Chapter 191: Fifty Thousand Years

The underground human base near the ruins of the ancient civilization No.9.

“Warrior Luo Feng, this is a set of clean clothes.”

“Warrior Luo Feng, do you need any other service?”

Luo Feng, who looked like a ‘black man’, glanced at the two women at the door and waved his hand, saying, “No need!” With a “slap” sound, he closed the door.

“It’s been one year and three months since I had a proper bath!” Luo Feng quickly stripped off his combat suit and clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Hot water was continuously flowing into the bathtub. As soon as Luo Feng got in, the water in the bathtub quickly started to turn black. There was nothing that could be done about it, as the water supply in the ruins was only suitable for drinking.

Want to take a bath? Dream on!

Lying in the bathtub, with hot water washing over his body, Luo Feng couldn’t help but use the ‘assistant brain’ to make a call. The assistant brain had already copied all the phone numbers from the ‘communication watch’.

“It’s been more than a year. I wonder how my parents are doing and if their health is still good?”

Actually, right after he came out from the ruins of the ancient civilization, Luo Feng had wanted to make a call. However, he was surrounded by a large number of staff members at the base, so he had to first find a room to take a bath and started making the call while in the bathtub.

“Beep… Beep… Beep…”

The phone connected.

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou, Bright Moon Residential Complex.

A quiet room.

Luo Hongguo was lying in bed, his face pale, with an IV drip beside him, clearly receiving intravenous fluids. There were two nurses in the room.

“It’s Luo Feng’s call, it’s Luo Feng’s call…” The ringtone sounded.

Luo Hongguo, who had been lying with his eyes closed and looking pale, almost instantly opened his eyes wide, quickly turned his head to look at the mobile phone on the bedside table nearby, and without thinking, he tried to turn over and stretched out his left hand to grab the phone. This sudden action startled the two nurses, one of whom quickly said, “Mr. Luo, your waist shouldn’t move. Let me do it.”

“It’s okay.”

Luo Hongguo seemed to have boundless strength, as if the waist pain belonged to someone else. He quickly grabbed the phone.

Looking at the caller ID, Luo Hongguo couldn’t believe it: “It’s really Xiao Feng. Who is calling? Xiao Feng?” You see, the Limits Martial Arts Association had already confirmed the news of Luo Feng’s death, and Luo Feng’s parents didn’t know that Luo Feng was at the ruins of ancient civilization No.9, so they had always believed that the Limits Martial Arts Association had 100% evidence confirming his death.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Hongguo pressed the answer key.

“Beep.”

“Hello.” Luo Hongguo’s voice was hoarse and low, filled with a bit of anxiety and a bit of hope. It was as if he was holding a piece of tofu, afraid that it would break at any moment.

“Dad, it’s me.” That energetic and powerful voice, the voice that had echoed countless times in Luo Hongguo’s dreams, that familiar voice beyond familiarity… made Luo Hongguo’s eyes instantly widen, and his hand trembled as he said, “It’s Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, is it really you?”

“It’s me, Dad.” Luo Feng said.

“You haven’t turned on the video yet. Let me see you.” Luo Hongguo hurriedly said. He was afraid that someone was deliberately playing a trick on him, after all, with today’s technology, it’s not hard to mimic someone’s voice.

“Dad, I’m taking a bath, and I have a big beard on my face.” Luo Feng sounded a bit embarrassed.

Beep!

The video call started!

Luo Hongguo stared at the phone screen. In the faint steam of the bathroom, there was a figure, with wet, long hair, a full beard, but the facial structure, especially those eyes, made Luo Hongguo’s eyes instantly light up. In the video, a razor blade flew up, quickly shaving off the beard on Luo Feng’s face, revealing a handsome young man!

It was indeed Luo Feng!

His own son, raised for twenty years!

“Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, you’re not dead. That’s great, so great.” Tears quickly welled up in Luo Hongguo’s eyes. During this period, the couple had indeed been extremely heartbroken over their eldest son’s situation.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I was trapped somewhere and couldn’t come out. I just got out now. I’m in South America now, and I’ll be home in a few hours.” Luo Feng said.

“Okay, okay, don’t worry. Your matters are more important.” Luo Hongguo quickly replied.

Suddenly—

Click, the door to the room opened. Luo Hua, wearing a cotton undershirt, was walking in with a freshly prepared glass of milk.

“Don’t worry, Dad. Everything is resolved. I’ll be back soon. Is everything okay at home?” The voice from the phone made Luo Hua, who was holding the milk, freeze in his tracks.

“Brother!”

Luo Hua’s eyes widened in disbelief, and tears almost immediately streamed down his face!

The two nurses beside him were startled. They knew very well how impressive this ‘Luo Hua’ was. He was the eighth largest shareholder of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, one of the biggest banks in China, with assets exceeding hundreds of billions. People who visited his home were definitely top figures in politics and business, as well as personnel from national special departments.

Even they were specially assigned by the national department to take care of Luo Hua’s father. How could such an impressive figure suddenly burst into tears?

“It’s okay, everything at home is fine. You coming back will make everything okay.” Luo Hongguo quickly said.

“Yeah, I’ll be back soon.”

The call ended.

Only after the call did Luo Hua approach his father, still in disbelief, asking, “Dad, was that a call from Brother? Brother is not dead?”

“He’ll be home in a few hours.” Luo Hongguo quickly replied.

“Haha, ha, ha…” Luo Hua seemed to be crying, yet also laughing, “I knew it, Brother would be fine, he would be fine!” From childhood, Luo Feng had always been like a towering tree protecting him. Even when he became a warrior and earned money, it was all for his younger brother’s sake. Luo Hua was deeply grateful to his older brother in his heart.

