《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 10
Advertisement
[+1.5 trouble value] The system prompted, [There are only five zombies but the broken glass gives the host one more point.]
Stingy system.
Hearing the alert, Chi Xin avoided Jing Xiubai's gaze and casually opened the car door. In the eyes of everyone, she looked stern as she saw the zombies she had just hit, as indifferent as usual.
Yu Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out: "Chi Xin, how did you know there were zombies behind the door?"
There were more than a dozen zombies in the station. Neither Jing Xiubai nor Chi Xin had gotten out of the car and even if Yu Pengcheng had eight hands, he would most likely have died. The man avoided the rest of the zombies who were about to catch his clothes, jumped in front of the vehicle, and stared at Chi Xin with a grateful expression: "Sister Chi, thank you."
This "Sister Chi" of his was said even more sincerely.
The others quickly moved closer and all looked at Chi Xin with respect and fear and Chen Xing added: "Sister Chi, you are amazing."
Before he knew it, he was also willing to call her that.
Chi Xin couldn't explain how she knew it and coldly muttered one stiff word: "Accident."
"You are so humble, how can killing so many zombies at once be an accident..." Yu Xiang didn't believe her at all. As he was about to shoot the ones left who were still stuck in the windshield and under the car, Jing Xiubai reached out and stopped him.
"No need, these are not worth shooting. Be careful of not attracting more."
He looked at Chi Xin with a complicated expression; he wanted to ask something but as he could guess she wouldn't answer, he decided against it.
Chi Xin was quite worried they would keep interrogating her but as she saw their reverent gazes and that no one was having doubts, she breathed a sigh of relief. What she didn't know about was the basically God status she had just reached in their hearts; and naturally, there was nothing to ask their Goddess, just follow her steps and instructions.
Even Jing Xiubai finally walked to her and whispered: "When this happens in the future, you can just tell me."
When Chi Xin looked at him, a smile appeared on his lips: "Looking at your actions... you shouldn't be able to drive."
Ah... exposed.
Chi Xin froze and turned her head away from the hero who was starting to show some friendship for no reason. She approached Yu Xiang: "Hey, do you have a cold weapon like a dagger? Give me one."
What Jing Xiubai had said was right; guns were a double-edged sword. If they weren't careful, they could easily attract more zombies and become targets.
Yu Xiang raised his eyebrows for a second before turning his head: "I'm not here to feed."
These words sounded a little familiar but Chi Xin couldn't remember where she had heard them and froze. A slender hand holding an army knife took this moment to hand it to her.

"Ah?" Yu Xiang watched in amazement, "Rong Feng, isn't this your precious army knife? You never want to lend it to anyone but you're willing to now?"
Rong Feng glanced at Yu Xiang with a cold expression. He didn't look at Chi Xin but said: "You are worthy of it."
"Thank you." Chi Xing was flattered and took the weapon. She tested the weight of the knife, looking as if she had been entrusted with great responsibilities, before strapping it to her waist.
Once they were done, Chen Xing had already cleaned the remaining zombies at the door. He looked back and winked at everyone before walking in first with his waist down.
Chi Xin's eyes darkened and she followed everyone's movement. She held her gun, bent down, and went inside too with extremely light footsteps. While her strength was obvious to all, she had never joined this team before and Jing Xiubai half-heartedly gestured to her to keep quiet; Chi Xin nodded to express her understanding.
The group quickly began to search for supplies. Chi Xin was still carrying the space on her body and didn't use it in vain. She went to a place no one was there, put her hand on the shelf, and everything she touched disappeared instantly. Jing Xiubai took a moment to look at her, wondering if she was collecting cosmetics as she used to do but as he noticed she was grabbing all the food, water and even toilet paper on her say, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The gas station was rather small and the useful sections were quickly searched. But as Chi Xin was about to leave, a subtle tremor hit her and her pupils dilated. She quickly turned around, stretched out her hand to grab Yu Xiang's shoulder, leaned on her side, and jumped onto the desk behind him. Everyone watched in horror as the girl pulled out the army knife at her waist and fiercely stabbed under the desk.
Yu Xiang shook and realized a zombie had been hiding behind the counter. If it hadn't been for Chi Xin, he would have become dinner. Even if he hadn't been bitten, the struggle would have been unavoidable and they would have attracted more monsters. Thinking of this, he glanced at Chi Xin with awe in his eyes and said: "You saved my life again."
Chi Xin waved her hand casually and put all of her thoughts on... the army knife stuck in the zombie's head. Her eyes were cold, her expression was indifferent and it wasn't until everyone retreated that she took out the weapon with a blank face. She didn't dare to look at it and directly inserted it back into its sheath.
Her three-day desensitization treatment had been very useful and Chi Xin was rather thankful to just feel instinctive fear instead of bordering on the same mental breakdown from the first battle.
When everyone returned to the car, they fell into silence.
