"You are the team that is going to the Hope Base, right? Our team is going back as well, so how about our two teams team up together?" The captain over there had a good temper and a warm attitude. When he saw that these people were unfamiliar faces and knew that they came to the capital from other provinces and cities, he took the initiative to invite them to go to the Hope Base.

Gu Yicheng was now able to control his emotions freely. He hid the coldness in his eyes and smiled gently, "Of course."

Nie Wenxin, who was standing by, didn't pay much attention at first, but when the captain of the opposing team showed up, he immediately recognized the man's identity. He was his classmate at Imperial Capital University, Gu Yicheng.

After the apocalypse, Nie Wenxin did not see Gu Yicheng at school, and he had not heard anyone mention where they had seen him in the past few months. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared, and even Lin Yang and Jiang Jingchao, who often appeared beside him, had no news at all. Later, Nie Wenxin even thought that they might have died at the hands of zombies, otherwise how could they have disappeared without a trace.

I never thought that there would be a day when I could see these three people again in the imperial capital.

"Gu Yicheng? It's you! You're not dead?" Nie Wenxin's face was full of surprise. After he said this, he also felt that it was not good to guess that someone was dead as soon as he met them, which could easily lead to misunderstandings. He quickly explained: "Many alumni of Imperial Capital University said that they haven't seen you for a long time, so we all thought you were dead..." This means that he is not the only one who thinks so, but many people think the same way, so he blurted out what he just said.

Nie Wenxin was a relatively well-known person in Imperial Capital University, but he was not as good as Gu Yicheng, and was even inferior to him in every aspect. Whether in terms of academic performance or popularity, he was not as good as the person in front of him.

Nie Wenxin couldn't deny that he was a little jealous of Gu Yicheng, but academic performance and popularity were only a small part of the reason. The main reason was that the girl he liked also liked this person. Nie Wenxin was deeply shocked when he learned the truth. Later, the end of the world broke out.

After the apocalypse, Nie Wenxin awakened his wood power, and without Gu Yicheng, the man who had been suppressing him, he felt relieved. He had been like a fish in water in the apocalypse for more than three months. He first went to the Hope Base with the survivors of the school, and soon became the deputy captain of the team.

Nie Wenxin learned that their team came from outside the province. Although he didn't know why Gu Yicheng suddenly went to another province and city and just returned to the imperial capital, his return still gave him a strong sense of crisis. Xiaoling had just recently agreed to date him. If she found out that Gu Yicheng was not dead and had returned, would she change her mind and throw herself into the arms of this man?

"I went back home for something before the end of the world, so I was not in the capital at that time. It's normal that you couldn't see me." Except for the obvious emotional fluctuations in the beginning, Gu Yicheng's expression was just right at other times, even when talking to Nie Wenxin, and he treated others no differently than usual.

Nie Wenxin was thinking about Xiao Ling, his mind was a little distracted, "Is that so? Then everyone will be very happy to know about this."

Ruan Ning listened to the conversation between the two silently. She suddenly felt pity for the young man opposite her who was completely clueless and was still "reminiscing" with Gu Yicheng.

This person probably doesn't know that the Gu Yicheng in front of him is reborn. He returned to the imperial capital this time to settle the debt he had incurred in his previous life and to take his life.

Because there was someone leading the way, they arrived at the Hope Base before dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the tall reinforced concrete wall of the Hope Base, creating a shocking and eye-opening feeling.

Ruan Ning had longed for the Base of Hope before him ever since he discovered that he had traveled to the end of the world.

This base, just like its name, represents the hope of China. At least before the end of the novel, no matter what happens to other bases in China, whether they are breached by zombies or not, the Hope Base will always stand firm.

So from that time on, Ruan Ning felt that staying in this base would be much safer than staying in other places. If circumstances permitted, she would definitely come here in the future.

Now, her wish has come true.

At this moment, she was standing at the gate of the Hope Base, and was about to enter and become a member of the base.

"Brother, I'm so happy, we're finally here." Ruan Ning's face was flushed because she was too excited and agitated, and she was holding the hands of the people around her tightly without realizing it.

Gu Yicheng looked at her beautiful profile and brilliant smile. All the anger and resentment he had just felt because he saw the person who had plotted against him in his previous life disappeared in an instant. In his dark and deep eyes, there was only Ruan Ning beside him. "Well, we're here."

