Chapter 70: Qi Current (1/2)

At first, I thought that Wu Yan and I did something unforgivable and that's why Lui Zhi was glaring at us with all the killing intent he could muster.

”Stop,” I muttered before the System forced my mind and body to go out of control again. Fortunately, I managed to stop the prompts in time, or else my Original Qi Core and Virus Qi Core might have gone amok once again.

”Lui Zhi, your eyes, your eyes!” Wu Yan whispered towards him as we walked forward.

Upon realizing that he was glaring at us, Liu Zhi cleared his throat and tried to regain his composure. Of course, it was obvious that Liu Zhi was angry about something else, but for a moment, my instinct told me that he was directing his anger at me.

If I were me in the past, I would've attacked him first, no questions asked. It's amusing how much I've changed after waking up as a rabid human with my consciousness intact.

”Is something wrong? You're making a twisted face, Liu Zhi.” I asked as Wu Yan and I sat with them. ”Did another family offend yours? Or maybe you were scammed?”

”No, it's worse than that.” Liu Zhi said.

Blade and Luo Zehn nodded.

”I will contact the Tang Shelter to see if they can send any reinforcements here but the journey might take at least ten days at most so they might not make it in time.” Luo Zehn suggested.

”As for the neighboring shelters who are allied with us, most of them are also dealing with the same problems so we can't afford to ask for reinforcements from them.”

Wu Yan gasped and stared at everyone in shock as her body trembled. ”Is it happening now? That's impossible. It's expected to happen a few months from now. Why is it happening now.”

”We don't know either, but the reports from the scout aren't a lie. We've received a few reports from neighboring shelters, saying that they were experiencing it as well.” Blade responded as he glanced towards me and gestured her lips towards Wu Yan. It's as if he was telling me that I calm Wu Yan down.

Why am I supposed to be the one to do that? I just got here?
