The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary

At night, Chi Ying followed the arrangement to stay 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.

“Um.”

In the dark, Chi Ying wrinkled her nose.

Since the person clearly knew her name, why bother to ask again?

“Why did you appear in the supermarket today? Judging from the crystal cores brought back by Brother Gu, the number of zombies is not small. How did you survive there?”

“I 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 she understand what she meant?

She felt uncomfortable, so she simply said, “Oh,” and didn’t speak again.

But Song Shi obviously didn’t want the conversation to end there.

“You have seen Gu Chi use his ability today, right?”

“……Um.”

“Haha, do you think he is very powerful, and feel envious of him?”

“…”

His ability wasn’t bad.

“You won’t be an ability holder, right?”

“…” Chi Ying didn’t know how to answer. She had powers similar to those of an ability holder, but she was not an ability holder.

“Everyone in the world envies the power of the ability holders, 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 was this person trying to say?

“Don’t worry, we will safely send you to the safe zone. I’m telling you as an ability holder, you’d better not get involved in our world.”

“…”

Now that Chi Ying could hear the yin and yang (detestation) in her words, she turned over and closed her eyes with displeasure.

This woman was really sick.

At 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.

She yawned as she walked past the doors of each cubicle. When she reached the last cubicle, she stopped.

There she pressed her ear to the wall, but couldn’t hear anything.

Gu Chi must be asleep, right?

The system wondered: [Why did you ask me to wake you up at this time?]

Chi Ying: “To come out and give him a little reward.”

[What reward?]

Chi Ying closed her eyes and put her hands on the wall.

She remembered that the one called Gu Chi had water and ice ability…

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?] It was clear that the system was a little surprised from its tone.

The system didn’t expect that Chi Ying’s ability was so strong that she could transmit such a huge amount of energy through the wall.

For ability holders, energy transmission was a very simple matter. But very few people did it.

Passing on the ability to another person was an option that a person would consider only when their life was in danger. There was no other reason, only because the loss in the process of energy transmission was greater than that transmitted to the other party.

For example, when two people transmit energy through physical contact, the receiver could only obtain 40% of the sender’s energy, and the remaining 60% would be consumed in the process.

And like Chi Ying at that moment, sending the energy directly through the wall…

According to the system’s judgment, at least 90% of it was lost.

That method of using energy was too extravagant.

It couldn’t help but let out the same sigh as Gu Chi.

She was really inhumane!

The next day, everyone got up early to pack their things as they had to go on their way that day.

The only thing that surprised them was that Gu Chi hadn’t gotten up yet.

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 yet?”

Song Shi also felt a little strange, “Could it be that since he killed so many zombies yesterday, he is too tired?”

“It’s also possible…” Lu Yunfei said so, but he still felt that it was unlikely.

There had been many more difficult times before, and Gu Chi had never been in such a situation.

He put down the bag in his hand, still not at ease.

“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, when it suddenly opened from the inside.

It was Gu Chi.

“Sorry, I’m 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.

He didn’t think before, but compared with a day before, Gu Chi was like a person who rested at home for half a year after resigning!

“Um?”

“You seem energized today.”

“Really.” He paused, “Maybe it’s because of my breakthrough…”

“Oh, breakthrough… Wait, what?”

Mu Yu almost thought she 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.

“D*mn it, aren’t you already seventh-level now?!” Lu Yunfei was extraordinarily excited, “You’re the number one! You’re even more powerful than Ye Wuhan!”

Gu Chi was still pressing the door with one hand, his head lowered, showing no emotion.

He always felt something weird. It was clear that he had not reached the time to break through.

Standing behind the crowd, Chi Ying smiled softly.

Ah, hidden merit and fame. She was really a great person!
