During the time they were at the Hope Base, the team re-registered at the base's mission center, still using the name Dawn Team.

They recently received a mission to go out to the other side of the city to collect supplies. The round trip alone would take at least a day. In other words, this mission would require staying overnight outside.

After hearing the news, Ruan Ning thought about it and went to explain to Gu Yicheng that he wanted to join the team to complete the mission.

In fact, when their team was still on the way to Hope Base and no one had settled down, Ruan Ning thought that she must stay in the base forever and never go out again. But when she really arrived at the base, she felt that the days of killing zombies outside were more fulfilling and meaningful.

However, this time the mission did not require all the members of the team to go along, so Gu Yicheng picked and chose, and in the end only brought less than twenty people.

"Ningning, our mission this time is very dangerous, you stay in the base and wait for me to come back, okay?" Gu Yicheng rubbed her head with his hand and said in a gentle tone. He wanted to take the girl with him more than anyone else, let her stay by his side all the time, and be able to see her anytime and anywhere.

But this mission was really dangerous. The mission location was a commercial street with a lot of people before the end of the world. In addition to the groups of zombies, there were definitely third and fourth level mutant zombies. So it wasn't that Gu Yicheng didn't want to take her with him, but he wasn't sure he could protect her this time. So instead of taking her with him to satisfy his own selfish desires, he didn't want to see her injured. It was just that he wouldn't be able to see her for a few days, and he could bear it as long as he thought about her.

Hearing this man's tone of voice, Ruan Ning knew that this mission was indeed dangerous, otherwise he would not have rejected her joining so quickly. But at the same time, Ruan Ning also knew that if she insisted on going this time, he would eventually compromise and agree to take her along.

But Ruan Ning was not an ignorant person. She didn't want him and other members of the team to get into trouble because of her willfulness.

Ruan Ning stood there with a sullen look on his face, full of worry. "Brother, be careful on the road and take good care of yourself. If you encounter any trouble that you can't solve, leave that place as soon as possible, don't be stubborn..."

In Ruan Ning's memory, she seemed to have not been apart from Gu Yicheng for a long time. When they were together before, she didn't feel anything, especially in the past few days, she even felt that the two of them could see each other all day long, which was a bit too disgusting. But when it was time to separate, even though he was only away for about two days this time, Ruan Ning still felt what it was like to feel empty in her heart.

Hearing the girl's earnest instructions to him to be careful, Gu Yicheng's smile deepened, his eyes became deep, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

"Brother, before you leave, promise me that you will come back safe and sound from outside." Ruan Ning pursed her lips, with obvious concern in her watery almond eyes.

"Okay." Gu Yicheng agreed naturally and readily. Even for the sake of the person in front of him, he would not allow himself to be hurt. After all, as long as she cried, he would feel worse than her.

After seeing him make the promise, Ruan Ning's expression eased a little, and his tone was not as serious as before.

"...But I haven't left yet, and I'm a little reluctant to leave you. What should I do?" Gu Yicheng hugged her and whispered, "I really want to make you smaller than my palm, so that I can put you in my pocket and take you wherever I want."

Ruan Ning's cheeks turned slightly red. She stretched out her arms to hug him back, and said in an awkward tone: "Huh, who told you not to take me with you on this mission?" She was actually a little reluctant to leave him, but she was too shy to say it out loud.

The Dawn Team actually brought a healing esper this time, Su Yunjin. As for the supplies needed for the mission, with Gu Yicheng, a third-level space esper in the team, there was no need to worry at all.

Therefore, although Ruan Ning was a little disappointed that she could not go with them, she was not particularly worried about the safety of the team. After all, she had confidence in the strength of their Dawn Team, and if Gu Yicheng was really not sure about this mission, he would not have taken it.

Not long after Gu Yicheng left the Imperial Base, Ruan Ning went to visit Gu Huasheng that morning.

"We are both very filial and always come to see me whenever we have time. Unlike your brother, if I don't let anyone look for him, he might not even remember me as his old father for months." Gu Huasheng looked at the girl who came to accompany him specially with a kind face.

"That's because my brother has been busy recently, so I'm relatively free." Ruan Ning's voice was soft and gentle, "Also, my brother asked me to come visit Uncle Gu this time before he left. My brother actually still cares about you, Uncle Gu."

