Chapter 1320: Hot-Blooded College Guy, Online Zombie Slaying 42
On the other side of the laboratory.
As the medicine's effect wore off, Jiang Chen crawled out from the corner, steadied himself on the spot, and recalled what had just happened.
This place is safe, Jiang Chen knows; in a daze he felt that Jin Chen had already killed the nearby zombies.
Jin Chen.
Jiang Chen gazed in the direction Jin Chen had left, pressing his chest to reassure himself not to worry too much.
His current strength might not be much help in fighting zombies, but……
Jiang Chen turned his gaze and without hesitation entered the laboratory's main chamber.
Under the cold, stark laboratory lights, Jiang Chen's somewhat pallid face became even more bloodless.
Clearly weakened to the point that just standing took effort, yet he still pressed forward without hesitation.
Jiang Chen didn't want to hold them back; since Jin Chen was killing zombies, he could help fulfill Jin Chen's wish.
He walked over to the operating table and quickly put on lab gloves.
As the Old Doctor had previously guessed, he was a doctor and also a senior researcher whom the Supreme Organization had once tried to hire at great expense.
But compared to daily interaction with cold laboratory equipment, the former Jiang Chen preferred to save lives and heal the wounded, spending his time treating patients one by one.
Even after experiencing medical riots and severe trauma, Jiang Chen's mind is now more mature, yet he still hasn't changed this belief.
The good news is that facing the lab equipment, Jiang Chen temporarily has no psychological barrier, and his previously healed hand tremor makes preparation go more smoothly.
Relying on the laboratory's data and electronic intelligence research report, Jiang Chen quickly formulated a potion that would allow Su Shan to undergo blood factor separation without dying.
Even if this is only a prototype, as long as the direction is correct, subsequent attempts will surely not fail.
Behind the protective goggles, his eyes calm, his long hands took bottle after bottle of the half‑finished potion from the lab, and various theoretical formulas surfaced in his mind.
Letting Su Shan undergo the experiment is Jin Chen's goal; although Jiang Chen still doesn't fully understand, he will unreservedly do whatever Jin Chen wants to do.
The cold vapor dissipated; Jiang Chen took out the prototype potion and dripped it into the brains of the imprisoned zombies in the laboratory.
After observing the reaction, Jiang Chen's tense, indifferent expression finally showed a smile.
He had no time to continue; he gathered all the data, research reports, and the prototype potion, then hurried out of the laboratory.
By the time Jiang Chen arrived, his teammates had already, amid the astonished gazes of the research institute staff, nearly brought all the laboratory's zombies under control.
Meanwhile, the laboratory researchers had already seized the detox potion amid the chaos and fled; whatever remained had nothing to do with them.
Jin Chen set a large fire in the employee dormitory building, guiding the captured zombies toward destruction.
Flames mixed with spiritual aura can incinerate the zombie virus completely, leaving not even ash.
Naturally, Jin Chen couldn't let them witness this, so as the dormitory building collapsed, the research institute personnel only saw the zombies fall to the ground.
They were rescued by this group of college students.
"You damned thing, don't just idle either."
Jin Chen grabbed the Old Doctor, whose blood was quickly draining, and threw him straight into the fire.
"You still want to capture my wife? Die!"
Jin Chen muttered.
As if sensing it telepathically, Jin Chen turned just as Jiang Chen approached, and a large chunk of wall happened to fall behind him, slamming heavily to the ground.
Just like Jiang Chen's heartbeat at this moment.
He stuffed the data report and potion into Chu Shu's hands, then rushed toward Jin Chen's open embrace.
The two embraced beneath the smoke‑filled, swaying walls; Jiang Chen's body trembled slightly, whether from the fright of seeing Jin Chen nearly engulfed in flames moments ago or from hearing Jin Chen's words.
"You scared me to death." Jiang Chen began with a whiny, affectionate complaint.
Jin Chen soothed him by patting his head, "I'm getting revenge for you, it's fine."
He lowered his head and firmly kissed Jiang Chen's somewhat pallid lips, his fingertip lightly stroking.
