Chapter 179 1. A foot was stepped on his face.
Chen Youyou's tone turned resentful again, her eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.
"And me, I've been reborn several times in this apocalypse, struggling for so long, yet God still gives me nothing. I want Shang Yu's opportunity, but no matter how close I get to him, I can't get it no matter how hard I try each time I'm reborn. But thankfully, this time I met you. Your cheat is stronger than his, while you are weaker than me..."
"Shang Yu is the chosen one of destiny, and I can't beat him, but you're not, are you? What are your strengths? Your only advantage is martial arts... You didn't know I was this good before you taught me... What makes you think you have such a powerful system? Without the system, without Chu Feng, what are you? What makes you think you have everything you have now!"
Chen Youyou grew angrier as she spoke, walked over, grabbed Gu Xixi by the neck, and shook her. Why is this world so unfair?
A feeling of suffocation washed over Gu Xixi, her vision blurred, and she felt a pang of betrayal that tore at her heart... But there was nothing she could do. How could Chen Youyou know she had a cheat code... So from the very beginning, her approach was purposeful.
A venomous snake was watching her intently, but she was completely unaware!
Chen Youyou's words ripped open the blurry barrier in Gu Xixi's mind. Yes, from childhood to adulthood, her parents had protected her, and everyone she had met had been a good person.
Her roommates and teachers are all known to be very kind, and she is truly happy. Because things have gone so smoothly for her, she has become accustomed to treating others with sincerity.
After a few days of being tormented by society, she found protection from the "Presidential Brother," and with the "Presidential Brother" and the country as her backing, she became accustomed to relying on these two powerful figures... completely abandoning any sense of crisis...
Chen Youyou's words weren't entirely wrong. If she lost the system and the country, what would she be?
Without the system, she lost her source of wealth and her uniqueness; without the system, the country would no longer be her backing, and the connections, friends, and the face she now possessed that others would grant her with a few words... none of these belonged to her personally.
Without the system and the country, she is nothing... It was all just a false prosperity... Even if the system never leaves her, what if she encounters something more powerful than the system... She was wrong.
If I am not strong enough, I will be guilty of possessing a treasure, and trouble will inevitably come sooner or later, just like now when I am powerless to fight back... and I have even implicated Chu Feng.
Gu Xixi felt an overwhelming sense of regret and self-reproach.
If she had been more mindful of potential dangers when she had such great opportunities, and had cultivated her character while developing her knowledge and martial arts skills, perhaps Chen Youyou wouldn't have had the chance to make her move, and Chu Feng wouldn't be facing the crisis he's in today.
She's the one who ruined Chu Feng!
Guilt and self-blame spread through her, making it even harder for Gu Xixi to breathe.
Chu Feng struggled to wake up. He had been in a daze but could still hear them talking. Now, seeing Gu Xixi being choked, he was anxious. "Ping Xixi is such a good person. She is kind, tolerant, generous, beautiful, and has a whole host of other good qualities. Such a cheat code should be given to her."
“Xixi, don’t listen to her nonsense. You’ve just been too well protected since you were little, so you don’t understand the wickedness of people. But that’s not your fault. Having a happy life isn’t your problem. I didn’t even notice anything wrong with Chen Youyou, that man-eating flower, let alone you. Just consider this a lesson, Xixi. Besides me, there will be many more people around you in the future to accompany and protect you.”
There won't be just one Chu Feng in this world.
Hearing Chu Feng's protection, Gu Xixi couldn't hold back her tears any longer, but fragmented images flashed through her mind... Is this what it feels like to be on the verge of death?
Chu Feng smiled at Gu Xixi, then used his last bit of strength to prop himself up and staggered to Gu Xixi's side. He then drew his gun and attacked Chen Youyou.
He vomited blood, but Gu Xixi didn't; the system must have protected her.
Therefore, before he completely falls, he must eliminate Chen Youyou, this dangerous element, and not give her another chance to harm Gu Xixi.
He can die, but Gu Xixi cannot!
Chen Youyou quickly dodged and released Gu Xixi, allowing Gu Xixi to catch her breath. She gasped for air as the fighting before her aimed every move at her opponent's vital points.
Chen Youyou easily kicked the poisoned Chu Feng aside, and Chu Feng vomited blood again, lying on the ground barely breathing.
"Chu Feng, you must hold on. Chen Youyou, what do you want? Tell me, and I'll give it to you." Gu Xixi's tears fell in large drops. She couldn't believe that all this trouble was just because she was jealous and wanted to vent her anger.
Chen Youyou fired two more guns, hitting Chu Feng's calves. A smile curved her lips. "So loyal. Too bad I anticipated your move. I stole this poison when I went to the lab to get zombie medicine last time. It's said to cause the immune system to collapse completely in one hour, and you'll die in agony in 12 hours at most."
"Although there are 12 hours, by the time everyone finds you, you'll already be cold corpses. Exciting, isn't it? Of course, since you guessed that I have something to ask for, then Sister Xixi, if you give me your system willingly, I'll give you the antidote, how about it?"
She knew that a system generally requires the owner to willingly transfer it to avoid side effects, and Chen Youyou was certain that Gu Xixi would agree.
Because Gu Xixi values relationships... with Chu Feng involved, the success rate is at least 90%.
"Brother Tong, I can get rid of the poison, but what about Chu Feng? Do you have the antidote? Can you save him?" Gu Xixi knew about this poison; it was originally used to treat zombified animals...
[The system's security mechanism only targets the host and generally only takes protective action against external attacks and when the system can clearly detect that the host is reacting to danger. However, no aggressive tendencies of Chen Youyou were detected before this, so protection was only provided after the fact.]
The system volume has decreased significantly.
So, I'm sorry to Chu Feng.
"Don't give it to her, Xixi. When we were sent to your side, we were already prepared to sacrifice ourselves at any time. Don't feel guilty. This is our mission. Besides, if we give the system to someone like her, the entire world will probably be destroyed."
If a powerful weapon falls into the hands of bad people, it is a crisis for the world, not an opportunity.
Chu Feng lay on the ground, unable to move, his face cold. Even keeping his eyes open was a struggle for him, but he still murmured, "Xi Xi, don't give it to her."
Otherwise, he would surely die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Chen Youyou looked at Chu Feng impatiently, walked over and stepped on Chu Feng's face, "Shut up."
Chu Feng completely fainted.
"Gu Xixi, will you give it to me or not? I don't know if I can poison you, so I deliberately poisoned Chu Feng as well. He's your best friend who's been through thick and thin with you. Are you really not going to save him?" Chen Youyou laughed arrogantly.
It feels so good to trample those who were once high and mighty underfoot.
