Chapter 1291: Hot-blooded college guy, online zombie slaying 13

~8 min read 1,408 words

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen had never, in a setting that wasn't exactly large, smelled such a variegated mix of scents.

Even though his tolerance for smells was decent, he couldn't help letting out a soft sneeze, feeling as if every pore of his body was emitting fragrance.

Jin Chen leaned close to him, voice low and anxious, asked, "Brother Chen, am I not fragrant anymore?"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen responded with a shocked look, "What do you think?"

Is there anyone here who isn't fragrant?

"'No, it's not the perfume's smell.'"

Jin Chen furrowed his brows, "It's my own scent."

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen startled slightly, recalling the unique agarwood that had lingered these past few nights; he pursed his lips, leaned in to sniff, and then lifted his head in surprise.

"'Huh?'"

Jin Chen tilted his head to look at him, waiting for an answer.

Amid this chaotic mingling of scents, the agarwood remained faint yet distinctly unique, and only then did Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen feel surprised.

"'I can smell it, and it's still fragrant.'"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen comforted with a smile, "Don't worry, the perfume smell can't be covered up."

"'Then that's good.'"

Jin Chen was leaning against the perfume counter, close to Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen; hearing that, he suddenly reached out and embraced him, burying his head in his chest.

"'It's choking me.'"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen heard Jin Chen's soft complaint, the corner of his mouth turning up in a smile, "If zombies can't smell it, it's safe."

"'Hmm...'"

Jin Chen drew out his tone in response, lightly sniffing in Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's embrace; even without a special obvious fragrance, it could always alleviate the impact of the perfume.

Finally, Liu Zhi, who had been baptized by perfume, let out continuous sneezes, like a fuse, and sneezes erupted one after another in the perfume shop.

"'Ah—choo!'"

Chu Shu rubbed his nose, "No good, no good, even if it smells nice it's starting to be a torment."

Ru Yue covered her mouth, deeply feeling, "We should hurry over; with such a strong scent, zombies shouldn't be able to smell it."

As the saying goes, practice yields true knowledge.

After the temporary team of seven drew lots, Chu Shu felt honored to be selected as the experimenter.

"'Honored experimenter.' Zhou Xuan clapped the loudest, adding to that title."

Chu Shu gave him a big eye-roll, took his life-saving knife, tiptoed out the door, sneaking about.

"'Is there any significance to tiptoeing?' Temporary teammate Ru Meng said she didn't quite understand."

"'Classic pose.' Liu Zhi nodded."

After Chu Shu went out, both hands rose to rest on his chin, extending a snake-like hand to probe the air.

Everyone in the shop: '......'

Jin Chen closed his eyes, voice firm, "He's been possessed by a ghost."

Chu Shu was genuinely afraid; among so many oddly shaped and ugly zombies, he had finally found one that looked relatively normal.

As a result, when he turned around, half his belly was gone, frightening him to the point of almost screaming.

The zombie slowly walked toward him, showing no aggression, its bluish-gray face only a few inches from Chu Shu.

Chu Shu began unconsciously shaking his leg, something more nerve-wracking than the CET-4 exam appeared!

Fortunately, the zombie merely passed by his side; he had a scare but escaped unharmed.

Chu Shu's held breath finally relaxed, and he gave his teammates an OK sign.

According to the plan, the agile Jin Chen first detoured around the zombie horde to reach the opposite side of the street, then picked up a fallen sugarcane from the ground and sat cross-legged on the electricity meter box.

Jin Chen adjusted his posture, lifted the sugarcane and began to strike.

The zombies were quickly attracted by the bang-bang-bang sound and all rushed over.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen led the remaining teammates in a straight line across the street barrier, reaching the pharmacy.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen didn't rush inside; he subconsciously took two steps toward Jin Chen's direction, feeling somewhat worried.

Fortunately, Jin Chen, having completed the task, quickly returned, unharmed, appearing before Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen with a big smile.

"'Brother Chen, were you just worrying about me?'"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen pressed on his arm toward the gauze, "Come on, let's apply medicine."

The ability to change the topic could be called stiff.

His handsome face still smiling, Jin Chen let out an oh, "Alright, alright, just pretend you were worrying about me."

Having entered the pharmacy, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen skillfully took the wound-cleaning supplies, stood by the counter, and began cleaning Jin Chen's not-yet-healed wound.

But when he picked up the medical scissors, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen discovered he still couldn't overcome the psychological barrier, even for such a simple wound cleaning.

His hands shook badly, his breathing grew ever more rapid; clearly the gauze covered only an ordinary wound, yet Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen still couldn't bring himself to act.

"'Brother Chen.'"

Jin Chen grasped his trembling wrist, "I believe in you."

He didn't ask what exactly was going on; this undoubtedly eased Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen considerably, he took a deep breath and tugged at his lips.

"'Sorry.'"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen lowered his brows and eyes, "I..."

He unconsciously bit his lower lip, with extra force.

Having been saved by Jin Chen many times, why can't he even handle a wound properly?

Jin Chen turned around, embraced Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen again, and patted his back soothingly, "Don't be nervous, it's just a small wound; you can do it."

It's not that he can't treat the wound himself, but Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's mental knot needs to be untied, and he can only do so step by step.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen hummed, and the wrist that Jin Chen held trembled far less.

I'll give it a try.

Jin Chen stretched out his arm again, very generous,

Just try it.

Looks like a big clearance sale.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen couldn't help laughing, realized his wording was inappropriate, but after the joking his nervousness faded considerably.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 55!】

On the other side of the pharmacy shelf, Chu Shu and Zhou Xuan held the large black plastic bags they'd picked up from the corner, sweeping through the medicine supplies.

They grabbed everything in the everyday medicines area, whether they recognized it or not; there was no need for the special treatments for certain diseases.

After sweeping like that, the store soon became quite empty.

Damn, what is this?

Chu Shu held a transparent plastic bag with several flattened dried scorpions inside, 'Scary!'

Huh...

Zhou Xuan poked his head out to look at the street, then quickly pulled it back, 'Do you think zombies would be scared of this?'

Liu Zhi, face darkened, grabbed the two eager-to-try people.

Just growing tall without growing a brain.

Big tree!

Jin Chen's shout came from the other side; Chu Shu quickly poked his head up onto the shelf, 'What's up, Brother Jin?'

Jin Chen turned to look at him, 'Don't take too much, remember to share with Brother Chen and the two ladies.'

Ah… okay!

Chu Shu glanced blankly at Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen, 'Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng, you're not coming with us?'

Jin Chen: '…You talk too much.'

Chu Shu pulled his head back, scratched his head looking at Liu Zhi, 'What does Brother Jin mean?'

However, the clever Liu Zhi had already seen through everything.

Today Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng definitely cannot leave.

He pushed his glasses up, 'No need to allocate Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng's share.'

Ru Yue and Ru Meng glanced at each other; the older sister Ru Yue went around to Jin Chen's side, not noticing much change in atmosphere, her hands clasped slightly nervously as she walked to Jin Chen's side.

'Mr. Jin, can we stay with the team?'

Seeing Jin Chen look over, Ru Yue hurriedly said, 'I and little Meng don't need to eat much; we won't hold you back.'

Jin Chen pondered for a moment; the perfume idea earlier was still from the two ladies.

Jin Chen nodded, 'Sure, welcome.'

Thank you!

Ru Yue showed a smile, after relaxing she keenly sensed that Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng seemed… not very happy.

She looked thoughtful at the two, then quickly stepped back, 'Ah… I'll go help organize the supplies.'

Full of bromance, something's off.
