"Longinus was indeed in its possession!"

Major Li Xinliang let out a long sigh of relief.

The Hanhai Central Base wasn't worried about Longinus being stolen by Xiao Jiu, the concern was if it had not been stolen by it, that would have been a real disaster.

"Return to rightful owner!"

Chen Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Longinus in the claws of Xiao Jiu was limited to just that, like the species of Xiao Jiu, it posed no threat to anyone, and no unexpected incidents would occur.

Come on, even with its little frame, it couldn't possibly want to brandish the over four-meter-long thing, could it?

Better wash up that brain and kneel down early!

"Yes, yes, return to rightful owner!"

The Special Warfare Group Major bringing Xiao Jiu was also about returning the bird to its rightful place. It was a win-win situation with each party getting what they needed.

He leaped forward, grabbed the over four-meter-long Longinus—it couldn't be held upright, but he managed to awkwardly hold it at an angle.

Chen Fei, with his full emotional intelligence, said directly, "Maybe you should get going first?"

"Sure! Take good care of Little Bird, it's very well-behaved!"

Like praising someone else's child, Major Li Xinliang and Chen Fei shared an understanding glance.

He immediately unceremoniously hoisted Longinus on his shoulder and pushed the door open to leave.

"Damn, this, this, where was this taken from."

A cry of surprise came from the corridor outside; it seems someone was startled by what Major Li was carrying and thought someone had come to dismantle the place.

Although Longinus was sealed in the Hanhai Central Base, not everyone knew what it actually looked like.

Those who had seen Longinus were either aged or had passed away; as time went by, the number of people in the know dwindled, and many secrets gradually became veiled by time.

A moment later, the bespectacled man came back into the room and, seeing the small mountain of assorted boxes and items, was nearly startled.

"What the hell are these?"

The premium recuperation room had turned into a tiny storage room.

"They were rummaged out while looking for something, who knows what they are?"

Chen Fei was just as helpless.

It wasn't easy for Xiao Jiu to smoothly understand things it had never seen before out of the blue.

Luckily, Little Bird wasn't interested in too many things; if it suddenly stole a Crystal Jet, that would be...666!

In fact, this was not a joke, but a real possibility.

Human airports' radars simply couldn't capture this little thing's image, and even if they did, they couldn't discern it, with a screen full of static—that the radar would rather cease to function.

"Ah? Could I take a look?"

The bespectacled man curiously looked over the boxes, noticing familiar professional terminology like culture mediums, electron microscopes, and various odd and curious experimental records and reports, as if they came from a laboratory.

"Sure, can you help me find out what these actually are?"

Chen Fei saw no harm in it.

As for where the Space System Alchemy Storage Device from Xiao Jiu's claws came from, he was entirely clueless.

If he could find some clues, perhaps there would be an opportunity to return things to their rightful owner, restoring them to their original state.

Of course, if the "Water Bear" organization dared to accept them, Chen Fei would certainly dare to deliver; his courage was the fattest, what others didn't dare to do, he surely would.

"Alright, then I'll have a look!"

The bespectacled man rifled through the boxes one by one, pulling out the paper documents and flipping through them.

"This looks like the entire set of a biological laboratory; the equipment is very high-end, huh! Even Hanhai, cough, erm, doesn't have these. These experimental reports... are, erm? Of mutants? Which secret laboratory's data is this? It seems to be deeply researched! Even gene-editing technology has been used, hiss, artificial interference experiments with mutants, this, this, this is a taboo, how could they dare? Are they mad?"

His breathing unconsciously became heavy, and his eyes grew wider and wider, as though he had witnessed something unthinkable.

"Emmmm..."

Chen Fei watched as the man's trembling became more pronounced and pondered.

Had the local medical industry become so competitive that even a community health center doctor could understand genetic experimentation records and reports?

As if to confirm something, the bespectacled man flipped through over a dozen boxes, inspecting the sealed equipment and materials, and finally stopped his movements, looking at Chen Fei with a mix of shock and suspicion, tentatively asking, "Little Chen, where did you get these things from?"

Good lord!

These items were enough to get you shot.

If it weren't for being in the Hanhai Central Base and if it weren't Chen Fei himself, it would have been a sin for an ordinary person to even glance at them.

"Ask it!"

Chen Fei pointed at the little guy bouncing up and down on the recuperation bed.

All sorts of empty and full liquor bottles had been collected, along with a pile of snacks, all of which were stored away into a certain "leg ring."

"Jiu?"

Xiao Jiu pecked at Chen Fei's finger, then looked innocently at the bespectacled man.

The latter simply rubbed his forehead.

No solution!

Dealing with a Magical Beast that did not possess human language skills was exactly what made it so headache-inducing.

"These... must be sealed!"

The man wearing glasses was very clear about the severity of the equipment and information.

Although Hanhai Central Base did not concern itself with these, taboos were taboos and should be handed over to the corresponding departments.

