The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming frowned and walked out of the tavern.

That guy didn't want to tell him exactly what the secret mission Fu Pingli ordered him to do.However, he did say that he just needs to stay here and send news regularly.

message?What message?Where did you get the news from?

Liao Ruming just felt confused.The image of Fu Pingli seems to have become unfamiliar to him.

As for the reason why he himself appeared on the ground, Liao Ruming also used reasons such as secret missions to fool the past.Of course he didn't have any secret missions, but this supernatural being knew Liao Ruming's important position in Floating Void City, so he was dubious.

Anyway, Liao Ruming doesn't need him to believe him completely, as long as this guy doesn't tip off the news.

It is possible to communicate with the Floating Void City from the ground, but the required method is a little troublesome and consumes a lot of abilities.

Under Liao Ruming's flickering, the supernatural being who was completing Fu Pingli's secret mission also believed that Liao Ruming also had a secret mission.

Liao Ruming bid farewell to this man, and then casually strolled around the human gathering place for a while, but his heart became more and more angry.Finally, he stopped on a block.There were people coming and going around, but no one noticed him.

He is so ordinary that he is like everyone who walks around him.

So he said to 017: "Fu Pingli is really a very strange person."

He sighed sincerely, while 017 also listened silently.

That's not a good review either.Liao Ruming seemed to be really angry.

He hated to hide it, but Fu Pingli placed a supernatural person in this human gathering place - Liao Ruming suspected that there were more than one such supernatural person.Even if he is the city officer of the floating city, it is impossible for him to find out the movements of every resident.

Even if these supernatural beings come to the ground through the airship, and the airship is used once every three months, it is impossible for Liao Ruming to figure out the passengers every time the airship is used. That is the scope of Fu Pingli's work.

So Liao Ruming felt a little baffled.

Why did Fu Pingli hide it from him?Why send these supernatural beings to the ground?

...does that have something to do with his side quest?Is it to monitor the movement of "that place", so these supernatural beings are allowed to stay on the ground?

Liao Ruming thought thoughtfully.

He's starting to hate the world.

He didn't feel this way in the last world, although in the end, he also felt a little bored.After all, it is an era when technology lags behind the universe. As a person from the first universe, Liao Ruming often feels that world is a bit boring.

But this kind of boredom is different from the feeling this world gave him.

Liao Ruming likes peaceful and happy times.But this world is just the opposite. Blood, killing, chaos, and despair are the background colors of this world.

The people he likes are also affected by this world.

... Liao Ruming guessed that the place he was looking for in the side quest might be a secret base.

That may be the response and arrangement Fu Pingli made in advance in order to deal with the possible ultimate crisis.It was a retreat, and a paradise.

That was the Noah's Ark he prepared for himself, for Liao Ruming, for his friends and subordinates.

There should be some supplies there that they can use in a pinch.

Like those doomsday preppers.Fu Pingli is also preparing for the possible and final doomsday.

This world is so chaotic, even in the floating city where Fu Pingli covers the sky with one hand, there are always various undercurrents surging.As a city officer, Liao Ruming knew this very well, and it was precisely because of this that he obediently stayed in the floating city for five years.

On the surface, in the tenth year after the end, order has been re-established in human society.But that's just a false order.

Zombies are still threatening the stability of human society. The contradictions between supernatural beings and ordinary people are intensifying. Living materials, food, and drinking water are disappearing rapidly. With the appearance of zombies, there seems to be a new phenomenon on the planet itself. strange movement...

For example, on the night of September, the weather has turned cold, and there is even a strong wind that makes people behind.

Some people speculate that the climate may also change.Perhaps human beings are about to experience a survival crisis more terrifying than zombies.

They can at least kill zombies.However, who can kill meteorological disasters?

Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli hated this question once, about them...or the future of this world.

end.It happened at the end of this world, making them avoid discussing the topic of the future.But as the city lord and city officer of the floating city, they had to discuss it.

Then Fu Pingli would always show a gloomy and restless expression, as if something frightened and forced him to come.

But he would always cover up this look, and then calmly and arrogantly declared in front of Liao Ruming: "I will take care of everything, Ah Ming, don't worry."

he will solve?Can he solve it?Can his abilities do everything?

Liao Ruming was so suspicious.

Everyone thought that Fu Pingli was the god of this world.God among men.

But in Liao Ruming's view, Fu Pingli is still a human being.Fragile, flesh and blood.

So why is Fu Pingli so confident?

The side mission told Liao Ruming that there was an unknown place on the ground related to Fu Pingli.

...That may be a secret base prepared for their future.

Fu Pingli's indescribable and paranoid desire to protect made him unwilling to let Liao Ruming participate in the preparation of this matter.As Fu Pingli's strength grew, he did not want Liao Ruming to participate in dangerous things.

Fu Pingli hopes that Liao Ruming will always live in a safe and stable environment.

And Liao Ruming knew this very well.

So that's probably a refuge.

That may be a concept slowly formed in Fu Pingli's brain during the construction of the floating city.The floating city is bright, so they still need a refuge that exists in the dark.

There are countless ordinary people living in the floating city, but at critical moments, Fu Pingli must selfishly consider his lover.

So he built another shelter without telling Liao Ruming.A place that probably only Fu Pingli himself, and some superhumans who had to rely on their abilities during the construction process—only these two groups of people knew.

Therefore, at the moment when the floating city lifted off, Liao Ruming's strategy progress stopped.

Because in Fu Pingli's mind, Floating Void City is not their final destination.That secret, unknown refuge on the ground is their last retreat.

