Opened the car door and got out of the car. Ye Ning looked up at the largest hotel in Dragon City. It towered into the clouds and had bright lights. From a distance, it looked full of luxury. "How much does this meal cost?" Ye Ning thought as she walked into the restaurant.

Ye Ning arrived at private room No. 666. When she entered, she saw that Yang Ling was the only one there. Ye Ning wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the words he had already thought about suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know what to say. Yang Ling could also see that this Ye Ning was a coward: "Sit down and order what you want to eat first. I've already ordered some. The other two team members should be here soon."

Ye Ning looked at the sky-high price menu above, and one dish often cost several hundred dollars less. Ye Ning's eyes widened and she took a breath of cold air. She kept flipping through the menu, but not a word was written on the menu.

After a knock on the door, a young man in green clothes opened the door and asked, "Excuse me, are you students from the No. 1 Military High School?"

"Yes, this is the private room. Come on, come on, sit down quickly. There is a menu at Ye Ning's place. You go and order together." Yang Ling stood up and greeted him like a hostess.

This man sat next to Ye Ning and said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Chen. If I guess correctly, you must be Yang Ling." After saying that, Zhou Chen looked at Ye Ning and stared at it for a long time. , Ye Ning didn't know what to say, so she pushed the menu directly to him.

Zhou Chen also realized that he was rude, lowered his head and looked at the menu, and was stunned, with a surprised expression. Ye Ning watched Zhou Chen flipping through the menu with a smile on his face, but he didn't even write a word.

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor, and they stopped at the door of the private room. The door was pushed open by the person with one hand: "Ah, I'm coming too!" This person was wearing white clothes and his hair was a little messy.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the people in other private rooms. Come on, sit down and order." Yang Ling still greeted enthusiastically.

As soon as Ma Jiao sat down, Zhou Chen pushed the menu to him: "Brother Ma Jiao, come and order." Ma Jiao took the menu, showed a surprised expression, and said randomly: "Me! I am short of money."

"Forget it, let me order some." Yang Ling grabbed the menu, drew a few outlines with it, and sent it to the front desk. After coming back, he said: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Ling. I have water attribute powers."

"Ye Ning, fire attribute."

"My name is Zhou Chen, I have wind attribute powers."

"My name is Ma Jiao! I have electrical attributes."

Yang Ling continued: "I heard from my mother that after joining the army, a group of four of us will work together. Why don't we all share our hobbies, dreams, etc., and get to know each other."

"Okay!" Ma Jiao patted the table and said in an excited tone, "Then I will take the lead! My hobby and my dream is to be a hero! Protect friends! Protect teammates! Protect humanity!"

"Be a hero? Why do you have such a dream?" Yang Ling asked doubtfully.

"My parents, they are both heroes! How great it is to sacrifice to protect mankind! I have been inspired to be a hero to protect mankind like my parents since I was a child!" This is a sad thing, but Ma Jiao He spoke proudly with very proud words, his face full of passion.

Obviously, Ma Jiao's ancestors have been soldiers for generations, and his parents have also educated him very well. He can put the interests of mankind first and look down on life and death. Although I don’t know why the words are a bit middle-class.

At this time, the waiter also began to serve dishes of fragrant food one after another. There are shredded chicken and whitebait soup, mandarin duck hotpot, roasted cold turkey, tomato scrambled eggs, etc. The aroma is overflowing.

In this world, creatures mutate into demons, but only some of the creatures mutate, almost all of which are from the western continent. On the eastern continent, the livestock and fish raised in the cities have no effect at all.

Everyone picked up the chopsticks tacitly, tasting the delicious food over and over, while continuing to talk.

"I don't have any lofty dreams. I just want to take it one step at a time, follow my heart, and do what I want to do. I like a quiet and stable life, and I don't like fighting, killing, or war. I just hope that the conflict between humans and monsters can end soon." Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks and spoke in a straightforward manner.

"Ye Ning, what about you? You go ahead and speak first." Yang Ling looked at Ye Ning. Ye Ning was so glaring that she blushed a little. For a moment, her language function shut down again.

"Master, don't be hesitant... don't be so shy." Ma Jiao had his mouth full of food and wanted to urge Ye Ning.

"My dream is to find out the cause of my father's death." Ye Ning said with a little choked up.

"Hiccup~ Speak clearly, speak clearly!" Ma Jiao took a sip of soup, burped, and then urged.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a difficult childbirth. I was the only one who survived, and I grew up with my father. My father was a soldier. He never came back after a mission. Someone came to inform me that my father died. Yeah." Ye Ning's voice became more and more choked, but he never cried.

