The villainess is always pretending to be the Virgin Mary - Chapter 93

Gu Chi and the others were an exploration team. No matter how fast the off-road vehicle was, it would take half a day or even longer to travel from one city to another. But Chi Ying’s ability was obviously more suitable for the team of low-level zombies…

Thus, their daily routine became— rushing and killing zombies. Chi Ying would be picked up by the alliance helicopter that arrived suddenly, then sent back by the alliance helicopter…

The number of times the headquarters sent Chi Ying on missions was obviously much more than other ability holders, which even made her busier than Gu Chi at one point.

Over time, members of the Human Alliance knew that the highest-level ability holder at the Alliance Headquarters was a girl.

Letting her out once meant slaughtering a whole city.

It was in the eighth year of the apocalypse that mankind announced the recovery of civilization.

Although the low-level zombies had not been cleaned up, humans obviously had enough strength to no longer be afraid of them. It was only a matter of time before the zombies would be completely eliminated.

It was also that year that Chi Ying, Gu Chi and the others relaxed.

Most of the zombies had been taken care of, and the various troops cultivated by the alliance had also grown rapidly during that year.

Therefore, members like Gu Chi and Lu Yunfei, who used to be members of the exploration team, seldom went out on missions.

Because of their rich experience, Mu Yu and others had basically changed from former members to captains or mid-level commanders of various teams.

On the contrary, Yun Ling had almost become the busiest person in the headquarters since that year.

The recovery of civilization needed seeds that could satisfy food and clothing, and then some species that had a very low survival rate and needed to be carefully cared for. Yun Ling’s ability was just enough to fully meet that requirement. Even the most advanced wood-type ability holder in the current alliance was far inferior to her in the ability to generate seeds.

She was forced to transform from a leisurely salted fish to a qualified social animal.

Occasionally, when she got a free opportunity, she ran over to Chi Ying to complain.

The world was getting better day by day, and they were gradually approaching the stable days before the apocalypse.

[Host.] The system suddenly made a sound. 

[The settlement result of the main world is out.]

Chi Ying, who was leisurely in the room, suddenly turned over and said in surprise, “But isn’t the apocalypse not over yet?”

[The fate of the world in the apocalypse has basically returned to the right track. In a few years, human civilization may even be the same as it was before the apocalypse. So there is no need to wait until that day.]

Chi Ying nodded, slightly startled.

[Does the host want to return to the main world?]

Chi Ying glanced at the time, it happened to be lunch time. She shook her head slightly.

[OK.] The system was not surprised by her choice.

Inexplicably, Chi Ying had a feeling of melancholy.

In her old world, she had been accompanied by so many lovely players, and she was a little sad to know that she would never have the chance to see them again.

She frowned, got up and walked out the door.

During the whole year that Chi Ying and Gu Chi were together, she was completely used to receiving food from him.

Visiting him three times a day had become a common thing.

Gu Chi opened the door for her.

He had just taken a bath, and it was very cold in winter, but his ears were flushed, and the moisture on his skin was still steaming.

Chi Ying, who stood outside the door, only took a glance, then looked away in a panic, never daring to look in his direction again.

“What’s the matter?”

She suddenly forgot the purpose of coming there, and couldn’t even speak a word.

Gu Chi stared at her, and unconsciously tightened his fingertips on the door.

“Come in.”

“No, no, no…it’s alright!”

“…”

Gu Chi just looked at her quietly.

Those dark eyes just looked at Chi Ying quietly like that, the scalding heat on his body made her relax inexplicably.

As if bewitched, Chi Ying took a small step. That step put her on that threshold of the door.

Gu Chi took half a step back, and Chi Ying took another step forward in a daze.

The door closed silently.

He bent down, pressed her hand on the door and surrounded her whole body.

“Chi Ying…”

Chi Ying was still in a daze.

Gu Chi: “…”

He smiled, and the enchanting atmosphere was instantly shattered.

“Are you hungry?”

Chi Ying nodded vigorously, only then did she remember that she went there for a meal.

She ran to the kitchen and helped bring the dishes to the table.

After she sat, she took a mouthful of the hot radish soup, which Yun Ling specially planted in Gu Chi’s greenhouse not long ago.

Gu Chi sat beside her, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of snowflakes outside the window. He didn’t know when it started.

“Chi Ying, it’s snowing.”

Chi Ying put down the bowl and looked out the window.

“Ah, really!” She exclaimed in surprise.

Although it was a deep winter, that was the first snow of that winter.

Gu Chi raised his eyes, and the girl in front of him stared at the snow scene outside the window with frowning eyes, and he couldn’t help but lose his mind.

When Chi Ying turned her head back, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

He then withdrew his gaze, and the emotion in his eyes softened unconsciously.

“It’s nothing.”

The moment Chi Ying closed her eyes, she silently lowered her head.

She had seen countless virtual players and the romance they brought. But the real world in front of her, which was within her reach, held her firmly there.

She wanted to stay there and watch the first snow many times with that person in front of her.
