Chapter 1472: Chapter 577: The New Forces

After discovering the source of danger in the underground secret warehouse, Yan Fei sensed the danger around him spike to its peak, as if the ship cannon shells below were about to explode any moment. Without any hesitation, he pushed open the door and rushed into the room next to Lu Pingping’s.

Lu Pingping had gone to bed early, but she was thinking about the plan for tomorrow, feeling a bit excited and couldn’t really fall asleep. While she was lost in her thoughts, Yan Fei suddenly burst into her room without knocking. First, she was stunned, then her face flushed with heat, mistakenly thinking that Yan Fei had finally seen the light.

But to her surprise, Yan Fei was in a state of extreme nervousness. He handed the clothes beside the bed to Lu Pingping and said, "Pingping, it’s dangerous here. Hurry up and get dressed, we need to leave this place together."

Lu Pingping’s face turned red, realizing things were not as she had thought. Still, she obediently quickly got dressed and asked, "Fei, what exactly is happening?"

Yan Fei said, "It’s complicated, and there’s no time to explain. Let’s get out of here first."

Soon after, Lu Pingping was dressed, and she left the room together with Yan Fei. Yan Fei originally planned to leave via the Dream Tower’s exclusive elevator, but he soon realized this method of departure might be risky and switched plans on the fly. Yan Fei shouted to the guard squad members on rooftop guard duty, "Everyone, evacuate as fast as possible; we’ll regroup at the riverside square ahead."

The Dream Island Guard members, being on alert patrol, heard Yan Fei’s new orders. Despite the strangeness of the orders, they quickly gathered their gear and prepared to leave. The square Yan Fei mentioned was located beside the river, five kilometers away from the Dream Tower in a straight line. It was wide open and, although there were no buildings for cover around, it was already beyond the maximum lethal range of the ship cannon shell explosions.

After the Guard Squad members executed their emergency evacuation, Yan Fei had the artificial intelligence "Dream" issue an emergency retreat order to the workers who were working the night shift at the Dream Tower. Then Yan Fei picked up Lu Pingping and stood at the edge of the rooftop, jumping down into the night sky in front of him.

Lu Pingping was initially a bit shy when Yan Fei held her. When she saw him leaping down from the building, she became frightened. However, she trusted that Yan Fei would not harm her, so she closed her eyes and buried her head in Yan Fei’s embrace. Feeling the warmth from Yan Fei’s body, Lu Pingping felt secure and was no longer afraid.

While still in mid-air, Yan Fei controlled the heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi from the outside world, gathering it behind his back to form a pair of ethereal wings, allowing him to rapidly fly through the air with the aid of the Spirit Wings of Heaven and Earth. Yan Fei couldn’t do this before—he could only glide over short distances in the air. But after the experience in the Dreamland Cave World of converting energy to tangible wings, he came up with many genius ideas, developing various new skills. Even though he was in the outside world, he managed to conjure a pair of virtual wings. These virtual wings could not last long, but they were already enough to enable Yan Fei to fly through the air for a short time.

Yan Fei felt pressured, so his flight speed was very fast. Within just a minute, he had flown away from the Dream Tower and then to the riverside square five kilometers away. Behind him in the night sky, the Dream Tower still stood tall, with no explosion coming from underground. However, under "Dream’s" retreat order, the entire Dream Tower was brightly lit up. Workers, accustomed to evacuation drills, were withdrawing in an orderly fashion...

Seeing that the Dream Tower was unharmed, Yan Fei let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that his previous feeling had been wrong, but after his spiritual power had increased fivefold over the original level, his understanding of the world deepened, and he could predict some events that might happen in the future. His previous sense that the underground secret warehouse ship cannon shells would explode was a premonition of a future event, not something imminent. With this predictive ability, his targeted preparations could avoid the looming danger.

Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were now five kilometers away from the Dream Tower. According to the predictions of the Auxiliary Brain, even if those ship cannon shells were to undergo explosive disintegration, the blast force would not reach them here, at least not with any significant lethality to Yan Fei and Lu Pingping. This meant that Yan Fei had successfully avoided the enormous explosion crisis.

Just as Yan Fei was about to put down Lu Pingping in his arms, he saw her looking straight at him with a peculiar gleam in her eyes.

Yan Fei said, "Pingping, there was no time to explain just now; I had to take you away from the Dream Tower. I can tell you now, our Dream Tower is facing a huge danger, it could explode at any moment."

But Lu Pingping didn’t focus on the explosion. She said, "Fei, no matter the danger, you will protect me, right?"

Yan Fei was taken aback for a second and then said, "That’s right, no matter what, I will protect you."

Lu Pingping said, "Years ago, on that night, you held me just like this, jumping from the Assassin Sect’s airplane. I was very scared back then, but I trusted you, and you safely rescued me from the hands of the Assassin Sect’s assassins."
