Ruan Ning moved to a strange environment today and was not used to it, so he hasn't fallen asleep yet.
Seeing that the room suddenly became dark, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, and she turned on the flashlight at the same time.
How could the power go out all of a sudden? Could something have happened?!
Ruan Ning remembered that Yu Yiyi had told her during the day that the cultivation center would never lose power under normal circumstances. The seeds in the cultivation rooms on the first and second floors were the hard work of their cultivation center. Before germination, each of them was very fragile and would lose its activity if not handled with care.
Ruan Ning put on her coat and was thinking about whether to go out to take a look, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Ruan Ning immediately became alert and took out the gun from the room. Only when she heard the rhythm of three long and one short knocks on the door did she breathe a sigh of relief and open the door.
As she expected, the person standing at the door was Gu Yicheng. He also held a flashlight in his hand, and the warm yellow light illuminated half of his handsome face. "Ningning, are you okay here?"
Ruan Ning shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about whether something will happen at the training center. I feel something is wrong with the sudden power outage this time."
Gu Yicheng thought about the robbery they encountered on the road during the day, and combined with the current situation, he agreed with her idea, "I'm afraid someone wants to take advantage of this power outage to fish in troubled waters, and it is very likely that they are the same group of people who robbed our supply truck during the day."
Ruan Ning's eyes widened and he said anxiously, "Then isn't their goal——"
What are the most valuable things in the breeding center? Of course, the new varieties of plants that have just been cultivated! !
Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng planned to go over and take a look. They were worried that they didn't catch the group of guys who robbed their supply truck during the day. Now that they had come to their doorstep again, they certainly couldn't let go of this good opportunity.
Both of us had flashlights, so even though the power was out in the entire training center and there was no light at all, we didn't have to move forward in the dark.
However, when he was about to walk out of the door of the small western-style building, Gu Yichen suddenly turned off the light of the flashlight, and the view in front of him became dark again.
Before Ruan Ning had time to panic, she felt a warm hand holding hers, and a familiar and reassuring breath came, calming her slightly uneasy heart.
"Hey, someone is coming our way." he whispered.
Ruan Ning followed his example and steadied his breath so as not to be noticed by those around him.
Fortunately, the man passing by the small building was a guard of the training center. He was still in uniform and must have heard the noise and was rushing over there like them.
They were now standing on the flat ground downstairs and could see a flash of white light in the building of the training center in front of them.
While they were waiting for the guard to leave, Jiang Jingchao and four others heard the noise and came out to join them.
Jiang Jingchao followed Gu Yichen's instructions and released his mental network to find out where the outsiders were. However, just as his mental network had extended from the first floor to the second floor of the training center and he was about to start a search, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and was forced to retract his supernatural powers. His face turned pale and his throat tasted fishy. He immediately leaned forward and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ruan Ning was standing next to Jiang Jingchao. She was frightened by his reaction and quickly reached out to hold his arm. "Chaozi, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly vomiting blood?"
Jiang Jingchao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "The other side also has a psychic, and his level is higher than mine. I was discovered by that person just now, so I suffered a mental backlash."
Jiang Jingchao's psychic ability has already broken through the third level. The only way he could be forced to this point is that his opponent has already reached the fourth level.
Gu Yicheng thought for a moment, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back the same way first, and let's not worry about this matter for the time being." The other party came prepared and was a tough nut to crack. Since these people were not coming for them, there was no need to get involved.
Ruan Ning thought of Yu Yiyi, who had deep feelings for the training center, and hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not propose to Gu Yicheng that she want to go and support the training center.
Psychics start to become more aggressive starting from level 4, and level 6 can even control zombies. They are no longer simply used to detect the surrounding situation as before.
Chaozi was attacked by the fourth-level psychic just now, and his psychic power was backfired. The attack of psychic power users is long-range, making it difficult to defend against. This is also the ability that becomes more and more difficult to deal with as the end of the world progresses.
