Chapter 39

Back in the assigned room, Chi Ying lay on the bed for more than ten minutes, then opened the system interface to check the total points.

— 1.89 million.

“Hey.” She covered her face and smirked, turning over happily.

It’s no exaggeration for her hard work in the past two months!

During the past two months, she ran a lot of A-level safety zones. Even sometimes when they didn’t pass through the A-level area, she would sneak up in the middle of the night and travel tens of kilometers to fill supplies for the supply team.

Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain.

Now the points are still slowly increasing every day, even if she doesn’t have to do anything now, it will rise to 2 million points in a short time.

[Hey hey. ] The system also had fun with her.

“It’s almost two million! We’ll save the world soon!”

【Ahem, not so fast. 】The system held back its excitement.

[Even if you hand over the medicine to the research institute, it will take time for them to test the ingredients. 】

But this didn’t affect Chi Ying’s good mood at all. She stared at the points value on the system page for a long time.

knock knock!

“Chi Ying!”

Just by hearing the sound, it was Yun Ling who knocked on the door.

Chi Ying got up quickly and opened the door for her.

Seeing the situation outside the door, she opened her mouth, but was unable to speak for a long time.

“I heard from Professor Yu that you are only staying here for two days. I brought cabbages for you!”

“…Thank you.” Chi Ying fell silent as she looked at the huge cabbage that couldn’t fit into her door.

How are we going to get in now?

Boom.

There was the sound of a door closing next door.

Chi Ying poked her head out and saw that it was Gu Chi who came out from the side, holding a large glass jar in his hand.

Seeing the astonishingly large cabbage, Gu Chi trembled and almost dropped the jar.

“This is… cabbage?”

Yun Ling nodded.

Gu Chi fell into silence like Chi Ying.

…

In the end, because he couldn’t get in, Gu Chi temporarily put the vegetable in his greenhouse first.

“Try it, it shouldn’t be sour now.” Gu Chi lifted the lid off the pickled lemon.

And Yun Ling, who was upset because the food she gave was put in someone else’s field, frowned even more when she saw Gu Chi bring the jar of lemons into Chi Ying’s room in front of her.

This man…how is he so stupid!

“Want to try it?” Chi Ying held a piece in her mouth and pushed the jar towards Yunling.

Yun Ling raised her head, subconsciously feeling that a courteous person would be reluctant. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Chi’s expression, and as expected, she saw his tense jaw.

“Yes!” She suddenly felt much better.

Gu Chi: …

He ignored the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, and said seriously: “We won’t be staying at the headquarters for long this time.”

Chi Ying nodded.

She heard Gu Chi say this yesterday.

“Professor Yu’s leader detector has been completed, and they will conduct some tests and adjustments on Bai Qing today and tomorrow. Now we are waiting for the adjustments to be completed, and we will leave when there is no problem.”

Chi Ying asked him, “Did you tell me what happened?”

“The headquarters didn’t investigate clearly either.” Gu Chi shook his head, thinking of the news he heard when he came back, he slightly frowned.

“In the middle of No. 23 to No. 24 A-level districts in the North District, there is a place called Yuhu City. Some abnormal phenomena appeared more than a month ago. At that time, no one paid attention to it.”

“What phenomenon?”

“The supernatural beings who passed by there seemed to have encountered some accidents. After entering there, they never appeared again.”

“Not only the supernatural users of the alliance, but also those who have not joined the human alliance, but are famous for their outstanding strength…all of them disappeared strangely.”

Gu Chi intertwined his fingertips and continued, “Currently, there are already 23 level 5 supernatural beings and two supernatural powers who have just broken through sixth level in the alliance who have lost contact during the investigation of Yuhu City.”

“The remaining third-level and fourth-level ability users who have lost news are even more numerous.”

Chi Ying opened her lower lip and guessed, “Is it because there is a leader there?”

Gu Chi nodded.