Gu Yicheng thought he was born again for revenge. Everything went smoothly as he expected, except for the girl in front of him. Her presence made him realize that his heart would beat for others, and even when he was by her side and saw her happy smile, he would feel an unprecedented tenderness in his heart.

Gu Yicheng never thought that he would fall for this sister who was not related to him by blood one day. He had seen her when she was just brought home by the old man. At that time, he was still very perverse and thought that she was an illegitimate daughter that the old man brought back from somewhere, so he warned her once and asked her to behave herself in the future. Later, he found out that it was a misunderstanding and that this girl was the daughter of the old man's savior. He no longer had the interest to bully a girl who was several years younger than him. In Gu Yicheng's impression, there was nothing special about this girl except that she was a little too timid and obedient.

However, ever since their last meeting after the apocalypse, she had suddenly become distinct in his eyes, as if there had suddenly been a ray of warm light on her that attracted him, making him unconsciously want to get closer to her little by little.

Ruan Ning was happy for a while as she looked at the Hope Base so close to her, and suddenly she remembered another very important thing. She looked at the man standing next to her and asked tentatively, "Brother, now that we have arrived at the Hope Base, should we go look for Uncle Gu first?"

Gu Huasheng treated the original owner very well, and he treated her like his own daughter. Even when he was thousands of kilometers away from her in the imperial capital at the end of the world, he still remembered to call her to ask about her situation. Xue Chen and the others were originally sent by him to protect him, so he put a lot of thought into it.

Previously, she was on the road and it was inconvenient to contact him, so she was unable to call him to let him know she was safe.

Now that she has arrived in the imperial capital, it would be a bit unreasonable if she didn't go find him. Although Ruan Ning initially treated him the same way as she treated Gu Yicheng, she had the intention of clinging to him in the end times. But whoever helped her, no matter why, she always remembered it in her heart and never forgot it.

"Why should we go find him first?" Gu Yicheng also knew how much that man cared about his Ningning, even more than he cared about his own son. In his previous life, after hearing the news of her death, he really lay in bed for several days without eating or drinking. Later, his physical condition deteriorated, and his originally strong body became worse day by day.

Gu Yicheng didn't understand his actions at that time. Although he doesn't want to admit it now, he really has to thank him for sending Ningning to his side.

Whenever he thought that she might die in the mouth of a zombie in this life for various reasons, just like in the previous life, Gu Yicheng couldn't control his irritability and anger. But strangely, even when he thought about the news that she died in school in the previous life, he didn't have such a feeling in his heart. Obviously, she in the previous life and this life can be said to be the same person to some extent. She is just a different period of her life.

However, even though he was grateful to the old man for sending Ning Ning to his side, Gu Yicheng never thought of taking the initiative to look for him.

Not to mention that they always quarrel whenever they are together, just take his relationship with Ningning, which is already in an unstable stage. If the old man knew that they were together, he would most likely be the first person to disagree, and might even try to stop them.

So how stupid must Gu Yicheng be to take the initiative to look for him.

But just because he didn't want to go didn't mean the girl next to him didn't want to either. She had a good relationship with the old man, and if she wasn't allowed to go, she might be unhappy.

"Ningning, we can settle down first and then go find him. There is no need to rush. I believe the old man won't mind waiting for another day or two." Gu Yicheng said in a gentle voice.

Ruan Ning was not so easy to fool. She knew that he was taking a roundabout approach, but she also knew how bad the relationship between father and son was. It was already a particularly difficult thing to get Gu Yicheng to agree to go find him.

Besides, Xue Chen and his five friends live in the capital, so they must have relatives and friends here. When they go to look for relatives and friends, Uncle Gu will find out that they have come to Hope Base, and he will definitely know that she has come with him. He can find out about her situation through other people, which can be regarded as an indirect way to let him know that she is safe.

If she wanted to meet him, she might have to wait for several days. After she had done her job with Gu Yicheng, she would go to see him with him. Ruan Ning always thought that a person who was so kind to other people's children, how could he not love his own children? So Uncle Gu would definitely feel very happy after seeing Gu Yicheng.

Ruan Ning thought so and didn't say anything more. He nodded and agreed with his opinion.

Just like Ruan Ning could understand Gu Yicheng's thoughts, how could Gu Yicheng not see her thoughts? It was just because he was willing to pamper her that he could pretend to know nothing and fulfill her little wish.

But there is one thing he will never compromise on.

No one could take her away from him, not even his biological father.
