Zhou Jinchen covered his mouth, but it was no use. He wanted to slap himself in the face.

Hearing the dense footsteps coming down the stairs, he broke out in a cold sweat and looked around.

After the apocalypse, vegetation grew wildly. There were no trees near the gas station, only patches of grass that grew so densely that they automatically formed haystacks.

But, it is too small and cannot hide anyone.

Zhou Jinchen looked down at Zhong Yi.

Silence for two seconds.

He picked up Zhong Yi and rushed over to stuff him into the overgrown haystack.

"Stay here and don't come out!"

Zhong Yi grabbed his hand: "What about you?"

Zhou Jinchen pulled his hand away, took a breath, and pushed Zhong Yi's head back, his voice hoarse: "Be good, be obedient."

He stuffed the backpack into Zhong Yi's hands, grabbed Xu Yan, and turned to run in the other direction.

It's strange that he was so afraid of Xu Yan before, but now he dared to grab her hand and drag her away.

Zhong Yi pursed his lips in the haystack, his dark eyes looking at the backs of Zhou Jinchen and Xu Yan through the gaps in the haystack.

Zhou Jinchen no longer had the mood to think about random things. He just wanted to run faster and faster.

They hadn't run far when they heard a gunshot behind them: "Stop!"

The bullet flew past the ground at his feet, creating sparks.

Zhou Jinchen's whole body was stiff, and he pulled Xu Yan to stand still, not daring to move.

Xu Yan felt threatened and turned around and wanted to rush over.

Zhou Jinchen's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He struggled for two seconds between letting go and not letting go. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Don't move!"

He didn't know whether Xu Yan could understand what he said, but since Xu Yan had brought him and Zhong Yi to jump down before, she should be able to understand what he meant.

When Xu Yan heard Zhou Jinchen's words, she stopped moving and stood quietly beside him.

The black-faced man brought a group of people and slowly walked over to surround the two of them. After seeing Xu Yan's appearance clearly, he smiled and his eyes moved around Xu Yan in a lewd manner.

Zhou Jinchen met the dark-faced man's gaze, frowned, and subconsciously blocked Xu Yan's way. The corners of his mouth cracked into a wide smile: "Hey, buddy, big brother, what are you doing?"

Hei Lian glanced at Zhou Jinchen unhappily: "Boy, is this your girlfriend? You leave her here and I'll let you go, how about that?"

Zhou Jinchen: “…”

The covetous look on Heimian's face was so obvious that even a dumb man could see it.

The people around looked as if they were used to it, and some even rubbed their hands and looked at Xu Yan with ill intentions.

Should he agree now? When this guy makes a move on Xu Yan, it would be fun if Xu Yan bites him.

But...Xu Yan is a zombie raised by the boss, and he can't let the boss be cuckolded.

I can't even die!

Thinking of this, he pulled Xu Yan behind him, completely blocking the sight of the dark face: "Brother, you are joking. She is so ugly and has a bad temper. How can she be worthy of you?"

Hei Lian's face darkened, his eyes sinister, and he slowly stroked the gun with his fingertips: "If you don't accept my toast, I'll drink the penalty!"

Zhou Jinchen looked at the gun and was so scared that his legs went weak.

His mind raced, and he quickly said, "We have another companion. She's incredibly beautiful, even the most beautiful female stars on TV can't compare to her. She's out for something now, but she'll be back soon. She's the one worthy of you, Big Brother!"

He raised his voice deliberately.

Heimian was stunned for a moment, stroking his chin and looking at him suspiciously: "Is there really such a good-looking person?"

Zhou Jinchen patted his chest and assured confidently, "Of course it's true. How could I dare to lie to you, big brother? As long as your brothers are well hidden and don't let her find out anything's wrong, she will definitely show up!"

"Boss, I think this guy is just fooling people. It's the end of the world, which woman would dare to run around alone?" San'er said to Heimian in a loud voice, not avoiding Zhou Jinchen at all.

Zhou Jinchen quickly raised his hand and swore, "Brother, I'm not lying. My life is in your hands. How dare I lie to you? I don't want to die."

"Our companion used to learn martial arts and is very powerful. If she hadn't led us, we would never have been able to run so far." Zhou Jinchen opened his eyes and spoke half-truthfully, but quite sincerely.

The bald man touched his head and said, "Boss, if he is really that powerful, he must be hard to deal with. How about just killing him?"

Zhou Jinchen's heart trembled: "No, no, I-I have a way to deal with her, really! She has always had a crush on me, you can use me to threaten her, it will work!"

It’s true, Zhou Jinchen has regular facial features and is quite handsome. He is tall and thin, which is indeed the type that many girls like.

Heimian thought about it and finally became interested in the stunning beauty that Zhou Jinchen described. He wanted to see if she was really as beautiful as a fairy.

If this person dares to lie to him, he has plenty of ways to torture him!

The black-faced man ordered Zhou Jinchen and Xu Yan to be tied up.

He walked up to Zhou Jinchen with a sneer and patted his face: "Boy, you'd better tell the truth. If you dare to lie to me, I'll let you taste the taste of grilled human flesh!"