Among them, perhaps only Gu Yicheng, who had just entered the fifth level of thunder ability, could be completely unaffected by the psychic ability user. The other team members were only at the third level at most. If they were to fight head-on, with Gu Yicheng on their side, they would still have a great chance of winning even if the opponent had a fourth level psychic ability user. However, Chaozi could not detect the opponent's position now, but the opponent's psychic ability user could know their position. The enemy was in the dark, and they were in the light. If they went, it might not only be useless, but also cause trouble.
Now we can only hope that the training center has measures to deal with this emergency.
Half an hour later.
The training center has electricity back on.
Soon, not long after, Ruan Ning, who had been staying in the room peacefully following Gu Yicheng's words, heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the small western-style building. Then, a group of people came in, knocked on the door, and called out all the people living in the small western-style building.
In this small building, in addition to the members of the Dawn Team, there is another team of ten people. I heard that they seem to come from a small base next to the Chaoyang Base. This time, like them, they are here to cultivate the center's
"Something happened in our training center just now. Now we can only ask everyone to go to the front hall with us." The young woman leading the team counted the number of people and said seriously.
Ruan Ning noticed that the people coming from the training center were all holding electric batons, which meant that if any of them resisted or did not obey the arrangements, they would use force.
It seemed that something serious had happened in the training center, otherwise these people would not have suddenly become so strong even when speaking to them.
…
Yu Xian stood in the hall with an unpleasant look on her face, her fists clenched at her sides, trying hard to suppress her anger.
Someone just reported their losses to her: "The plants in our three cultivation rooms 101, 203, and 204 were all stolen by those thieves."
The plants in these three cultivation rooms are all the latest varieties of their cultivation center. The group of people who came to the cultivation center to steal things had a clear goal. They did not go to any other cultivation rooms, but went directly to these cultivation rooms. It was obvious that they had long been eyeing their new varieties.
Their breeding center can indeed spend more time to cultivate all the plants again. They are familiar with the whole process, and it is only a matter of time to replicate it. But the key point now is that if these plants are leaked to the outside in advance, then their new varieties will have no value. The people in other bases are not stupid, so how could they bring supplies to exchange with them for things that have lost their value?
The situation outside the base has become increasingly serious recently. We hear reports of bases being besieged by swarms of zombies everywhere. Everyone feels insecure and is more cautious when going out.
Most of the psychics in the training center are wood-type psychics, and their combat power is generally not high. There is little hope of letting them go out and search for supplies on their own.
As for developing newer varieties to replace the existing ones, they couldn't guarantee that what they could cultivate in a week would be better than this time. The breeding center was short of supplies, and it was hard to say whether they could survive the winter safely without the supplies exchanged with other bases. If they couldn't hold on, their breeding center would have to close down.
Yu Yiyi stood beside Yu Xian with sleepy eyes. She was just woken up from bed. After hearing that all the plants in the three cultivation rooms of the cultivation center were stolen tonight, she felt terrible. "Aunt Yu Xian, what should we do? Next week, the major bases will send people to collect the plants. If the plants are stolen now, we will definitely not be able to get so many plants out."
Yu Yiyi knew that the breeding center was the result of Aunt Yu Xian’s hard work, and those newly cultivated varieties were the capital for their center to survive. If they lost their advantages, they would fall behind others and would no longer be able to maintain their current status.
In order to set up the training center, Aunt Yu Xian suffered a lot and endured a lot of pain. Yu Yiyi doesn't want to see her go through the same thing again.
Yu Xian's eyes were sharp as she scanned the guests staying overnight, and finally landed on the Dawn Team, or more precisely, Ruan Ning alone. She said in a bad tone, "Among the people here today, you're the only one who went to the cultivation room this afternoon and knows where the plants are placed."
Before the suspected Ruan Ning could say anything, Yu Yiyi got anxious when she heard her sarcastic words and quickly defended her, "It is absolutely impossible that Sister Ning Ning stole the things!!"