"That..." Yu Xiang cleared his throat, "Thank you just now, Chi Xin."

His gratitude sounded so sincere and Chi Xin answered with a stiff "um" but this sound was like breaking the ice and the atmosphere in the car became less solemn once more.
"I thought we were already really good as humans." Chen Xing blushed a little, "I didn't expect that outside the captain, even a girl would be so good."
"Can you pick someone you can compare to? Why would you compare yourself with gods?" Yu Pengcheng muttered in a low voice.
Jing Xiubai kept driving silently and paused half a second when he remembered the feeling of Chi Xin's whole body hugging his arm earlier before shifting gears casually.
Listening to their admiration and praises, Chi Xin was embarrassed. In her opinion, those skills were only given to her by the system and weren't her own; she didn't feel proud of her accomplishments so far and her face became even calmer instead. But in the eyes of the others, this reaction was seen as the unwillingness to brag off and after they all glanced at each other, they couldn't help but keep looking at Chi Xin with even higher regards. If the Goddess had this kind of character... it wasn't so surprising anymore she would hide it for so long. And she had dared to go alone fight a high-zombie, she probably just wanted to quietly solve the problem. For all of those in the base that still suspected her motive, her new team felt guilty about it.
The armory was located in the former military area of City L. The location was relatively remote and the SUV drove at high speed for a while before they finally reached their destination.
All members were experienced hunters and they divided the tasks quickly as soon as they got out of the car; Chi Xing and the others faced the group of zombies that was chasing them, while Jing Xiubai and Yu Xiang went to unlock the door of the weapon storehouse.
No one arranged anything for Chi Xin and she just fired a few shots at the zombies. Once the remaining number was small enough for the three men to deal with, she stepped back to watch Jing Xiubai break the lock.
"This is a military code lock. Deciphering it requires professional equipment." Yu Xiang's voice was tight.
"Let's use an unconventional method then."
As soon as he said this, Jing Xiubai touched the lock with the tip of his fingers and small white smoke came out of them. The lock instantly froze and at this moment, this special lock was no different than a piece of brick. Yu Xiang raised his leg and kicked the object, and the frozen lock fell to the ground.
Wonderful! Chi Xin secretly cheered in her heart.
"Chen Xing!" Jing Xiubai shouted and the big man immediately left the defensive front line and pushed the door open with Jing Xiubai. The metal door must have weighed hundreds of kilograms and nobody could move it alone.
Jing Xiubai's sharp gaze looked straight at Chi Xin: "Go defend the rear, don't let a zombie come near us, okay?"
This was the first time the hero was assigning her a task, just like he was starting to trust her as a teammate. Chi Xin felt shocked but when she touched Rong Feng's army knife, the responsibility to protect her team emerged. She didn't say a word but nodded solemnly; she took out her Desert Eagle in a beautiful arc and pressed the trigger right away.
"Bang." A zombie that was rushing towards Rong Feng was accurately shot in the head.
Looking at the shooting distance and the accuracy, the two men understood right away who had joined the battle. They looked at each other and clearly noticed the relief in their eyes.
Rong Feng was the sniper of the team and Yu Pengcheng was the doctor. With Chi Xin's appearance, the clean-up became much smoother and the zombies fell one by one, quickly piling up on the road.
"Are you done?" Yu Pengcheng shouted and it was accompanied by a metallic sound.
"Open!" Chen Xing yelled in his turn.
"Withdraw!"
"Go in first!" The men were not moving and Chi Xin glanced at them as she kept firing: "Go!"
They looked embarrassed but when they noticed zombies would keep dying even when she wasn't looking, they remained silent. Without any more hesitation, they turned around and rushed inside.
"Chi Xin, come back!" Yu Xiang shouted.
Chi Xin fought as she retreated but the zombies kept coming at her. The gun in her hand clicked and her heart skipped a beat.
No more bullets!
She kept moving, pulled out the army knife, and backhanded the zombie closest to her in the head, before kicking it away with her legs. As she battled, a cone of ice appeared in the sky and aimed at the zombies surrounding her; she took the advantage to run away.
The door was about to close and Chi Xin lowered her body, rolled on the spot, and steadily stopped inside the armory.
The surroundings were plunged in the darkness for a while and only everyone's pants could be heard. A cold hand held Chi Xin and as she didn't feel any attacking intentions, she did not react. She grabbed the hand and used her strength to stand up from the ground. Someone turned on a flashlight and Chi Xin saw Jing Xiubai's face.
"Let's go." He let go of Chi Xin and handed her a light, "We don't have much time, everyone keeps quiet."
There was only a deep corridor in front of them. They didn't know where it led but in the silent distance, a scream was heard. They really didn't have much time.
"Damn, I hope there are no high-level zombies here." Yu Xiang muttered.
Chi Xin stared in front of her and installed a new magazine in her Desert Eagle.
