Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 885 Rootless Duckweed

During this period of time, Guan Rou calmed down and thought about many things.

The reason why she asked Wen Xiuyuan to help find Ning Fan was because she had already figured out her future.

The Santong Cooperation Zone is gone, and District F is gone too.

Currently, the only person Guan Rou can rely on is Wen Xiuyuan.

Fortunately, Wen Xiuyuan holds a very high status in Yecheng.

Not only does he have irreplaceable scientific research capabilities, he is also Ning Fan's father-in-law.

Guan Rou could probably see Ning Fan's current dominance in Yecheng.

This means that it is very easy to ensure your own safety without making any mistakes.

Now that the survival problem is solved, the next thing to consider is what you want.

To be honest, Guan Rou didn’t know exactly what she wanted before.

If I had to say...

She just wanted to help Xia Qing realize her dream.

What Xia Qing wants to achieve is her ideal.

So, she wanted Su Wanjun to die.

Now Su Wanjun is dead, but Xia Qing is also dead. For a moment, this made Guan Rou lose the direction of her life.

During her time in Yecheng, Guan Rou would occasionally go out for a walk.

She found that although the people in Yecheng were busy, they did not have the oppressive feeling that people in the Sandong Cooperation Zone had.

This place is clearly the same as the former Three-Tong Cooperation Zone, with strange beasts outside.

It can even be said that this wall is far less solid than the [top wall].

Why are people here so optimistic?

Guan Rou had talked to some people.

Most people gave her the same answer.

This answer surprised Guan Rou.

"Commander Ning will protect us."

Guan Rou was really confused.

She had met Ning Fan.

I have also witnessed Ning Fan's shrewdness.

Besides, the man who can be entrusted with an important task by Xia Qing is definitely not a mediocre person.

But Guan Rou has also seen many strong people.

To be precise, she has seen the strongest person in this world.

Su Wanjun.

Even Su Wanjun in the Sandong Cooperation Zone did not have such a reputation.

In the Sandong Cooperation Zone, many people are afraid of Su Wanjun.

But if you ask how many people would say good things about him, there aren't many.

So how did Ning Fan manage to make so many people fear him?

Guan Rou began to feel curious about Ning Fan.

In the following time, she began to use her own way to inquire about Ning Fan's past through various channels.

Of course, there are a lot of exaggerations in this process.

For example, when the owner of a fine dining restaurant mentioned Ning Fan...

"You mean Commander Ning? I know him all too well!"

"When he first debuted, he was able to fight [Thousand Souls Ye Liang] for three hundred rounds!"

"My great-grandmother's cousin's third son's uncle was in Area F27 at the time. He saw with his own eyes the two men fighting in the area. It was a bloody fight!"

"Our Commander's wife fell in love with Commander Ning at first sight because of his outstanding demeanor!"

"Later, Commander Ning killed Yang Chikov in a matter of minutes in order to help F District reclaim F70 District!"

“It’s even more incredible when we get to Yefengkou!”

"When Alfonso from District E and Ernst from District G heard Commander Ning was coming, they were so scared that their legs were shaking!"

"Who is Commander Kening? I want to kill you, and even surrendering won't do anything!"

"On the Peaceful Day, Commander Ning directly led a million troops..."

When Guan Rou heard this, she threw down two hundred solas and left.

Even if Region F concentrated all its forces together, there wouldn't be a fucking million of them.

But even so, Guan Rou could still feel from these messages the admiration that the people of Yecheng had for Ning Fan.

As for Guan Rou, Xia Qing is no longer with us. Perhaps she has subsequent plans, but she is not aware of them.

In that case, then from now on...

You can try it yourself and live for yourself.

What she wanted to do most now was to see with her own eyes what kind of person Ning Fan was.

After having this idea, Guan Rou began to consider her own advantages.

Guan Rou is confident in her spiritual servant's characteristics and believes that she has absolute value.

If it weren't for this spiritual servant characteristic, Su Wanjun wouldn't have paid attention to me at the time.

Secondly, and most importantly, she has lived in the Santong Cooperation Zone for more than ten to twenty years.

Because she was very close to Su Wanjun, Guan Rou also had a deep understanding of the strange beasts.

Now that the Three-Tong Cooperation Zone is gone, most of the people who have actually dealt with the strange beasts have died in the explosion.

Therefore, she, the "survivor", became the person who knew the most about the strange beasts.

Sure enough, after she said this, she could clearly feel Ning Fan's interest.

"I know you've lived in the Santong Cooperation Zone for a long time."

Ning Fan nodded calmly: "But I also got a lot of information about strange beasts from Ye Liang before."

"General Ye naturally knows more about exotic beasts than I do."

Guan Rou is no longer as easily moved by emotions as before.

At this moment, she looked quite calm.

"However, the information left by General Ye is probably not complete."

Guan Rou was very polite: "Commander Ning, if General Ye were still alive and in Yecheng, I believe my value would be greatly reduced. After all, he has been fighting against strange beasts for many years, and most of my knowledge of strange beasts is hearsay."

"But it's different now. General Ye is gone, and there's no one around you who has actually come into contact with strange beasts."

Guan Rou extended her index finger and pointed at herself: "In comparison, I can provide some additional information that is not in the document you have."

Ning Fan did not deny Guan Rou's words this time.

In fact, the so-called "value" that Guan Rou mentioned does exist in Ning Fan.

After just a moment's thought, Ning Fan smiled.

"What does Miss Guan want?"

"I said, I want to fit in here."

Guan Rou is very serious.

Ning Fan didn't make a direct promise to her, but continued to ask, "I don't quite understand what Miss Guan means by integration."

"I heard that Commander Ning is a very good general to his subordinates."

Guan Rou looked outside: "I also want to find a home of my own."

Ning Fan felt that Guan Rou didn't seem to be lying.

Guan Rou turned her head, her eyes dimmed a little, and her smile became more bitter.

"Commander Ning, to be honest, I'm very confused about my future."

“I don’t know what position I should put myself in next, let alone how to live my life.”

"Rootless duckweed... Do you understand?"

"Although I have always lived in the Santong Cooperation Zone, but... I never seem to have a sense of security."

“I want to fit in here.”

"I think……"

“Give yourself a place to really settle down.”
