Chapter 42

At night, Song Shi frantically rubbed the bruised piece of skin with her hands, even though it had healed as before.

It was just a wound, and there was no bleeding at all!

Look… there is no trace at all, she will be fine.

She obviously looked normal, but she knew that her brain was heating up.

This is clearly a precursor to infection with the zombie virus…

That person said that as long as she thinks clearly, she can be cured of the virus. But…

“Song Shi, what’s wrong with you?” Mu Yu rubbed her eyes and a head popped out from under the quilt.

Song Shi just sat straight and didn’t speak.

Now she is eager to find comfort from someone, but this person is obviously not Mu Yu.

She stood up suddenly, startling Mu Yu next to her, and even Chi Ying, who didn’t want to talk to her, couldn’t help but glance at her.

“It’s so late, where are you going?”

Song Shi still didn’t answer, and went out directly.

“Hiss, what’s the situation. Why are you ignoring me all of a sudden.” Mu Yu complained dissatisfiedly.

Chi Ying yawned.

She has long been used to this attitude.

…

Gu Chi, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard footsteps outside the tent.

He opened his eyes.

Could it be Chi Ying?

The last time Chi Ying came to look for him in the middle of the night.

Lu Yunfei and Lin Xun were already asleep, so he hurriedly dressed and went out without making a sound.

“Brother Gu…”

Seeing that it was Song Shi who came, Gu Chi felt an unspeakable sense of loss for some reason.

“Brother Gu, can I talk to you?”

Gu Chi was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.

Not knowing what Song Shi was going to say to him, she walked ahead and stopped only fifty meters away from their resting place.

“It’s not that he’s not in good shape, why are you coming out so late?” Gu Chi asked.

“It’s just a bit of a headache.” Song Shi bit her lip, “Brother Gu, what are your plans after all the zombies are gone?”

“Me?” Gu Chi shook his head, “I’m not sure, but after all the zombies are cleaned up by humans, there will be a long period of recovery, so I won’t be able to relax.”

“For so long, don’t you think about personal issues?” As if afraid of being seen through by him, she hurriedly added: “Because you haven’t mentioned this aspect, I’m just a little curious.”

Gu Chi frowned, not quite understanding why she came to ask him such a question at night.

“talk later.”

Song Shi clenched her fist unwillingly.

“Any thing else?”

“No, no more.”

“Well, since you’re not feeling well, go to bed early.” Gu Chi raised his leg and prepared to go back.

Suddenly, he paused, as if thinking of something.

He turned his head and said, “By the way, call me captain in the future.”

Song Shi was stunned, and asked incredulously, “Why?”

Gu Chi twirled his fingers, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

It is indeed a bit abrupt to make such a request all of a sudden.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that I’m not used to it.”

“If you’re not used to listening, why didn’t you mention it before?” Song Shi’s eyes were full of hatred.

She never had half of this man’s love, is she going to take away even this special thing now?

“Why do you say…” Gu Chi froze suddenly.

yeah, why?

“Sorry, I… can’t tell.”

What Song Shi called him before, although it sounded awkward, he didn’t feel the need to mention it. However, ever since Chi Ying whispered “You Brother Gu” next to his ear last time, he felt uncomfortable when he heard Song Shi call him that again.

Song Shi sneered, and said, “It can’t be because of Chi Ying? Because you like her, you don’t want me to call you that?”

She didn’t think that Gu Chi would have any special thoughts about Chi Ying, she just wanted to force Gu Chi to give up his previous thoughts. What Gu Chi was interested in was Chi Ying’s ability, which she knew early on.

Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say no. He opened his mouth, but suddenly something opened up in his mind.

Because… like her?

He froze on the spot for a while, only feeling that his heart was very hot.

Song Shi couldn’t wait for his reply.

After a long time, I heard a very solemn sound like a promise——

“yes.”

…

In the tent where the two are fifty meters apart.

Chi Ying, who has excellent hearing, silently tucked in the quilt. Her originally closed eyes were forced to open at this moment, and she lost all sleepiness.

She seems to have heard something terrible.

The next day, they found more corpses that were suspected of being supernatural beings, but the investigation on the source still made no progress.

