"Team Dawn?" The young man holding the information looked up at the eleven people in front of him.
Eleven people, five with special powers.
It seems that this new team is quite strong.
Having been at this post at the base entrance for a long time and having seen many teams, the young man did not show any obvious emotions on his face. After entering the team's name and basic situation into the computer, he asked the members of the Dawn Team to wait for a while, and then handed them eleven badges with the team's name printed on them and magnetic cards recording their contribution points.
The badge was a uniform style across the base, made of bronze, simple and without any patterns, with only the four small words "Dawn Squad" written on it.
The badges worn by this team can also be specially customized at the base, but it requires extra contribution points. For example, the Dragon Tiger Squad, which is currently ranked first in the base, has a badge with a tiger showing its claws. The material is gold, and the names of each member of the team are engraved on it.
Ruan Ning took the badge and looked at it carefully again and again. He felt it was very new and did not think it was shabby at all.
She was the one who came up with the name Dawn Team.
Morning light, the glimmer of the rising sun, symbolizes warmth and light.
Everyone else in the team thought the name Dawn Team was okay, at least it was much better than the weird names some of them had, so they quickly voted unanimously to approve the name.
Ruan Ning didn't think much when he chose this name. He just blurted out the name that came to his mind. Who would have thought that it would be accepted like this?
However, when she saw the team name she chose printed on the badge, she felt a little excited for some reason.
As a time traveler, Ruan Ning always felt that there was a gap between herself and this world. Even though she had experienced so much, she had not encountered anything that made her feel special. But when she received this badge, she felt something in her heart, as if she had shared the glory with the team.
Ruan Ning was very confident in their team. She had no doubt that Team Dawn would become the leading team in China in the future.
And she is one of them.
…
The physical examination of the team members was completed long before the team data was submitted. No one was injured, so they entered the base smoothly.
With the deepening of our understanding of zombies and the data investigation during this period, now injured survivors entering the base only need to stay in the observation room for six hours before being released.
The time it takes for each infected person to mutate varies, but without exception, everyone will begin to show the physiological characteristics of zombies within six hours. In this case, there is no need to lock everyone in the observation room for a whole day every time.
What is even more worth looking forward to is that Base No. 3 is also developing a machine that can detect the zombie virus. Once this machine is successfully developed, the base's future inspection efficiency will be even higher.
Gu Yicheng stopped at the fork in the road and said to the others, "You guys go find a place to settle down first."
"Brother Gu, you're not coming with us." Lin Yang immediately understood what he meant.
Gu Yicheng said, "Ningning and I still have something to do. We will meet up with you in a few days."
Ruan Ning, who was inexplicably dragged along, was confused after hearing this. What? What did she and he have to do? How could she, the person involved, know nothing? ?
She said that when she was in the car just now, everyone had plans except her.
Moreover, on the team-forming form, including her, there should be seven psychics in the team, but the hero only wrote five on it. She thought the hero wanted to hide his incompetence and the strength of the team.
Now it seems that she and he were excluded when filling out the form? ?
What on earth is the male protagonist going to do?
Ruan Ning looked reluctantly at the direction where the rest of the team was leaving. She was not in a good mood. If possible, she would actually like to follow the team.
The thought of being alone with the male lead every day for the next few days made her feel very stressed. And she didn't know why the male lead took her with him, so the pressure suddenly became even greater.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Ruan Ning followed the people around him for about twenty minutes, watching the surrounding environment getting worse and worse, and finally couldn't help but ask.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling and always felt that the place they were going to this time was not a good place.
Ruan Ning looked around. This place should have been an old-fashioned community before the end of the world. The buildings looked very much like the style of the 1990s. However, the people here looked dusty and their expressions were even more solemn than those who left the base to do missions. They walked in a hurry.
The spaces between the buildings were narrow, and the crowds around were very noisy. It felt like we were in a busy downtown before the end of the world.
Ruan Ning couldn't help but think of the first time she went to the S City Safe Zone to look for the male lead. It was also in this environment that she was almost robbed by a passerby. So she quietly moved closer to Gu Yicheng.
