The red sun slowly sets, and the glow on the horizon becomes more and more brilliant.

Half an hour flew by in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the clean and bright room again, Fang Cheng clapped his hands and felt a lot more comfortable.

This is like a normal person's home.

He put the mops and brooms into the cleaning cabinet and packed them away.

Then he took a chair and sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sunset outside the window.

Looking out from this height, the view is wide and the scenery is excellent.

The sea surface illuminated by the setting sun is covered with a warm orange halo.

Accompanied by the sound of motors, several returning fishing boats cut through the waves and slowly sailed into Harbor.

Further away on the Cliff, the white Lighthouse, which has been abandoned for many years, is like a lonely sentinel, silently watching the sea and the sky.

During the time when Eastern Capital was back, Fang Cheng, in addition to training every day, almost always shuttled between the headquarters of Wanghu Town, Sanatorium and Illumination Society.

It's rare to have such a moment of complete relaxation.

While working at Sanatorium today, I heard Lin Xu Hao and Cheng Le Yi accidentally mention the "Operation Western Mountains" that Special Search Team is secretly preparing.

Then he suddenly remembered the Crawling Beast meat he had put in Haitian Garden Freezer, so he stopped by to take a look after get off work.

Looking at the fading afterglow in the distance, Fang Cheng's thoughts flowed.

Special Search Team's so-called Operation Western Mountains, although Lin Xu Hao did not dare to go into details due to confidentiality regulations, he had already made a rough guess about the causes and consequences.

When Western Mountains took Special Search Team's wilderness survival test, he accidentally bumped into several hired Mercenary disguised as Examinees.

The goal of that group of people is to find a Ancient Ruins entrance hidden deep in the Western Mountains, which is the Space Rift that can lead to Otherworld.

At that time, a conflict broke out between the two parties. Fang Cheng killed the hired group Mercenary on the spot, and then ventured through the golden barrier and went to Other Shore World.

After he returned from Otherworld, he encountered the behind-the-scenes instigator Lu Tianming who came to help him, and a fierce fight broke out.

The battle was so noisy that it directly alerted Special Search Team's Garrison Troops to come to search, and even almost caused the exam that night to be interrupted.

Afterwards, he had doubts. Special Search Team chose the examination room deep in the Western Mountains, probably with the intention of investigating and searching for ruins.

Now it seems that Special Search Team should have followed the clues to find the specific location of Ancient Ruins, and locked the relatively stable Space Rift.

That's why we started to maintain the channel with great fanfare, select elite personnel, and prepare to form a team to explore Other Shore World on a large scale.

As for whether Lu Tianming confessed after being arrested during this period, or whether Special Search Team confirmed it on his own through other technical means.

Fang Cheng doesn't care and doesn't bother to dig deeper.

Anyway, he holds Inner World left behind by Jiang Chen.

There is also a Space Rift there, which may also lead to the Wasteland world.

As long as you wait patiently for the Yin Qi to be accumulated, you can freely enter and exit Space Rift at any time. There is no need to envy the resources of Special Search Team.

At that time, it will be up to us who can go further in Other Shore World.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the window and thought for a long time. He didn't look back until the last ray of sunset on the horizon completely faded.

He turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

In the next few days, Fang Cheng plans to stay here at Haitian Garden and clean up the ingredients in Freezer.

By the way, calm down, gain experience, and rush your Cooking skill that is close to a breakthrough to Master Level to see what kind of Enhancement Reward you can get.

Late at night, the bustling Commercial District.

At the top of Skyscrapers, the strong wind howled incessantly, causing the metal LOGO to make "crunching" and "crunching" sounds.

The flashing Neon Lights light strips on the street below interweave into a gorgeous sea of light.

The giant LED screen on the outer wall of the building in the distance is rolling out fashion advertisements from international brands.

The colorful light and shadow crossed the edge of the rooftop and illuminated the rough Concrete on the ground.

Lu Tianming stood alone in front of the low windproof wall, overlooking the busy traffic at his feet.

He wears a brand new Bronze Mask on his face.

In the Western Mountains Dense Forest, the original mask was punched to pieces by Fang Cheng.

This is a replacement that he just recently remade with special Alloy.

Under the mask, those eyes were still sharp, but revealed an unconcealable gloom.

In the past half month, he has been in a very difficult situation.

