The strategy was almost successful!

Staring at this man, Liao Ruming felt for the first time that their intimacy in the past ten years was an illusion.It was as if he had never really known this man.

Fu Pingli was silent for a long time, which meant that Liao Ruming's guess was right.The problem with Fu Pingli's ability is indeed related to his going to the ground at a fixed time for so many years.

But he was still unwilling to tell Liao Ruming about this connection, and even kept silent so far.

This is an outright cover-up.But Liao Ruming hated this deeply.He hated being concealed, misled, deceived.He asked his world to remain clear and clear forever.

Liao Ruming asked himself to live happily and thoroughly.He understands how everything works in the world, and how dark and cruel this world is, but he always asks himself not to see those dark sides, but to see those bright sides.

It's like when those adults made the children in the foster home cry, but he laughed, Liao Ruming told himself, seeing the money and attention those adults brought, don't see the children crying and their disgusting behavior. smile.

Things always have a good side and a bad side, but Liao Ruming let himself know the bad side, and then only accept the good side.

People living in this world are of course bound and suffering.But Liao Ruming, a wayward guy, tried his best not to be disturbed by those bad emotions.

This is a paranoid and fierce side of his character hidden under his calm and lazy appearance.He possesses an incomparably sharp, determined nature.

His highest aim is to be happy.Make yourself happy without hurting others.

...So sometimes, Fu Pingli makes him feel powerless.

He didn't even know what Fu Pingli was hiding, and that was what disturbed him the most.

He always asks himself to understand the good and the bad.But now, he could only accept that his partner's powers were fading, and he didn't even understand why.

Now, Liao Ruming had to swallow this bitter fruit instead.

This is not a good thing.This violated Liao Ruming's long-standing principles of life, and it made him feel forced to embark on a path he didn't like.This distortion of will made Liao Ruming extremely painful.

He stared at Fu Pingli, but made himself feel sad and confused.This is not a good thing.

Liao Ruming likes to talk about a relaxed and happy relationship.Although he never talked about it in the real world, even though the relationship with Ji Zhihuai was not all smooth sailing...

However, in this world, he realized for the first time that the world is real.

When he evaluated Fu Pingli's innocence and stupidity, he also realized that he was the same.It is impossible for him to ask Fu Pingli, who grew up in this doomsday world, to be completely honest with him.

That could be a refuge.

...a refuge prepared only for Fu Pingli himself.

Now Liao Ruming can objectively evaluate this possibility.

He used to think that it was a refuge prepared by Fu Pingli for Liao Ruming and any close friends.It's that they might be in the last apocalypse, a possible Xanadu.

But there is another possibility, isn't there?

If it was really for Liao Ruming, then Liao Ruming felt that Fu Pingli should be able to be honest.Since it was originally prepared for Liao Ruming, and since it is possible for Liao Ruming to pass in the future, why not let Liao Ruming know?

If Fu Pingli really thought about Liao Ruming, then he should let Liao Ruming know earlier.In case something happens temporarily, in case something goes wrong in Fu Pingli, then Liao Ruming can go there by himself.

But Fu Pingli always kept it a secret from him.

…So, that might be a small shelter that Fu Pingli prepared just for himself, isn’t it?

That might be something to use at the last minute.As long as there is even the slightest possibility that Fu Pingli can be with Liao Ruming forever, then it is impossible for him to activate this refuge.

However, if something happened to Liao Ruming, if the whole world were to end, then Fu Pingli could leave alone.As he said, if Liao Ruming is gone, then the life and death of human beings has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, that location is the last 10% of Liao Ruming's strategy progress.

And Fu Pingli fully has this opportunity to build such a one-person shelter.

If it's just for one person, then materials, supplies, etc. don't need a lot.Perhaps when they established the Floating Void City, it was enough for Fu Pingli to be a little greedy.

... Liao Ruming speculated about Fu Pingli's thoughts so darkly.

He didn't really like it that much.Or rather, disgust.The disgust was directed at himself.

He himself knew that his dark speculation and conjecture were some kind of blasphemy against Fu Pingli.He shouldn't suspect this arrogant guy who has always protected him.

He knew that Fu Pingli was an upright person, and that kind of strength was revealed to the outside, which made Fu Pingli disdain those conspiracies at all.

But Liao Ruming still speculated wishfully.

Perhaps, this is his nature - he pretends to be so sunny, cheerful, and happy, as if he has nothing to do with the world, as if he is enjoying himself.However, his essence is still a bad guy.

A man who grew up in an orphanage and left the orphanage mercilessly after he became an adult.

... Liao Ruming's thoughts jumped to the orphanage, and then he turned his thoughts away indifferently.

Recently, he seemed to think of the foster home too many times.this is not good.

He judged himself harshly.

Then he sighed and asked lazily, "Why?"

Why did Fu Pingli keep concealing Liao Ruming?Why did he hide that location so tightly?

Is that... just like Liao Ruming thought, that was Fu Pingli's retreat prepared for himself.And there was no Liao Ruming in this retreat.

Liao Ruming sincerely hoped that he was wrong.Just like what he was looking for when he guessed wrong, the person related to Ji Zhihuai.He hoped that his thoughts were too dark, not that Fu Pingli was really this kind of rubbish.

But in Fu Pingli's silence, Liao Ruming was also slowly disappointed.

