Chapter 23 : C23
But “Brother Gu” really sounded strange to him, especially after being called that by Song Shi.
If he was being honest, he didn’t really like Song Shi calling him that…
As for her calling him Uncle Gu…
Thinking of it, Gu Chi had a heart attack.
“You just say, what do you want to tell me?”
“Oh! The person you guys picked him up from the lab, Zhang Bin. I think he’s a bit strange…”
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows, “What’s so strange about him?”
“Just last night, he went out…”
Chi Ying told Gu Chi what she saw the previous night.
Hearing that, Gu Chi didn’t speak for a while, thinking about her words.
“Any other problems?”
“Well, what’s more, his body temperature is a little cold, and his voice is also very strange.”
“Zhang Bin said he was not feeling well. These two points are symptoms of a bad cold, and they couldn’t be regarded as problems.”
Chi Ying agreed with him.
Moreover, she couldn’t think of other reasons for Zhang Bin’s change for a while.
“Is there anything else?”
Chi Ying shook her head.
Gu Chi nodded.
“Okay, I see. Thanks for letting me know.”
“Brother Gu, what are you doing?”
Song Shi looked at them with a smile, as if curious, but the vigilance and hostility toward Chi Ying in her eyes remained undiminished.
They finally dropped Chi Ying in the safe zone, but she shamelessly insisted on following them… It had only been a few days, and she wanted to hook up with Gu Chi?
She sneered in her heart.
Was she worthy of delusion?
“It’s nothing,” Gu Chi said lightly.
Song Shi reluctantly said, “If it’s nothing, why did the two of you come out early in the morning and talk for so long?”
Chi Ying couldn’t help but smile with her eyes bent.
‘Pfft, what a big sour melon.’ (Jealous)
Gu Chi stared at the smile on her lips for two seconds, a little confused.
What was so funny about it?
“We just happened to meet, so we just chatted for a while.”
“Brother Gu, are you going to lie to me?”
Song Shi finally couldn’t control it, and forgot to hide her affection for a while. Pointing to Chi Ying’s face, she said directly, “How many days has she been here?”
Gu Chi frowned, and asked strangely, “What does this have anything to do with her?”
What Chi Ying said about Zhang Bin, he didn’t want to tell others before he came to a conclusion. Once suspicion arose, it would not be easy to restore the relationship. It was precisely because of that, that he did not tell Song Shi the truth.
“Pack up your things first, I’ll talk to you guys later when I have a chance.”
Song Shi suppressed the jealousy in her heart, forced a smile, and had to give up.
…
On the way, Gu Chi felt that the situation was a bit abnormal. There were a lot of zombies encountered on the road, and they all seemed to be directed at them.
Zombie hordes were attacking collectively and purposefully, which had never happened before.
No, there was another time, at Experimental Base No. 36.
Lin Xun and the others in front were a little tired, and when they could hardly hold on, they heard Gu Chi’s voice from the communicator, “Exchange positions, you follow behind.”
After Mu Yu used her last bit of ability to clean up the zombies swarming up in front of the car, Lin Xun immediately slowed down the car, waiting for Lu Yunfei’s car to catch up.
After the location change, the situation really improved a lot. With Gu Chi in front, the group of zombies had no chance to get close. Just as they were about to pounce, they were pierced through the head by ice blades.
Lin Xun couldn’t help sighing.
Fortunately, Brother Gu, a seventh-level ability holder, was there. Otherwise, they would really be besieged by zombies due to the exhaustion of ability.
But Gu Chi wasn’t as relaxed as they imagined. Although he had seventh-level ability, he couldn’t handle fighting such a large group of zombies for several hours.
“Yunfei, change the route to the nearest shelter.”
“Huh? Shouldn’t we take a shortcut back to the headquarters?”
Unable to be distracted, Gu Chi replied without looking back, “Find a shelter first. What’s happening isn’t normal.”
When Lu Yunfei heard it, his expression turned a little dignified, “Understood.”
*
Looking down from the window on the top floor, Lu Yunfei felt his scalp tingling with nausea from the dense crowd of zombies downstairs. He was extremely glad that he listened to Gu Chi. They were besieged by those zombies for a full four hours. Fortunately, he changed his route in time and found a place of refuge before everyone’s powers were exhausted.
“Captain, what’s going on?”
Gu Chi shook his head.
Mu Yu also said in fear, “It’s too scary. I have never seen such a large number of zombies. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be so many zombies gathered on the road. But looking at the situation just now, it seems that they knew our route, it’s like they were consciously blocking us on the road…”
“Gu Chi?” Chi Ying probed her head and called him in a low voice.
Gu Chi turned to look at her.
Chi Ying waved at him, signaling him to come over.
She whispered, “I think… Zhang Bin should have done it.”
Gu Chi glanced at her and didn’t say anything, but he didn’t show any surprise.
After a while, he said, “What’s the reason?”
Chi Ying pursed her lips and said, “I remember when you were in the laboratory before, didn’t you say that the professor’s theory was verified or something?”
“That’s right. Professor Yu once said that in the continuous evolution of zombies, the leader with the highest force and wisdom will be selected. The rest of the low-level zombies will all obey the command of the leader. The group of zombies I met in the No. 36 Experimental Base before should have been commanded by the leader.”
“…You killed all the low-level zombies in the experimental base.” Chi Ying looked at him, “Then… What about the leader?”
Gu Chi looked at her, and said after a while, “Today’s situation is really weird.”
“That……”
“At present, no one in the alliance has seen the specific appearance of the zombie leader. For now, Zhang Bin did not show any mutation symptoms of low-level zombies.”
“…”
