Xu Xing would frequently throw herself into Shen Feng's arms. For Shen Feng, this was a test of his patience. If he were to remain indifferent to this beautiful woman before him, he would truly be made of wood.
And so, Shen Feng's actions became much more practiced. He would often embrace Xu Xing, much to her shy delight. This was akin to the saying, "She's usually very flirtatious, but when you want to get intimate, she refuses."
"We can't rush our progress. Let's wait until we return home. I'll find an opportunity to tell my mother about this!" Xu Xing shyly said to Shen Feng.
Upon hearing this, Shen Feng withdrew his hand and immediately replied, "If you tell your mother, let's forget about it. Knowing her personality, she'll definitely find a way to make this public and then force me to marry you under public pressure."
Xu Xing nodded. Although she had spent a considerable amount of time with the idol of her heart, and as the saying goes, distance creates beauty, when the two spent prolonged periods together, they discovered each other's previously unnoticed flaws, and the beauty naturally vanished. However, Xu Xing did not develop any aversion to Shen Feng. Instead, she developed new feelings for him, which could be described as admiration.
Afterward, Xu Xing never brought up the matter again. However, whenever Shen Feng wanted to hold her hand, she did not refuse their closeness. Their relationship remained ambiguously undefined, yet without any substantial progress.
Having left the Amazon rainforest, these survivors had found others. The human settlements could now survive. Only then could Shen Feng take Xu Xing away by air. In many cities across South America, there were no signal towers. They lived in isolation, as this region had always been the most backward. While there was the Mayan civilization in ancient times, this civilization had long since become extinct. Most people living here could only be considered primitive. A small portion had learned agriculture and animal husbandry, with the latter involving alpacas.
Due to the unique circumstances in South America, Shen Feng's attempts to contact his family to understand the situation were repeatedly unsuccessful. He could only carry Xu Xing on his back and fly towards North America. After a week, they arrived in New York, where a luxurious passenger jet was already prepared.
As Shen Feng landed with Xu Xing from the sky, they were soon warmly welcomed by the locals. Tom enthusiastically said, "After such a long time, you two have finally returned from South America. You went south for nearly two and a half months, and now it's summer. You must have worked hard. Did you successfully obtain the alien data!"
"We have obtained the data, and we also learned a shocking piece of news: aliens might have already gone extinct!" Shen Feng shrugged.
"So, you did find Astra? Did you happen to kill that scoundrel while you were at it?" Tom quickly asked.
Astra had committed many major crimes in North America. The number of people he had killed could be estimated by the number of cities. Wherever he went, he liked to capture locals for experiments. Each time he conducted an experiment, he would kill the entire population of a city. Therefore, many people harbored deep hatred for this despicable individual. They had once worked together to drive this demon to South America, thus ending his rampant evil in North America.
Now that Shen Feng had found Astra in the Amazon rainforest, the question was whether he had killed this demon.
Shen Feng then calmly replied, "I originally intended to kill him, but he used the entire human population of the Amazon rainforest as a stake. I dared not kill him, so I could only reach a deal with him. He will no longer arbitrarily capture humans for experiments; he will only seek out death row inmates and the like for his experiments. We both took a step back, and I obtained the data I wanted. That's all."
Tom's eyes darted. He knew how precious alien data was. This secret had been kept by the state for twenty years. Therefore, this item was unique in the world, having been deciphered after 20 years of research. It was naturally extremely valuable. If it were to be easily taken away like this, he would be letting down everyone in North America.
Thus, Tom quickly said, "Mr. Shen, I have some news I want to tell you. This news is very urgent and comes from China. But I also have a request. I hope I can copy the alien data, as we also want to know what secrets aliens hold."
Upon hearing that there was news from China, Shen Feng immediately became nervous. He then said, "Tell me quickly what this news is. As for you wanting to copy the contents of this USB drive, feel free. Just remember to return the USB drive to me, and do not alter its contents!"
Tom was overjoyed. He never expected to obtain such valuable data from the other party so easily. He immediately instructed his subordinates to start copying the contents of the USB drive and informed Shen Feng of what had happened.
