"…In the end, the poor boy sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving Ruth alone."

Sitting on the sofa, watching the movie screen gradually dim, Fang Zheng curled his lips. Looking at his expression, Xiao Hei blinked curiously.

“Isn’t this a very sad love story?”

"It was because the ship sank that it became a tragic love story."

Fang Zheng shrugged disdainfully.

"What kind of person is Jack? Haven't you figured it out yet? He won a ticket by gambling, and then rushed to get on the ship just to go to the New World. He has a spirit of adventure and romance, but he has no plan at all. It's just that the boy is handsome and good at talking, and Ruth was forced by her parents to go on a blind date at that time, and she was in the rebellious period. So the two of them hit it off and got together. What's the truth?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.

"If you change the environment, these two people will never get along. The Titanic is said to be a luxury cruise ship, but in fact, there is not much difference between the cabin and the top cabin. That's why the young lady thought it was romantic to dance and drink on the table with a handsome guy in a crowded crowd. If you change the venue and let her try hard black bread and maggot-infested sausages, she will definitely not think that is romantic."

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"Luckily the Titanic sank. Do you know what would have happened if it hadn't sunk? At best, Rose would have been deceived by Jack, and then she would have started a journey that she thought was very 'romantic'. Then she would have found out that the man next to her couldn't even make money, and they couldn't even afford food and clothing, or even had no place to live. If things went on like this, they would either have a big fight and break up, or she would have gone from being a spoiled young lady to a fat housewife, and every day when she quarreled with her impoverished painter husband, she would say, 'How could I have been so blind as to fall for a loser like you... Get out and buy me a bag of salt!'"

"Wow... Big Brother, you are so real."

Hearing Fang Zheng's complaints, Xiao Hei also showed a look of disbelief.

"It's obviously very romantic..."

"It's because you girls are too romantic that you need me to be more realistic and break your fantasy."

"...Brother, you won't have a girlfriend if you keep doing this."

"Don't worry, I'm so handsome, it's impossible for me not to have a girlfriend..."

“Haha…”

Just when Xiao Hei was speechless due to Fang Zheng's choking, the door of the theater that was originally closed suddenly opened with a "bang". Then, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, Fang Zheng saw Kurumi, Reiya and Shidou Kei trotting over to him. Then Kurumi clenched her hands and stared at him closely.

"Mr. Fang Zheng! Please let us join Tiandao Palace!!"

“…”

Meow meow meow?

Fang Zheng was confused when he heard Hu Tao's sudden request. What was going on?

Fang Zheng was not surprised that Hu Tao and the others knew about the Tian Dao Palace. He did not forbid Xiao Hei and Xia Shi from mentioning the name of the Tian Dao Palace. And these girls were not stupid. After so many days, they must have learned something about their situation.

However, Fang Zheng still looked at Hu Tao curiously and asked.

"What made you think of this suddenly?"

"Because Mr. Fang Zheng, you guys are planning to find the source of this disaster and then eliminate it, right? We want to help too!!"

"this……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. What was this? Did the NPC actively activate the main quest?

To be honest, up to now, Fang Zheng has no idea what he should do. The reason why he chose to study and investigate the virus is mainly because it is the only thing he can do at the moment. If it weren't for Fang Zheng's premonition telling him that there are still things to be done, Fang Zheng would have burned the world into firewood and then patted his butt and went home.

But... now Hu Tao actually took the initiative to tell me this. Could it be that this is the main mission of this world?

"Are you sure you want to help?"

Fang Zheng frowned and looked at Shitang Kei, then at Reiya and Kurumi.

"If that's the case, you have a lot to do even here. Are you sure you want to take the risk? Kurumi, you just woke up not long ago, so you may not understand yet, but Kei and Reiya, you should understand that there are many dangerous kinds of zombies in this world. Even if you two are zombies now and won't be killed so easily, it doesn't mean that you are invincible."

Having said this, Fang Zheng paused and looked at the three people with a serious expression.

"Also, if you want to join the Tiandao Palace, you must obey my command and follow my orders. Lemi, don't you want to find your lost companions, Kurumi? Don't you want to find your good friends, Kei? Let me say something unpleasant. If you see them during the mission, but without my order, you cannot help them even if they are in danger, will you obey my orders?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's merciless question, Hu Tao and Kei were both stunned. After all, they were just high school students. It was easy for them to be full of passion, but the passion only lasted for three minutes. Now that they had calmed down, the three of them couldn't help but hesitate.

"Reality is not a movie, Walnut."

Fang Zheng leaned back on the sofa.

"Movies are romantic, passionate, or innocent, but reality is sometimes not so beautiful. I will indeed help you find your lost companions, but if you work for me, then you must learn to obey my orders first, otherwise, you are likely to affect our actions. Now we are companions traveling together, but if you join the Tiandao Palace, you will be my subordinates... The two are completely different concepts. If you really think it through, it will not be too late to come to me, do you understand?"

"I see...I'll think about it. Sorry."

Hu Tao had calmed down by now. She lowered her head, apologized to Fang Zheng, and then turned around and left with the two of them.

Xiao Hei watched the three people leave with a smile, and then looked at Fang Zheng with interest.

"Hehehe, Sister Hutao and the others came to see you, is it because you are so handsome, big brother?"

"That's only natural, but I want them to know that when judging a person, one should not only look at the surface, but also see the inner qualities..."

“Big Brother…”

"Um?"

"Sometimes I find that you are really shameless..."

"Thanks for the compliment."

In the days that followed, the journey was smooth.

Without the threat of zombies, the sea was unusually calm, but even so, it took Fang Zheng and his team quite a while to reach Saga. On the one hand, it was because they had to go around a long way to get from Yokohama to Saga by boat, and on the other hand, Fang Zheng had not forgotten to turn on the full-band radio to look for survivors along the way. In his opinion, in a place like this, there should be at least a few survivors, but now it seemed... there seemed to be no survivors nearby.

Apart from that, the journey was quite peaceful, but when everyone arrived in Saga and were about to enter the port, the situation changed.

According to Tina's report, the detector detected traces of life activities in Saga's inland sea port.

And...he comes with bad intentions.

"Is he coming with bad intentions?"

Looking at the image on his personal terminal, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. He could clearly see dozens of men wearing bulletproof vests, fully armed, and looking like special forces soldiers, holding weapons and hiding in the shadows. In the lighthouse and other places in the distance, there were even snipers and observers holding sniper rifles.

Fang Zheng didn't know these people's names, but he could tell who they were by looking at the distinct red and white umbrella-shaped patterns on their coats.

It is obvious that the umbrella has come to the door.

"It seems that our broadcasting along the way was not in vain."

Fang Zheng was not surprised that Umbrella would find this place, because the previous broadcast was broadcast on all channels, and he had learned from Reiya, Kei Shidou and Kurumi that there really was a company called Umbrella in this world. If the Umbrella Company in this world was really the same as he knew, they would definitely not let these "survivors" go.

Therefore, the broadcast that Fang Zheng had previously broadcast was not only a search for survivors, but also a bait.

Now it seems that the big deep-sea fish, Umbrella, has finally taken the bait.

Next...it's time to see what they want to do.

"Prepare to dock."

Looking at the pier getting closer and closer, Fang Zheng stretched his hands.

"Get ready for battle. Let's see what these hospitable local residents are going to do to us."
