Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

lay down on the bed.
When he regained his senses, the flawless face of Cheng Jizhou was already within arm’s reach.

The beautiful mixed-race man’s red lips brushed against Lin Hanchuan’s as he asked, “What’s the principle behind that crystal nucleus space of yours?”

Lin Hanchuan: “…”

The ambiguous atmosphere instantly dissipated, and Lin Hanchuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Ignoring Cheng Jizhou’s puzzled gaze, he slowly conveyed the information he obtained from the system and analyzed the principles behind the formation.

As he spoke, Lin Hanchuan’s voice gradually faded, and he fell asleep.

However, Cheng Jizhou wasn’t sleepy.
Being a zombie, he had more energy than regular humans, and even after several days without sleep, he would be fine.
He stared at Lin Hanchuan’s sleeping face with boredom, wanting to wake him up to continue the conversation, but he never took any action.
He simply kept his eyes fixed on him.

Just like on many nights during their journey to the capital, he drove away nearby zombies while carefully examining Lin Hanchuan’s face.
Now, he could even count the number of eyelashes on Lin Hanchuan’s eyes as if they were his prized possessions.

As he kept staring at Lin Hanchuan, Cheng Jizhou also yawned.
He sniffed and leaned on Lin Hanchuan’s chest, burying his nose into the crook of Lin Hanchuan’s neck, soaking himself in the rich fragrance of the other person.

A fair-skinned hand reached out and pressed the bedside lamp, casting the room into darkness as the thick curtains covered the windows.
In the dimness, a soft voice sounded, “Goodnight.”

When Lin Hanchuan woke up, he found himself holding someone in his arms.
He was momentarily stunned and subconsciously looked down.

The beautiful mixed-race man was sleeping soundly, his head resting on Lin Hanchuan’s arm, and his hands holding him like he was embracing a precious treasure.
Even their legs were entangled, pressed closely against each other, making them inseparable.

Before the smile on Lin Hanchuan’s lips could fully bloom, he frowned slightly.
The area where their skin touched felt unusually cold.
Even after holding Cheng Jizhou for so long, there was still no sign of warmth; only a faint trace of temperature was felt on the skin’s surface.

[What’s wrong with his body?] Lin Hanchuan wrapped Cheng Jizhou’s cold fingers in his large hands and placed them on his stomach.

Floating out of Lin Hanchuan’s body, Agent 001 circled around Cheng Jizhou and replied, [He was injected with a highly concentrated zombie virus.
According to the general understanding, he should have turned into an irrational zombie long ago, but he still retains his consciousness… The virus has damaged his body, and he’s now just a rational zombie.]

Zombies are originally ‘corpses.’

After a moment of silence, Lin Hanchuan’s eyes became unreadable as he asked again, [Can the zombie virus be studied to develop a cure? Can you exchange a cure there?]

[I cannot exchange anything beyond the current world’s progress.] 001 emphasized, even if a cure may exist in the future, the host wouldn’t be able to exchange for it.

It was similar to not being able to exchange modern firearms in an ancient world.

Lin Hanchuan frowned slightly, not saying much more.

After resting for a day, on the third day, the military issued a mission to Lin Hanchuan’s small team: clear out zombies near the capital and rescue survivors.

Through Scarface’s information, Lin Hanchuan knew that this kind of clearing mission was the most common task.
In order to ensure the safety of the capital, almost every squad would receive such missions to clean up nearby zombies, including those in the surrounding cities, to prevent them from forming a zombie tide and attacking the capital.

This time, the mission was at a town called Tianhu Town, 45 kilometers away from the capital, requiring about three hours by car to reach.

For the first mission, Lin Hanchuan didn’t bring everyone along; he only took seven or eight people, including Wei Zheng, Lu Mao, and the non-military personnel Cheng Jizhou.

“I never thought I’d get a chance to ride in a military vehicle.
Now, we can consider ourselves colleagues, right?” It was Lu Mao’s first mission and the first time he got on a military vehicle as a semi-military personnel.
He was extremely excited and kept talking to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng sat upright, closing his eyes to rest, as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“This mission consists of a total of 2,452 people, including 1,920 soldiers and 532 volunteers.” The team leader was a bald woman, and she exchanged information with Lin Hanchuan while holding a map, her demeanor precise and meticulous.
“We will split into several squads: five larger squads and fifteen smaller squads.”

Lin Hanchuan listened attentively, but Cheng Jizhou wasn’t interested in these details.
He lay on Lin Hanchuan’s shoulder, looking around curiously.

As an astonishingly attractive mixed-race man with fair and beautiful skin, he seemed to have no combat capabilities.
The people around occasionally glanced in their direction, their eyes filled with different expressions.

“Who’s this person? I don’t recall seeing him in the army before…”

“Maybe he’s an esper from the volunteer group?”

“He looks too delicate; doesn’t seem like a volunteer… Look how clingy he is to that guy.
Could they be…”

“In a safe place, who cares about their identities? Now that they’re out on a mission, bringing along this lover boy is just being clueless.”

People couldn’t help but murmur in their hearts as they observed.
Cheng Jizhou didn’t mind their reactions and, instead, enjoyed getting closer to Lin Hanchuan.
He smiled at the person who said that he was Lin Hanchuan’s lover boy, causing the other person to be taken aback, and both sides blushed uncontrollably.

“Alright, stop fooling around,” Lin Hanchuan gently pinched Cheng Jizhou’s chin, urging him to turn his head back.

“Are you jealous?!” Cheng Jizhou immediately got excited.
He knew this behavior; in novels, if the protagonist or female lead dared to smile at other men, their lover would get jealous and then “severely” teach them a lesson.

I wonder how he’ll teach me a lesson.
Cheng Jizhou’s mind wandered with imagination.