"Actually, this matter is related to Yuzhou, and it is closely related to you, Mr. Shen. It is said that giant insects have appeared all over China, and some of these insects have reached Yuzhou city by the Yangtze River, causing casualties among the city's inhabitants. Your brother-in-law also died in this battle. Your wives wanted to contact you urgently to return, but we couldn't reach you, as we had no signal in the rainforest. In the end, we could only wait for your return. Now that you are back, we can only deliver this news to you."
However, upon hearing this, Shen Feng immediately became tense. His weakness was his family. He never expected his family to be truly harmed, and his brother-in-law Xiao Sheng had already died. This would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his sister!
"I see a luxurious passenger jet nearby. This must be prepared for me. If so, quickly load all the artifacts onto it. We need to return immediately. Also, find me a pilot who is proficient in navigation!" Shen Feng immediately requested to return to Yuzhou.
Tom had no reason to object. Copying the data would only take a few minutes. However, Xu Xing said to Shen Feng, "Don't forget Professor Niu's daughter. We promised her that we would bring her and her child back to China! If we leave now, won't we be breaking our promise?"
"Then hurry and take me to find her, and bring her over. We don't have time to delay. We must hurry back. Since our family is in trouble, we cannot delay any longer. I have already wasted a lot of time abroad, nearly six months wandering outside!" Shen Feng said anxiously.
Xu Xing also understood the seriousness of the situation, as she knew her mother was still in Yuzhou. If there were major casualties in Yuzhou city, her mother might also be in danger.
Thus, Xu Xing leaned on Shen Feng's back and pointed him in the direction. After indicating the direction, Shen Feng immediately flew rapidly towards it. In just one day, they found the village inhabited by the Chinese diaspora.
Due to the hasty departure, Shen Feng had not had time to retrieve the USB drive in his hand. However, Tom did not dare to keep the USB drive for himself; he only wanted the data. When Shen Feng returned, he would hand over the USB drive with both hands.
"Mr. Tom, this extraordinary person who came all the way from China is very powerful, and he must have evolutionary crystals in his mind. If we can find a way to kill him, we will definitely gain a lot of benefits. And as long as we kill him and keep it a secret, others will not know!" At this moment, a cunning advisor offered such a poisonous scheme.
Upon hearing this, Tom became enraged. He then said, "You guys are truly audacious! If we cannot successfully implement this plan, we will surely anger him. He can summon typhoons, and then most of our coastal cities will be ruined. Who will compensate for the losses incurred then? Have you considered this problem?"
Tom was truly exasperated by the stupidity of his subordinates. If these people were a bit smarter, they would not have proposed such a foolish plan. Shen Feng could summon typhoons. Once a typhoon appeared on the East Coast, all the major cities to the east would suffer immense losses, and countless people would lose their homes and families. Most importantly, many large consortiums would suffer heavy losses, losses that could not be compensated for in a short period.
Thus, the cunning advisor had to retreat in shame.
When Shen Feng and Xu Xing arrived at the small town inhabited by the Chinese diaspora, they found that the surrounding farmland was filled with crops. These crops were growing very well and seemed to be unaffected by any insects. It could be imagined that they would have a bountiful harvest in the autumn.
After landing, Xu Xing began to inquire, "Where is Miss Niu? We are here to take her and her child away. Hurry and find her."
However, when the people saw Xu Xing, they were happy for a moment, but after hearing the question, their emotions immediately became low. Finally, they replied, "Miss Niu contracted the flu and passed away. Only her child is still alive and survives by drinking milk powder every day!"
Xu Xing could not believe what she had heard, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidding me? Or are you jealous that she could be taken away by us, so you secretly harmed her?"
"How would we dare to do such a thing? It is true that she died from the flu. Miss Xing, you don't know, the flu in North America is not ordinary poison. This flu can kill a person in just a few days after infection! This flu is not on the same level as the flu you encountered in China!" everyone quickly defended themselves, fearing they would be mistaken for murderers if they didn't.
Shen Feng sighed and then said, "Since Miss Niu has passed away, there is nothing that can be done. Bring the child here. Does she have any belongings or a will? Hand them over to me as well. We are leaving North America!"
The crowd quickly replied, "Besides the infant left behind, there is also a will that has already been written. We will bring it over immediately!"