However, Yu Yiyi was still explaining things for a stranger whom she had only known for a few hours, which made Yu Xian even more angry. She said angrily, "You can't know a person's heart from his face! Yiyi, you just took this person to these cultivation rooms this afternoon, and all the plants were stolen at night. And today, only their team came to the cultivation center. How can I not suspect these people?!"
Ruan Ning had never expected that the training center would suspect her of this, and she was obviously stunned for a while. Gu Yicheng, who was standing by, put his arm around her shoulders and protected her by his side, with a protective look in his eyes. He said, "Don't blame us just because you lost something."
After that, he sneered and continued, "Why don't you suspect that someone from your training center stole it? It's possible that they stole it, isn't it? After all, the people in your training center know what is in different training rooms better than we do, and they also know where the circuits in this place are. How could we, a group of outsiders who have just arrived for a few hours, know these things?"
Gu Yicheng's suspicion is not without basis. Besides the people on their side, the only people in the cultivation center who know the specific transaction time between the army and the cultivation base are the people on their side. It is not ruled out that someone took advantage of the situation and joined forces with people outside to do this. Their main purpose should be the plants in the cultivation center, and robbing their supply truck should be just a side job.
Yu Xian was confused because of the shock just now. Now after Gu Yicheng's enlightenment, she realized that she had indeed missed the possibility he mentioned. However, the people in the training center were all old people who had been with her for a long time. She really didn't want to believe that this thing was done by one of her own people.
"Until we have investigated the situation thoroughly, all of you must stay in the training center and no one can leave." Yu Xian also asked the people in their training center to look at each other to see if there were any missing people on their side.
"What right do you have to restrict our actions? Go find whoever stole the things. We didn't take them. If you don't believe me, you can search the rooms one by one." Seeing that they were forcibly detained and not allowed to leave, a person in the small base team was furious.
Yu Xian: "How do I know if there are any space users among you?" For space users, does it matter whether they search the room or not? So before they are cleared of suspicion, these people cannot leave.
Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng, the two space-capable people, looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not come out since they returned to the small western-style building, and they did not bother to steal anything. Naturally, this matter had nothing to do with them, and they were unaware of it. The only thing they could say was that their Dawn Team had done something wrong during the day today.
Although Ruan Ning was unhappy about being treated like this, she was not afraid of being criticized or investigated by others.
The training center has arranged two lounges for these people, and someone will come over later to ask them about what happened tonight.
Ruan Ning sat in her seat, pursed her lips, with a look of frustration. She wanted to take full responsibility for today's misfortune. "Brother, if I had known I would not have agreed to stay in this place." She didn't expect that a simple decision would bring them unnecessary trouble.
What's more, this matter is complicated, and there is a fourth-level psychic involved. I'm afraid it can't be solved in a short time. They may have to stay here for several more days because of this.
Gu Yicheng listened to Ruan Ning's resentful tone, stroked her soft hair, smiled, and comforted her: "Ning Ning, this has nothing to do with you. If the training center doesn't trust us, no matter where we stay tonight, they can still suspect us. Maybe if we live outside, they will only think that we have a greater chance of committing the crime."
While they were waiting in the lounge, a little girl gently pushed open the door of the lounge, but she was hesitant and only dared to stand at the door, not daring to take a step inside.
Ruan Ning heard the noise and noticed the person at the door. Seeing Yu Yiyi's uneasy look, he sighed, "Yiyi, it's okay, come in."
"Sister Ningning, I'm sorry. Aunt Yu Xian has a bit of an impatient personality. She was also upset by what happened in the training center today. She didn't mean any harm." Yu Yiyi rubbed the corner of her clothes in her hands, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her. "I came here to apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you don't mind what she said just now."
Ruan Ning was silent for a moment.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't angry at all. After all, how could I not be angry?! No matter who it is, if someone is suspected of stealing something for no reason, they will feel unhappy.
