After Gu Yicheng and Ruan Ning dealt with the two men, they left the room and saw Xue Chen, Lin Yang and three others who lived on the same floor as them, dragging two people with their mouths stuffed with cloth strips out of the room diagonally opposite them.

Naturally, the two of them came out empty-handed. As for the two men in their room who were injected with muscle relaxants, after being questioned, Gu Yicheng knocked them unconscious and threw them into a corner, leaving them to fend for themselves.

"Master Gu, someone sneaked into our room tonight and found four muscle relaxants on them." Xue Chen said with concern, "How are you and Miss Ruan doing? Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Yicheng: "Two people just broke into our room, but I knocked them out. Now Ningning and I are going upstairs to find the mastermind behind this incident."

Want to find the mastermind?

The other four people looked at each other in bewilderment. Most of the team's supplies were kept here, so they all thought that these two people were just tempted by the money and wanted to steal things. They acted spontaneously. Moreover, these two people said so under their questioning, so they did not doubt it. They did not expect that there were other people behind this secret.

Lin Yang kicked the two people next to him and said in a dangerous tone: "It seems that you two are not honest at all. You still want to deceive us even in this situation." He was almost fooled by them and forgot that there was a mastermind behind them.

They were not without doubts after they recognized the contents of the syringe. After all, muscle relaxants are controlled substances. Although no one will be in charge of these things after the end of the world, places like hospitals with a large number of patients are far more dangerous than other places in a city. With these two people's rubbish skills, how could they possibly take out such a powerful thing?

The two people were tied up tightly with hemp ropes, unable to utter a complete sentence and could only howl, trembling in front of everyone.

"Now I'll give you one more chance. Tell me everything that you haven't explained clearly. Otherwise, you know the consequences. We are not good people..." Lin Yang squatted down, patted the two men on the shoulders, and said with a smile.

…

Ten minutes later.

Because of their resistance, Lin Yang beat them up with bruises on their faces. The two men could not be seen clearly and lay on the ground with tears and snot.

At first, he was stubborn and refused to tell the truth, but after being beaten and scared, he was willing to tell everything.

This time, their explanation became the same as the two people in Ruan Ning's room, saying that it was Sister Sun who instructed them to do this. The purpose was to quietly get rid of all ten of them tonight, and when Chen Ling woke up in the morning, he would see that they were all dead outside the base, and his face would definitely be very ugly.

"Brother Gu, we can't just swallow this! Since someone wants to mess with us, we have to give them a taste of their own medicine and teach them a lesson, so that they know that not everyone can bully us." Lin Yang said viciously while holding a few muscle relaxants that he had searched from the two men. He couldn't swallow this.

Even the good-tempered Dacheng and others had no intention of opposing this plan. They did not want to participate in the power struggle in this base, but that did not mean they were willing to be bullied in vain. If they had not arranged night watchmen in every room today, perhaps all of them would have been caught, and they would have been the ones to die.

However, it is true that only a small number of people in the hotel participated in the plan to take them down, and these people did not lie. Because there were more than just two rooms on this floor occupied by people, but after something like this happened, there was a lot of noise. If everyone knew about it, seeing that they had not succeeded for so long, the entire base would definitely come to surround them, and there would be no need to use such a sinister and vicious method to plot against them in the middle of the night.

Two people were arranged in each of the four rooms to run over in the middle of the night and inject them with strong drugs, which really shows that they think highly of them.

As for Chen Ling, it was thanks to him not knowing the truth, otherwise they would not let him go this time.

After the members of the Dawn Team gathered on the fifth floor, some stayed there to rest, while the others were taken by Gu Yichen to the top floor to meet Sister Sun who wanted to kill them.

The corridor was dark, so in order not to alert anyone, they did not turn on their flashlights and climbed the stairs in the dark.

"Who are you?! Get down quickly! No one else is allowed to come up to the floors above." The person guarding the middle of the corridor on the ninth floor heard faint footsteps coming from downstairs. He quickly turned on the flashlight and went downstairs to check the situation. Then he found several unfamiliar people sneaking up the corridor.

He realized something was wrong and was about to run upstairs to sound the alarm when he was tripped by a vine that popped out from nowhere and fell to the ground, rolling down the stairs.

The others quickly covered his mouth and tied him up. The whole process took less than half a minute.

