Yu Ran's smile faded slightly. She released Lu Ning and said with some disappointment, "So busy? Leaving so soon?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, there's still a lot to do and a lot of problems to solve."
Yu Ran then smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you're such a busy person now. Since you're back, hurry up and go to the activity room. It's rare that there are no unusual situations today. Sister Mu and the others are resting in the activity room."
Lu Ning nodded and followed Yu Ran upstairs.
Yu Ran seemed to be in a good mood; she was even skipping and hopping as she walked.
Then, as if remembering something, she turned to look at Lu Ning and said with a grin, "Oh, right, I have some good news for you after we get into the activity room!"
Lu Ning was a little surprised: "What good news?"
I'll tell you later.
Once upstairs, Yu Ran jogged to the activity room door and shouted, "Look who's here! Ta-da!!"
Lu Ning followed Yu Ran out.
Inside the activity room, Wang Qiwen, Aiha, and Dmitry were still playing games on the sofa in front of the TV.
Qiu Yuelin, Li Mu, Ke Qing, and a few others sat on the side reading books, drinking tea, and playing on their phones.
There were a few more people in the activity room than when Lu Ning left, and Lu Ning saw several unfamiliar faces.
Upon hearing Yu Ran's voice, everyone turned to look.
Upon seeing Lu Ning, Li Mu and the others widened their eyes and showed expressions of surprise and delight.
"Holy crap? Lu Ning? You're back?" Wang Qiwen smiled with surprise.
Li Mu and the others also came over.
Li Mu laughed and said, "Is the exploration of the mist over so quickly?"
Lu Ning shook his head and recounted what he had told Yu Ran earlier.
Everyone looked disappointed.
"I knew it was fast!" Ke Qing said suddenly.
Yu Ran laughed and said, "Sister Mu Mu, Sister Mu Mu! Quickly tell Lu Ning the good news!"
Li Mu and the others looked a little strange.
Lu Ning asked curiously, "What good news is it?"
Li Mu said helplessly, "Xiao Ran has awakened. It's probably because of the previous dream plague, plus the recent increase in mental pollution. Xiao Ran just awakened a couple of days ago. It's a mental power, dream manipulation."
Lu Ning glanced at Yu Ran with some surprise.
He suddenly remembered that when they were in the dream dimension, Yu Ran's parents were dream eaters. Perhaps they saw that Yu Ran had this talent, which is why they stayed by Yu Ran's side in the dream dimension.
However, in Lu Ning's view, it's hard to say whether awakening is good or bad.
After all, awakened individuals face far greater spiritual pollution and encounter far more dangers than ordinary people.
Of course, given the current situation, disease outbreaks could occur in the base city at any time.
Perhaps it will be safer after awakening.
Seeing Yu Ran so happy, Lu Ning also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Ran."
Yu Ran put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "Lu Ning, maybe I'm a once-in-a-million genius, and I might even catch up with you!"
Qiu Yuelin couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Xiaoran, stop dreaming. You can't even learn the mental tempering method right away, how can you catch up with Brother Lu Ning?"
Yu Ran blushed, and then said something like, "Awakened ones aren't just about seizing every minute," and "Does not mastering the Spirit Tempering Method mean you can't be a genius?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The group chatted for a while about the recent situation, and just as Lu Ning had guessed, there were more and more cases of disease.
Lin Wuyue left a few days ago.
She is Anlocks' disciple, who inherited Anlocks' mantle. She has gone to the headquarters to improve her strength and needs to reach the Saint level as soon as possible.
Only in this way can she keep an eye on the dream dimension to prevent any accidents from happening there.
Afterwards, Lu Ning went to the basement to visit Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was lying in a rocking chair looking at a swimsuit magazine, while a few newcomers were exercising in the empty room.
He was a little surprised that Lu Ning would come back: "You've emerged from the fog, haven't you?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Yeah, I'll stay here for a day or two, then I'll have to leave again."
Qin Feng nodded, then sighed, "Only a few years have passed, and you've become so strong. Now you're even following a great figure like a Saint to explore the truth of the Mysterious Mist. If Lin Xiao and Colin were still alive, they'd probably find it hard to believe, right?"
Qin Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "As I get older, I find myself reminiscing more and more about the past."
Lu Ning calmly said, "Captain Lin Xiao may not believe it, but Captain Colin shouldn't be surprised."
After all, Lu Ning was already very strong before Colin died.
Qin Feng nodded with a sigh: "You're not wrong... Sigh, more and more people are dying now. I'm just lucky to have survived until now."
Lu Ning said, "Luck is also a part of strength. Sometimes, luck is even more important than strength. Many people who are stronger have died."
Putting everything else aside, even Anlocks, a saint, is dead.
Qin Feng chuckled as he listened: "Whether it's luck or strength, nothing beats 'immortality.' You're so comfortable, kid, because you're never going to die no matter what."
Lu Ning nodded silently: "You're right."
Qin Feng: "..."
He rolled his eyes: "Aren't you going to be a little modest?"
Lu Ning looked at Qin Feng with confusion: "But what you said is true."
Having experienced so much, Lu Ning naturally understood just how capable he was.
To be honest, if he didn't have the ability to be immortal, his body would probably have rotted away by now.
Lu Ning stayed at the branch for two days.
Two days later, Lu Ning left with Ya En and the others, heading to Base City No. 1.
