Chapter 107

Lin Chen just entered dreamland when he was woken up by the movement beside him. He opened his eyes,

and saw Xia Nuan sitting by the bed, her eyes a bit uneasy. "What's wrong?" Lin Chen rubbed his eyes and asked.

Xia Nuan whispered: "Can I sleep with you, baby? I'm a bit scared, always worried there will be danger at night."

Lin Chen's face suddenly turned red,

his heartbeat also accelerated a bit, he quickly moved to the side, lifted the quilt and said: "Okay, you come in.

" Xia Nuan nodded, drilled into the quilt, and leaned gently on Lin Chen's shoulder.

Lin Chen's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed, reaching out to hold her gently, and the two soon fell asleep again.

The next morning,

when Lin Chen and Xia Nuan woke up,

it was already bright.

They walked out of the room and saw Old Zhou sitting on a chair in the living room, his face pale.

Walking closer, both were stunned—Old Zhou's right eye had already burst,

the eye socket was empty, flowing with blood, and there was a ferocious wound on his throat,

obviously unable to make a sound. But he could still rely on his right leg, hopping and walking slowly, looking exceptionally miserable.

"Old Zhou,

what happened to you?

" Lin Chen quickly stepped forward and supported him. Old Zhou opened his mouth, but could only make a "ho ho" sound,

his eyes full of pain. Lin Chen immediately asked the system: "System, what's going on with Old Zhou?

Why did he suddenly become like this?" 【Detecting unknown abnormality in Old Zhou's body, sudden necrosis of eye tissue and throat tissue, specific cause unknown, unable to detect】 the system replied.

"Damn it!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but swear, his heart anxious and angry, but there was no way, so he had to give up questioning the system,

supporting Old Zhou to sit down slowly, wanting to find some clean cloth to help him wipe the wounds.

But not long after sitting down, Old Zhou's body suddenly stiffened, hopped a few times,

and fell straight to the ground, no longer moving. Lin Chen quickly probed his breathing,

and found there was no breathing.

"Old Zhou!"

Xia Nuan exclaimed,

tears instantly falling down. Lin Chen was also stunned, his brain blank, and it took a few seconds to react,

asking the system: "System, what's going on with Old Zhou? Is he still savable?" 【Detecting that Old Zhou's vital signs have completely disappeared, confirmed dead, no possibility of rescue】 the system replied.

Lin Chen and Xia Nuan couldn't hold back anymore, squatting on the ground and crying. Just then,

the blackening gene in his body spoke, its tone rarely a bit gentle: "Don't be too sad, death is normal in the doomsday, at least he doesn't have to suffer anymore."

Lin Chen didn't listen at all, instead scolding the blackening gene,

"It's all you!

If you hadn't fought for my body earlier, I might have found a way to save Old Zhou sooner!"

"When did I fight for your body? That was you being useless,

unable to protect Old Zhou!" The blackening gene, although a bit helpless, still comforted him in a good tone, "Crying is useless now, better think about how to handle his funeral."

"Handle the funeral?

I don't even know how he died, how do I handle it!" Lin Chen's emotions were excited,

continuing to scold, "It's all because of you, if you hadn't urged me to go out and fight earlier,

Old Zhou wouldn't have been injured!" The blackening gene finally couldn't take it anymore, its tone becoming angry: "You have no ability yourself, and you blame others?

Old Zhou was injured because of Gan Jiang, what does it have to do with me? You are a piece of trash who only knows how to shirk responsibility!"

The two argued like this, from Old Zhou's death to the previous battle,

finally the blackening gene couldn't help but say: "Don't want this body, give it to me! You don't know how to use it at all,

only making the people around you get hurt!" Lin Chen immediately resisted: "Impossible! This is my body, it's not your turn to decide!" The struggle for consciousness began again, fortunately Lin Chen's willpower was strong enough, and after a few minutes of stalemate, he finally snatched back control of the body.

He took a deep breath, wiped his tears, walked to Xia Nuan's side,

patted her shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, dead is dead, not worth sympathizing with anymore, let's bury him." Xia Nuan nodded, wiped her tears,

and stood up. The two found an open space behind the base, had no tools, so they used their hands to dig open the soil bit by bit, put Old Zhou's corpse in, and then slowly filled the soil back.

After burying Old Zhou, both were tired and sat on the ground, silent. After a while,

Lin Chen said: "Leave the base here for now, let's go back to Vault of Heaven Villa first,

it's not safe here now." Xia Nuan said "um", stood up, and followed Lin Chen to the armored vehicle.

The two got in the car and drove toward the direction of Vault of Heaven Villa. When returning to the villa,

the sky had already darkened, the two had no mood to cook, returned to their rooms, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