When Western Mountains Examination Site happened to Unexpected Events, the subsequent impact was far more difficult than imagined.

In order to completely smooth out the files of those employees Mercenary without leaving any traces.

He used Internal Affairs Department's great authority and went back and forth among Special Search Team's various departments before he could barely suppress the storm.

As for the unreasonable and extremely physically terrifying Humanoid Tyrannosaurus, there is a sharp sword hanging above his head.

The hidden danger that could detonate at any time made Lu Tianming feel like it was stuck in his throat and he could not sleep.

Not only that, the current pressure actually comes more from the organization called "Utopia".

This Mysterious Organization hidden in the dark has unfathomable background and tentacles all over the world.

Since the two parties formed an alliance last year, they have conducted many shady exchanges of interests.

Just like when Mercenary was hired to sneak into the examination room and disguise their identities, it was exactly the order given by "Utopia".

At this point, even if he wanted to withdraw, he found that he was already deeply trapped.

As Black Tide Vice President, he often has to hold his nose and work hard for the other party.

Moreover, there seems to be some big move there recently, and the demands made are becoming more and more excessive.

Lu Tianming Facing the cold wind blowing from high in the sky, a chill flashed across his eyes.

We can no longer be so passive. We must find a way to turn against the customer, or at least find out the opponent's real trump card.

While thinking, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

The sound was very soft, and the movement of the soles of the shoes on the rooftop was almost completely covered up by the sound of the wind.

If it weren't for Lu Tianming's hearing being far beyond ordinary people's, he wouldn't have noticed that anyone was approaching at this moment.

He suddenly turned around and locked his eyes on the source of the sound.

I saw a fat figure appearing in the equipment room Shadows leading to the top floor.

The person who came was visually estimated to weigh over two hundred pounds. He was wrapped in a large deep Gray burqa and had a funny pig-head mask on his face.

With such an astonishing body shape, he has the light steps of a cat. The strong contrast makes people feel strange.

"You're late, Hai Zhu."

Lu Tianming called out the other party's code name in a low voice.

The fat man named Hai Zhu moved his steps and walked from Shadows into the halo of Neon Lights.

"I met a few Special Search Team patrol dogs on the road and took a detour."

His voice came out through the mask and seemed a little dull.

The two stopped with a distance of about ten meters.

"Special Search Team departments have been shrinking their peripheral forces recently. Dongdu City's garrison level has been mentioned to Level Two Alert, which is second only to the highest level of national mobilization. You'd better be careful."

Lu Tianming briefly described the current situation.

Hai Zhu nodded, his fat chin shaking:

"I know that you Special Search Team are secretly planning a big operation. It seems that you are preparing to enter Other Shore World connected to the Western Mountains channel on a large scale."

Lu Tianming Hearing this, the brows under the mask raised slightly.

Special Search Team's confidentiality work is extremely strict. Even many internal middle-level managers are still kept in the dark about this news, but the other party has already found out everything.

"Since you are so well-informed, why are you looking for me?"

Lu Tianming snorted coldly, looking a little impatient.

Hai Zhu ignored his attitude and said to himself:

"Bronze, I asked you to arrange for people to infiltrate Western Mountains Examination Site, but it was a pity that you failed."

"If the space interference device was successfully activated and destroyed the anchored Ancient Ruins, Special Search Team must now be unable to control the entrance and cannot enter."

Lu Tianming heard this, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately asked:

"What do you mean? Bringing up old matters again, do you want to call for punishment?"

Hai Zhu waved his hand and replied calmly:

"It's just to confirm the variables. You also know that the purpose of that operation was not to snatch Ruin Entrance."

Lu Tianming was slightly startled.

Western Mountains Examination Site That area is the hinterland under the jurisdiction of Special Search Team. Even if outsiders find the entrance location accurately, they Absolute Control cannot.

Therefore, the task assigned by Utopia is to use interference devices to cause space oscillations, destroy the balance of the channel, and completely destroy it.

"I've done everything I need to do here, who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway."

Lu Tianming followed the words and continued to defend:

"So what if Special Search Team masters the crack and successfully enters Other Shore World? You Utopia are as skilled as the clouds and are powerful. Are you still afraid of competing with Special Search Team for resources in Otherworld?"

Hai Zhu shook his head, stretched out a stubby finger and shook it:

"You don't understand the situation. We are not worried about Special Search Team seizing resources, but we are worried that such uncontrolled variables will affect Utopia's subsequent plans."

