"What's wrong?" Seeing that she hadn't recovered for a long time, Gu Chi asked.

"Oh..." Chi Ying shook her head, "It's nothing. Where are we going later? The highest place in front?"

She looked through the glass in front of the car, and the huge hemispherical building in the distance was clearly in front of her eyes, but she didn't feel that she was approaching it after driving for a long time.

"Yes." Lu Yunfei replied.

After entering the headquarters, he was visibly relaxed, holding the steering wheel with one hand, not at all as cautious as usual.

He leaned on the back of the car seat, and said in a comfortable tone: "The ball-like place you saw is the base where we usually come back to live."

"Don't look at it now that it seems to be quite close to it. In fact, there is still a long way to go. The base is much larger than you imagined. All around the base are high-end greenhouses planted with various rare plants."

He remembered something and said excitedly: "Hey, you haven't seen the place where the captain lives, have you?"

Chi Ying shook her head.

Not to mention missing places, since she came here, few people have seen her.

She turned her head to look at Gu Chi, not understanding why Lu Yunfei mentioned his address.

Lu Yunfei exaggerated: "Good guy, that's so high-tech! There is a greenhouse next to the captain's house that grows all kinds of rare and exotic plants. I saw it once before I was kicked out by him. It can only be described as spectacular."

The corners of Gu Chi's lips curled down a little, as if he didn't agree. He explained to Chi Ying: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The place was allocated by the headquarters. I was just awarded as a senior commander at that time, so it was considered a privilege at first."

"At the beginning? Isn't it now?"

"Well. Later, because of Professor Yu's research project, and the most advanced equipment in the greenhouse, which just met his needs, I lent him that place to grow some herbs."

"Oh~"

"However, there are actually some things that I grew myself... I have grown a little bit of all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are hard to see in the last days."

Chi Ying raised her eyes and said "Oh" again.

Is this... showing off?

It took a long time to hear Gu Chi speak again, just when Chi Ying thought the topic was over, he looked out of the car window as if nothing had happened, and suddenly made a sound.

"I remember, there just happened to be a little lemon growing in it."

"... Oh." Chi Ying stared at him in a daze.

What's the meaning? Do you want her to taste it?

"Huh? Captain, what kind of lemon..." Lu Yunfei turned into a curious baby, and turned his head to look at him.

"…nothing."

"Ha! Captain, why don't you hide anything from me! I also want lemons, so make some lemonade. After the end of the world, my vitamins are seriously deficient!"

Gu Chi rolled his eyelids and said coldly, "You heard wrong, there are no lemons."

"Tsk, Captain, you are so narrow-minded...why didn't I find you so stingy before."

Hearing what they were saying, Chi Ying suddenly felt a little awkward.

She cautiously glanced at Gu Chi who was sullenly, and the strange emotion became stronger.

In fact, the original facts are not shady, but when she was asked to say her "last wish" before, she raised her mouth and wanted to eat lemons.

But when Gu Chi lied, it seemed as if he deliberately didn't want others to know about it... She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Realizing that Chi Ying was staring at him, Gu Chi turned his gaze and looked out the window again. He was clearly out of sight, but he felt inexplicably that the sight behind him was still hard to ignore.

He realized what he had just said, pursed his lips, and felt a little blocked in his heart, which was so weird and unpleasant.

Sure enough, he was led astray by this girl, why did he make a mistake? Just a few lemons, what is he lying about...

After getting off the car, there were already more than a dozen people standing at the entrance outside the base, including several wearing lab coats.

The leading man stepped forward first and greeted Gu Chi.

"Commander Gu, welcome back."

Gu Chi nodded.

The man obviously didn't just come to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, he cut to the chase and said, "The leader you reported to the headquarters...have you brought back?"

"Well, it's stored in Mu Yu's space. I put some ice cubes inside to prevent its body from rotting."

He said to Mu Yu, "Mu Yu, take out Zhang Bin's body, and they will take care of it."

The man nodded to the two people wearing lab coats beside him, and they immediately walked towards Mu Yu with their racks up.

"Professor Yu is still in the experiment, but we have notified him of your return."

"No hurry." Gu Chi glanced at Professor Lin, who was being supported by Lin Xun, and motioned to the man, "This is Professor Lin from Experimental Base No. 36. You should have received news about the situation at the base. Please settle him down."

"Naturally, Professor Lin has also made great contributions to our research, and he will definitely not be sloppy." The man said seriously.

He noticed Chi Ying beside Gu Chi, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say anything.

After Professor Lin and Zhang Bin made all the arrangements, Gu Chi raised his foot and was about to bring a group of team members back to the base.

"Captain Gu..." The man next to him spoke again.

Gu Chi tilted his head.

"Commander Ye, you came back two days ago."

"..." Gu Chi raised his eyelids, "So?"

"Cough, don't get me wrong. I just want to say that Team Ye brought a girl back yesterday. The ability seems very special."

