The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming was actually just asking casually.

After all, 017 made a special trip to talk to him about Fu Pingli, so Liao Ruming should talk to him about other things.In addition, Liao Ruming suddenly thought of what they were preparing to do now, so he asked 017.

Maybe 017 will know something?

His main task in this world is to attack Fu Pingli, and things related to the end are not things he needs to do.

Liao Ruming wanted to be lazy, so he asked 017 casually.

He didn't expect to get any news from 017, but 017 was silent for a moment, which aroused Liao Ruming's interest.

"So what do you really know?" Liao Ruming asked enthusiastically, "Can you tell me?"

After hesitating for a long time, 017 said, "The information I know may be different from what you imagined."

Liao Ruming was stunned for a moment, confused for a while.

017 explained: "After the professors from Academia Sinica came over, they also observed other small worlds in the second universe. Then we found that many subsidiary small worlds for players in the first universe to play games appeared. Something like the doomsday.

"These doomsdays happened almost at the same time as you entered this world. In other words, the doomsday you encountered this time is not an isolated case."

"Is this the end of the second universe on a large scale?" Liao Ruming said in surprise, "No... it only happened in the subsidiary small world? It didn't really affect the second universe itself?"

Only then did Liao Ruming understand why 017 said that the news it knew was different from what Liao Ruming had imagined.

Liao Ruming thought that 017 only knew some clues related to the doomsday in this world, but in fact, what it knew was related to the entire second universe.

"Yes." 017 said, "We haven't figured out how this doomsday came about. You know, the flow of time in the first universe and the second universe is not the same, and things happen more quickly in the second universe." Much faster.

"We need more time to investigate this issue."

Liao Ruming nodded, indicating that he understood this.

He realized another question: "If this kind of apocalypse occurs on a large scale in different small worlds, does that mean that we cannot find the cause of the apocalypse in this world at all? Is this a... cosmic phenomenon?"

017 replied: "No, you should still be able to find it. Even if it is a special cosmic phenomenon, it must have its own special cause when it comes to each different world."

Liao Ruming complained: "You haven't even studied what the second universe is, how can you study this cosmic phenomenon? How can you be sure that there must be a cause? Maybe it just appeared out of nowhere.

"Isn't the second universe itself quite inexplicable? The shadow of the first universe... How many years have we all been born, and only now do we discover that there is a shadow in the first universe?"

017 echoed him: "We really don't have any in-depth research on the second universe right now."

But a large number of players have already played games in the second universe.Liao Ruming thought to himself.He really didn't understand how such a thing could happen.

Decentralization of military technology to civilian use requires a long process.And now, they don't even know what the second universe is, so they are willing to let ordinary civilians enter it to play games?

When Liao Ruming thinks about it now, he really finds it incredible.

Of course, before he entered the second universe, he didn't think so much.At that time, he felt that the second universe might be just a gimmick, and more importantly, he didn't realize how real this world was until he really entered the second universe.

So real... Liao Ruming even felt that he had time traveled.

Thinking of this, Liao Ruming suddenly couldn't help confirming to 017: "Are you sure I can exit the game, leave the second universe, and return to the first universe?"

017 replied: "Of course, you can rest assured."

Liao Ruming complained secretly, thinking, he is not at ease at all.

No one warned him in advance that there would be such strange fluctuations in Ji Zhihuai's body, and no one told him why the apocalypse happened in the small worlds attached to the second universe.

Everything that happened in the second universe seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

This made him suddenly worry about whether he could leave the second universe smoothly.

After all, he didn't even know the reason why he was able to come to the second universe.

But today, he can only choose to trust the game company and the Academia Sinica—mainly the professors of the latter.He doesn't believe in profit-only game companies.

Liao Ruming just complained secretly in his heart.

He soon lost interest in this question - the soldiers came to cover up the water.Compared with the entire second universe, Liao Ruming who came from the first universe is just a small, ordinary human being.

Even if he can't leave the second universe, what can he do?resist?

Wouldn't that be like a mantis holding a cart.

So Liao Ruming ignored this dangerous possibility with all his heart.

He was about to say something to 017, for example, ask the professors if they found anything else after they came over?

But before he could speak, he suddenly heard some movement from the tent behind him.When he turned his head, he found that 017 had already disappeared.

Fu Pingli woke up, and was terrified because Liao Ruming was not by his side.He woke up from the fright, and then hurriedly left the tent, only to be relieved when he found that Liao Ruming was still standing there.

Liao Ruming walked over, kissed him on the cheek with a smile, and then made fun of him: "Why do you look dumb? Did you have some nightmare?"

"Almost." Fu Pingli whispered, "I dreamed that you left...and I can't do anything about it."

Liao Ruming looked at him inexplicably, and then said, "Why did I leave?"

Fu Pingli also looked at him.

Liao Ruming said: "When I want to leave, I will definitely tell you."

Fu Pingli was taken aback, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.

