The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming looked at the group of people in front of him with disinterest.

It is difficult for human beings to keep their bottom line in the face of interests.He sighed in his heart.

Ten years have passed since the doomsday, which means that human society has a basic order, although it is formed according to the strength of supernatural beings, a group similar to a tribe.

But at least, human beings do have a certain degree of security.

As a result, people's hearts fluttered.

After hearing that the mutated zombies also had supernatural powers, Liao Ruming was convinced that in the eyes of most of the supernatural beings in front of him, apart from fear and worry, greedy expressions appeared.

This made him more or less irritated.

Mutated zombies have abilities?Does that mean that zombies also have energy crystal nuclei that can only be possessed by human beings?

And that kind of crystal nucleus - in the past time, countless supernatural beings have sacrificed, and their energy crystal nucleus, although cruel, is also used for research - it can be used as an energy source for human beings' daily life.

Countless human gathering places rely on the crystal nuclei of the dead supernatural beings and the power in the energy crystal nuclei provided by the living supernatural beings to maintain the daily necessities of life.

Then, someone asked about the energy crystal nucleus of the mutated zombie that Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli met.

"It's gone!" Liao Ruming said angrily, "I was poisoned and had to use energy crystal nuclei to detoxify."

The person on the opposite side felt sorry and embarrassed again.

They soon chatted about the siege.But without knowing how many mutated zombies there are in the wasteland, they had to find out the situation first.In addition, they have to discuss how many manpower they each have to contribute.

In this huge human gathering place, there are at least a few thousand supernatural beings.However, it is impossible for each of these thousands of supernatural beings to leave the gathering place and go to the wasteland.Who will go and who will not, this becomes a problem.

The Floating Void City is detached, and the presence of Fu Pingli and Liao Ruming is a sign of the Floating Void City.Moreover, in order to find Liao Ruming, there are still many supernatural beings from the Floating Void City staying in this gathering place.

Of course, most of the floating city power users have already withdrawn.They also have to be responsible for the safety of the floating city itself.

Just because they were discussing manpower, this group of human supernatural beings quarreled within a short period of time.Liao Ruming was impatient to hear those things and left the meeting place.

Fu Pingli also followed him out.

"Aren't you going to continue listening?" Liao Ruming asked casually, "What if they trick us?"

That's what he said, but everyone knew they didn't dare.Fu Pingli is a huge shock of force.

But Fu Pingli said: "They dare not."

Liao Ruming glanced at him and thought, doesn't he know that they dare not?He just made an excuse—what he really wanted to say was, why did you come out with me?

However, Fu Pingli will never understand the hidden meaning of Liao Ruming.

Liao Ruming felt bored for a moment.

Well, he already knew that Fu Pingli was such a person, and he shouldn't have any illusions.He should be more straightforward and let this dull guy understand his hidden meaning.

But Liao Ruming didn't bother to repeat the previous question.

He simply said: "I guess they won't get any results today. So... Where is our resting place? Let's go there and have a rest first. I'm exhausted."

"Okay. Come with me."

They walked through the crowded gathering place to their residence.

Liao Ruming heard some people talking about zombies, but there was no such word as mutated zombies, but they did link zombies with supernatural powers.

Liao Ruming thought to himself, before the group of supernatural beings made a name for themselves, ordinary people already knew about the existence of this matter.It's ridiculous.

... After thinking for a while, he didn't bother to think any more.Liao Ruming didn't have so many idle thoughts, he was willing to let himself relax and not think about those boring things.

"correct."

Before walking to the door of a small private courtyard, Fu Pingli suddenly mentioned something.

"What?" Liao Ruming looked at him inexplicably.

"Your assistant..." Fu Pingli hesitated, and then said, "Let me bring you some documents."

Liao Ruming: "..."

He said angrily: "Fu Pingli! I think we should break up!"

After speaking, he was about to flee.

Fu Pingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he quickly hugged Liao Ruming, and said in a low voice, "You can work later."

Liao Ruming rolled his eyes and sneered.

He is already bored!He wants to resign!Leave the city officer to his little assistant, he thinks this kid has a bright future.

