High-tech Zone.
Reagent R&D base.
"Deputy Director Yao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad?"
A young man with a flattering smile asked with a smile while pouring tea for Yao Yongkang who was sitting behind the desk.
"Hmph! Damn deputy director!"
"If you like it, you can be the deputy director!"
Yao Yongkang snorted coldly and said with disdain, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.
"Hey, I don't dare. Besides, I'm not qualified."
"Who made you so angry? Tell me and I will vent your anger for you!"
The young man waved his hands quickly and asked in confusion.
"Who else could it be?!"
"She's not that stinky woman Ren Feifei!"
Yao Yongkang said through gritted teeth.
"Oh...Director Ren?"
After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"What?! Just now you were angry for me, and now you're scared?!"
Yao Yongkang glanced at the young man coldly and asked contemptuously.
"Hehe... Director Ren has Feng Shuai backing him up. Looking at the entire high-tech zone, who is not afraid of her?"
The young man said with a grimace and embarrassment.
"Hmph! It's because Duanmu Feng protects her that she dares to be so arrogant!"
When Yao Yongkang heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table hard and said with a look of reluctance.
"Deputy Director Yao, don't you dare say such nonsense..."
The young man was stunned for a moment, waved his hand hurriedly, and said nervously. After speaking, he did not forget to take a cautious look at the door.
Yao Yongkang frowned, knowing that his words were too straightforward. He glanced at the door and coughed nervously.
In the entire Hi-tech Zone, no one dared to talk about Duan Mufeng behind his back. Even saying one more word would likely lead to death. This was the consensus reached by everyone without consultation.
Because in everyone's hearts, Feng Shuai is the savior and the hope of the human race.
Without Feng Shuai, everyone might die in this terrifying apocalypse at any time.
"By the way, Deputy Director Yao, why has Director Ren provoked you recently?"
The young man seemed to be out of curiosity. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask.
"Why else?! She has always disliked me and never took me seriously!"
"Now I actually let my assistant step on my head! For a small assistant, all major and minor matters in the base must be approved by her! Where do you put me, the deputy director, in my position?!"
"I am nominally the deputy director and the second person in charge of the base, but what can I do to make the decision?! Who doesn't know that the second person in charge is her, Luo Yiyi?!"
Yao Yongkang gritted his teeth and said harshly.
It's okay not to say it, but when he said it, his face turned red with anger.
"Oh, Director Yao, no matter what you are doing, wouldn't you be happy to have someone take care of those miscellaneous things for you? Even if Luo Yiyi becomes more and more powerful, who in the entire base would not dare to give you a little favor? "
"At least in the eyes of us, you are the boss of the base, and no one else can do anything for you!"
The young man smiled and brought the tea cup to Yao Yongkang and said flatteringly.
After hearing the young man's words, Yao Yongkang finally showed a very helpful smile on his angry face. He reached out to take the tea cup and took a slow sip.
At this moment, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the corridor, and someone was hurried out.
"Feng Shuai is back!"
"Go and have a look!"
Along with the footsteps, a lot of talking came into the room from outside the door.
"Once the heating comes, the glacier season will be easier to endure. This time Feng Shuai successfully won the hearts of the people."
The young man looked out the window at the staff running outside the base and muttered to himself.
After listening to the young man's words, Yao Yongkang slowly reached out and touched the radiator behind him, which gradually felt a touch of warmth. He couldn't help but frown, as if he was thinking about something.
...
In front of the safe house, as an armored vehicle slowly stopped, Duan Mufeng took the lead in opening the door and slowly walked out.
Many people gathered in front of the entire safe house and outside the inner and outer fortifications. When they saw Duan Mufeng get out of the car, they all clapped and shouted in unison, saying all kinds of words of gratitude.
There are staff from various places who have been specially recruited, and there are also survivors living in their respective communities.
They were used to seeing Duan Mufeng covered in blood, and they didn't realize that Duan Mufeng was seriously injured.
