Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 60: That`s My Car

It was a residential district at the back of a park. It was so large and the environment was good. The greenery here used to be so pretty but it had become a wasteland after the exploration of apocalypse. Now, the people there used the soil to sow vegetable seeds. There was a river beside it and it made their farming more convenient. Many survivors immigrated to this district with their families.

Although it was not as good as the civilized times, it was still enough to provide people with their basic needs. The boss was a war veteran. The zombies had been cleared by him and his men. He went out with the others to find useful materials. Food and items for daily use were put inside the warehouse. The people living here would only have to finish their jobs, which is farming those vegetables, to get their own share of food.

It was their target for the district to create some long term development plans and most of the people here participated in the planning process. They had huge expectations that they soon eat fresh vegetables. Even some people made fences to cater some livestock.

Days became better and better. Life was simple but rich and everything would hopefully, become better and better. The people were slowly growing in numbers so much so that it could already be called as a small base.

They called it as the Xianguo Base which was named after the boss, Chen Xiangou. It also meant that this place would hopefully be filled with fruits and vegetables and they also wanted to build it as their home.

There was a parking space in the district and a lot of cars were parked there. There was a very tall vehicle there with which a red plastic bucket was laying beside it. The water in the bucket was murky and a man near the vehicle was profusely sweating.

The man was Zhou Shuli and the vehicle was the G55 that was used by Chu Han.

Zhou Shuli was unwilling. It was so hard to get those foods yet when he came to this residential district he found out that they were all gone. There was nothing left!

Now, the G55 was the only thing he had. Due to this tough vehicle, he could rush out from the group of zombies and escape. But he was still unhappy. He did not want to work here just to get food. This place was governed by rules and regulations. There were no women he could play to have fun with or some subordinates to flatter him. What a poor life it was.

It was just the same with his previous life, so the exploration of apocalypse would just mean nothing to him.

"My elder brother is coming back soon, right?"

Suddenly, there was a team coming towards Zhou Shouli`s direction. A young man proudly walked in the middle of the group. He looked like Chen Xianguo. He was Chen Xianguo`s brother, Chen Zehao.

"Yes! Boss Xianguo would be bringing lots of food." The people walking along with him were so satisfied with this life of theirs.

"I hope there would be a girl!" A person bravely spurted out.

"Hey! You should not let my brother hear that!" Chen Zehao said with a smile.

"Yes! He is so serious!" Someone timely added.

Zhou Shuli looked at the men. They wore clean clothes while he was so dirty. Shit! He had no nice clothes!

"Hey! Are you a newcomer?" Chen Zehao saw Zhou Shuli since there was only one person who did not work in the vegetable farm who was instead cleaning the vehicle beside him. "Stop cleaning or it will become dirty."

Zhou Shuli did not reply. Dropping from heaven to hell, he felt so terrible.

Zhou Shulis ignorance greatly embarrassed Chen Zehao. He moved on and carefully looked and touched the G55, "It looks good. Where did you get it?"

"Stop touching my car!" Zhou Shuli loudly shouted.

Chen Zehaos hand was in the air as anger quickly sprung to his head. His brother was the one who created this base so he should be one of the most respected persons here. As the younger brother of Chen Xianguo, everyone tried hard to be close with him and no one would talk with him like that. This new comer was so bold and rude!

He took back his hand and looked at the red bucket beside Zhou Shuli. He said without smiling, "Water is a treasure. How dare you waste it like this? You will have no food tonight."

He left when he finished speaking as someone looked at Zhou Shuli sarcastically and then moved on.

"Shit!" Zhou Shuli kicked off the bucket as he was so mad. Why?!

Killing intent filled Chen Zehaos eyes since he hated people who would not listen to him.

"Second boss!" Suddenly, there slowly came a vehicle and in it was a team that was tasked to find food. The people in the car waved towards Chen Zehao, "There are some newcomers."

"Oh? Welcome!" Chen Zehao smiled as he walked towards the car. It was better to have more people; it would mean they would have a much larger workforce, which in turn would allow them to produce more food. He did not want to be the one to do labor

"They are college students from Mingqiu City!" That person smiled and pointed at the following vehicles.

"College students?" Chen Zehao looked towards where the man was pointing. Honestly, he hated college student since he could not pass the entrance exam.

There were five new cars, including four common pick-ups and one red Ferrari 458! Driving a sports car during the apocalypse, what gall!

Although it had been broken and was now only a pile of iron, it was still eye-catching. It was ridiculously eye-catching.

"Hahaha!" Someone suddenly laughed out.

How was it supposed to be driven when it was so broken? Could it even withstand crashing against zombies? The owner of the car was veryfunny!

Zhi-- -- -

The five vehicles steadily stopped as a group of college students jumped out of the vehicle. There were three men and women and all of them were dirty. They were very slim and they looked very famished. They must have had a tough experience.

The people inside the sports car also went out. They were a man and a woman. They also looked like refugees.

"Hello. I am the second-in-charge of Xianguo Base." Chen Zehao said hello to the people and looked at the sports car. Although it was not suitable to drive on, he still wanted to try it out.

"Hello. I am Ding Xue." A young girl stepped forward and stretched out her right hand towards Chen Zehao.

Surprise flashed in Chen Zehao`s eyes. His eyes then stared at Ding Xue for several seconds as he shook hands with her. Then he looked at the two people that got out of the sports car, "How about those two people?"

It was very eye-catching to drive a sports car during such times, especially when it was so broken.

Ding Xue frowned but she still answered politely, "Duan Ming and Ji Qingliu."

"Oh, yeah?" Chen Zehao smiled as mockery flitted across his eyes.

"Is this base safe? Could we live here?" Duan Ming looked at the place disgustingly as he then said to Chen Zehao, "Do you have something to eat? I am so hungry."

"Do you have crab? I can pay for it." Ji Qingliu said and licked her lips. She was really hungry since their lives these past few days had been very poor.

Chen Zehao could not help but laugh. These two people appeared here, just like refugees. Yet they actually dared to put up conditions?

"That`s my car!" Ji Qingliu suddenly shouted as she pointed towards the G55 beside Zhou Shuli, "That`s my car! I specifically chose 888 as its license plate when I got it!"