Why does the male protagonist always like to go to places like this that seem to have so many troubles?
Should we say that the protagonist's thinking process is different from that of ordinary people like them? No wonder the male protagonist always encounters opportunities, but she never encounters anything.
Gu Yicheng said, "Let's find a place to stay here for the next few days."
Ruan Ning was surprised: "Here?!" You must be sure!
She looked around and found that this place was not much better than the safe zone in City S.
Although there were no robbers on the street for the time being, Ruan Ning accidentally glanced at the corner and saw a woman who was wearing a suspender skirt and revealing clothes in this weather kissing a man in public. The man did not care about other people's feelings at all and directly put his hand into the woman's clothes. His actions became more and more excessive and he was completely forgetting everything.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Ning, who was naive, suddenly had her cheeks red under the mask and quickly looked away.
If that was all, Ruan Ning wouldn't be so resistant. At most, she could just be careful and not look at it. The key point is that everyone else around her looked like they were used to it! This means that this kind of thing is not uncommon in this place, and it even happens frequently... This is too scary.
Ruan Ning has not forgotten the dangers of her eye-catching face. Fortunately, the weather has been cold recently, so she covered herself tightly and wore a mask. Even her own mother might not be able to recognize her if she stood here.
The most important thing is that there is a powerful boss by her side. Who would dare to covet her beauty?
Thinking of this, Ruan Ning felt a little relieved, but the corners of his mouth were still drooping, and he was extremely reluctant to live here.
Why can't the two of them live with the other team members... Even if they have something to do, they don't have to live here, right? Or she can go back and live alone.
Of course, Ruan Ning just thought about the last thought in his mind.
Don't say that the hero only took her to live in a simple house this time. Even if he took her through fire and water, before reaching the imperial capital, she would go no matter what!
Base No. 3 is divided into four areas, ab, c and d. People with special powers live in area a or area b. Area c is mostly inhabited by strong and healthy ordinary people. Although they do not have special powers, they can rely on physical strength or other skills to gain a foothold in the base. Area d is the area with the worst conditions in the entire base.
The healing psychic that Gu Yicheng had seen in his previous life had a hard time in Base No. 3 before he revealed his psychic powers. This person had always lived in the worst conditions in the base, relying on the contribution points given away by the base for free every month and some part-time jobs provided to ordinary people to make a living.
At this time, he probably hasn't discovered the effect of his special ability yet and should still be staying in area D.
"The rental prices are on the screen. Take a look and tell me when you're ready. OK, next one."
The staff at the service center window in Area D had a bad tone and seemed to be indifferent. Their service attitude was not as good as that of the young man who had helped Ruan Ning and his friends with their team formation documents at the entrance of the base.
The survivors in Area D have become accustomed to this kind of differential treatment from the service center.
After all, those who stay in District D are ordinary people, and they are ordinary people with little ability. People with a little ability are unwilling to stay here. Once you have enough contribution points, even if you rent a house in District C, it is better than here.
There are four service centers in total, located in the four areas abcd.
The staff of the service center are naturally ordinary people without special powers. After all, people with special powers are rare. Even those water-based special powers who were not taken seriously before because their special powers seemed useless, the base was reluctant to let them do this kind of work.
The nature of the service center's staff is somewhat similar to that of civil servants before the apocalypse, and most of them are family members of people with special abilities.
The staff at the window where Ruan Ning worked was also related to a superpower user, but he originally wanted to work at the service center in area B, but was eventually assigned to area D. The other person who came in with him replaced him and went to area B because the superpower he relied on had advanced a few days ago.
There are many superpowers in area B, and you can get some crystal cores and other materials as rewards from time to time when you help them. The benefits are incomparable to the remote and poor area of area D. With such a comparison, the staff who originally didn't want to come to area D now hate this place even more.
Ruan Ning, who was ignored by the staff, remained calm and did not argue with this person for such a small matter. Such people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak were everywhere in that era. Instead of getting angry, she might as well think more about where she would live tonight.
