The appearance of the zombie tide has made the people in Hope Base even more panicked.

Previously, only other bases in the surrounding provinces and cities had encountered zombie waves. We are all human beings, and although we feel a sense of urgency in our hearts, it is definitely far less intense than the feeling after experiencing it personally.

In particular, the news that a fifth-level zombie had appeared, which came from nowhere, quickly spread throughout the base, and made the survivors in the base, whose nerves were already sensitive and fragile due to the zombie tide, suddenly break.

Ruan Ning guessed that the so-called fifth-level zombie that was recently spread in the base should be the zombie king in the previous life. If it has really reached the fifth level now, then its evolution speed is much faster than in the previous life. It has advanced to the fifth level in less than a year.

Ruan Ning learned from the novel that the Zombie King's activities have always been in the imperial capital and several surrounding provinces and cities, but it is usually elusive and difficult for humans to see it. Occasionally, survivors or teams have discovered the Zombie King, but it is difficult to escape from its clutches, so its whereabouts have always been a mystery.

In the previous life, the Zombie King's existence was not known to the majority of survivors until he frequently attacked passing psychics in order to break through to the sixth level.

"Yan Yan, do you believe that the Zombie King exists in this world?" When Gu Yicheng asked this question, his expression was gloomy and his emotions were rarely revealed.

Ruan Ning didn't know whether other people believed it or not, but as a time traveler, she believed in the existence of the Zombie King. She also knew that the Zombie King and he were enemies to some extent. She bit her lip and said, "Nothing happens without a fight. Maybe, as the rumors say, there really are fifth-level zombies now..."

"Then you are not afraid?" Gu Yicheng put away the solemn expression on his face and gently touched her head. He knew that many survivors in the base were very cautious about this matter, and some even planned to leave Hope Base and find another place with fewer zombies. Recently, even within their team, many people were discussing this matter.

Ruan Ning stared at the person in front of him, shook his head, and said softly, "I'm not afraid."

As she spoke, she reached out and held his hand, with a warm and brilliant smile on her face, "As long as my brother is here, I will never be afraid."

Gu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled softly, took her slender, snow-white hand tightly, and promised: "Brother will always protect you."

Yes, his little girl doesn't need to be afraid. As long as he is there, he will hold up the sky above her head.

Gu Yichen's lightning ability had already broken through to the fifth level, but it was temporarily stuck at this level. His space ability was even stuck at the fourth level.

In order to break through this bottleneck, Gu Yicheng has been leading his team on missions outside the base more and more often.

As the number of missions increased, the points of the Dawn Team became more and more. Gradually, the team's ranking went from top fifty to top thirty, top twenty, top ten, top five... The Dawn Team has now completely appeared in front of the public, and its reputation in the Hope Base is growing. There are only a few people in the Hope Base who have never heard of their name.

As the team's reputation grew, more and more superpowers wanted to join them. If the team wanted to develop, it would definitely not be enough with the small number of people they had now. Absorbing fresh blood was an inevitable result. However, when recruiting people, their team adhered to the principle of "better to have less than too much". They would rather slowly recruit suitable people in the base than lower their requirements to fill the number.

Therefore, in the past few months, they have only recruited 10 people in total. Compared with other teams with the same top ranking, the Dawn Team has more than a little less number of new members. However, they are not in a hurry about this. These ten people have all kinds of superpowers and superpower levels. They have spent a lot of time and effort. They are not much worse than other teams that recruit several times more people.

At the end of April, the Dawn team took on a mission related to the Zombie King.

This time the mission was important, so the people going there were not only their Dawn Team, but also two other teams from the Hope Base.

Their mission this time is to investigate the whereabouts of the Zombie King.

Speaking of which, there is a team among them that has some connection with their Dawn Squad.

When they were at the Yancheng base, there was an incident where mutant animals infected the survivors. This team was hired by the hotel owner to protect him.

They were originally the most ferocious team in the Salt City Base. The name of the team was Thunder Squad. There were not many people in the team, only six in total, but each of them was very strong. However, in contrast to the strength of the Thunder Squad, they had a particularly bad reputation in the Salt City Base. As long as someone could afford a high enough reward, they would take on any job, whether it was murder, robbery or anything else, so the people in the base respected them and were afraid of them from the bottom of their hearts.

However, at that time, the Dawn Team was in a hurry to leave the base, so they just quickly watched the excitement and left. The two sides never met and had no contact.

Unexpectedly, they have now arrived at the Hope Base.

Ruan Ning will also go with the team on this mission, because in addition to investigating the whereabouts of the Zombie King, the main purpose of this trip is to find a suitable place for Xiaohua to settle down.

Gu Yicheng thought about it for a while, and finally decided to send this mutant plant back to where it stayed in the previous life. The place where it occupied most of the city was in City C in the imperial capital Lin Province. City C was a tourist city before the end of the world. It was because of such a zombie-filled city that the giant flower in the previous life was able to take root there, occupying such a large area, and no one dared to provoke it.

Since this mutant plant was able to survive in such a huge city in its previous life, there must be a reason for it. Instead of trying to find another place that might not be suitable for it, it is better to let it take root and sprout there. Maybe the day when the small flower turns into a giant flower is just around the corner.

Of course, if this little thing doesn't stay in the imperial capital, it won't be easy for Ningning to go see it in the future, and it can no longer be a lightbulb between them. This is what makes Gu Yicheng feel even more satisfied, and he can't wait to send it away.

It just so happened that City C was not far from the location where they would discover the whereabouts of the Zombie King next, so this time they could find a chance to send it there along the way.
