"Who are you? What do you want with me?" Shen Feng became vigilant as soon as he saw a group of people emerge from the woods, and began to question them.
The group from the woods quickly introduced themselves, saying, "Lord Shen Feng, please do not make a move. We are from Ice City. Our City Lord wishes to invite you to discuss a grand plan, which is why we have come to find you. We are not enemies."
Upon hearing this, Shen Feng became puzzled and asked, "Who is your City Lord? What does he want with me?"
At this time, Shen Feng was in the deep mountains and old forests outside the pass. He remembered that he had no acquaintances in the Northeast. It was strange that someone was suddenly looking for him.
"Our City Lord is named He Qiuan, and our Vice City Lord is named Gong Changfa. Both of them are your friends. You haven't forgotten them, have you?" the group quickly explained.
Shen Feng was stunned when he heard the names of these two. He hadn't heard their names for five years, and he had almost forgotten them. The main reason was that Shen Feng had never seen these two at meetings over the years. Logically, these two should have appeared at important meetings, but they never did. Shen Feng had gradually forgotten them until now, when they were brought up, and Shen Feng suddenly remembered.
"So they are still alive? I thought they were all dead. How did Ice City suddenly have news? Didn't the mutated birds destroy the entire Northeast back then?" Shen Feng was full of doubts. Five years ago, when the mutated birds migrated south, the Northeast suffered huge losses first. Countless cities were destroyed, and the people were displaced. In the past few years, there had been no news from the Northeast. Everyone assumed that there were no big cities left there. But suddenly hearing that Ice City still existed, Shen Feng couldn't help but be curious.
"Lord Fengshen, why don't you go and see for yourself? The City Lord and Vice City Lord are waiting to discuss a grand plan with you," the group explained.
"Discuss a grand plan! I was just about to go home. Why are you looking for me now?" Shen Feng said grumpily.
"Our City Lord's intention is very simple. He wants to invite you over and work together to eliminate the mutated birds," these people quickly replied.
Shen Feng originally did not intend to accept their invitation, because he was disheartened and was about to give up an unrealistic idea. However, seeing the earnest eyes of the people around him, Shen Feng could only grit his teeth and say, "Then let's go to Ice City and take a look. We'll set off immediately. You guys go ahead first."
These people quickly explained, "We'll lead the way for you. Without us, you might not be able to get through this forest. Lord Fengshen must know that there are mushroom forests in the southwest, but there are also mushroom forests in our Northeast, and they are even more terrifying. If you accidentally enter a mushroom forest, you might suffer heavy losses."
Shen Feng pointed to the people around him and said, "Look at them, they all have hang gliders. We will definitely set off from the air and go directly to Ice City. We will not walk through the forest, so there will be no danger for us. You can rest assured."
When Shen Feng said this, the people opposite them also realized that with Shen Feng, the undisputed God of Wind, present, how could they encounter danger? They were carrying hang gliders, so they could come and go freely, and there was no need for them to worry.
"Brothers, I was planning to disband. But now that someone is willing to discuss the matter of eliminating the mutated birds with us, let's head to Ice City first to investigate. If there is still a chance, we will continue to fight. But if there is no hope, then we will go back to our homes as soon as possible," Shen Feng said seriously to everyone.
Upon hearing Shen Feng's explanation, everyone nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's not the worst yet. We must persevere and avenge the dead! Let's go, everyone, let's go to Ice City to investigate."
Next, Shen Feng used his abilities. A strong wind swept through the entire forest, causing sand and stones to fly. Countless dead leaves fell from the trees. The people in the forest then opened their hang gliders and flew into the sky with the help of the wind.
In the past five years, Shen Feng had been able to lead his subordinates to fight everywhere, all thanks to the hang gliders behind them. Flying in the sky was much faster than walking on the ground. Moreover, everyone was an expert in hang gliding, and they could take off even in the forest.
The people of Ice City were stunned to see dark figures soaring into the sky. They had never seen such a sight before. They were all humans, yet they possessed the ability to fly. It was said that the ability to fly came from the hang gliders on their backs, but even so, it was already remarkable.
"We will reach Ice City in half a day. You guys should set off quickly too!" Shen Feng said to the people from Ice City, and then he flew into the sky, catching up with the main force and leading them towards Ice City.
Everyone was already accustomed to moving quickly in the sky. It was not easy for ordinary people to reach another area quickly. Usually, they would need to take a plane or high-speed train to reach another area quickly. But now, with Shen Feng, he could easily lead thousands of people out to battle.
On the distant city walls of Ice City, two people stood against the wind, gazing at the sky in the distance. These two were naturally Shen Feng's old acquaintances, one was He Qiuan, and the other was Gong Changfa.
"It's been five years, and it's finally time for our counterattack. Five years of forbearance are for today's revenge," Gong Changfa said in a deep voice, with a glint of hatred in his eyes.
