《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 13
Advertisement
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a power-type high-level zombie and earning an extra five points of trouble value, for a total of 25 points.] The voice of the system made it difficult to know whether it was excited or regretful, [The host's trouble value is now at 89 points.]
Chi Xin didn't feel happy at all. The system was trying to influence her behavior and when it could not control her body, it would emit electric current which was a very dangerous sign. It meant that the system could manipulate her at all times.
If the trouble value went down the pass line, the system would control her body. But what if the trouble value reached zero? After all, this dog system already deducted points rather randomly and she had no idea what its pattern was.
Chi Xin's heart started beating faster and she felt a cold chill all over her body. When she stood up again, there was no hint of the excitement or pride of killing a high-level zombie in her expression; she looked blank and the men watching her were amazed.
Can't laugh, forget it. She looked at Jing Xiubai and could not find anything other than shock in his gaze.
"Let's go, aren't we going to the medical room?"
Jing Xiubai took a deep breath. He glanced at the other's condition and decisively ordered the wounded to move first; he, Yu Xiang, and Chi Xin would search for drugs.
"Be quick." Yu Pengcheng, who was the less injured among the three, was anxious, "The place is going to collapse soon."
"Hurry up." Yu Xiang helped Rong Feng stand up, "We'll be there soon."
He then ran to Chi Xin's side and ignoring the swaying around them, he patted his chest and said: "Sister Chi, what do you need me to do?"
Chi Xin was taken aback for a moment and looked at Jing Xiubai again.
Jing Xiubai: "You just experienced a fight, can you still keep up with your current physical strength?"
He didn't say the second half of his question: if you feel weak, just leave first with the three of them. As he saw the girl wasn't even breaking a sweat, he could only swallow this sentence.
Chi Xin had not expected he would ask that and she let out a little sound of surprise as she realized she could still move; she had felt a little tired after killing the zombie but after these short minutes, it was as if the power in her body was even fiercer and stronger than before. She felt like the restrictions she had sensed during her first battle had been slightly unlocked and this sensation dampened the fear of death in her heart; she felt she could do anything.

Chi Xin: "It's more than enough to keep up."
As soon as her words fell, in this tense situation, the big men didn't know whether to laugh or cry and stared at each other with dumbfounded expressions. And with nothing else to say, the two groups parted ways.
"Walk against the wall, keep your body steady." Jing Xiubai reminded in a low voice.
The three of them supported themselves with the swaying wall and quickly returned to the place the power-type zombie had come out. Chi Xin found the army knife she had left and picked it up on the way.
She had mentally prepared herself to find nothing beneficial as they entered the medical room but she had not expected to find arrays of medicine cabinets under her flashlight. Some of the drugs had no name and only serial numbers, just like something that had been specially developed.
The three of them were overjoyed. In addition to the bag they had brought as a cover and where they stuffed some basic antibiotics, alcohol, and the likes, both protagonists knew about Chi Xin's space and opened the code locks one by one unceremoniously. Quickly, they ransacked the entire medical room.
"Huh?" While Chi Xin was grabbing everything, Yu Xiang lay on the ground and pulled out a box from the corner, "What's that?"
"Let's take it first." Jing Xiubai didn't look back and Yu Xiang let out a small shout as he got up with the box in his arm.
After she looked at it under the flashlight, Chi Xin felt this box was a little familiar. When Yu Xiang handed it to her and Chi Xin got a closer look at it, her heart skipped a beat.
The hero and second male lead did not know anything about this box yet but she did; it contained a similar drug to the one that had been injected in Jing Xiubai back then. When he had suffered these experiments, the drugs had not been perfected yet and it was after dancing with death that Jing Xiubai had gained the ability to control ice. Yet the box in her hand contained the same medicine after years of research and improvement; it could stimulate supernatural abilities with almost no secondary effect.
Unexpectedly, they had obtained the drug this way and Chi Xin felt she was holding the Grail in her hand. Who didn't want to have powers during the apocalypse? Except for her, obviously; she already had a dog system of unknown composition in her body, she wasn't sure what kind of monster she would become if she ever took this drug.
In the movie, the medicine had been injected into Jiang Congyun's body who had awakened healing powers afterward. Remembering this, Chi Xin glanced at Yu Xiang with sympathetic eyes; in the whole movie, he was the only one in the protagonist group with no ability, it was really pitiful.

The light was too dim and Yu Xiang didn't notice Chi Xin's abnormal expression. As soon as he handed the box to her, the ground shook violently and they almost fell together. He helped Chi Xin and turned his head: "It's going to collapse! Stop searching!"