Zhou Jinchen quickly shook his head and said with an apologetic smile, "Don't worry, big brother. I cherish my life very much."

The black-faced man waved his hand: "Take it away."

The haystack not far away was motionless and attracted no one's attention.

Zhou Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sky. It was getting dark.

They were taken back to the second floor and pushed into a room with sealed windows.

Zhou Jinchen was thrown in and the door closed.

"Hey, where's my girlfriend? She hasn't come in yet! Where are you taking my girlfriend?" Zhou Jinchen got up from the ground and shouted while banging on the door.

Someone outside sneered, "Who's your girlfriend? We only have the boss's woman here!"

"No, I really can't. She has a bad temper. What if she hurts Big Brother?" Zhou Jinchen said anxiously, "Let me tell you the truth. She has a mental problem. She's an intermittent psychopath who bites people!"

Zhou Jinchen took a breath. If they really wanted to do something to Xu Yan, he would let her bite him!

Take as many bites as you can!

Why hasn't the boss come back yet?!

After a while, the door opened and Xu Yan was pushed in.

Zhou Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked Xu Yan up and down. Her clothes were intact and had not been touched.

The door opened again and a sexy woman walked in dragging someone.

She glanced at Zhou Jinchen and sneered, "Don't worry, no one will touch her. However, once you get the beauty you mentioned, that might not be the case."

Shu Wen's voice was low and full of sarcasm.

She turned around, twisted her body and went out, and the door closed again.

Zhou Jinchen scratched his hair and muttered, "Are you reminding me? It doesn't seem like it."

He looked at the person who had just been dragged in. His clothes were disheveled and torn in many places, and the skin underneath was covered with bruises and scars.

Zhou Jinchen walked over carefully: "Hey, brother, you were arrested too? Are you okay?"

Zhang Huai didn't move and ignored him.

Because of the bald man's incident, he hated people who betrayed their companions the most.

Before coming in, he heard those people vividly describing Zhou Jinchen's cowardly appearance.

A wimp who only survived because of the woman who had a crush on him, and now he has no hesitation in betraying that woman just to save his own life.

It's disgusting to live under the same sky with such a person.

Since no one paid attention to him, Zhou Jinchen just squatted aside and said nothing.

He was not sure whether this man was really kidnapped or one of Hei Lian's men, so he didn't dare to say anything.

It was completely dark.

That kid is quite smart. He should go find the boss and tell him what happened here.

But he was a little worried. He was so small, what if he encountered a zombie? He definitely couldn't outrun a zombie with his small body...

Zhou Jinchen felt a little regretful. Maybe it would be safer if he was caught by Hei Lian and the others?

It was too late to think about these things now, so he tried to clear his mind and began to meditate.

He vaguely felt something yesterday, and Fan Xin told him not to be anxious and to digest it slowly.

But at this moment, he was very anxious.

Zhong Yi squatted obediently in the haystack and didn't move.

After dark, he held his backpack and carefully poked his head out to look around.

It was not known whether these people were outnumbered or simply had no awareness of the situation, but they did not set up any checkpoints or patrol around the gas station.

Zhong Yi moved little by little, made a big circle, and arrived in front of the gas station.

When Fan Xin left before, he and Zhou Jinchen saw the direction she left from the window, and Zhong Yi ran in that direction.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never gone out alone, let alone faced danger alone.

First there was my mother, then there was my brother.

He is very scared now.

Zhong Yi sniffed and held his backpack tightly. After running a distance, he didn't dare to run anymore because he was afraid that he was running in the wrong direction.

Fan Xin rubbed his brows and said, "Don't be like Zhong Yi."

I don’t know what this person is thinking. He has been imitating Zhong Yi, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Sui Jing blinked: "You don't like it?"

Fan Xin had a blank expression on her face. How could she possibly like it?

"But you obviously like that child so much." Sui Jing thought thoughtfully.

Fan Xin chuckled, "He's a child, aren't you?"

She couldn't help but wonder, is this person really the overly powerful zombie from her previous life?

"I am more obedient than him." Sui Jing said.

Obedient? Fan Xin curled his lips. Yes, he was obedient, but too obedient. That's why the researcher accidentally died?

She was too lazy to tell Sui Jing that with the dangerous item around her, Fan Xin's pressure doubled.

Sui Jing leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

The quality in her that could soothe his wild nature became even stronger, and just sitting next to her, he felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

He suddenly didn't want to take her crystal core anymore. What if it wasn't the crystal core's function?

Without her, he would fall into a madness that he could hardly control...

Suddenly, Fan Xin stepped on the brakes to the bottom, and Sui Jing, who was not wearing a seat belt, almost hit the windshield.

Fan Xin got out of the car and strode towards the roadside.

Zhong Yi, who was wearing thin clothes, looked pale and shivered as he squatted on the side of the road.

"Why are you here? Where is Zhou Jinchen?" Fan Xin narrowed his eyes, a fire slowly burning in his chest.

Zhong Yi raised his head slowly, and when he saw Fan Xin, tears started to fall. He threw himself into Fan Xin's arms, "Brother!"

Sui Jing narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
