Chapter 569: 285 Undercurrents

"Hello."

Bai Xiao glanced at the other party and then extended his right hand.

The two shook hands lightly.

The handsome young man suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of surprise flickered.

"Captain..."

At this moment, Zhou Chen was somewhat at a loss and softly called out.

"Zhou Chen, apologize."

Luo Feng slowly turned his head and quietly looked at his subordinate.

"I..."

Zhou Chen opened his mouth, as if he had a lot to say, but seeing his captain’s expressionless, serious face, he swallowed his words back.

He said reluctantly and sullenly.

"I’m sorry."

Two minutes later, the pleasantries between Luo Feng and Yao Qing came to an end. He took Zhou Chen and left the reception area, walking through the living room exit to a secluded corridor.

"Tap tap tap..."

The ground echoed with two muffled footsteps.

Zhou Chen had been following behind Luo Feng, and after holding back for a long time, he finally couldn’t restrain himself. He quickened his pace and came to Luo Feng’s left side and said.

"Captain, who is that Bai Xiao?"

"Chairman Lin actually spent so much Mercury Potion to hire him alone; that’s enough to hire our entire Thunder Cloud Team. I just wanted to spar with him, I want to see what’s so great about this guy..."

Zhou Chen’s lips tightened, and his chin lifted slightly, quite defiant.

"Tap."

Luo Feng, who had been walking forward steadily, suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, his gaze quietly fixed on Zhou Chen, and he spoke.

"Do you know about the incident the night before last?"

Zhou Chen nodded.

"Of course, the people from the Majors were noticed by the Eternal Sleep Sect, and the vanguard suffered heavy losses. Oh, right, we also had casualties..."

Luo Feng looked at Zhou Chen again and explained in detail.

"Exactly, we also lost two members. The vanguard team from the Mo Yun Group, led by my brother, Luo Ping. At that time, two members of Luo Ping’s team stationed near Sleep Sea Resort, suddenly encountered an accident. Almost at the same time, the cabin where Luo Ping and the other team members were located was attacked with firepower by people from the Evolution Grounds. If it hadn’t been for Bai Xiao who was there with Yao Qing, my brother might have died by now at the hands of the Evolution Grounds..."

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, not expecting this turn of events.

"Captain, I’m sorry, I didn’t know."

But Luo Feng shook his head slightly, squinting his eyes and said, "Do you think I asked you to apologize to him because Bai Xiao saved my brother’s life?"

Zhou Chen, somewhat puzzled, candidly replied, "Isn’t it?"

Luo Feng shook his head again, his dark eyes intently staring at Zhou Chen, saying.

"That night, the Majors and various companies suffered heavy losses. But, not all were done by the Eternal Sleep Sect. Among them, the vanguard team from Heavenly God Company, including the attackers from the Evolution Grounds, were all taken down by Bai Xiao!"

"The leader from Heavenly God Company, who also controlled one of the seven tier-wing level suits, the Sunburn Axe wielder Wang Feng... do you think you could do it?"

Luo Feng quietly watched Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Facing Wang Feng alone, the outcome is still unknown."

"But, facing the entire team from Heavenly God Company and even adding the attackers from Evolution Grounds, I definitely couldn’t do it alone."

"Bai Xiao... is he that strong?"

Luo Feng smiled faintly, his gaze becoming solemn.

"Not just that."

"When I first met him just now, I didn’t feel much, even when I got close, it felt like he was just an ordinary human. However, at the moment of the handshake, the hair on the back of my hand stood up, the mutant cells in my body reacted to the extreme danger, almost causing me spontaneously to wear armor. It was as if in front of me was not a human, but a savage beast clad in human skin, a monstrous fleshy creature that could easily threaten my life..."

He let out a deep breath, his eyes still containing a hint of shock.

"That feeling."

"I’ve only experienced it once when facing a General Level opponent for the first time..."

Zhou Chen was stupefied, his gaze hollow, his mouth gaping.

It took him a long while to murmur to himself.

"Then earlier, when I challenged him to a duel, wasn’t I just courting death?"

...

5:30 PM.

The twilight, like a cup of deepening red tea, infused the entire red and blue sky.

At the seaside town, the sea breeze carrying the salty mist swept across the dock, curling up the faded blue and white striped awnings of the fishnet shops. Solar lamps lit up one after the other, casting diamond-shaped patches of light on the asphalt road. Rows of vibrant green palm trees gently swayed in the distance on the beach, the edges of their leaves gilded with the last streak of molten gold.

However, unbeknownst to when, the picturesque town had been deserted, leaving only a quiet husk. Several cars from outside were parked nearby, their roofs reflecting dazzling light in the sunset.

"Tap tap tap..."

Heavy red combat boots trod on the concrete surface, leaving shallow pits.

In the middle of the road, a fiery Biological Armor slowly walked. Its feet were rugged and large, with cooling fins of lava patterns spirally climbing from the ankles to the knees, each step shaking off a string of orange-red sparks. From the helmet, a quiet blue light spilled from the steel corners of the mouth, creating a series of breath-like light traces.

On the left shoulder of the armor, there was a distinctly mixed emblem of flames and lightning.

That was the Feng Guang Group.

On the right shoulder, three pairs of single-sided wings shimmered in layers.

That represented a Three-Wing Rank.

This Biological Armor belonged to the one leading this awakening operation.

The leader of the Feng Guang Group, Yun Hui.

At the entrance of the town.

The fiery Biological Armor paused its steps, and alongside it, another blue armor stood quietly, with a thick, sharp long spear thrust into the ground. Vaguely, one could see faint mists gathering around.