As for the person who used the wood-related ability just now, it was Xu Chi.

After being bitten by a zombie, Xu Chi did not turn into a zombie, but he also did not awaken his superpowers. Gu Yicheng kept him at that time, saying that he had a way to help him solve this problem.

The conditions were not mature before because they had not encountered zombies of level 3 or above and had not obtained high-level crystal cores. However, after leaving B University, the team suddenly had several level 3 crystal cores. Gu Yicheng kept two for upgrading and gave the other level 3 wood crystal core to Xu Chi. For Ning Ning's sake, he told him the pros and cons and let him decide whether to take the risk to activate his superpowers.

In his previous life, there were only one or two people with characteristics like Xu Chi among every one hundred infected people who survived. If he didn't use the high-level crystal core to activate it, even if he was scratched by a high-level zombie in the future, he wouldn't be infected again, but he would never awaken his superpowers. He would have to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

However, if you choose to use the crystal core to activate your superpowers, the probability is not high, it can even be said to be very low, about the same as the probability of an ordinary person not being infected by zombies.

What Gu Yicheng gave him was the easiest and gentlest wood crystal core among all the supernatural powers, which was considered a possibility with a relatively high probability.

After thinking about it all night, Xu Chi used this supernatural power on the way. He was bleeding and almost died. Fortunately, he not only survived, but also awakened the wood supernatural power, and the level of the supernatural power jumped directly to the second level.

From then on, the team had one more psychic.

After controlling this man, Lin Yang was too lazy to waste time talking to him, so he used the fastest and most effective method, which was to beat him up with his fists, and successfully got the information they wanted to know from him.

However, when being interrogated, the guard was so frightened that he almost fainted.

In fact, Ruan Ning and his group had no interest in killing a guard. Whoever plotted against them would be held responsible.

The decoration on the top floor is better than the floors below. Plus, it should be after the apocalypse that someone still comes to clean it every day, so it looks as if it still remains in the same state as before the apocalypse.

There are two business suites on the top floor. According to these people, the one on the right is Sister Sun's room.

The hotel had good soundproofing, and they didn't think about keeping a low profile, but they also didn't want to cause trouble and let the person run away, so they didn't kick the door directly, but used their supernatural powers to pry open the door lock.

After searching the room, I found no one in it.

"Are those guys lying to us again? There's no one in this room."

There was no one in the huge business suite, but when I opened the closet beside the bed, I saw a lot of clothes inside. They were all women's clothes.

Ruan Ning found that the clothes were the same as the woman's. This meant that the woman had at least lived in this place, but she didn't know where she went tonight.

Ruan Ning frowned and guessed, "Could it be that Sister Sun got the news in advance and ran away?"

"Probably not. Those people who sneaked into our room were controlled by us in the first time. There is no way she would have had time to get the news in advance." Xue Chen analyzed.

Moreover, the base was the territory of these people, so even if the plan was exposed, there was no reason for them to escape from the base. On the contrary, given her personality, if she had really received the news in advance, some of her men would have come to intercept them.

Lin Yang thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there another suite next door? Maybe that person is there."

Everyone thought this possibility made sense and returned to the corridor.

They used the same method to pry open the door of another suite, and after entering, they found that there were far more signs of life here than in the room next to it. This meant that someone must be living here. They split up and searched other places, and finally only the master bedroom at the farthest end was left.

Before he awakened his special powers, Xu Chi always regretted not being able to help the team in any useful way. This time, he wanted to be the pioneer and kicked open the door.

There is indeed someone in this room.

But what they didn't expect was that there were two naked people lying on the big bed in the room. They were startled by the sound of the door being kicked and stood up suddenly. At the same time, there were clothes scattered all over the floor beside the bed, both men's and women's. They didn't know the man among the two, but the woman was the woman who had a quarrel with Chen Ling at the door of the hotel yesterday afternoon.

Ruan Ning didn't know that after the door opened, she would see such an exciting and thrilling scene. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at the two unsightly people on the bed.

And someone turned his head faster than she did. A pair of big hands blocked her way and covered her eyes. She could feel the warm body temperature coming from his palms.

She blinked uncomfortably, and her long eyelashes brushed across her palm, making Gu Yicheng, who was standing next to her, feel as if someone was brushing his heart with a feather.
