Chapter 73 : C73
At night, Song Shi frantically rubbed the bruised skin with her hand, even though it had healed as before.
It was just a wound, and there was no bleeding at all.
There was no trace at all, so she would be fine.
She obviously looked normal, but she knew that her brain was heating up.
That was clearly a precursor to infection with the zombie virus…
That person said that as long as she thought clearly, she could be cured, but…
“Song Shi, what’s wrong with you?” Mu Yu rubbed her eyes and popped her head out from under the quilt.
Song Shi just sat straight and didn’t speak.
She was eager to find comfort from someone, but that person was obviously not Mu Yu.
She stood up suddenly, startling Mu Yu next to her. Even Chi Ying, who didn’t want to talk to her, couldn’t help but glance at her.
“It’s so late, where are you going?”
Song Shi still didn’t answer, and walked out directly.
“What’s the situation? Why is she ignoring me all of a sudden?” Mu Yu complained.
Chi Ying yawned.
She had long been used to that attitude.
…
Gu Chi, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard footsteps outside the tent.
He opened his eyes.
Could it be Chi Ying?
Chi Ying came to look for him in the middle of the night before.
Lu Yunfei and Lin Xun were already asleep, so he hurriedly dressed and went out without making a sound.
“Brother Gu…”
Seeing that it was Song Shi who came, Gu Chi had an unspeakable sense of loss for some reason.
“Brother Gu, can I talk to you?”
Gu Chi was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.
Not knowing what Song Shi was going to say to him, she walked ahead and stopped only fifty meters away from their resting place.
“Why did you come out so late? Aren’t you not in good shape these days?” Gu Chi asked.
“It’s just a bit of a headache.” Song Shi bit her lip, “Brother Gu, what are your plans after all the zombies are gone?”
“Me?” Gu Chi shook his head, “I’m not sure, but after all the zombies are cleaned up by humans, a long period of recovery would be needed, after all, there will be no idle time.”
“For such a long time, won’t you think about personal things?” As if afraid of being seen through by him, she hurriedly added, “Because you never mentioned that, I’m just curious about this aspect.”
Gu Chi frowned, not quite understanding why she came to ask him such a question at night.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Song Shi clenched her fist unwillingly.
“Is there anything else?”
“No, nothing.”
“Well, since you’re not feeling well, go to bed early,” Gu Chi raised his leg and prepared to go back.
Suddenly, he paused, as if thinking of something.
He turned his head and said, “By the way, call me captain from now on.”
Song Shi was stunned, and asked incredulously, “Why?”
Gu Chi clenched his hand, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
It was indeed a bit abrupt to make such a request all of a sudden.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I’m not used to it.”
“If you were not used to it, why didn’t you mention it before?” Song Shi’s eyes were full of hatred.
Was the woman going to take away even her special thing?
“Why?”
Gu Chi froze suddenly.
Yeah, why?
“I’m sorry, I… can’t tell,” Gu Chi said.
Although Song Shi called him brother before, it sounded awkward, but he didn’t feel the need to mention it. However, ever since Chi Ying said “Your Brother Gu” next to his ear the previous time, he felt uncomfortable when he heard Song Shi call him that again.
Song Shi sneered, and said, “It can’t be because of Chi Ying, right? Because you like her, so you don’t want me not to call you brother?”
She didn’t think Gu Chi had any special thoughts about Chi Ying, but just wanted to force him to give up the idea. What Gu Chi was interested in was Chi Ying’s ability, which she knew early on.
Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to deny it. He opened his mouth, but suddenly something opened up in his mind.
Because he liked her?
He froze on the spot for a while, only feeling that his heart was beating fast.
Song Shi couldn’t wait for his reply.
After a long time, she heard a very solemn voice that sounded like a promise—
“Yes.”
…
In the tent fifty meters away from the two, Chi Ying, who had excellent hearing, silently tucked in the quilt. Her originally closed eyes were forced to open at this moment, as she lost all sleepiness.
She had heard something terrible.
The next day, they found more corpses that were suspected of being ability holders, but the investigation on the source still made no progress.
At first, Gu Chi thought that it would have something to do with the zombie leader, but then he also denied the idea.
First of all, the red spots on the skin of those ability holders were not signs of infection with the zombie virus.
Also, in the three days since they reached there, they hardly saw a few living zombies. Occasionally, some fell to the ground and were not completely dead, and they could be dealt with with a single shot. There was no reason for those fourth-level or even fifth-level ability holders to be trapped by them.
What made him feel the most strange was that there were so many zombie corpses.
In the past few days, he checked the scars on many zombies to find out what caused their death, but the result surprised him.
From them, he discovered five different abilities. And judging from the way of using the ability and the fighting style, it didn’t look like it was done by different people with different abilities, but more like it was done by one person.
It was as if there was a person with similar abilities as Chi Ying… He possessed a variety of abilities which were all powerful.
But he was sure that the person had nothing to do with Chi Ying. One was that the timings did not make sense at all. Chi Ying had been following them for the past few months, so it was impossible for her to have time to go to Yuhu City; the other was that the wounds on the bodies of the zombies were not huge, although very powerful, it was not like Chi Ying’s style.
Gu Chi silently affirmed.
Well, she always killed zombies by beheading them at the same time.
