After getting on the bus today, Ruan Ning deliberately did not go to his original seat and sat alone in the last row.
She leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while, but because of the boredom in her heart, she couldn't fall asleep completely. In the end, she had to give up the plan of catching up on sleep, and stared out the window with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.
Suddenly, she felt someone sitting in the seat next to her.
Ruan Ning initially thought that Jiang Jingyang had come into their car, so he didn't pay much attention.
Until she heard that person speak: "Ningning, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so listless from this morning till now?"
When Ruan Ning heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment. She had a bad feeling and turned her head to look over. She saw that the person sitting next to her was not Jiang Jingyang as she thought, but the boss Gu, whom she least wanted to see at the moment.
“…”
What was going on? Why didn't Gu Yicheng sit in the front seat with a wide view, but came over to squeeze in with her? ?
After seeing this person sitting next to her, Ruan Ning was so frightened that she became even more alert and could no longer sleep.
Ruan Ning didn't sleep well yesterday, and she felt a little out of shape today. She didn't have the habit of looking in the mirror often, so she didn't know how bad her mental state was right now.
Her palm-sized face was filled with sorrow, her eyes drooped slightly, and she looked listless, like a flower lacking nutrition. Although it did not detract from her beauty and made her look even more lovable, one could still tell at a glance that something was wrong with her.
"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night." Ruan Ning said hesitantly.
Could she say that she didn't dare to face him today and was deliberately avoiding him because she suspected that he was having an affair with her and couldn't sleep all night? !
This is definitely not possible.
Ruan Ning is not stupid. This kind of thing that damages the hero's wise and brave image must be kept secret. No matter whether it is true or not, she is afraid that after she tells it out, she will be thrown out of the car by the person next to her.
"Why didn't you sleep well? Was it too cold in the tent?" Hearing her reply, the smile in Gu Yicheng's eyes disappeared, and he frowned slightly, suspecting that she might have caught a cold, which was why she was so listless. As he spoke, he reached out to touch Ruan Ning's forehead to see if she had any signs of fever.
Although the resistance of people with special abilities is stronger than that of ordinary people, they will still feel very uncomfortable after getting sick. Healing abilities can only treat external injuries and are not suitable for diseases such as colds and fevers.
Ruan Ning noticed the movements of the person next to him. He dared not have any physical contact with him now. He quickly dodged and said in panic, "Brother, I'm fine. I'm not feeling unwell. It's just that what happened on the university campus yesterday was too scary, so I had a nightmare last night and couldn't sleep."
Gu Yicheng paused after hearing that, and stared at the person beside him for a long time with his dark eyes. Ruan Ning probably had something on her mind, and her scalp was tingling when she was looked at by his gaze. She always felt that her little thoughts had been discovered by others, but when she looked closely, she saw that he was no different, his eyes and demeanor were still so calm and composed.
There were no seat belts in the last row of seats, and Ruan Ning was struggling to decide whether to say something to save the silent atmosphere. Not long after the car drove out, it encountered several zombies that suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.
The person driving today was Lin Yang. When he saw the zombie coming, he turned the steering wheel and made a sharp turn.
Due to inertia and the fact that Ruan Ning was not in the right state of mind and was thinking about other things, she did not grab the seat in front of her in time and rushed into the male protagonist's arms.
And because she was afraid of getting hurt, she subconsciously reached out and hugged the person next to her tightly.
After this whole set of movements, it feels like she is actively throwing herself into his arms.
But Ruan Ning can swear to God that this is really just an accident!!
"Did you get hit?" he asked.
"No." Ruan Ning found a back cushion in time, so of course she didn't get hit. Instead, under the force of her rushing forward, Gu Yichen, who was originally sitting steadily in his seat, hit his left shoulder against the car door.
Ruan Ning felt a little pain for him when he heard the sound of the bone hitting the door.
Ruan Ning was so regretful that her intestines turned green. Why didn't she sit in the front and fasten her seat belt instead of going to the last row? She came here and didn't even pay attention to the road conditions. Before the end of the world, the traffic manual required people to wear seat belts for a reason.