In his life, his older brother was extremely important! When the news of Luo Feng’s death arrived, his parents were heartbroken, and Luo Hua was heartbroken too, but he had to hold up the family.

Under twenty years old, having to deal with Li Yao’s schemes and various cunning old foxes, Luo Hua was indeed very tired, very tired.

In a café in Kyoto Base City.

Xu Xin was sitting on a sofa seat in the café, with an ultra-thin laptop in front of her. The desktop of the laptop displayed a photo of Luo Feng and herself. In the photo, Luo Feng was smiling exaggeratedly, like a big kid. Xu Xin tapped the screen and opened a folder.

Holding a cup of hot coffee, Xu Xin silently looked at the photos inside the folder.

“Hello, can I borrow your phone for a moment?” A handsome young man approached with a smile.

Xu Xin glanced at him, her gaze icy, then turned her attention back to the laptop without uttering a word.

The handsome young man slightly frowned, but when he caught sight of a photo on the laptop with the corner of his eye—a photo of Xu Xin and Luo Feng taken on a very tall building in the wilderness area—he turned around and left, cursing inwardly, “Damn, she already has a boyfriend. The cabbage has already been taken by a pig. Wait, no, the background behind them in the photo seems to be a ruined city, and there are monsters?”

A couple taking couple photos in a city in the wilderness area?

“I must have seen it wrong, I must have seen it wrong.” The handsome young man couldn’t believe it.

At that moment… a sorrowful music ringtone sounded, which made the handsome young man turn his head in confusion: “Such a mournful ringtone?”

Xu Xin, sitting on the sofa, shuddered. This music was a special ringtone she had specifically set for Luo Feng’s number. She took out her phone and quickly pressed the answer key.

“Xu Xin, it’s me.”

Xu Xin, whose heart had long been cold, felt the ice that had been sealing her heart instantly melt away.

At the exit of the underground base.

Luo Feng, wearing a black casual jacket and carrying an oversized backpack, was smiling as he looked up at the two streaks of light flying toward him from the sky. After making the two calls, Luo Feng felt much more relaxed.

The two streaks of light were Luo Feng’s King-level intelligent fighter jets! When he came out from the ruins of the ancient civilization, he had given the order to the intelligent fighter jet… and the intelligent fighter jet immediately flew over.

“Hmm? That’s——” Luo Feng looked at the blood-red triangular fighter jet beside him.

Both fighter jets landed simultaneously.

The hatches opened, and the steps extended. Hong, dressed in black, stepped out first, followed by his aide ‘Yao Rao’ and an Inspector ‘Liu He’.

“Director.” Luo Feng slightly bowed.

“Good, you didn’t disappoint me.” The black-clad man Hong walked directly up to Luo Feng, his gaze as if seeing right through him, “And I can also sense that you are different from before, Luo Feng. This one year and three months must have brought you great gains. Come, let’s talk more on the fighter jet.”

“Yes.” Luo Feng was well aware of the director’s strength—Hong was a sixth-stage warrior of the Star Level, but because he had developed his own domain, even a ninth-stage warrior might not be his match. Within the Star Level, he was practically invincible!

The gap between the Star Level one-stage council members and the director’s strength was like the difference between a ‘beginner warrior’ and an ‘invincible war god’!

And the gap between himself and the director was indeed enormous.

The Primordial-level intelligent fighter jet flew ahead, followed by the King-level intelligent fighter jet.

Inside the Primordial-level intelligent fighter jet, the black-clad man Hong, Luo Feng, Yao Rao, and Liu He were sitting on circular seats.

“Luo Feng, you have translation software. Why did you stay in the ruins of ancient civilization No.9 for one year and three months?” The black-clad man Hong looked at Luo Feng, “Did you discover some secrets of the ruins of ancient civilization No.9?” As the number one person on Earth, he had also received some technological inheritances from ancient ruins, and there were very few things that could pique his curiosity. The ruins of ancient civilization No.9 was one of them.

“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.

“What secrets? Can you tell me?” The black-clad man Hong looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng knew in his heart that the bald crystal man had actively deleted a lot of information from the communication watch, not wanting humans on Earth to know its secrets! Only ‘Yin Mo Xing members’ were qualified to know.

“It’s because my brain domain is relatively wide, so I triggered a special death mission.” Luo Feng half-truthfully replied.

“A death mission?”

Everyone present was somewhat surprised. The black-clad man Hong asked, “Is the reward the same as other warriors? There should be a difference, right?”

In the past, anyone who entered the ruins of ancient civilization No.9 and succeeded would receive a set of Black God Armor.

“There is a bit of a difference.”

“Not only did I get a set of Black God Armor, but I also got a set of training methods for a mentalist.” Luo Feng said.

“Oh?” The black-clad man Hong looked a bit disappointed.

He was a martial artist! His energy had to be fully focused on martial arts. Now, according to what ‘Hong’ knew about some things in the universe, although he was a sixth-stage warrior of the Star Level, his martial arts realm was extremely high. Many warriors at the Stellar Level had not yet developed their own domains.

With a domain, he was invincible within the Star Level!

Since his martial arts realm was so high, he naturally couldn’t waste time cultivating mental power anymore.

Inside the ruins of ancient civilization No.9, in the dark brown maze.

The bald crystal man, whose whole body faintly emitted a glow, was walking step by step.

“Luo Feng indeed didn’t reveal the secrets of the ruins.”

The bald crystal man, who faintly carried a trace of ‘melancholy’ emotion unique to humans, sighed, “Master, it’s already been 50,000 years, and I haven’t been able to contact you for 50,000 years.” Even after 50,000 years, as an AI brain, he still could only obey the most basic programs and continue to screen some warriors.
