Chapter 14
【O-I see. Host, you scared me to death. 】
While talking to the system, Chi Ying had already secretly used the water ability to restrain Zhang Bin from stabbing her arm.
Even zombies, a large part of their bodies are composed of water, controlling the water element in their bodies, not to mention slowing down the speed of action, even killing people invisible is completely possible.
However, this ability requires a very precise control over water abilities. Even Gu Chi, who is a seventh-level supernatural being, is basically impossible to do this.
Otherwise, wouldn’t every water-type power user be a big killer that can make people’s blood flow back and solve the zombie army in minutes?
“…Chi Ying?”
Chi Ying turned her head and looked at Gu Chi who had just turned around after speaking.
Gu Chi stared at the wound on her arm, as if the whole person was frozen in place, unable to move, his pupils shrunk, and even his breathing was blocked.
It seemed that he hadn’t figured out the situation yet, and his face had a blank expression that Chi Ying had never seen before.
It was also at this time that Chi Ying suddenly discovered the sharp ice blade piercing Zhang Bin’s forehead. Dark red blood slowly flowed down the pierced hole.
She froze for a moment, and instantly realized that what she just did to block Zhang Bin was unnecessary.
Gu Chishao was on guard, showing his back just now was just to let Zhang Bin relax his vigilance and show his feet…
She suddenly felt shrouded in embarrassment.
—Hey, she seems to be overdoing it a bit.
【Hiss, host, he must have thought you were infected. Unlike you and me, Gu Chi knows that you will not be infected with the zombie virus. He has always attached great importance to his teammates, so he is probably completely confused now. 】
Chi Ying: Then what should we do now?
She suddenly realized how reckless her behavior was just now.
She became annoyed, and it was rare that she couldn’t deal with it calmly, her face was flushed with anxiety.
But it seems useless to say anything at this time. Could she tell Gu Chi, “Don’t worry, I won’t be infected by the virus at all”?
“that…”
When Gu Chi heard her voice, he came back to his senses.
He took out the handcuffs from his pocket, and his expression returned to his usual calmness. He looked at Chi Ying and said, “Pass your hands away.”
“Huh? Oh oh.”
Chi Ying obeyed obediently, put her hands behind her back, and stuck them parallel to her back. .
Gu Chi walked around behind her, stretched out his hand, and held her two slender wrists with one hand. The other free hand holds the handcuffs.
Seeing this, the system, which was still worried about Gu Chi, became upset.
It said indignantly: [His reputation as a villain is really not for nothing! It was heartless. Even if the host made an unnecessary move, in the end it was helping him to block the injury, just to handcuff you like this? 】
Chi Ying felt that Gu Chi was really wronged, and she argued with the system in a low voice in her heart: But he didn’t know that I was immune to the zombie virus… He is a commander, facing a person who is at risk of mutating at any time, it is not a problem to tie him up. It’s too much.
She analyzed: If Gu Chi is the kind of indecisive person who takes me back without doing anything, if I suddenly mutate and hurt other team members, wouldn’t it be a bigger loss?
【…】
The system was inexplicably blocked by her rhetoric. It said bitterly: [I have never praised the host’s business ability before. 】
Chi Ying: Huh?
The sound of the system has a human gnashing of teeth. [You really have the talent to be a Virgin! 】
Chi Ying didn’t hear the yin and yang in its words, but felt it was strange.
She hesitated and replied: … Thank you, thank you?
【…】
Forget it!
While they were talking, Gu Chi had already cuffed his handcuffs.
Chi Ying only felt that his movements were not as proficient as before. The handcuffs rubbed on her wrists several times before they were put on smoothly.
“That… I’m sorry.” She glanced at Gu Chi cautiously, “I didn’t know you were testing it.”
Gu Chi paused, then raised his head abruptly, looking at Chi Ying with an inexplicably creepy gaze.
He took a deep breath and said, “You may die.”
“…”
Ok?
“Are you still thinking about apologizing to me?”
Her brain circuit was strange, he had known it for a long time. But at a time when her life is almost gone, she still cares about these dispensable things?
Chi Ying understood what he meant this time. She hesitated for a while, but decided to explain to Gu Chi: “…Actually, you don’t have to worry about me. I won’t mutate, and it’s impossible for anything to happen. Besides, didn’t Lu Yunfei say that, I’m very lucky!”
Gu Chi’s face was sullen, almost going crazy with her innocence.
“Do you know how likely it is to be injured by a zombie but not mutate? It’s less than one in ten thousand.”
This point was stated in the information that the system had transmitted to Chi Ying.
In fact, not all supernatural beings among humans are naturally awakened. There are a very small number of people who did not have awakening abilities at the beginning of the end of the world, but after being accidentally bitten by zombies, not only did they not mutate into zombies, but instead possessed abilities.
It’s just that there are very few people in this category, the probability is less than one in ten thousand, and they are all the lucky ones who are envied by others.
Chi Ying could only remain silent.
It seemed that he had to wait two days to convince himself.
