Chapter 209: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 27

Yu Rongzhou returned to the villa and only then learned that Jiang Junshen had been violently beaten by Jin Chen today.

Are you injured?

He looked somewhat tense, grabbing Jin Chen's arm as he asked.

Don't worry, he can't hurt me yet.

Jin Chen hadn't seen his wife all day, missing her terribly, so he immediately pulled Yu Rongzhou into his arms and held her tight, saying, "But they've also researched some creepy thing that's really scary, and they won't let me destroy it."

He roughly told the others what had happened today.

Zhao Huan and the others were completely bewildered.

Zhao Huan: "I don't understand. If we want to deal with zombies, developing the antitoxin serum should be the top priority, so why are they instead focusing on creating even more ferocious zombies?"

The two who shared this doubt looked hopefully at Jin Chen.

Yu Rongzhou gave the answer first.

Because Jiang Luo dreams of controlling all zombies, forcing the remaining humans to depend on him to survive.

Xu Yue was greatly shocked, "What feudal remnant."

Zhao Rui raised his hand, "But the zombie they created can't even defeat the Jin Team, and surely it can't control all zombies, right?"

Zhao Huan: "You think there are many people in this apocalypse who can beat the Jin Team?"

That's true too.

Zhao Rui silently lowered his raised hand and scratched the back of his head.

Looks like I need to speed up the progress.

Yu Rongzhou lay comfortably in Jin Chen's arms, eyes half-closed in laziness, her face calm, seeming not to regard this S‑class threat as any danger at all.

How is the serum blending now?" Jin Chen asked.

Not bad; it won't arouse their suspicion.

Yu Rongzhou yawned, rubbed her cheek against Jin Chen's chest, and said, "I'm sleepy."

Alright, let's go rest upstairs.

Jin Chen stroked his back, looked at the team members wearing aunt‑like smiles, chuckled, and urged, "You all should go to sleep early."

Sure thing!

The night was deep and quiet.

0731 pondered the heart device in space, unable to figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Why does he keep feeling like he's seen this thing somewhere, yet he just can't recall it no matter what?

Its furry paws were almost rubbing its head bald, so it finally decided to tell the boss everything and let him handle it!

0731 made a snap decision, grabbed the device in its mouth, and jumped onto the transfer platform.

Boss! Boss! Boss!

The door to the main control room was flung open, and 0731's white figure shot inside in an instant.

Ling Duan Bai Ze's head ached from the noise, and he wearily opened his eyes.

What's wrong again?

Take a quick look at this! It feels so familiar, yet I just can't remember!

0731 dropped the heart device at Bai Ze's feet.

Huh?

Bai Ze used his sense to detect the aura, and indeed caught a very familiar scent.

It silently searched its sea of consciousness and finally locked onto it.

Could it be…?

Who is it? Who is it? I want to hear too!" 0731 kept rubbing its head against Bai Ze's leg, practically begging to be told the answer written on its face.

Bai Ze shoved it over, a smile glinting in his beastly eyes.

You can't know yet; we'll talk when you're older.

How can a system grow up… Boss, you're just bluffing me.

0731 flopped back down, muttering.

Bai Ze paused in his actions, realizing he had almost let the secret slip.

Anyway, it's not the time to know yet; I'm only suspecting and will keep investigating—go back now.

Fine, fine." 0731 sighed.

It really worries the system to death.

——

Five days later.

Yu Rongzhou successfully developed a serum effective for three days.

This research result is almost a qualitative leap.

Jiang Luo was overjoyed, personally leading all the high‑ranking officials to the laboratory.

Jin Chen and the other members of the Red Blood Squad were, of course, also present.

When demonstrating the effect, Yu Rongzhou produced a red and a blue serum.

Jiang Junshen was puzzled, "Why are there two? Do they need to be used together?"

No, this blue one is the upgraded C‑7 serum, which can cure humans infected with the virus for no more than three days.

Yu Rongzhou then picked up the other one: "The red SP‑01 serum grants immunity to the zombie virus; after injection, one will never be infected for life."

Upon hearing this, a high‑ranking official eased his breath, afraid he had misheard, "What—what? Never infected for life!"

He pushed aside the person standing in front of him, the flesh on his face trembling with excitement, his whole visage flushed, looking nothing like someone living in the apocalypse.

Yu Rongzhou also knows this person.

Liu Yi, one of the base's high-ranking officials, has ruthless methods, likes beauty, and is greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Hmm, you didn't hear wrong."

Yu Rongzhou looks toward Jiang Luo.

"General Jiang can have people try it, but the Sp-01 serum research is extremely difficult and complex; the materials available so far are only enough for me to develop seven doses."

"This..."

Jiang Luo obviously also finds it difficult.

The development of the Sp-01 serum was something he hadn't anticipated, but he was indeed pleased about it; even he himself feared being infected by the virus.

But... Yu Rongzhou, he currently does not fully trust him.

"This way, Sp-01 is extremely precious; why not have Captain Jin take one dose? His strength is formidable; he has become a pillar of the base."

Jiang Luo looked at the ever-silent Jin Chen who accompanied Yu Rongzhou.

If the serum has a problem, Yu Rongzhou would certainly not allow Jin Chen to be injected; if it's fine, it would still be a favor to Jin Chen.

The remaining six doses, divided among the few high-ranking officials, would be plenty.

"Yes! Yes! Hurry up and try it!" Liu Yi also eagerly urged.

Jin Chen chuckled, exchanging a glance with Yu Rongzhou.

As expected of his wife, he had long guessed that Jiang Luo was suspicious and would have himself injected.

"Yo, you're still pretty nice."

He feigned surprise, without hesitating even a moment, rolled up one sleeve.

The researcher behind Jiang Luo picked up the serum just demonstrated, drew it into a syringe, tapped Jin Chen's arm to make the vein rise, then pressed with a fingertip.

"Wait, I'll do it."

Yu Rongzhou saw the two were extremely close, involuntarily frowned, felt inexplicably uneasy.

He took the syringe from the researcher's hand without a word, gesturing that she could step back.

"This..."

The researcher looked at Jiang Luo, who nodded.

Anyway, with so many people watching here, even if one wanted to pull some trick, it couldn't be done.

Jin Chen naturally noticed Yu Rongzhou's slight jealousy; the smile in his eyes became a bit more genuine, and his other hand patted the shoulder of Yu Rongzhou's protective suit, as a reassurance.

The needle pierced, the serum was injected.

As Yu Rongzhou himself said, the genuine Sp-01 serum, after injection, can prevent zombie virus infection.

But he only developed five doses, which have already flowed into the blood of the five members of the Red Blood Squad.

So even if Jin Chen now injects the serum containing the zombie virus, nothing will happen.

Fifteen minutes later, Jin Chen remained vigorous, with no discomfort at all.

Now Liu Yi couldn't hold back.

"Quick! Quick, give me one too!"

He urged Yu Rongzhou.

"The remaining six doses of serum, I will hand them all over to General Jiang; as for how to distribute them, it's entirely up to him to decide."

Yu Rongzhou forced a faint smile.

"The few high-ranking officials who came today are indispensable to building the base; let's just inject them here."

Jiang Luo was very pleased; the people he brought today are all his confidants, plus himself makes five, which is more than enough.

"Okay."

Yu Rongzhou watched the researcher draw the serum separately and inject it into several people's arms; the curve of his smile deepened.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 20!】

"You've worked hard, Xiao Yu; from now on just rest well."

Jiang Luo couldn't hide the joy on his face, his attitude becoming even more enthusiastic.