As long as he thought of what happened five years ago, Gong Changfa couldn't help but want revenge. At that time, he just wanted to find a small city and live in seclusion for the rest of his life. But this world was too cruel, and it didn't even give him such an opportunity. He watched as the people around him died one by one, and he could only endure humiliation and survive to fulfill the last wishes of his comrades, protecting the women and children in the air-raid shelter and ensuring their safe survival.
Therefore, for the past five years, he had been dreaming of revenge, dreaming of killing all the mutated birds one day. Now that they had recuperated for so many years, his chance had finally come.
He Qiuan had similar thoughts. When Yanjing was breached, he had lost his childhood home. At that time, he was very lost and didn't even know what to do in the future. Fortunately, his great-grandfather pointed him in the right direction before he died.
"I have also been thinking about revenge all the time. I have been trying to build and accumulate strength. Even though we have a city with over a million people, we have not actively participated in the power struggles of other forces. But now, our chance has finally come!" He Qiuan also said seriously.
Both of them carried deep hatred, and they had been recuperating and accumulating strength for revenge over the past few years. Now, they finally had the capital for revenge.
"The wind is here, which means they are almost here," Gong Changfa suddenly felt the wind direction change, and he immediately realized that it was a precursor to Shen Feng's arrival.
"Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger. Every time Shen Feng appears, he is accompanied by howling winds. It seems he is truly the Tiger of Yuzhou," He Qiuan laughed.
"Get real, he's not a tiger, he's a dragon. Let's think about how to persuade him later," Gong Changfa said indifferently.
Their judgment was not wrong, because soon the city's radar reacted. They detected a large number of unknown flying objects approaching from more than twenty kilometers away, and their size was considerable. They might be mutated birds, so the people in the city immediately came to the city wall to report to the two of them.
"It's alright, it's not mutated birds. It's our friend, Shen Feng, who has become famous in recent years! There's nothing to worry about. Just wait for them to arrive. However, prepare some more food," He Qiuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing the instructions of the two city lords, the people in the city quickly went to prepare. Since the two city lords said it was alright, then it must be alright.
In the past few years, He Qiuan and Gong Changfa had led many ordinary people to rebuild the city and develop the economy and industry. The status of these two in the hearts of ordinary people was like that of gods. Now that these two said there was no need to worry, they were all relieved.
Not long after, large dark shadows appeared in the sky in the distance. But upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these dark shadows were not ferocious mutated birds, but living people. There were hang gliders on the backs of these people. The person in the lead did not have a hang glider behind him; he flew directly through the air.
The people in the city were very shocked when they saw this scene, and then they began to cheer, because they had long heard of Shen Feng's reputation. They were shocked because it was the first time they had seen such a large group of people flying freely in the sky with hang gliders. The subsequent cheers were because of their admiration for Shen Feng.
In the past five years, many people wanted revenge and began to fight against the mutated birds. However, not many people could persist in doing this. Only one person could persist for five years and continue to do so, and that was Shen Feng.
Now that Shen Feng appeared before these people, they were naturally overjoyed and began to cheer, welcoming the arrival of the God of Wind.
The former Ice City was originally a magnificent city with countless tall buildings. But now, as Shen Feng looked down from a high place, he saw that there were very few buildings taller than ten stories. He couldn't help but sigh, "This city has truly suffered too much hardship. The level of reconstruction is still not very good."
Next, several thousand people landed in the city square. As soon as they landed, they immediately put away their hang gliders and checked them.
"Lord Fengshen, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Lord Fengshen, you must avenge us. All of us will support you."
"Lord Fengshen, you must stay in Ice City for a few more days. We will entertain you well."
As soon as they landed in the square, a group of people were surrounded by the surrounding citizens. They warmly welcomed these newcomers. Shen Feng carefully observed the crowd and found that many of them were women, with very few men, and not many children either.
"Shen Feng, it's been several years. You're still as young as ever, looking like you're in your early twenties!" At this moment, two figures were rushing over from a distance, and in an instant, they appeared on the square. Upon closer inspection, it was Gong Changfa and He Qiuan.
"That's a lot of nonsense. I'm in my twenties, but you guys are all in your thirties?" Shen Feng said with a smile.
The two smiled and didn't say much, but invited Shen Feng to eat: "You've been traveling for a long time and must be hungry. Come with us and have a good meal! By the way, we have a big plan to discuss with you later."
Shen Feng shrugged and said, "I can eat, but let's talk about the rest later."
The days of fighting in the field were not easy, because there was no food or resource replenishment in the wild, so they often went hungry. When they were extremely hungry, they would even eat insects, which Shen Feng would never have looked at before. But now that someone was offering to entertain him, how could he miss such a good opportunity? He had to feast.
