountain is perilous, especially without anyone else’s help!" Chu Han didn’t respond to what a slim young man said. He looked at Chu Han arrogantly and asked, "Where are you from? Did you find any exits? Where are your mates?"

A series of arrogant questions followed.
