Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 168 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (21)

The moment Si Yan released Shi Qi's hand, Shi Qi was already in front of the zombie.

Because he was prepared for Shi Qi's attack, even though Shi Qi was moving so fast that his movements were impossible to see, the level seven zombie still managed to block Shi Qi's attack with his arm with all his might.

Seeing the zombies retreating, Shi Qi immediately called out, "Si Yan!"

Si Yan and Shi Qi's teamwork was perfect. Almost as soon as Shi Qi's attack landed, Si Yan's attack followed immediately, giving the zombie no chance to breathe.

Shi Qi's guess was completely correct. After taking the attack from the two, the zombie was clearly exhausted. After being "baptized" by Si Yan's lightning, the entire zombie seemed to be trembling, obviously severely electrocuted.

Because of sufficient trust, and also to reduce the number of times Shi Qi had to resort to violence, Si Yan's attack was all-out.

The level seven zombie never expected to suffer a Waterloo at the hands of a human with a lower ability level than himself. Because he had just been "struck by lightning," he occasionally let out some dry roars from his throat, and even his movements were as stiff as those of the low-level zombies.

Before he could recover, Shi Qi threw another punch, and Si Yan continued to follow Shi Qi's movements.

After several rounds, the level 7 zombie was basically on the defensive, while the two of them, apart from Shi Qi's hand being a little sore, Si Yan didn't even have a single extra injury.

Noticing that the zombies' ability to reflect damage was gradually diminishing, Shi Qi nodded in Si Yan's direction.

Si Yan immediately understood the meaning behind Shi Qi's action, so he nodded to him and pulled out a dagger from his tactical bag.

As Shi Qi's final attack landed, a flash of cold light appeared, and Si Yan decisively severed his head with a dagger.

Looking at the zombie corpse lying on the ground and the clean cut, He Chiyan was truly amazed. As the captain of one of the strongest squads in the base, this was the first time he had been taken down without even lifting a finger.

He Chiyan: "Awesome! Bro! Your teamwork is amazing!"

However, the two people in front of him were either digging for crystal cores or rubbing their fingers, and neither of them paid any attention to him.

...He Chiyan wondered if he was pretty decent-looking, so why wasn't either of them willing to respond to him?

Once Si Yan had dug out the crystal core, the rest of the two teams gathered around.

Jiang Weilan was about to check if Si Yan was injured when Si Yan raised his hand to stop her: "I'm not injured. Go check Shi Qi's hand first."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan sighed very softly, then nodded silently and walked to Shi Qi's side.

"Fate Value -10"

Shi Qi consciously raised his right hand, which he used to fight zombies. Jiang Weilan glanced at it, then touched his reddened knuckles, and then made a judgment: "Minor fracture, but not a big problem."

As he spoke, he began to use his supernatural abilities to treat Shi Qi.

Although it wasn't a serious problem, he felt extremely uncomfortable during the treatment. The moment the word "fracture" was uttered, he felt a gaze that seemed to pierce through him, and that gaze didn't leave him until the treatment was over.

Shi Qi forced himself to look back, then asked somewhat timidly, "What's wrong?"

Si Yan walked over without saying a word, then picked up Shi Qi's hand that he had just put down and examined it carefully. Only after confirming that even the slightest redness and swelling had disappeared did he release Shi Qi's hand again.

"Does the fracture hurt?" Si Yan suddenly blurted out, and Shi Qi could faintly hear the tremor in his voice.

Shi Qi tried to sound nonchalant, saying, "It's alright, I didn't feel anything after that; besides, isn't it fine now?"

However, to Si Yan, the phrase "I don't feel anything" was equivalent to "I'm in so much pain that I can't feel anything." With his own unique interpretation, Si Yan's expression became even more gloomy than before.

Shi Qi was at a loss for words. He felt guilty and could only remain silent until Si Yan placed the crystal core in front of him.

"You should keep it; it won't be of much use to me." Shi Qi subconsciously refused, but Si Yan's attitude seemed very firm, and he still wouldn't take his hand back.

Shi Qi felt a headache coming on. How could he tactfully tell everyone that the crystal core was of no use to him?

"Si Yan, you should listen to Shi Qi and keep this crystal core for yourself." Jiang Weilan's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the slightly confrontational atmosphere between the two.

Jiang Weilan continued, "The team needs a strong captain, and we were lucky these last two times. But what if we encounter level seven or even higher zombies again? Will we still be so lucky to survive?"

"Besides, once your ability reaches level seven, won't you no longer need to resort to immediate action when encountering situations?"

To be honest, Jiang Weilan's words were quite convincing; at least Shi Qi had to nod in agreement.

After hearing these very reasonable words, Si Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Weilan indifferently, then turned his gaze to Shi Qi. After staring at him for a long time, he nodded as if in resignation and withdrew his hand that was holding the crystal core.

"Fate Value -5"

Although he really wanted to ask something, He Chiyan swallowed back his words because the atmosphere was not very pleasant.

The two groups went downstairs in silence.

Seeing her teammates come downstairs unharmed, Bai Qingyun waved happily in their direction: "Captain! Did you take care of that zombie?"

He Chiyan walked a little closer to Bai Qingyun and nodded: "Fortunately, there are..." He pointed to Si Yan and the others, but realized that he didn't know their names at all, so he could only say: "These people are here. They are the ones who took care of that level seven zombie."

Bai Qingyun and another boy from He Chiyan's team quickly expressed their gratitude to Si Yan and the others. Even the two timid little boys who were originally standing up stepped forward: "Thank you, brothers and sisters, for saving us."

Although she didn't do much, Ye Xin still stepped forward and patted the two little heads that looked so cute to touch: "You're welcome! You two kids."

He Chiyan: "Our mission is complete, it's about time we headed back... By the way, which way are you going?"

Perhaps because they had gone through life and death together, the members of Si Yan's team were no longer wary of this team.

Zhang Lie spoke first: "We're going to S City next."

He Chiyan's eyes widened slightly: "What a coincidence?! We came from S City, and we're going back to S City to report for duty."

“Since we’re both going to S City, why don’t we go together?” He Chiyan suggested.
