《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 24.1

Could it be that she could unbind the pendant from her body? With this thought in mind, Chi Xin entered the space with her consciousness.
Although she hadn't dumped all of her supplies as the original Chi Xin had, the space she had tried to carefully sort out was... not so neat. She looked at the food, the piles of guns and ammunition and as soon as she thought of her Desert Eagle, it appeared in her hand smoothly.
She frowned and looked at the print on her chest again.
What was happening?
Chi Xin didn't understand what was going on and wanted to ask the system. But when she recalled a trouble value that was already below the pass line, she was too afraid of what it would do to her and she decided against it.
She closed her eyes and felt the power crawling under her skin. The more battles she experienced, the more limitations she seemed to break from. And right now, despite the mission from earlier, not only was she not tired but she also felt continuous strength.
She was stronger than before and her five senses seemed to have become more acute.
She could hear people walking outside, talking downstairs, and even the slight foam noise of the detergent behind her. She just needed to listen attentively and it wouldn't be able to escape her ears.
She opened her eyes and despite knowing her own reflection, the face in the mirror felt different. She had a bright glow and clear pupils and she couldn't help but be stunned.
She looked... evolved.

Due to survival pressure, Chi Xin didn't waste time. The day after the encounter with the Zombie King, she actively went out to find ways to cause trouble.
But after walking around for a while, she realized it was too peaceful and couldn't find any way to increase her points. Perhaps she could rush into the protagonist group's room with a gun and shoot them one by one?

Chi Xin silently rejected this idea but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the dog system would indeed do this kind of thing.
She turned around and walked towards the gate.
He didn't see her but she noticed Yu Xiang from far away thanks to her increased vision. He was sitting on a big rock, seemingly lost in thoughts, and a dark cloud was shrouding his handsome face.
Chi Xin was used to his overly carefree expression and she couldn't help but be surprised when faced with this gloomy mood. His profile looked like a melancholic Greek statue and she walked to him silently, light on her feet, only to pass by him gently.
But as she somewhat ignored him, Yu Xiang bounced from his rock.
"Chi Xin! Did you forget we're friends?"
"What's wrong?" Chi Xin didn't bother answering him.
A trace of worry flashed on Yu Xiang's face as he hesitated a second before he shook his head. Chi Xin didn't want to investigate and continued to walk towards the gate.
Yu Xiang watched her move and started following her.
"What are you gonna do?"
"Going out." Chi Xin didn't spare him a glance.
She really didn't want to spend any time with any of the protagonists at the moment. Who knew how the system would use her body for!
But Yu Xiang was obviously not planning to let her be. He caught her with his long legs and smiled at her: "Sister Chi, kind and generous Sister Chi, I want to go out too."
Chi Xin: ...
"Why?" She finally stopped.
Yu Xiang sighed and replied: "I want to help Xiubai find some medicine."
Chi Xin was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "What happened to him?"

"He's good, he's good. It's Congyun." Worry took place on Yu Xiang's face again, "Her ability is only level three but in order to defend against the Zombie King yesterday, she ignored her limits and helped everyone to heal. Now she is in a coma."
Chi Xin finally reacted. Now that she thought about it, something similar had indeed happened in the movie. The only difference had been that what they had encountered had not been the Zombie King. Later, when Jing Xiubai had finally managed to get medicine for her, the original Chi Xin had "accidentally" broken it in front of everyone.
Chi Xin might have listed all the important events related to her body before, but now that she was experiencing it personally, she couldn't tell the timeline anymore.
She thought of Jiang Congyun who had smiled gently at her yesterday and started feeling a little uncomfortable.
"So you look like that because you need to go outside?"
"Xiubai checked the pharmacy but he is missing something." Yu Xiang nodded, "After last time... I am afraid to ask anyone to accompany me out."
Chi Xin softened after hearing him say that: "You can come with me, but you have to listen to me."
Yu Xiang gave her a bright smile and agreed: "Of course! You are my boss today!"
He then saw her serious face when she added another request: "And if I start acting strangely, you must leave me behind and run as far as you can."
Yu Xiang: ??
He didn't quite understand. What strange behavior could she have? Would she kill him if he was being an idiot?
But he nodded honestly: "I will."
Chi Xin was still uneasy but didn't say anything else. She glanced at Yu Xiang and the two of them left the base together.
When the second male lead when to borrow a car from the gatekeeper, Chi Xin was a little skeptical. Every time they had gone out, Jing Xiubai had always been the one to drive, would Yu Xiang really be able to?
Yu Xiang chose a familiar SUV and honked the horn when he stopped beside her. Chi Xin let go of her doubts and hopped in the passenger seat.
"You obviously know how to drive, so why is Jing Xiubai always driving?" Chi Xin asked as she put on her seatbelt.
Yu Xiang didn't answer right away. He was weirdly staying silent before he said hesitantly: "That... Xiubai says it's not safe when I drive."
Heaving his reply, Chi Xin's heart started beating wildly and she grasped her seat belt tightly.
Yu Xiang laughed: "Oh, it's fine, we won't die."
Chi Xin became even more worried. She tried to resist the urge to jump out of the car and sat stiffly on her seat.
And as she listened to the speeding and tire sounds of the car in fright, she understood why Jing Xiubai had said Yu Xiang was not a safe driver.

8 120Love Her Softly
The last thing Liam Mcyntire expected to find in his barn one cold February morning, was a half-starved , frozen-solid woman. She's covered in bruises and full of mistrust and suspicions. He'd been perfectly content in his bachelor life of trapping critters, selling furs and living in solitude but this mysterious woman might just change all that. Emma Hawke was running. Running from her father, from the damage the man had done. Running from a life she didn't want--a life no different from the one that had killed her mother. She's never been off the mountain. She trusts nothing and no one--not even the man who saved her life by bringing her out of the cold. If Liam's going to win her heart, he's going to have to learn patience and how to truly care for someone more than he does himself. He'll have to love her softly. Can Emma overcome her past? Can she learn to trust--possibly even love--despite the fear that she holds of men and of marriage? Or will her past track her down and destroy any hope she has for a future?
