In early April, the Hope Base in the imperial capital also welcomed the first wave of zombies.

As the first base in China, the strength and foundation of Hope Base should not be underestimated. Because it was discovered in time, just like the last time at the No. 3 base in City B, this wave of zombies led by three fourth-level mutant zombies did not cause much damage to Hope Base.

However, casualties among the base's personnel were inevitable. It was precisely because of this that Ruan Ning, a healing psychic, became very busy during this period. He often did not even have time to eat before being called to treat the wounded. He was very busy.

However, I hope the base is lucky.

After all, the zombies are now much more aggressive, and the Hope Base is only experiencing a zombie wave now because of its good geographical location and the fact that it actively and promptly clears the zombies around the base. In other cities around the Imperial Capital, many bases have even experienced several zombie waves.

Ruan Ning had only stayed in the Hope Base a few days ago. When she heard others talk about a certain base defeating the zombie tide, she didn't think much of it and was just happy for them. It was not until she experienced it herself that she realized that even if humans won in the end, some damage would always exist.

If possible, Ruan Ning hopes that the world will be peaceful and no one will encounter zombies.

…

In this operation against the zombie tide, the army is mainly responsible for protecting the security inside the base.

Although the Gu family, like other forces, has been focusing on self-preservation since the outbreak of the apocalypse, they have never given up on the ordinary people in the base. This can be seen from the fact that the proportion of ordinary people in the army is even greater than that of people with special abilities. Moreover, the industries under the name of the Gu family are more inclined to employ ordinary people, giving them a place to live, so that ordinary people can also support themselves in the apocalypse.

However, the Gu family also knows that too much is as bad as too little. In the end times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and giving blindly will not gain anything. So although the Gu family has sympathy, they have never provided free food and will not let anyone get benefits for no reason. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. In the end, only the survivors themselves have the ability to survive in this cruel world.

Recently, Ruan Ning finishes his workday when it is almost dark.

Unlike her, Gu Yicheng has been quite free these days. Now that the zombie wave has just passed, he hopes that the base is still in the rest stage and the team does not need to go out on missions.

Ruan Ning leaned her head on Gu Yicheng's shoulder, and like every girl in love, she talked to him in a random manner, "Brother, I don't feel like going to the army tomorrow." Although Ruan Ning only needed the crystal core for treatment, theoretically her superpowers would never be exhausted, but her physical strength would be exhausted. Therefore, using superpowers for a long time still made her feel a lot more tired, so she would also feel tired.

"Then don't go." Gu Yicheng said tolerantly, not thinking it was a big deal, as long as she was happy. If she didn't want to go to the army, then she didn't have to go. As for the rest, he could take care of it for her.

When Ruan Ning heard his straightforward reply, she pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'll just go on." In fact, she hadn't intended not to go, she just wanted to complain symbolically. Who would have thought that the man in front of her would be so indulgent to her and wouldn't even try to persuade her.

Gu Yicheng: "Then I'll take you there tomorrow."

Ruan Ning: "..." What should I do if my boyfriend is too used to me? ! Waiting online! It's urgent! !

Ruan Ning felt that it was all thanks to her strong will, otherwise, she would have fallen into such a decadent atmosphere long ago. She was accustomed to the man in front of her and didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to live a life of early retirement.

A month later, Ruan Ning finally received a reply from the training center. Yu Xian was probably afraid that the letter would be intercepted by others, so she simply explained that their current situation was good and told her not to worry, and didn't say much more. However, the letter also vaguely mentioned Xiaohua's name. Outsiders didn't know this name, so even if it was intercepted by others, they wouldn't be able to understand it. Only a few people who knew the situation could understand it.

Speaking of Xiaohua, Ruan Ning had to talk about the last time she gave Xiaohua to Gu Yicheng to raise.

She also went there on that day, and only found out half a month later that Gu Yicheng had actually planted Xiaohua outside the Hope Base!! No wonder he had been looking for various reasons to prevent her from seeing Xiaohua during that time.

Fortunately, Xiaohua not only did not encounter any problems while staying outside the base, but became even stronger. This was something Ruan Ning had not expected, because the last time she saw Xiaohua, it was no bigger than her palm.

Xiao Hua's strength has grown, and Ruan Ning is happy for it from the bottom of her heart. Not because Xiao Hua can now protect her, but because it can survive better in this apocalypse, and is no longer as weak as it was at the beginning, which made her worry every day whether it would live long.

"By the way, brother, can we send Xiaohua out a little later this time?" Ruan Ning asked expectantly with her watery eyes.

"It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, we'll still have to send it away in the end. Didn't we discuss this before?" Gu Yicheng thought of the mutant plant that stood between him and Ning Ning, and a hint of coldness appeared between his brows. Ning Ning had even been in a cold war with him for a whole night because he had thrown it outside the base.

Moreover, this mutated plant was pretending to be weak in front of Ning Ning. It was obvious that in the previous life, this guy was able to fight against zombies in most of the city, but now it pretended to be abused by him, which made Ning Ning feel even more sorry for it.

Gu also admitted that he was possessive of Ning Ning and didn't want anything to distract her, not even a mutant plant.

It was also he who came up with the plan to send Xiaohua away in the name of good.

"Brother, please don't always bully Xiaohua, okay?" Ruan Ning looked at Xiaohua who was trembling under his pressure, curled his lips, and no longer leaned against him. He sat on another sofa, holding the flowerpot on the table.

The little flower is now a whole circle bigger than it was a month ago. Its bud is now fully opened and is as big as a football.

Ruan Ning was completely convinced that Xiaohua would grow into a giant flower. Earlier, when she followed Gu Yicheng to the place where he planted Xiaohua, she saw Xiaohua use its tentacles to trap a passing zombie, and then it dug a crystal core out of its head.

Its growth rate was beyond Ruan Ning's imagination. To be honest, before she arrived at the place, she was still worried that Xiaohua would become depressed because she could not adapt to the environment outside the base and could not swallow the crystal core, or that she would be bullied by other zombies and mutants.

As it turned out, Ruan Ning was overthinking.

Not only did Xiaohua survive outside the base tenaciously, but its growth rate was much faster than if she had been raising it alone with the crystal core.

It seems that Gu Yicheng's approach is correct. Xiaohua is born to grow wild, and if she keeps raising her like she does, it will lose its original great potential.

There were a lot of people coming and going outside the base, so it was not safe to plant the flower there, especially since the flower was becoming more and more conspicuous. If a high-level psychic passing by discovered the flower, the result would be terrible. So Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng discussed it and decided to plant it back in the pot first, and then find a more suitable place for it to take root outside after a while.

However, Ruan Ning felt very reluctant when she thought that she would not be able to stay with Xiaohua in the future.
