safe house.
Duanmu style room.
"Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock."
Hearing Xu Qing's questioning, Duanmu Feng said lightly.
"So urgent?!"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and her face showed surprise again. She didn't expect that Duan Mufeng would leave early tomorrow morning.
"Some things cannot be delayed for too long."
Duan Mufeng nodded slightly and said slowly.
He was not referring to the trip to Kyoto, but to Dong Mingrui's rebellion. Human nature is greedy and cannot stand the test the most. If Dong Mingrui continues to be allowed to do things secretly, more and more people will be complicit.
If there were more and more betrayers by then, he was worried that he would no longer be able to lift the butcher knife in his hand.
Although he is not afraid of killing, he is not a murderous person. Some things are best done as soon as possible.
Xu Qing didn't quite understand Duan Mufeng's answer, but when Duan Mufeng didn't explain further, she stopped asking. After a moment of hesitation, she lay in Duan Mufeng's arms again and hugged her tightly. Duanmu Feng.
Before leaving, she wanted to stay with him as much as possible. After all, if we say goodbye tomorrow, she doesn't know when the next meeting will be.
At the same time, she silently prayed for Duanmu Feng in her heart, hoping that he would return safely one day and that everything would go well.
...
Early the next morning.
The sun has not yet fully risen in the sky, but a large number of people have already gathered in front of the safe house building. Three hundred elite Tianlong Guards are lined up neatly, with eyes fixed on their faces and iron-blooded expressions on their faces.
The crowd of onlookers looked at such a huge scene and couldn't help but began to whisper. They had already heard the news that Duan Mufeng was about to leave for Kyoto, but they didn't know what Duan Mufeng was going to do with so many people. It seemed that Duan Mufeng was going to Kyoto. It seemed like he was about to start a big battle with someone.
Dong Mingrui, Yao Yongkang, Lei Ming and others were also standing in the crowd, but they did not stand together. There were other survivors among them.
Elders such as Ren Feifei and Lu Zhengming were also standing in front of the building, waiting for the people they were about to see off.
After a long time, footsteps were heard. As Tang Jun and Wu Jun quickly walked out of the building, Duan Mufeng and Xu Qing slowly appeared in everyone's sight hand in hand.
"I'm coming…"
Seeing Duan Mufeng appear, the crowd of onlookers immediately stopped talking and became quiet, looking at Duan Mufeng who was now on the steps in front of the building.
Duanmu Feng stood on the steps with an expressionless expression, his eyes slowly sweeping through the crowd, his face showing an aura of calmness and self-importance.
Xu Qing wisely let go of Duan Mufeng's hand, but did not leave. She just stood beside Duan Mufeng seriously, with a slightly reserved expression.
She has never seen a scene like today.
The three hundred elite Tianlong Guards arranged neatly were enough to intimidate anyone.
"Feng Shuai, you are suddenly going to Kyoto. What happened?"
"Yes, if you leave, what will we do? What if mutants and mutant beasts attack the City of Hope?"
"That's right. With Feng Shuai in charge, no monsters or monsters dare to show up. If Feng Shuai leaves, what will we do?"
A survivor in the crowd said something worried to Duanmu Feng, and then a stone stirred up waves, and the survivors began to worry.
In their hearts, Duan Mufeng is the anchor of the City of Hope and all their hope for living. Once Duan Mufeng leaves, their lives will be threatened.
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Jun hurriedly took two steps forward, waved to the crowd, and said loudly.
After hearing Tang Jun's stop, the noisy crowd gradually returned to calm.
"Don't worry, everyone, Feng Shuai won't be gone for long."
"And during the period when Feng Shuai is away, Captain Wu will lead the Tianlong Guard to continue to protect the City of Hope and protect everyone."
Seeing that the crowd became quiet, Tang Jun looked at everyone seriously and said.
"That's right! Please rest assured, I will do my best to protect the City of Hope and everyone, and I will never let anything happen to you!"
Wu Jun also came out at this time, looked at everyone, and said loudly.
After hearing what Tang Jun and Wu Jun said, the survivors present gradually relaxed and lost their initial nervousness.