He said with a little regret: "Lili, are you really unwilling to tell me? No... I said it before, I shouldn't call you Lili anymore. You don't like it, do you?"

No, he likes it.

Every time Liao Ruming called him that, the kind of intimacy and liveliness, with a certain kind of fun and detachment that Liao Ruming was born with, would always make Fu Pingli's heart tremble.

Nasty?Disgusting nickname?This is not Fu Pingli's idea.

He loves Liao Ruming's tone and expression very, very much when he calls him that.

Fu Pingli thought so in his heart.

But his throat seemed to be blocked, making it impossible for him to express his thoughts.

Until Liao Ruming stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and left the room briskly, Fu Pingli still couldn't say anything.

He lowered his head, stared at his palm quietly, and then smiled wryly.

What should he say?Said his life is not long?

After a long time, Fu Pingli let out a long sigh.

He thought, instead of letting Liao Ruming know the cruel truth, let Liao Ruming think he is a villain.It's better to let Liao Ruming - so easily, miss the truth, and continue to live ignorantly and happily in this world.

Things have come to this point, Fu Pingli can hardly turn back.

He felt like a knife stabbed in his heart.Any possibility of losing Liao Ruming would make Fu Pingli desperate, but this time, he pushed Liao Ruming out with his own hands.

He knew that if he told Liao Ruming the truth just now, everything could be turned around.

But he did not choose to do so.

It seems that he is used to protecting Liao Ruming, so he is used to keeping that cruel truth far away from Liao Ruming.

Therefore, he also placed himself far away from Liao Ruming.

He sat in silence for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his lips.

Was that kiss in the afternoon actually the last kiss?He thought so, and then suddenly felt wet on his fingers.There is a cool touch on the cheek.

At this moment, he realized that he had already burst into tears.

Liao Ruming left the room briskly, and then realized that he had nowhere to go in this human gathering place.

He walked gracefully, but all his things are still in that room...

Liao Ruming was annoyed for a moment, and then he didn't bother to slap himself in the face.He walked out of the small courtyard and wandered around casually.He felt bored, so he called 017 out for a chat.

017 hesitated and asked: "So, are you officially breaking up with Fu Pingli?"

"Officially?" Liao Ruming thought for a moment, "Probably so. I really can't understand why he doesn't want to tell me what he is hiding."

But 017 reminded him: "However, you still have to find that location. If you can't find it, then you can only wait for Fu Pingli's death before leaving this world."

However, how long does Fu Pingli have left?

... A sense of worry flashed through Liao Ruming's heart.But he didn't think deeply.

He just said: "Whatever. Maybe I can still witness the demise or rise of human beings in this world." He shrugged, "Besides, in such a dangerous world, who knows if I will encounter any danger, And then it's over?"

Even with 017's protection... But things are impermanent.It is impossible for him to rely on 017 for the rest of his life.

017 has nothing to say.It realized that its host had a really complicated personality.

Liao Ruming was too lazy to continue talking about Fu Pingli with 017.Seriously, Liao Ruming is still angry now.

He broke up with Fu Pingli three times.

The first time he was locked up in Fu Pingli, and then Liao Ruming was angry and impulsively said "break up".Later, he also pretended that he hadn't said anything.

The second time was in the wilderness.He realized something... something cold between him and Fu Pingli, so in an emotion that was too calm—or too cruel, he said to break up.

At that time, he was very serious, but later, he was cruelly awakened by an even crueler reality.He still needs Fu Pingli's strength, this is a reality, and he can't change it.

So Liao Ruming also pretended that the phrase "break up" had never been said as if nothing had happened.

...Then what else could he do!Is he happy to slap himself in the face!He's just mad!

And the angry Liao Ruming was always more self-willed than usual.

This is the third time I have said "break up".

This time, he finally touched on the fundamental reason why he wanted to say "break up".For the last 10% of the strategy progress, Fu Pingli has always concealed something or a certain place from him.

And what would that be?

Liao Ruming couldn't help but think for a moment, and then he didn't bother to continue thinking.He couldn't think of it out of thin air, whether it was a multi-person shelter or a single-person shelter, it was just his own opinion, and it might not really be the essence of that place.

Liao Ruming also doesn't want his ideas to be affected by preconceived prejudices.

He flatly swept those thoughts into the trash.

Afterwards, he wandered around the human gathering place.However, as the night deepened, people slowly returned to their residences.And the atmosphere permeating this human gathering place seems a little strange.

...It seems that everyone knows that now there is a mutant zombie with supernatural powers that may attack their gathering place at any time.

In this situation, people seem to have no intention of doing anything else.There was something absent-minded on everyone's face.

Liao Ruming is actually the same.He couldn't help thinking, what are those mutated zombies living in the wasteland planning to do now?Waiting, angry, or ready to attack the shelter?

Liao Ruming was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling suddenly crossed his mind.

He thought, why not?

He and Fu Pingli killed a mutant zombie.For the zombie group, this means that humans have discovered the existence of this mutant zombie.

And those zombies with wisdom naturally knew that their clumsy plan had failed.And it is very likely that human beings will begin to encircle and suppress the mutated zombies in a very short period of time.

In this case...they, why didn't they act first?

In Liao Ruming's ears, screams of terror suddenly sounded one after another in the distance.
