Chapter 1057: Oh my, survival variety show meets an ex! 27

The two rested a while longer, then they heard Su Nai outside calling everyone to come over.

At the spot where Jiang Ting had just died, the camera's light flashed, and suddenly a letter's shadow was projected onto the ground.

"This is the first time the Program Team has provided real-time information."

Shen Yi found it novel, crouched on the ground to examine it closely, and slowly read out the projected characters.

"Congratulations on completing the first stage of the survival mission; the Survival King has already been chosen from among you. Supplies will be airdropped tomorrow morning. Additionally, the two new guests have joined to fill the numbers—wish you all a fun game and happy play."

Su Nai was confused: "What game?"

Shen Yi patted his buttocks, stood up, and coughed.

"Werewolf, really spooky."

She muttered while playing, asking Jin Chen: "By the way, does filling the numbers mean the game has already started the second round?"

Jin Chen gave a noncommittal nod, slung an arm over Yu Sui's shoulder, and stood lazily.

"What Werewolf… what on earth are you talking about!"

Xie Shao's face was full of bewilderment, he glared at everyone: "Don't you all know I signed up for survival? How did it become like this!"

But no one answered his confusion.

Jin Chen sighed.

Sigh, the only fool.

"Don't be upset; perhaps… there will be good news tomorrow."

Lin Gui remained good-natured, persuading everyone, as if everything in his presence would turn out well.

But there are always people who don't buy his act.

"Don't stand here talking without back pain!" Xie Shao's tone grew fiercer; under the imminent life threat, there was also Jin Chen's covert guidance after going down into the cave.

This actually forced him and Lin Gui to tear off their masks, laying everything bare.

"You actually think you're some kind of good person! Wasn't it you who said Jin Chen and Yu Sui would threaten the Survival King's title, so you bribed me and Bai Xuan? And now you're spouting cool talk here."

"If you ask me, Bai Xuan's death is inseparable from you!"

Xie Shao's emotions were even more collapsed than before, his eyes bloodshot.

Jin Chen averted his gaze, looking at Lin Gui together with everyone else, a hint of mockery in the corner of his eyes: "So that's how it is."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Lin Gui, on the other hand, remained very calm, his demeanor still soft and weak, yet he did not lose his composure under questioning.

"I never said those things; from the start I just wanted everyone to leave safely…"

He weakly covered his mouth, then grew sad again: "I know everyone is tense now, but you can't throw mud at me either."

He Chao, who never takes part in disputes, instinctively shielded Lin Gui, his gaze at Xie Shao extremely dangerous.

"Watch your wording."

Seeing another round of argument about to erupt, Jin Chen spread his hands and pressed down: "Calm down, calm down—maybe we'll end up as companions on the Huangquan Road in the future."

"Don't wake Jiang Ting up again later." Jin Chen's tone was deep and languid, sounding like he deserved a beating.

Xie Shao, just about to curse: "..."

He shrank his neck, not daring to utter another word.

Although it sounded shameless, the effect was obvious—no one dared to speak loudly anymore.

Even Lin Gui, who had always felt victory was in his grasp, didn't know what was going on with that corpse.

A person who's dead is dead; after being disemboweled, how could they possibly become a ghost?

Zhong He quietly approached Jin Chen's side, deliberately avoiding Yu Sui's line of sight, his voice very soft.

"I have something to say to you."

But Yu Sui had all his attention on Jin Chen—how could he miss it? He immediately went on guard, blocking Jin Chen, and coldly said: "What do you want to say?"

Zhong He furrowed his brows; his cold, silent aura was now no less than Yu Sui's: "It has nothing to do with you."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Yu Sui instantly drew his dagger, his eyes icy to the extreme, hostility evident.

Jin Chen, caught between the two: "..."

He blinked, deflected Yu Sui's dagger, and said: "Why get angry for no reason?"

Having said that, he put his arm around Yu Sui's shoulder, turned his gaze to Zhong He, and spoke in an aloof tone.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhong He glanced at Yu Sui: "Make him leave."

Jin Chen: "Impossible."

Yu Sui clenched Jin Chen's hem, showing no concealment of his hostility toward Zhong He.

〖This is so exciting, let's fight, let's fight! 〗

〖Zhong He's little bro's gaze is so strange—could he want to tell Jin Chen a clue? 〗

〖What clue still needs to lure away someone's official boyfriend—if Yu Sui's little bro leaves, coming back he'll get his place stolen (dog head)〗

Zhong He fell silent; after a few drips of water in the cave, he still spoke.

"As for my secret coming to this island, no need to doubt—it's indeed the same as yours."

All of us came for the serial code; Jin Chen already knew, showed no reaction now, and began to speculate on Zhong He's identity.

"I will fulfill my previous promise and let you leave the deserted island safely."

Jin Chen: "... ah?"

Such a resolute tone.

His mind churned a thousand turns, but his face gave nothing away: "Now that dangers abound, how can you guarantee it, and why me?"

"You'll find out."

Zhong He left only a mysterious, unfathomable remark, then fixed Yu Sui with a murderous stare, continuing to act mute.

Yu Sui then looked up at Jin Chen again, "He treats you well."

The resentment and sourness in his tone were about to overflow.

"Maybe there's a ghost, don't overthink it." Jin Chen ruffled Yu Sui's head, shifting his left leg that had begun to ache faintly.

Jin Chen didn't think Zhong He could build such great trust in him in a short time.

And he guarded against everyone except his wife; Zhong He was of course no exception.

——

Inside the cave, day and night indistinguishable, the guests, under Jin Chen's deliberate guidance, finally found the correct exit.

Outside the cave it was already dark; tonight there was not only no moon, but hardly any stars, as black as ink.

Everyone tacitly agreed there would be no more small movements during the camp rest; this night could be considered harmonious.

Or perhaps because two people had already died in succession, the behind-the-scenes person's preliminary plan was complete, and the werewolf would not kill tonight.

Jin Chen lay on his back in the tent, idly thinking, his soaked clothes dried by Spiritual Power to about seventy percent.

Then he sat up slightly, pressed his leg, and hissed.

Inside the cave, sunlight never reaches year-round, the underground is all dark water, very damp, let alone today his whole leg got wet.

Jin Chen grimaced, rolled up his pant leg to inspect, and secretly used Spiritual Power to repair.

Fortunately the kid didn't notice; Jin Chen patted his swollen ankle, lowered his pant leg, and looked up to see Yu Sui lifting the tent flap, his black-and-white eyes fixed on him.

Jin Chen, feeling guilty, touched the tip of his nose, "Is the password research done?"

【I think you're done for.】0731 schadenfreude, 【Everyone said your old injury can't touch water.】