What he wants is not the right to know, but the right to discuss.

His freewheeling lover, though, may not have been as thoughtful.Liao Ruming's temperament is quite erratic, hot and cold, and this kind of personality always makes people hit the head when they are most infatuated with his tenderness and affection.

Anyway, Fu Pingli always had an uneasy thought.

Liao Ruming looked at Fu Pingli's expression, and then murmured, "I'm just kidding." He leaned over and hugged Fu Pingli, and said complacently, "As long as you don't make me angry, I will definitely not leave you."

"What makes you angry?"

"If you hide me, deceive me, and betray me, my anger will increase in turn." Liao Ruming used the game-like setting as a metaphor for his emotions, "I hate these three things."

Fu Pingli nodded, and then added himself: "You still hate being restricted in your freedom."

"That's right." Liao Ruming suddenly realized, and he said seriously, "Indeed, I hate people forcing me to do things I don't like." He shrugged, "It's not just for lovers."

Anyone who forces Liao Ruming to do something he doesn't like will feel angry.

It's just that Liao Ruming's lovers—especially the former Ji Zhihuai and the current Fu Pingli—don't force him much.After all, this is someone very close to him, and he will try to consider it from his perspective.

However, Fu Pingli still acted very irrationally despite his rage.

Fu Pingli couldn't help softening his tone, and apologized to him again: "I'm sorry. I was mad at that time."

"It's okay, I'm not angry anymore." Liao Ruming said with a smile, "I just treat it as a kind of fun, how about it?"

Fu Pingli was stunned, and then his ears turned red: "I...I would rather you..."

"Oh."

Liao Ruming looked at him meaningfully.

After a while, Liao Ruming said: "You know that there are no people in the wasteland, but occasionally zombies pass by, right?"

"...Yes." Fu Pingli said, "But I will pay more attention."

"Can you do it then?"

"...I, I will try my best."

Liao Ruming laughed loudly.

He found that entangled with Fu Pingli on this matter, but there will be some surprises.At least, he felt that Fu Pingli was more fun and interesting at this time.

When he arrived in the wasteland, Liao Ruming seemed to let himself go.

He said, "We can try that tonight."

"……How about tomorrow?"

Liao Ruming was startled, and then said: "Aren't supernatural beings more resilient than ordinary people?" He looked at Fu Pingli thoughtfully, "So you haven't...?"

Fu Pingli felt ashamed for a moment.

Should he admit that the physique of the supernatural person is not as strong as Liao Ruming imagined, or should he let Liao Ruming realize that maybe he overestimated the supernatural person and underestimated himself...?

Supernatural beings are nothing more than mortals with special abilities.

In the end, Fu Pingli was unable to bring this issue to his mouth.

Of course, in the end, they still completed the previous agreement on the second night.

By the morning of the third day, they were deep into the wasteland.

Liao Ruming lay in the weeds, resting with his legs crossed.He yelled at Fu Pingli: "There are indeed no people in the wasteland, and there are no zombies. We have already tested it!"

Fu Pingli walked towards him with his breakfast, and then almost subconsciously stopped.

... He really couldn't understand how Liao Ruming managed to say such a private and shameful thing in public.Of course, in the wasteland where they are now, there is indeed no one else.

even so……

Fu Pingli sat beside Liao Ruming helplessly, and handed him the breakfast sandwich.

Liao Ruming took it with a smile, said thank you, and then said: "Should you also say thank you to me?"

Fu Pingli looked at him in confusion, frowning slightly: "Why?"

"I didn't bother you much last night..."

Fu Pingli lowered his head silently, not daring to look at Liao Ruming's playful eyes at all.

Liao Ruming laughed loudly and fell on him, he said with a smile: "We have been together for so long!"

Fu Pingli is still shy because of this incident...it's unbelievable.Could it be because they broke up once before, which can also be regarded as Xiaobiesheng newlyweds?

Liao Ruming touched his chin thoughtfully.

After breakfast, the topic became more serious.They talk about their route.

According to the plan, they should arrive at the first place to be investigated in the afternoon.That's where the first wave of zombies broke out in the previous information.

Their pace is not slow.If the weather is good, then Fu Pingli will use his supernatural powers to lead Liao Ruming to speed up.If it rains, then they will temporarily set up camp and move forward in no hurry.

...But to be honest, Liao Ruming's thinking about traveling is probably useless.

He complained to Fu Pingli: "The wasteland is so boring! The exact same scenery is really boring."

Fu Pingli listened carefully to his words.

Liao Ruming said: "The doomsday really ruined this beautiful world. If it was the world before the doomsday, then I still want to visit and visit. But now..." He sighed, "If the doomsday does not come, then maybe We can all go on our honeymoon to the world's tourist destinations!"

Fu Pingli was startled, it was the first time he heard such a clear speculation from Liao Ruming, what would happen to the two of them if the end had not come.

Fu Pingli asked: "If the end has not come, do you think we will still be together?"
