My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

859 Finally Arrived at the Prosperous and Unfamiliar Hope City! Part 2

After the burning sensation in his stomach disappeared, Feng Long hiccupped with satisfaction.

He said sentimentally, “After tonight’s meal, I’ll get off the train tomorrow and return to the front line with my team. I’ve no idea when we’ll have a chance to get together and enjoy chatting over drinks like this again!”

“What’s wrong? Is the battle with the Million Dwarves Country tight?” Su Mo asked curiously as he nibbled on the well-seasoned chicken legs.

The relationship with other territories still could be reconciled, but the relationship with the Million Dwarves Country had no room for discussion ever since the ambush on Black Stone Base Camp.

!!

There must have been countless conflicts between the territories during their development stages in the past seven years. It was to the point where they were arch-enemies that could not bear each other.

“Not really. The dwarves have lost their support and are only left with their strange technologies. It’ll be hard for them to make a counterattack against us.

“The only problem is that they’re large in numbers and widely scattered. We’ll have to concentrate our forces to fight against them with a disadvantage in numbers.

“Otherwise, the battlefield will be too scattered, and once another foreign race seizes the opportunity to attack, we definitely won’t be able to afford the loss.”

Feng Long shook his head and briefly explained the territory’s situation.

However, some things were military secrets, and he could not explain them clearly, making Su Mo slightly puzzled.

Still, Su Mo was able to vaguely grasp the general situation.

The territory was worry-free for the time being, and the probability of their opponents’ counterattacking was very small. Thus, they could gradually conquer enemy territory.

“That’s good. It’ll be fine if they don’t go berserk.”

Su Mo swallowed the chicken in his mouth and casually replied, “What about the others, like the demon clan and ents? They haven’t shown up yet…”

Gulp.

Before finishing the sentence, Su Mo realized his mistake and quickly stopped speaking.

Although the second warning would not cause the mission to fail and get him kicked out of the ruin, the reward would still be deducted by half.

Unexpectedly, the game did not issue a warning this time.

Throughout the entire carriage, there was only the sound of Feng Long, who was choking on his mouthful of braised beef and coughing up tears.

“What…what…what did you just say?!!”

Feng Long ignored the uncomfortable feeling in his chest and abdomen, quickly sipped some sake, and glanced at Su Mo with scorching eyes.

Despite his countless attempts, he failed to pry information from Su Mo throughout the day.

He had already concluded that it would take at least three to five months after Su Mo entered the territory for him to get anything out of him.

However…

“How do you know about the demon clan and ents? Do you have news about Su…Su Mo?!!”

Feng Long fixed his eyes on Su Mo’s face after stating his question and tried to observe his micro-expression changes.

Unfortunately, Su Mo knew that if he answered, the game would sense that he was trying to reveal his identity. Therefore, he no longer dared to continue the topic.

Su Mo thought about it for a while and picked up his cup.

“Feng Long, come back to me in six months if you trust me. Now isn’t the time yet.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there are some things that I just can’t tell you!”

“Huh? You can’t tell?”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Feng Long’s nervous expression suddenly eased. Then, his eyes filled with a bit of relief and hope.

People were most afraid of having hope and then losing it.

He was already satisfied to have found a genius that got along with him and had very similar views as him on this trip.

He did not dare to think about anything else or ask for anything more.

After all, they could not find the slightest trace of Su Mo when they dispatched 30,000 people from the territory to thoroughly search Great Mountain.

Even by trying his luck, the chances of finding Su Mo were incredibly slim.

“I’ll send Wang Quan to deliver my seal to you before you get off the train tomorrow.

“It’s still the same words, don’t use it if you can. The territory’s talent assessment seems to be done once a year, but even I am unaware of the people in charge of the assessments.

“With your abilities, making certain accomplishments won’t be hard. However, there is one important thing that you must keep in mind…”

After hesitating for a while, Feng Long still splurted out the words.

“Know your limits!

“Youzong, we could guarantee a hundred percent loyalty from everyone in the territory in the past when there were only a few people. However, as our popularity grew, the community grew much more complicated.

“In actual honesty, our territory is not entirely united!

“To accomplish your own achievements, you must remember that it is better to stand on a side earlier than to be indecisive. Offending one party sometimes might not be a bad thing.”

Feng Long gave a few perplexing pieces of advice and picked up the bottle of sake to pour into his cup.

Not until the night fell did his lonely figure stagger back to his office.

Watching Feng Long’s figure, Su Mo was urged to say something.

Ultimately, he could only let out a deep sigh.