At first, Gu Chi thought that all this would have something to do with the leader, but now he also denied this idea.

First of all, the red spots on the skin of those supernatural beings are not signs of infection with the zombie virus.

What’s more, in the three days since they came here, they hardly saw a few living zombies. Occasionally, some fell to the ground and were not completely dead, and they could be dealt with with a single shot. There is no reason for those fourth-level or even fifth-level supernatural beings to be trapped by them.

What made him feel the most strange was that there were so many zombie corpses, who would kill them?

In the past few days, he checked the scars on many zombies to find out what caused their death, but the result surprised him.

From them, he discovered five different abilities. And judging from the way of using the ability and the fighting style, it doesn’t look like it was done by different people with different abilities, but more like the handwriting of one person.

It’s as if there is a person with similar abilities to Chi Ying… The ability is powerful and has many abilities.

But he was sure that this person had nothing to do with Chi Ying. One is that the time does not make sense at all. Chi Ying has been following them for the past few months, so it is impossible to have time to come to Yuhu City; the other is that the wounds on the bodies of the zombies are not big, although the strangeness of this person can be seen It’s very powerful, but it’s not like Chi Ying’s squandering.

Gu Chi silently affirmed.

Well, she always kills zombies by beheading them at the same time.

On Chi Ying’s side, however, she was a little absent-minded.

Since she heard that passage last night, she has not been able to fall asleep, and she is very upset at the moment.

Gu Chi said that he likes…

Her face flushed suddenly, and the wind power around her was instantly removed, almost causing her to fall.

Chi Ying clawed at the window outside the office building, wishing she could find a place to get in.

They can’t be farther away when they talk! Just let her hear it!

【Actually… Normal people can’t hear it at that distance. 】

Chi Ying ignored it, and remained sleepy.

The system silently shook its head.

Sure enough, human love will only delay things. Its host is not in the mood to work now!

[The host doesn’t have to care too much, at worst, you just refuse him if he confesses. 】

Chi Ying pursed her lips, and subconsciously imagined the scene where Gu Chi stood in front of her and confessed…

She trembled slightly, only felt a sore nose, and an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, which was awkward but made her face burn.

Chi Ying covered the tip of her nose, it was the first time that she felt embarrassment so unbearable.

Help, instead of letting her face this… it’s better to just let her pass out!

The system is acutely aware that something is wrong.

[Why do you react so strongly? 】

Chi Ying turned over and sat on the high open-air window sill, and said casually: Isn’t it normal to have a big reaction?

The system carefully probed: [That’s not true either. However, if Lu Yunfei was the one who said those words yesterday, what would you think? 】

Chi Ying tilted her head, thought for a while and said: A little embarrassed?

[A little embarrassed? But host, your current state does not seem to be a bit…]

Chi Ying was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the person yesterday was not Gu Chi, and her reaction would indeed be different if it was someone else.

She looked up and recalled the common sense that the system had instilled in her.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Ying said with a shocked face: Could it be because I like him too!

Because you are facing someone you like, so the reaction will be different from others, right?

The system took a deep breath and interrupted frantically: [No, no, no! 】

He was tired and said: 【…It doesn’t have to be so extreme! 】

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have much to say.

It doesn’t know much about human feelings. If its host doesn’t have any special thoughts about Gu Chi, wouldn’t it be messing around.

Chi Ying touched her still hot face, and tried her best to put this matter behind her.

Complete the task first, as for the rest… save it for later.

…

When returning to the campsite at night to sort out the clues found that day, Gu Chi keenly sensed something was wrong.

He found that Chi Ying was acting very strange today.

As long as her eyes met hers, she hurriedly looked away.

Even when eating at night, Chi Ying stood beside the small round table for a long time, but didn’t sit down.

But as soon as he took his seat, when he looked up at her, Chi Ying suddenly blushed, walked away and sat at the farthest diagonal corner from him, silently picked up the bowl, covering most of her face.

Gu Chi: “…”

Sensing Chi Ying’s intention to distance himself, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to eat.

I just understood my mind yesterday, and before I had time to take the first step, I stumbled directly into the pit right now.

And, the reason is unknown.
