The celebration for peace lasted for a full week.
Things that were previously hoarded were brought out during these days.
Lin Feng was happy to stay in a corner, eating.
He didn't urge Martina either.
The apocalypse had finally ended, and Martina deserved to celebrate this great day with her family and friends.
And Martina, the basic attack player, was clearly greedier.
She expressed her desire to stay with her family for a few more days and celebrate before heading to the Marvel universe with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng pondered over this not-too-exorbitant request and eventually agreed.
He had matters to attend to on his end, and the mission with Ling Lu was probably nearing its completion.
With the help of the symbiote, a mere zombie world was nothing.
Lin Feng needed to return to the outside of the fourth wall and deliver the first wave of technology to his homeland.
If he brought Martina back to the Marvel universe now, she would be left unsupervised.
What if Martina, in a fit of emotion, turned into a walking nuclear bomb? That would be truly delightful.
Here, the good and bad Optimus Prime could help suppress her, though it was debatable whether Optimus Prime could still suppress her now.
To let Martina celebrate with her family with peace of mind, Lin Feng withdrew his clone from the Transformers universe.
His consciousness rapidly returned to his main body.
He found himself back in the zombie world.
Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the dark night sky.
The memories of the past few days quickly flooded his mind, and Lin Feng processed them in an instant.
As Lin Feng had expected, there were no melodramatic twists.
With Ling Lu, who possessed a symbiote, leading the team, completing the mission was a piece of cake.
By now, the missions for everyone in the team were nearing their end.
It was estimated that they would be finished by the morning of the next day.
There was nothing much to say about the zombie mission; it was a headshot to clear it.
Lin Feng remained invisible throughout the entire process and was very satisfied with Ling Lu's performance.
Although the coordination with the symbiote was still a bit rough, the survival rate during missions had greatly increased.
Due to Lin Feng's control over the symbiote, Ling Lu would now consider anything other than instant obliteration to be a minor injury.
The next day, the mission ended smoothly without any mishaps.
Back outside the fourth wall, Ling Lu transformed into Kato Eagle once more and summoned Lin Feng.
The same scene as last time unfolded before Lin Feng.
Familiarity breeds ease, and Lin Feng successfully traversed to the original universe outside the fourth wall.
However, it was a pity that only his soul had traveled back.
Although it was regrettable, the resistance Lin Feng encountered during this traversal was not as strong as the previous time.
This was likely related to Lin Feng's current enhanced strength.
This undoubtedly gave Lin Feng some confidence; as long as he became stronger, he would one day be able to return to the original universe completely.
After greeting Ling Lu, Lin Feng turned invisible and flew high into the sky.
The storage device Tony had given him was kept in his system space, and he could retrieve it even in soul form!
His destination was the heart city of the nation on this continent!
His homeland was also experiencing a bustling night.
Lin Feng, like a ghost, floated above the city under the cover of night.
He needed to find a person in a sufficiently important position and someone he could trust to entrust the advanced technological data.
The data Lin Feng carried was too astonishing; frankly, it was the stuff of science fiction movies.
Soon, Lin Feng identified a suitable candidate.
Elder Zhang sat in a brightly lit room, lighting one cigarette after another.
He was the key person for information exchange and processing within the General Administration.
Almost all national affairs, big or small, had to be submitted through him.
At this moment, piles of documents were neatly stacked beside him.
Originally, these tasks could have been handed over to his subordinates.
Many things did not require him to personally attend to every detail, but given the current state of the nation, with frequent natural and man-made disasters, he could not rest easy.
For the sake of better development and peace, if Elder Zhang did not see things through, he could not sleep…
After these documents were organized, whether they were to be sent back for revision or submitted, strict scrutiny was required!
"Elder, you should rest!"
A cup of strong tea was slowly placed on the table.
The pendulum clock in the corner struck twelve, marking the time as late night.
Elder Zhang picked up the teacup. The tea was somewhat bitter but exceptionally refreshing.
After the tea, the smoke from his cigarette rose again.
"Cough, cough..."
A coughing sound rang out. The young woman who brought the tea from the corner turned her head away with a hint of distress and sighed.
"Let the subordinates handle it. You don't need to personally handle every single matter!"
"Everyone is concerned about your health!"
The young woman complained with a trace of heartache.
Elder Zhang waved his hand with a chuckle.
"Alas, I'm old, and even smoking makes me choke."
"But if I don't look, I can't feel at ease!" Elder Zhang said with a gentle smile.
"These things will eventually be seen. If not today, then tomorrow."
"This is the last one. After I finish this last one, I'll sleep!"
His words held a hint of perfunctoriness, but the young woman knew that once Elder Zhang made up his mind, she couldn't persuade him.
With that, Elder Zhang picked up his teacup again, picked up the next document, and began to examine it…
The young woman sighed inwardly and quietly withdrew from the room.
Outside the door, two guards armed with guns stood erect.
The young woman said hello and left.
The guards did not speak, standing like statues, guarding the person inside the room.
They, too, worked hard…
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
The pendulum clock struck again.
This time, it was a single chime, signifying one in the morning…
Elder Zhang rubbed his shoulders, his visible fatigue undeniable, yet he showed no intention of stopping.
The promised "last one" turned out to be one after another…
"Alas…"
After a long while, a sigh that should not have been there echoed in the room…
Unnoticed, a semi-transparent soul drifted in Elder Zhang's room, as did the young woman who brought the tea…
Lin Feng had been there for quite some time, observing silently for a while before letting out that sigh.
"Elder, aren't you going to rest yet?"
Lin Feng couldn't help but speak softly.
In the quiet room, his voice appeared very abruptly.
It finally interrupted Elder Zhang's thoughts.
Elder Zhang's hand, which was reviewing the document, paused, and his eyelids twitched.
It was an unfamiliar voice.
But he wasn't overly worried.
He knew where he was; hostile forces couldn't possibly penetrate this place…
He gently placed the paper face down on the table and slowly turned around.
Instantly, his pupils contracted…
"Sleep?"
"I can't sleep…"
Elder Zhang's hand rested casually on the armrest of the metal chair, and he subtly pressed a hidden button at the bottom of the armrest.
Such buttons were present in many places.
Although the security here was so tight that even mosquitoes couldn't get in,
what did Eastern people value? Preparedness!
Lin Feng saw this subtle movement clearly and sighed again.
Apart from heartache and admiration, Lin Feng had no other thoughts.
He completely understood Elder Zhang's actions; his existence was too strange.
However, with Lin Feng's abilities, the button under the chair armrest would naturally have no effect!
