Chapter 1308: Hot-Blooded College Guy, Online Zombie Slaying 30
Jin Chen and the two others headed toward the source of the sound, the wind in the wilderness raged, the whistling somewhat affecting their judgment.
Fortunately, they soon found their target.
"Looks like a family," Zhou Xuan said, peeking out to observe.
Two men and one woman were running ahead, occasionally looking back, with two zombies chasing them; the elderly woman in the middle walked slowly, and the earlier cries for help and sobs came from her.
Jin Chen observed carefully, confirming there were no other zombies nearby, and said, "Let's save them."
The three leapt down the slope and rushed toward them; Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu, in tacit understanding, blocked the people behind them and drew daggers for defense.
Jin Chen stood in front, swiftly shooting and killing.
"Ah!"
The gunshot frightened the little girl into a scream, she almost fell; Jin Chen grabbed her arm, lifted her, and flung her back, shouting, "Zhou Xuan! Take them to the rear!"
"Sure!"
Seeing the zombies closing in, Jin Chen sped up his shooting; this time killing one zombie required four bullets.
Jin Chen looked at the two corpses on the ground, his brow furrowed.
The zombies' evolution speed is increasing, which is definitely not good news for humanity.
【In less than a month the research institute will come looking for us… or, Host, would you like to try contacting their doctor?】
【No, too troublesome.】
Jin Chen dragged the two corpses, glanced back, and saw Zhou Xuan and Liu Zhi already leading the four people away.
He snapped his fingers, and the flames wrapped in Spiritual Power instantly incinerated the corpses without harming the surrounding plants in the slightest.
After the two zombies' bodies burned to ash, ensuring the virus would not spread again, Jin Chen then turned and left.
To be safe, they brought the four rescued people back to the farm.
After an emotional round of self‑introductions, they learned it was indeed a family of four: the man was named Zhang Si, and the three women were his wife, his sister, and his mother.
Zhang Xiao Mei was the girl who had just been pulled up by Jin Chen after her fall; she seemed unable to forget her savior, or perhaps she was impressed by Jin Chen's swift shooting. She came to the wooden house, where her family marveled at the abundant food and safe surroundings, yet Zhang Xiao Mei kept asking Zhou Xuan three times why their benefactor had not returned.
"He'll be back after killing the zombies, jeez, what era is this to still call him a benefactor?" Zhou Xuan chuckled, shaking his shoulders.
Ru Meng brought out food and supplies from the house, enough for the family of four to leave the mountain safely.
"Sorry, the farm is no longer suitable for living; take these supplies and go."
Ru Meng is cautious by nature; although these four were chased by zombies, their origins are unknown, and there could be other dangers.
Having come from a hell‑like city, this place felt like paradise; Zhang Si could not bear to leave easily, gazing at a basket full of food, he wept and begged.
"Please, let us stay! We can help out!"
Although Zhang Si was pleading, he was looking at Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu, the two men, and seemed unaware that the one who had just been in charge was Ru Meng.
Zhou Xuan stepped back a few paces, saying, "Brother, I have no authority; the farm's boss is here."
Ru Meng still had no intention of letting them stay; she was about to refuse again when she heard the elderly woman cry out and collapse to the ground.
"Mom! What's wrong, Mom!"
Zhang Si hurried over to help, pleading to let them go inside and rest a while.
Ru Meng had no choice; she gestured for Ru Yue to open the wooden door.
Inside, Jiang Chen was initially stunned; after hearing Zhou Xuan's brief explanation, he had them help the elderly woman sit up and observed her for a while.
"She's just overly fatigued and frightened; a glucose shot will do."
Jiang Chen went to the back room, fetched a glucose shot, twisted it open, and gave it to her on the spot.
Zhang Xiao Mei saw the remaining shredded chicken and watermelon on the table, swallowed, and asked, "Can I eat…"
She clutched her stomach pitifully, "I'm really hungry."
Ru Yue: "Sure, go ahead."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Mei lunged forward and gulped down the food; Zhang Si also helped himself without hesitation, while Zhang's wife felt a bit embarrassed and only took a small piece of watermelon.
The elderly Zhang, having recovered, suddenly knelt before them and clutched Ru Meng's hand tightly.
"Miss! Even if I, an old woman, beg you, my son is capable—let him stay! He'll surely be of help!"
"Besides… I, I can cook; I can work as your maid!"
The elderly Zhang kept wailing, Ru Meng's hand aching from being pulled, she said, "Let go first!"
"Hey! Let go quickly!" Zhou Xuan pried open the elderly Zhang's hand, saying, "There's no one like you…"
But the nonstop wailing—these were just raw‑recruits, young people who couldn't withstand it.
Jiang Chen observed for a long time, then calmly asked, "Are you just passing by, or do you know there's a farm here?"
Zhang Si finally found a moment to reply, "We were forced into a dead end, hoping to go up the mountain and seize an opportunity!"
The few companions discussed for a while, but Ru Meng still hesitated—after all, there were four of them, and it wasn't as simple as adding an extra pair of chopsticks.
Jiang Chen: "My opinion is to keep them here for observation first."
He glanced at the four people devouring the food on the table and said, "The farm is very remote; getting here via the Pan Shan Gong Lu is difficult, and relying solely on walking… it's impossible without taking a detour."
Chu Shu exclaimed, "Brother Chen, you mean… they know there's a farm here?"
Ru Meng understood his meaning, "Rather than letting them lurk in the dark watching us, it's better to keep them right under our noses."
That's indeed reasonable.
"All right, then let them stay."
