Chapter 1305: Hot-Blooded College Guy, Online Zombie Slaying 27

Jin Chen threw the person onto the bed, his arms feeling hot.

He shook his hand, had Ru Meng go out, then took from his space the medical equipment and supplies he'd brought from the hospital.

"Jin…"

Jiang Chen, who had just walked in, was a little surprised, "You intend to treat him yourself……no, you also know how to treat illness?"

According to reason, this world shouldn't be that way.

But with his wife's psychological barrier and shaking hands, doing a suturing operation would surely be unpleasant.

Thus Jin Chen firmly said, "I know a little."

"Just leave him to me, Brother Chen, go have dinner."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze gradually moving to the boy lying on the bed.

"I'll do it."

Jiang Chen suddenly became unusually insistent, "I'm a doctor; saving lives and healing the sick is my calling."

"But your hands……" Jin Chen still worried.

"Will you stay by my side?" Jiang Chen pulled Jin Chen's fingers, letting him feel his own pulse.

"Look, I'm already much better."

Seeing Jiang Chen's resolve, Jin Chen made space beside the bed, "Alright, I'll stay with you."

Jiang Chen's hindrance remained, and Jin Chen's attention stayed wholly on him, not giving the boy on the bed even a glance.

But the fully focused Jiang Chen apparently didn't notice this; he merely suppressed his chaotic thoughts, treating the patient in urgent need of care with a doctor's mindset.

Fortunately, Su Shan had virus antibodies in his body, seeming to have a constitution unlike ordinary people; after his wound was treated, his high fever gradually subsided, so quickly that even Jin Chen found it surprising.

No wonder he's the apocalypse's savior.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen's condition was poor; his hands trembled so badly that even Jin Chen's pressing and rubbing couldn't control them, his face had turned a bit pale, and overcoming his psychological barrier was obviously difficult.

【Su Shan's life signs are stable, where's the pill?】

0731 worriedly held a meeting; logically, they should wait for the savior to wake up before redeeming the first side‑quest reward.

But never mind!

【Side quest completed, reward points 500! Item exchange: Miraculous Pill~Please Host rest and claim!】

A white pill appeared in his palm; Jin Chen silently took a cup, dissolved it in the water.

"Brother Chen, drink some water quickly."

Jin Chen embraced Jiang Chen, letting him lean against him, and personally fed him the drink.

Jiang Chen tilted his head back to look at Jin Chen, clearly seeing his own reflection in Jin Chen's eyes, then glanced sideways at the boy on the bed.

"I'm a bit tired." Jiang Chen turned his gaze away, tilted his head to rest on Jin Chen's shoulder, and hooked his fingertip around Jin Chen's finger.

"Keep me company while I rest, okay?"

"Of course, but we need to eat first."

Jin Chen tightened his grip on his hand, led him out, and when closing the door glanced at Su Shan, "Should be fine, right?"

If he dies again, it won't be his concern.

In the front room, Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu were still discussing how that person looked very familiar.

Chu Shu had already come to believe it was his own hallucination, but Zhou Xuan suddenly slapped his thigh and bluntly said he had once seen that person's photo somewhere, sending them into a new round of reminiscence.

Ru Yue was almost piecing together that person's entire life from their guesses, and the more she listened, the more absurd it seemed.

"Why don't you two just say he sprang from a crack in a stone?"

"Hey!" Chu Shu slammed the table, "That's Sun Wukong; you're not allowed to slander my childhood male idol."

Ru Yue: "……" Not an Ultraman?

"You have quite a few childhood male idols."

"That's right." Chu Shu patted his belly, suddenly sat upright, "Brother Jin, how is that person? Is he still alive?"

Jin Chen: "He's still alive; you guys keep watch tonight."

"Eh, sure."

——

Ru Meng arranged for them to share the same room, saying the farm had never had this many people before, so rooms were insufficient.

Jin Chen naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

After eating noodles, Jiang Chen happily took a shower to wash away his fatigue, then Jin Chen pressed him onto the bed, urging him to rest quickly to regain strength.