... Liao Ruming thought, according to Fu Pingli's deep and cold personality, it was quite normal for him to make such a choice.

Sometimes Liao Ruming thinks that Fu Pingli's love for him is also cruel and indifferent.It's a condescending love that doesn't care what Liao Ruming thinks, a one-sided love.

This man is really domineering.Liao Ruming couldn't help sighing.

His strength makes it impossible for anyone to defy his dominance, even Liao Ruming.

After all, Liao Ruming is also a weak chicken with no abilities——

Liao Ruming came up with this answer, and felt a lot more relaxed.He guessed that the secret base might still be under construction, or even nearby.This is why Fu Pingli let some supernatural beings stay on the ground.

He wants to prevent other people from discovering that place, and keep abreast of the movements around that place at any time.

Liao Ruming touched his chin and began to think about where that place was located.

Badlands—must be in the Badlands.It can't be in a human gathering place.There are many people in the human gathering place. If there is such a secret base, it should have been discovered long ago.

But where in the wasteland?

If it's around here... Liao Ruming thought carefully.

Suddenly, he asked 017 a question: "Last night, did you help me fight several batches of zombies?"

"Yes." 017 replied, "There are about a dozen batches."

Liao Ruming sighed, there are so many zombies in the wasteland.He thanked 017, and then asked a question: "Where do the zombies come from?"

"Where...direction?" 017 replied, "There are all directions, but there are no zombies from the southeast."

"Southeast..." Liao Ruming raised his eyebrows, "It seems...his secret base is in the southeast."

017 didn't quite understand why Liao Ruming came to this conclusion.

What Liao Ruming thought was actually very simple.Since Fu Pingli intends to establish a secret base, he will clean up the nearby zombies regularly to ensure safety.

Of course, just in case of being discovered, Fu Pingli couldn't be too obvious.There must be some zombies wandering around.

But if the observation time is extended to the whole night, and it is still in the center of the wasteland, it seems a little strange that there are no zombies in the southeast.

At least, there must be a lot less zombies there.

...In any case, this is just a conjecture of Liao Ruming.Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he intends to verify the possibility of this idea.

However, he didn't intend to go right away.After spending the night on the wasteland last night, now Liao Ruming feels uncomfortable all over.He wanted to find a better hotel, then rest up and get a good night's sleep.

When Fu Pingli returned to Floating Void City tomorrow, he would probably have discovered his departure.At that time, Liao Ruming didn't know what Fu Pingli would do.Therefore, he planned to hide back to the wilderness tomorrow.

Just in time to find Fu Pingli's secret base.

If Fu Pingli finds him, then Liao Ruming can beat him up.

...Liao Ruming stroked his chin, thinking with a smile, the plan worked out.

So that night, Liao Ruming slept without any psychological burden.He didn't know the ominous omen lingering in Fu Pingli's heart, nor did he know what information Fu Pingli was hiding.

He just guessed Fu Pingli's mental activities according to his own ideas.

On the second day, which was also the third day after Liao Ruming came to the ground, Liao Ruming, who had a good night's dream, cheered up and searched for supplies in the human gathering place again, and then left.

In the evening of this day, the sky was as dark as blood.Airships from the Floating City come and go.A large number of supernatural beings entered the human gathering place, asking everywhere about Liao Ruming's whereabouts and whereabouts.

Finally, the complete trajectory of Liao Ruming's actions was reproduced.

On the first day, their airship landed, and Liao Ruming probably chose to go to the wasteland after they left the airship and hid for a night.The next day, Liao Ruming returned to the gathering place and had a day off.

It's day three.In the morning, Liao Ruming went to the wasteland again.

Just as Liao Ruming knew Fu Pingli, Fu Pingli also knew Liao Ruming.He could imagine what Liao Ruming was thinking when making these decisions.

...he was avoiding him.

Fu Ping sat there with a gloomy face, listening to his subordinates report on Liao Ruming's whereabouts. After hearing that Liao Ruming had spent the night in the wasteland, Fu Pingli's heart almost constricted subconsciously.

A stagnant atmosphere lingered in the airship.

Fu Pingli thought, how could he spend the night in the wasteland?Doesn't he know how dangerous the wasteland is?Will he be hurt?No, no, those who met him at the gathering the next day did not say he was injured.

...Fortunately, fortunately.

Fu Pingli's fingers curled tightly together.There was a bag beside him, which contained some things that Liao Ruming was used to.

When he heard that Liao Ruming was missing, he subconsciously wanted to go directly to the ground.But he held back.He quickly went home, swept away some things in the house, and then brought a group of supernatural beings back to the ground.

He has come to find his lover who left home.

In this dangerous place, this chaotic place, this bloody place... This is not a suitable place for Liao Ruming to live.

Fu Pingli half-closed his eyes forbearance, feeling a certain nerve in him beating crazily, urging him, forcing him, hurry up to find Liao Ruming, hurry up, hurry up... otherwise, it will be too late.

His subordinates watched him in awe until all the information was reported, and the entire airship was silent.It took a long time before someone had the courage to ask Fu Pingli what he was going to do.

However, as soon as he made a sound, Fu Pingli's figure dissipated instantly like a bubble.

After listening to the completed message, he left immediately.What remains here now is but a shadow.

His subordinates watched this scene in horror, thinking to themselves, the city lord's ability is getting stronger.

but……

Several people present looked at each other worriedly.

They were worried, but they also knew that no one could stop Fu Pingli from looking for Liao Ruming.Even Liao Ruming himself can't do it.
