Immediately afterwards, several men carrying heavy machine guns emerged from the dense forest.
These men had sharp eyes, and each of them was shirtless, wearing only colorful shorts. They were all strong and muscular, with powerful muscles under their dark skin. Their bodies were covered with scars of all sizes, and some even had terrifying and hideous knife scars on their faces. It was clear at a glance that these men had lived a life of danger and bloodshed.
When they saw Fu Huaijin's signature silver hair, they spat out a curse, spat their cigarettes on the ground, and crushed the unburnt cigarette butts with their feet.
"President Fu..." The man's voice was rough and booming, so loud that it shook the leaves of the surrounding trees, causing two leaves to fall.
Fu Huaijin frowned slightly in displeasure, looked up and covered Su Yuxi's ears, afraid of frightening her.
The man raised an eyebrow wickedly and burst into laughter: "I didn't expect President Fu to be so chivalrous now."
I've never seen him bring a girl over before.
Fu Huaijin glared at him sharply, warning him to stop.
The man immediately stopped talking, scratching his head sheepishly: "Okay, sorry, it's my fault. We roughnecks are used to speaking so loudly."
"Let's go, Uncle Long is already waiting for you inside."
As he walked inside, Fu Huaijin released Su Yuxi's ear, his actions and eyes full of protection: "It's okay, just follow me."
He took her hand and led her step by step inside.
As he walked, Fu Huaijin suddenly stopped, as if an invisible force was pulling at his nerves.
At that moment, my hearing became exceptionally sensitive. In addition to hearing the chirping of insects and birds around me, I could also detect the rustling of falling leaves and the sprouting of grass under the withered leaves.
He looked around in surprise, and finally his gaze fell in one direction. His pupils suddenly contracted, and the thing in front of him seemed to be wound up, quickly passing through the dappled light and shadow in the forest, and finally settling on the small village five kilometers away.
He could clearly see the busy figures in the village: children were whittling tree branches, adults were sharpening knives and fighting, and women were drinking water and whispering. It was so far away, yet so close.
As Su Yuxi walked, she noticed the man behind her had stopped. She turned around in confusion and called out to him, "Come on, what are you standing there for?"
Fu Huaijin abruptly pulled his wandering thoughts back, staring intently at her. Seeing her puzzled look, he gently shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips: "It's nothing, let's go."
He held the person tightly and continued walking inside. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, turning into dappled spots of light that danced on the two of them.
Su Yu found him very strange. She turned her head several times to look at his handsome profile. It was the same face, so why did a strange warm feeling arise in her heart this time?
Although she didn't know how to define this feeling, she felt very comfortable.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a small village.
Fu Huaijin glanced at everyone and everything here, taking it all into his mind.
The location and people of these things were exactly the same as those I had just seen five kilometers away, which meant that my previous abnormality was not an illusion.
There were many people in the village. When they saw them arrive, everyone stopped what they were doing, stood up, and stared at them warily.
"Get on with your own business and don't meddle!" The burly man roared, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, busying themselves with their own affairs.
Hearing the commotion outside, the people inside hurriedly opened the door and came out.
"Brother Long, I've brought the man." The burly man roared, then led his brothers to do other things.
The man had a fleshy face, a bald head, and a thin cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Su Yuxi with a hint of amusement in his eager eyes.
Fu Huaijin stepped forward, shielding the person behind him, his voice icy and his aura imposing: "Thing..."
The bald man noticed that today's customer was angry, realizing that the girl wasn't a gift for him, and disappointedly looked away: "Yes, I have one."
The two then communicated in a strange language, the bald man's tone somewhat humble and ingratiating, before leading them into an inner room, while their bodyguards stood guard outside.
Su Yuxi couldn't understand anything at all. She didn't want to go with them, but Fu Huaijin insisted on pulling her along, unwilling to leave her behind.
After the bald man went inside, he took out a key from the drawer, inserted it into a wooden box on the wall, turned it twice with a creaking sound, entered the password, and then took out an iron box from inside and handed it to Fu Huaijin.
"Here's what you wanted. It took me hundreds of brothers to get it. Don't forget what you promised me."
Fu Huaijin stared at the box for more than ten seconds without expression before reaching out to take it. Unexpectedly, the bald man secretly exerted force, showing a silent struggle, unwilling to let go, perhaps waiting for a definite promise from the other party.
Fu Huaijin didn't give him any face. With a slight force in his wrist, he made the other man's wrist go numb for a moment, and successfully took the box into his hand.
Under the slightly surprised gaze of the middle-aged man, he slowly opened the box, revealing a palm-sized world map and a blank A4 sheet of paper inside.
Fu Huaijin gently picked up the map with his two slender fingers, glanced at it, and then closed it again, nodding in satisfaction.
"If the situation is true, I will send the equipment over within three days."
Su Yuxi's questioning gaze shifted between the two of them, wondering what kind of riddle they were playing. They were either chattering away or only telling her half the story and leaving her guessing.
"Alright, then let's wait for Mr. Fu's good news."
The two then started talking in a gibberish language, with Su Yuxi standing next to him like she was invisible, which was extremely boring.
She stretched out two fingers and tugged at Fu Huaijin's clothes, intending to say: You guys talk your business, can I leave first? Standing here like this makes me look like an idiot.
Fu Huaijin gently patted her hand to comfort her, then turned to the bald man and said, "That's enough. Contact Secretary Yang if you need anything."
The bald man grinned uncontrollably, as if he had won the lottery: "Okay, okay, as long as President Fu is generous enough, we will definitely work even harder."
Fu Huaijin stopped rambling on and led Su Yuxi outside, saying, "Alright, let's go back."
Su Yuxi was overjoyed, finally able to leave this monotonous and boring place, and walked with more eager steps than ever before.
Just as she opened the door to go out, a tall figure blocked her way, and she almost bumped into him.
The person who came in was ten centimeters shorter than Fu Huaijin, and had to tilt his head slightly to look at him.
The sight of that person annoyed him, especially that face, which made him even more upset. His thick eyebrows were tightly pressed together, and his tone was very sharp: "Get out of the way."
