Half a month later.
World Zero, by the sea.
On a sheer cliff, Zhang Ping sat cross-legged at the edge, fishing with a rod.
He had found this perfect fishing spot a week earlier and had spent every day since then here. As for the Rescue Team headquarters, he had left everything to Su Jingyao and the others.
Suddenly, a manhole cover appeared on the open ground behind Zhang Ping. It opened, and Zhang Shouzhong poked his head out of the Sewer. "Zhang Ping, how many fish have you caught? Don't tell me you've come up empty again."

This was the ability that had filled the final gap in the Rescue Team's plans.
Now Zhang Ping only needed to make enough Weapon Contracts,
