Chapter 195: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 13

His attitude was no longer icy, even somewhat urgent, making Jin Chen's heart ache, and he hugged the person to comfort them.

You don't need to apologize to me; just make sure there isn't a next time.

Jin Chen cupped Yu Rongzhou's cheek and said, "Let me see—did we injure this face of our Yu Xiaozhou that the Creator himself favored?"

Hearing his light tone and seeing him return to his usual teasing manner, Yu Rongzhou breathed a sigh of relief and glanced up, glaring at him.

Nonsense again.

【Villain Heartthrob Value +20, total 45!】

The two walked hand in hand to the supermarket; Yu Rongzhou, still shaken by his words, lowered his head to sort out his emotions.

Just then, an accident occurred.

A huge steel frame fell from the apartment window at great speed, straight toward Yu Rongzhou.

【Host, be careful!! Overhead!】

0731 had just finished digesting the dark power, looked up at the screen, and was so frightened his hair stood on end.

Jin Chen's ear twitched at the swift whoosh; his expression changed instantly as he lunged to the side with Yu Rongzhou, arms shielding the latter's head. The steel frame slammed into the ground just then, wires snapping wildly and slicing Jin Chen's arm, the impact deafening.

He frowned and looked up, catching only a scrap of clothing and a retreating silhouette from the window.

"Jin Chen!"

Yu Rongzhou reacted, scrambled to his feet, and upon seeing the wound on Jin Chen's arm, his breath hitched for a moment before he hurriedly helped Jin Chen up and grabbed his phone to check.

The wound was pitch‑black, clearly poisoned from the steel frame.

He was all too familiar with such wounds; the same mark had appeared on his chest when a zombie bit him—it was zombie blood.

"I'm fine… huh?"

Jin Chen had thought it was an ordinary wound, but lifting his arm revealed otherwise: "Is this… poisonous?"

He glanced at the shattered steel frame and raised an eyebrow slightly.

【Host! I'll find out who did this right now!】

0731 was almost scared to death.

【No rush, go straight to check Xu An.】

As long as Yu Rongzhou wasn't hurt, Jin Chen calmly concluded it could only have been Xu An's doing.

He lowered his gaze to Yu Rongzhou and asked, "Zhouzhou, do you know what poison this is?"

"Zombie toxin."

Yu Rongzhou's tone grew grave as he gripped Jin Chen's arm, saying, "Hurry back to the RV; I'll inject you with the potion."

"Huh? Zombie toxin." Jin Chen gasped, imagining himself turning into a zombie—his wife would surely never like him again.

He said solemnly, "Let's go."

This time the two returned to the supermarket unimpeded, under the surprised or worried gazes of others, and went straight into the RV.

Xu An saw that the two showed no abnormalities, felt no panic about zombie infection, assumed the plan had failed, and stared at a nearby team member.

That team member also found it strange; he clearly saw the wire slash the Red Blood Squad captain's hand, and although it hadn't injured Yu Rongzhou as planned, they weren't exactly calm either.

"Zhao Rui, Xu Yue, guard the RV and don't let anyone approach."

Jin Chen gave the order, then he and Yu Rongzhou got into the vehicle.

"All right, Jin Team!"

"No, no."

Xu An frowned, staring fixedly at the opposite RV.

If he really weren't poisoned, how could he have avoided it alone?

He decided to test the waters, got up, and walked over with a feigned, wholehearted demeanor.

"What's going on with you two? Is there anything I can help with?"

Xu An walked up to the RV, chatted with Zhao Rui and the other two, but his eyes kept glancing inside.

"What are you looking at? Mind your own business."

Zhao Rui blocked his view; although he didn't know what Jin Team and Yu Dabo were up to inside, he simply couldn't let these people find out.

"I mean well, after all—I'm also a researcher at Long Jiang Base; if anything happens I can still help."

"Come on, Yu Dabo is a researcher too—do we really need you?"

Xu Yue lost patience, raised his fist, and shouted at Jiang Junshen, "Hey, I'm telling you to keep your men in check and stop running around."

Zhao Huan saw Xu An immediately back down, snorted with mockery, and said, "If you don't dare cause trouble, don't harbor all those schemes."

Jiang Junshen didn't even know when Xu An had run over; for now their top priority is to steady these people, everything can wait until they reach the base, but they can't let Xu An sabotage his father's plan.

His tone was unpleasant, "Xiao An, come here."

No matter how curious or nervous Xu An felt, he dared not defy Jiang Junshen's words, only returning unwillingly.

Meanwhile, inside the RV.

The wound was deep and long; fearing it would stick to his clothes and fester, Jin Chen stripped to the waist, revealing his firm abs, while Yu Rongzhou didn't even glance at him, his entire focus on the injury.

Jin Chen failed to boot his device, so he simply lay on the table, head resting on his other arm, side‑eyeing Yu Rongzhou with a faint smile.

"Zhouzhou worries about me so much."

Yu Rongzhou said nothing, placed ice on the table to cool it, then wiped the grime from around Jin Chen's arm wound clean.

After donning gloves, he took out the remaining C4 potions from the silver case, flicked the syringe, and injected it into Jin Chen's arm vein.

He performed the injection meticulously, then, somewhat tense, lifted his gaze to Jin Chen and asked, "Any discomfort?"

The C4 potion isn't perfected; there's a tiny chance of rejection, minuscule though it is, but he still worries Jin Chen's body might not adapt to it.

Jin Chen felt it carefully.

"None."

He shook his head, "Just feel my arm starting to go numb."

"That's a normal phenomenon."

Yu Rongzhou let out a breath of relief, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

He sat beside Jin Chen and tidied up his things.

"Let Zhao Huan come over to treat you; medicine can only eliminate poison, not heal the wound."

Yu Rongzhou found another blanket and covered Jin Chen with it.

"Oh," Jin Chen lowered his head, glanced, and chuckled, "Zhouzhou has a strong possessive streak—I love it."

"..." His petty thought was exposed; Yu Rongzhou gave him an annoyed glance and didn't respond.

Jin Chen opened the car window, "Zhao Huan, come up for a moment."

"Here, Jin Team."

Zhao Huan heard someone calling him and immediately turned and got into the car.

Upon entering, he saw Jin Chen without clothes, Yu Rongzhou sitting nearby with a flushed face, and there were paper balls on the table!

She took a deep breath and covered her eyes.

"I didn't see anything!"

Jin Chen was speechless, "It's still early; stop thinking nonsense, come over and help me treat this."

"Ah?! You're injured!"

Zhao Huan stepped forward, his expression turning serious; he saw a long gash on Jin Chen's arm and immediately used his special ability to treat him.

"Jin Team, Xu An over there has been trying to get on the car; could your injury be his doing?"

Hearing Zhao Huan's words, Jin Chen glanced at Yu Rongzhou, whose expression shifted instantly, and said lightly, "Probably someone he hired."

【Yes, Host! Xu An found one of their team members, lured him with a Crystal Core to do the job, but that person was timid, didn't dare use the blood of a living corpse, directly drew a tube of dead corpse's blood on the ground; the poison shouldn't be strong.】
