Chapter 1286: Hot-blooded College Guy, Online Zombie Slaying 08

~6 min read 1,158 words

Wei Xian's excitement had faded again, and he was even a bit fearful.

"I saw a ghost!"

Wei Xian held the big hammer head used to smash defective ceramic shards with both hands, repeatedly smashing the zombie's body; if it were yesterday, he would have already succeeded.

"The zombies are evolving..."

Jin Chen muttered, feeling quite puzzled.

Ordinary people have no abilities, yet zombies can evolve; this world is quite bizarre.

Wei Xian hadn't finished smashing here, the mutated Lao Qiang slowly stood up again, half his face flesh torn off hanging, mouth open, lunging at Wei Xian.

"Get lost!"

Wei Xian kicked hard, using the hammer's inertia to smash at Lao Qiang.

"Xian-ge..."

Lin Yu Xi's anxious wait turned into worry; she wanted to rush over but was blocked by the muscular man.

"I'm going! Xian-ge said, if we want to eat, you have to stay alive!"

One wave hasn't settled before another rises.

The four zombies left locked up yesterday came down one after another, perhaps attracted by the scent of the living, even more ferocious, and their originally slow movement speed is also increasing.

"Help!!"

Fearful screams rose and fell, no one could escape; we must resolve this quickly.

"Chen-ge, hold this for me." Jin Chen took off the slightly restrictive necklace, "It's not convenient."

Jiang Chen kept the necklace safe for him, but still worried.

"Be careful."

"Don't worry."

Jin Chen propped himself on the archway base with one hand, let go neatly, and leapt out with extreme agility.

Jiang Chen watched his back, raised a hand to lightly touch his heart, brows slightly furrowed.

Uncontrollable worry and tension—Jin Chen really too easily stirs his emotions.

"Jin-ge, I'm coming to help you!!"

Chu Shu grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed over, "I'll fight these monsters to the death!"

"Me too!"

Zhou Xuan, having lost his kitchen knife, grabbed a few ceramic shards and charged, his blood boiling, "At worst, we'll treat killing monsters as leveling up! Charge!"

Jiang Chen and Liu Zhi, who had no intention to charge, exchanged a glance, silently asking.

Liu Zhi pushed his glasses, "I'm the one who comes up with ideas; I'm not suited for physical labor."

What a refreshingly unconventional reason.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Then could you give me the dagger?"

Liu Zhi was surprised; it turns out Doctor Jiang can also fight monsters!

He quickly handed over a military dagger.

Jiang Chen held it in his hand, still not used to a weapon other than a scalpel, but the shape wasn't much different.

Jiang Chen rushed toward the chaotic mass of zombies and people.

Jiang Chen stopped, feeling a bit dazed.

It seems... no more combat power is needed.

The five tougher zombies, as if conscious, were scattered across various spots of the first floor several hundred meters long, but the open area still let one see the whole scene at a glance.

Wei Xian was still fighting the first zombie that had jumped down, obviously red-eyed from killing, while Lao Qiang had his head beaten to a pulp, dead beyond death.

Jin Chen is formidable; handling two zombies alone with ease, while Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu together besiege one, barely enough.

The rest……

Jiang Chen's expression suddenly tightened, constantly turning his head to look around.

The fastest zombie is missing.

"Everyone gather together! Watch your surroundings!" Jiang Chen shouted to the other panicked tour group members.

Lin Yu Xi coughed nonstop from fright, tears streaming, "Xian-ge! You guys hurry and help him!"

He grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, voice choking, "You have a dagger! Go help Xian-ge quickly!"

Jiang Chen's attention was still on searching for zombies; being pulled made him stagger, almost falling, and in the moment he lowered his head he saw the reflection of the floor tiles.

An extra shadow……was on it.

Jiang Chen stiffened all over, didn't have time to shake off Lin Yu Xi's hand, and lunged quickly to the left.

"Ah!"

The two rolled into a heap and fell; Lin Yu Xi was brought down hard by him, crying out in pain.

"Mmm… why did you push me? It hurts… so…"

"Shut up."

Jiang Chen coldly rebuked, shook off his hand and stood up; just then a zombie leapt down and lunged at him with extreme speed.

"Ahhh zombie!" Lin Yu Xi screamed again.

Jiang Chen gripped the dagger tightly, noticing the zombie's eyeballs had changed from yesterday's pinpoint size to lacking pupils, only a cloudy white.

Does this mean… they actually can't see after evolving?

"Huh…"

The zombie let out a low growl, teeth and claws bared, lunging at Jiang Chen, its bloody fangs seeming able to bite off a chunk of flesh at any moment.

Jiang Chen dodged a few times, using the archway's cover to jump up, precisely gripping the dagger and thrusting it toward the zombie's head.

But the zombies' speed was really too fast; just having their throats slit, their movements stalled for a moment, but it didn't affect their speed.

Jiang Chen's attack missed; as he fell down, his heart sank. He knew he should steady himself before continuing, but there was no time.

"Chen!"

At the critical moment, Jin Chen rushed over, kicked the zombie lunging at Jiang Chen, and firmly held him in his arms to steady him.

"Are you okay?" Jin Chen asked him, his voice trembling a little.

"No."

Jiang Chen was startled by his hoarse voice; without thinking about still being held, he instinctively touched Jin Chen's hair.

"I'm fine, thank you."

The comfort came just in time; Jin Chen quickly calmed down and gave him a cute smile.

"Leave it to me; later Chen will help me heal my wounds."

"What…?"

Jiang Chen froze slightly, seeing Jin Chen's bleeding arm as he rushed out; the fresh gauze couldn't staunch the flow.

Yesterday's wound hadn't healed and split open again.

Jiang Chen reached toward his lower back and indeed felt bloodstains; Jin Chen had just been shielding him with his left hand.

His heart felt clenched, and Jiang Chen's breathing went out of rhythm.

"【Detected villain triggering Heartbeat Value, Heartbeat Value 6, total 6!】"

The zombies were fast, but Jin Chen was faster, as if he could anticipate the next move—fierce and swift, exuding an intimidating pressure.

The tour group stared agape, as if watching an immersive action film, with only one thought left in their minds.

This guy seems even more badass than Wei Xian!

No… not just seems, it's certain.

One person took down three zombies in a row!

Swish!

The dagger plunged into the brain, and the zombie collapsed helplessly.

Jin Chen shook his numb left hand, turned around, and looked at Jiang Chen from a few meters away, looking rather pitiful.

"Chen, my hand hurts."

Jiang Chen hurried over, his voice anxious: "First stop the bleeding; my pack is across the way."

"Okay."

Jin Chen obediently followed him, no trace of the earlier ferocity remained.
