The night was as dark as ink, and this desolate place looked a little eerie at first.

A cool breeze blew by, Ruan Ning crossed his hands and rubbed his arms together, then quickly added a few more firewood to the fire next to him.

Several men were setting up tents nearby, and Ruan Ning had nothing else to do, so he sat by the fire and boiled hot water for everyone.

The weather has been cooling down drastically recently, especially at night. She looked at the thermometer and it showed that the temperature in City B was only in the single digits. If it continued to drop like this, it might soon drop below zero.

I don’t know if it will snow.

Ruan Ning then realized that his ability to resist cold had improved a lot in the end times. In such cold weather, he only needed to wear a thicker coat.

In the past, she would have to at least put on an extra sweater before going out, otherwise she would have been shivering with cold.

But the wind tonight was so cold and chilly, especially on her back. I don't know if it was the psychological effect of the surrounding environment.

They have to get up early tomorrow to go to B University. Except for the people who are on guard tonight, everyone else went to bed early after preparing things for tomorrow to get enough rest, because there is a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

The university campus is too dangerous, especially at night, so they'd better find Jiang Jingyang before dark and evacuate from there. Don't stay there overnight.

Because she was the only girl among the twelve people in the team, Ruan Ning slept alone in a tent.

Perhaps thinking about facing hundreds or even thousands of zombies, Ruan Ning woke up from his sleep at four o'clock in the morning, and could not fall asleep again.

I thought since I was awake now, I might as well go outside and get some fresh air.

Ruan Ning unzipped the tent, put on his coat and walked out.

It was still dark outside.

The buildings to be constructed were surrounded by fences, and they had pulled open the fences when they came last night. As for the zombies inside, they had been trapped here since the apocalypse and were generally not very strong, so they were quickly dealt with by the few of them.

The tent was set up inside the construction site, and the three cars that drove by stopped next to the tent.

The night watch is a three-hour shift.

Ruan Ning thought about it carefully and realized that the man on night watch at this time should be the male protagonist Gu Yicheng. He was the only one in the car.

However, considering the male protagonist's ability, it is completely sufficient for him to keep watch here alone.

"Brother." After Ruan Ning approached, she curved her eyebrows, revealed a smile, and called softly.

When Gu Yicheng heard footsteps, he looked towards the tent. Seeing Ruan Ning, his sharp and deep eyes softened a little, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. His deep and magnetic voice gave people a sense of security in the quiet and dim environment. "Why did you wake up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"…I can't sleep." She told the truth.

The temperature was very low in the early morning. Gu Yicheng saw her coming out of the tent wearing only a coat. He stood up and walked over to open the car door for her and let her get in and sit.

"Why can't you sleep? Are you worried about going to B University today?" Gu Yichen's tone was filled with concern, just like a good brother.

"A little bit. I don't know if we can find someone in B University smoothly today." Ruan Ning pursed her lips and spoke softly.

She was really a little worried. She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried about her safety when walking around a place with so many zombies. But she felt a little relieved when she thought about Gu Yicheng being by her side. As long as she stayed close to him today, nothing should happen, right? After all, she still had the ability to save her life.

Gu Yicheng looked at Ruan Ning's slender white neck when she lowered her head, and took off his coat casually and naturally, draped it over her shoulders, and said gently: "The weather is getting colder and colder now, remember to wear more clothes in the morning. Although people with special abilities have better physical fitness than ordinary people, they can also get sick."

After Gu Yicheng took off his coat, he was only wearing a simple black shirt on his upper body. It was very thin and the hem of the shirt was tucked into his trousers, revealing his lean waist and strong muscles.

People with higher levels of supernatural powers are more adaptable to changes in the environment, which means that Gu Yicheng is less afraid of the cold than the others. In temperatures close to zero, there is not much difference between wearing one layer of clothing and two layers of clothing for him.

There was only one small light on in the car, which was turned on after she got in. In the dim light, Ruan Ning looked at the man who leaned over to put on her coat. He had handsome and gentle eyebrows, and a pair of dark eyes under his fringe of hair. He was concentrating on the matter at the moment. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he raised his eyelids, and a hint of a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Ruan Ning was suddenly distracted for a moment.

The perverse and arrogant boy in the original owner's memory who bullied her because he mistakenly thought she was his father's illegitimate daughter was Ruan Ning's first impression of Gu Yicheng when she first traveled here. However, she knew that he was already a long time ago.

When they first met formally in the apartment building, although Gu Yicheng had lost the sharp edges in his memory and hid his hostility well in his eyes, he looked a lot gentler after his rebirth, but he seemed more dangerous and more unpredictable.

Ruan Ning remembered that when he looked at her, his attitude seemed gentle, but there was more indifference and indifference in his eyes. Ruan Ning was terrified even to hug the thigh. At that time, in order to survive well in the end times, she was literally cuddling the male protagonist with her life.

