Chapter 1295: Hot-blooded college guy, online zombie slaying 17

Jiang Chen tilted his head, his handsome aloof face showing a hint of a smile, and he lightly embraced Jin Chen.

"Thank you."

Jin Chen didn't know what he was thanking him for again, his finger hooked on Jiang Chen's collar. "Brother Chen, I was actually pretty scared just now."

Jiang Chen: "... Really?"

If it weren't for the gun at Jin Chen's waist not poking him, this statement would be more credible.

"Yes."

Jin Chen was very determined, his cheek rubbing against his shoulder, "A little scared, but it's no big problem."

"Brother Chen, if you follow me, you must be well protected; nobody can bully you."

"That sounded weird however you heard it, with a hint of ambiguity."

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to glance at the back of the head buried in his own chest, his breathing gradually steadied, an unprecedented sense of peace.

Others didn't know what the two whispered, only seeing Jin Chen return from the corner looking radiant.

Jin Chen wore a smile, his gaze fixed on Liu He and the others trembling in the corner, the door locked so they couldn't leave.

"It's your turn."

Jin Chen gave Liu Zhi… never mind, this person couldn't grasp his meaning, so he gave Zhou Xuan a look.

"Capture those who betrayed us."

Zhou Xuan instantly felt like a loyal lackey of a black‑force boss.

For no reason his blood boiled! Thinking he could still live out his gangster dream here.

"Okay!"

Jin Chen glanced again in surprise, what's with this kid's excitement.

Zhou Xuan charged forward with a kitchen knife, asking if they should grab the green‑clothed ones and Liu He.

"Be honest!" Zhou Xuan glared, lifted his chin, putting on a fierce look.

Too bad Liu He and the others were busy being scared, having no time to appreciate his performance.

Jin Chen took Jiang Chen's hand, slightly lifted his chin, and looked toward Liu He.

"Apologize to Jiang Chen."

Liu He gritted his teeth, feeling only resentment.

He had finally gotten everything he wanted!

An apocalypse destroyed all he had, while someone he could never have gotten, just by clinging to a big thigh, … ended up flying up a branch, rendering all his efforts futile!

Jin Chen lowered his voice, calm and light.

"Stare again, and I'll gouge out your eyes."

Zhou Xuan startled, quickly made a motion to raise his knife.

While thinking inside, "I, the concubine, can't do that," he angrily shouted.

"Even at death's door you dare to be stubborn! You're just tired of living."

After scolding, he still had to recall the core socialist values in his mind.

Liu He trembled all over from fright; though his resentment remained, he could only hold it in, sobbing as he apologized for his past deeds.

Even though he knew the full story, hearing the instigator's apology still struck Jiang Chen as absurd.

Just for a promotion to deputy chief physician, Liu He would actually go to such lengths.

Jiang Chen listened to Liu He repeat "sorry" over and over, only feeling annoyed.

He tilted his head, leaning slightly on Jin Chen's shoulder, not wanting to look at the bowing apologizer.

"I won't forgive you; saying sorry ten thousand times is useless."

Just thinking about it now, with the apocalypse and zombies everywhere, nobody can guarantee how long they'll live; Jiang Chen also didn't want to keep his past grievances bottled up.

Unable to kill Liu He, but in the apocalypse… life and death are fated after all.

"You may go."

"That means to drive them away."

Liu He still wanted to say something, but the perceptive Zhou Xuan covered his mouth and dragged him away, "Stop nagging; if you keep nagging, Brother Jin will knife you."

Jin Chen pinched Jiang Chen's shoulder, "Why not teach him a lesson?"

"Waste of time."

Jiang Chen shook his head and told Jin Chen what he thought.

"Even if I killed him, the rumors I suffered seem… impossible to erase."

Jin Chen understood, embraced Jiang Chen and patted his back, offering silent comfort.

Jiang Chen leaned on Jin Chen's shoulder, his brow twitching; what he didn't tell Jin Chen was that he had already tampered with things.

If the apocalypse hadn't come, Liu He still couldn't have steadily earned the title of deputy chief physician.

He had already avenged this grudge; now he just feels more relieved.

——

To give Jin Chen directions, the new boss deliberately followed the team upstairs to gather supplies.

Jin Chen still had a gun loaded with bullets; the new boss and a few underlings dared not defy him in the slightest, following them upstairs and then guarding the several exits to keep zombies from entering.

The new boss began to doubt his own eyes.

He was held left and right by Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu, staring wide‑eyed as Jin Chen stuffed a plastic bag four times the size of a backpack, filled with instant food, into it.

And then the backpack showed no bulge at all!

This wasn't over yet; over the next ten or so minutes, the new boss kept refreshing his worldview again and again.

Fitting that huge bag of snacks and vegetarian food was already pushing it—but why could you even cram in a dozen or so palm-leaf fans?

And what's that you're holding—a straw mat pad? Is that even something you can stuff into a bag?

You definitely shoved over twenty bottles of mosquito repellent in there.

Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu exchanged a look, took a deep breath, and stayed composed.

It's nothing special—after seeing their day-and-night roommate gun down a dark faction and then witnessing inhuman zombies, they've already weathered big storms.

Even if Jin Chen's backpack seems to have extra space, it's at best barely acceptable.

Plus, just casually sweeping through the supermarket is absolutely exhilarating.

Jiang Chen, however, wasn't so composed—he grabbed Jin Chen's wrist and tried to talk him down.

"I don't think we need a bunch of electric fans… we have no power."

Jin Chen froze, still gripping his schoolbag straps, "Yeah."

"We can go fetch a generator!"

"According to the original storyline, we still have at least half a year before the apocalypse ends."

Jiang Chen: "…"

That's pretty impressive.

Jin Chen sounded regretful: "Actually, there's not much left here either."

Most of the instant food and useful supplies had already been cleared out two days ago.

"Right, I'll head upstairs to grab some raw food we can cook over a fire."

Jin Chen patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, "Upstairs there's a wandering zombie; Brother Chen, wait here."

"I'll be down shortly to find you."

Jiang Chen ruffled his hair, "Stay safe."

The new boss insisted again and again that he wouldn't do anything else—after all, Jin Chen had personally raised him.

Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu bolted to the rooftop to sweep, following Liu Zhi and the two girls.

Jiang Chen calmly regarded the new boss, "Don't have any ulterior motives."

"I know." The new boss offered an apologetic smile, "Please… feel free to take whatever you like."

Those words practically made him snivel and tear up.

After watching him return to the first-floor lobby, Jiang Chen looked away, grabbed a few bottles of alcohol from the corner's sanitary nook, and slipped them into his pocket.

His fingertips brushed the cold fine chain, and Jiang Chen remembered that Jin Chen had entrusted him with the necklace that day.

He took it out and examined it closely, thinking that since Jin Chen carried it close to his body it must be important, and he planned to return it later.
