Chapter 27 : C27
In fact, not all ability holders among humans were naturally awakened. There were a very small number of people who did not have awakening ability at the beginning of the apocalypse, but after being accidentally bitten by zombies, not only did they not mutate into zombies, but instead possessed an ability.
It was just that there were very few people in the category, the probability was less than one in ten thousand, and they were all the lucky ones who were envied by others.
Chi Ying could only remain silent.
It seemed that she had to wait for two days to convince him.
At the moment the “leader” died, the nearby zombies were out of order and were wandering around like headless flies.
Gu Chi held the chain on Chi Ying’s handcuffs with one hand, and the back collar of the “leader” with the other, lifting Zhang Bin’s entire body.
“Where are we going?” Chi Ying asked anxiously.
He must have thought she would mutate. Did he want to bury her?
Sensing what she was worried about, Gu Chi held back his anger and said, “Going back.”
*
In the abandoned office building, the people who were anxiously waiting for Gu Chi and the others to return were extremely anxious until there was a click of the doorknob turning.
“Brother Gu is back?” Song Shi stood up first.
The hearts of the rest of them finally returned to their stomachs, and they looked at the door that had just been opened.
Boom!
It wasn’t Gu Chi who entered the door first, but a human-like thing that was kicked in. The figure was humanoid, but it was covered with sticky dark red blood from head to toe, and some mucus that was unclear.
Lu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, got up subconsciously, and assumed a fighting posture. He stared at the unknown object for a few seconds, but couldn’t tell what it was.
“Zhang Bin!” Professor Lin shouted tremblingly when he saw who the man was.
Gu Chi also stepped into the door at that moment, holding Chi Ying behind him.
“Captain, what’s going on?”
Seeing that it was him, Lu Yunfei felt relieved.
Gu Chi then explained the ins and outs to them.
After listening, Lu Yunfei took a deep breath, then said, “Zhang Bin is actually the leader of the zombies? D*mn it, that’s why the zombies were so excited today! Fortunately, Captain, you found out earlier, otherwise we would be in big trouble.”
Gu Chi pursed his lips.
“Not me.”
The chain he was holding in his hand was gently squeezed, and he staggered to reveal Chi Ying behind him.
Lu Yunfei was stunned, and asked strangely, “Why not you? Besides, why is this girl tied up?”
He suddenly realized something, strode forward and walked behind Chi Ying.
Seeing the wound on her arm, his heart sank completely.
“Captain…..”
Mu Yu also vaguely sensed something. She stared at Chi Ying for a few seconds, and said in disbelief, “Captain Gu, is she infected by the zombie virus?”
Gu Chi lowered his eyes, and said, “Sorry, I was negligent…”
“Negligent? Could this be undone by an apology?” Lu Yunfei’s eyes were red.
“Brother Lu, what are you saying?!” Song Shi frowned, “Brother Gu is used to being cautious, even if he is negligent, it is impossible for him to let Chi Ying be infected.”
Lu Yunfei’s anger also eased a little. Realizing that he had spoken impulsively, he calmed down his emotions, and said, “I’m sorry Captain, I was too emotional.”
Song Shi glanced at Chi Ying, and continued, “It’s not that I’m unreasonable, but objectively speaking, with Chi Ying’s previous behaviors, if we did not protect her, today’s situation would have happened sooner or later.”
“…”
Lu Yunfei frowned, feeling that what she said sounded wrong, but he couldn’t analyze what was wrong.
That girl was indeed a little strange, and even sometimes he felt like she was in fact stretching her neck and sending herself into the zombie’s mouth…
“I think…” Mu Yu touched her hair and said awkwardly to Song Shi, “It’s our role to protect her, but I actually feel like we didn’t do anything.”
After being refuted, Song Shi’s face was not very good-looking, “We have been caring about her for so long, giving her supplies, food… Isn’t she protected by everyone who risked their lives?”
[Fu.k!]
Hearing the system’s voice, Chi Ying discovered some new world, and joked, “You also swear?”
[She is too much! You just followed them, except for throwing the cross sometimes, where did you cause any trouble? If the host hadn’t discovered something was wrong with Zhang Bin this time, they might have been dead by now!]
Chi Ying didn’t feel anything.
Gu Chi squeezed the chain tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. He looked at Chi Ying from the corner of his eye, only to find that her expression remained unchanged, as if she didn’t care that she was wronged at all.
[The value of the Virgin Mary has increased by one.]
Chi Ying’s eyes lit up.
Um?
That great good man gave her the Virgin Mary value for no reason again?
“It was Chi Ying who discovered Zhang Bin’s strange behavior this time.” Gu Chi raised his eyes, “She told me that Zhang Bin might be the leader of the zombies. I was afraid of alarming the enemy, so I asked her to keep it a secret from you.”
Lin Xun on the side was taken aback, and said, “No wonder you took her with you, Captain.”
Gu Chi looked at the crowd and said, “The reason why she was injured was also to protect me. If it is said that she acted without authorization, it was my own initiative to hide it from everyone.”
Chi Ying raised her head, a little surprised. She stared at Gu Chi’s back in a daze.
Why did he say that? Obviously she didn’t understand the situation herself, and. he didn’t need her to protect himself.
But……
Noticing everyone’s surprised eyes, especially Song Shi’s distorted face because of embarrassment, she quietly straightened her back.
She didn’t know why it felt so good.
