MTL - The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary-Chapter 24
early the next day.
Chi Ying has space, and there is nothing to pack, except for the big carrot that Mu Yu asked Mu Yu to put in the space the day before, it is almost done.
Outside the headquarters, many people were sending them off outside. Apart from Gu Chi's status as a senior commander, there was also the reason why they brought back the zombie leader this time.
For the Human Alliance, it is very precious to be able to grasp any evolutionary information about zombies in advance, even for a few seconds.
Yun Ling was also among them, seeing her off with teary eyes, no matter how dark Ye Wuhan's face was beside him.
Seeing that everyone was in their seats, Gu Chi said, "Get in the car, let's go."
…
The off-road vehicle slowly left the headquarters, and Chi Ying looked back at the 100-meter-high iron wall. Obviously only stayed for three days, but this is indeed the place where she encountered the best atmosphere after coming to this end-apocalyptic world...
Perhaps before the end of the world, most of the human beings are so cute, only in the face of extreme fear and hunger, their warm parts slowly disappear.
[The host is about to get ready. 】
Chi Ying regained consciousness: What?
[A real war between humans and zombies is about to begin. 】The sound of the system is a bit heavy.
[In the original book, from the day when the first zombie boss appeared, the Human Alliance discovered that the number of bosses has gradually increased, and the evolution rate has become faster and faster. 】
【Until now, most of the difficulties faced by human beings have been caused by the shortage of materials. But when leaders start to be produced everywhere, it will be more than that. 】
Chi Ying was silent.
The system changed the subject, pointed and said: [So in order to solve the human predicament, the host should save up the Holy Mother value! The unrestrained squandering like the past few days must never happen again in the future. 】
Chi Ying: "..."
Talked for a long time, just for this?
【Cough, I also want the host to save the world as soon as possible... At that time, the host can return to his original world to live well. 】
Chi Ying froze for a moment.
She said in a daze: You said... go back?
[Yes, after the host completes the task, the main world will provide you with a new body, and you don't have to stay in the game that has been closed. Of course, the host can also choose to stay here in the future, but compared to the end of the world, your original world is happier, right? 】
Chi Ying didn't speak for a long time.
She never thought about what the system would bring her, so she didn't ask at first.
go back...
It seems to be very good, she also misses those players who chat with her npc.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she seemed to be distracted, Gu Chi asked with his head tilted.
"Ah..." Chi Ying smiled at him, "It's nothing."
"Yeah." Gu Chi didn't think too much, and reminded her: "I mentioned to you before that the supply team and the exploration team encountered a group of abnormal zombies. The place we arrived the day after tomorrow was the one provided by one of the supply teams. s position."
"But don't worry, we will observe the situation in the nearby safe area first, and will not take reckless risks."
…
As the night approached the next day, they finally arrived at their destination—a B-level security area in the West District.
Speaking of a safe zone, compared to a gathering place without any source of life like a C-level safe zone, a B-level is more like a different kind of village.
Chi Ying took a look at this so-called safe zone, and found that it didn't seem as safe as imagined.
Nearby is an open open-air farmland, where crops and some relatively easy-to-raise fruits and vegetables are planted, and it is obvious that someone is taking care of it on a daily basis.
In this way, there is a source of food, but there is no way to guarantee its safety.
Surrounded by these fields are more than a dozen large buildings that resemble several-storey villas, surrounded by scattered country houses, most of which are also gathered together.
As she was observing, she heard a voice from a villa in the center.
"Outside, are you sent by the headquarters?"
Chi Ying looked up and found that the window below was slit open, and a loudspeaker protruded from it.
Lu Yunfei was obviously used to this way of shouting, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Yes—Alliance Exploration Team—"
As he spoke, he took out a dark blue card from his pocket, opened it and raised it up as a gesture.
After a while, the door of the villa opened. A fat man came out from inside, he looked no more than thirty years old.
Chi Ying took a look.
This person is also an ability user, and the ability level is about four levels.
After he approached, he looked at everyone and said, "You came here after receiving the notice from the supply team that was here before?"
Gu Chi nodded.
The man introduced himself: "My name is Li Quan, I am a fourth-level superhuman, and I am also the general manager of the No. 237 security zone in the West Zone."
"It's not safe outside, come in first."
After entering the safe zone, Chi Ying realized that there was a lot of space inside.
There are a lot of people in the villa, and at least forty people live in the three quite large floors. Counting the rest of the dozen or so villas of the same size and the surrounding huts, it is conservatively estimated that there are about a thousand people.
"The people who stay here are the nearby villagers, who survived after the outbreak of the virus." Li Quan explained.
Chi Ying glanced at the surrounding environment, there were seven or eight guns|arms hanging on the wall, and there were traces of recent use. Not only that, but besides Li Quan, she sensed that there were two lower-level supernatural beings in this villa.
Li Quan suddenly turned around to look at Gu Chi, and asked, "Are you the team leader? What's your name?"
