Chapter 1059 Preparations before departure
The next day I slept until almost 7:30 in the morning. As usual, I did a set of warm-up exercises before starting to prepare breakfast.
Breakfast is also a bit simple. Since I have to start taking action tonight, it is not advisable to eat too much on this day. So I prepared a chapati in the morning, but added eggs, ham slices, meat floss and salad dressing to it, and paired it with a bottle of blueberry yogurt. It is nutritious and delicious but not too filling.
Just as she was checking her equipment for the day again, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
It should be said that the evolved blood vine branch that had always been with her sensed a breath approaching, and subconsciously extended from her wrist to her arm.
Now Gu Tongwan has this branch of the blood vine wrapped around her arm anytime and anywhere. At first glance, the red branch looks more like a beautiful bracelet, and no one can tell that it is actually one of the branches of the blood vine that is parasitic in her body.
After sensing someone approaching, the blood vine branches did not release any threatening signals, but just tried to stick their heads out with a little excitement.
After Gu Tongwan sensed the mood of the blood vine branches, she did not take out her weapon because she could probably guess who the person was.
When I came down from the second floor, I heard some noise at the door. After a few seconds, the noise stopped at the door, and then there was a knock.
"Sister Wanwan, it's me, Yan Fan."
A familiar voice sounded outside the door. Gu Tongwan smiled, thinking that this boy had obviously entered the yard, but he was knocking on the door on the first floor. You know, he had the keys to all the doors except her room.
After opening the door, I saw Yan Fan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. His appearance hadn't changed much compared to the last time we parted, except for the aura on his body. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as supernatural energy. The supernatural energy emanating from his body seemed to have reached a higher level.
If it weren't for this, the branches of the blood vine would not have excitedly started moving up and down on her wrist. This was clearly an interest in a powerful being of the same kind.
I tapped the branches of the Evolved Blood Vine lightly with my fingers, and the little guy finally calmed down.
She no longer needed to hide her secret in front of Yan Fan. At least she would use the blood vine branches more frequently in the future. It would be better to show them to others in advance, which would also serve as a cover for her mysterious space system.
"This is my ability." She did not elaborate on the type of her ability, so people who have seen it can only guess for themselves. Anyway, whether it is plant-based or mutant-based, there are too many unknown series of abilities in this world, and there are even special abilities that are mutations of the original abilities.
Yan Fan, who had seen many people with special abilities at the guard headquarters, quickly accepted this situation. Although he was still curious about the vine-like life form that continued to extend on Sister Wanwan's wrist, Yan Fan's personality was not one to get to the bottom of things, so he just looked at the little guy a few more times out of interest.
"Have you had breakfast?" Gu Tongwan asked with a smile.
The other party was very honest and shook his head directly: "No, I rushed here after finishing morning training."
"Then you can eat this breakfast." Gu Tongwan pointed to one of the breakfasts on the table in the living room, which she had left specially.
Yan Fan was not polite and sat down with confidence. He hadn't eaten the breakfast made by Sister Wanwan for a long time. He had no appetite after training, but when he saw the sandwich, he became hungry and gobbled it up.
In fact, after entering the guard team headquarters for the past few months, I have been immersed in various trainings. I basically eat and drink in the headquarters cafeteria in the morning, but maybe I am used to eating the dishes made by Gu Tongwan, and I always feel that the dishes at the headquarters are worlds apart.
The meat and vegetables look the same, but the taste is very different. For example, a simple dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, the meat in the cafeteria always has an unremovable fishy smell, and the seasoning tastes only salty. Even the rice has no rice fragrance but a damp smell. The chicken, duck, and fish also taste wrong.
In fact, it’s not that the food in the canteen of the Guard Headquarters is bad. It can even be said that the conditions of the canteen here are far better than those of the small restaurants outside. Whether it is the sanitary dining environment or the level of the chef, there is nothing wrong with it. The only shortcoming is probably the ingredients themselves.
If the ingredients are not good, the food produced will naturally not be very delicious. After comparing it with the food I ate at Sister Wanwan's place before, both the meat and vegetables were of high-quality.
