《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 20.1
Advertisement
Han Yiyi showed her hand and all the people around her were more or less shocked. But unlike other people's simple surprise, Chi Xin's narrowed eyes were mixed with some subtle panic.
For a while, nobody said anything. Han Yiyi glanced around and when she noticed Chi Xin's panic, a trace of disdain clearly drew on her face, proud of the shock she had caused.
"Don't be surprised, not everyone is qualified to get this gift." She whispered softly, her face showing something close to fanaticism, "but don't worry, since I got this gift, I will definitely help everyone."
She was dressed in a white dress, with a pure face, just like an angel who had descended from heaven and knew nothing of the world. The soldiers who had raised their guns couldn't help but put them down and they all turned to look at Cao Yan.
Cao Yan was a little relieved and he walked to Jing Xiubai: "Xiubai, she also had an ability, do you know her?"
"Also?" Han Yiyi's eyes lit up and she stared at the hero, "Do you... also have a power?"
She did not wait for his answer and quickly added: "This must be a gift from God. Since we both have something others don't, it must be fate."
Han Yiyi didn't notice Jing Xiubai's face instantly became colder. Nobody knew what she was thinking but the smile on her face became dreamy and her eyes blurred. The few people who had just listened to the hero's story knew he hated his ability, and Yu Xiang turned his head and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
Chi Xin was admirative. She thought that if the troublemaker system had bound itself to Han Yiyi, she would currently be hearing rising trouble value prompts.
Now that people were aware Han Yiyi had a supernatural ability, they were not as afraid of her eventual mutation. Cao Yan scratched his head and asked the men to put their weapons down before asking with confusion: "Han Yiyi, right? Why didn't you tell us about your power first? There wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding."

Han Yiyi glanced at him but didn't reply. Cao Yan did not care about her behavior but Yu Xiang frowned and said with a cold smile: "Miss... Han, right? Let me introduce you to the leader of our base, Cao Yan. If you have any needs in the future, you will have to find him."
He pointed to Cao Yan and deliberately emphasized the words "have to". Han Yiyi looked at Cao Yan again with some surprise and showed a holy and innocent smile: "Brother Cao? Then I will trouble you in the future."
"Alright, alright." Cao Yan waved his hand.
Jing Xiubai's glasses made it difficult to see his eyes: "If you don't mind, can you come with us and tell us more about your ability?"
Han Yiyi nodded immediately, like a little flower: "Yes, yes, I can."
"Let's head to the council room." Jing Xiubai said to Cao Yan. He then turned around and noticed Chi Xin's slightly dumb expression. His lips curled up in a soft smile and he told her: "Chi Xin, are you coming?"
Chi Xin looked at him blankly and it took her a few seconds to realize what they were all talking about.
"Coming."
Witnessing her sluggish behavior, Han Yiyi glanced disdainfully at her before turning her head away and changing her expression to an innocent one.
Chi Xin's mouth twitched. She had seen the performance of this green tea lady in the movie but the main plot had not been about that but about saving the world. Han Yiyi had not had so many roles. In those short ten minutes, Chi Xin did not have such a good impression of Han Yiyi's "crawl high, step low" temperament. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arm and followed the others.
"The tester is probably broken. Arrange for someone to contact Tuobila to have them send a new one."
Chi Xin took two steps and heard Cao Yan. After a few seconds, she walked over to him and asked: "Is Tuobila still delivering?"

Cao Yan was startled, it was the first time Chi Xin ever took the initiative to speak to him. He blushed and scratched his head: "Deliveries are more expensive but we are a small base and we can't send anyone to pick it up." He added in a sad sigh, "In this day and age, which base would dare not buy a detector?"
Chi Xin nodded in understanding and didn't ask more but a little respect rose in her heart for this company, whose name had been mentioned only once or twice in the movie. Being able to deliver anywhere in the last days, whether they were wealthy or full of confidence, was rather impressive.
As they were talking about the tester, Han Yiyi constantly approached Jing Xiubai.
"Is your name Xiubai?" Han Yiyi ignored the man's cold behavior and kept asking with a sweet smile, "What's your power? I never met anyone else with power, we must have a special fate."
Jing Xiubai didn't even give her a side glance but noticed Chi Xin was not following. He looked back for a while until he found her and his eyes fell on her.
"You have been distracted, are you uncomfortable somewhere?"
Chi Xin had been watching the lively show and was suddenly called: "Ah, no, I just think I may have drunk too much tea today."
"Pffft." Yu Xiang laughed.
Han Yiyi frowned slightly. She sensed the subtle atmosphere and decided to stay silent temporarily.
The large council room looked somewhat empty when the group came in. Han Yiyi looked around, a slight disgust between her brows.
"Everyone, sit down." Cao Yan said.
Chi Xin casually took a seat on the side and watched Han Yiyi deliberately linger for a while, waiting for Jing Xiubai to sit down, before immediately taking the chair next to him.
Yu Xiang had been friends with the hero for many years and naturally noticed the obvious coldness on his face. He preceded everyone and started talking: "Miss Han, you can now tell us about your experience."
Han Yiyi looked at Yu Xiang with a not too indifferent expression and smiled: "I come from a place where the weak are prey to the strong. It is not as friendly as this base. Strong people rule and beautiful women exist to please them."
She paused and as tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, she gave Jing Xiubai a pretend strong look. Chi Xin was dumbfounded, her crying skills were just as good as the original Chi Xin.
Han Yiyi didn't wait for the expected sympathy and pity. She bit her lip and continued: "If I hadn't found a tube of potion by chance and followed the advice to inject myself, I'm afraid I would have become one of those women."
Cao Yan was disgusted: "In the last days, some people are no longer humans."
But Han Yiyi immediately interjected: "Those people protect the weak, sacrificing something for safety, isn't it inevitable?"
"Ah?" Cao Yan almost didn't understand her.
"After all, the women who do not get gifts like me can only sacrifice their virtues." Han Yiyi said naturally, "They do not have the strength or the courage of men, how can they survive without those men?"
Despite having seen the movie, listening to a woman like her say those kinds of things in front of her, Chi Xin couldn't help but feel shocked.
"What is the approximate ratio of men to women in your place?" Chi Xin asked, just like she had wanted to know when she had watched the movie.
Han Yiyi didn't look at her: "Half and half, I guess."
"Since half of the population is female, why not resist this monstrous rule?" Chi Xin went up, "You are also a woman and you got this gift. Why don't you help them instead of saying it is "inevitable"?"
Han Yiyi finally glanced at her, sarcasm on her face.
"What are you saying, resist the rule of men?"
Chi Xin straightened her back and the creaking sound of her clenched fists was heard.

Kathy With A K's Song
"Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song"-"Obviously," She started. There was a nervous shake in her voice that made me tilt my head in her hands. "Obviously you don't understand the agreement." She repeated after quickly composing herself. I rolled my eyes, but let her continue."Where you go, I go. Where I go, you go." She told me sternly. Her thumbs grazed my cheeks and heat rose on my skin where she touched. I couldn't tell if this was just Sophia being caring or if she was maybe feeling more. My brain told me that this was all a friendly gesture, but my body and it's stupid hormones were telling me that it was something more. And your brain can never really overcome true instincts. I moved closer towards her, shrinking the already limited space between us. This time it was Sophia's turn to blush which only made my smile grow larger. All I could think about was her lips meeting mine.(a new and improved skmw xx)
