MTL - The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary-Chapter 12

Three days after leaving the safe zone, Chi Ying's focus in the past few days has gradually shifted from cutting the cross on the car to observing Zhang Bin.

In the past few days, she felt more and more strange about this man...

First, when she handed him the rice bowl on the first night, she found that his body temperature was not like that of a normal person, but very cold, as if... the body temperature of a person who had been dead for a while.

And later, it was his voice when he spoke. Although Zhang Bin explained that he had a cold recently, so his voice sounded a little hoarse...

But according to Chi Ying's observation, although his voice is similar to the nasal voice of human beings when they are sick, there is still a slight difference. For example, his hoarse voice seemed to be accompanied by the panting sound of "ho ho".

After discovering this, she began to pay attention to Zhang Bin's state intentionally. Originally, she didn't think too much about it until last night...

When he was with everyone during the day, Zhang Bin was still very normal, but last night, when everyone was resting, his behavior could be called...weird.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Bin got up secretly and left the place where they camped.

And because of her good hearing, she woke up when she heard the sound, and followed her secretly.

They hadn't reached the city yet, they stopped on a side road, which Gu Chi said was the shortest way to the headquarters.

Even though the road was blocked by trees, Chi Ying followed with trepidation. Because Zhang Bin seemed to be very cautious, and every few steps he would look back to see if anyone woke up.

He walked very lightly, as if to prevent others from hearing, and he relaxed his body only after walking several hundred meters. He looked around, as if about to start some kind of mysterious ritual.

Chi Ying squatted behind the tree, the silvery moonlight hit the treetops, spilled down along the gap, and landed on her unblocked shoes, which was a bit conspicuous at first glance. Seeing it, she hurriedly retracted her legs carefully,

Fortunately, Zhang Bin was too focused and didn't realize that there was a little tail behind him.

He spread his arms, raised his neck, and barely stopped until his head was almost parallel to the ground.

Chi Ying couldn't help wondering if his cervical spine was still alive?

After all, this is really not like the arc that a human neck can bend.

She thought quite seriously, does this person really believe in any religion? That's why he ran out in the middle of the night and made this inhuman posture to perform some kind of ritual?

This pious energy... Our Lady should let him be!

While she was thinking wildly, Zhang Bin suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the space in his throat was compressed and made a small sharp sound.

Chi Ying watched in surprise as he maintained this posture for a full five minutes.

She frowned.

It doesn't feel like a sacrifice, but rather like sending some kind of message...

However, do humans also have this way of transmitting information, why has she never heard of it?

Just thinking about it, Zhang Bin's strange posture had returned to normal. He also looked around, turned around and returned to the camp they set up next to the car.

Afraid of being discovered by him, Chi Ying stayed where she was for a while longer. After more than ten minutes passed, she stood up and went back quietly.

There's something really wrong with this guy...

She thought about it, and decided to find a time tomorrow to tell Gu Chi. Maybe he can understand the meaning of that scene just now.

the next day.

In the morning, Chi Yang struggled to get up early.

I didn’t feel it in the game before, but now that I am a real person, I feel that being able to sleep more is simply a great joy in life.

Gu Chi was not in the same car as her, and their lunch was all portable fast food, which was settled hastily in the car. In other words, if she didn't catch him at this time in the morning, she might not have the chance to find Gu Chi to discuss what happened last night alone all day.

In the early morning of summer, even in the last days, its beauty is not inferior. The four cuckoo cuckoo cries mixed with crickets are the unique sounds of summer before the end of the world.

But in the last days where zombies are rampant and human beings are in a critical situation, the voice they hear is the same as before, which inevitably makes people feel dazed for a while.

It was very noisy, but Gu Chi rarely felt that there was a bit of tranquility in this last days.

"Gu Chi!"

"..." Gu Chi gritted his back molars unhappily.

Moreover, no matter how many times, he was still not used to Chi Ying calling his name directly.

"Ok."

"I want to tell you something." Chi Ying was afraid that Zhang Bin would wake up suddenly, so she whispered.

"Before that, I want to ask you a question."

Chi Ying was taken aback, but still nodded.

"How old are you?"

Ok?

Chi Ying was puzzled. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

"...I'm eighteen." In fact, she was set in the original game as a two-hundred-year-old fairy...

However, she will always be eighteen, as beautiful as a flower!

However, since the game was launched, it has only been about 20 years, and it is not too much to say that she is eighteen.

The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched, and he said with a serious face, "Tell the truth."

"…twenty."

It has indeed been almost twenty years since she became conscious.

twenty…

Gu Chi pursed his lips tightly. Almost ten years younger than him.

No wonder he always couldn't understand this girl's behavior, and always thought it was like performance art.

He thought deeply: So this is the generation gap of ten years apart?

Sure enough, ordinary people say that the generation gap is insurmountable, and now it seems that it still makes sense.

"What's wrong?" Chi Ying asked.

"You call me by my name, but I'm ten years older than you."

Chi Ying tilted her head. Do you think it's impolite to call him that?

"Then...Brother Gu?" She hesitated for a few seconds, "Gu, Uncle Gu?"

"..."

Gu Chi took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He originally wanted Chi Ying to change his words. It still sounded awkward when a girl ten years younger than him called his name.

But "Brother Gu" really sounds strange to him, especially after being called that by Song Shi.

To be honest, he doesn't really like Song Shi calling him that...

As for Uncle Gu...

Thinking of the title Chi Ying called just now, Gu Chi had a heart attack.

"You just said, what do you want to tell me?"

"Oh! You guys picked him up from the lab, Zhang Bin. I don't think he's strange..."

Gu Chi raised his eyebrows.

"What's so strange?"

"Just last night, I went out with him..."

Chi Ying told Gu Chi what she saw last night.

Hearing this, Gu Chi didn't speak for a while, thinking about her words.

"Are there 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 can't be regarded as problems."

Chi Ying agreed with this. This reason does explain the past.

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 towards Chi Ying in his eyes remained undiminished.

she thought to herself.

After finally putting this woman in the safe zone, she shamelessly insisted on following up... It's nothing more than following up, it's only been a few days, and you want to hook up with Gu Chi?

She sneered in her heart.

Don't even look at who Gu Chi is, is she worthy of delusion?

"It's okay." Gu Chi said lightly.

Song Shi reluctantly said: "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 taste.

Gu Chi stared at the smile on her lips for two seconds, a little confused.

What's so funny about that?

"It just happened to come out, so we just chatted a few words."

"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 and said directly: "How many days has she been here?"

Gu Chi frowned, and asked strangely, "What does this have 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 arises, it is not easy to restore the relationship. It is precisely because of this 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 today's situation was a bit abnormal. There are a lot of zombies encountered on the road today, and they all seem to be directed at them.

Zombie hordes are attacking collectively and purposefully, which has never been done before.

No, there was another time, at Experimental Base No. 36.

Lin Xun and the others in front were a little tired from coping, 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 his last bit of power 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, Dui Gu, a level 7 supernatural being, was there, otherwise they would really be besieged by zombies this time due to the exhaustion of supernatural powers.

But Gu Chi wasn't as relaxed as they imagined. Although he has level seven abilities, such a large group of zombies can't bear the consumption for several hours.

"Yunfei, look at the route to the nearest city."

"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. These things are not normal."

When Lu Yunfei heard this, his expression was 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's judgment, 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 here?"

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 Knowing our itinerary, it's like 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 your 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 be It was 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?"

Chinese New Year is coming!