Tonight's sleeping conditions were far better than before; Jiang Chen was surprised to find that even his habit of not being able to sleep in a strange bed had been cured.

Jin Chen, being a big‑sleeper, with his wife lying beside him, soon fell into a deep, snoring sleep, sleeping quite soundly.

Jiang Chen, however, couldn't quite get to sleep.

He turned sideways to look at the flower bushes outside the window, bathed in faint starlight, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "The Su Shan you rescued today—do you really not know him?"

Jin Chen murmured an indistinct "uh" in his daze, not hearing clearly, and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"What?"

Jiang Chen then realized Jin Chen was already asleep, turned over with a faint chuckle, "Never mind……it's nothing."

"Go to sleep."

Jin Chen, thinking he suffered from bed‑aversion, closed his eyes, precisely wrapped his arms around his waist, pulled him closer into his embrace, lightly patted his back, his voice heavy with drowsy laziness.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jiang Chen responded with a hum, "I know."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but admit that even if he were slow‑witted he would feel his own heart flutter, let alone that he is usually keen.

Wonderful feeling and a caring throb—Jiang Chen's previously conventional life had never known this.

Even in the apocalypse, … it is precisely because of the apocalypse.

Jiang Chen rubbed against Jin Chen's neck, thinking they didn't have much time to misunderstand; every day of the apocalypse is worth cherishing.

He will still ask for clarification tomorrow.

——

On the other side of the city, the base's search for the person who stole the generator came up empty, and then they were notified that a big shot had arrived.

Upon inquiry, they found out it was actually the commander of the highest military district of Huaxia, who had come with a world-class research team to look for someone.

They had never heard the name Su Shan before.

And in the apocalypse, it's even less possible to find someone via surveillance.

But the research team's doctor believed Su Shan was here; after a thorough search inside and out, they only found the paper notebook Su Shan had left behind.

Even in the Green Zone, a beggar said he had once seen a handsome-looking youth who had caught the eye of the big boss of the Red Zone.

Following that lead, they ultimately only found the corpse of the so-called big boss, in the parking lot outside the red house.

Su Shan's whereabouts disappeared again; some in the team said he might have been rescued, but most believed Su Shan had already been killed.

Undoubtedly this is bad news; their virus research progress is about to stall, and humanity still cannot escape the panic of losing to the virus.

Dawn.

The crowing of chickens inside the farm woke the sleeping people.

Jin Chen, vexed, buried his head in the pillow, covered his face and kept sleeping, but not forgetting to hold tight to Jiang Chen so he wouldn't leave.

Jiang Chen laughed and cried at once, then gently slipped out of Jin Chen's embrace.

「Where are you going so early? 」

Jin Chen pulled his head out of the pillow, sleepy-eyed, lifted his head and looked.

「Go check on that patient's condition. 」

Jin Chen let out an oh, opened his eyes to stare at the ceiling, thought a bit, then sprang up quickly.

「I'll go too. 」

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, taking the opportunity of this topic to ask again the question he hadn't gotten an answer to last night.

「Do you know the patient who was rescued? 」

Jin Chen was wearing a short-sleeve; hearing this, he shook his head without hesitation.

「I don't know him. 」

「Then how did you know yesterday that his name was Su Shan? 」

Jin Chen: …… this,

Let me think how to say it.

Jiang Chen's tone softened a bit: 「Can't we say the answer to this question? 」

Jin Chen has too many secrets; Jiang Chen is merely afraid that Su Shan also knows these secrets, while he is the one being left out.

Jin Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized Jiang Chen's tone was odd.

He said seriously with a smile: 「His physique is special and directly related to the end of the apocalypse. 」

Jiang Chen was shocked: 「Ah? 」

He stared for several seconds, having thought the secret would be shocking, but not expecting it to be this shocking!

「So… Su Shan's fever won't subside, yet his body hasn't suffered much damage, also because of his special physique. 」

That makes sense, though it's still quite shocking.

His forefinger pressed against Jiang Chen's lips, Jin Chen's voice tinged with laughter: 「Chen-ge, keep it secret; next time you get jealous, remember to ask me too. 」

Jiang Chen: ……

What the heck.

Who's jealous?