Liao Ruming made up his mind.

Afterwards, he entered the small courtyard and went to take a bath and change clothes by himself.When he came out refreshed, he found Fu Pingli sitting there, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Liao Ruming asked him while wiping his hair, "Is there a result of the quarrel over there?"

Fu Pingli glanced at him, then shook his head. He stood up, walked over, and helped Liao Ruming to brush his hair.

Liao Ruming was happy to be at leisure.

"No, it's our people who also encountered a mutant zombie in the wasteland." Fu Pingli said, "... Shall I cut your hair for you? It's a bit long."

"It's up to you." Liao Ruming said, "How did we meet? Where is it?"

Fu Pingli said: "It's the speed expert, you may know him. He came here when we were preparing to build the floating city..."

"Okay, okay, I know that guy." Liao Ruming said, "Did you send him out while I was taking a shower?"

"Yes." Fu Pingli wiped Liao Ruming's hair, so he didn't notice the slight expression change on Liao Ruming's face.

But it was just that moment, Liao Ruming quickly asked nonchalantly: "How is the result?"

"He said that within an area of ​​[-] kilometers, there are at least ten mutated zombies with supernatural powers."

Liao Ruming was speechless.

Fu Pingli used his fingers as scissors to quickly clean Liao Ruming's hair.

Liao Ruming followed him, but thought: "It's already so much...but no one has discovered this for so many years. Seven years ago, that mutated zombie drove the tide of corpses to attack the gathering place. It doesn't make sense that they are now can hold back."

"Maybe it's waiting." Fu Pingli said, "a chance to win big."

Liao Ruming thought for a moment, then sighed: "They already have wisdom."

The wisdom of hiding, the wisdom of waiting for the opportunity, and the wisdom of unity.

For humans, this is not a good sign.

Liao Ruming closed his eyes forcefully, and then said: "I'm afraid we have to make a decision as soon as possible. We can't let them quarrel any longer. We killed the mutant zombie last night, and the other mutant zombies probably already know about it." gone."

Fu Pingli finally trimmed the end of Liao Ruming's hair, then nodded, agreeing with his thoughts: "Wait for me to take a shower. Let's go there and let them realize the seriousness of the matter."

"This is not a battle of interests." Liao Ruming sneered, "This is a battle for survival. It's ridiculous that they didn't realize it."

In the tenth year of the apocalypse, human beings can even be called peaceful for a long time.

Breaking away from a dangerous situation, perhaps some people do still retain the vigilance and sensitivity that comes from fighting in the doomsday, but more people, they have already immersed in such tranquility and serenity.

No one wants to live in killing and bloodshed forever.So even if they are deluding themselves, they let themselves do their best to ignore those strange signs.

They deny the coming of danger, but the danger cannot really disappear in response to their denial.

Liao Ruming lay there lazily, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Fu Pingli took a quick shower, and he came out with a bath towel on.Afterwards, he sat beside Liao Ruming.There is still some warm water vapor permeating Liao Ruming's nose.

Fu Pingli sat silently for a while, then tentatively reached out and stroked Liao Ruming's cheek.

"Don't even think about it." Liao Ruming closed his eyes and said, "I don't have time now."

Fu Pingli is sorry.

Liao Ruming opened his eyes, smiled slyly, and said, "But a kiss is still okay."

He grabbed Fu Pingli's towel and pulled the man over.His body still bears the scars from past battles.Liao Ruming also has it, but after five years of intensive care in the floating city, those scars have almost disappeared.

Liao Ruming kissed Fu Pingli heavily, as if all the intense and restless emotions in the past, as well as the previous experience close to death, were vented in this kiss.

Fu Pingli suffered a little pain, but he calmly endured and indulged.After a while, Liao Ruming let him go easily.

And Fu Pingli stepped back a little, and then stared at Liao Ruming.

Liao Ruming looked at his expression at this time and thought, really, this man who can't make any expression is boring, really boring.

He pinched Fu Pingli's cheek in dissatisfaction, and pulled his lips into an ugly, funny smile, which satisfied Liao Ruming.

