Ruins of Fortress No. 76, a construction site of a supply relay fortress under construction.
A small transport plane landed on the makeshift airport, the cabin door opened, and a man and a woman jumped off, supporting each other.
The man was wearing a sharp suit, his hair neatly styled, exuding a deanor that he seed to have only recently acquired. The smile on his lips and gentle eyes gave him a decent charm.
The woman appeared very young, wearing a simple pleated skirt with a white blouse, her pretty face and clear big eyes made her look like a girl who just graduated from the Fortress School.
In fact, Xiang Tiantian wasn’t that old, with more than a ten-year age difference from Zhou Zhengde.
Old Zhou was really being an old ox.
"Director Zhou!"
The person in charge of the construction had been waiting for a long ti and ca forward to greet them.
Zhou Zhengde smiled and shook hands with him, saying warmly, "The higher-ups asked to co over to check the progress, but it’s just a formality."
"I’ll take you directly to the construction site... does your assistant need a rest?"
"Fiancée."
"Oh, I’m sorry, sorry," the official felt a bit embarrassed, "she doesn’t look well, did she get air sickness?"
Xiang Tiantian blinked her eyes and whispered, "I’m a Spiritual Ability User... S-level... just used too much foundation cream."
Zhou Zhengde nearly burst out laughing.
Actually, there was no need to explain so much.
"Let her walk around with ," Zhou Zhengde looked at the desert where yellow sand swirled everywhere.
That battle nine months ago seed as if it was just yesterday.
That day, giant Blade Beasts erged from all directions, an endless tide of Blade Beasts rushed towards here.
Zhou Zhengde back then was guarding the aerial command platform, witnessing it all firsthand, and even now, the mories are vivid.
He also faintly knew that his best friend should have faked his death to escape.
But until now, he didn’t know where the Black Storm went, if the injuries were serious, how he was doing.
Even, as ti went by, the human world had no definite news, the entire Blade Beast world was incredibly calm...
This made Zhou Zhengde sowhat doubt whether his dearest friend was really, you know.
The elevator began to descend steadily.
Zhou Zhengde quickly led Xiang Tiantian to act alone, directly bypassing the construction area and entering the original seventh floor of the fortress.
Just like the other layers of ruins, this place had actually been destroyed by the Blade Beasts.
However, a force that once gathered around the Black Storm was unwilling to leave just like that, and prioritized the restoration of parts of this area.
Looking around from the simple elevator, collapsed buildings were everywhere, the ceiling had visible gaps with sections missing, so chanical Body parts lying on the road unrecovered, but the Blade Beast remains had been cleaned up.
Xiang Tiantian, familiar with the route, led the way, and they reached a residential building, entering a holographic wall.
The interior of the residential building was another world, with the lower floors being office buildings, an intelligence exchange station set here;
The middle floors housed a batch of Spiritual Ability Users and High-level chanical Bodies, responsible for protecting the stone plate wall, as well as several important figures.
On the top floor of the residential building, Spirit Cultivator No. 5’s stone plate wall was stored.
Zhou Zhengde’s arrival had been previously communicated everywhere, a few figures awaited at the stairwell, all with a hint of concern in their eyes.
Gao Huating, Red Snake, and Zheng Shiduo, who was on duty here.
Gao Huating, in a black dress, with snow-white skin, gradually exuded a sense of nobility in her own aura.
Red Snake, wearing loose pajamas, was clearly feeling suffocated here.
But Red Snake’s special identity prevented her from showing up easily, to avoid becoming the trigger for the next big assault by the Blade Beasts.
Zheng Shiduo...
Still the sa as ever.
The sudden appearance of his biological father did not change Lao Zheng’s dedication to his life path.
They were not concerned about Zhou Zhengde’s state;
They were waiting here just to find out if Zhou Zhengde could bring any news about that man.
Zhou Zhengde directly shrugged with a wry smile.
"Tsk," Red Snake turned around to leave, "I’m going to sleep, call for a fight."
Gao Huating bowed her head, considered it a salute to Zhou Zhengde, turned to leave as well.
Zhou Zhengde imdiately said, "Miss Gao! I ca for sothing, I wanted to talk to you."
"Hmm," Gao Huating showed a faint smile, "if you have sothing, just say it, I’ll cooperate to the best of my ability."
"Let’s find a eting room."
"Co to my office," Zheng Shiduo invited, "It’s quieter over there, no one will disturb us, and let catch so news, staying here is starting to feel like fading away!"
Zhou Zhengde feigned ignorance, "Is the cafeteria food not nutritious?"
"It’s too quiet here."
Zheng Shiduo was full of resentnt:
"The Buddhist Temple Team was supposed to send eight people here to take turns on duty, I was the first because I have the lowest strength.
"Who knows the other seven turned their backs, never coming to relieve , saying that with only a B Spiritual Ability Level, I need to cultivate wholeheartedly here! I’m about to reach A now!
"Over the past half year, they’ve beco famous, VIPs in the nine integrated combat zones, big stars, while I can only guard this stone plate!
Zhou Zhengde smiled to console him, "They also take into consideration that you’re closest to your brother Wang."
"That’s true too!"
Zheng Shiduo looked around cautiously, lowered his voice:
"Lately I’ve had a feeling... I always think that brother Wang hasn’t really left, maybe watching us secretly, grading our performances one by one."
Zhou Zhengde’s forehead was lined with black.
Goosebumps rose!
A black butterfly flitted across in front.
