Lin Xi was startled, but turned her head with feigned composure. "None of your business. Kid, don't fall for me, it's a dead end."
Chen Jin: ...
"Lin Xi".
Lin Xi stubbornly denied it, "Who is this?"
"There's no one else here, so don't pretend with me."
Lin Xi stopped and looked at him, asking somewhat strangely, "How did you know it was me? Did my new persona not work out?"
Chen Jin chuckled, offering a fair assessment: "You've quite succeeded in establishing yourself. When have you ever seen Jiang Chuan treat you like this before?"
Why is that?
“I met Eldest Sister and Second Sister in the capital before. They called you Third Brother, so when you mentioned that you were called Third Brother, I had my suspicions,” Chen Jin explained.
Lin Xi: !
Oh, is that so?
"This is ridiculous, okay? There are so many people in the world called 'Third Brother,' how come you're so sure it's me?"
Chen Jin looked at her neck. "This necklace."
"My older sister and the waiter bought it." Lin Xi touched her neck. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. She suddenly thought in the morning that since she had already bought it, it would be a waste not to wear it.
"Yes, I saw it."
Lin Xi nodded. "I see. But even so, my face is completely different from before."
"Have you forgotten? Back in the Wind Eagle Legion, you said something really strange to me, something like, 'If one day I see you suddenly change, don't be afraid,'"
Chen Jin thought about it carefully and confirmed, "That's what you said back then."
Lin Xi was completely baffled. When she used her other face before, she was afraid that the disguise pill might suddenly become ineffective, so she deliberately reminded him of that.
I never expected it to turn into a boomerang!
"...You have a really good memory."
Chen Jin said, "The main problem is that what you said back then was too strange."
Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "I don't think I've given anything else away, have I?"
Chen Jin shook his head. "To be honest, if I hadn't suddenly remembered those strange things you said before, I wouldn't have been sure it was you."
After saying that, the two of them fell silent, unsure of what to say next.
Lin Xi spoke slowly, "I'm not ready to fight you guys yet."
When this is mentioned, a sigh is inevitable.
They were once inseparable partners, sharing countless unforgettable days together.
When they met again, she found herself to have become their wanted person.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Jin was taken aback.
"The Wind Eagle Gang's kill order? We're now on opposing sides," Lin Xi said casually.
"Oh... there's no mandatory requirement to do this task. Besides, I don't see Lin Xi. Isn't the person standing in front of me the third brother?"
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then readily agreed, hands on her hips, "You're right, I don't know any Lin Xi either. Don't mention that name in front of me next time."
"You're lucky you were assigned to the same team as me. If it were Jiang Chuan, they would have been fighting outside before they even got inside."
"Hahaha! Don't tell them my identity. We can discuss things privately," Lin Xi said. "By the way, don't they have any suspicions at all?"
"That's not entirely true," Chen Jin said as they walked. "Your height alone makes you very distinctive..."
Lin Xi's face darkened. "That's enough. Stop talking. It's impolite to say any more."
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Jin finally asked, "Lin Xi, is what they said true?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi reacted, her brows furrowing. "How am I supposed to put this? I guess so. On the first day of the apocalypse, I went out and bought a bottle of Coke, and then I got bitten by a zombie in the store."
Speaking of this matter, Lin Xi also deeply regrets it.
If I hadn't been so greedy, this would never have happened.
"Cola?" Chen Jin was clearly not expected to get this answer. Did he really get bitten by a zombie just for a bottle of cola?
That's a bit outrageous.
"But then again, because for some special reason, my brain wasn't invaded by the virus. At the beginning, I went through a particularly awkward period where I clearly knew I was human, but my body uncontrollably turned into a zombie."
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never bitten anyone."
Chen Jin felt a pang of sympathy. "I knew it. So you can't really be considered a zombie in essence."
"That's not right either. I have the abilities of a zombie, so if you look at it that way, I am indeed a zombie." Having kept this secret in her heart for so long, she finally spoke it out, and she felt a sense of relief. "Actually, I don't have any earth-based enhancement abilities at all. I have great physical strength simply because I am a zombie."
"No wonder, ordinary earth-type enhancements are not this powerful."
Lin Xi asked, "How do you feel after I tell you the truth?"
Chen Jin comforted him, "No matter what, we are friends and partners."
Xin Ning said that each team had about forty people, but in reality, Lin Xi and Chen Jin saw that there were only about twenty people in each team.
"Didn't you say there were forty people? Where are the others?" Chen Jin asked.
"Newcomers, huh? Our third team sent out ten members, and another ten of them just happened to be drawn into fighting with other teams."
Is this the case for every squad?
"Of course, that's the rule. Every week, ten members are randomly selected from each team to compete, and the result determines the distribution of supplies for that week." As he spoke, the man shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, we've been at the bottom of the rankings the last few times. It looks like we'll get the worst supplies again this month."
Lin Xi asked curiously, "Are our three teams really that bad?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Hearing Lin Xi say that, he instantly felt that he and everyone in the entire Third Team of the Military Region had been greatly insulted, and he was furious. "If Qiao Ning and Brother Xie were here, how could we be bullied like this by them?"
"Who is this?"
Zhu Gan looked at Lin Xi, suppressing his anger, and said, "Forget it, it's normal that you two are newcomers and don't know. Brother Xie is the commander of our third team. His strength ranks among the top three in the military region. Qiao Ning is slightly weaker, but she should not be underestimated."
“The month before last, the military headquarters suddenly issued a mission, specifically naming Xie Erge. After he left, the entire Third Team became disorganized.” Zhu Gan glanced at the demoralized team members and sighed.
"Huh? Besides those two, don't our third team have any other capable people?" Lin Xi asked again.
Zhu Gan said, "Actually, each team only has one or two outstanding players. The others are about the same level. It's just that our three teams are currently leaderless. No one respects this temporary acting commander, so we're in this situation."
Temporary Commander?