The most expensive house here costs 20 contribution points a month, while the cheapest house only costs 2 contribution points.
Since living in this place with the male lead is an unchangeable fact, Ruan Ning must choose the most expensive one! She can't let anyone down, but she can't let herself down.
But just when she was about to open her mouth and prepare to bring it up, she suddenly remembered something that was very important to her at the moment.
She... doesn't seem to contribute anything.
How to rent a house?
"When we entered the store, the staff member told us that each magnetic card has five contribution points at the beginning." Gu Yicheng saw her distress and explained with a smile.
Each person has five contribution points, and she and the male lead only have ten contribution points in total. Ruan Ning glanced at the price on the screen. The house here is rented for at least one month, which means that with all their current contribution points, they can only afford to rent the house with ten contribution points for one month at most. This does not include other expenses.
Ruan Ning: "..." Clearly, there are still all the crystal cores and supplies in the space, so why do I suddenly feel so poor at this moment? !
"We can go to that window first to exchange some contribution points before coming back." Gu Yicheng said.
Ruan Ning thought about it and realized that she had almost forgotten that this service center could exchange materials for contribution points. If all the materials in her and the male protagonist's space were exchanged for contribution points, they would probably have enough to rent out the entire base.
In this case, she should be considered a wealthy woman. If it weren't for the fact that houses could not be bought and sold at the base, she might be able to make a fortune from this.
Ruan Ning followed Gu Yicheng out of the rental window and walked towards the redemption point on the other side of the service center.
But before they reached the exchange point, a muscular man stood in front of Ruan Ning, and scanned her body with his naked eyes, and said jokingly: "Hey, beautiful girl, do you want to follow me? I will provide you with two meals a day and a meal of meat a month."
Ruan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then after she understood what this person meant, she suddenly felt a little disgusted. Did this person mean that he wanted to support her? And only provide her with two meals a day plus a meal of meat? ?
Ruan Ning didn't want to pay any attention to this kind of person, but this strong man was indeed very sturdy. She frowned and quickly hid behind the male protagonist to avoid his disgusting gaze. At the same time, she called him "brother" softly, and her soft voice sounded a little aggrieved.
With this person next to her, let alone one, even if there are eight or ten strong men of your caliber coming at once, they can all knock you down.
What on earth did this guy have to dare to tease her! ! If it wasn't difficult to draw your gun in a big way inside the base, she really wanted to shoot this lustful guy in the lower body.
"Hahaha, beauty, there's no use calling you brother. Your brother must be capable to bring you to Area D. To tell you the truth, my younger brother is a superpower, and he can't beat your brother. But if you follow me, you will be able to eat and drink well in the future." As the strong man said this, he wanted to reach out and grab Ruan Ning's slender and tender white hand that was exposed.
In fact, he noticed it when the two people just entered the service center, especially the woman. Although she was wearing a mask and her appearance could not be seen clearly, her exposed skin was really smooth and delicate. Even if her face was a little ugly, it was worth it to have fun like this.
At first, I saw these two people dressed neatly, and I was a little worried that they were from Districts A and B. It was not until I saw them going to the rental house that I completely dispelled all my concerns. Who from Districts A and B would be willing to live in District D these days?
Before the strong man could feel proud for long, his hand was grabbed by another big hand that appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, and no matter what he did, he couldn't get away. The strong man was about to swing his other hand to attack the pretty boy, but suddenly his left knee hurt, and with a bang, he knelt on one knee on the ground.
Gu Yicheng looked at the man in front of him who wanted to do something to the girl next to him, and he felt angry. His eyes darkened, and there was a piercing coldness hidden under his dark pupils, without a trace of emotion.
He raised the corners of his lips and exerted force with his hands. With a few crackling sounds of broken bones, the 1.80-meter-tall strong man who had been so arrogant just now was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up, and both legs fell to the ground.
"Since you can't control your hands, I'll just destroy them for you."
