The villainess is always pretending to be the Virgin Mary - Chapter 81

Hearing his solemn tone, Chi Ying had a bad feeling in her heart. She had the urge to cover Gu Chi’s mouth.

Help, don’t talk!

Gu Chi looked straight at her, “I like you.”

[Oho.] The system was eating melons.

Chi Ying shook her hand. She took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and said, “Open your mouth!”

Gu Chi was stunned.

Was his voice too low, or did he not speak clearly?

“That, I said I like you,” he repeated.

“I said open your mouth!”

Gu Chi: “…”

When Chi Ying reached out and patted his face lightly, Gu Chi opened his mouth in a daze.

The medicine in the test tube was poured down.

“Okay.”

Gu Chi wanted to struggle again, “I just said…”

He wanted to repeat it again, but he caught a glimpse of Chi Ying’s red ear tips hidden under her hair.

He swallowed the second half of the sentence silently, and fell silent,

“…I heard it,” Chi Ying didn’t dare to look up at him.

Gu Chi’s fingers on the side tightened.

“The bottle of medicine just appeared in my space a few days ago, it can cure the zombie virus. With it, you will be fine.”

Gu Chi was slightly startled, but did not doubt her words.

“So, if you have anything to say, you can take your time.”

Chi Ying’s heart trembled.

After exchanging the healing medicine and bandages from the mall and handing them over to Gu Chi, Chi Ying took a few steps back and sat in the corner opposite him, trying to look calm.

Gu Chi took the medicine by himself, then looked at her, “You have to be careful…”

“Yes!”

Gu Chi: “…”

Feeling that her reaction was a little too much, Chi Ying swallowed her saliva, “What to be careful of?”

“They may take you to that place – the laboratory where the energy is extracted, and they should do it by today.”

“But why? Does the extraction of energy have anything to do with mutating into a zombie leader?”

“Hmm, there is a high probability of that, otherwise they would not use those instruments at the risk of being discovered. This machine is very loud.” 

When Gu Chi raised his head and scratched the wound on his neck, he raised his hand and touched it lightly.

Chi Ying still had no idea about the machine he was talking about that could extract energy.

“I should be able to break free from it. It’s okay, I can destroy that instrument.”

Gu Chi shook his head, “It’s difficult, they are very cautious. I observed it last night, and the material of its shell is very unusual. Even a large-scale explosion is unlikely to cause damage.”

“Unless it is destroyed from the inside, it is basically impossible.”

“Ohh…” Chi Ying felt a little regretful.

“However, how to destroy it from the inside?”

“Operation error, or the system gets damaged due to some fault.”

Chi Ying nodded.

“Do you have any idea who made it?”

Gu Chi was silent for a moment, and then said after a long time, “There was an old professor named Ren Li in the Human Ability Research Institute at the headquarters. If we say that Professor Yu is the most authoritative of the Zombie Research Institute, then Professor Ren is an old man of equal status in the Human Ability Research Institute.”

“It used to be,” he added.

“Not now?”

Gu Chi narrowed his eyes, and continued to say, “Half a year ago, Professor Ren left the Human Alliance angrily because a certain research proposal was rejected by the headquarters. I also know something about that. He wanted to use ability holders as experimental samples for research…”

“Experimental samples, what do you mean?”

“Doing human experiments on ability holders in the headquarters.”

Chi Ying was stunned.

“Although the final proposal was rejected, he still did not give up, and secretly sent people to capture many ability holders outside the alliance. Later, he submitted the results of his experiments to the headquarters, and the content inside was extremely shocking.”

Gu Chi took a breath, and said in a deep voice, “In the theory he put forward, it was mentioned that we could extract the energy of the ability holders as nourishment, and supply other ability holders with higher talent. It can quickly improve the level of that person.”     

“As I mentioned before, the abandoned equipment that appeared here at the former headquarters was also developed by Ren Li in the past. Because of this, when I saw the machine yesterday, I thought of him. ”     

Chi Ying thought of those words several times. It was a little strange.     

“However, won’t there be a loss of ability holders? Besides, the loss of so many ability holders just to get a higher-level ability holder is not worth it.”     

“It stands to reason that it’s not worth it. But in fact, a sixth-level or higher ability holder is far more useful than dozens or even hundreds of fifth-level ability holders.” 

“The higher the level of ability, the more accurate the use of ability is. That’s why the headquarters value me and Ye Wuhan, who were promoted to sixth-level, so much.” 

“I see…”

“You should have seen Ye Wuhan, right? He has a ninth-level ability, which is currently the highest level setting in the alliance.”

Chi Ying said, “But he’s not as strong as me. If he confronts me head-on, he has no chance of winning.”

Gu Chi chuckled and said, “I never seem to have a clear understanding of where your upper limit is.”

Chi Ying didn’t speak.

She didn’t know if that machine could be damaged from the inside with her upper limit.

“By the way, Lu Yunfei should have already informed the headquarters by now.”

Gu Chi shook his head, “If the person here is really Ren Li, then no matter how many people come here, it won’t help. After all, there are hundreds of zombie leaders here, so they need hundreds of sixth-level ability holders. Besides, if they can stay here, it must be because of Professor Ren doing something.”

Chi Ying guessed, “It’s like the shield on the head of ‘Song Shi’?”
