I Attacked Because I Was Afraid Of Death - CH 6

Chapter 6: Intuition of the strong

Chi Xin: I… I’ll kill…

This dog system was making her insane. Anger built up in her heart and the look on her face became even more terrifying. None of the people who came into contact with her gaze dared to continue the conversation and bowed their heads.

The appearance of the high-level zombie was a fact and everyone had experienced its power firsthand; but before Chi Xin had gone out, nobody had known about such a terrible creature hiding next to their base. That was why she must be angry; they were both complacent and ungrateful.

Everybody found an explanation for Chi Xin’s behavior and the ones who had just tried to have her killed remained silent. After all, Cao Yan was the person in charge of the page and if he decided to let go of past grievances was because people’s lives and survival were more important.

He asked: “So, is there any way to detect that… more powerful thing?”

Chi Xin was still furious: “No.”

Someone in the crowd shouted: “It’s a lie. How did you know there were high-level zombies then and how did you know where to find it?”

The man was relying on the advantage of the crowd to stay hidden, but Chi Xin’s eyes, just like a sharp sword, found him right away.

The next moment, everyone began discussing how to fight against the “more powerful beings”. Chi Xin looked at the soldiers around her and at how they had fought bravely and covered her in the middle of the battle. Grateful, she said: “Thank you.”

The soldiers were stunned and the young man in the lead shook his head again and again, before saying in a somewhat weakened and awe-inspiring voice: “Goddess… no, hero, don’t joke. We should be the ones thanking you.”

The others nodded strongly. Chi Xin was surprised by his answer and gave a small smile; a dreamy expression grew on the young man’s face and after realizing his reaction, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chi Xin anymore, before trotting over and picking up the zombie’s head again.

Chi Xin: …

“Why are you so attached to this head?” She couldn’t help but ask.

Chi Xin separated from the soldiers, ignoring Xiao Li’s momentary dissatisfaction in his eyes, and returned to her room. Fortunately, the room was not as messy and cluttered as the portable space, otherwise the slightly clean freak part of her would have had to tidy everything up.

After taking a simple shower, thinking of all the disgusting things that had stuck to her skin during the battle, Chi Xin rubbed her white skin red before finally coming out. Holding her long hair, she stood in front of a full-length mirror that showed her whole body.

This was the first time she examined her new appearance and as a fine vicious supporting character, she had the matching beauty. But the most remarkable thing about it was the thin muscles that covered her slender limbs. Chi Xin stared at the area above her shorts, on her flat stomach had appeared out of nowhere faint abdominal muscles and smooth mermaid lines that went down all the way to her waist. These enhancements not only did not harm the original beauty of the body but her exposed skin also did not have the previous weakness but healthy and wild charm instead.

Chi Xin was very much aware of all the terrible power contained in these seemingly thin muscles but once covered, if not for the strength in her brow, she looked like a delicate and beautiful vase again.

Chi Xin stared at herself in the mirror, not getting used to this completely different face from hers. Her slender fingertips stroked the outline and her gaze showed a trace of sorrow. Was the Chi family’s daughter really dead? From now on the one who would live and survive this apocalyptic world was this Chi Xin.

She stretched out her hand to stroke the area where her heart was; the mark of an emerald green pendant was where a gunshot scar should have been, the evidence of the fusion with the portable space.

Now that her relationship with the protagonist group seemed particularly tense, if she wanted to join them again to follow the plot, this pendant was a problem. Chi Xin clenched her fists; the system had promised that once the plot was over and the trouble value was full, she would get her freedom back and live in this world. But if she couldn’t cause enough trouble, the system would be happy to replace her.

She couldn’t die but she couldn’t do what the system wanted. She hadn’t died after so many dangers, she had fought for her life even after being shot. Why would she give up now?

She wanted to live, even if no one would protect her from now on. She wanted to live, even in this devastated world. She wanted to live!
