MTL - The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary-Chapter 3
In the end they ended up in a small abandoned factory.
There is also a similar off-road vehicle parked inside the factory, but the outer skin is a little worn, as if it has been scratched by the claws of some kind of beast. Obviously, this car has been besieged by zombies.
Seeing them coming back, the first one to get out of the car was a woman. Before Gu Chi and the others got out of the car door, she was waiting outside the car door.
Lu Yunfei got out of the car first.
She smiled and said, "Brother Lu, how is the result?"
"It's not bad, there's something to eat."
"Great, Brother Gu's judgment is indeed correct! There are really supplies here."
"I just suggested that everyone go and have a look, without making any judgments."
Gu Chi came down from the other side and retorted upon hearing the words.
He didn't want to put the credit on himself, but it was just luck this time.
The woman's smile faltered, but she quickly realized, "No matter what, the result of you leading everyone is always good."
"..."
Gu Chi glanced at her and said nothing.
After Mu Yu got out of the car, she went straight to the other side and opened the door.
"Mu Yu, don't you have space? Why did you put your things in the car?" Song Shi asked with a smile when she saw her open the door.
"Not something..."
Before Mu Yu finished speaking, Chi Ying happened to get out of the car. Her hands were tied, so she couldn't open the door.
Song Shi saw a woman coming out of the car, such a beautiful woman, and her expression was a little strange for a moment. But no one else noticed.
She smiled again, "This is..."
"Her name is Chi Ying, and she is a survivor we found in the supermarket. But I'm not sure if she was bitten by a zombie." Mu Yu explained.
Gu Chi also looked at Song Shi, "You and Mu Yu help her check if there is any wound, and if there is no wound, take her first."
Song Shi's eyes flickered, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She was a little amused at her selfishness, no matter how beautiful she was, Gu Chi couldn't possibly take a second look at her. She is overly sensitive.
Her tone was gentle: "Okay, is Chi Ying right? Come with me first."
After being checked and confirmed that there was no wound, the rope on Chi Ying's body was also loosened.
Mu Yu looked at her from top to bottom, "You are covered with zombie blood, I'll go outside to get some water, you can wash it off."
Chi Ying opened her mouth.
In fact, she also has the ability of the water system, so she can solve it by herself.
But remembering the system's instructions, she finally said nothing.
After a while, Mu Yu came back with a bucket of clean water.
"The stove is in use. It's summer now, and you look clean again. Can you wipe it with cold water?"
"Yes, thank you." Chi Ying took the bucket in her hand.
As soon as she took it, she realized that something was wrong.
"This water..."
It's so cold, not like the water temperature that can be hit in this summer.
"Is it cold?" Mu Yu frowned, "If it feels cold, I'll borrow the stove."
"This is the water that Dui Gu made with his abilities. He is a water type and later mutated into an ice type, so there will be a little ice. If you are not used to it, don't be embarrassed, just say it straight."
Mu Yu felt that she had never been so gentle to anyone in her life.
The main reason is that Chi Ying really looks like a porcelain doll that will break when touched, so she always treats it with care unconsciously.
"No, it's completely usable."
Chi Ying felt a little guilty. That original ability named Gu Chi is no longer enough, she still consumes it like this...
"Go and wash, we have to eat later."
Chi Ying nodded.
…
When she came out, the rest of the people had their meals ready.
Seeing her coming, Lu Yunfei greeted: "Have you cleaned up? Come and eat."
They don't have a table, and several people gather together, and there are cooked dishes in the middle pot. But fresh vegetables are almost invisible, and they are all instant dishes cooked with seasoning.
She scanned around and found a new face that she hadn't seen before. He is a very tall and strong man.
But almost everyone else here agreed that Chi Ying would be placed in a safe area in a few days, so they didn't intend to introduce the team members to her one by one.
"Fortunately, we found so many things today, we can have a few good meals." Lu Yunfei helped her serve a bowl of porridge.
Chi Ying took it with both hands, and saw that there was no place around the pot, so she moved to the side and found a place to sit, holding the bowl and eating slowly.
