Chapter 188: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 06

What are you looking at?

Seeing Yu Rongzhou stop, Jin Chen followed his gaze and looked over, but didn't see anything.

"It's fine." Yu Rongzhou shook his head.

Zhao Rui and Xu Yue set up two small tents beside the RV, then took out the supplies for dinner and arranged them.

Xu Yue pointed at the RV and said, "Jin Team, tonight you and Mr. Yu will sleep in the RV together; I'll sleep with Rui, and Huan will sleep alone."

"Alright, go get the pot out."

Jin Chen picked out a few bags of instant noodles, held them up, and asked Yu Rongzhou, "Which flavor do you like, beauty?"

"I don't want to eat; you guys eat."

Yu Rongzhou's stomach still felt a bit uncomfortable; he sat aside, drank two sips of water to ease the occasional cramping.

"Not eating won't do, is your stomach still hurting?" Jin Chen sat beside him, his worry and heartache plainly visible.

"Hmm..."

Yu Rongzhou responded with a sound, his voice much softer.

"Wait, I'll go get you some stomach medicine." Jin Chen stroked Yu Rongzhou's cheek, his fingertips rubbing, "I didn't even say anything earlier, silly."

He got up and walked toward the RV.

【0731, any medicine for stomach ailments?】

【Only Clove Pill, which warms the stomach and moves qi, might help a bit, 100 points.】

【Redeem.】

【Ding! Host redeemed Clove Pill, points -100, remaining 4300!】

A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand; Jin Chen looked around inside the RV, found a cup, poured water, and carried it out.

Seeing that he really brought medicine down, Yu Rongzhou tilted his head in doubt, "Your RV… even has stomach medicine?"

"It's a handy essential for home and travel; who knows, maybe one day it'll come in handy for a hero saving a beauty." Jin Chen smiled, handing the water cup and pill to his lips.

Yu Rongzhou cautiously leaned in to sniff, discovered it was actually a herbal pill, raised his eyes to look at the smiling Jin Chen, "Where did you get this medicine?"

"Why worry so much? I wouldn't poison you."

Jin Chen winked at him, acting like he was keeping a secret.

"Who knows."

Amused by his demeanor, Yu Rongzhou slightly curled his lips, took the pill, swallowed it, and drank water with Jin Chen's hand.

System-made, must be quality.

Yu Rongzhou was surprised to find that after the pill entered his stomach, within two or three minutes his lingering stomach cramps eased considerably, and he couldn't help but glance at Jin Chen again.

This person has plenty of secrets, too.

"Jin Team, Mr. Yu, come eat the noodles! They're so fragrant!"

Not far away, Zhao Rui saw the two hadn't come over yet and shouted.

"Coming."

Jin Chen took Yu Rongzhou's hand and said, "Now your stomach doesn't hurt, you can eat the noodles."

Zhao Rui and Xu Yue boiled a big pot of instant noodles with solid alcohol blocks, even luxuriously adding a few instant sausages; for those wandering the apocalypse, this already counts as a lavish dinner.

Zhao Huan ladled a bowl of instant noodles for Yu Rongzhou, smiling, "Mr. Yu, eat up, otherwise my brother and the others will finish it all."

"Nonsense, I saved plenty!"

Zhao Rui felt his sister was slandering him.

Jin Chen also laughed, "No problem, whoever eats the most will just wash the dishes later."

The Red Blood Squad here was filled with laughter and chatter, the aroma of instant noodles filling the air, while the escort team on the other side of the RV had a much more solemn atmosphere.

They had been trudging along the road for a long time, each day relying on bland canned food and bread to stave off hunger; logically, having something to eat in the apocalypse is already not bad, but today, having the Red Blood Squad as a comparison, they inevitably felt shabby.

Moreover, they were the team responsible for confidential escort at Long Jiang Base, yet they weren't even as good as an ordinary mercenary squad, and gradually complaints arose.