"Feng Shuai, I have received the news that heating has been restored in the entire Hi-tech Zone. Everyone is very happy. We don't have to suffer the cold anymore!"
Wu Jun came up quickly and said excitedly.
For everyone living in the Hi-tech Zone, they finally understand the true meaning of these four words: providing help in times of need.
"That's good. You should take someone to check it carefully. If you find any areas where the heating is not normal, repair it immediately."
Duan Mufeng nodded and said calmly, without any expression on his face.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
"Huh? Where are the others? How..."
Wu Jun immediately agreed respectfully, but he soon discovered that three cars had gone out, but only one came back. Besides Duan Mufeng, only Tang Jun and a Tianlong Guard got out of the car.
After hearing Wu Jun's words, Duan Mufeng's face immediately darkened and he said nothing.
The faces of Tang Jun and the other Tianlong Guard also became a little ugly, and their eyebrows were full of sadness.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jun immediately understood something.
"You are hurt?!"
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly walked out of the crowd and quickly came to Duan Mufeng's side, asking with concern on her face.
"Don't make any noise!"
"Let's talk after we get in!"
Duan Mufeng frowned and hurriedly told Xu Qing, then glanced at Wu Jun, walked straight through the crowd, and walked into the building amidst the sounds of gratitude.
Wu Jun agreed and immediately followed, the excited smile on his face disappearing in an instant.
Xu Qing stood there, looking at Duan Mufeng who walked into the building, worry evident in her expression.
For her, Duanmu Feng's safety always comes first.
Top floor.
Duanmu Feng's room.
When Wu Jun heard from Tang Jun's mouth a series of encounters that Duan Mufeng and his party had in the ancient tomb, his whole face turned pale.
Although he did not experience it personally, he could actually feel how dangerous it was at that time.
The sacrifice of nine elite Tianlong Guards also made him feel very heavy, especially because Feng Shuai was seriously injured.
"Feng Shuai, what about your injury..."
"Would you like Sun Hui to come over and take a look?"
After Wu Jun composed himself, he asked with concern.
"No, no more rumors about the ancient tomb are allowed. Everyone is already on tenterhooks. Just pretend you don't know anything."
Duanmu Feng waved his hand and said lightly.
Wu Jun nodded, said nothing more, and slowly left the room with Tang Jun and the Tianlong Guard.
Although Tang Jun told Wu Jun what he had experienced in the ancient tomb, Duanmu Feng's left arm was deliberately not mentioned because it was too unbelievable.
And he had already given an order not to allow the Tianlong Guard to tell anyone about it.
He didn't want any of the survivors to treat Feng Shuai like a monster, lest someone would become suspicious of Feng Shuai and no longer trust him.
After everyone left, Duanmu Feng slowly took off his shirt, revealing the place on his chest where he was stabbed by Queen Eto's dagger.
The injuries on his back that were affected by the explosion were gradually healing on their own, but the sword wounds on his chest were healing very slowly and were already turning purple and festering.
Apparently the dagger was coated with poison!
Unexpectedly, the banshee was actually covered in poison. The dagger was poisonous, and the golden snake was poisonous. Fortunately, they evacuated in time, otherwise the Tang army might have been trapped in it.
After checking the festering wound, Duanmu Feng took out the scalpel he had always carried with him, lit the lighter and roasted it for a while, and then directly used the scalpel to gouge out the piece of rotten flesh around the wound!
The pain of cutting flesh that ordinary people couldn't bear, in Duanmu Feng's case, he only felt a slight slight pain.
He has long been unable to feel pain, so he spares no effort every time he encounters a strong enemy. Except for death, no external force can harm him.
As the piece of rotten flesh was removed, the wound from the sword began to glow with life again, and the wound slowly scabbed and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This inhuman self-healing ability is the fundamental reason why Duanmu Feng is so powerful.
But he is not sure that if he encounters an alien species again in the future, with his current combat power, he can escape the ending of his previous life...