"Don't be afraid."
Just moments ago his peach‑blossom eyes were filled with biting chill; now only gentleness visible to Jiang Chen remains.
【Villain Heartthrob Value detected: 10, total now 91!】
【Villain Blackening Value detected: -15, total now 25!】
Chu Shu clung to a pile of papers, at a loss what to do.
Afraid any sheet might blow away, he clutched them tighter than a barely passing fourth‑grade report card.
"You two… you two, let go of the hug for now."
Jiang Chen laughed and stepped out of the affectionate embrace.
Red Doctor obtained these few reports and data sheets, his heart and eyes filled with utmost excitement.
"Great! Great!"
"With these, we can quickly extract the substance that eliminates the virus!"
"Right… and Su Shan!"
Red Doctor sighed deeply, "We only got the notebook Su Shan left behind, which records the time he was experimented on; besides that, we can't obtain any other information."
Jin Chen held Jiang Chen tightly, and in an instant shifted from a cold‑blooded killer to a clingy accessory for his wife.
"In two days I'll take Su Shan to the Research Institute."
After learning the identities of the Research Institute members, Zhou Xuan gathered courage and asked, "If everything is ready, how soon can you eliminate the virus at the earliest?"
Red Doctor gave a relatively conservative estimate.
"After all, this is a global disaster; our team is world‑class, and launching virus‑eliminating shells from various countries also takes time."
Chu Shu slowly opened his mouth wide, "Mom, that's impressive—we haven't even graduated yet and we're already involved in a global‑scale project."
"Once society recovers, job hunting will come with confidence!"
Upon mentioning this, Jin Chen finally recalled the memory of being tossed into some obscure corner.
The reason the entire 618 dormitory joined the tour group's outing was to accompany him to relax.
He was unhappy because…… he had passed the exam, but because he frequently skipped classes and competitions, he hadn't earned enough credits.
Jin Chen sat up straight, and with a solemn face told Red Doctor: "Remember to send a report to the university later; it will earn extra credits."
Upon hearing this, the entire research institute burst into laughter, and a middle-aged researcher, smiling, asked Jin Chen which university he was from.
Jin Chen gave his name, and the middle-aged person stared for a few seconds, "You really are from this school?"
Zhou Xuan: "Absolutely guaranteed!"
Red Doctor chuckled, "What a coincidence—this person right here is your school's principal."
The 618 dormmates present: "!!!"
The two sisters from Home Inn laughed uncontrollably.
Zhou Xuan: "……Mom, how come I didn't know?"
Chu Shu: "Although big occasions… usually have the principal speaking, but……"
Jin Chen: "We've never gone even once."
Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise, his tone full of affectionate teasing: "Bad student."
Jin Chen complained with a grimace, lowering his brows: "But speeches at those occasions are really stinky and loooooong!"
Principal: "You are brave students, heroes, saviors—I will definitely announce it school-wide later, and make sure you get enough credits."
Jin Chen immediately clapped: "May good people be safe all their lives."
After the temporary parting, the entire research institute rushed back to the base center to conduct experiments with researchers from around the world.
The companions also returned to the farm.
After this incident, Su Shan opened up his heart, and he and Liu Zhi made dinner to welcome them back.
In the following days, things remained calm for the time being.
After Jiang Chen also examined his inner self, he became completely open with Jin Chen and deeply reliant on him.
The couple displayed their affection more frequently than before, to the point that the farm companions saw pink bubbles every time they opened their eyes.
In such an atmosphere, Liu Zhi seemed to suddenly unlock some emotional knot, no longer agonizing or hesitating.
Thus, after the companions endured several days of complaints, they successfully got double portions of dog food.
In response, the steadfast CP fan Liu Zhi pushed up his glasses and said, "I still think you two are meant to be."
Feeling disgusted, Zhou Xuan and Chu Shu on the spot started a fight with him.
Although he got beaten, Liu Zhi inexplicably picked up a mouthful of tacit understanding candy, felt content, and went to apply medicine to his long‑separated boyfriend.
The final light is about to arrive.
