Chapter 1157: Taking the Two Along

Ning Chen said he hoped Xu Ri and Xu Yue could join their team and travel with them to City F.

"Why?" Xu Ri also knew that City F was the Lucky Ones' Base; what he didn't understand was why Ning Chen would voluntarily take them along.

Xu Ri had also thought about taking his sister to live in City F, but on the way to City F, there was an infected person with extremely powerful abilities.

His ability appeared during that fight with that infected person.

"There's no other reason; you two both have abilities, and joining us is the best choice."

Xu Ri could naturally sense that most of these people had abilities, yet this made him even more confused.

They were all ability users; getting through City A shouldn't be that difficult.

And taking along two people whose abilities were unknown wouldn't they be a burden?

Seeing Xu Ri's face full of inner conflict, Ning Chen could roughly guess what he was thinking.

"I'm not taking along idle people; I have a car, and my car is very good, while your abilities are useful to me; let's cooperate."

Ning Chen's words were scattered here and there, but Xu Ri somehow understood them perfectly; yes, it was strangely so.

Xu Ri stared straight at Ning Chen, wanting to see something in his eyes.

But there was nothing, only endless indifference.

Actually, when Xu Ri heard Ning Chen say he had a car, he was already very tempted.

The biggest reason they currently couldn't get out was that they couldn't find a car they could drive.

"Oh, just come with us; our Brother Ning won't always be this kind-hearted. Before, someone asked Brother Ning to take them along, and Brother Ning refused without even thinking."

Although he didn't know what Ning Chen intended to do, Lin Yi knew that everything Ning Chen did had a reason and a purpose; since that was the case, they naturally had to help Ning Chen achieve his goal.

Xu Yue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, tugged at Xu Ri's clothes; there was a faint longing in her eyes.

For so long, it had been just her and her brother together; they hadn't seen any other humans for a very long time.

Moreover, being confined to such a small place every day without being able to go out had made Xu Yue extremely anxious at one point.

Xu Ri raised his hand, stroked his sister's head, and conflict appeared in his eyes.

Their food could still last two years, but what about after two years? What should they do? They had already scavenged all the food available in City A.

Besides, he could see his own sister's daily exhaustion and dejection.

Lin Yi also understood that between these two, Xu Ri would likely listen to his sister.

"Little Sister Yue, let me tell you, our car isn't an ordinary car; it's a very large RV. You can even take a shower freely on it, and we also have a girl, probably a bit older than you; you two will surely have things to talk about."

Hearing this, Xu Ri also knew they had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, I agree, but we still need to pack some things."

Ning Chen nodded: "Of course; we'll wait for you outside."

After speaking, Ning Chen walked out first.

The others also got up and followed Ning Chen.

Once outside, Lin Yi couldn't help asking: "Brother Ning, is there something wrong with those two? Why take them along?"

Lin Yi wouldn't think that Ning Chen was suddenly being kind-hearted; all of Ning Chen's changes were sudden, obviously because he had discovered something.

Ning Chen naturally couldn't reveal the system; after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "The girl has a Space-type ability, and the boy has a Dark-type ability; moreover, his ability has great potential. I have a premonition that he might be able to end the terror of this world."

Hearing Ning Chen say this, Lin Yi nodded; what he said was indeed reasonable.

However, a Space-type ability?!

Lin Yi was already secretly thinking about building a good relationship with that girl so that upon returning, he could ask her to help store various items.

Ning Chen boarded the RV; Gu Yanqi was cooking in the kitchen.

He quietly approached Gu Yanqi from behind and gently embraced her.

Startled, Gu Yanqi suddenly had many water droplets appear around her; each droplet turned into an ice shard shaped like a cone, aiming to attack Ning Chen.

With a single wave of his hand, Ning Chen turned all the surrounding ice into water vapor, which dissipated into the air.

The entire process took no more than one second.

"Did I make Yanqi angry? Yanqi actually wants to attack me." Ning Chen's voice remained steady, yet there was somehow a tone of grievance within it.

Hearing Ning Chen's voice, Gu Yanqi paused for a moment, then put down the spoon in her hand, turned around, and embraced Ning Chen; lifting her head, Gu Yanqi collided with eyes full of grievance, and she hurriedly explained.

"No, no, I wasn't angry; just now, just now I didn't have time to react; it wasn't intentional."

Ning Chen naturally held no grudge against Gu Yanqi, and her having vigilance was a good thing; however, as the inwardly scheming Ning Chen, he naturally couldn't let Gu Yanqi off so easily.

"But my heart is hurt; what should be done about this?"

Speaking thus, Ning Chen, like a grievance-stricken big dog, lowered his head and rubbed against Gu Yanqi's shoulder.

A person who was usually cold and aloof suddenly becoming so grievance-stricken made Gu Yanqi suddenly feel extremely guilty; she was sinful, she deserved to die; how could she make Brother Ning so grievance-stricken, aaaaaah!

After internally condemning herself, Gu Yanqi said dryly: "Then, then what should be done?"

"Yanqi, shouldn't you be the one actively compensating me?"

Gu Yanqi looked at the face so close to hers; her heart skipped a beat; she swallowed, and her face turned red involuntarily.

What should be done? How could Brother Ning be so handsome? The skin on this face is too good; how does he maintain it?

Seeing Gu Yanqi lost in thought, Ning Chen applied a bit more strength to the arm holding her.

Although that wasn't his original intention, but... Ning Chen indicated he was truly very happy.

Ning Chen, who wanted to be intimate with his wife for a while longer, was interrupted by the sound of Lin Yi boarding the vehicle.

"Brother Ning! Where will they stay later?"

Ning Chen let go of Gu Yanqi and looked outside.

The words Lin Yi was about to say next came to an abrupt halt; he was done for; had he interrupted Brother Ning's romance?

And Gu Yanqi's attention was drawn by Lin Yi's words: "Them?"

"Mm, found two people; their abilities are both useful, so I took them along." Ning Chen explained indifferently, making it seem as if those two people were utterly insignificant.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi on the side completed the information on the two: "Miss Yanqi, those two are a brother and sister; that Miss looks a bit younger than you."