She never thought that one day, she would be able to sit with the male protagonist in a peaceful state of mind like now, and he would care about her health.

Ruan Ning found that after the initial stage, Gu Yicheng treated her very well. Regardless of whether he treated her like his own sister from the bottom of his heart, just from their daily interactions over the past few days, he was really good to her and always took good care of her.

Ruan Ning has been the only child in her family since she was a child. Sometimes, when she saw other children had brothers or sisters at home, she envied them.

Now that I think about it, it wouldn’t be bad to have a brother like Gu Yicheng by my side…right?

Ruan Ning was sitting in the car. She didn't feel cold at all, but she didn't refuse or push away the coat that Gu Yicheng put on her. She looked very obedient and blinked her almond-shaped eyes.

When dealing with this big guy, all you have to do is follow his lead. This is what Ruan Ning has learned over the past month.

However, Gu Yicheng's clothes were several sizes larger than hers. When Ruan Ning put on his coat, she felt like a child wearing adult clothes. She looked even smaller, like a delicate and cute porcelain doll.

The weather in the end times is getting worse and worse, and the road is dusty and the conditions are not good. She has to get up before dawn and often travel in the middle of the night. It stands to reason that with her rough lifestyle now, even if her face is still the same beautiful face as a month ago, and her facial features are still the same, her skin condition will definitely become much worse under such torture.

But surprisingly, she was not affected by the external environment at all, and her skin was still as tender as a peeled egg. Sometimes when Ruan Ning touched her, he was afraid that he would use too much force and leave marks on himself.

This is a damn face.

Every time Ruan Ning looked in the mirror, he felt happy and sighed.

She doesn't look like someone who lives in the end times.

They were all in the same team and lived the same life. But Ruan Ning saw that the other members of the Dawn Team were not like her. Although they had not become unshaven, unkempt, and decadent after the ordeal of the apocalypse, she could clearly see that they had become much rougher in both temperament and appearance.

Among them, the only one who changed less was the male protagonist Gu Yicheng beside her.

But his appearance showed that he was the kind of person that people dared not ignore or provoke. He was not like her, who looked weak and easy to bully. Even if he glared at people, he had no killing power at all.

Ruan Ning didn't go anywhere else after that, and stayed in the car with Gu Yicheng to keep watch all night.

Not long after, the sky outside gradually brightened, and then there was movement in other tents around. The rest of the team got up one after another.

Because time was tight today, the Dawn Team set out from the construction site as soon as the sun rose and after breakfast.

As for the cars and tents parked on the construction site, they were all taken back into the space by Gu Yicheng.

Ruan Ning walked in the middle of the team. They did not enter B University directly from the west gate. Instead, they found a place and chose to climb over the wall to enter.

Their goal this time was clear, and they were mainly looking for the key places that Ruan Ning had memorized on the map yesterday.

After climbing over this wall and walking a few steps, you can quickly reach the back of the B University Sophomore Canteen. If you go directly in from the west gate, you will have to go around a distance and walk for several more minutes to reach the second canteen.

Before the apocalypse, a journey of a few minutes might not be a big deal, but it is different now. In a place full of zombies, no one knows what kind of dangers they will encounter in a few minutes.

Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Their main focus is to find people, not to kill zombies. In order to avoid direct contact with zombies, they decisively abandoned the seemingly easiest option of going through the west gate. They found another way to climb over the wall.

…

The wall of b is a bit high.

It is not an easy task for ordinary people to climb up from here with bare hands.

However, since the team had Lin Yang, an earth-type esper, climbing over the wall was not a difficult task for them. In less than a minute, Lin Yang used his esper to make use of the soil on the ground and built an artificial staircase.

Therefore, they walked from one side of the wall to the other side easily without any effort and without disturbing any zombies.

In fact, if we want to search all these places in the university as soon as possible, it is fastest to act separately. But considering that there are so many zombies in B University, it will be more dangerous to act separately. It is safer to act together.

The person who sold them the map did not lie to them. The other side of the wall was indeed the B University Sophomore Canteen. After walking a few steps, they saw a three-story building paved with red bricks.

There are several trash cans behind the cafeteria.

The garbage inside had been left there for more than a month without anyone cleaning it up, and the smell of decay and stench in the air was a bit unpleasant, but compared to the smell of rotting corpses, this smell was still bearable.

The apocalypse happened at 3:30 in the afternoon, which was just past lunchtime and not yet dinnertime. There should be fewer zombies in the cafeteria than in other places on campus.

In addition to the two main doors for students to enter and exit the Second Canteen, there is also an inconspicuous back door, which is usually used to transport ingredients for cooking and various kitchen waste.

Now this door is ajar.
