The cold glint of the scalpel pierced the air, stabbing fiercely towards Lin Shi's location.
Xu Qin couldn't see the situation, but the gory scene that came to her mind almost made her scream in fright.
She clamped her hand over her mouth tightly to keep from making a sound.
However, the bloody scene Xu Qin imagined did not occur; Chu, the school doctor, did not stab anything with his knife!
He was startled and his expression changed abruptly.
Where is the person?
"Are you looking for me?"
A burst of intense light accompanied Lin Shi's voice suddenly illuminating the darkness.
Lin Shi stood two meters away from Chu, holding a powerful flashlight, the dazzling light dispelling the darkness of the entire gym.
"Ah!!"
This time, Xu Qin really couldn't help but scream out loud.
"How could you be there?! I remember clearly that you were sleeping in this place!"
Chu, the school doctor, covered his eyes which were stung by the intense light with one hand, and pointed a scalpel at Lin Shi with the other.
"Oh, because I moved to another place to sleep after blowing out the candle," Lin Shi said.
"Impossible! We didn't hear any sound of you moving! And where did you get that flashlight from?"
Xu Qin's face was full of panic and helplessness at being discovered.
Lin Shi shrugged and answered Xu Qin's question:
"I really don't know whether to say you guys are smart or too foolish.
I just needed to move to another spot before this school doctor lay down, his movement would cover my sound.
The flashlight, of course, was taken out from my backpack."
"By the way, you two not sleeping in the middle of the night, do you want to kill me?"
Lin Shi asked Xu Qin with a smile on his face.
"But I have a habit, I won't sleep in the same room with strangers.
If I did, I would never fall asleep."
After struggling in the post-apocalyptic world, he was all too familiar with the malice of human nature.
The moment he saw this Chu, the school doctor, he noticed a fierce aura of someone who had just killed.
He cautiously changed his position when the candlelight went out.
Moreover, after being reborn, Lin Shi was particularly sensitive to the gaze of others, and even in the dark, he could still sense the faint murderous intent.
So he had already opened his eyes.
He really didn't want to live an extra night.
Lin Shi's eerie smile, coupled with the situation, made Xu Qin suddenly feel a chill.
Is this person really the Lin Shi she knew?
Lin Shi didn't waste any more words, he quickly stepped forward and effortlessly snatched the scalpel from Chu's hand, stabbing it into Chu's chest.
"Don't!"
Xu Qin's voice rang out at the same time the scalpel hit Chu's heart.
The movement was so fast that Chu, the school doctor, didn't have time to react.
Ignoring the physiological tears flowing from his eyes under the strong light, he looked at his chest in disbelief.
The scalpel was completely plunged into the heart, leaving only the handle exposed, with glaring blood spreading outwards from the center of the scalpel.
The next second, he fell to the ground with a "bang."
Lin Shi's face was calm, as if he had done something insignificant, and turned to look at Xu Qin, who had lost her voice in horror.
Ever since he woke up from the geomagnetic storm, he found his physical strength to be abnormal.
Whether it was speed, strength, or neural reflexes, they all exceeded his previous abilities by more than a little bit.
Xu Qin's eyes widened in fear, her body seemed nailed to the ground, and she trembled uncontrollably all over.
"Please...
don't kill me..."
Xu Qin knew her fate and pleaded desperately:
"I can be your girlfriend, don't kill me, you can do anything to me, please Lin Shi!
We were good friends in high school, right? Actually, I've always liked you!"
Xu Qin's desperate eyes were filled with hope, and she desperately tried to show affection on her face.
"Alright.
I'll give you a chance."
Lin Shi smiled, with an unmeltable coldness in his eyes, and his words were even more chilling.
"I'll shoot at you, if you can dodge it, I'll let you go."
Xu Qin's pupils quaked, looking at the pistol that appeared out of thin air in Lin Shi's hand, aimed at herself.
"I'll count down three numbers, and then I'll shoot."
Lin Shi didn't give Xu Qin a chance to object and began the countdown directly:
"Three."
Xu Qin's eyes were full of despair.
"Two."
Xu Qin's eyes suddenly changed.
"..." Without counting to one, Lin Shi pulled the trigger directly.
At this moment, Xu Qin's temperament changed drastically.
Her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in an instant, and the bullet that was impossible to dodge was evaded as she slightly shifted her body!
Realizing she had dodged the bullet, a wild joy of being reborn in despair appeared on Xu Qin's face.
She screamed in her heart: I dodged it! I dodged it!!
"Puff!"
Before the wild joy on Xu Qin's face had time to fade, a blood flower suddenly burst on Xu Qin's shoulder.
She cried out in pain, clutching her shoulder and falling to the ground.
It turned out that Lin Shi had fired another shot.
"Can only dodge one shot."
Lin Shi's expression was a bit disappointed.
Just now, he just wanted to let Xu Qin exert her last value before dying, to verify whether she could activate the genetic lock at the critical moment of life and death.
Now he can be sure that Xu Qin has indeed activated the genetic lock.
