Chi Ying stretched out her index finger and pressed the top of his hair, and put his ear on the oval cabin.

Gu Chi’s eyes lit up.

It was the sound of human fingernails rubbing against the material of the cabinet!

He got up quickly.

That was the sample storage compartment, which was usually the place where corpses were stored, and there should be a button to open it.

He fumbled around the storage compartment, and finally found the switch button on the right side.

The hatch opened, revealing the old man inside whose face was red and purple due to lack of oxygen. When the air entered the inner cabin, he took a big gulp of the outside air.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

“Teacher!” The surviving man said in surprise when he saw the old man in the cabin.

Gu Chi immediately prepared to open the other ones.

“There’s no one in them,” Chi Ying whispered.

She heard no other sounds from the large boxes.

Gu Chi paused, but still bent down to press it stubbornly.

“It’s useless, Commander Gu.” The old man said suddenly, “I was sent in by my last student. There is no one else in the storage cabin…”

“…”

Gu Chi slowly put his hand down and straightened up.

“Song Shi, check them for injuries, and then stay under the access door to wait for orders. Just now, Professor Lin was deprived of oxygen for a long time. If there is any problem, report it in time.”

“Okay, Brother Gu.”

“For the rest of the people, those frozen zombies had not been solved. We need to cut off the heads of those guys to ensure that they will not be resurrected. Don’t forget to collect all the crystal cores, understand?”

“Clear.”

“Clear!”

“We understand, Captain Gu.”

Chi Ying pursed her lower lip.

The person should be sad, but he seldom showed his negative emotions.

Lu Yunfei took out a knife from the inner pocket of his clothes, and mercilessly cut off the head of the zombie closest to him.

The others also stepped forward to deal with the frozen zombies.

Gu Chi beheaded halfway through, when he suddenly thought that there was an overly soft-hearted person standing behind him. She had cried so much when she saw zombies being killed before. So seeing such a bloody scene, she may be scared out and have a psychological shadow…

Gu Chi turned his head to look in Chi Ying’s direction, and said directly, “You…”

He couldn’t say the rest.

Gu Chi looked at Chi Ying who was holding up a zombie’s head and staring at its eyes, unable to speak for a long while.

When he lowered his head again, a headless zombie with a bumpy neck stood out. Judging from the broken marks on its neck, it  seemed that it was broken off by hand.

Obviously, the girl holding the zombie’s head and staring at it was the culprit.

Gu Chi: “…”

He turned his head silently, and quietly continued cutting melons and vegetables.

But after cutting two zombies’ heads, he couldn’t help being impulsive, and turned his head to look in Chi Ying’s direction again.

She was holding the head, shaking it vigorously up and down.

An unidentified object covered with red ice fell from the cut surface under the head.

When Chi Ying saw it, she clamped the head with one hand, squatted down and picked up the fallen piece of ice with the other hand.

Without any psychological barriers, she wiped off the outer layer with her hand until the scarlet crystal core inside was exposed.

She raised her hand and stared at the crystal core in the direction of the light for a while.

The structure inside the irregular lens was beautiful, shining brightly under the light. Before the zombie virus broke out, no one would have thought that such a beautiful gem would be born from those disgusting zombies.

When Chi Ying put her hand down, she realized that someone beside her seemed to be staring at her for a long time. She turned her head and found that it was Gu Chi who was supposed to cut the heads of the zombies.

“…”

Um?

Gu Chi snapped back to his senses and turned away from her.

He took a deep breath, thinking that nothing was surprising anymore.

He gritted his teeth, couldn’t help being impulsive, and glanced over there secretly again.

The harmless girl was putting the head back on the zombie’s body…

 It was just that because the head was pulled directly from the body, the cut surface was uneven, and Chi Ying shook it a few times. Therefore, at that time, when the head was placed on it, it was impossible to connect perfectly.

The zombie’s head was raised at a strange angle, and the entire face was almost facing the ceiling.

Then, the girl took out the cross from her pocket, and placed it firmly between its eyebrows.

She clasped her fingers in a circle, closed her eyes and prayed silently for him.

Under the light, the holy and beautiful face glowed with a soft halo. The girl’s long curled eyelashes drooped down, and her whole body exuded a sacred and warm radiance, as beautiful as a painting.

Anyone who saw the scene would firmly believe without hesitation that the girl praying quietly in front of them was an angel sent from heaven.

If Gu Chi hadn’t seen the series of operations…

“…”

There was a crack in Gu Chi’s calm expression, and he turned his head quickly.

One more look, and he felt like he was going insane.

“Captain, I’ve finished here.”

“Me too.”

Gu Chi nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Our task objective needs to be temporarily changed. We need to send Professor Lin and the student back to the alliance headquarters first.”

Others heard the words and had no objection.

Gu Chi looked at everyone, and said, “Go to Song Shi’s side and then wait for me in the car.”

After everyone left, Gu Chi searched the entire laboratory to make sure that nothing was missed before walking away.

Before leaving, he took another look at the zombie with the cross hanging on it.

As if sensing his thoughts, the cross wobbled and fell from the forehead.

“…”

Gu Chi picked it up from the ground and put it in its original position.

He turned his head impatiently.