Yan Fan chewed the sandwich in his mouth, and the aroma of ham slices and fried eggs immediately filled his entire mouth. The yogurt next to it was full of milk flavor, and the sour and sweet blueberries were mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
However, Yan Fan did not immerse himself in breakfast for long, because another guest had already arrived outside the yard.
Unlike Yan Fan, the sound of his motorcycle was enough to disturb others. The "boom, boom" sound lasted for about two minutes before it completely stopped.
Yu Hang took off his motorcycle helmet and looked outside the yard with some curiosity.
To be honest, if Boss Gu hadn't sent him a photo of the gate yesterday, Yu Hang might not have been able to find the building.
This villa area is separated from the nearby high-end neighborhood by a wall, and in front of the neighborhood is a self-built building like this one.
The styles of these self-built buildings are basically the same, or even very uniform. They are all two-story buildings, and the highest is no more than three stories. They have a small courtyard. The roofs are all yellow, the exterior is painted white, and the walls are made of red bricks. Even the doors of every household are basically painted vermilion.
Yu Hang had just circled around here several times and almost couldn't find it. Fortunately, Boss Gu's wall was quite special, with a high-voltage power grid installed on it.
However, the high-voltage power grid in Boss Gu's yard is installed really high. The outer wall is about two and a half meters high, and the high-voltage power grid is at least one meter high. The total height of the wall is three and a half meters. Unless you can fly, it would be difficult for ordinary people to climb over it, right?
I'd known Boss Gu was powerful, but I hadn't expected a woman to not only settle down at the base, but even open a business and buy a house. Now, even the dungeon has her own guesthouse. Her combat prowess and business acumen have already surpassed most men.
Before Yu Hang could knock on the door, the gate opened. Yu Hang immediately smiled and said, "Boss Gu, your house is quite nice. It's much better than my shabby dormitory building."
"Just hold on for a while longer. After your guild merges with other guilds, you should be able to apply for better dormitories."
I heard that a number of small and medium-sized guilds in the base are currently in the process of applying for mergers. In fact, this means reducing the number of small guilds and merging the currently poorly qualified small guilds into medium-sized guilds, or medium-sized guilds absorbing some small guilds. In this way, there will be more medium and large guilds in the base, which will make it easier for the Hunter Guild Association to manage and optimize the guilds.
The Far-Sail Guild has now decided to absorb three small guilds, and the number of members has expanded from the original forty-odd people to one hundred and two people. This basically meets the minimum requirements for a large guild.
If the higher-ups approve the application of the Far-Flying Guild to upgrade, it means that the Far-Flying Guild will be able to obtain more mission resources in the future and will have the strength to undertake A-level and above missions. The guild will also receive a large amount of support funds from the Hunter Association every year.
Yu Hang has not had many missions recently, because the entire guild is in a rest and recuperation phase before the guild upgrade is approved. In addition, after the zombie virus was brought under control, these hunters can only stay in the dormitory and are bored to death.
He was quite excited when Boss Gu sent him a message last night. Although he didn't specify what the mission was, Yu Hang was obviously impatient to know what the operation was. Although there would be certain risks, risk also meant high rewards. Besides, Yu Hang felt that he had nowhere to use his special abilities since he was upgraded, so maybe this time he could practice his skills a little.
As soon as Yu Hang entered the yard, he was curious about everything and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Boss Gu, your little yard is really nice. If the weather is nice, you can set up a table outside to drink tea. That would be so cozy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hang saw a stone bench and table in the corner of the yard, so he immediately turned around and gave Gu Tongwan a thumbs up, "Boss Gu, you really know how to enjoy life. I've always dreamed of owning a house like this. It's in a good location, the environment is quiet, and the security is good."
"When your guild is upgraded, your salary will also increase. Then you will naturally be able to afford a house like this."
Yu Hang just smiled and didn't continue the conversation. After all, he knew very well the current housing prices in the base.
Buying a house? Among the hundreds of thousands of people in the base, only less than 2% can afford to buy a house, and the majority of the rest will almost have to rent a house for the rest of their lives.
