Chapter 1039: Oh my, I ran into my ex on a survival variety show! 09

The rain stopped in the middle of the night.

He still had things on his mind; after the rain stopped, Yu Sui woke up, quietly sat up, moved Jin Chen's arm away from his chest, and looked at his sleeping face.

Even though there was only a sliver of moonlight inside the tent, it was enough for Yu Sui to see clearly—after two years apart, Jin Chen seemed to have changed a lot.

He also seemed to no longer have the sharp edge he once had.

Yu Sui watched for a while, picked up a dagger, left the tent, and prepared to go to the place where he had discovered the code in the evening.

The forest after the rainstorm was so quiet it was almost eerie; the surrounding darkness seemed able to swallow everything, and occasionally insect chirps and bird calls came from not far away, with leaves rustling.

The ground was muddy; Yu Sui went into the darkness according to his memory, until his figure disappeared within the range visible from the camp.

Jin Chen poked his head out of the tent, mulling it over for a while.

Going would be useless; he also didn't have a code detector.

Not going, he couldn't sleep until Yu Sui returned.

While he was still mulling it over, he heard a rustling from the middle tent, as if someone had pulled open the tent flap again.

Jin Chen then drew his head back, exposing only half an eye to watch.

It was He Chao.

After standing up, he shone his flashlight, which he carried with him, fixing his gaze on the direction Yu Sui had left, as if examining something.

Jin Chen immediately became alert.

What the hell does this bastard want to do!

Jin Chen glanced outside the tent a few times and realized He Chao intended to follow.

【Hey, he can't even beat the Main God, is he going to follow just to die?】 0731 watching the excitement.

Who knows what that bastard is thinking.

Jin Chen rubbed his wrist, then flung open the tent flap, making a big noise that instantly drew He Chao's attention.

The two exchanged a glance in the dim night; Jin Chen yawned and said, 'Hey, you're standing guard outside like a wandering soul.'

He seemed to have just woken up; He Chao relaxed his vigilance a bit and politely said, 'I thought I heard a sound earlier and assumed it was a wild beast.'

Who are you calling a beast? Your wife is the beast.

Jin Chen glared at him silently, 'If there really were a beast, you wouldn't be standing here so calmly.'

He strode straight past He Chao, ending up standing under a tree in the direction Yu Sui had gone, his back to the tent, then suddenly turned his head, alert.

You're a pervert, shh, you're looking too.

He Chao: '……'

Someone is watching; following would be too obvious.

He felt helpless, so he could only return to the tent, waiting for another chance to sneak up and get the item.

Jin Chen couldn't whistle, wandered around the camp's edge for a while, and found a flowing water source that wound toward the right.

To the right.

He glanced over; the vegetation was too dense, a route he hadn't chosen during the day.

Recalling the map's contents, Jin Chen gasped in his heart.

Looks like there'll be more work tomorrow.

Better to sleep early.

On the other side.

The rainstorm washed away the markings made in the evening, but fortunately Yu Sui had remembered the approximate location; after digging up the soil pile, he discovered that the rain had not washed away the special symbols on it.

He took another look, then began digging the soil pile; inside was a wooden box with a clasp, and after prying it open with a dagger, the detector on Yu Sui's waist vibrated abnormally strongly.

Inside the wooden box was a jade bracelet, which shimmered with a lustrous sheen in the moonlight; when the detector passed over it, a 20-character English code appeared in the middle of the bracelet, faint in color.

Yu Sui needed to crack the code to obtain the first digit of the sequence code.

The final sequence consists of seven code digits.

He tried the decryption formulas commonly used within the international intelligence organization, one after another, all ending in failure; obviously it couldn't be solved by conventional methods.

Perhaps, as the leader said, the way to decipher the secret also lies somewhere in this boundless forest, waiting for him to find it.

Yu Sui frowned, somewhat troubled, put the jade bracelet away, and destroyed the wooden box and soil pile in a special way, ensuring they could never be restored.

After finishing all that, nearly an hour had passed.

Yu Sui dared not guarantee that Jin Chen wouldn't wake up midway; he washed off the dirt at a water's edge, filled his bottle with water, then hurried back to the tent.

He returned to the tent full of damp vapor, only then realizing he felt a bit cold.

... Actually, it wasn't cold.

Yu Sui touched his icy arms, pursed his lips, and took off his outer garment.

He wasn't afraid of the cold; it was just different from before, and it didn't fit in with the warm tent.

As soon as he lay down, Jin Chen's hand reached out from the sleeping bag and wrapped around him.

'Where did you go?' a low, hoarse voice sounded in his ear, obviously having just emerged from sleep.

Even so, Yu Sui still felt a bit nervous, '... I went to the bathroom.'

He casually told a lie, relying on the darkness and his back being turned, so Jin Chen couldn't see his slightly flushed face.

'All icy cold—you must have gone out in the cold wind.'

Jin Chen muttered, holding him tighter, 'Go to sleep quickly.'

The heat source behind him began to dispel the chill; Yu Sui quietly curled his lips, closed his eyes, and rested.

——

In the early morning, it remained damp and muddy, and the number of viewers watching the livestream doubled.

As soon as the guests woke up in the morning, they smelled a strong jam fragrance.

Thought it was relief supplies given by the Program Team's great benevolence; lifted the curtain to look, and it was Jin Chen leisurely eating breakfast.

〖Good morning！！Today is still Chengzi's picnic time～〗

〖Good, good, good, early this morning I prepared a two-person breakfast～〗

〖You're being virtuous again, brother. 〗

Jin Chen seemed completely unaware of the resentful glances from the guests, and even used freshly picked wild fruit to garnish the breakfast.

Unfortunately, someone came early in the morning to ruin the good mood.

「Good morning。」

He Chao sat beside him, his tone gentle, "Last night was a bit rushed; I didn't have time to chat more."

「Can I ask you some questions？」

Jin Chen: "No, it affects my breakfast."

He Chao seemed already accustomed to his sharp tongue, and despite this attitude, continued with his own questions.

"The program data shows you're an adventure streamer, but from what I saw yesterday your skills aren't bad; you must have trained before, right?"

"Only someone who has undergone professional training can reach this level."

Papapa, papaping non-stop.

Jin Chen took a bite of bread and answered vaguely, "Yeah, actually I'm the present-day's number one cold-blooded killer."

Then he lifted his eyes to look at He Chao, "Do you dare to lock eyes with me for ten seconds?"

He Chao: "……"

He just stood there, unable to think of a response for a long time.

But everything from yesterday proved this person isn't simple, especially his relationship with Yu Sui.

Since the probing didn't work, I could only get straight to the point.

"Your skills—I already got a taste of them when you killed the wolf yesterday, and I need an enforcer."

He Chao eased the conditions, "As long as you follow me, you can set the price."

Jin Chen immediately replied, "5 billion."

He Chao fell silent.

"Which enforcer would demand that much money! Is this messing with market prices?"

"Can't afford it?"

Jin Chen snorted coldly, "Pauper."

"Now the international bounty on my head has already risen to ten billion! I'm worth a lot!"

He Chao was so angry he almost lost control of his expression.

His fans in the bullet comments also got angry, ready to curse, but the bullet comments first flooded with a wave.

He Chao, the Song King's fans, please understand, it's really that the money given is too little!

Jin Chen's eyes open when he sees money, close when he has none—this isn't something fans can control~

Like this! I'll raise one yuan! Help the Song King recruit Chengzi as a enforcer!

I'll raise 50 cents! I still have 50 cents to go to the dock later and get some fries!

He Chao's fans: 〖……〗

You guys are sick!
