My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

Chapter 2081 They Sacrificed

"Chen Xiaojing and Wei Yang...they sacrificed their lives."

As soon as Ding Wei spoke...

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in Yang Feng's mind.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down and asked, "What happened?"

"Back in Europe, the families controlled by Shanhe tried to kidnap a group of people. They fought desperately to stop them, but in the end..."

Ding Wei didn't have the courage to continue speaking.

The scene from back then seemed to reappear in his mind.

Yang Feng's expression also dipped slightly at this moment.

Much later.

Yang Feng finally took a deep breath and asked, "Where are their graves?"

"No……"

Ding Wei lowered his head and said, "Fierce fighting broke out throughout the region, and our mission was to gather supplies, so... many people didn't have graves."

"..."

Yang Feng fell silent again.

Perhaps this is a certain norm in this world.

But when it actually happened to him, Yang Feng still felt an undeniable sense of dejection.

"Green hills everywhere bury loyal bones; why must they be wrapped in horsehide to return home..."

Yang Feng patted Ding Wei on the shoulder and said, "What about the others? The ones from the intelligence team and the mobile team."

"About half of these people were killed, but the rest came here with us. They all have missions. Order has just been restored in the area. I came back to collect some data and then I have to go back to the front line."

As Ding Wei spoke, his mood changed.

He forced a smile and said optimistically, "Anyway, at least everyone is settled now. Although it's only for three years, every extra day is a day more, so I still want to thank you."

"No, for humanity to truly survive, it must rely on itself."

"I know you'll have to fight Chaos again then, right?"

"Ah."

"If possible, I will lend you all my luck, including Wei Yang's and the others' share."

When Ding Wei smiled, his eyes were slightly red.

No matter how easily he put it.

But they were, after all, comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side.

Yang Feng took a deep breath and said, "I'll go up first."

He seemed unwilling to continue communicating with Ding Wei.

Inside the elevator.

Yang Feng wiped his eyes.

He sucked back the tears that were about to fall.

Step out of the elevator.

This is the top floor of the building.

In front of that is the office of Jiang Guoping, director of the Investigation Bureau.

However, compared to the past, this place now appears somewhat chaotic and disorganized.

The corridor was packed with people.

Many people had things they considered most important to discuss and report to Jiang Guoping.

This also shows that the core strength of the investigation bureau has not yet been fully restored.

With many positions left unattended, all the tasks were piled up on Jiang Guoping's shoulders.

Yang Feng dared not reveal his identity here, otherwise it would only cause unnecessary chaos.

He waited at the door like everyone else in line.

There were fewer and fewer people in the corridor.

Yang Feng arrived here in the morning.

But as the sun gradually set...

There was still one person in the corridor.

Yang Feng stood there alone, looking at the sky outside.

He cannot see the sun.

Because the sun was covered by a thick layer of black surrounding it.

At this moment, the sky seemed to be missing a corner, just like when Nuwa mended the sky.

But in that missing corner, the sunlight that humans depend on for survival shines down.

As the last person walked out of the office.

Yang Feng looked at him and asked, "Is no one inside?"

"Nothing."

"Thank you."

Yang Feng finally got up and walked inside.

Jiang Guoping was just about to get up to pour water.

Hearing the door open, he prepared to sit down again.

"It's been a long time, Director Jiang."

Yang Feng recognized the voice.

Jiang Guoping's face lit up with surprise upon hearing the voice.

"Yang Feng!"

This was the excited shout that came out of his head without thinking.

The young assistant, who was in his twenties, looked at Yang Feng with surprise almost simultaneously.

His eyes held an undisguised reverence, as well as disbelief at having actually met Yang Feng.

Yang Feng sighed and said, "Luckily, no one was there when I came in. Your reaction would have caused a commotion."

"Haha, I'm used to it."

Jiang Guoping laughed loudly.

He quickly led Yang Feng to sit down on the sofa next to him.

Jiang Guoping rummaged through the drawers and found some tea leaves, saying, "I just brought this tea back a while ago. It probably doesn't taste very good, but don't be too picky."

"Hey, these days it's already pretty good to be able to get any tea."

"Yes, this stuff isn't grown here; it's all stock from other places."

As Jiang Guoping brewed tea, he said to his assistant, "Xiao Zhang, you can go home now. I can handle the rest of the work myself."

"Okay... okay."

Before leaving, Xiao Zhang looked back inside with some lingering reluctance.

Yang Feng seemed to notice his thoughts and smiled, saying, "Be careful."

"Yes!!!"

Xiao Zhang's tone immediately rose considerably.

He seemed to finally feel like he could say a word to the legendary person.

As Jiang Guoping watched him leave, he smiled and said, "You're very popular here. It seems some locals even regard you as a new deity."

"Isn't it a religion that many people follow?"

"Yes, after all, there are all kinds of people here now."

Jiang Guoping poured tea for Yang Feng and then said, "But that's normal. After all, anyone would think that if someone suddenly spoke to them from the sky."

"Well, I came to ask you how things are here, and if there's anything I can help you with?"

Yang Feng asked.

Jiang Guoping nodded and said, "It's alright now, after all, this is a tropical region, but the climate is the opposite of that in China, since it's in the Southern Hemisphere."

"Hmm, and it seems the temperature here is higher than normal, probably because the heat is being blocked from other areas?"

"Almost. Today's high temperature is nearly 30 degrees Celsius, and it will get even hotter in the coming days."

Jiang Guoping continued, "The good news is that we now have a large number of ancient martial arts practitioners who can use special martial arts techniques to create ice blocks or help everyone settle down, although the efficiency..."

"A few laborers will probably be coming over soon. I'll have them get you some ice."

"You mean Murong and the others? But didn't they go to Chu Village?"

Jiang Guoping asked.

Yang Feng's helpless expression didn't require an answer.

Jiang Guoping immediately understood and laughed, saying, "It seems things aren't going too smoothly; they're not too willing to hide inside."

"Actually, it's right for them to be inside. After all, if there aren't strong people inside to take care of those outsiders, I'm worried that the Chu Village will reject them."

Yang Feng sighed.

This was also the reason he initially sent Murong Wan and the others inside.
