When they heard the words "danger," the group of men surrounding Gao Feng's side all showed a slight change in their expressions. Their steps involuntarily slowed down.
Just a moment ago, everyone had experienced a perilous situation, narrowly escaping death. Hearing the word "danger" again, they were all genuinely afraid. After all, they were just ordinary employees, and their jobs did not include risking their lives.
Suddenly faced with such a drastic change, they had no thoughts of resistance, only panic and the urge to escape.
Gao Feng had not expected much from them. After a moment's thought, he said, "Brother Zhou, if you have a light armor, use it. No matter what lies ahead, we need to charge through. The longer we delay, the worse it will get."
Zhou Lei was somewhat surprised, not expecting Gao Feng to realize he had light armor. Light armor was naturally powerful, but it also placed a heavy burden on the user. Zhou Lei could only control it for half an hour at most. He had intended to use it at the most critical moment.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Lei decided to trust Gao Feng's judgment. This was the most critical moment. As long as they could enter the shelter, his wife and daughter would be safe. Besides, there were so many elderly, women, and children here.
"Arm up," Zhou Lei said in a deep voice. A faint white light emerged from his palm, spreading like water and slowly forming a pale white fist armor on his right hand.
This process took about a minute. The pale white fist armor was finally fully formed. On the back of the fist was a pattern of a vicious wolf, and on the palm side, the wolf's mouth was open, revealing four inch-long fangs.
The Battle Wolf Fist Armor was one of the most commonly used light armors in the Bright Empire's military. Unfortunately, with Zhou Lei's level 5 capabilities, he could only refine a fist armor. If he could refine a complete set of Battle Wolf Light Armor, these lizardmen would be no threat at all.
Although this was the case, with the Battle Wolf Fist Armor activated, Zhou Lei's speed, strength, and mental power were all significantly enhanced, increasing his combat power by at least three times. When facing the lizardmen, as long as he had the chance to activate the fist armor, he could easily kill them.
The problem was that the activation of the fist armor was too slow. In the face of the lizardmen's sudden attack, Zhou Lei simply didn't have the time.
Gao Feng felt some sympathy for Zhou Lei. He had such powerful light armor, but because he didn't have the time to activate it, he almost got killed by a lizardman. If he had really died, it would have been a bitter end.
However, this was a common weakness among low-level light armor masters. To activate light armor from the source power sea required a certain amount of time. If interrupted, not only would the light armor not be activated, but the mental power would also be damaged.
Since the Bright King Tang Dongjun discovered light armor and established a complete light armor system, humans had the foundation to dominate the galaxy.
Powerful light armor masters could alter the laws of physics. Their various abilities were almost god-like. This was an era where light armor ruled the universe.
Thousands of years had passed, and human light armor technology had been fully popularized. However, to become a light armor master, one needed both talent and sufficient material conditions. Only then could one refine light armor.
The ratio of light armor masters was roughly one in ten thousand. Out of ten thousand people, only one was a light armor master.
When Zhou Lei activated his light armor, everyone around him was amazed, envious, and happy. With a light armor master protecting them, they felt much safer.
"Light armor master, so powerful!"
"We're saved, he's a light armor master..."
"Light armor, light armor, so mighty..."
Zhou Lei noticed that Gao Feng's expression was calm and composed. It seemed that the Battle Wolf Fist Armor in his hand was nothing special. Zhou Lei couldn't help but wonder about Gao Feng's background, what kind of upbringing could give him such courage, ability, and insight.
He dared to say that in his entire life, he had never seen such an outstanding young man. Even among adults, Gao Feng was one of the most outstanding people he had ever met.
What Zhou Lei didn't know was that Gao Feng had memories from the future. He had seen all kinds of powerful light armors. Zhou Lei's slow activation of the light armor only made Gao Feng impatient. The light armor technology of this era was still somewhat backward, and Gao Feng sighed inwardly.
"Can I borrow your sword..." Gao Feng saw that Zhou Lei was ready and asked the person next to him.
The person, of course, had no objections and quickly handed the sword to Gao Feng. It was a standard Tang sword from the military, far inferior in quality to the Si Feng Sword, but it was the weapon Gao Feng was most familiar with. Gao Feng casually twirled the sword in his left hand, feeling it was still quite handy, and said, "Let's go..." as he strode forward.
"Why does he need two swords?" Zhou Lei wondered. However, Gao Feng's previous impressive performance made Zhou Lei trust his decision.
Seeing Gao Feng already walking ahead, he was momentarily stunned but quickly followed. As an experienced veteran and deputy leader of the security team, he was used to leading others. But following this young man, he instinctively obeyed his commands.
It wasn't quite accurate to say he was obeying, as Gao Feng hadn't given any orders. But every move Gao Feng made was in complete control, leaving Zhou Lei no choice but to follow.
The once-galactic-dominating Sky Wolf King used dual swords, sweeping through all directions, invincible. Holding dual swords, that familiar feeling surged from deep within his memory.
The future and the present seemed to intertwine through the dual swords in his hands. Only now did Gao Feng truly realize that everything he had seen was not a dream. With all the experiences and memories from the future, he would take a different path in life.
Before him was just the first challenge. Gao Feng had an extremely strong confidence to change the impending tragedy. With so many advantages, if he still couldn't change his fate, he would have no complaints.
