Chen Ping glanced at him a few times, and seeing that he was only focused on smoking, he looked away. Then he sat on the bed and stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
Hmm, Chen Ping suddenly realized that the mission in this secret realm didn't seem difficult for him at all. After all, his magic power wasn't sealed, and now as long as he knew what the deadly poison looked like, he could quickly find it with his divine sense.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know what the deadly virus drug looks like, its size and shape, and his divine sense can't distinguish it either.
After all, when using divine sense to search for any object, there must be a reference point.
Liu Zhuang then walked over and said to Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, what do you think we should do next to find out about the Wild Tide?"
Chen Ping: "Huh? Ah, Liu Zhuang, what did you just say?"
Liu Zhuang was speechless for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "So, how should we gather information about the Wild Tide?"
Liu Zhuang plopped down on the pristine white bed, crossed his arms, and looked at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping: "Oh, this? Well, it's not too troublesome. Is the person in charge's room downstairs?"
Seeing Liu Zhuang nod, Chen Ping continued, "Here, this is for you."
Puff!!
Liu Zhuang picked it up and saw that it was a cup that looked like a disposable cup, black, with one or two of them connected by a black line.
Liu Zhuang asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Chen Ping: "Oh, an eavesdropping device, a black microphone. You put one on the ground, opening down, and put one to your ear. It will allow you to clearly hear the sounds below."
This is a little gadget that Chen Ping created directly using his magic power. Its function is that simple. Does it have ears?
"Oh, is that amazing? I'll have to try it out."
After saying that, Liu Zhuang immediately got off the bed, placed one on the ground and the other to his ear, and began to listen.
Chen Ping glanced down and saw that the person was still smoking.
Liu Zhuang: "Holy crap, Chen Ping, this thing of yours is amazing! It can even hear the slightest sound like someone smoking?"
Chen Ping smiled upon hearing this, then lay down on the bed to rest. After all, it was only the first day, and there were still nine days to go, so there was no rush.
Liu Zhuang glanced at Chen Ping, then looked at the high-tech gadget in his hand. Oh right, he could listen while lying down, so why was he squatting on the ground to listen? It's really a bit silly.
With that thought in mind, Liu Zhuang lay down on the bed, put the black microphone to his ear, and started waiting. Unfortunately, all he heard so far was the sound of smoking, oh, and the sound of a lighter.
Liu Zhuang counted, and the person in charge below had already smoked more than a dozen cigarettes. That was really extravagant. You know, after the cataclysm, cigarettes became very expensive, and now they are sold by the stick.
......
As time passed and night quietly fell, the Happy 101 Fortress was adorned with countless lights, making it exceptionally beautiful. Inside the Gaode Tavern in the fortress, Chen Ping was resting with his eyes closed, enjoying a moment of peace, while Liu Zhuang, who was also inside, had unknowingly drifted off to sleep, a perfectly natural state for a weary person.
However, the black communication tube that Chen Ping conjured with his magic remained firmly in place, pressed against his ear, ready to capture any important information at any time.
Suddenly, a deafening slam of a door shattered the tranquility. Liu Zhuang was startled awake, his eyes snapping open. He instinctively looked toward the door. Although he didn't see anything unusual at first, he immediately realized that the door slamming was likely related to important intelligence that was about to be transmitted through the communication tube.
Liu Zhuang became alert, listening intently to the whispers coming from the black microphone, while simultaneously taking out his old-fashioned recording device to transcribe the mysterious words. As the conversation deepened, Liu Zhuang's brows furrowed, clearly indicating that the content was of great importance, which made him increasingly anxious.
After the sound of a door closing was heard again through the microphone and then fell completely silent—even the slightest sounds of breathing and the extinguishing of a pipe disappeared—Liu Zhuang's expression became even more serious.
Without hesitation, he took out his phone and quickly dialed the city lord's number.
After a few beeps, the call was quickly connected on the other end.
"Lord of the city, something terrible has happened!" Liu Zhuang reported anxiously.
At this moment, Chen Ping was also startled by the noise. He slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Zhuang. Although they didn't exchange words, Chen Ping could sense the urgency of the situation from Liu Zhuang's expression. However, Chen Ping did not interrupt Liu Zhuang and slowly closed his eyes again, seemingly silently receiving information.
Liu Zhuang recounted everything he had just overheard to the city lord in one breath. After the call ended, he held his breath, awaiting the city lord's next instructions. About ten seconds later, the city lord responded. Liu Zhuang hung up the phone, decisively stood up, and prepared to wake Chen Ping, who was still meditating with his eyes closed, to face this sudden crisis together.
However, Chen Ping didn't wait for Liu Zhuang to come and call him; he got up on his own and looked at Liu Zhuang, asking, "What's wrong?"
Liu Zhuang: "Let's go, go down and arrest them. The situation is urgent. We'll talk as we go."
Chen Ping scanned the area with his divine sense and found that there weren't many people on the fourth floor. It seemed that Huang Chao already knew he had been discovered, or he had already begun his operation.
As expected, after Liu Zhuang and Chen Ping went down, they checked each room one by one, only to find them empty and deserted.
Liu Zhuang: "Damn it! They all ran away."
Chen Ping: "Don't worry, call your captain or Lord Hua. There should be people keeping watch outside."
Liu Zhuang quickly pulled out his phone and dialed the captain's number. After the call connected, Liu Zhuang anxiously inquired about the current situation and whether anyone had escaped. The captain replied that some suspects had indeed escaped the city during the chaos, but the outer patrol teams had received reports and were making every effort to apprehend them.
On the other side, Lord Hua also received a report on the situation in Liuzhuang. He calmly issued a series of emergency instructions, requiring all relevant personnel to immediately activate the emergency plan, block the surrounding main roads, and mobilize the monitoring system to track the target's movements.
As Liu Zhuang ran down the slope, he complained to Chen Ping, "It's only been a few minutes, and you've already finished running?"
"Chen Ping, do you know?! Huang Chao has actually gone so far as to bring in a virus vaccine? And it seems like he's planning to release it? He's insane! If he succeeds, who knows how many people will die."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping blinked. He wasn't worried anymore. Judging from his Happy 101 Secret Realm mission, the deadly virus drug would take at least ten days to take effect. Since it was a deadly virus, it would definitely take effect quickly. So even if it was released early, it would be on the 8th or 9th day.
It's still early.