After entering the room and seeing that there was someone inside, Yu Hang was stunned for a moment, then realized that this seemed to be Boss Gu's younger brother. The two had a brief meeting before. The other party slowly raised his head and nodded at him.
If it were anyone else, Yu Hang would probably be annoyed, but at this moment he could feel that the other person's supernatural aura was stronger than his own, and he released his supernatural pressure without any concealment. It could only be said that this person simply didn't bother to hide his strength.
After a brief greeting, the three of them sat down at the table together. Gu Tongwan pushed another sandwich in front of Yu Hang.
Yu Hang was startled. His hands moved faster than his mouth, and he grabbed the sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth. As he ate, he said, "Boss Gu, you don't know how long I've been thinking about this. Ever since we can't eat the lunch boxes you make, every day has been so anxious. Now, nothing tastes good to us guild members."
Yan Fan next to him nodded slightly in agreement. After all, he also had times when he couldn't eat when he was at the guard headquarters.
"After the zombie virus is completely eradicated and martial law is lifted, I will continue to make boxed meals, and maybe even expand into the takeout business."
Hearing her words, Yu Hang responded enthusiastically with anticipation: "Boss Gu, that's great! If the store can support takeout, I will definitely order it every day."
In fact, this was not Gu Tongwan's empty promise to Yu Hang. She had indeed thought that if the lunch box business was good, she could cooperate with the guesthouse restaurant to provide take-out service. At that time, she could directly recruit a few psychics, preferably those with transportation, or speed-type psychics to be responsible for the take-out delivery business. Anyway, there was no need to worry too much about the vegetables, fruits and staple foods in the space at present. As for meat, after special processing and seasoning, the taste should not be too bad.
After Yu Hang had almost finished eating, Gu Tongwan formally began to explain tonight's actions.
Yu Hang looked quite relaxed at first, but later on his brows were furrowed.
Yan Fan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said coldly, "I'm afraid this organization is the same group we encountered at the Wanderer Base Camp. Sister Wanwan, this mission won't be easy. We must be well prepared. If the people you mentioned earlier are here, we'll have another meeting to discuss the plan."
Yu Hang, who had been silent the whole time, also raised his head and said, "I agree with Yan Fan. This matter is of great importance. I need to go back and get something handy."
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, He Hua and Chen Li arrived at the appointment on time.
Tan Xin arrived around four o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Tongwan planned to let everyone have a simple meal in the house, and prepared several hot stir-fried dishes in advance from the space.
Stir-fried pork, stir-fried pumpkin, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, cumin beef, soy sauce chicken, and beer duck are all home-cooked dishes, and the taste is impeccable. They are all packed from the restaurant she used to go to. She took them out in advance and put them in the oven to keep warm, and eat them after a brief meeting with everyone.
However, everyone tacitly agreed not to eat too much of the staple food. After all, it is easy to get dizzy if you eat too much, so everyone basically only ate until they were 70% to 80% full, and planned to enjoy the rest of the meal after the mission was successful.
After they had a full meal, Yan Fan and Yu Hang disappeared. He Hua said that the two of them must have gone to find a place to practice with each other, which was also a warm-up before the mission.
As for He Hua and Chen Li, who also escaped from the Illuminati laboratory, Tan Xin felt that they were of the same kind. Apart from exchanging information about the institute, they did not have any other conversations.
At 8:30 in the evening, everyone was ready. Before leaving, Gu Tongwan specially poured a small cup of tea for everyone.
This is tea brewed with spiritual spring water that was secretly taken out from the space. Not only can it refresh the mind, but it can also make the body more energetic to a certain extent.
But it is impossible to tell them this. I can only say that it is to consume caffeine and keep the brain awake at all times.
When they were about to set off, they heard dogs barking from the second floor, and then everyone saw two gray wolves suddenly jump out.
The unfamiliar posture and fur color made everyone think that the house was attacked by mutant beasts. Even Yan Fan had his ice knife ready. As a result, they saw the two wolves running to Gu Tongwan and rubbing his trouser legs affectionately. They looked so well-behaved.
