Chapter 131: Lin Chen vs. Lei Hu 6

Lin Chen stared at Lei Hu, complex emotions surging in his heart. He knew Lei Hu might be lying,

but as long as there was a glimmer of hope to save Xia Nuan, he couldn't give up. The intense pain in his body was still spreading,

the wound on his chest was oozing blood, and his clothes, frozen into ice shards, were rubbing against his skin; every movement felt like being cut by a knife. He leaned against the broken wall, his inner monologue constantly emerging:

What is the meaning of fighting?

Before, it was to survive; later, it was to guard the base; now, it is just to save Xia Nuan. She cannot die; they haven't gone fishing together again,

haven't eaten the pickled pepper fish head she made again, and haven't seen the day the apocalypse ends. He is a reborn person, having one more chance than others; how could he let an important person leave again?

Lei Hu watched Lin Chen hesitating and felt a bit panicked, but still held on and shouted: "I'm not lying to you! The healing ability user is really at the abandoned hospital in Chengxi. If we delay any longer, your woman really won't be saved!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, the cold air filling his lungs, bringing a stinging pain, but making him clearer.

He remembered the regrets of his past life, the days he fought side-by-side with Xia Nuan in this life, and the worried look in her eyes every time he was injured. A conviction rose from the bottom of his heart,

supporting him to stand straight. His originally scattered momentum suddenly transformed, becoming firm and sharp, and even the surrounding wind and snow seemed to slow down a bit.

"I'll take you, but if you dare to play any tricks, I will make you die even more miserably than now.

" Lin Chen picked up the Purple Lightning Purification Gun and aimed it at the back of Lei Hu's head. Lei Hu breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to stand up, and walked forward staggeringly while clutching his wound.

He looked back at Lin Chen, his eyes full of shock: This guy has such a severe wound on his chest and is missing an ear, yet he can still stand so steadily? Is he a monster?

The two walked toward the abandoned hospital in Chengxi. On the way, Lei Hu's wound became more and more painful,

his face pale, and his steps slower and slower. He couldn't help complaining: "Can you walk slower? My wound is bleeding; if this continues, I'll die before reaching the hospital!

" Lin Chen didn't speak, just quickened his pace, with only one thought in his mind—find the healing ability user quickly and save Xia Nuan.

Lei Hu saw Lin Chen ignoring him and felt both angry and anxious, but didn't dare to act out, so he could only grit his teeth and follow.

After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at the entrance of an abandoned convenience store. Lei Hu couldn't hold on anymore and leaned against the door frame, panting: "I can't walk anymore; I must rest for a while,

otherwise I definitely won't make it to the hospital." Lin Chen stopped, looked at his painful appearance, was silent for a few seconds, took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Lei Hu.

Lei Hu was stunned, not expecting Lin Chen to give him a cigarette. He hesitated for a moment but still took it. Lin Chen took out a lighter and helped him light it. Lei Hu took a puff,

the nicotine taste relieving some of the pain. He looked at Lin Chen,

his tone softening a bit: "I didn't expect you to give me a cigarette; I thought you would always be cold to me." Lin Chen didn't answer, just leaned against the wall nearby, looking at the sky in the distance, his heart still preoccupied with Xia Nuan.

Lei Hu finished the cigarette and felt his strength recover a bit. He stood up: "Let's go; we should be able to reach the hospital in another half hour." Lin Chen nodded, and the two continued to walk forward. The wind and snow on the road gradually lessened, and the sunlight shone through the cloud layer onto the ice, reflecting a faint light. Lei Hu looked at Lin Chen's back, his heart suddenly wavering—this person doesn't seem so cold-blooded after all; he is just trying to protect the person he wants to protect. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