They asked you to change seats, not wear your seat belt, and not pay attention. Now the situation has become even more embarrassing.
And it was only her one-sided entanglement, while the male protagonist beside her looked fine. His words, actions and tone towards her were exactly the same as before. It couldn't be that the male protagonist had evil intentions towards her from the beginning, right?
Oh, so isn't this just her own fault? !
It turns out that brain damage is a disease. It needs to be treated.
Just when Ruan Ning was feeling extremely regretful, Lin Yang's voice came from the front row, "Brother Gu, Sister Ruan Ning, we just encountered a problem. A zombie hit the front of the car. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, my brother..." Ruan Ning also returned to his seat, looking at Gu Yichen beside him with concern and self-blame, and his expression became even more listless.
Gu Yicheng sat up, glanced at Ruan Ning, rubbed her hair with his left hand, and said, "Look, I'm fine. Don't think too much."
Ruan Ning was still feeling guilty about what happened just now, so she had no intention of avoiding physical contact. This wasn't the first time he touched her head, so she got used to it. In addition, she was now completely convinced that she was overthinking, so she had no intention of avoiding it.
Gu Yicheng noticed this scene, narrowed his eyes, and there was a dark and unpredictable look in his eyes, but he returned to calm in the blink of an eye.
Half an hour later, they drove to a residential area.
This is a high-end residential area with good surrounding conditions and facilities. Jiang Jingchao and Jiang Jingyang's parents usually live in one of the duplex apartments.
The situation in this high-end residential area is somewhat similar to the one where Ruan Ning lived near the school after traveling through time.
However, the flow of people around this community should be less than that of her community. After all, her community is in the second ring road and close to the city center. At the beginning, there were few zombies only because there were few people in the community. If you stay longer, there will be more zombies.
There is less traffic here, which means there will be fewer zombies, and it is more suitable for survivors to hide at home and wait for rescue.
They drove to the building where Jiang's parents lived. Ruan Ning did not go up with them. It should be said that only Jiang Jingchao and Lin Yang found a few people to go up with them. Even Jiang Jingyang, who was anxious to see his parents, was left in the car by Jiang Jingchao because of his injuries.
An hour later.
Jiang Jingyang led his men down from the upper floor, but there were no strangers around them. There were a few people who went up, and there were a few people who came down.
Jiang Jingchao's face was not very good: "There is no one in the house. I searched the whole building, but I didn't see them. They are not here."
If he couldn't find his parents at home, he would have to go to Base No. 3. If he still couldn't find his parents there, it meant that their hope of finding someone in this apocalypse would be even slimmer, even if they were still alive somewhere in City B.
Jiang Jingyang was frustrated and lost after not finding his parents at home. But he suddenly thought of something and said hastily, "Oh, I remember! I know there's another place where I might be able to find them!"
Then the members of the Dawn Team followed the location he said and came to a secret room escape club only a few hundred meters away from the community.
"It's right here." Jiang Jingyang looked at the escape room club that occupied the first and second floors, a total of two floors, and said, "This was opened by a friend of our parents. It has just been open for less than a month, and you may not even know about it."
"Why are Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang here?" Ruan Ning was really curious, so he asked.
What's so special about this place? Isn't it just an ordinary club? In a general sense, hiding in a supermarket is better than being in this club. Why is Jiang Jingyang so sure that his parents will be here?
Before Jiang Jingyang could say anything, Gu Yicheng explained Ruan Ning's doubts, "Many escape room clubs have two-layer walls, and the doors and windows here are much stronger than those installed in many homes. With the current attack power of most zombies, they should not be able to break in. Some escape room clubs even have basements. If there is enough food in there, it is not a problem to stay here for a month or two."
Jiang Jingyang nodded: "Yes. The owner of this club is also a camping enthusiast. The equipment inside is complete, and various compressed foods are always prepared. So if they are not at home, they are very likely to come here."
