The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary

In the end they ended up in a small abandoned factory.

There was also a similar off-road vehicle parked inside the factory, but the outer shell was a little worn, as if it had been scratched by the claws of some kind of beast. Obviously, that car had 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, she was waiting outside.

Lu Yunfei got out of the car first.

She smiled and said, “Brother Lu, how did things go?”

“Not bad, we found things 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 judgment,” Gu Chi came out from the other side and retorted upon hearing the words.

He didn’t want to take the credit himself, as it was just luck.

The woman’s smile faltered, but she quickly said, “No matter what, the result of you leading us 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.

“It’s 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, and her expression got 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.”

Song Shi’s eyes flickered, and 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 was overly sensitive.

Her tone was gentle as she said, “Okay. Chi Ying, right? Come with me first.”

*****

On 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, then said, “You are covered with zombie blood, I’ll go outside to get some water, so that you can wash it off.”

Chi Ying opened her mouth.

In fact, she also had water ability, so she could clean 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 now. It’s summer now. Can you wash 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 was so cold, not like the water temperature that was available in summer.

“Is it cold?” Mu Yu frowned, “If it feels cold, I’ll borrow the stove.”

“This is the water that Brother Gu made with his ability. He is a water ability holder that later mutated into an ice ability holder, so it will be a little icy. 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 was that Chi Ying really looked like a porcelain doll that may break when touched, so she always treated her with care subconsciously.

“No, it’s completely usable.”

Chi Ying felt a little guilty. Gu Chi’s power was already drained, but he still used it to give her water…

“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 didn’t have a table. Several people gathered together, and there were cooked dishes in the middle pot. But there were no fresh vegetables, and they were all instant dishes cooked with seasoning.

She scanned around and found a new face that she hadn’t seen before. He was a very tall and strong man.

But almost everyone else there 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.

“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.

Mu Yu pretended to glance at her inadvertently, seeing that she was eating bit by bit without any resistance, she was slightly relieved.

She always felt that Chi Ying’s temperament would be that of a spoiled young lady, and she was afraid that the food would be rejected.

Song Shi was also a little surprised. She had the same thought as Mu Yu, and was ready to listen to Chi Ying’s complaints.

For some reason, a feeling of discomfort suddenly surged up in her heart.

“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 he 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 striked up a conversation. It seemed that Chi Ying was isolated from them.

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 had both space and fire abilities, both of which were only third-level, so she recovered quickly.

“I recovered one-third,” Lu Yunfei frowned.

He had consumed too much before, and he was a fourth-level ability holder.

“Me too,” the tall man continued.

Gu Chi narrowed his eyes.

Song Shi said softly, “They have recovered a little in the past two days, but they are still less than half of their fullest ability.” 

Almost half of them recovered in just a few days. That was what she was most proud of.

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 cores by tonight. I hope that you will recover your full power by tomorrow.”

“You don’t need them, Captain Gu?” Mu Yu looked at him.

“I don’t.”

“Tsk, captain, your ability is really bottomless. Is this the difference between a sixth-level ability holder and me?” Lu Yunfei smiled and bumped his 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, he was like an old father who saved food and money for his children. How touching!

Sensing her gaze, Gu Chi raised his eyes and met the moved Chi Ying.

“…”

Song Shi noticed Gu Chi’s gaze on Chi Ying, and frowned. She said suddenly, “By the way, what are we going to do about Chi Ying 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 her, and you don’t have to sleep together.”

“Then I’ll stay with her. Mu Yu was out all day today, so she should be tired tonight.”

That could be described as being very understanding.

Gu Chi nodded casually and said nothing.
