Chapter 191: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 09

Jiang Junshen listened to their boastful words, completely gave up communicating with them, turned to look at Jin Chen, his tone faintly questioning.

"As captain, is this how you teach your subordinates?"

"You're meddling too much; how I teach my subordinates is none of your business."

Jin Chen rolled his eyes, "It's the apocalypse, not a dynasty—stop acting like a crown prince."

"Beyond saving."

Jiang Junshen exhaled, thoroughly provoked, he waved his hand toward the door, and crackling electricity instantly appeared in the void, containing power.

He wanted to give these clueless people a lesson.

Who would have thought Jin Chen merely glanced at them, shielded Yu Rongzhou in his arms, and his fierce gaze instantly turned toward Jiang Junshen.

A mental seal instantly bound Jiang Junshen.

The wonder of psychic abilities lies in needing no incantation, being undetectable—truly killing invisibly; although it demands immense mental power from ability users, for Jin Chen it's nothing.

The moment he was sealed, Jiang Junshen sensed something wrong, but when he tried to resist, his body still couldn't move freely, his half-formed ability was forced to stop, the electricity vanished, and only after ten seconds did he recover.

At that moment he finally realized how terrifying this person and this team were.

In this perilous apocalypse, not to mention ten seconds—even being sealed for three seconds could mean dying without a burial, since zombies don't care whether you can use your abilities.

Everyone witnessed their clash.

The troops in combat uniforms immediately aimed their guns at Jin Chen, fearing they'd make another move.

Jiang Junshen, however, had other plans.

If such a team truly became enemies of Long Jiang Base…

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of apprehension crossing his gaze; his father would never allow this, so it'd be better to bring them into the base for their own use.

He gestured to the people behind him to lower their guns, his attitude softening.

"Zhao Qiang's death—if he brought it on himself, then we won't hold it against you; in the apocalypse survival is hard enough, why would humans stir up internal conflict? You're mercenary squads, surely you're here to collect Long Jiang Base's bounty list."

"On behalf of Long Jiang Base's senior leadership, I welcome your arrival; the road is dangerous, you might as well travel together."

Jiang Junshen's words were pleasant—he'd essentially laid out steps for Jin Chen to descend; now it's up to him whether he'll take them.

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Oh, do you not mind that my Yumeiren has killed some of your ability users before?"

"What that gentleman just said is right—dying a few people in the apocalypse is normal; moreover, research inherently carries risk. As long as the Red Blood Squad wishes to be on good terms with the base, past grievances can be wiped clean." Jiang Junshen continued.

Yu Rongzhou suddenly laughed.

His gaze, like a poisonous snake, swept over the dazed Xu An, the mockery and teasing in his eyes clearly visible.

"This is what your Young Master personally promised; since the charges can't be cleared, even if a few more die after entering Long Jiang Base, it shouldn't matter, right?"

Hearing Jiang Junshen's words, Xu An took several deep breaths, his blood seeming to freeze throughout his body.

"No, no—cannot!"

"How could Yu Rongzhou return to the base again? If the matter were exposed…"

Xu An hardly dared to imagine the consequences he'd face.

He shook his head in rejection, grabbing Jiang Junshen's arm: "Jiang bro, the previous incident blew up so badly; the base people, and even Uncle Jiang, definitely wouldn't agree to let Yu Rongzhou go back!"

"No, they will agree."

Jiang Junshen naturally had his own plan: if his father learned of this team, after absorbing them, it would be easy to find an opportunity to kill the insignificant Yu Rongzhou.

His inner ruthlessness wouldn't show; outwardly he remained the model of a virtuous gentleman.

"What do you think, Captain Jin?"

The three members of the Red Blood Squad also looked to Jin Chen, following his decision.

Yu Rongzhou again lightly tugged at Jin Chen's hem, his eyes flickering; Jin Chen noticed and patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"Fine, I agree."

He also forced a fake smile: "Since you put it that way, wiping the slate clean isn't impossible."

Jin Chen stressed the four words "wipe the slate clean" heavily, as if implying something.

【0731, does Jiang Junshen have the aura of the Curse-extinguishing Flower?】

【No, Host, I don't sense it; Xu An also has none. Perhaps that insider fears our detection and has restrained himself?】

【Alright, keep monitoring—don't let the Curse-extinguishing Flower have an opening.】

In this negotiation everyone harbored their own thoughts, but regardless of what comes later, at least for now they've reached a peaceful point.

No matter how Xu An refuses, he cannot change Jiang Junshen's orders.

He originally pursued Jiang Junshen for the medicinal research; after being together, Jiang Junshen merely warmed his attitude a bit, and aside from that there was hardly any romantic feeling between them.

Xu An dared not provoke Jiang Junshen, so he could only grit his teeth and agree, while inwardly pondering how to kill Yu Rongzhou on the road.

Jin Chen summoned all members of the Red Blood Squad to the RV for a meeting.

He still clung like a boneless koala to Yu Rongzhou's shoulder, not wanting to leave for a moment.

"Can you let go? I'm hot."

Yu Rongzhou glanced at him sideways.

"Zhao Huan, turn on the air conditioner." Jin Chen didn't budge; instead he held on even tighter.

"……" Yu Rongzhou resigned.

He had never encountered such a thick-skinned person; for a moment he truly didn't know how to respond.

"Any doubts? Speak up."

Jin Chen knew the three of the Red Blood Squad doubted his decision, so he came up to explain.

Zhao Rui spoke first: "Jin Team, we naturally obey you, but we just can't fathom why we must absolutely enter Long Jiang Base."

"Stupid! Which is the biggest base nearby?" Jin Chen asked lazily.

"Long Jiang Base." Zhao Rui answered truthfully.

That's exactly it—once we get there, we'll slaughter them badly and run; isn't that faster than roughing it and killing zombies?

Jin Chen threw him a glance, "Got it?"

You really think that? Yu Rongzhou spoke suddenly, glanced sideways at Jin Chen, tone somewhat hesitant.

Hmph, what else?

Jin Chen poked Yu Rongzhou's cheek, "Beauty, what do you think of my idea?"

Or... do you have something you want me to do?

Jin Chen's probing tone left Yu Rongzhou stunned for two seconds; after looking away as if nothing had happened, Yu Rongzhou spoke again.

Alright, no matter the purpose, what's important now is reaching Long Jiang Base safely; the journey is far, so don't get bitten by zombies, after all Long Jiang Base doesn't have any special medicine.

Jin Chen tapped the table, "Right, Beauty? You were a researcher before, you should know this better than anyone."

Hmm.

The news of the C4 Potion hasn't been officially spread yet; they definitely won't know.

Yu Rongzhou lowered their eyes, not continuing the topic.

But in their heart, another idea arose.
