Chen Ling took half an hour to lead the Dawn Team on a quick tour of the hotel.

"What do you think? Are you interested in joining us? The treatment in our base is much better than that in several other bases around us." Chen Ling said.

Gu Yicheng's tall figure blocked his view of the girl, and he said with thin lips, "Don't worry, let's think about it."

"I have prepared rooms for you. You can rest in the base for one night. It won't be too late to report back tomorrow. But personally, I am looking forward to you joining our base as soon as possible." Chen Ling said he was looking forward to everyone in the entire team, but in fact, he was only staring at Ruan Ning.

However, from his angle, he couldn't see the girl's entire figure, as it was blocked by the man next to her, and no one else could see even a little bit.

Seeing this, Chen Ling became more certain of his guess. He was not stupid, nor was he blinded by his emotions. Although the two were said to be siblings, their facial features and the feelings they gave to others did not seem to be the case at all.

As for what the real situation is, he will naturally have plenty of time to find out after these people join the base.

…

At this time, the sky outside had become dark, with only the moonlight hanging high in the sky. In the semi-enclosed space of the hotel, even less light could penetrate.

Because there is no electricity, people's work and rest schedule seems to have returned to ancient times. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There are no entertainment activities. Once it gets dark, it is almost time to go to bed and then get up early in the morning.

The hotel is actually equipped with generators and diesel, but because these supplies are so scarce, only a small number of people in this base can use them occasionally.

It was impossible to give such scarce things to people like the Dawn Team who hadn't even joined the base. It was already an exception to let them stay.

Chen Ling arranged four rooms for them in the hotel and let them use them as they wish.

Fourteen people living in four rooms is indeed not very spacious. However, although there are many rooms in the entire hotel, not all rooms can be occupied. Some rooms can no longer be occupied due to some reasons in the end of the world. In addition, there are already more than 200 people living here, so there are not many empty rooms.

The four rooms assigned to the Dawn Team were not all on the same floor. Two were on the fourth floor, and two were on the fifth floor.

When Ruan Ning was the only girl in the team, she would sleep alone in a tent or bed. Now that Jiang's mother is here, they have been sleeping together for the past few days.

But today's situation is a little different.

There are more than just their team in the hotel now. They are staying in someone else's territory, surrounded by strangers. There are too many unsafe factors.

If Ruan Ning and Jiang's mother lived in the same room, even if someone from the team was always on guard in the next room, it would still not be as safe as staying in the same room, and they would be somewhat less careful. They were also afraid that something might happen to the two of them.

Jiang's mother can live in one room with Jiang Jingchao, Jiang Jingyang and Jiang's father. The abilities of the two brothers Jiang Jingchao and Jiang Jingyang are enough to protect their family and deal with emergencies that may occur at night. It is just right for their family to live in one room.

The remaining eight people were all men, so there was no problem. They were divided into two rooms, four by four, so that everyone could take turns to rest today. Even if there was any danger at night, if someone was on guard, they would be able to detect it immediately.

There was only one little girl, Ruan Ning, who became the most difficult to arrange in the team.

But this is also easy to solve. She and Gu Yicheng can just share a room. Because after all, they are siblings. Even if they are not biological siblings, it is much more natural than living with other people in the team.

Moreover, Gu Yicheng's ability also allows him to take care of Ruan Ning alone, without the need for several people to live together.

Each of Ruan Ning and his friends' rooms was a standard double room in the hotel.

Each room has two beds.

Ruan Ning was very satisfied with this. Fortunately, there was not only one bed in the room, otherwise, we would have to face the choice of only one of the two people sleeping in the bed.

When they rented a room in Area D of Base No. 3, Gu Yicheng gave her his bed and slept on the sofa. Ruan Ning felt a little embarrassed at the time. If she encountered this situation again this time, she would probably have to take the initiative to apply for sleeping on the sofa.

Ruan Ning felt okay with sharing a room with Gu Yicheng tonight. There was nothing particularly uncomfortable about it. After all, the current situation was special and they were in the end of the world. She didn't have to be so particular. It wasn't like they were sleeping in the same bed.

Besides, there is no way anything could happen between her and Gu Yicheng? !

