Ruan Ning couldn't stand it when she thought about how this man had been nagging in her ear.
Ruan Ning had many suitors when he was in school, but none of them were as passionate as him. In addition, it was the end of the world and people would use knives, guns and supernatural powers at will, so it felt more difficult to deal with than before.
Sometimes Ruan Ning really hoped that this peacock man could be like the strong man who flirted with her in the No. 3 base in City B. Now you say that except for his excessive enthusiasm that made her feel uncomfortable and a little bored, he did nothing out of the ordinary, neither said anything inappropriate nor did he do anything to her.
Ruan Ning is a person who does not offend others unless they offend me. In this situation, it seems that there is no other solution except to stay away from them.
After getting off the bus, Ruan Ning learned his lesson this time and ignored the man. He quickly moved towards Gu Yicheng, a man with a cold aura, and even walked with the people in the team on purpose.
She thought that since she was already like this, this man probably wouldn't force himself on her and bother her, right? ?
But even if this person didn't give up and followed him over, Ruan Ning would have to pull Gu Yichen beside him to be scolded as well.
Who made him accept this person's invitation to come to this base? !
If they had just left when they were in the mall, she wouldn't have to stay here and be hit on by others.
Fortunately, after Ruan Ning passed by, she found that not only did the big guys around her not take any action towards her approaching, but the peacock was also stopped by a man and a woman who came out of the base and did not come over to bother her anymore.
Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
…
From the outside, this hotel, which was converted into a base, has nine floors. There is a fence made of iron plates near the entrance, and four gatekeepers are standing next to it, each holding a fire axe.
"Why did you come back so late today?" The speaker was the woman among the man and woman who came out of the hotel. Her gorgeous appearance and the tone of her voice gave people a feeling of arrogance and it was not easy to get along with her.
The man next to her was the opposite of her. He was very silent and just stood there without saying a word.
"Sister Sun, all the food in the places near the base has been looted by us and the survivors from other bases. We haven't been able to find much to eat in half a day." Someone in the team replied.
The woman frowned, her tone was not good, and could even be said to be impatient. "Since all the food around has been searched, then go somewhere farther away. Your search team's efficiency is too low. At this rate, the survivors of our entire base will starve to death. How can we feed people with such a small amount of food every day?"
After hearing her words, someone in the team over there felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something to refute her with a hint of anger on his face, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by someone beside him who pulled his sleeve. Meanwhile, no one else spoke.
The people on Ruan Ning's side also noticed this scene and understood what was happening. It seemed that this base was not only small in scale, but also had problems with its management.
They didn't know what the woman's role was in the base, but they could clearly sense that the people they met on the way to collect supplies had long been resentful of her. But for some reason, they dared not speak out against her.
"We have already gone to Yueda Shopping Mall to look for food this time. If you think we are not capable of it, then you will have to find another person to form a team and lead them to look for food in the future." The man who was considered a peacock by Ruan Ning lost his attentiveness and enthusiasm when talking to the woman, and looked much more normal.
Ruan Ning was slightly surprised. She thought this guy was the type who would strike up a conversation with a pretty woman. After all, he had all the necessary qualities for striking up a conversation: thick-skinned and familiar.
"Hmph. The team and number of people going out to search for supplies have been decided long ago. Don't make excuses and drag me into it." The woman calmed down a little when she heard the peacock man ask her to lead the team to search for supplies. However, she was still arrogant and had a bad attitude.
She glanced casually at the crowd standing outside the hotel, and suddenly stopped, seeing the members of the Dawn Team following behind the team. She said unhappily, "Who are these people? I remember they are not from our base."
"They are the team we met when we were collecting supplies in the mall," said the peacock man. "I invited them to visit the base and join us."
The woman seemed to have found something to criticize, and snorted coldly: "Don't bring any random people into the base in the future. Not everyone can join us here."
"I won't bring in just anyone," the peacock man said without hesitation, "Since someone like you can join the base, why can't their team? I think each of them is much stronger than you."
"Chen Ling, what do you mean by that? If you are not satisfied with the leader's decision, you can leave the base now. No one will stop you."
"I don't mean anything else, nor am I dissatisfied with the leader's decision. I am simply dissatisfied with you."
The two of them confronted each other in a lukewarm manner at the door of the hotel, but whether it was the person guarding the door or others, they all had an attitude that they were used to it.
Even though there are only about 200 people in the entire base, where there are people there will be conflicts of interest.
Everyone in the Dawn Team was indifferent to what they said and did not express any opinions.
However, after listening for a while, Ruan Ning became more and more confused about the purpose of the boss Gu who agreed to come here. Although she knew that he would definitely not lead them into a fire pit without everyone knowing, she still had some trust in him.
As long as there is no threat to her personal safety, Ruan Ning has nothing to worry about as long as the peacock man named Chen Ling doesn't bother her.
After about an incense stick of time, the results finally came out.
Chen Ling was even better. In the end, the woman turned around and returned to the hotel angrily, leaving them with her back. As for the man who came out with her, he also left with her.
After the two men left, Chen Ling walked over, his face returning to its previous smiling expression, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, there was a little friction in our base just now."
"By the way, especially Miss Ruan, I hope I didn't scare you just now." Chen Ling said with a worried expression, as if he treated her as a fragile porcelain doll.
In fact, Ruan Ning's appearance is indeed deceptive. She is petite, with delicate features, and looks lovable. Just looking at her makes people want to protect her.
...Here it comes again. Ruan Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. Suddenly, she thought of a good idea. She hid behind Gu Yicheng for a while, secretly tugged at his sleeve, looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, and whispered for help: "Brother."
My well-behaved and sensible sister is in trouble now. How can I, as her brother, just sit there and watch? !
Ruan Ning was tired of love now. She hadn't even spoken to this man for a few words, so why did he get entangled with her? Just like the woman who had just left, if we don't talk about other things, just talking about her appearance, she was also very beautiful, not much inferior to her.
Is it because she looks easy to bully? But she looked pretty much the same before she traveled through time. How come no one has ever fallen in love with her at first sight?
Ruan Ning once again felt the malice of the time traveler. She had known that this overly beautiful face would bring her a lot of trouble in the end times. She had gradually relaxed her vigilance because nothing had happened before. Now it seemed that she was still too naive.
"I think it's getting dark outside. Since your internal friction is over, can you take us in now?" Feeling the girl's actions, Gu Yicheng's brows relaxed, but his voice was no longer as gentle as before, and it seemed a little colder. When he was silent, his aura was impossible to ignore, and when he spoke, people would unconsciously keep their eyes on him.
Chen Ling originally wanted to say a few more words to the sweetheart he fell in love with at first sight, but in the blink of an eye he saw her hand holding the sleeve of the man beside her and heard her say the word "brother".
He was puzzled and stared at the two of them for a few seconds, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Chen Ling took a deep look at Gu Yicheng, who was standing there silently and unfathomably, and said with a fake smile, "Of course you can. Everyone, follow me and I will give you a general introduction to our base."
This hotel was a local four-star hotel before the end of the world. The decoration looks luxurious and there are three elevators installed.
However, there is a power outage now, so the hotel elevator is out of service. The only way to go upstairs is to take the stairs from the emergency passage next to it.