Jing Xiubai was in the corner and no one knew what it was doing. Chi Xin felt the system should have bound itself to him instead, his trouble value was much stronger than her!
"Jing Xiubai!" She couldn't help but shout. Her voice was clear and very noticeable amidst the rumbling sound.
"Okay." He ran quickly back to them and stuffed something into Chi Xin's hand, "Put that away first and let's go!"
In the chaos, Chi Xin didn't dare to explore what it was. The three of them turned around and rushed out of the medical room.
The shaking was getting worse; if it weren't for the support of the metal walls, they were afraid they would have been buried alive by now.
Run, run! Chi Xin, who had never qualified for the 800 meters sprint before, burst out with a strong will to survive. When the light of the exit appeared, she could hardly see the way in front of her anymore.
"Watch out!"
With determination, she pushed her whole body forward at an even faster speed—
Bang.
Behind them, the entire ground where the armory was located sank. The three wounded men who were waiting for them at the entrance, raising their guns to shoot the scattered zombies around, showed expressions of surprise when they saw the situation.
"This is too loud, it's attracting zombies!" Chen Xing's voice was much weaker. Yu Pengcheng had used his uninjured arm to bandage the three of them and they all looked bruised and battered.
Chi Xin calmed her breathing and strode forward before stretching out her hand at the severely wounded Rong Feng: "Do you trust me?"
All gazes suddenly focused on her and Rong Feng looked at her incredulously: "Are you trying to—?"
"Are you kidding?" Yu Xiang roared, "There is still me and Xiubai, why would you be the one to carry him?!"
Chi Xin was very calm: "Jing Xiubai will drive over so we can meet halfway, it will save a lot of time."
She glanced at a dumbfounded Chen Xing: "Or do you want me to carry Chen Xing?"
Yu Pengcheng gritted his teeth and said: "I'll carry him! Say what you want but we can't let Sister Chi carry a grown man!"
Although Chi Xin was powerful, she was just too small compared to the tall and strong Rong Feng.
"Why are you nagging?!" Chi Xin grabbed Rong Feng's arm, "Bear with me."
And in the eyes of everyone, she put him on her shoulders. Even if his feet were still dragging on the ground, she was definitely carrying him on her back. Her breath was stable and she made it look like it didn't require much effort.
"That...?"
Before anyone could exclaim their astonishment, they saw Chi Xin inhale deeply and start running forward.
Everyone: ??!
A few days ago, Chi Xin wouldn't have claimed she could carry Rong Feng. But after killing the power-type zombie, she felt she could. And indeed she did.
The others couldn't keep wasting time and ignored their shock. Yu Xiang grabbed Chen Xing and Jing Xiubai froze Yu Pengcheng's arm. He then exchanged a glance with Yu Xiang and ran to the parking entrance at the fastest speed. Many zombies must have already gathered and he had to hurry up to the car so he could drive to them.
Rong Feng's narrow phoenix eyes stared at Chi Xin as she carried him without blinking. Despite the weight on her back, she had freed one hand and taken her Desert Eagle out to shoot any zombie that dared to block her way, killing them without fail. The expression in Rong Feng's gaze changed several times.
Chi Xin didn't know she was being stared at. Her heart was beating wildly and endless power seemed to surge through her limbs, giving her infinite confidence. If she could live, so could they!
It didn't take long for them to see the SUV drive towards them and run over the zombies in the way. Chi Xin was carrying Rong Feng and killing the zombies around yet was still faster than the other three men.
She saw Jing Xiubai open the door of the rear seat and whispered: "Go and hold on."
Rong Feng nodded until he realized she couldn't see him and said in a hurry: "I know."
As the car passed by, Chi Xin pushed the man on her back into the car. Rong Feng immediately grabbed the roof and climbed inside with difficulty, reaching out to catch the others.
Chi Xin ran back quickly to help Yu Xiang with the other two injured. Once they were all in the car, Yu Xiang squeezed in and Jing Xiubai opened the passenger door for her.
Just as Chi Xin was about to go in, electricity hit her wrist and she loosened her grasp on the handle and was almost bitten by a zombie that came at her.
Dog system!
"Chi Xin!" Jing Xiubai threw an ice cone at the zombie's head.
Chi Xin gritted her teeth, retracted all four limbs, and hopped into the vehicle. With a stern expression, Jing Xiubai accelerated; the SUV roared and ran over all the zombies before driving into the distance.