"That's not right. When my parents died a few years ago, someone came and told me that they died for the country and fought the monsters until the last moment. They also told me that they were killed by Dapeng." Ma Jiao still said A seamless answer.

"I've asked many times, but no one told me. Teacher Li told me that maybe the army could hide it for some reasons, so I could join the army myself to find the answer." Ye Ning stopped choking, but was still slightly confused. sad.

"We are a team now. Don't worry, we will help you find the answer to your question. There is strength in numbers." Yang Ling said in a gentle tone and comforted her gently.

Zhou Chen patted Ye Ning's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, we will always be by your side. We will help you with your problems."

Ma Jiao patted his chest: "Yes, yes! Don't worry, leave it to me. No matter what problem you have in front of me, it won't be a problem!"

"Well, thank you everyone." Ye Ning was filled with joy because he was adopted by Teacher Li because of his father's sacrifice when he was six years old. The classmates around him often ridiculed him for not having parents. After all, children are often outspoken and say whatever comes to mind. This also created Ye Ning's withdrawn and socially fearful character.

From then on, Ye Ning seldom interacted with the classmates around her and kept to herself. But it was precisely because of this that Ye Ning devoted himself to learning superpowers and studied many fancy fire-playing techniques. At the same time, it also shaped Ye Ning's character of being wary of everything around her.

Ye Ning has always had an admiration for Yang Ling, and also has a little trust in Yang Ling. Although the two of them have only known each other for a short time, they definitely trust people they like more than strangers. Although Ma Jiao is carefree, this kind of character can't help but make people feel trustful and safe.

As for Zhou Chen, for some reason, Ye Ning always felt that this Zhou Chen was not that simple. At least when he just talked about his dream, he should have mixed it with lies. Zhou Chen always had a calm tone, without the slightest emotion, like a robot, which made Ye Ning feel uncomfortable. Maybe this was the reason for suspicion.

Yang Ling smiled and said: "My hobby is very simple, which is to eat and eat. As for my dream, I want to eliminate all those monsters and restore peace as soon as possible, and then continue, eat and eat."

"You love eating so much, why aren't you fat?" Undoubtedly, only Ma Jiao with low EQ could ask such a straightforward question. Anyone with a bit of EQ would have asked this question: "Wow, then, may I ask? How do you stay in shape?”

Yang Ling was not angry. He smiled and said, "It would be weird if I could gain weight if I train every day."

The dishes were still being served one after another. As they ate, Zhou Chen and Ye Ning soon felt something was wrong. With so many dishes, they seemed to be AA. The wallets they brought out seemed a little thinner, so they didn't use their brains. Ma Jiao still eats like crazy with peace of mind.

Yang Ling also organized topics while eating. They talked about some interesting things they encountered in their studies, joys in life, and some major events that happened in society recently. Talking and laughing. Ye Ning and Zhou Chen were smiling but their hearts were still bleeding when they looked at the food on the table. Only Yang Ling and Ma Jiao were really chatting happily.

After eating and drinking, and chatting for a while, it was time for everyone to go back to their homes. At this time, someone looked at the meal in front of him carelessly and finally thought of his wallet: "Damn it, Yang Ling, how much does this meal cost? Let's split it equally."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm treating you." Yang Ling still had a bright smile on her face, and she was really having a good time chatting.

"How can this be done? As a hero, how can I let girls do the checkout and payment?" Although Ma Jiao was also distressed, he still spoke "happily", painfully and quickly.

"No, no, no, this is my family's meal. You don't have to pay for it. If you want to eat in the future, you can just come to me."

Yang Ling escorted the three people out of the hotel. Under the protection of the rich woman, the shy wallets of the three people were finally saved. When they parted, Yang Ling asked the three of them what their plans were for the summer vacation. Yang Ling plans to continue helping her parents with some work in the restaurant.

"If nothing else, I should spend more time with my parents and help them take care of the supermarket. In the past four years of compulsory military service, I only have one month of vacation in the summer vacation." Zhou Chen still said in a straightforward manner without emotion.

"I'm relatively bored. I walk around the streets every day and do good deeds when possible." Ma Jiao said, "Oh, by the way, we are in similar situations. How about we form a team and play together during the summer vacation?" "

Although students are on vacation during the summer vacation, Teacher Li does not have to teach, but after all, Teacher Li is also an A-level person who is in the military. Not to mention summer vacation, he basically has no days off throughout the year. Normally, Ye Ning was alone at home and bored, so she agreed to Ma Jiao. Several people dispersed and went home.