At the moment the “leader” died, the nearby zombies were out of order and wandering around like headless flies.
Gu Chi held the chain on Chi Ying’s handcuffs with one hand, and the back collar of the “leader” with the other, lifting Zhang Bin’s entire body.
“Where are we going?” Chi Ying asked anxiously.
He must have thought he would mutate. Do you want to… destroy the corpse?
Sensing what she was worried about, Gu Chi held back his anger and said angrily.
“go back.”
In the abandoned office building, the people who were anxiously waiting for Gu Chi and the others to return were extremely anxious until there was a click of the doorknob turning.
“Brother Gu is back?”
Song Shi stood up first.
The hearts of the rest of them finally returned to their stomachs, and they looked at the door that had just been opened.
Boom!
It wasn’t Gu Chi who entered the door first, but a human-like thing that was kicked in. The figure is humanoid, but it is covered with sticky dark red blood from head to toe, and some mucus that is unclear.
Lu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, got up subconsciously, and assumed a fighting posture. He stared at the unknown object for a few seconds, but couldn’t tell what it was.
“Zhang Bin!” Professor Lin shouted tremblingly when he saw who the man was.
Gu Chi also stepped into the door at this moment, holding Chi Ying behind him.
“Captain, what’s going on?”
Seeing that it was him, Lu Yunfei felt relieved.
Gu Chi then explained the ins and outs to them.
After listening, Lu Yunfei took a deep breath.
“Zhang Bin is actually the leader of the zombies? Damn it, why are the zombies so excited today! Fortunately, Captain, you found out earlier, otherwise you will be in big trouble.”
Gu Chi pursed his lips.
“not me.”
The chain he was holding in his hand was gently squeezed, and he staggered to reveal Chi Ying behind him.
Lu Yunfei was stunned, and asked strangely: “Why isn’t it you? Besides, why is this girl still tied up?”
He suddenly realized something, strode forward and walked behind Chi Ying.
Seeing the wound on her arm, his heart sank completely.
“team leader…”
Mu Yu also vaguely sensed something, staring at Chi Ying with a relaxed face for a few seconds, and said in disbelief, “Captain Gu, is she infected by the zombie virus?”
Gu Chi lowered his eyes.
“Sorry, I was negligent…”
“Negligence? Can this be taken away with a sentence of negligence!?” Lu Yunfei’s eyes were red.
“Brother Lu, what are you talking about!” Song Shi frowned, “Brother Gu is used to being cautious, even if he was negligent, it is impossible for him to cause Chi Ying to be infected.”
Lu Yunfei’s excitement just now also eased a little. Realizing that he had spoken impulsively, he rolled down his Adam’s apple, calmed down his emotions, and said, “I’m sorry Captain, I was too emotional.”
Song Shi glanced at Chi Ying, and continued with the words just now: “It’s not that I’m unkind, but objectively speaking, if Chi Ying’s previous behaviors were not protected by everyone, today’s situation would have happened sooner or later.”
“…”
Lu Yunfei frowned, inexplicably feeling that this sounded wrong, but he couldn’t analyze what was wrong.
That girl is indeed a little strange often, and even some behaviors occasionally give him the feeling that she is stretching her neck and sending herself into the zombie’s mouth…
“I think…” Mu Yu grabbed her hair and said awkwardly to Song Shi, “It’s said to protect her, but I actually feel like we didn’t do anything.”
After being refuted, Song Shi’s face was not very good-looking.
“We have been carrying her for so long, supplies, food… which one is not bought by everyone risking their lives?”
【day! 】
Hearing the system’s voice, Chi Ying seemed to have discovered some new world, and joked: You can also swear?
[She is too much! You followed them, except for throwing the cross sometimes, where did you cause any trouble? If the host hadn’t discovered something was wrong with Zhang Bin this time, they might have been taken over by the zombies! 】
Chi Ying didn’t feel anything.
Gu Chi squeezed the chain’s fingertips tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. Seeing Chi Ying from the corner of her eye, her expression remained unchanged, as if she didn’t care that she was wronged at all.
[The value of the Holy Mother is increased by one. 】
Chi Ying’s eyes lit up.
Ok?
That great good man gave her the Holy Mother value for no reason again?
“It was Chi Ying who discovered Zhang Bin’s strange behavior this time.” Gu Chi raised his eyelids, “She told me that Zhang Bin might be the leader of the zombies. I was afraid of alarming the enemy, so I asked her to keep it a secret from you.”
Lin Xun on the side was taken aback, and said, “No wonder you took her with you, captain.”
Gu Chi looked at the crowd and said, “The reason why she was injured was also to protect me. If it is said that she acted without authorization, it was my own initiative to hide it from everyone.”
Chi Ying raised her head, a little surprised. She stared at Gu Chi’s back in a daze.
Why do you say that? Obviously she didn’t understand the situation herself, and she was self-defeating. He didn’t need to protect himself.
but…
Noticing everyone’s surprised eyes, especially Song Shi’s distorted face because of embarrassment, she quietly straightened her back.
I don’t know why… It feels a little cool.