Zhou Lei, walking beside Gao Feng, felt that something strange had happened to Gao Feng. As a level 5 light armor master, Zhou Lei's mental power was 87, nearly twice that of a normal person. He was very sensitive to emotional and mental fluctuations.
He could vaguely sense the power emanating from Gao Feng's bones. It was a spirit of striving forward and vigorous growth. Influenced by Gao Feng's emotions, Zhou Lei also felt a surge of fighting spirit.
The Anfu Building was getting closer. Under the night sky, the glass pyramid of the Anfu Building was still the most prominent building in the base.
As they got closer to the Anfu Building, Zhou Lei's unease grew stronger. Gao Feng and Zhou Lei did not talk, as speaking at this time would easily distract them and expose their position.
At the corner, Zhou Lei stopped Gao Feng and peeked out first. He saw that the large leisure lawn in front of the Anfu Building was littered with dozens of bodies.
These people had died in a gruesome manner, with blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The strong smell of blood was almost suffocating.
The central square, once a place of leisure and entertainment, had become a bloody hell.
Zhou Lei, though a veteran, felt particularly depressed, sad, and angry at this scene. The people lying there were all living beings not long ago.
Gao Feng also took a peek. He was mentally prepared and had seen many such scenes. As his memories continued to merge, such scenes no longer shocked him.
"They were attacked by lizardmen and shadow wolves," Gao Feng said. Though they were over 200 meters away, he noticed the large bite marks and broken limbs on the bodies, making it easy to make the judgment.
Zhou Lei was even more surprised. Proficiency in sword techniques and secret arts could be taught. Courage in battle could be innate. But battlefield observation required real experience. Where had this young man learned all this?
Gao Feng knew it would raise suspicions, but the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to worry about it. "Shadow wolves, though in animal form, are among the most cunning and vicious creatures in the underground races."
"What do you plan to do?" Zhou Lei had his own ideas but still wanted to hear Gao Feng's opinion.
Gao Feng looked at Zhou Lei, "Time is short; we can only charge through."
Zhou Lei was puzzled. Without knowing the enemy's situation, rushing in would be suicide! The base had three shelters. If this one didn't work, they could try another place. If all else failed, they could find a relatively enclosed area to hide.
Gao Feng looked into Zhou Lei's eyes seriously, "Brother Zhou, your light armor can't last long. We don't have time to hesitate; we need to charge through and create a path. Delaying will only make it worse..."
Feeling Gao Feng's determination, Zhou Lei thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I trust you." It was easy to say, but if Gao Feng's judgment was wrong, Zhou Lei would risk his life. If not for Gao Feng saving him and his extraordinary performance, Zhou Lei would never have trusted a teenager so easily.
Gao Feng felt relieved. If he couldn't convince Zhou Lei, it would be troublesome. Zhou Lei was a decisive person. Once he made up his mind, he had no hesitation. He followed Gao Feng quickly to the lawn in front of the Anfu Building.
Two tall lizardmen emerged from either side of the building. Behind Gao Feng and Zhou Lei, five giant wolves silently appeared.
These giant wolves emitted a faint blue glow, each as large as a calf, with green, cruel eyes. They moved silently, appearing like ghosts in the dark night.
Gao Feng knew that these shadow wolves had a special ability to use light to become invisible. Of course, their invisibility required them to be still. The faint blue glow they emitted also had the ability to confuse the eyes. Shadow wolves were the most treacherous and terrifying killers in the underground world.
Zhou Lei, seeing the five shadow wolves, felt a chill. He knew the power of shadow wolves. Even with his fist armor, he was no match for so many of them.
"You deal with the lizardmen; I'll handle the shadow wolves," Gao Feng ordered calmly.
Zhou Lei, though feeling there was no way out, instinctively obeyed, "Yes."
After agreeing, Zhou Lei felt something was off, but Gao Feng had already charged at the five shadow wolves. The two lizardmen in front also flanked from both sides. Zhou Lei, with no choice, roared and charged at the lizardmen. In his heart, he still held a glimmer of hope that Gao Feng could create a miracle.
Gao Feng, however, wasn't as pessimistic as Zhou Lei. The five shadow wolves were within his expectations. Although shadow wolves were terrifying, their actual combat power was inferior to lizardmen. They lacked the hard, armor-like scales of the lizardmen.
Shadow wolves were very cunning creatures. Seeing Gao Feng charge fearlessly, the two leading shadow wolves slowed down, while the other three accelerated, flanking from both sides to form a包围圈.
Gao Feng ignored the shadow wolves on both sides and charged directly at the one in front. The shadow wolf didn't dodge but pounced at Gao Feng. As it leaped, the faint blue glow left a clear trail in Gao Feng's eyes.
Two sword lights intersected and flashed, forming a dazzling cross in the air. However, the sword light struck the shadow wolf's back.
A piercing howl echoed as a shadow wolf appeared where the sword light pointed. The shadow wolf, with its belly split open by the cross-shaped sword light, fell to the lawn, writhing in pain and leaving a trail of blood.
In just one encounter, a shadow wolf was severely injured. The other shadow wolves, intimidated by Gao Feng's momentum, hesitated.
