Apocalypse Meltdown

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.

Is There a Problem?

Translator: Sky_ Redakteur: Valvrave

Out of the house, Luo Xiaoxiao was still in a coma. Bai Yuner was leaning on the wall, just like a sculpture while Shang Jiuti was just watching as a fierce batte was taking place at that moment

"I will kill this beast!" Chen Shaoye’s voice was loud and serious, overshadowing the various noises they made while battling.

Outside of the room was not quiet, a chainsaw was ceaselessly working. No one knew what Chu Han was doing. It had been one hour since he had forced Chen Shaoye to battle the zombie and after that he paid no attention to him. He did not intend on checking how the battle was progressing, he always did things his way without further explaining.

Finally, there was a loud thud.

Chen Shaoye had fallen to the floor and then stood up with dark blood on his clothes. His eyes were red after the intense battle and his fire axe was broken. His body was quivering, not because he was scared, his body was spasming after the battle.

The zombie's body was on the ground, full with deep cuts, and its dark blood was flowing out. The zombie's blood had even reached the ceiling, not to mention on the walls. Its head had been smashed.

"Ah!" Shang Jiuti was shocked looking at Chen Shaoye, she could not bear to check him. At that moment, Chen Shaoye was filled with the zombie's blood, so she was really anxious.

The zombie was killed but Chen Shaoye had gotten hurt? Was he infected or not?

"There's no need to check me. I was not scratched or bitten!" Chen Shaoye’s tone was arrogant, "This is just the zombie's blood."

"Oh, oh oh." Shang Jiuti nodded, but the fear was still apparent in her eyes. She did not know how to deal with it.

"He!" Bai Yun'er gently breathed. It sounded like laughing but the laughing made one feel cold.

"So, is it done?" Chu Han suddenly said standing next to the door, his clothes were wet as he was trying to diffuse the iron's smell.

"Boss!" Chen Shaoye tried to raise his head, he was too weak at the moment. His throat was dry and swallowed to make it better, then as his fat neck was quivering he said, "I want to have some meat."

Chu Han grinned, it was a grin full of ambition and satisfaction, he rarely showed those emotions. He stretched out his hand and two black crystals appeared between his fingers, "

"Great!" Chen Shaoye received the crystals from Chu Han's hand without thinking and he just swallowed it. Shang Jiuti had stretched her hand in order to stop him but it was left hanging in the air; it was really embarrassing

"Haha!" It was the first time that Chu Han laughed, it was not a laughter that had to do with the scene, but because of his expectations. Chen Shaoye, the godly sniper from his past, was finally going to showcase his talent.

——————

Although it was summer it still cold in the morning. That August no one could feel warmth, the apocalypse had taken over, everyone was trying to survive one more day. The cities had turned into danger zones and zombies were out preying on people.

An off-road vehicle left the smeltery followed by a strange white van, they left the huge building further and further away as they were speeding up. The two vehicles were welded with lots of iron sticks and there were sharp iron spikes in front of the bumper. There was a protection net added at each window; with all those improvements the two cars looked like two huge beasts.

Chu Han and Bai Yun'er were in the G55 while the other three people were in the white van.

That morning, Chen Shaoye had eaten twenty vegetable rice rolls. His appetite increased after he ate the the two crystals, Luo Xiaoxiao was really shocked, she could only eat one roll per meal.

The little girl had recovered some of her strength. Although, she could not walk, she was still spirited and was talking with the others.

Shang Jiuti was silent as she was staring at the G55 in front. She felt like Chu Han was turning into a foreign existence, especially after he gave the two crystals. Two days had passed since but still be it Chu Han or Chen Shaoye, they had not said anything at all.

Zzzzz---

Chen Shaoye excitedly said in the speaker, "Boss! I am in a good mood today, I will sing you a song!"

Chu Han who was driving grinned as he heard Chen Shaoye's voice, which sounded like a duck, from the speaker before cutting him, "The stars in the sky are in the dipper-"

Pat!

Chu Han muted the speaker and silently drove the vehicle. The fatty sang out of tune!

"Let me drive." Bai Yuner lazily said, she had just woken up.

Chu Han looked at her. The girl who had just woken up had didn't emit the coldness she did like every other day, she was like a cat. 

"Do you know how to drive something like this?" Chu Han casually said, "Its speed is fast"

Bai Yuner casually said, "I can drive it if you let me drive."

Chu Han frowned, Bai Yuner was only seventeen years old. There was a big difference between a seventeen years old person and a twenty seven years old one. Besides, in civilized times one would be tested for a licence after eighteen years old.

"Then you can try diving, I am tired." Chu Han stopped since he was really tired. Even people in phase one of evolution could not successively drive for dozens hours every day. He would be much more tired if he had not experienced so much in his past, his mind and will were trained to the extreme.

G55 had stopped, so Chen Shoaye suddenly stepped on the brake, "What happened?"

Chu Han jumped off the driving seat and went to the copilot seat. Bai Yuner did not get off the vehicle, but climbed there. Chu Han happened to see a girl showing her back to him like a climbing cat. He saw her long white legs and the alluring part in the middle.

He sat on his seat and fastened the safe belt. Chu Han was entirely absorbed and silent. He seemed like he had seen nothing.

Bai Yun'er assumed a driving position and skillfully put her right foot on the acceleration.

Shang Jiuti looked from the van what was taking place with shock, "Did they switch positions?"

"What?" Chen Shaoye bit a ham and vaguely said, "Is there a problem? Boss must be very tired, so he can't keep driving"

"But---"Shang Jiuti was in panic, "But Bai Yun'er can not drive the car!"

"What?!" Chen Shaoye’s ham fell off his hand.

At that moment-

Bee!

There was a huge booming sound and the G55 flew out like a shell. It was so fast that it left dirt , thick as ash, on the van's windshield.
