Chapter 562: Chapter 558 Yan Jinsu Missing Record 10 [Explosive Update 87]

——————

Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen, as if led by strings, were lured deep into a natural chasm in the valley—

From the bottom of the valley, Xie Jingchen saw six of his subordinates he had previously sent out, no more, no less!

"They are...?!" Yan Jinsu’s heart tightened as she gasped, covering her mouth.

"It’s Hu Zhengjie and the others!" Xie Jingchen’s face darkened at the thought of his men lying there, alive or dead, he wasn’t sure.

Yan Jinsu was startled; Xie Jingchen had actually told her their names... Did that mean the people below were either someone who had come out to rescue her or subordinates of this man?

She certainly hadn’t forgotten Xie Jingchen’s military attire! This revealed his profession without question, and considering his skills, he could not possibly be an ordinary soldier.

Xie Jingchen pursed his lips and took out his telescope to see the six men below all bound by vines. Thankfully, their chests were still rising and falling, albeit shallowly. Aside from each of them having lost consciousness, there were no major wounds on their bodies.

And ten meters in front of them, there was a pile of Gray Mountain Rats! Each one was as stout as a small rabbit, with their exposed front teeth looking extremely sharp!

Yan Jinsu was also observing the situation below through binoculars. Having seen many monsters in the apocalypse, she didn’t find these Gray Mountain Rats disgusting or terrifying. Staring at their red eyes, she whispered to Xie Jingchen,

"Brother Chen, don’t you find, whether it’s the red-eyed monkeys or these Gray Mountain Rats, that they all have one thing in common, red eyeballs with no whites?"

If the Black Head Ants had eyeballs, she would definitely include them too.

But other than having big, black heads, she hadn’t really researched to see what the original color of their eyeballs was!

Uh, upon thinking about this, Yan Jinsu suddenly touched her forehead: It seemed, it’s quite likely that the Black Head Ants also had a bit of red in their black eyes!

"Hmm. This Dr. Xiong from the Shantian Organization, I’ve heard he’s had outstanding results in drug research. One thing that has come to light is that he’s developed a drug that enhances animal vitality and slightly improves their intelligence, with certain substances, they can be controlled by humans!"

"... A drug, enhanced animal vitality, and creatures that can be controlled by people?" Listening to this, Yan Jinsu felt something was off.

The Gray Mountain Rats at the bottom of the valley didn’t harm the hostages and weren’t fighting each other, but most were lying on the ground looking towards a certain spot.

Following their line of sight, Yan Jinsu was surprised to find one of the Gray Mountain Rats that was relatively more robust. Was there a monarchy now established among the rat population?

Yan Jinsu dismissed the fleeting thought and then noticed that above the Grey Squirrel King’s head, there was a bead that looked like an ’egg fruit’.

The distance was too far, and Yan Jinsu couldn’t be sure if it was related to the ’certain substances’ Xie Jingchen had just mentioned!

"Brother Chen, look over there!" Yan Jinsu pointed at the ’egg fruit’ and motioned Xie Jingchen to have a look through his telescope.

Xie Jingchen had already noticed it; his thoughts aligned with Yan Jinsu’s, he nodded and said no more.

Looking ahead, behind their subordinates, there was a rocky outcrop covered with gecko vines. It was already December, yet he could still see the lush green gecko vines covering the mountain, which was a bit too strange.

If it were just him alone, after observing the situation, he would definitely charge down, but with his little wife, Xie Jingchen hesitated.

At this moment, Yan Jinsu was also looking at the Gray Mountain Rats in the valley. Seeing that Jingchen had yet to move, something stirred in her heart: This man really considers everything from her perspective!

"Brother Chen, there’s no time to lose. Let’s hurry down and rescue them!" Yan Jinsu was not one to stand idly by; no matter who those people were to her, they were people she ought to recognize.

"Alright." Xie Jingchen glanced at the steep terrain below and said with determination to Yan Jinsu, "Wife, I’ll carry you down first, then when we’re at the bottom, you can get off and join the fight, okay?!"

The Gray Mountain Rats were in the valley, and it was no longer suitable for Xie Jingchen to carry Yan Jinsu in battle. However, letting his wife go down the valley by herself was also something Xie Jingchen was not comfortable with. Nevertheless, Yan Jinsu agreed and obediently lay on his back as he squatted in front of her.

"Brother Chen, have you always been this domineering?" After a day and night together, Yan Jinsu confirmed her question.

Upon hearing her words, Xie Jingchen gave her bottom a smack and said coldly, "The goods are sold, no returns!"

Thinking of rejecting his strong approach? Hmph, later, he would show her what real strength and firmness were!

Yan Jinsu didn’t realize she had dug a big pit for herself; if she knew, she would definitely exclaim that what she had asked was ’domineering’, which is different from strong and firm!

"Ah?" Yan Jinsu didn’t expect Xie Jingchen to respond like that, and for a moment, she was stunned.

Then Xie Jingchen took out the harness from before and secured her well on his back. He didn’t use the mountaineering ropes, but simply charged down with her on his back—

Yan Jinsu wrapped her arms around his neck, one hand hurriedly covering her mouth. On one hand, she feared that she might scream in excitement, and on the other, without covering her mouth and nose, even breathing was difficult.

Looking down at the mountain, it didn’t seem very high, but once you started to climb down yourself, you would realize the actual height was quite significant.

They each had a telescope in their hands, so even from a distance, they could clearly see what was happening below.

When Xie Jingchen carried Yan Jinsu down the mountain, the cold wind that blew in their faces was so strong that Yan Jinsu felt if she weren’t clinging onto Xie Jingchen’s back, she might be blown away two meters by the wind!

The crosswind was really strong when it blew. Yan Jinsu hadn’t even had time to react, just clinging tighter to Xie Jingchen’s back without leaving any gap.

Xie Jingchen’s face remained composed. His tiger eyes were half-closed, his expression unchanging, but in his heart, he was somewhat pleased to discover that despite Yan Jinsu still looking unfamiliar with him, her actions and body were getting more and more used to his presence.

For Xie Jingchen, this was more delightful than a promotion!

Although there was a strong sideways wind, Xie Jingchen’s footwork was solid. Despite the steep and uneven mountain surface, there were tree branches protruding here and there, which he used to control their descent. In just thirteen minutes, they safely reached a corner at the bottom of the valley, a good distance away from the Gray Mountain Rats.

Moreover, this area was full of thorny vines and brambles, which probably only porcupines and nothing else favored as a habitat.

Both of them were wearing regular clothes on the outside, with combat suits underneath, not fearing the thorny vines at all.

Xie Jingchen still carefully set his wife down, letting her stand behind him.

Now, in front of the Gray Mountain Rats, they realized just how massive the number of these creatures truly was!

Especially since some Gray Mountain Rats were hidden under the crevices of rocks, invisible unless you looked straight on!
