The villainess is always pretending to be the Virgin Mary - Chapter 16

It was the same woman holding the child, with trembling hands, who tentatively took a bottle of water and compressed biscuits.

Trembling, she opened the package, broke some biscuits into small pieces with her nails, and stuffed them into the child’s mouth bit by bit.

Immediately afterward, the second and third person came to get food. The people behind also squeezed over, struggling to grab some food from there.

They hurriedly put the food in their hands into their mouths, as if they were afraid that someone would grab it.

[The value of the Virgin Mary is increased by ten, and the points are increased by 1000.]

[The value of the Virgin Mary is increased by five, and the points are increased by 500.]

The electronic sound of the system kept ringing, but Chi Ying didn’t seem to hear it. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground where only the paper bag was left, without saying a word for a long time.

Naturally, Lu Yunfei also saw the scene, he rubbed his forehead and shook his head.

With such a temperament, it would be strange not to starve to death in that era.

“Brother Gu, this girl… You have to teach her. This is the apocalypse, kindness is useless for survival.”

Gu Chi’s eyes flickered slightly, and after a while he said, “Mu Yu, take two bags of rice from the car and give it to them.”

Mu Yu obeyed, got up and walked to the car.

There was no rice in the car, so the supplies were all in her space. Gu Chi said they were in the car in order not to expose the fact that they were ability holders.

That was already a tradition every time they went to the C-level security area. Two big sacks of rice, although those dozens of people couldn’t last long, it could at least fill their stomachs.

“Chi Ying!” Lu Yunfei shouted loudly.

Chi Ying came back to her senses and walked toward them.

Lu Yunfei gestured at Gu Chi, “Captain, tell her.”

Learning to be “selfish” was the first criterion for surviving in the apocalypse.

“…”

Gu Chi’s lips tightened, and he only gave Chi Ying a casual look, but had no other reaction.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Lu Yunfei was a little anxious, “Captain, why don’t you speak?”

Gu Chi asked, “Say what?”

After all, the girl and they just met by chance, and a stranger had nothing to do with him.

He lowered his eyes and pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mocking.

He was not capable of saving all people. Whether she could survive in that world depended entirely on her luck. He could remind Chi Ying once or twice, but they had to leave after all…

“…”

Lu Yunfei froze for a moment. He rarely saw Gu Chi’s cold expression.

He kept silent.

Chi Ying felt like something was weird. She was called over, but they didn’t seem to have anything to say to her.

She glanced at Gu Chi carefully.

It always felt like he was sulking and angry at her.

Fortunately, Mu Yu finally came back at that time, which relieved the embarrassing atmosphere of the three of them a lot.

Carrying the bags of rice on her shoulder, she said, “Captain Gu, two bags of rice are here.”

“Um.”

Almost everyone in the safety zone turned their heads at that moment, staring closely at the rice on Mu Yu’s shoulders.

Mu Yu’s scalp was numb from the staring, and she let go quickly, throwing the two bags aside.

The people in the safe zone watched with eager eyes, but because of Lu Yunfei’s attack, they dared not act rashly for a while.

Mu Yu quietly leaned over beside Gu Chi, and asked, “Captain Gu, this rice… What should I do with it?”

“Same as usual. We’ll leave it to them when we leave.”

When hungry for days, people didn’t care about other things. But when those people were full, they would start to wonder where their food came from… So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they always handed over their supplies before they left.

“Everyone, rest early tonight.”

Knowing that she would stay there, Chi Ying consciously didn’t stay with Gu Chi and the others to sleep, but stuck into the group of women she had given food to.

She bowed slightly, and said softly, “Excuse me, can I use a space?”

Because of Chi Ying’s food, they treated her fairly well, and told her to find a place, which was in the far corner.

A curly-haired woman in her thirties saw her approaching and made room beside her. Because there was no water, the quilt was dirty, and the original white fabric was stained with many yellow and black stains.

Chi Ying recognized her. It was the mother with the child, and she was the first to take food.

Halfway through the woman’s movement, she seemed to realize that the things on her side were dirty, and her movements suddenly stopped.

But Chi Ying had already walked over in small steps, her brows and eyes smiling like crescent moons.

“Is it for me?”

The curly-haired woman was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

“Thank you,” Chi Ying sat down with her knees bent.

“……You are welcome.”

The woman subconsciously moved a little further away from Chi Ying.

Water resources in the safe zone were very scarce, and she hadn’t wiped her body or taken a bath for a long time, so she smelled bad in the summer.

But the little girl sitting next to her was clean, her skin was smooth, and she exuded a warm aura, as holy as a messenger from heaven.

She was momentarily stunned.

[The value of the Virgin Mary has increased by one.]

Um?

Chi Ying raised her eyes.

What did she do?

[. . . I didn’t expect that the value can be increased just by relying on the face.]

Chi Ying tilted her head to the left, just in time to meet the ecstatic gaze of the curly-haired woman.

“……What’s wrong?”

The woman snapped back to her senses and coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.

She was staring at someone of the same sex obsessively.