Mu Yu pretended to glance at her inadvertently, seeing that she was eating bit by bit without any resistance, and was slightly relieved.
She always felt that Chi Ying's temperament would be that of a spoiled young lady, and she was afraid that their relationship would be rejected.
Song Shi was also a little surprised. She felt the same way as Mu Yu, and was ready to listen to Chi Ying's complaints, but she didn't expect her to have any other emotions.
For some reason, a feeling of discomfort suddenly surged up in her heart, like the unhappiness of some ulterior expectation being frustrated.
Her eyes flashed, "By the way, tell us what happened to you today. How can you find such a beautiful girl in that kind of place?"
"This girl is really super lucky..." Lu Yunfei started talking endlessly about how she met Chi Ying, and how lucky she was to survive in that kind of place.
He said a few words, and Song Shi would follow up, including Mu Yu who would occasionally strike up a conversation. It seemed that Chi Ying was isolated from them invisibly.
It was only when they were about to chat that Gu Chi suddenly said, "How are your abilities recovering?"
"I've almost recovered two-thirds." Mu Yu spoke out first.
She has both space and fire abilities, both of which are only level three, so she recovers quickly.
"I'm only one-third." Lu Yunfei frowned.
He had consumed too much before, and he was a fourth-level superhuman.
"Me too." The tall man continued.
Gu Chi narrowed his eyes.
Song Shi said softly: "There are not many residents in the safe zone who were treated some time ago. They have recovered a little in the past two days, but they are still less than half of their full state."
Her ability has reached the fourth level, and her talent is excellent. Almost half of it recovered in just a few days. This is where she is most proud.
Gu Chi didn't hear the pride in her words, he just kept silent for a few seconds and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
He took off the leather bag from his waist.
"Everyone absorb all the crystal nuclei today tonight. I hope to recover almost tomorrow."
"You don't need Captain Gu?" Mu Yu looked at him.
"Need not."
"Tsk, Captain, your abilities are really bottomless. Is this the difference between a sixth-level ability user and me..." Lu Yunfei smiled and bumped him on the shoulder.
Gu Chi smiled and said nothing.
The obsession flashed in Song Shi's eyes.
A strong man with superb appearance and amazing strength, how could she not be tempted?
Only Chi Ying, who was sitting by the side, looked up at him, completely moved.
Ah, the old father who saved food and money for his son. How touching!
Sensing her gaze, Gu Chi raised his eyes and met the moved Chi Ying.
"..."
What muscle is this girl twitching again?
Song Shi noticed Gu Chi's gaze on Chi Ying, and frowned. She seemed to think of Chi Ying suddenly, and said without a trace: "By the way, what will Chi Ying do tonight?"
Gu Chi came back to his senses, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's hot in summer, you and Mu Yu can just have someone to watch over you, and you don't have to sleep together."
"Then I'll go with her. Mu Yu ran outside all day today, so he should be tired tonight."
This can be described as very understanding.
Gu Chi nodded casually and said nothing.
…
At night, Chi Ying followed the arrangement to live with Song Shi. But in fact, they all fell asleep in the factory cubicles, and each cubicle was next to each other.
"Chi Ying...isn't it?" Song Shi asked suddenly while lying on the sleeping bag.
"Ok."
In the dark, Chi Ying wrinkled her nose.
This person clearly knows his name, why bother to ask again?
"Why did you appear in the supermarket today? Judging from the crystal nuclei brought back by Brother Gu, the number of zombies is not small. How did you survive there?"
"do not know."
"Don't know? How could you not know."
"I have no memory of what happened before."
"...Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you either."
Chi Ying frowned. How did this man understand what she meant?
She felt uncomfortable, so she simply said "Oh" and didn't speak again.
But Song Shi obviously didn't want today's conversation to end here.
"You should have seen Gu Chi use his abilities today, right?"
"…Ok."
"Haha, do you think he is very powerful, and then envy him?"
"..."
That's... not bad.
"Shouldn't you be a supernatural being?"
"..." Chi Ying didn't know how to answer. She has powers similar to those of a supernatural being, but she is not a supernatural being.
