Chapter 1290: Hot-blooded college guy, online zombie slayer 12

The two reached the opposite side safely despite some scares.

Jiang Chen had just steadied himself when Jin Chen fiercely hugged him, arms locking his shoulders, which hurt a bit.

"I was scared to death."

Jin Chen's voice was muffled.

Jiang Chen raised his hand to return the hug around Jin Chen's waist, gently patting his back, "I'm fine."

Jin Chen took his slightly trembling hand and gently massaged it, "Chen Ge, don't get hurt, I'll protect you."

He lifted his eyes, beautiful pupils shining, "Just like you protected me just now."

It felt quite wonderful.

Jiang Chen never thought he would worry so much about someone… well, Jin Chen is no longer just anyone.

A friend who is not quite unfamiliar and unusually familiar.

Jiang Chen patted his back again, soothing him, "All right, I know."

The three people nearby, disheveled in the wind, exchanged glances, none daring to step forward to separate them.

Liu Zhi had held it in for a while, poked Jin Chen's shoulder, and whispered very softly, "Brother Jin, in team fights it's taboo to open a private chat without discussing tactics."

Jin Chen: "……"

The nice romantic atmosphere was completely interrupted.

The five rested a moment, then descended along the vines covering the wall.

"Safe landing!" Chu Shu finally came to.

"Brother Jin, where are we headed next?"

Jin Chen looked toward the Main Gate, which already had movement; it seemed Wei Xian intended to find a way to unlock it.

This face, whether beaten or not,

He led the four around to the front of the iron door; the lock was weirdly arranged, but it could be opened from outside.

Thus, after Wei Xian's earth-shattering speech, they prepared to open the door before everyone's eyes, cementing the title of "base boss."

Just as they were fired up, the door lock clicked.

Accompanied by the creaking of the old iron door, Wei Xian's smile gradually stiffened as he locked eyes with Jin Chen.

Jin Chen waved his hand, "Hey, just a little effort, no thanks needed."

Everyone: "……"

Silence, silence is today's factory.

How awkward, Wei Xian's earlier words were spoken for nothing.

They wanted to laugh but dared not, heads lowered, shoulders trembling from holding it in.

Wei Xian gritted his teeth, "Why won't you go away!"

Jin Chen exclaimed in shock, "How can helping also get me scolded! You're so manly!"

"You don't appreciate good intentions!"

Wei Xian roared, "Get lost!"

Jin Chen wailed, turned, and tattled, "Chen Ge scolded me!"

Jiang Chen startled, not expecting to be involved, he comfortingly embraced him, "Don't stoop to a madman's level."

Jin Chen nodded, unabashedly hugging Jiang Chen's waist, "Chen Ge is right, let's go."

Before leaving, Jin Chen suddenly thought of something, stopped his steps, and knocked on the iron door.

"Those two ladies, do you want to come with us?"

The two little girls, intimidated into silence, nearly teared up and nodded frantically.

Jin Chen slightly lifted his chin, "Release them."

Wei Xian's face darkened, "What does this have to do with you?"

"What do you intend by keeping them? Don't you know yourself?"

Jin Chen, with implied meaning, glanced at the few men whose expressions were also unpleasant.

Wei Xian sneered, "It's the apocalypse already; don't be too hung up on morals."

Jin Chen's gaze returned to his face, looking down on him, "How so, now that the apocalypse has arrived, you've automatically evolved into a beast?"

Jiang Chen reacted, furrowed his brows, and simply stepped forward to personally take the person away.

The muscular man still tried to block, but was scared back by the dagger in Jiang Chen's hand; looking up, he saw Chu Shu and Zhou Xuan each holding a kitchen knife.

Muscular man: "……"

As long as Jin Chen is around, Wei Xian remains passive; they've clashed before, but he simply can't beat this monster.

Even if he is extremely unwilling inside, he can only grit his teeth and watch Jin Chen take the two little girls away.

The chip he planned to use to win over teammates is gone; Wei Xian must quickly prove his strength, otherwise morale will waver.

As he was thinking, Wei Xian suddenly caught sight of two zombies wandering the street corner outside the Main Gate, and an idea struck him.

It was… to sacrifice two people.

But what does it matter? After all, there's plenty of trash around nowadays.

Moreover, most of the food is with him; if these people don't want to starve, they must pay with their own value.

What will happen later in the factory, Jin Chen doesn't want to bother with; it's all their own choices.

What's more, they are now in great danger as well.

"This seems to be the only road to the pharmacy..."

Chu Shu lamented, "So many zombies."

The seven of them stood on this side of the road, crouched in the grass to observe; zombies roamed the road, at least twenty in sight, while the pharmacy they needed to reach was right across.

We can only temporarily rest in the grass and think of a way.

The two little girls thanked Jin Chen repeatedly, then introduced themselves: the long-haired girl was Ru Yue, the short-haired one Ru Meng, and they were real sisters.

Jin Chen cut off the unnecessary sentimentality, saying, "Finding a way past is more important."

Jiang Chen still remembered yesterday's speculation, and said in a low voice, "The longer a zombie survives, the more it evolves."

"Including… pupils disappearing, speed increasing, and sensitivity to pain approaching zero."

"Of these points, perhaps only the loss of vision helps us."

Liu Zhi pushed up his glasses, "Exactly! Now zombies judge direction by relying on the smell and sound of the living."

"Smell… smell."

Ru Yue suddenly pointed to the nearby perfume shop, "We can spray perfume to block the smell—I know which strong scents can do that!"

Everyone: "Great idea!"

Jin Chen: "..."

He really doesn't care whether this agarwood log lives or dies.

But a single person's resistance obviously had no effect.

Several people sneaked through the grass, Jin Chen leading the way into the perfume shop; the floor had a large bloodstain, as if after a fierce struggle, with lots of perfume spilled.

"Ugh…"

Jin Chen almost vomited from the stench, pinched his nose and walked in, found no zombies, and waved his hand for them to hurry in and share this disaster.

Chu Shu felt refreshed and delighted: "Ah… so fragrant!"

Zhou Xuan shyly covered his heart, "I seem to have smelled the scent of my senior, the white moonlight!"

Jin Chen: "...?"

So annoying.

He clung to Jiang Chen, refusing to move.

Ru Yue was very knowledgeable about perfume, and this was the first time she could so freely grab brand-name perfume, reducing her fear of death somewhat.

Nobody could escape the baptism of perfume.

Black opium incense lasted long; its sweet, cloying plum flavor turned Chu Shu into a walking fragrance, his breath carrying perfume molecules.

Unfortunately, when it was Jin Chen's turn, he sprayed "Rome's Fragrance"; its rich, burning wood scent made him feel very uncomfortable, as if his soul were faintly threatened.

Bad review!

Jin Chen patted, wanting to lean on his wife, but her scent was gone, and being perfumed by Diptyque's rose water made him sneeze again.
