《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 24.3
Advertisement
Chi Xin and Yu Xiang were crouching behind the shelves and looked at each other only to realize they both had the same shocked expression.
Were they really human?
They watched through the narrow gap between the shelves and saw six men with lots of weapons come in, striding in as they owned the place and sweeping everything in a mess.
Chi Xin silently asked: "Do you know them?"
Yu Xiang shook his head in confusion and Chi Xin sensed something was wrong. Where did these people not from their base come from?
She had only heard their voices and hadn't been able to listen to their conversation. But now that she had caught a glimpse of them, she had a bad feeling.
"Those guys don't look good." Yu Xiang motioned to her, "Let's go."
Chi Xin nodded hesitantly. No matter where these people came from or what they were planning to do, it was a bad idea to approach them at the moment. Even if they weren't enemies, it was better to go back to the base first and discuss it.
The two of them crawled over and proceeded carefully towards the door.
The hospital's pharmacy was very large and when the two of them reached halfway, Yu Xuang suddenly stopped moving. He looked up to the top of the shelf, to a bottle of medicine in a glass container and Chi Xin guessed it was what he had been looking for all along.
Although Yu Xiang was not short, there was no way he would be silent reaching the top of the shelf. If he attracted the attention of these men, it would be troublesome. He looked at the bottle of medicine and hesitated; he knew Jing Xiubai needed it but he was also afraid to make too much noise and risk their safety.
Chi Xin patted him on the shoulder and Yu Xiang looked back in confusion. Chi Xin smirked at him and raised a long and powerful leg.

Up. Up. Up.
Until she was stretched in a perfect vertical split. She stood like this, looking as if she was exerting no effort at all and Yu Xiang stared at her with wide eyes. With a relaxed expression, Chi Xin stretched her toes to the glass bottle with ease.
She maintained her incredible balance, moved the medicine until it fell directly into her hand that had been waiting all along. She then lowered her legs and smiled at Yu Xiang.
"Success."
Yu Xiang's mouth was still hanging open and he nodded in a daze before turning away to walk out of the pharmacy.
Chi Xin transferred the medicine to her space, took her gun again, and looked warily at the men who were still browsing in the room.
The man with the fiercest eyes seemed to not have found what he was looking for and he cursed.
"Who the fuck searched that place first? There's fucking nothing!"
Chi Xin started to feel anxious and she followed Yu Xiang. But as soon as she moved, she stopped in her tracks and her eyes suddenly widened.
She gritted her teeth and watched the man who was getting closer and closer. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to move at all.
Yu Xiang was already a few steps away and when he turned around, he realized Chi Xin was rooted in place. He beckoned to her in astonishment but she ignored him.
She could guess what was happening and there was no way she could avoid it. Chi Xin stopped struggling against her own body, calmed herself and quietly looked at the other man. Yu Xiang glanced back at the door not too far from him but walked back to Chi Xin.
The other man had already reached the medicine shelf Chi Xin was hiding behind. He scanned it and naturally found her through the gap.
Four eyes faced each other and Chi Xin could clearly see the man's scar.

Knowing the system, things should go down—
Now!
The next second, Chi Xin got her body back and raised her leg to kick towards the shelf in front of her. She grabbed Yu Xiang and threw him down in an instant.
Bang—
The huge medicine rack fell to the ground, on the man who had just raised his gun to shoot.
"Ah—"
He screamed: "Attack! Attack! What the fuck!"
Gunfire sounded and if it hadn't been for Chi Xin's foresight, the both of them would have most likely been full of bullets by now.
Yu Xiang struggled to get back up to fight but Chi Xin pressed his head down.
"Don't move!" She whispered.
Yu Xiang instinctively dared not to anymore.
He raised his eyes with difficulty and noticed Chi Xin was just like him, her head bowed and not paying attention to the opponents. But her gun was in her hand and she kept shooting.
"Ah!"
"Ah—"
Judging from the screams from the other side, she was not wasting her bullets. Even if he already knew Chi Xin was amazing, he could not hide the deep shock on his face; she could hit her targets without even looking, was she even human?!
Her shots slowed down the enemies and when Chi Xin realized no bullets were flying over her head anymore, she gradually released Yu Xiang and let him get up.
When he stood up, he stretched his neck, feeling like he had almost been squished by Chi Xin's strength. It was both safe and really dangerous to go out with her!
Chi Xin was unaware he was cursing her in his head and she stood up, her gun pointed to the men. She had just fired four times but two of the shots had hit the same person; one man was still unharmed and had not fallen to the ground.
The man was shaking, holding his gun with both hands but not daring to shoot. The scarred man crawled from under the medicine rack, his leg obviously injured. The scar on his face looked even more ugly against the resentment in his eyes.
"Which base are you from?" His voice was hoarse.
"From the one that killed you." Chi Xin replied coldly.
"What a big mouth." The scarred man hissed and laughed, "Killing me is not something a little girl can do."
Chi Xin's hand holding her gun tightened but before she could say anything else, a bullet hit the man's side.
Yu Xiang had his pinky finger in his ear and was deliberately showing a stunned expression and said: "Was a dog barking just now?"
The scarred man looked at him grimly but stayed silent. People who could endure were the most frightening and Chi Xin's eyes became dark. Zombies were not complicated, it was much more difficult to deal with humans.
"I advise you to look at the situation now." Chi Xin strode across the fallen shelf but when nobody reacted, she pressed the cold muzzle of her Desert Eagle on the scarred man's forehead.
"What are you doing here in City L?"
Although the man was injured, he was still holding his gun but Chi Xin went head-on nonetheless. But she had forgotten about the other man and he pointed his weapon at her.
"You... you... Put your gun down!" He stuttered, "We have more weapons!"
"Really?" Chi Xin smiled.
Bang—
A second gun appeared in her hand quickly, so fast nobody could see where it was coming from. She raised her gun and shot the one the timid man was holding. His grip was not strong enough and it flew out and fell to the ground.
Chi Xin pointed the Desert Eagle to the scarred man and the other was raised toward the other man.
"Now, who has more guns?"