Zhou Chen heard this and increasingly felt that traveling with the Red Blood Squad was a mistaken choice.

These people are really hateful!

He swallowed his bread, glared at several soldiers, "What are you all hemming and hawing about! Hurry up and finish eating to replenish sleep!"

"Zhao Qiang, what are you looking at?" Wang Li Li saw him staring fixedly at the corner of those people's RV and couldn't help asking.

"I saw someone whose looks really suit my taste."

Zhao Qiang chuckled, shoved the half-eaten bread into his mouth, and strode straight toward the Red Blood Squad.

"Hey!" Wang Li Li knew this guy was a lecher, especially fond of good-looking men, and she also wanted to dampen their spirits, so she didn't stop him.

Zhao Qiang walked up to Yu Rongzhou's side, saw him sitting quietly in a corner, couldn't help but be overjoyed, rubbing his hands, "Isn't this a perfect opportunity!"

"You're not part of this team, are you?" Zhao Qiang initiated the topic.

Yu Rongzhou lifted his gaze, his eyes extremely cold, realizing this person was the same one who had given him that sticky gaze earlier, and a feeling of nausea welled up inside him.

"Get lost."

"Yo, your temper's pretty spicy."

Zhao Qiang showed no intention of backing off; instead, he grew more excited, his lecherous gaze seeming to solidify, continually shifting over Yu Rongzhou's face.

"You also know our identity; why not join us and enlist at Long Jiang Base? I guarantee you'll be safe and sound in the apocalypse."

He leaned in ever closer.

The aura around Yu Rongzhou grew colder and colder; upon hearing Zhao Qiang's words, his killing intent surged instantly.

He curled his lips, his eyes deep as an abyss, like black mist that cannot disperse.

In the next second, ice and snow flew up, cold mist spreading everywhere.

An extremely sharp ice spear pierced Zhao Qiang's outstretched arm, blood dripping onto the ground and congealing into frost.

One drop, two drops……

Zhao Qiang finally reacted, letting out a miserable, shrill scream, repeatedly stepping back; in Yu Rongzhou's laughter, he burst with anger, his uninjured hand clinging to the metal, intending to smash it down directly.

Yu Rongzhou was about to counterattack, but seeing the man striding over and the worry and tension on his face, he suddenly withdrew his hand, smiling faintly and letting the metal fall.

"Be careful!"

Jin Chen shouted urgently, Spiritual Power forming a shield before Yu Rongzhou, and in his peach-blossom eyes rose a killing intent that filled the sky.

The others finally noticed what was happening here, but it was already too late.

Jin Chen rushed over, curling his fingers into hooks, and from empty air seized Zhao Qiang's throat; his mental energy surged like a wave, drilling into his mind and sending out a powerful shockwave.

"Ahhhh—"

His mental power felt as if struck by a bomb; Zhao Qiang felt his head about to explode from pain, his eyes bloodshot and bulging, his body spasming uncontrollably, his face turning purple.

"Zhao Qiang!!"

Zhou Chen shouted, about to rush over, but his path was blocked by an earth escape.

"Damn! Get out of the way!"

He roared, flames igniting in his palm and sweeping forward, but he could not withstand the coordinated attack of Zhao Rui and Xu Yue.

"Who the hell are you cursing, damn it!" Zhao Rui had long disliked this bunch; seeing Jin Chen teaching that big oaf a lesson, he rushed over to help.

The warehouse instantly descended into chaos.

Yu Rongzhou watched the back that blocked him, his eyes flickering several times, a fleeting emotion crossing his face, and his lips unconsciously curved upward.

He looked at Zhao Qiang, already on the verge of suffocation; the nauseous feeling from before had not yet faded, and without hesitation he conjured another ice cone, piercing Zhao Qiang's heart, eyes, and lower body.

This time his miserable scream was brief and desperate; Zhao Qiang collapsed like a rag, and Jin Chen threw him back to the escort team's side.
