What could possibly happen in Chapter 560?
"By the way, where is Zheng Fangzhou?" Xu Si hadn't noticed him when his senses swept over the two cities beneath his feet.
"Old Zheng left two days ago; he must have gone back to the sea."
As Fu Xiaojian spoke, he was leaning against the wooden railing of the World Tree, his gaze sweeping across the direction of the new city and looking towards the distant south.
"They left in quite a hurry!"
"You went back?" Xu Si's starry eyes narrowed slightly.
"They said there was a problem with the underwater central control center, and they can't get in touch with them." Fu Xiaojian's brows furrowed slightly.
He left a message before he left.
"What?"
He said, "If he doesn't come back within two weeks, let the City of Fire go its own way."
Xu Si remained silent for a moment, then slowly rotated the Nirvana in his palm, emitting a faint buzzing sound, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.
"This guy is still just going to give up; he doesn't have the courage to break things down and rebuild."
"Did he say what the situation was?"
"He didn't say." Fu Xiaojian shook his head.
I didn't ask any further questions.
"Official survival bases all have independent operating mechanisms. For him to leave in such a hurry, either some unexpected major event has occurred, or..."
Fu Xiaojian paused here, his gaze meeting Xu Si's.
"Or perhaps someone doesn't want him to stay on the ground any longer," Xu Si continued.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Jiao Jiao glanced at Xu Si, then at Fu Xiaojian, her brows furrowing. "What kind of riddles are you two playing? What do you mean someone doesn't want him to stay on the surface? Isn't he an official?"
"It's precisely because they're government officials that it's more troublesome," Xu Si said.
"Where there are people, there is conflict; where there is conflict, there are disagreements. Zheng Fangzhou has lived in the City of Fire for so long that what happened on the ground has long been transmitted back to the underwater central hub through the Bluebird."
"You mean... the official...?" Jiao Jiao's eyes widened.
"It might not be that serious, but it's not far off." Fu Xiaojian remained worried.
"Are there any official survival bases that have established regular contact with us?" Xu Si asked again.
"For now, we only have Survival Base 012, but it's too far away. Without you, there's little practical value between us!"
"It seems something really has happened!" Xu Si said with certainty.
Xu Si has been gone for so long, enough time for the authorities to make a decision.
It now seems that some of them have chosen to let Xu Si help them save face.
Xu Si approached the official survival base and exposed the City of Fire and the World Tree to the authorities.
It's all to save face for the authorities, so that even if they only set up one or two survival bases, they can at least maintain a semblance of dignity.
However, it is clear that the authorities made the least desirable choice.
Do they think Xu Si can't find them?
"What could possibly happen?" Jiao Jiao didn't care. With Xu Si, a Sequence Nine, by her side, she wasn't worried at all.
"Yeah! What could possibly happen?"
Even Jiao Jiao can see the situation clearly, so why can't some people see it?
"Old Zheng has been in the City of Fire for so long, how could those old guys in the Undersea Central Hub not know the situation here? The fact that they could still recall him shows that they have already made up their minds. It's just that Old Zheng knew the reason but still ran back, which is extremely unwise."
"You mean...they want to keep quiet?" Jiao Jiao asked in surprise.
"It's not necessary to shut them up." Fu Xiaojian shook his head.
Sealing off a Sequence 7 is very difficult, especially underwater, where that's his battlefield.
"You all know Lao Zheng's temperament. He won't stay silent when he goes back. And once the differences are on the table, no one can hold them back."
"Then what should we do?" Jiao Jiao put away her previous nonchalant expression and became serious for the first time.
She got involved in such a big event as soon as Xu Si came back. Does that mean she's still very important?
Actually, it doesn't matter if these things are made public; Fu Xiaojian really wants more people to participate in politics.
People's morale is currently at rock bottom. The more transparent the politics are, the more secure people's hearts will be.
However, it seems that apart from Shao Bing, no one else had such thoughts.
After the caravan solved their food and clothing problems, Su Su, Chen Pei, Ta Shan, Lin Zhennan, and others focused all their attention on improving their ranking.
Their journey of migration made them realize that strength is the ultimate key to everything.
With Xu Si as their target to catch up with, they never slacked off in the slightest.
"Old Zheng may be a bit taciturn, but he's a good guy. We can't really let him be locked up by our own people, can we?" Jiao Jiao said, but her gaze was fixed on Xu Si.
"Perhaps he didn't want to cause trouble for the City of Fire!" Fu Xiaojian added casually.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent for a moment.
The wind blew through the branches of the World Tree, carrying the scent of freshly turned soil from the distant farmland, and ruffled the stray hairs on Xu Si's forehead.
The Sword of Kingship behind him hummed in its sheath, as if sensing the sharp edge in its master's emotions.
"Yi-yi," Xu Si called out in his mind.
"Hmm." Yi Yi's voice came quickly, with a hint of mischief, clearly indicating that she already knew what Xu Si wanted to ask.
"I have marked the coordinates of the underwater base, as well as the coordinates of the other seventeen official survival bases of Great Xia."
Xu Si seemed to understand the implied meaning.
Are there other survival bases in other countries?
"There are a total of seven other survival bases in various countries."
"Is there a certain pattern to their existence? For example, are they still roughly within their respective territories?" Xu Si asked telepathically.
For example, the Russian bear's base is roughly in the north...
"The distribution of these foreign bases does not have obvious regional characteristics, and the closest one is only about 700 kilometers away from the City of Fire." During this period, Yi Yi has also done a lot of things.
Xu Si frowned; this could no longer be explained by simple plate tectonics.
He had previously suspected that someone had put Earth in a deadly situation, but now it seems that it's not as simple as just putting it in a deadly situation.
"I think I'll go."
Those who understand the times are wise; those who refuse a toast will face a penalty.
"Now?" Fu Xiaojian straightened up.
Shouldn't we have a welcome-back feast since they just got back?
"Perfect timing to test if this brand-new thing works well." Xu Si reached out and lifted the Nirvana from his shoulder. The silver-white disc spun obediently half a circle in his palm, emitting a soft hum.
"I'm going too!" Jiao Jiao immediately said.
"You? Let's see if you can keep up with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Si's figure dissipated, and Jiao Jiao didn't even know which direction to follow.
The reason Xu Si insisted on returning despite the injuries inflicted by the laws was to nip the risks on Earth in the bud.
Now, besides the eerie, there's only this guy in the ocean.
Compared to the bizarre, he felt these guys should be easier to deal with.
If one team doesn't work, then change to another.
