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.

He Wanted to Escape

Editor: vb24

Many people turned around since they could not bear to look at the bloody scenery. They witnessed by themselves just now how Lu Wan’s body was turned into a broken skeleton in mere minutes.

It would be terrible and despairing!

Chu Han would be killed by the zombies within moments. His organs would be dragged out and bitten. The eyeballs and intestinal tract would be swallowed as delicacies!

Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong were frightened and their legs were softened as jellies. Chu Han --- he was crazy!

"Boss! Boss! Ah ah ah!" Chen Shaoye could not bear the shock and cried by the window.

Shang Jiuti covered the eyes of Eighteen and yet her eyes were red!

Plop plop plop---

Chu Han was tightly wrapped with the sheet that was filled with Ye Tianlong’s blood. The rifle was heavy but it was tied tightly to him. He carried Ye Tianlong’s body while silently counting.

Only a meter left until he reached the ground.

Now!

Chu Han’s arm suddenly became more powerful. The strength of a phase one strength was so powerful that it wasn’t something a normal human could have. He curved his body and threw the Ye Tianlong out, just like shot-put!

The body was thrown far away and it fell somewhere out of his sight. There was still fresh blood and the heavy stench spread.

The zombies became mad and rushingly flocked to the fresh body.

Pa!

Chu Han landed in easily at the very moment and hugged the sheet with blood casually. Then he ran.

His increase in strength wasn’t the same as that during the civilized era, but it followed the rules after the global darkness. Just like the zombies who achieved genetic variation, humans began to evolve, creating a new milestone in this era.

The phase one strength had been exceeded the limitation of human beings and the evolution was weird and unreasonable, but it truly existed, just like the zombies.

Everyone had such a potential but they needed time to discover it.

However, Chu Han evolved earlier than any other human beings since he had the meltdown system!

This was his trump card that something he relied upon!

Even after jumping from the second floor, Chu Han wasn’t even scratched. He was not afraid of these zombies. Human beings with a first-grade physique would not be infected by the first-grade zombies.

The only danger was that the number of zombies was too many and he would be heavily injured when being bitten by them even if he won’t be infected.

Ye Tianlong’s body was his most important chip!

The smell of blood would attract the zombies. He had enough time to run away, as little as it was.

The bystanders who looked at the scenery from the second floor had their eyes opened wide in disbelief. Chu Han didn’t die and he was also running away from the group of zombies with an inconceivable speed while the body was surrounded by the countless zombies.

The scarlet bleeding wound was surging out and the zombies with rotten and pale skin scrambled to bite the body. They would rob the body of all flesh, even the dirtiest intestine. Some zombies could not squeeze in and they just bent over and licked the blood on the ground.

Chu Han ran away quickly and these zombies could not catch up!

Chen Shaoye was staring in bewilderment and he forgot to wipe his face. There were snot and tears on his fat face, making him look like a funny clown.

The expression of Shang Jiuti was showed how shocked she was and Eighteen just stared at Chu Han’s disappearing shadow.

The other survivors had different emotions. Surprise, doubt, and even disappointment....The frightening did not occur while Chu Han had escaped from the danger which spelled a bad end for him.

However, why were they disappointed?

Chu Han’s speed was so quick and he could even be described as lightning-fast. The speed of the zombies biting the body was also fast. Ye Tianlong’s body was devoured by them. Some who did not taste the flesh fought for the remaining bones to lick fiercely.

Chu Han was still hugging the blood-soaked sheet. The fresh smell caught the attention of the zombies. Countless zombies started turning around and tracked him. They bared their desire for flesh and blood with impatient roarings.

The roaring of winds was cold at night and the pricking on the face felt painful.

Chu Han unfolded the sheet when he arrived at the oil drums at the petrol station. The sheet was thrown on the ground and he held the rifle tightly at the same time.

Lock and loaded.

Bang----

The gunshot was deafening and the brain of zombies burst along with it!

Chu Han continued running without looking back after that one shot.

The zombies in the resting station heard the noise and they started pushing and squeezing to get out. The group that was walking in the front found the bloody sheet on the ground, a fishy smell being emitted from it.

They tore the sheet crazily and could not wait to put it in their mouth. They had no minds and did not know whether it was flesh or not. What they knew was that the sheet had a fatal attraction to them, just like drug addicts seeing drugs when they were having a drug withdrawal. The survivors in the resting station held their breath with concentration and there was no sound made during this critical time. The fortress on the stair had stopped shaking. Although it was vulnerable, the mindless zombies had given up. They gradually scattered outside.

Their genes were strange and there was a strange frequency in their brains so they had resonance with each other. They just imperceptibly gathered.

There were more and more zombies on the ground and they were crowded around the bloody sheet. They squeezed hard and more zombies were coming out from the station.

The people standing beside the windows felt numb. Looking from above, the scenery down there seemed like a dark vortex with a reddish white point in the middle.

Chu Han had been gone after he fired the gun once. The unevolved people’s eyesight could not focus at night with so many zombies.

Was he dead? Or did he survive? Nobody knew.

Shang Jiuti forcefully held back her tears and a sound was squeezed from the crevice between her teeth, "Let’s go down. And make sure nobody make a noise!"

Silence. No one spoke. The mass went through the pile of zombies on the stairs quietly. They held in their disgust towards the rotten meat in fear of death.

Them being alive was a miracle.

The mass went to the ground floor carefully to gather at the exit. They did not know where they should run to. There were zombies outside and it was still dangerous even though the zombies around the resting station had gone out.

Buzz----

There was suddenly a roar of an engine!

The big cross-country vehicle had sped outside with its fastest speed. It slowly left the people’s view.

There was a short period of silence---

A survivor shouted desperately, "Liar! He’s a liar. He wants to escape alone!"
