Shock! The male protagonist has turned dark again, the host should pamper him

Seeing Xu Muzhe being so ungrateful, Chen Chechi glared at him in frustration.

"How many people in the base want this opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. Do you think the thing Han Jianchuan injected you with is harmless? He is treating you as a guinea pig. If you continue like this, you will die sooner or later."

"You'll die if you go out to look for supplies."

"How can they be the same?" Chen Chechi's facial features were distorted due to his anxiety. "Dying in the lab or dying outside, of course the latter is better. At least everyone will remember your dedication. What's more, I..."

Chen Chechi suddenly stopped talking and lowered his head slightly.

"Not to mention what?"

Chen Chechi pursed his lips, too embarrassed to say it out loud.

What's more, he will protect Xu Muzhe.

He is not a cold-blooded animal. When taking Xu Muzhe out to find supplies, he will of course try his best to protect his safety.

Of course, he couldn't say such words, especially since Xu Muzhe in front of him was his former mortal enemy.

That's even more difficult to say.

Xu Muzhe had just asked casually, but seeing him hesitating, he lost the desire to communicate.

"Han Jianchuan is still waiting for me. If nothing else, I'll leave first."

Chen Chechi raised his head quickly, "Why don't you consider it?"

Xu Muzhe smiled, "What do you want to do? It's obviously because you don't like me that you want me to stay in the slums. Now that I can contribute to the base, you want me to leave the lab. Besides, if I die in the lab, shouldn't you be the happiest person?"

Chen Chechi scratched his head and said guiltily, "I was just joking at that time."

"It's no joke to send me to the slums, is it?"

"I..."

Under Xu Muzhe's questioning gaze, Chen Chechi lowered his eyes in shame. As if to hide his embarrassment, he kicked the pebbles on the ground.

"Actually, I reflected on what you said to me in the slums that day after I went back."

Chen Chechi raised his head slightly, carefully looked at Xu Muzhe's expression, and then said, "You are right, I am indeed a waste who relies on weapons. I should give everyone who comes to the base a chance, instead of letting my own subjective assumptions drive people to the slums."

These words came from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately Xu Muzhe remained unmoved. He put his hands in his pockets and stared at him quietly.

"How about it? Join us."

Xu Muzhe glanced at him calmly and said, "Since you are so aware, why not take action now and settle the people in the slums."

Chen Chechi opened his eyes wide, "That's too many people."

"Why? It seems you are just saying nice things."

"Do you know how many people there are in the slums? There's no way they can be settled all at once."

"I see there are plenty of spots. Even someone like me who already has something to do has to beg me to join. Why not give the spots to people who need them more?"

"How can they be the same?" Chen Chechi said anxiously, "At least you are strong and can use weapons."

"In the end times, anyone who wants to fill their stomachs can do so."

At this point, Chen Chechi finally understood what Xu Muzhe meant.

He has said so much, and this is the first time he has spoken to someone in such a flattering tone.

But Xu Muzhe still didn't appreciate it and even brought up this matter to reject his kindness.

"Okay, then don't do it if you don't want to." Chen Chechi stood up straight and resumed his usual arrogant attitude, "Don't beg me to give you a chance in the future."

Xu Muzhe was too lazy to pay attention to him, waved his hand and turned away.

Seeing that the other party was getting farther and farther away, Chen Chechi was so angry that he punched the pole beside him, making a loud noise.

"If I care about him again, I'll be an idiot!" Chen Chechi cursed with gritted teeth.

More than two months passed and the weather became hotter and hotter.

As food became harder and harder to find, and zombies became more numerous than before, the people in the base were not getting enough to eat every day and began to become restless.

Before, when Xu Muzhe walked on the street, people passing by would greet him warmly. But now, let alone greeting him, it would be considered a shame if they didn't come up to eat his meat.

The laboratory had not made any progress, and everyone began to complain. Although they did not say it in front of Han Jianchuan, rumors spread very quickly and soon reached Han Jianchuan's ears.

In fact, they kept saying the same things over and over again, suspecting that Han Jianchuan was a know-nothing idiot who was just pretending to be so in order to make a living here.

"Xiaochuan, don't pay attention to what they say. You spend almost all your time here and don't get much rest. Developing a vaccine is not that easy. If they have the guts, they can do it."

Han Jianchuan didn't care about what they said. He raised his lips and smiled, "You don't have to comfort me. I don't take it to heart. But you should spend less time apart from me recently. I'm afraid they will affect you with their emotions."

Xu Muzhe looked at him quietly, and was relieved to see that his face was calm and did not show any unhappiness.

"System, how long will it take Han Jianchuan to develop a vaccine? I remember that other taskers have also been to the apocalypse, and there must be information about the vaccine in the database. How about I give him some hints?"

[Not good, will this ruin my character? ]

"Let it collapse. I can't bear to see him being scolded like this."

【But...】

Before the system finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the laboratory. After a while, someone rushed in and closed the door behind him.

Han Jianchuan and Xu Muzhe looked over at the same time and saw the pale-faced Chen Chechi.

He gasped for breath and said intermittently, "Damn... Damn, some idiot was bitten by a zombie, and he dared...dared to hide the wound and come back to the base... Now... Now half of the people outside have been...bitten..."

Once residents are bitten, the disease spreads extremely quickly.

Therefore, the base that once protected them all has now become a hell on earth.

There is no way to escape.
