One day, darkness enshrouded the world. According to the Meltdown theory, Earth’s magnetic field faced a change, and along with it, natural laws changed too. Though some laws related to physics could still be applied, a lot of scientific theories and laws had been overturned, prompting everyone to re-discover their underlying principles. Humanity’s scientific foundation was not the only one which faced changes; the field of genetics had transformed too. One of the biggest disasters brought by the magnetic field’s change was the zombification of more than 80% of the world’s population. After years of struggling, a few lucky survivors would evolve and awaken a hibernating power hidden in them. Chu Han was never that lucky… While holding on against the first wave, humans weren't the only ones getting stronger. Soon, phase-1 zombies evolved into phase-2 then phase-3 and so on. Ten years after the mysterious meltdown, the world dominated by humans changed hands. Zombies were the new overlords, and humanity was facing extinction. One day, Chu Han`s consciousness returned ten years before the end of the worlds. A loud noise awakened him in Minqiu University’s dormitory. With only one day to prepare before the Apocalypse’s outburst, he slowly realized that he had been reincarnated! Chu Han’s sudden reincarnation brought an unexpected power, which he hadn’t in his previous hellish world. To be more precise it wasn’t a power, but a system! The Meltdown System! Despite losing his monstrous strength gained through years of harsh training, Chu Han was confronted as the Meltdown System could grant him talents in exchange for credits, which he could get with every zombie he killed. This is a story about a world on the edge of ruins, the Meltdown System, and Chu Han, trying his best to save the people he could not save before.
The woman with a fever was in a red face since she had a high fever. Her lips opened slightly and she was having difficulties with breathing. Her, lying in the bed made an alluring posture.
Jia Chunjie directly looked at her since she was so captivating!
Should he…..
He could just do it then leave. There were many cars in the supermarket. Jia Chunjie carefully inspected it before entering the inn. He could have a good time before Chu Han came back and then just leave with some food in his hands.
As to Shang Jiuti, her fate meant nothing to Jia Chunjie. All he wanted was to satisfy himself.
He cared nothing about the rest.
As evil intentions began sprawling into his mind without suppression; Jia Chunjie’s eyes just stared at Chen Shaoye and Eighteen who looked after Shang Jiuti. These two people were so easy to fool since one was an idiot and the other was simply too young!
——————
The map of Ange Town was not omplete but Chu Han could know where he should go with the vague memory he had during his previous incarnation. He did not go with a car nor a gun since he didn`t have any bullets.
Chu Han just took the axe, which was his most original equipment. A tall and strong body walked by the crossroads to escape unnecessary trouble.
He was in a hurry since he wanted to get the airdrop bag ASAP and it was also bad for Shang Jiuti if the fever goes untreated for a long time. There was a complete medical kit in the airdrop bag.

This place was an abandoned public toilet and there were maggots in the urinal that was cleaned by no one. It was in a street downtown of Ange Town. There was thick rancidity coming from the toilet, so people in the street could not even take a breath.
The scenery before could not be seen here since this place was literally filled with rubbish. It looked like a graveyard full of garbage. There were at least 100 zombies that were wandering the streets, but most of them were separated and not in groups or hordes. These zombies just smelled carefully or stretched out their tongues and teeth to touch the dirty wreckage when they pass each part of the place.
There was a two-story tea house opposite to the toilet. The plaque was gone and the glass was so dirty. It was dark and sticky with the rotten minced meat left behind by the zombies.
Vague shadows could clearly be seen from the curtain draping from the windows at the front.
There were four men. Three of them looked young and ragged while the other one was mature and wore a broken and tattered suit. They sat at the corner quietly with a gloomy expression. They just had a little communication.
The smell of the public toilet almost smoked them out but they knew it was safer than other places.
The environment was very putrid since it was very dirty, messy and very smelly. It was the dirtiest and messiest street of the downtown area. The adjacent street was clearer than it was and it was not as smelly, but there were much more zombies.
Looking at the silent people with him, Xiao Yunfei could not help but worry.
He was a handsome elite of the upperclassmen. He had a degree in mathematics from Oxford University and he received the top actuary`s certificate of Mi Country. The 28-year old man had been a senior managerial staff in a foreign enterprise. The capital that he could randomly use had been in the tens of millions.
He always thought highly of himself with his outstanding EQ and.
However, the sudden explosion of the apocalyptic plague just swept it all away. Now he was even having a hard time to have a meal, let alone while avoiding the threat of death at any time.
Xiao Yunfei tried to cover the panic in his eyes as he blatantly lied, "Don’t worry as we will find food. There are so many resources in this town and we will go out and find some after the break."
He was ignored by these people. The three people were confused since they did not know when the tough life of hunger would end.
There was anger in the eyes of Xiao Yunfei. He just smiled and entice them, "You should trust me. I promise that you guys will only reap advantages if you guard me to Shi City; including food, women and whatever you want! You should know of my social position. And even more, I am familiar with Shi City`s military. There will be no hard days if we get there."
In the end, he bequeathed the three people with false hope, "I promise."
Affected by the surge of emotion of Xiao Yunfei, the three people opposite to him now wore bright faces.
That was right. Xiao Yunfei said he would go to Shi City from the very start and they did hear the broadcast just a few days ago. There was a military base there!
Xiao Yunfei must have a great background!
"You can be at ease, President Xiao. I will guard you to Shi City even with my life!" One man hurried to show his honesty.
"Yes, President Xiao. I will follow you in the future." The other one just sucked up to him.
"President Xiao, you should remember me in the future!" The third man just refused to be outdone.
These people were part of gangs and saw how to suck up to the higher ups and they also did it to Xiao Yunfei. They were thinking about hugging young girls at night and eating meat and fish everyday as well as kicking off the asses of those that harmed them.
Xiao Yunfei just smiled warmly but there was endless mockery in his mind. He knew that they hid food before and these three people could not trick him again! These three people were useless when he arrived at the base. He would teach them a good lesson at that time!
At the moment that they talked actively and happily, the zombies out of the tea house just made a terrible roar. It was the sound when they found food. It was an impatient sound filled with craving.
Zombies seemed to be attracted t something as they collectively rushed towards a certain place. They were roaring all around.
The sound was getting closer and clearer and louder!
The number of the zombies increased!
The four people in the house were nervous and panic-stricken. They did not know why there were suddenly so many zombies? Have the zombies found out their hiding spot.
It was impossible since the rancidity was so thick to cover the smell of these four human beings.
So what was actually happening?
These people were afraid to move as they to take slight and slow breaths. They were afraid of death and they just peeked outside through the gap of the glass.
Soon, surprise could clearly be seen plastered in the faces of these four people.
There was a man with an axe that seemed to be so heavy. He was running with at an extremely quick speed.
There was a large group of zombies numbering to about eighteen or nineteen.
The zombies looked scary as they gave off a feeling of death. It made people panic unconsciously when there were so many zombies. However, these zombies could not catch up to the man.
He was in common but clean clothes and he also looked young. He was not older than 20-years-old.
He was only one person but he could wander in such a dangerous place easily and trick the zombies.
Xiao Yunfei took hurried breaths as his eyes suddenly lit up.
Who was it?
