Chapter 253 Wakes Up for Chai Jin (2)
Xu Zhiyi pressed on, "Who is she to you that you're going to see her?"
“She is…” Chai Jin hesitated for a moment before answering, “She is the person I like, but I have never dared to tell you.”
"Heh, why wouldn't you dare?"
Chai Jin paused for a moment before saying, "Because she can't say it, because you won't disagree, and her family won't agree either..."
"Of course we won't agree to something like this!" Xu Zhiyi exclaimed, looking at Chai Jin's love-struck expression. He then asked, "So tell me, how did you fall for Zhang Wan, and how did you win her over?"
"I am...I am..." Chai Jin thought and thought, but couldn't recall how the two fell in love. "Huh? I don't remember..."
At this moment, even he himself began to doubt himself.
How could I not remember at all...?
Yan Fei, who was standing nearby, couldn't take it anymore and bluntly exposed the truth: "You idiot! Because you never liked her at all! You never had any of those bullshit relationships with her. She just unilaterally controlled you to make you think you liked her!"
"But that's not right... I clearly feel like I've liked her for a long time, and we see each other quite often..."
Chai Jin was so confused by what he heard that he tapped his head and tried hard to recall his past with Zhang Wan, but the more he thought about it, the more his head ached.
Lu Yanwen: "Then can you remember how many times you've seen her?"
"I've seen her many times... but why can I only recall a handful of times..."
This time, Shen Zechuan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Idiot, it's only been a few times to begin with."
Zhou Yang thought for a moment and felt that mind control was something that had to be done in secret, when the two of them were alone. So he asked:
"Chai Jin, when was the first time you met her alone, as you remember it?"
"Ah, it was shortly after you went to the Shanghai base for rescue operations. I went out to deliver something to Uncle Gu at the military headquarters, and on my way back, I accidentally bumped into her. She didn't blame me at all; in fact, she apologized to me. I thought she was a nice girl, so I chatted with her a bit more. Later, I went out for other things and bumped into her twice more, but each time we only exchanged a few words..."
Xu Zhiyi sighed, looking at Chai Jin as if he were the landlord's foolish son: "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you to try not to go out? Why do you keep going out? And you even bumped into her? How do you know she wasn't deliberately trying to scam you? Besides, you suddenly started running into her so frequently, don't you find that strange? And you even dared to talk to her..."
Chai Jin scratched his head: "I only went out because I had something to do. I didn't think that much about it..."
“It must have been during these few encounters that Zhang Wan took advantage of the situation. She must have considered many factors before choosing Chai Jin, who was the easiest target.” Zhou Yang rubbed his temples. “There’s no point in worrying about that now. The primary goal is to kill Zhang Wan first. Only when she’s dead can we eliminate any future trouble.”
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he looked directly at Chai Jin, wanting to see how Chai Jin would react to his statement that he wanted to kill Zhang Wan.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chai Jin, who had been relatively calm, suddenly turned red in the eyes and reached out to attack Zhou Yang.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang was prepared and quickly took a step back.
Shen Zechuan stepped in front of Zhou Yang and slapped Chai Jin on the head, causing Chai Jin to stumble and fall to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
After a long while, seeing that Chai Jin seemed to have sobered up a bit, he asked with a cold face:
"You got slapped, are you awake yet?! You dare to lay a hand on Zhou Yang?!"
Shen Zechuan's slap had no force, and Chai Jin lay on the ground for a while before he could stand up again.
However, the slap had a noticeable effect, and Chai Jin's mental state returned to normal.
"I didn't mean to hit Zhou Yang, I just suddenly lost control of myself..."
As Chai Jin spoke, he became increasingly less confident, realizing that something was wrong with him.
Xu Zhiyi circled Chai Jin and nodded: "Not bad, you woke up much faster than last time, which means your self-control has indeed decreased quite a bit. Let's leave it at that for now. Until we deal with this woman, don't go out alone without our company. If we find you sneaking out, we'll lock you in the house!"
Chai Jin touched his neck, not daring to refute.
Seeing that Chai Jin did not react this time, Zhou Yang and the others understood that as long as Zhang Wan's name was not mentioned, it seemed that the restriction would not be triggered.
So in the ensuing conversation, Zhou Yang and the others used this woman's name instead of Zhang Wan's.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's continue fighting zombies." Lu Yanwen stood up, stretched, and then dragged Chai Jin, who was squatting in the corner, outside. "Let's go, Dali Chai, stop pretending to be weak, go back to demolishing your building!"
Zhou Yang and the others quickly followed.
They had almost completely ravaged the small town, so they decided to move on to another location.
After looking at the map again and again, I finally decided to go further north to a town with a larger population.
It was already 30 degrees Celsius, but riding on a pea and speeding along was still a bit chilly.
Fortunately, peas are fast, so the process only takes a few minutes.
Before they could even adjust to the cold, they had already arrived at their destination.
Following yesterday's pattern, the group got to work as soon as they landed.
To these men, the zombies in that city were practically walking treasures.
Along the city's main street, the group swept through one street after another, and by nightfall, the town of a few million people had been completely ransacked.
That night, Zhou Yang and the others found a clean place to set up camp as usual.
This time, Chai Jin wasn't as boisterous as he was yesterday, but he was still a bit impatient and occasionally couldn't help telling everyone that he wanted to go back.
Fortunately, after realizing he had a problem, Chai Jin desperately held back, fighting against the voice in his head telling him to go back. Although he kept saying he wanted to go back, he didn't move his feet an inch.
Zhou Yang and the others then watched silently from the sidelines, so that they could stop Chai Jin in time if he couldn't hold on and wanted to leave.
Just then, a loud noise came from outside.
The group was startled at the same time, and even the agitated Chai Jin quieted down.
Upon hearing the sound, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan immediately stood up and went to the window to investigate.
In the distance, a dozen or so cars were speeding after the pursuer on the street, with gunshots ringing out intermittently.
Further away, there was an overturned car burning, which must have been the source of the loud bang.