After Ruan Ning mistakenly thought that Gu Yicheng was having an affair with her last time, she now has great confidence in him.

After Ruan Ning washed up in the bathroom and returned to the room, she saw the man who had taken off his coat sitting on the sofa reading a book.

When Ruan Ning saw this scene, she couldn't help but advise: "Brother, reading under candlelight can easily hurt your eyes." When she watched TV dramas in the past, she often saw scenes of ancient women embroidering in front of oil lamps without sleep and forgetting to eat, and finally blinding their eyes.

"Um."

The physical condition of the superpowers has improved, and their eyes are not so fragile that they can be injured easily by reading a book. Gu Yicheng did not refute her, put down the book, stood up and walked over, touching her head, "Be good, go to bed early. We will leave here early tomorrow morning."

There was no light in the room, but they brought flashlights and candles from inside the space themselves.

In the dim candlelight, there was a hint of tenderness between his brows.

Ruan Ning blinked, and the feeling disappeared again.

She heard what he just said and asked, "Brother, why do we have to leave tomorrow morning?" Didn't they just arrive? It seemed that they didn't do anything except touring the base.

"There's nothing to do here anymore." Gu Yicheng said gently.

Ruan Ning was a little confused, but she was a little tired, so she didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "Is that so?" Gu Yicheng's temper has been changeable lately, just like this time when he came to the base, he came and left as he pleased, and sometimes Ruan Ning couldn't figure out whether he was angry or not.

But Ruan Ning was of course happy to be able to leave this place early. Finally, he didn't have to be entangled by others anymore.

Ruan Ning slept on the bed near the wall. Not long after lying down, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, someone came over silently and sat beside her bed.

Gu Yicheng's night vision ability is different from that of ordinary people. Even under the dim candlelight, he can still clearly see her peaceful sleeping face.

A pair of clear eyes covered, eyelashes as long as crow feathers, and those... red lips.

His naked sight was not concealed at all.

Ruan Ning, who was sleeping soundly, did not notice any of this. She was not at all on guard against the other person in the room, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Ningning." His deep voice echoed in the empty room.

No one answered him.

Gu Yicheng stared at the girl on the bed, and suddenly his fingers touched her delicate face. The soft touch, like her, made him want to get closer.

The big hand slowly slid from her cheek to her neck, thin and fragile, as if it would break if bent.

The person next to me was not on guard at all and revealed his weaknesses without reservation.

Just like now, if he wanted to kill her, he wouldn't even need to use his powers. It would only take a few seconds for her life signs to completely disappear.

The night was colder than the day, and as if she felt the heat source next to her, she rubbed her head unconsciously against his palm. Her movements looked very intimate, like a small animal seeking warmth.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Tell me, how can you sleep peacefully like this..." Gu Yichen murmured in a low voice, and suddenly laughed softly with a hint of smile in his eyes.

In the end times, the only person you can trust is yourself.

To entrust one's life to another person and to trust a person unconditionally is a very foolish thing to do in Gu Yicheng's opinion. It is equivalent to completely exposing one's weaknesses to others.

But now, Gu Yicheng really likes the way Ruan Ning looks when she gives all her trust to him.

And I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.

Gu Yicheng has always known that this person is completely different from him.

The living habits of the last few years before his rebirth had already penetrated into his bones, and the habit had become natural. During this journey, even when other members of the team were on guard, Gu Yicheng would not let himself fall asleep completely, and he always remained awake and alert.

Gu Yicheng has had a weak bond with his family since childhood, and can't tell the difference between liking and loving.

But he didn't need to understand.

All Gu Yichen needs to know is that he wants to keep her by his side forever.

And he would always protect her. No matter when, as long as he was there, he would not let anything happen to her.

Gu Yicheng did not stay by Ruan Ning's bed all the time. After he blew out the candles, he slept in another bed in the second half of the night.

It was late at night, the night was as dark as ink, and there was suddenly a noise in the corridor outside the door.

In the darkness, Gu Yicheng's dark eyes suddenly opened.

The first thing he did was to look at the girl lying next to him. She was very peaceful when she slept, and no matter what position she fell asleep in, it remained the same until she woke up.

The noise outside did not wake her up.

After a while, the footsteps gradually approached, and two people stopped at the door of the room they were in.