“This is the only explanation I can think of. However, there are too many supernatural beings who disappeared there, and even the leader may find it difficult to do this. We have to go there to investigate the specific situation before making a conclusion.”

Chi Ying was silent for a moment before saying: “Then what about our mission of finding the leader? Just put it on hold?”

“Since the leader’s detector has been made, the task of finding the leader can be handed over to other exploration teams. Including the security areas at all levels, the headquarters will send out more accurate detectors later.”

“At that time, it may be possible to accurately locate the position of the leader from a hundred miles away.”

Chi Ying opened her lips in surprise.

so smart?

Seeing this, Gu Chi pursed his lips into a smile.

“It’s just a hypothesis. The research institute has just started research. It will take a long time until the results come out.”

“Everything I just said was just imagination before, but since we brought back those crystal nuclei and Baiqing yesterday, it doesn’t just exist in imagination.”

Chi Ying was still a little confused.

“Does that mean we are about to win?”

“At present, it seems that it is only a matter of time before we win against them.” Gu Chi said with some unconcealed lightness, “It will take a long time for human beings to fight this battle, but victory is doomed.”

Seeing him excited, Chi Ying was also driven to be happy.

Yun Ling interjected: “Well, can you take me with you when you go this time?”

She looked at the two of them with bright eyes, expectant in her eyes.

She’s going to grow hair in this place!

“…No.” Gu Chi refused coldly.

“Why? I can help you raise your power level! Isn’t it very helpful?”

Gu Chi stretched out two fingers, and said slowly: “First, your abilities are indeed useful, but you don’t have the basic ability to protect yourself. Moreover, this mission is unusual, and there are too many unknown dangers.”

“But isn’t there a healing power user in your team? Doesn’t she also have offensive powers?” Yun Ling retorted unconvinced.

“Song Shi’s healing ability is necessary for us.”

Yun Ling held her breath, and the flesh on her face swelled up.

“Second, you are a member of the Human Ability Research Institute, and you are currently a member of Ye Wuhan’s team in the headquarters system, right?”

Yun Ling muttered twice.

“Even if I agree with you to join the team, I don’t have the right to **** people from Ye Wuhan.”

“…” Yun Ling stopped talking.

Gu Chi stood up in satisfaction, looked at Chi Ying and said, “It’s a rare vacation, you should relax. I’ll go back first, good night.”

“Good night.”

After sending Gu Chi away, Chi Ying looked at the listless Yun Ling, a little helpless.

How to coax this?

“That… there is no need to be blocked on one road.”

If you can’t go out, you can find things to do in the headquarters.

Yun Ling lay on the table in a daze for a while, after listening to Chi Ying’s words, she reacted for a moment, then straightened up suddenly.

“You’re right! You can’t be blocked on one road!”

Chi Ying hadn’t figured out the situation yet, but seeing her cheer up, she felt relieved.

Although…she didn’t know what Yunling had realized.

…

next day.

Since there was more than half of the radish that Yunling gave last time, and the cabbage was too big, it would take up a lot of space in Mu Yu’s space, so Chi Ying didn’t take it with her.

Professor Yu’s detector is also almost tuned.

The leader’s detector is a very simple bracelet with a small nuclei-shaped green crystal in the middle. It has been distributed to everyone to wear on their wrists the day before. This is the simplest detector, and the exploration distance is limited to an area with a radius of three kilometers.

But for them, this is enough.

When they were leaving, Yunling saw them off like last time.

Before getting into the car, she rushed over and hugged Chi Ying, wrapping her arms around her neck very intimately.

Gu Chi, who was watching from the side, silently turned his face away, not wanting to look any more.

“Goodbye.” Chi Ying said goodbye to her with a smile.

Yun Ling also waved at her.

Summer had already passed, and the temperature in late autumn was not low. Chi Ying was wearing a loose jacket.

She didn’t notice that at the moment when the hug ended, a black and red pendant quietly appeared in the hood of her coat…