Chi Ying followed behind and took two steps up.

Commander Ye? It's the hero...

Gu Chi couldn't see any disturbance on his face, he responded lightly, and went straight up the stairs.

The man's face suddenly became a little annoyed.

He has long heard that the relationship between these two people is average, so why should he talk too much?

However, the girl Ye Wuhan brought back had such special abilities that he couldn't help but mention it.

The other team members have their own residences at the base, and immediately went back to their rooms to take a shower and tidy up as soon as they came back. Even if there is Gu Chi's ice ability outside, which can guarantee basic cleanliness, it is difficult to be refreshed and clean when he is outside for a long time.

Chi Ying didn't have a place to live, so she followed Gu Chi all the way.

"You stay in this room, I'll get the key for you." Gu Chi turned his head and said to Chi Ying who was following behind him.

Chi Ying looked at the number plate marked "Gu Chi" on the door, and was silent for a moment.

Gu Chi continued: "Don't worry, this place was assigned to me by the former headquarters, and it has been empty and useless."

"Oh~"

As if he was afraid that Chi Ying would be uncomfortable, he remained silent for a few seconds, and then explained: "I live next door, and that room is enough for my daily use. I haven't come in here since I put furniture here."

"I originally wanted to apply to the headquarters for a new room for you, but you are not counted as my team member, and you will probably leave in a few days and will not stay for a long time. In addition, it will take some time for the application result to come out..."

Seeing him explain so much, Chi Ying felt a little embarrassed,

"It's okay, I'm just afraid of taking your place."

"The greenhouse shed that Yunfei mentioned is just outside the room."

Hearing this, Chi Ying looked around.

There are painted tiles on all sides, or all kinds of high-tech laboratories along the way... Where can I build a greenhouse?

"It's in the back, outside the base. There are two doors to your room, and you can see the other when you go in. The greenhouse is just outside that door."

"Ah, so!"

Chi Ying was stunned. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help being a little excited. This room is really interesting.

Gu Chi stared at her blushing face from excitement for two seconds, then lowered his eyes after realizing it.

"Ok."

Then, neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

Chi Ying stood and waited for a long while, but did not wait for Gu Chi to speak again. The excitement just now was almost diluted by this atmosphere.

She hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Well, you haven't given me the key yet..."

Gu Chi: "..."

After finding out the key and giving it to Chi Ying, Gu Chi went back to his room.

After closing the door, he took off his coat and lay down on the bed for a few minutes.

A rare comfort.

He rested his arms on his pillow, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest recently? I always feel that my reaction is much slower than usual. The little girl was waiting to ask for the key, but he stood beside him like a log for a long time.

beep!

It was the sound of knocking on the door.

Gu Chi let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and opened the door.

Outside the door, a very old man leaned on a cane and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Professor Yu, why are you here?" Gu Chi smiled and said, "I should see you."

"Hmph, I just finished the experiment, and I heard the students say that you are back, and you came by the way." As he spoke, Professor Yu walked into the room slowly.

"I heard people say that you brought back a girl?"

Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I met on the road before, I plan to find a safe area and put her there."

"So that's the case, I thought..." Professor Yu sighed, "Have you seen the girl Ye Wuhan brought back?"

Gu Chi frowned, this was the second time he had heard this topic since he came back.

He shook his head: "No."

"I didn't find out the specific situation, but I just heard from my students that the girl's ability is very special."

Gu Chi didn't speak. He hadn't had much contact with Ye Wuhan for a long time, and he didn't care what kind of abilities his teammates had.

Suddenly, he thought of Chi Ying.

The girl's ability is quite strange. Although it sounds like a material space that will not be out of stock, he always feels that her ability will develop further.

Professor Yu tapped the floor with the tip of his cane, and stopped talking about that topic.

"Ye Wuhan's ability reached level seven a while ago, do you know about this?"

"...I haven't heard of it. He and I are no longer together."

"He must have known the news of your return by now. I reckon that you will see him before tomorrow."

Gu Chi was a little confused. One of him and Ye Wuhan are in the Zombie Research Institute, and the other is studying human supernatural powers. They live far away, how can they meet?

Seeing what he was thinking, Professor Yu said meaningfully: "His ability has broken through level seven, and you just came back at this moment..."

Gu Chi understood now.

Ye Wuhan has been at loggerheads with him for a long time... He was also a step ahead when he was named a senior commander before, and he was a little earlier in almost every supernatural breakthrough. Now that he broke through level seven, how could he hold back?

He narrowed his eyes, a little annoyed.

Tsk, what a hassle.

The author has something to say:

The first book I wrote before I signed the contract was a purely emotional drama, and looking back on it made my scalp tingle with embarrassment. . .

This chapter has a little emotional drama, and my hands are shaking a little... Will the cuties be embarrassed by watching it?

Embarrassment seems to be useless, and it will be difficult for me to change it for a while!