"Feng Shuai, I wonder what you are going to do in Kyoto? Before I took the Qingfeng and arrived at Hubei City, all the major provinces and cities were in chaos, especially Kyoto."
"You suddenly announced that you are leaving, and everyone is very worried."
Dong Mingrui slowly walked out of the crowd at this time, looked at Duan Mufeng with concern and said.
"It's nothing, I just need to go to Kyoto to do some things. It will take at least half a month, and I can be back in a few days at the fastest."
"As for any worries about whether it's dangerous or not, there's no need to worry. I have three hundred elite Tianlong Guards with me. Even if mutants and mutant beasts from several surrounding provinces appear, we can still handle it!"
Duan Mufeng smiled and said confidently.
"That's good. I hope Feng Shuai has a safe journey and returns soon."
Dong Mingrui smiled and nodded, saying sincerely.
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Duanmu Feng smiled and said.
Listening to Dong Mingrui's unintentional words, Lei Ming, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but frown, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
To be honest, when he knew that Feng Shuai was going to Kyoto early this morning, he was really surprised and even very confused. After all, the backyard was about to catch fire.
But when Tang Jun found him quickly, he understood everything.
"Feng Shuai..."
At this moment, Yao Yongkang, who was hiding in the crowd, squeezed out and came to the steps with a smile on his face.
"Do you also have something to tell me?"
Duan Mufeng looked at Yao Yongkang, smiled and said.
"No, no, no, how dare I?"
"I want to say that although I have resigned from the research base now, Feng Shuai can rest assured that I am just a brick and can be moved wherever needed!"
"After you leave, whether it is a research base or somewhere else, if you can be of use to me, Yao Yongkang, please feel free to ask!"
"Don't worry, Feng Shuai, we will wait for you to come back and we will never cause trouble."
Yao Yongkang waved his hands repeatedly and said loudly while looking at Duan Mufeng and the crowd around him, with an extremely serious look on his face.
"Okay, regarding your work arrangements, I will give you an answer when I come back."
Duan Mufeng nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.
"Hey, thank you Feng Shuai!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yongkang hurriedly raised his hands and said, the smile on his face getting brighter.
Seeing Yao Yongkang's beaming smile, some of the people around him couldn't help but laugh.
Although Yao Yongkang is very annoying, his behavior sometimes makes people laugh or cry, especially the way he looks in front of Duan Mufeng.
"Feng Shuai, it's almost time, it's time to set off."
At this time, Tang Jun slowly came to Duanmu Feng and whispered a reminder.
Duan Mufeng nodded, withdrew his gaze from the crowd, and turned to look at Xu Qing beside him.
Seeing Duan Mufeng looking at her, Xu Qing also turned around and forced out a strong smile, but her eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
"I have to go now."
Duan Mufeng looked at Xu Qing and said softly.
"Yeah, I know, let's go, be safe on the road, and come back early."
Xu Qing nodded and spoke softly, her voice choked with sobs.
Duan Mufeng didn't say any more words of farewell, and just put Xu Qing's arms directly into his arms in public, hugging them tightly.
The moment she was hugged tightly, Xu Qing felt a burst of warmth, and a tear rolled down the corner of her eyes.
After a brief hug, Duan Mufeng let go of Xu Qing, nodded towards Tang Jun, and then looked at Wu Jun beside him.
Wu Jun didn't say anything more, he just nodded heavily, saying nothing.
Duanmu Feng didn't say anything. After nodding slightly, he walked straight down the steps.
"Set off!"
Tang Jun gave a sharp order to the three neatly arranged elite Tianlong Guards.
Immediately afterwards, all the assembled Tianlong Guards boarded the vehicles, and dozens of Saber-toothed Tiger armored vehicles and seven or eight vans drove toward the city gate in the direction of Kyoto.
Everyone stood there, silently watching the convoy gradually drive into the distance.
At this time, the smiles from the heart of Dong Mingrui and Yao Yongkang, who were standing in the crowd, had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of cruelty and coldness.
Immediately afterwards, the two looked at each other and slowly withdrew from the crowd...
