Ruan Ning took out the braised dishes and white rice from the space, ate a simple meal, and fell asleep.
It was the fifth day since she left home.
Ruan Ning promised her parents that she would go back in five days. If no clues were found today, this trip would be in vain and 200 contribution points would be wasted.
Without waiting until night, Ruan Ning prepared to leave the dormitory at around six in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, someone knocked on her dormitory door.
Ruan Ning had just cleared the ice in her room, so the temperature was much lower than outside. She waited for a few seconds before shouting, “Who’s outside? What are you doing so early?”
The outsider said, “Brother, you came to the base yesterday, and you must go on a mission with the team today.”
“I’m from Team 99. Our eldest brother saw that you have good qualifications and wanted to take you out with him.”
Ruan Ning pretended to be impatient: “It’s not too early to go out. Wait until I wake up.”
The man outside hesitated for a moment and said, “Okay, Brother, you sleep for another half an hour. I’ll wait outside.”
Ruan Ning had originally planned to go to Area S to take a look today, but she didn’t expect to meet such a persistent person. She was speechless for a moment and decided to just go out.
The ice has been stored in the space, and staying in this room will be in vain.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ruan Ning opened the door vigorously and saw a dark-skinned young man standing at her door.
She pretended to be unhappy: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you standing at someone’s door? Besides, I don’t plan to join Team 99. I already looked at the rankings yesterday.”
“I want to join Team Dragon, which ranks first.”
The young man said politely, “Team Dragon is not recruiting now. Our Team 99 has been actively recruiting new members recently. Now it has emerged as a new force and has strong strength in the base.”
Ruan Ning looked at the young man: “Really? What’s your name?”
The young man said: “My nickname is Diaozi, Brother Li, you can just call me Xiao Diaozi.”
Ruan Ning said: “Then, introduce your team to me.”
Diaozi thought for a while: “Words are not enough, Brother Li, just come downstairs with me. Our team is used to going out early and coming back late. We are gathering now.”
On the way, Diaozi introduced: “Our captain is Zhao Lei, who should be older than you. You can just call him Brother Lei.”
Ruan Ning hummed.
There was only one floor to go down, and Diaozi didn’t say much. Soon, the two of them walked to the door, and sure enough, a team was gathering.
There were about thirty people.
There were so many men crowded together that Ruan Ning couldn’t see anything, but she saw the three big sisters from yesterday also soliciting business at the door, and the woman she brought into the room was flirting with a tall man.
Diaozi said: “That’s our captain, Zhao Lei.”
Zhao Lei should be over 1.8 meters tall, with a beard, and look neither fat nor thin, with a bit of fat on his face.
He looked satisfied when he saw Ruan Ning coming and quickly walked away from the woman, saying loudly, “Li Qi?”
Li Qi is Ruan Ning’s pseudonym.
Ruan Ning called out, “Good morning, Brother Lei.”
Zhao Lei grinned: “Have you considered it? Are you planning to join our Team 99?”
Ruan Ning said: “I have to wait and see. After all, this is a matter of life and death.”
Zhao Lei said straightforwardly: “I understand. Now you can see that our Team 99 is full of young people. There is no old, weak, sick, or disabled person. Moreover, we are a new team. There is no difference between everyone. Except for those who have made special contributions, all other people will share the seized materials equally.”
As he spoke, he suddenly said, “Cheng Yilang, come out and take a look.”