"Everyone in the world envies the power of supernatural beings, but only we know how dangerous daily battles are. In fact, you should be glad that you are just an ordinary person and can safely live in a safe zone."
Chi Ying was a little impatient.
What is this man trying to say?
"Don't worry, we will safely send you to the safe zone. As supernatural beings, you'd better not get involved in our world."
"..."
Now Chi Ying could hear the yin and yang in her words. She turned over and closed her eyes with displeasure.
This man...was really sick.
Three o'clock in the morning.
【Host! Host! 】
Chi Ying woke up from her sleep in a daze.
Oh, her "alarm clock" went off.
She glanced at Song Shi who was sleeping next to her, got up quietly, and went out.
Chi Ying yawned and walked past the doors of each cubicle. When she reached the last compartment, she stopped.
She pressed her ear to the wall, but couldn't hear anything.
That Gu Chi... must be asleep, right?
The system wondered: [Why did you ask me to wake you up at this time? 】
Chi Ying: Come and pay me a little.
[What reward? 】
Chi Ying closed her eyes and put her hands on the door.
She remembered that this one was called Gu Chi, and it seemed to be water and ice...
When she opened her eyes again, there was a faint blue light in her eyes. The light penetrated into the wall along her palm, and then disappeared.
[Energy transmission? ] The voice of the system was a little surprised.
It didn't expect that Chi Ying's strength was so strong that it could transmit such a huge amount of energy with only the medium.
For supernatural beings, energy transmission is a very simple matter. But very few people do this.
Passing on the ability to another person is an option that only the other person will consider when their life is in danger. There is no other reason, only because the loss in the process of energy transmission is greater than that transmitted to the other party.
For example, when two people transmit supernatural energy through physical contact, the receiver can only obtain 40% of the sender's energy, and the remaining 60% will be consumed in the process.
And like Chi Ying at this moment, directly sending supernatural energy through the wall...
According to the system's judgment, at least 90% of it was lost.
This way of using energy is too...too extravagant.
It couldn't help but let out the same sigh as Gu Chi.
This is really inhumane!
the next day.
Everyone got up early, and they had to go on their way today, so they got up early to pack their things.
The only thing that surprised them was that Gu Chi hadn't gotten up yet.
You know, as the team leader, Gu Chi was always the first to get up to check vehicles and other weapons.
"Hey, why hasn't the captain come out yet?"
Song Shi also felt a little strange, "Could it be that you killed so many zombies yesterday, so you're too tired?"
"It's also possible..." Lu Yunfei said so, but he still felt that it was unlikely.
There have been many more difficult times than this before, and Gu Chi has never been in such a situation.
He put down the bag in his hand, still not at ease.
"Hiss, I'd better go take a look."
He took a few steps to the cubicle where Gu Chi was, and was about to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside.
It's Gu Chi.
"Sorry, it's a little late today."
"Captain, you..." Lu Yunfei looked at him in surprise.
Gu Chi's complexion was unprecedentedly good. Although his eyes were half-closed as if he hadn't woken up yet, the state of his whole body was obviously different from before.
Lu Yunfei suddenly discovered that Gu Chi had been in a state of mental distress all along.
I didn't think it before, but today, when I compare it with yesterday, the gap is as big as a ten-year social animal, and it's as big as a person who rested at home for half a year after resigning naked!
"Ok?"
"You're feeling . . . energized today."
"Really." He paused, "Maybe it's because of the supernatural breakthrough..."
"Oh, supernatural breakthrough... what the hell?"
Mu Yu almost thought he heard it wrong, "Captain?"
Song Shi heard the words and hurried over, "Brother Gu, you said, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Hmm..." Gu Chi's reaction was not that big.
His voice was still a little hoarse, and his head was not feeling well, but he was surprisingly sober.
"Damn it, don't you already, already level seven!" Lu Yunfei was extraordinarily excited, "You're the number one! You're even earlier than Ye Wuhan!"
Gu Chi was still pressing the door with one hand, his head was lowered, showing no emotion.
He always felt... something weird. It is clear that he has not reached the time to break through.
Standing behind the crowd, Chi Ying smiled softly.
Ah, hidden merit and fame. She is really great!