Ruan Ning was committed to repairing their father-son relationship, so he tried his best to speak well of Gu Yicheng in front of him.

Gu Huasheng smiled and said, "I know the character and temper of that brat. How could he take the initiative to ask you to visit me? So you don't have to say anything good for him."

Ruan Ning blinked and said nothing. This time she came to visit him not because of Gu Yicheng's request. Gu Yicheng's original words were to let her stay in the villa well, and if she wanted to go out, she should go with Lin Yang and the others, not alone. However, she did not listen to him.

"But I am happier than anyone else to see that your relationship has improved. When you were bullied by him and cried, your uncle was really almost mad at this brat." When Gu Huasheng talked about the past, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"I was really afraid of my brother at that time..." Ruan Ning said, "But after spending a few months with him, I found that he was actually a good person and treated me very well."

Gu Huasheng smiled with relief: "Your brother is not a bad person by nature, and he is also very capable, but he used to have a bad temper. Sometimes even I wanted to punish him. But now he can treat you well, and I feel relieved to leave you to him."

This tone of disdain and pride made Ruan Ning feel that father and son were indeed father and son. Even their expressions when they disdained each other were the same.

Gu Huasheng managed many of the Gu family's businesses. After the two chatted for a while, he went to the study on the second floor to handle official business. Ruan Ning also knew what to do and did not go up to disturb him. She just did her own thing downstairs.

Half an hour later, when she was called by the villa's servant to the restaurant for lunch, she saw a man in military uniform, with regular features, a serious face and looking particularly majestic, walking down from the second floor with Gu Huasheng.

Ruan Ning felt that the man in military uniform looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Ningning, come and meet him, this is your uncle." Gu Huasheng introduced.

After the original owner moved into the Gu family, she only came to the imperial capital once, so she didn't have a particularly deep impression of the head of the Gu family, only a vague impression. But this time, Xue Chen and others who came to protect her were sent by him through the person in charge of the S City Security Zone. After all, he was also someone who helped her.

Ruan Ning smiled sweetly at him, with dimples on the corners of her mouth, "Hello, uncle."

Gu Huayang nodded, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, "You are much taller than the last time I saw you in the capital."

Ruan Ning smiled and replied, "The last time I saw my uncle was five years ago."

"I heard from my second brother that you have dual abilities. Can you show them to me?" Gu Huayang had the aura of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time, but when he was talking to Ruan Ning, his aura was much more restrained, and he seemed more approachable.

Ruan Ning subconsciously glanced at Gu Huasheng who was standing next to Gu Huayang, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded.

She took the time to demonstrate both of her powers, but in order to conceal her uniqueness, she did not expose her use of the crystal core when using the healing power. When she activated her power, the crystal core melted very quickly in her palm, so as soon as she took the crystal core out of the space, it would disappear. As long as she didn't want others to see it, it would be difficult for others to notice this.

As her two abilities were displayed, Gu Huasheng's eyes turned to admiration and he asked directly, "Are you interested in joining our army?"

Gu Huasheng heard this and coughed twice, "Brother, I won't let you poach people like this. Ningning is now in Yicheng's team."

"I value talent. Being in Yicheng's team doesn't mean you can't join the army." Although the Gu family is in charge of a large number of hot weapons, the number of superpowers is far less than that of the Superpower Guild. Special superpowers like healing are even more scarce, with very few in number, and most of them are in the Superpower Guild.

The Gu family did not have their own healing psychics, so they could only borrow from the Psychic Guild. Otherwise, they would not be suppressed by the Psychic Guild, because every time someone in their army was seriously injured, they needed healing psychics to treat them. They could not tear their faces with them, and had to spend a lot of materials and crystal cores to maintain a stable relationship.

The highest-level healing psychic in the Hope Base belongs to the Psychic Guild, so in order to achieve cooperation, they took out some things for exchange.

However, if they could have a powerful healing psychic in their army, the situation would be completely different. They would no longer be threatened by the psychic union and would have to retreat again and again.

Gu Huayang had just cut a deep gash on his arm with a dagger and asked Ruan Ning to treat him. The healing effect was unexpectedly good.

He felt that the underage girl in front of him had abilities no lower than the most powerful healing ability user in the base.
