Chapter 19

Chapter 19: New abilities (1)

Chi Xin had encountered a mutated zombie that had not been a high-level one last night; it was indeed something she needed to share with the protagonist group and she nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Because Xiao Li didn't have a role in the movie, Chi Xin felt a little uneasy having him participate in the conversation. But as long as the plot didn't deviate too much, she supposed it wasn't a problem but took an extra look at him.

When the young soldier saw the look in her eyes, his face reddened and he lowered his head. His innocence made Chi Xin's eyes twitch and she turned away.

Jing Xiubai glanced at them: "Xiao Li is also involved and he can brief Base A in the future. Base A is currently the largest survivor base and there mustn't be any accident."

His words were a bit cold but they answered Chi Xin's doubts and she suddenly realized he had guessed her thoughts. Jing Xiubai pushed his glasses back as he silently glanced at Xiao Li, who was looking at him with a complicated expression.

The protagonist group lived in the same residential building and Jing Xiubai's room was next to Yu Xiang. He opened the door and welcomed his guests inside. Yu Xiang was standing inside with a splint on his arm, along with Jiang Congyun who looked somewhat strange, and Cao Yan.

"Chi Xin!"

Seeing them arrive, Yu Xiang bounced from his chair and waved his arms in excitement.

"Look, Chi Xin! This is from Congyun treating me! I was so stunned, isn't she much better than the doctor?" Yu Xiang showed Chi Xing the arm he could move today despite having broken it yesterday, "I really didn't expect to be able to keep it."

"Yu Xiang." Jiang Congyun called him helplessly, "Sit down, Xiubai has something to say."

Jing Xiubai grabbed Yu Xiang and pushed him back to his chair before he explained: "The potion from last time stimulated Congyun's healing ability."

"Very useful!" Yu Xiang sat down and nodded heavily.

Jiang Congyun's face was a little red. She got up and looked at Chi Xin, nervously.

"Xiubai told me you proposed to give me the medicine..."

"No." Guessing what the heroine was about to say, Chi Xin interrupted her, "You misunderstand, it had nothing to do with me."

Jiang Congyun was stunned and she glanced at Jing Xiubai. The man shook his head and sighed. Jiang Congyun pondered for a second and smiled naturally: "Anyway, you risked your life for it so thank you, Chi Xin."

She was genuinely sincere and Chi Xin couldn't help but be flattered. From what she had learned from the movie, although the heroine was not the kind of showing hostility, she had no reason to act intimately either.

Chi Xin hesitated for a split second and Jiang Congyun took it as it didn't matter. She smiled again as she went to sit back on her chair and Chi Xin had a whole new understanding of the heroine's good temper.

Once everyone was settled, Jing Xiubai tapped the table with his fingers, his face serious.
"Chi Xin, Yu Xiang already told me about last night." He glanced at Yu Xiang's somewhat embarrassed expression, "Leave aside all the zombies, he said that you encountered a... monster."

"Trust me, there is no other word to describe what that thing was." Yu Xiang said, "It looked like a zombie but gave the illusion it had eight legs, like a big disgusting spider. It was also very fierce."
