Gu Li, who had made up her mind to take responsibility for Vivian last night, woke up to find He Shiyi's face still cold even as he slept.
He seemed to be fast asleep, his black hair falling across his thin eyelids, a stark contrast between his pale face and jet-black hair.
She swallowed hard, then cautiously moved to the side, her mind still hazy from the hangover.
Why is Vivian, who was sweet and soft before falling asleep, turning into He Shiyi after waking up?
The moment Gu Li stepped onto the ground, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief and ran outside.
The moment the door opened, a group of people stumbled and fell inside.
"Hey, hey, don't push me!"
"Stand still, are you sure you can handle this?!"
Gu Li glanced at the gossipy faces of the crowd and couldn't help but feel a tickle in her teeth. At the same time, the gazes falling on her from behind felt almost tangible, causing her to gradually stiffen.
"What...are you doing?"
Vivian and Cecil, who had risen from the very top of the crowd, gave Gu Li a fawning smile as if nothing had happened.
"We came to call you for breakfast, and also to ask if Boss He wants to eat."
Lancer rubbed his head, which had been stepped on in the chaos, and stood up. He coughed lightly and walked out, saying, "I suddenly remembered something. See you later, little sister."
Levi avoided Gu Li's gaze and stood behind Vivian, pretending he didn't exist.
Lan Meng, who was at the bottom, straightened up with a dark face and looked at Gu Li: "Eric asked me to ask you if you've been taking on any missions lately."
Gu Li looked at him with immediate emotion, her gaze fixed on him from behind.
Finally, someone reliable has appeared!
She immediately and firmly said, "I'll do it! What task? I've rested for a month, it's time to get back to work. I'll go now!"
After hearing this, Lan Meng glanced sympathetically at Gu Li, who wished she could disappear on the spot, and looked behind her.
"Boss He, Eric will come along too."
He ignored Gu Li's sudden condemnation and turned to leave decisively, leaving everyone behind.
Gu Li followed the silent He Shiyi into Eric's office, her steps unsteady. The gaze of the man sitting behind the desk made her toes clench on the ground for no apparent reason.
Eric glanced at He Shiyi before finally settling on Gu Li, whose face was tense, and pulled a document from the table to hand it to him.
"This is the mission information. Normally, two top combatants shouldn't be sent out for a mission at the same time, but this situation is special, so it's best to set off as soon as possible."
Gu Li took the documents and glanced at them: "Federal University is in trouble again?!"
Eric leaned against the window and poured them a cup of tea.
"According to the investigation, the students sent by the Federal University for training were all top students on campus. After losing contact on the edge of District 11, the rescue teams sent out one after another all disappeared without a trace."
"The mission will only be assigned to us from the safe zone."
Eric continued, "Although it looks a bit bad, the team members' vital signs can still be detected in the safe zone."
Gu Lisu's expression turned serious. He quickly read through the mission details and nodded, "I understand. We can set off now."
Eric raised a glass to the two men: "Be careful."
This temporary mission was assigned to Gu Li and He Shiyi, so other logistics personnel were relieved of their duties. The two boarded the prepared spaceship, and He Shiyi naturally sat in the cockpit.
Gu Li glanced at it suspiciously, but still sat down in the back row.
They chose to take the jump tunnel and arrived in District 11 only three hours later, as darkness was gradually falling.
Gu Li tapped his wrist, unfolded the map, and glanced at the location where everyone had disappeared.
"We should be there soon, right?"
Looking down at the increasingly desolate landscape, she subconsciously yawned, and for some reason, she felt sleepy.
He Shiyi, who was piloting the spaceship, did not answer. In fact, he seemed to have not spoken a word since he woke up in the morning.
Gu Li looked over, half-asleep. Why?
Is she shy too?
The moment she looked over, her head buzzed. The cockpit was empty. He Shiyi, who was piloting the spaceship, had disappeared without her noticing!
The drowsiness suddenly surged even more fiercely, overwhelming her reason. Gu Li's eyes seemed to be glued shut with superglue, and she could no longer open them.
Her last thought was, wouldn't it be too shameful if she died in a spaceship crash?

In the dimly lit room, the person lying on the bed suddenly sat up, panting. His blank gaze swept around before finally settling on the still-lit computer screen.
Gu Li subconsciously let out a breath.
It was all a dream.
It's so tragic to die suddenly and silently alone in your house after playing games all night.
Gu Liji pulled his slippers to the computer, turned off the horror game he had finished last night, opened the curtains, and stared blankly at the lively scene outside for a while.
I don't know why, but I always feel like it's been a long time since I last saw it.
Gu Li, who usually stays at home all year round, looked at the scene outside and suddenly felt an urge to go out and see it. She grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt from her closet, put them on, and went outside.
The pale skin, which had never seen the sun for years, stepped into the sunlight and let out a joyful breath.
Gu Li was carrying a huge pile of fried skewers, grilled sausages, jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), and barbecue. Just smelling the aroma made her incredibly hungry, as if she hadn't eaten them in ages.
She sat in the park, happily munching on a jianbing (Chinese crepe), and casually turned on her vibrating phone.
"Hello."
A noisy, but unintelligible sound came from the other side.
