The eight of them finally came smoothly from the south gate of B University and rushed to the construction site next to the west gate, where they met up with Xue Chen and the other five.

Because it was late at night, Xue Chen and his team started a fire at the construction site.

Compared to Ruan Ning and his group who strolled around the B University campus, they did not encounter any danger during the entire day at the construction site.

"Okay, everyone is tired after a long day. Have a good rest, and we will leave here tomorrow morning." Gu Yicheng said to everyone.

"In that case, let Dacheng and I take charge of the night duty today. We get plenty of rest during the day anyway." Xue Chen took into consideration that the people who went to the campus to look for someone certainly had not stopped much today, not to mention that some of them were injured and not suitable for night duty, so he took the initiative to speak up.

Gu Yicheng thought about it and did not reject Xue Chen's suggestion. He smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you two to prepare some snacks tonight."

The two brothers Jiang Jingyang and Jiang Jingchao have not seen each other for a long time. Now they can meet again in this doomsday. Both of them are very excited. They chat and reminisce, and also discuss going home to see their parents tomorrow.

As for the rest of the team, they all have their own things to do.

After Ruan Ning finished dinner, he no longer saw Gu Yichen in the open space in front of the tent.

The zombies on the construction site had already been cleared away, and Ruan Ning didn't have to worry about any danger. She strolled slowly along the unfinished buildings on the construction site, wondering in her heart whether she could meet the male protagonist later.

Unexpectedly, she finally saw a tall and familiar figure standing beside an open space at a corner.

——I agree with you.

He stood there alone, his fingertips clearly extinguished, and he didn't put the cigarette in his hand to smoke, but just held it there, letting it burn, while its owner looked into the distance, no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this scene, Ruan Ning hesitated for a while between going over to say hello if he met him or walking away quietly without disturbing him, but finally chose the latter.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was caught by Gu Yicheng who noticed the commotion and turned his head to look over.

"Brother." she shouted.

Since he had been seen, Ruan Ning didn't have to make any choice and could only walk away.

Gu Yicheng looked at the girl walking towards him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he quickly put out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of, threw it on the ground, stepped on it, and raised his thin lips imperceptibly. Even the indifference and coldness in his eyes were reduced a little, and there was a little emotion. He said in a gentle voice: "Ningning, why are you here? Why don't you go to bed early?"

Ruan Ning noticed Gu Yicheng's series of actions to put out the cigarette, and suddenly remembered that on the first day she met this man, in order to show her image as an obedient and sensible good sister, she had mustered up the courage to ask him to smoke less, and even said something about smoking being harmful to health, which is still embarrassing to think about now. In the end, she got a pack of cigarettes from him.

By the way, the pack of cigarettes that she had "confiscated" was still in the pocket of her schoolbag.

Actually, now that I think about it, I was too purposeful at that time. I even played pitiful in front of Gu Yicheng. Fortunately, I didn't make any jokes at that time, and he didn't find out her little thoughts.

For Ruan Ning now, Gu Yicheng is no longer just a so-called golden thigh object in her heart. People are all made of flesh and blood. Everyone can't help but give their feelings to others more or less when they are with them.

The more Gu Yicheng cared for her during these days, the more Ruan Ning felt that her initial prejudice against him was a bit deep.

"Well, I just ate a little too much at dinner, so I came here for a walk to help digest the food. I'll go to bed soon." Ruan Ning smiled, revealing two beautiful and sweet dimples.

Ruan Ning was indeed a little tired today. Her experience on the university campus was thrilling. She also experienced jumping off a building, which was a terrible jump and almost made her disabled.

Speaking of which, Ruan Ning wanted to thank the big man in front of her for saving her again. If he hadn't rushed over and caught her in time, she would have been doomed.

Gu Yicheng stared at Ruan Ning for a while, rubbing his fingertips, and suddenly asked: "Ningning, do you have any plans for the future? When we find Chaozi's family in City B, we will rush to the imperial capital with all our strength. After you arrive at the base there, do you have any ideas and plans?"

Gu Yicheng was now calling Ruan Ning by her nickname, feeling more and more familiar with it, without any sense of incongruity.

Ruan Ning thought about his question carefully after hearing it, and finally said, "After arriving in the imperial capital, I will probably find a place to settle down first, and then go to see Uncle Gu."

When mentioning Gu Yicheng's father's name, Ruan Ning secretly looked up at the person opposite her. Seeing that he did not show any displeasure towards her because of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he came here, he encountered the end of the world. Ruan Ning had already had a big problem surviving, so he had no energy to think about future plans. The only thought in his mind was probably to live well. If he pursued higher goals, it would probably be to create a better living condition for himself in the end of the world, so that he would not be so miserable that he could not even get by, hungry every day, and miserable.

