Chapter 40 : C40
When she returned to the base, the system finally recovered a little sanity: [You were so chic when you left, now, how will you go back?]
Her information was not entered into the alliance database, so it was impossible to leave.
Chi Ying didn’t speak, but walked half a circle around the base to the side.
[There is no door here at all.]
There was only one wall that was almost twenty meters high.
Chi Ying took the key from her waist and shook it in her hand, “Over this wall is Gu Chi’s greenhouse.”
[……What?!]
That time, the system followed her train of thought.
The key that Gu Chi gave Chi Ying could open the back door of the room, and that back door led to the greenhouse outside. In other words, Chi Ying could go back to the house from that greenhouse.
Only……
It looked at the extremely high wall, and said uncertainty: [It’s so high, can you get in?]
Chi Ying: “I’ll try.”
She took a deep breath, and with the strength of her jump, she maximized her wind ability. The twenty-meter-high wall was easily climbed by her.
The landing was even easier, as long as she relaxed her body with the upward wind.
First, her feet landed on the ground, and then Chi Ying’s upper body fell down uncontrollably. Fortunately, she controlled it very well, and only had one hand to hold her body steady. It was like a chivalrous man who knew how to do light work floated down from the roof, his movements were extraordinarily chic.
She said easily, “I landed safely!”
It was just that she didn’t hear the applause from the system.
[House, host…] The system didn’t sound right.
Chi Ying raised her head in doubt, first she saw a few yellow fruits on the ground, and then..
She saw Gu Chi holding two lemons in his hand.
She nearly stumbled.
Chi Ying: “…”
That was to say, was there such a possibility that Gu Chi may not have seen anything?
After self-deception, Chi Ying evoked a particularly sweet smile, “Good evening~”
Gu Chi stood up straight, and replied softly, “Good evening.”
He raised his head and glanced at the tens of meters high wall, “…So, how did you get in?”
Sitting on the sofa, Chi Ying twisted her fingers tightly.
Gu Chi asked her a question, but she was too shocked by the impact, so she couldn’t say a word.
So the place of interrogation changed from the greenhouse to Gu Chi’s room.
She was fidgeting, but Gu Chi was not in a hurry, and even thought about making lemonade.
He sliced two lemons, took an empty cup, threw all the lemon slices straight into it, and added water.
The glass was not big, and it was full of lemon slices. No one could tell whether he was soaking lemons in water or soaking water in lemons.
He handed over the cup.
“Thank you,” Chi Ying took it, thanked him very consciously, and then took a big sip from the cup.
“!!”
Sour!! Her teeth were about to fall out!
“Is it good?” Gu Chi asked ruthlessly.
“…Good, delicious.”
The corner of his lower lip twitched, but he said calmly, “Will you have another cup?”
Chi Ying immediately put down the cup, and quickly shook her head, “It’s so sour.”
Gu Chi then stopped.
He sat down opposite Chi Ying, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and said, “Wind ability?”
“…Um.”
“In the supermarket where I met you for the first time, there were wounds on two zombies that were obviously not right. ” He raised his eyes, “I thought it was someone with ability, who was gone from the place, but it turned out to be you.”
Chi Ying felt guilty.
“…Yes.”
“You’re quite honest. With this level of control, your strength should be higher than mine.”
Chi Ying nodded, and said unceremoniously, “Yes.”
It was not that it was above him, it must be far beyond.
Gu Chi: “…”
She was so immodest.
He rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a headache, “Then what about your spatial ability? Was it awakened before, or after being scratched by Zhang Bin?”
Chi Ying pursed her lips. Knowing that she probably couldn’t hide it, she said frankly, “It was there before.”
“Huh… I understand.” Gu Chi let out a long breath, then said, “These days, it’s good to know how to protect yourself. I understand, you don’t have to feel guilty.”
He looked at Chi Ying with a calm expression as he continued, “Whether it is discovering Professor Lin, or you raising suspicion about Zhang Bin, you have helped us a lot. You are not our team member, and so I am very grateful to you.”
Chi Ying was silent, and it took her a while to say, “Really?”
Gu Chi nodded firmly.
“…Then why did you make that cup of lemonade for me?”
It was so sour that she almost fainted, and she reasonably suspected that the man was deliberately taking revenge.
Gu Chi looked away uncomfortably.
“Thanking you is one thing, but I have the right to be angry,” he said with a serious face.
Chi Ying dared not speak out, and dared not refute at all.
She was wrong first, so it was better to keep silent at that time.
“We won’t stay at the headquarters for too long, and will leave in two days. If you still want to go to the B-level safe zone, I will give you a ride, this is my promise. But you have a good ability, so you will be much more comfortable staying at the headquarters.”
But his thoughts were far from being as peaceful as they seemed. For some reason, he very much hoped that Chi Ying could stay at the headquarters. It was as if he was still looking forward to seeing her again.
“I’m not going to the safe zone, but I want to go with you.” Chi Ying tightened her fingertips and unconsciously pulled the corner of her clothes, “I’m strong, and I have space, and I don’t lack supplies…”
Gu Chi was so surprised that he raised his head but was speechless.
“Can I join you?”