Fu Pingli did nothing and let Liao Ruming's actions go.If it can make Liao Ruming happy, he is willing to do anything.

Soon, Liao Ruming stopped playing.

He stood up and went with Fu Pingli to convince the group of supernatural beings.

As the evening approached, they successfully persuaded all the supernatural beings.

One relying on force, and the other relying on the news brought back by the speed expert.No one thought that there were already ten mutated zombies hiding in the wasteland so close to them.

Some supernatural beings who had passed by the adjacent area couldn't help turning pale.

They decided to leave the next morning.Afterwards, they broke up the meeting and started their own preparations.As the news spread, people in the human gathering place gradually panicked.

Liao Ruming didn't bother to care what these people thought.

After all, although he didn't want to return to Floating Void City, his position was still on the side of Floating Void City.

Human gathering place?It's just because they happened to meet mutant zombies this time, and it was a mystery that hadn't been solved many years ago, so they were willing to participate.

If Liao Ruming didn't come to the ground and stayed in the floating city, then the ground would probably become the territory of mutated zombies sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Liao Ruming couldn't help but shudder.

He suddenly thought of a question.

He asked Fu Pingli: "Didn't you find the existence of mutated zombies when you returned to the ground?"

Fu Pingli shook his head: "We didn't advance in a sweeping manner, we just randomly selected certain areas in the wasteland." He said, "Before, you walked in one direction for a day or two before we finally encountered that bird. Mutated zombies.

"It was the first time that the speed expert sent out before had searched for zombies in such detail, so he discovered something strange."

"Is that so..."

Liao Ruming touched his chin thoughtfully.

He wondered, could this group of mutated zombies hide from humans on purpose?

Maybe this group of mutated zombies wants to hide their clumsiness, and when they have accumulated enough power, they can attack wantonly without human beings realizing the existence of mutated zombies.

Unprepared human beings at that time are bound to meet great and terrible defeats.

But now, because Liao Ruming ventured deep into the wilderness, they discovered the existence of mutant zombies in advance.In this case, will those mutated zombies make something in advance...?

Liao Ruming thought about it, but couldn't get a definite answer.It is impossible for them to know the changes in the wasteland at this moment.

This can't help but make Liao Ruming regretful.

They have returned to their residence.Tomorrow, they will go to the wasteland with other supernatural beings.

Liao Ruming also went.Originally, Fu Pingli didn't want Liao Ruming to go, but he hesitated again and again, and in the end he still didn't stop Liao Ruming.

He was even more or less obsessed with the current situation.

The relationship between him and Liao Ruming seems to have returned to the time when the floating city was not established a long time ago. They are intimate, honest, and talk about everything... Obviously the floating city symbolizes their respective successes, but since then, they have gradually drifted away. Far.

After returning to the ground, Fu Pingli unexpectedly discovered that the two seemed to have regained their previous relationship.

It made him feel very happy.

...as if all the previous quarrels and separations did not exist.

Liao Ruming took his thoughts away from the mutated zombie, then stared at Fu Pingli for a while, and found another commonality between this person and Ji Zhihuai—no, they are essentially the same, but Liao Ruming didn't realize that at this point.

He was deceived by Fu Pingli's illusion.

He thought, Fu Pingli was whitewashing the peace again.

Yes, they just kissed each other not long ago; yes, they fought together and were about to go to war.

But does this mean that the contradictions and disputes between them do not exist?

...not really.

The problem has not been resolved.It was only because of the sudden appearance of mutated zombies that Liao Ruming decided to temporarily put aside his previous troubles.

But he didn't want Fu Pingli to deceive himself like this.

He felt a very complicated... resentment and sadness about it.

He sighed, and then said, "So...for the past five years, you've been going back to the surface every three months, why?"

"Because I want to collect materials and energy for the floating city." Fu Pingli frowned, "Didn't you always know?"

"Really?" Liao Ruming said in a cool tone, "Why do I think this matter has something to do with your ability?"

... The room was suddenly silent.

Fu Pingli felt his heart sinking heavily.