"Gu Chi."
"Then I'll call you Team Gu." Li Quan smiled, "I'll just say it straight, we don't have many supernatural beings here, and we have to guard the entire safety zone. When you go on a mission, we may not be able to help you. Too busy."
Li Quan was a little embarrassed when he said this.
To be honest, the B-level security zone has always been in a dilemma. The A-level area is a complete supplier, with relatively sufficient food, while the C-level area is the supplier, and all sources depend on the alliance.
However, although there are food sources in Area B, there is almost no surplus; although there are supernatural beings, the combat power is not enough to resist zombies, and even requires weapons and guns from the Human Alliance.
Now the alliance sends people to carry out the task, but these few supernatural beings can't even help at all...
Gu Chi raised his eyes and didn't care.
"Understandable."
Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help worrying: "I heard from the headquarters that the place you are looking for is a big city, and there are a lot of zombies there. Just these few of you..."
"Don't worry, we will do what we can." Gu Chi said very conservatively.
…
Li Quan cleaned up two rooms for them separately, because the place is not too big after all, it would be good to have two separate rooms for men and women.
It was the first time Mu Yu slept with Chi Ying, she seemed a little excited, holding her gun and wiping it, while talking to her a lot. It's all trivial things, and there are even all kinds of gossip.
As Chi Ying listened, she suddenly felt that her filter towards Mu Yu had been broken... Where did that tsundere girl from before go?
Mu Yu didn't notice that her image had collapsed, and she still kept talking.
"Obviously I am the most advanced team, and now everyone has at least level 4 abilities, but I am still stagnant at level 3... Especially Song Shi, who was obviously the last to join the team, but the current level of abilities is so low. Taller than me."
Song Shi smiled softly, "Your dual-line ability is not easy to upgrade..."
Mu Yu still sighed. She suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What about you, Chi Ying? What is the level of your space ability now?"
"Ah, it shouldn't be too high..." Chi Ying said guiltily.
"That's right, your ability is not an ordinary ability, and it's not convenient to estimate the level."
She continued: "By the way, you have just joined the team, so I still know some things better than you."
"Tomorrow I guess I have to act in groups."
"Group?" Chi Ying asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, if the six of us act together, the efficiency will be too low. Team Gu will definitely ask for division."
"Oh~" Chi Ying nodded.
"You don't have an offensive ability, so you might be assigned to be with Lin Xun or me." Mu Yu guessed, "Generally, Captain Gu is with that kid Lu Yunfei, and they usually have a tacit understanding."
"That's it..."
Chi Ying felt a little regretful.
I always feel that she doesn't seem to be able to help much after she came to the team...
…
Before dawn, Gu Chi and the others had already left the villa to assign tasks next to the two cars.
"Divide into groups." Gu Chi looked at the crowd.
Mu Yu bumped Chi Ying's shoulder from behind and raised an eyebrow at her.
See, she's right?
Chi Ying: "..."
She secretly gave a thumbs up cooperatively.
Great!
"Cough." Gu Chi clenched his fist and covered his lower lip, reminding them both.
Chi Ying immediately put away her fingers and listened to him obediently.
"Song Shi, you are with Lin Xun."
"Mu Yu..."
Mu Yu looked up.
"And Lu Yunfei, you two together."
"Huh?" Lu Yunfei couldn't hide his surprise.
This is... he was abandoned by Gu Chi?
Gu Chi raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Is there any question?"
"No, no."
It wasn't just Lu Yunfei who was surprised.
Song Shi raised her head in disbelief after listening to the allocation method.
"Chi Ying is new here, I'll take her first." Gu Chi said seriously.
However, in fact, Gu Chi's thinking was: If Chi Ying was with the other team members, then her abilities would definitely be useless.
He pulled the corner of his lower lip, and his gaze passed over Chi Ying inadvertently.
What a joke, how could she be idle with such a level of supernatural power and the existence of a top-level killer?
With Mu Yu's shoulders on Chi Ying's shoulders, she inexplicably felt a chill down her back.
How does it feel like she is being watched by someone?
"It's near here."
After everyone got out of the car, Lu Yunfei glanced at the red mark on the communicator and said so.
He looked at the once extremely prosperous city full of high-rise buildings in front of him, and his scalp tingled.
Ordinary small cities are fine. This kind of developed city that was once overcrowded is an area that every exploration team is absolutely unwilling to go deep into, because the number of zombies inside is far denser than other places.
"Captain, the situation is not good..." he said with a headache.
Gu Chi just remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"It's not just that..." He suddenly lowered his face, "Yunfei, ask the headquarters if the supply team here before can still be contacted."
"what?"
Lu Yunfei was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this? Shouldn't they notify the headquarters after they are out of danger?"
"Heh..." Gu Chi sneered.
"Do you think there is any supply team that is not afraid of death, and would pick such a place to pass by?"
