"What's wrong?"
Duan Mufeng showed a gentle smile, hugged Xu Qing tightly, and asked softly.
Xu Qing didn't answer, she just lay silently in Duan Mufeng's arms and started sobbing.
Feeling the sadness radiating from Xu Qing's whole body, Duan Mufeng understood instantly.
The separation was imminent, and this girl couldn't bear to leave him.
According to previous news from Kyoto, he must leave today, otherwise he will miss the deadline for recruitment.
"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible after I finish my work. I'll try not to delay too long."
Duan Mufeng said softly while patting Xu Qing's shoulder.
Perhaps only Xu Qing can appreciate the tenderness from the owner of the City of Hope. In the eyes of outsiders, Duanmu Feng is a ruthless and strong man who shows no mercy.
Especially after the day before yesterday, some people are bound to describe him as even more terrifying.
"Can I go with you?"
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, slowly raised her head, opened her eyes full of tears, looked at Duan Mufeng expectantly and asked.
Duan Mufeng shook his head without hesitation to express his rejection.
Seeing Duan Mufeng shaking his head, a tear rolled down from the corner of Xu Qing's eyes like a broken pearl, and then she buried her head in Duan Mufeng's arms again.
"It's too dangerous. It's better to stay in the City of Hope and wait for my return."
"I promise you, it will be soon."
Duanmu Feng sighed helplessly in his heart and said with sincerity.
It's not that he doesn't have any regrets for Xu Qing, it's just that he really doesn't know what he will encounter during this trip. If he takes Xu Qing with him, he will not only be distracted, but also more likely to put Xu Qing in danger.
Perhaps the alien creature that has never appeared is near Kyoto.
"knew..."
"Then I'll wait for you to come back..."
"You have to promise me that you will come back safely..."
Xu Qing was silent for a while, and finally she could only nod her head and say, her words full of concern and reluctance.
"Okay, I promise you."
Duanmu Feng nodded heavily.
Next, neither of them said anything else, they just hugged each other tightly, cherishing the tenderness of this last moment.
...
An hour later.
In front of the safe house building, Tang Jun and hundreds of Tianlong Guard elites have assembled and are ready to leave.
All high-level personnel gathered in the square. In addition, many survivors rushed to the scene to see Duan Mufeng off.
"After I leave, the City of Hope will be handed over to you two!"
Duan Mufeng looked at Wu Jun and Lei Ming in front of him, and spoke word by word, with great meaning.
"Don't worry, Feng Shuai. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the City of Hope! I will protect this place with my life!"
Wu Jun nodded heavily and said loudly.
"Me too, I will always be at Captain Wu's disposal and help him protect everyone!"
Lei Ming also nodded and said decisively.
After hearing the answers from the two men, Duanmu Feng nodded with satisfaction. Before Lei Ming came, if Wu Jun was the only one, he would not have agreed to Tang Jun following him to Kyoto, because Wu Jun still lacked combat experience, and He is not ruthless enough at critical moments, and his combat effectiveness and command ability are not outstanding after all.
But with Lei Ming's assistance, all this is no longer a problem, because Lei Ming's ability and ruthlessness are definitely not inferior to Tang Jun's.
In fact, he used Dong Mingrui to test Lei Ming just for today. Fortunately, Lei Ming did not disappoint him, so he was relieved to leave Lei Ming in the City of Hope to assist Wu Jun.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng slowly came to Xu Qing and squeezed out a seemingly relaxed smile.
"I gotta go."
Duan Mufeng looked at Xu Qing and said softly.
"Well, have a safe trip."
Xu Qing choked and nodded, urging.
"Take good care of yourself!"
Duan Mufeng nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and slowly touched Xu Qing's cheek, his eyes full of love.
Feeling the lines in Duan Mufeng's palm, Xu Qing's nose felt sore and she couldn't help but lean towards Duan Mufeng's chest.
However, before Xu Qing could hug Duan Mufeng, Duan Mufeng suddenly turned around and left, going straight to the armored vehicle nearby.
Xu Qing threw herself into the air, her eyes couldn't help getting wet again, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall.
She didn't want him to worry.
"Have a safe trip Feng Shuai!"
“Have a safe journey!”
As the motorcade slowly left the safe house building, everyone present began to wave their arms and wish loudly, watching as the motorcade disappeared from the end of sight.
After sitting in the car, Duanmu Feng had already returned to his former coldness. There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were bright and cold.
He was very curious and looking forward to what was waiting for him when he went to Kyoto.
...
Two days later, twenty armored vehicles drove into Kyoto in a mighty manner.
But looking at it, the entire city of Kyoto is just like E City. There are ruins and devastation everywhere. It seems that there has been more than one large-scale destruction.
On the broken wall, the traces left by the bullets were clearly visible. Occasionally, you could also see a few mutant corpses that were naturally buried in the snow after being dried.
"It seems that there have been far more attacks here than imagined, and the scale is larger!"
Tang Jun was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out through the car window and couldn't help but say.
Duanmu Feng did not speak, but looked at everything in front of him indifferently, because he had seen these in his previous life, and they were exactly the same, like a dream.
"Didn't you say that Kyoto Prefecture is recruiting? Why doesn't it look like anyone is living here at all? Then the news can't be true, right?"
At this time, the driver who was driving couldn't help but muttered.
"Stop talking nonsense and focus on driving!"
"Attention everyone, watch closely from head to tail, be careful of mutant attacks!"
Tang Jun glanced at the driver dissatisfied, scolded him, and then issued orders to all vehicles through the intercom.
"oh..."
The driver shrank his neck and agreed, carefully looking through the rearview mirror at Duan Mufeng, who was sitting in the back seat.
The driver was none other than Xiao Fei.
Since Xiaofei had perfectly completed every task assigned to him by Duanmufeng the previous few times, he made an exception this time and took him with him.
Moreover, Xiao Fei's marksmanship is indeed nothing to say. Bringing him to Kyoto may be useful at critical moments.
"Keep driving forward, we're almost there."
Duanmu Feng was silent for a long time and finally spoke.
Xiao Fei agreed, stopped talking, and started driving the vehicle seriously according to the route given by Duan Mu Feng.
"Feng Shuai, is there really a siege city in Kyoto similar to the City of Hope?"
Tang Jun hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked expectantly.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Duan Mufeng replied casually, then closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the seat, and began to recharge his batteries.
Tang Jun turned his head and glanced at Duanmu Feng, then immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The car continued to drive in the city, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at the center of Kyoto City, and then a towering city wall appeared not far away!
However, compared to the City of Hope, the walls here seem to be significantly taller and more impregnable. However, under the mottled high walls, you can vaguely see the corpses of many mutants and mutant beasts piled up.
It looks like this place has been attacked more than once, and on a large scale!
"arrive!"
Xiao Fei, who was driving, suddenly felt a huge wall blocking the way in front of him. He couldn't help but lower his head and look up through the windshield, and then couldn't help shouting loudly.
Hearing Xiao Fei's exclamation, Tang Jun couldn't help but take a closer look, his face full of surprise.
Duan Mufeng, who was sitting in the back row, also opened his eyes instantly. After a pause, he opened the car door and exposed half of his body outside. He looked up at the familiar city wall in front of him and was filled with emotion.
That's where he fought desperately!
Soon, the convoy arrived at the entrance to the siege and was stopped by a group of heavily armed guards.
"parking!"
"It's forbidden here! What do you do?!"
The guards guarding the city looked at the 20 armored vehicles coming in force, and all of them suddenly entered a state of combat readiness. They came to the front of the car with guns in hand and asked questions loudly.
In the end of the world, anyone who sees Tianlongwei's formation will be sweating...