"No problem!" Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

Chen Fei had no interest whatsoever in the contents of these boxes, neither understanding them nor knowing how to use them. Keeping them was just a bother, unnecessarily occupying space in Xiao Jiu's leg ring storage space.

It would be better to clear them out and make room for more useful things.

The bespectacled man immediately rushed out and, after a short while, returned with a group of fully armed soldiers who began moving the boxes.

In the meantime, Chen Fei underwent a few simple physical checks and was then discharged from the hospital.

Previously, the "Dragon King" assault heavy armor, which had been subjected to giantization, was under strict protection and had not been breached. The reason he fell into a coma was mainly due to the complete exhaustion of both physical energy and spiritual power. After lying in the recuperation pod for a few days and gradually recovering his vital energy, he finally regained his strength and was now free of any major concerns.

Looking back at the fifteen-story building outside the gate, which bore the sign "Medical Experiment Center."

"Damn, the community health stations here are really high-end."

Even in the trash pile, one could find complete magic arrays. The level of this town called Hanhai or whatever was surprisingly high.

But now there's no need to worry about the trash here, surely they had already dealt with it.

Carrying a thin bag with some personal belongings, the streets were still not very crowded. Though the roads were broad, there were very few vehicles coming and going. After walking a long distance, he still had not seen a bus stop.

He couldn't find an electronic map of the area, probably due to it being a high-security area.

Previously, "Adam" confirmed Xiao Jiu's location solely based on the GPS coordinates to calculate the distance between them.

Fortunately, the town was not very large, with main roads running three by three, each end visible in a single glance. Even without a map for reference, it was still possible to find his way. Even if he had to walk back to his temporary accommodations, it wouldn't take much time, so he didn't need to summon his mobile base vehicle.

In the distance, a few buildings faintly bore marks of having endured battles, but most were intact. It seemed protective barriers on buildings were standard here, and only those structures deemed unimportant lacked this feature.

A faint sound of braking nearby was followed by a familiar voice.

"Chen Fei!"

Chen Fei turned around.

He saw a heavy truck parked on the opposite side of the road, with Rona sticking her head out of the driver's seat, waving at him.

The truck bed was filled with greenery, and it seemed she was indeed involved in gardening-related work.

"Rona!"

Chen Fei waved back at the blue-eyed, auburn-haired half-blood girl, responding to her greeting.

Rona shouted, "Where are you headed?"

Chen Fei candidly responded, "Back to the barracks!"

"Get in, I'll give you a lift," Rona offered, waving her hand generously, ready to help.

The two young men in the truck bed glared at Chen Fei with discontent.

"No worries! It's just a short walk!"

Chen Fei waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to invite trouble with the awkward atmosphere on the truck.

Chen Fei always kept his distance from issues of jealousy and rivalry.

Moreover, this exotic-looking mixed-race girl was not his type. Adhering to loyalty and not coveting what's in another's pot was part of The Chen Family's values. Being a scumbag was despicable.

Scumbags must die!

"You probably don't know, but the 'Dark Night' team that came with you has already left. You're the only one left in the entire camp. Since you're free anyway, come work with me," Rona insisted, not planning to let Chen Fei off and continued signaling him to hop in.

They left?

Chen Fei was taken aback, but on second thought, it made sense. Having been in the recuperation pod for nearly ten days, it was unrealistic to expect them to stay put just for him; they must have new orders by now.

The only regret was that they'd parted ways without saying goodbye.

After all, they had shared life-and-death experiences, a bond forged through adversity.

Rona wouldn't take no for an answer, pressing, "Get in, get in! If you don't, I'm going to run you over!"

Seeing her determined attitude, Chen Fei had no choice but to say, "Uhh! Alright then!"

He looked left and right before crossing the road directly. In this place, pedestrian crossings and traffic lights were merely for show.

Traffic police?

There wasn't a traffic officer in sight!

Rona opened the passenger-side door for Chen Fei. She was alone in the entire driver's cabin, with no one else sitting in the passenger seat.

The two guys had been relegated to seating in the truck bed, which explained why they glared at Chen Fei with such bitterness when he got in the truck.

"Should we invite the two at the back inside?"

Chen Fei asked with some embarrassment as he looked through the glass window behind the driver's cabin, which provided a view of the truck bed and the two faces frozen in stiff expressions.

It was in the middle of a bitter winter, and inside the barrier that enveloped the entire town, the temperature was not cold enough to freeze, but it wasn't much warmer than the chilly early spring either.

Sitting in the truck bed exposed to the wind was certainly not a comfortable experience.

Rona dismissed the concern, saying, "No worries, they are like two big bulls, it's really no big deal for them."

Both men in the truck bed couldn't even muster the energy to be upset about Rona's words and continued to stare resentfully at Chen Xiao'er, who had the audacity to get in the truck.