"I don't understand?"

Lu Tianming's eyes flashed slightly, he took the opportunity to use the topic and raised his tone a bit:

"What on earth are you planning? You have to hide it even from me, your partner. You only throw out a few death-defying missions at a time. Do you really think that I am your subordinate who can come and go at a moment's notice?"

Faced with Lu Tianming's questioning, Hai Zhu appeared extremely patient.

He stood there, letting the cold wind blow his burqa. He didn't speak slowly until Lu Tianming's voice calmed down:

"When your efforts are needed in the future, you will naturally know the whole story. Trust me, it won't be long."

After a short pause, Hai Zhu changed the subject and asked directly:

"Have you found the person who ruined the plan?"

Lu Tianming's eyes were reserved and he shook his head without changing his expression:

"Can't find it. That person didn't appear in Examinees's list at all. I used Special Search Team's intelligence system to screen it, but there was no matching target."

He lied without blushing and threw out his guess to confuse the audience:

"The top management of Special Search Team has most likely predicted it, so they arranged for a top expert to be among Examinees. On the surface, they are protecting Order, but secretly they are also investigating the position of Ruin Entrance."

"Really?"

Hai Zhu lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Behind the pig-head mask, his eyes were shining, as if he was seriously evaluating the authenticity of this statement.

Lu Tianming interrupted his thoughts with a voice at the right time:

"If you meet me today just to talk about this old thing that is irreparable, then I should go."

"No, there are new instructions this time."

Hai Zhu raised his head and explained his purpose:

"The higher-ups hope that you will find an opportunity to get a quota, sneak into the team of this Western Mountains operation, and wait for the opportunity."

Lu Tianming was a little surprised:

"You mean, let me follow you into Other Shore World?"

"Yes."

Hai Zhu nodded and affirmed:

"When that time comes, you will naturally be useful. I will inform you of the specific communication method before departure."

Lu Tianming stood there and thought for a moment.

Entering Other Shore World was his next plan, and there was no conflict with this requirement.

"Okay, I agree."

Lu Tianming straightened his back and looked at the opponent sharply:

"But I also have conditions. I have done so many things for you Utopia, when will you fulfill your promise and introduce me to me?"

As the leader of Black Tide Organization, he is now willing to be controlled by others largely because he wants to get in touch with the mysterious leader behind Utopia.

Hai Zhu let out a few dull laughs and immediately explained:

"Your Excellency is currently in Secluded Cultivation. Waiting for the day when he comes out of isolation, with your contribution to Utopia during this period, you are fully qualified to meet Your Excellency, and even become a core member..."

Lu Tianming interrupted unceremoniously:

"It's not necessary to join Utopia. I just want to see it with my own eyes and confirm whether he is the Savior that we Black Tide have been looking for."

"Don't worry."

Hai Zhu's tone revealed a strong enthusiasm and confidence:

"If there is anyone else in this world who is qualified to bear the name "Savior", it can only be our great leader."

"I hope so."

Lu Tianming said in a deep voice.

After the words fell, the atmosphere on the rooftop changed Slow Down.

The two people's eyes met for a moment behind the masks, and they put away any unnecessary temptations in a tacit understanding.

After several discussions and arguments, relevant intelligence information was disclosed to each other.

This joint mission of secret collusion has been accomplished.

"Then I'll go ahead and see you Other Shore World!"

Hai Zhu took half a step back, and his body under the burqa underwent a change that went against common sense.

His fat and heavy body seemed to have lost weight, and his feet slowly lifted off the ground.

He slowly floated into the night sky, his posture as light as a balloon being pulled upward by an invisible thread.

In the blink of an eye, the round figure blended into the shadows high in the sky, turning into a small black dot and quickly moving away from the periphery.

Until it completely disappears into the depths of the clouds where the Neon Lights light cannot shine.

Lu Tianming raised his head, looked at the direction in which Hai Zhu was flying, and stood for a long time.

The strong wind blew over the top of the building, making the hem of his shirt rustle.

"Whether it is the real Savior or not, I will naturally judge it myself when I see it."

He recited something coldly in his heart, then withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards Iron Door leading downstairs.

On the empty rooftop, only the howling cold wind and the endless hustle and bustle of the city below were left.