In the last days, for many people, even staying alive has become a luxury, so how can they dare to think about anything else?

Fortunately, although Ruan Ning's current abilities are not very offensive, they are very practical. Healing and space are both necessary abilities in the apocalypse, and both are highly sought after. I think even if she were alone in the apocalypse, she would not be doing too badly.

What's more, she now has supporters. More than one. Then no one will dare to bully her. Maybe she can even walk around the base arrogantly.

Ruan Ning is a person who is easily contented. For example, right now, she is quite satisfied with her current situation. She has things to look forward to and things she wants to do every day.

This is much better than many people who are still struggling in the last days.

The girl's soft and gentle voice seemed somewhat gentle in the inky night.

Ruan Ning became distracted as she spoke, her eyes fixed on the steep slope below her feet, and she did not notice that the man's gaze was always on her. By the time she reacted, a bony hand reached out from the side.

Gu Yicheng's fingertips were a little cold, and when they touched Ruan Ning's cheeks and earlobes, she felt a little itchy. She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by a deep voice.

She stopped dodging.

"Don't move." Gu Yicheng's eyes sank slightly, and in his obsidian-black pupils, only her figure was reflected.

He slowly helped her tuck the loose hair near her ear behind her, revealing a slightly red earlobe. The girl didn't have her ears pierced, so her ears looked small and delicate.

Ruan Ning stared at his actions in a daze, with a hint of confusion in her almond-shaped eyes. She didn't understand what was happening for a while.

"Your hair is messy." There was a faint smile in his eyes, and his tone was the same as usual, with nothing special to see. It seemed that he just helped her to tidy up the hair around her ears.

"Oh." Ruan Ning said slowly, blinking her eyes, her long eyelashes brushing against her face. She felt that the strange and awkward feeling in her heart had not gone away. She reached out to tidy up the loose hair on the other side of her body, trying to cover up the discomfort in her heart.

Maybe she was overthinking it? Otherwise, why did she feel like the male lead was... flirting with her?

No no no!! She must be overthinking. She must be overthinking.

Not to mention that Gu Yicheng is not the kind of person who would actively flirt with others. Ruan Ning had just complained about his lack of romantic interest not long ago.

Besides, they are brother and sister!

What on earth gave her this illusion? !

Ruan Ning felt much better after she had prepared herself mentally. But the illusion just now still made her wonder if it was because she hadn't been in a relationship for too long that she was like this now, thinking that anyone who was nice to her was having some bad feelings towards her.

The next day.

Because the place they were going to today was not far, they were not in a hurry and did not need to set out at dawn.

Jiang Jingchao was studying in the capital, far from home, so Jiang Jingyang stayed in the local area to study. His home was very close to the new campus of B University, and before the end of the world, it only took ten minutes to drive there.

As for now, it won’t take too long to get there.

Because of what happened last night, Ruan Ning couldn't sleep the whole night, and kept thinking about what went wrong on her side that caused her to have this illusion.

Even because she knew she was in the wrong and felt that she had "blasphemed" the male protagonist's image of being calm, self-respecting and aloof from women, when they set off, Ruan Ning did not wait for Yi Cheng to come over as usual, but got on the car first and found a seat to sit down.

On the other hand, after Gu Yicheng finished talking to the people in the other two cars, he found that the girl who he used to see waiting by the side before every departure was nowhere to be seen today.

Seeing this, his dark eyes moved and a hint of smile flashed in his eyes.

…

After leaving the construction site, the zombies didn't decrease, but seemed to increase in number. It wasn't a sudden increase, but it felt like the zombies were deliberately targeting them.

This situation was somewhat similar to the one they encountered the day before yesterday when the rescue team encountered it. It seemed like there was something controlling these zombies. But the mutant zombie that was controlling them could not be found.

Jiang Jingyang's psychic ability was over-consumed yesterday, and it has not recovered completely today. Lin Yang returned to the original detection method, holding a telescope in the car to observe the surroundings, and said: "I found nothing. I think even if there is a psychic zombie, it has been so long, even if it followed us from there, it would have left long ago, otherwise why didn't we have any problems yesterday?"

What Lin Yang said made sense, but the feeling of uneasiness suppressed in one's heart always made people feel uncomfortable.

Ruan Ning originally wanted to catch up on his sleep in the car, but he didn't continue.
