Chapter 161 161
It didn't take long for today's protagonist to appear, and the banquet officially began.
There was a young woman in a red dress standing on the stage. She was very enchanting and had a smile on her face. It could be seen that the head of the Cui family was a beautiful embryo.
Even though Cui Hongzhuang is now the head of the Cui family, in fact, she is only twenty-six years old this year.
She came to the microphone and said, "First of all, I would like to thank everyone present here for taking time out of their busy schedules to come to my birthday party."
"Besides, I have a surprise for everyone."
Cui Hongzhuang gave the person next to her a wink. After that person made some manipulations, a photo appeared on the big screen behind her very soon.
Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng stood under the stage together. She originally just followed everyone's line of sight and looked at the screen curiously. Whoever wanted to take a look, she couldn't take her eyes away.
Because Ruan Ning looked a little familiar in the photo, it was one of the mutant plants she saw at the Chaoyang Base Cultivation Center.
Although there are many new varieties to be exhibited at the breeding center this time, Ruan Ning recognized this one at a glance. Because the fruit produced on this mutant plant is the most special among all plants.
Its fruit can help the crystal nucleus to be better integrated into the body of the power user, even if it is not magical enough to directly upgrade the power, but for the survivors of the apocalypse, this effect is enough to make Everyone's attention is on it.
After all, no power user does not want to become very powerful in the end of the world. However, the further back the power is, the more difficult it is to upgrade. Now many high-level power users in the base are stuck at the third and fourth levels. make life difficult for. In addition, it is not so easy to obtain third-order and fourth-order zombie crystal cores that match their own abilities, so it is even more difficult.
The fifth-order ability user that Ruan Ning knew was currently Gu Yicheng.
In the last life, Gu Yicheng was upgraded to the fifth rank, and it was only about a year after the end of the world broke out. It's almost half a year slower than this life.
Just when Ruan Ning guessed why the Cui family released the photo of this mutant plant in the breeding center.
On the stage, Cui Hongzhuang also deliberately paused for a moment, leaving enough room for everyone to imagine, before continuing to speak, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth, "What you see now is the wood of our Cui family. It is a new variety cultivated by the power user. After eating it, it can help the power user to fuse the crystal nucleus. There is a third-order power user today. After eating the fruit from this plant, only one is used. The third-order crystal nucleus has broken through the power level to the fourth-order."
From the third-order breakthrough to the fourth-order
Sure enough, after she said the role of the fruit, the banquet hall that was still quiet suddenly became lively, and there was a lot of discussion, and everyone changed their minds about this seemingly inconspicuous plant.
what
How could this possibly be cultivated by the Cui family?
Ruan Ning was also shocked, but her shock was different from others.
At that time, in the cultivation room of the cultivation center, Ruan Ning only saw a few of these mutant plants, and the number of each plant was not much.
That day, it was still thanks to Yiyi's blessing that she had the opportunity to taste one. How should put it, it was similar to how she felt when she treated others with crystal cores. The moment she ate it, there was a flow of heat flowing through her body, which made people feel very comfortable and felt warm all over.
Ruan Ning's ability is special, so after eating it, can't feel anything, but if it is really useful, even if the effect is not as obvious as it is said, once such a good thing appears in front of the public,
Ruan Ning looked suspicious, looked at Gu Yicheng beside him, and explained in a low voice, "Brother, I saw this mutant plant in the breeding center that afternoon, it should be one of the new varieties cultivated by the breeding center. That's right. Now I don't know what's going on, it's become something of the Cui family."
The breeding center only released the news of other new varieties, and concealed the news of this mutant plant that can bear fruits with special effects. thought that wanted to enlarge the trick at the end, so knew it worked. There are few people. If Ruan Ning hadn't seen it before, he might have regarded it as belonging to the Cui family, just like the others present.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ruan Ning suddenly had an idea in his heart whether it was the mutant plants that the Cui family stole from the breeding center. But after thinking about it carefully, felt that if a normal person stole something, he wouldn't be so blatant to take it for himself, and they said it was their achievement in public, and they didn't care about the face of Chaoyang Base. Are you really not afraid of the other party's revenge?
After hearing what Ruan Ning told him, Gu Yicheng squinted slightly and was analyzing the last time the theft of the training center had anything to do with the Cui family.
Gu Yicheng had never been to the cultivation room of the cultivation center, so he had never seen the mutant plant they cultivated this time. But like the fruit with this effect, he had never heard of it in his previous life. In other words, this thing is something that only appeared in this life.
Gu Yicheng had already discovered that many things in this life did not follow the trajectory of his previous life.
Is it the butterfly effect again?
The news that Cui Hongzhuang released today really surprised many people present.
Who doesn't want a good thing that can help power users improve power. After a while, Cui Hongzhuang, who came down from the stage, was surrounded by many people who wanted to inquire about the news, and wanted to reach a cooperative relationship with the Cui family before the others and let the Cui family sell this fruit to them. .
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that if this fruit is really as effective as the Cui family said, it will cause a great sensation. Tonight, only they know about it. After tonight, everyone in the base will definitely know the news. It will definitely not be as easy as it is now to find the Cui family again.
Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng naturally didn't join in the fun. On the contrary, Ruan Ning was a little depressed now and didn't want to stay in this banquet hall any longer.
Thinking that the Cui family might rely on this to develop in the future, she is as uncomfortable as eating flies in her mouth now.
Ruan Ning felt that she might be more necessary, and quickly sent someone to Chaoyang Base to inform the people in the training center and let them investigate the Cui family.
If the Cui family did not do the theft of the training center this time, it would be fine. If the Cui family really did something secretly this time, or they also participated in it, she also did something indirectly. Good thing, helped the training center find the thief.
However, Ruan Ning's intuition told her that the theft of the training center must have something to do with the Cui family. The only difference is whether they are the mastermind or an accomplice.
How can there be such a coincidence in this world, the Cui family's wood-type ability users were unknown before, and there was no movement at all, but just after the theft, the same species as them were cultivated here.
Others may not have guessed this, but for them, interests come first, and the most important thing today is to quickly get a share of the pie. As for the rest, it can be discussed later.
The day after returning from the Cui family's birthday party, Ruan Ning was personally delivered to the gate of the Gu family by Gu Yicheng.
Ruan Ning looked at someone who was going back to the Chenxi team, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, and his expression was unhappy. She tugged at his sleeve and asked aggrievedly, "Brother, can I really not go with you on tomorrow's mission?"
Gu Yicheng touched her head and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll come to pick you up and I won't let you stay here for too long."
"Brother, tell me, am I very useless?" As he spoke, Ruan Ning's sadness gradually rose, her eyes were red, tears were swirling inside, and then they flowed down her cheeks and slapped them. Big and small faces were full of frustration.
"Ningning, why don't you cry?" Gu Yicheng suddenly panicked when he saw her like this, and wanted to reach out to help her wipe away her tears.
She stood there crying sad, he was even more uncomfortable than her, her tears seemed to fall on his heart, and his heart was aching.
This is the first time Gu Yicheng has seen Ruan Ning cry so sadly. Her cry was not a desperate cry, she just shed tears without saying a word, but it made people look more uncomfortable and distressed. Gu Yicheng has no experience in coaxing people, so he can only comfortably say "Why do you think, Ningning has always been the most powerful in my heart."
"Then why don't you want to take me with you this time, brother, and you can't wait to send me to Gu's house?" Ruan Ning's voice was a little choked. In fact, she didn't want to cry at all, but as long as she thought that the person in front of her would be in danger in a place she didn't know, but he didn't let herself know anything, she was especially easy to think too much, and then tears in her eyes It fell down uncontrollably, the kind that couldn't be stopped.
In the past, she would definitely not worry about this kind of thing. The Chenxi team went out to the base to do the task. She also did what she wanted the base to do every day. Except for the occasional feeling of missing her, she didn't feel any special worries.
But this time the situation was different. Gu Yicheng refused to tell her a single word about the specific content of this S-level mission, indicating that the level of danger was extraordinary, so how could she not think about it.
Ruan Ning really felt insecure this time. At the same time, I also feel that I am too useless. I am afraid that she will be a hindrance when she goes to such a task. If he really encounters some powerful zombies, he will have to focus on taking care of her.
Seeing her tearful appearance, Gu Yicheng's brows showed a trace of anger and irritability, not towards her, but towards himself. How could he make her cry so sad.
"Ningning, don't cry, I can tell you anything you want to know." At this moment, Gu Yicheng even thought that as long as she could stop crying in front of him, it would be okay for him to tell her about her rebirth. Rebirth is Gu Yicheng's biggest secret, and he never wanted to tell anyone before.
Ruan Ning jumped into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and buried his petite body in his arms. Hearing the strong and powerful heartbeat in my ear, the panic and anxiety in my heart slowly calmed down.
Gu Yicheng patted her thin shoulder lightly, soothing her emotions, and at the same time did not forget to speak to her about the specific content of this S-level mission, "Our mission this time is to go to the Imperial Capital Hospital to get a few copies. file back."
In addition to retrieving the documents, Gu Yicheng also had another purpose: to obtain the nuclei of the mutant zombies in the hospital. This mission just gave him a chance, what's more, in addition to them and the team that came to seek cooperation, Nie Wenxin's team was also on the list of this S-level mission.
Gu Yicheng wanted to have stronger strength, to solve those people in the previous life earlier, and to give the girls around him a stable environment.
This time, chose not to tell Ruan Ning the specific content of the mission, because didn't want her to worry about him. He just wanted her to be happy and carefree every day. But she didn't expect that his actions still made her think too much, and even became so sad.
When Ruan Ning heard that the mission location was the Imperial Capital Hospital, the fingers holding the man's clothes began to clench unconsciously.
For the survivors of the apocalypse, the hospital is a synonym for terror.
People who go to the hospital before the apocalypse have poor immunity than the average person, and are more likely to be infected with zombie viruses.In addition, there are many people in the hospital, so the zombies in the post-apocalyptic places will appear in groups.
What's more, this hospital is still the Imperial City Hospital.
What order of magnitude the zombies inside will be, can't imagine it.,,,,
