As Song Lufeng's figure gradually emerged in the white light, the core hall of the Xuanwu base was silent.

Everyone stared at him, especially the base fighters who had just experienced a life-and-death situation, each of them with concern and curiosity in their eyes.

He appeared next to the core control panel of the Black Cube. His golden wings had disappeared. Although his robe was still torn, he did not look like he had just returned from a life-and-death battle. On the contrary, his expression... was a little strange.

Song Lufeng stood there, his eyes slightly lowered, as if immersed in some deep thoughts.

There was a barely perceptible curve at the corner of his mouth, like a hidden smile.

His hands clenched slightly, as if a certain warm touch still remained, a real and soft emotion that he had never felt before.

Xu Xiang couldn't help but speak first: "City Lord, where did you go just now? You disappeared suddenly!"

"Yeah, we thought something happened to you!" Shi Zhuang looked up at him, his voice full of concern.

Bai Shuang also came over, her tone always had a bit of cool sharpness:

"City Lord, this crisis has just passed. How did you disappear inexplicably? What is that white light?"

"That scene just now scared everyone."

Lu He leaned against the wall, his tone was a little teasing.

"You know, we didn't even know if the barrier could hold up, and you suddenly disappeared."

Everyone was talking, with concerned and curious looks, but Song Lufeng remained silent.

He just stood there, his slightly raised lips revealing an emotion that could not be ignored.

"Hey, what's that expression?"

Xu Xiang's eyes widened.

"Is this the mayor of our Xuanwu base who is as cold as an iceberg?"

Shi Zhuang narrowed his eyes, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, with a wicked smile on his face:

"I think I figured out something..."

"oh?"

Lu He raised his eyebrows, with gossipy eyes.

"Where did he just come from? Why do I feel like our city lord seems to have... awakened?"

Song Lufeng remained silent, looking across the hall as if he hadn't heard what they said.

But that faint smile never disappeared.

At this time, Shu Weng came up. He had always been an active member of the team. Seeing the tense atmosphere, he couldn't help but joked:

"Lord City Lord, in that flash of white light just now, were you transported away by some strange thing? Don't tell me... who did you go to see? Huh?"

He drew out the words, smiled very ambiguously, and his eyes gleamed with gossip.

Song Lufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, still without saying a word, but his smile seemed to deepen.

Shu Weng was just about to make a couple of bolder jokes when he suddenly noticed Qi Wan, who was standing next to him, giving him a cold look.

"Shut up." The look said it clearly.

Shu Weng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately touched his nose with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. You guys continue, continue!"

He retreated obediently, holding Qi Wan's hand and walked to the side: "Oh, no more jokes, I have something else to do, let's go pack up the supplies!"

Qi Wan didn't say anything, just glanced at him indifferently.

Shu Weng immediately laughed. As a powerful S-level warrior, he was as obedient as a rabbit at this moment.

There were only a few people left in the hall.

"Honestly,"

Lu He took a step closer, his eyes scrutinizing and teasing.

"Lord, this is the first time I've seen this expression on your face."

Song Lufeng raised his eyes and glanced at him. His gaze was still as calm as water, but Lu He sensed a subtle change.

"What expression?" he finally spoke in a flat voice.

Lu He smiled and spread his hands:

"You, with your cold and icy face, are wearing such a mysterious smile today. We are not fools, we can see that you are clearly irritated."

Shi Zhuang snorted and added:

"This is the smell of love."

"Who said it wasn't true?"

Lu He leaned lazily against the wall with a sly smile on his face.

"City Lord, I guess you have secretly gone to see the Savior?"

Song Lufeng paused slightly and glanced at them.

This time, he did not answer, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth already gave everyone the answer.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

"Hehehe."

Xu Xiang finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "The thousand-year-old iron tree is blooming! This is so rare!"

Bai Shuang raised her lips slightly, revealing a rare smile: "That's not bad. No one in the base can be like you. You have been cold-hearted and cold-faced for so many years. It's time to open your mind."

Song Lufeng glanced at them.

"Has the meteorite been cleared, or has the decomposition of the aliens been completed?"

Everyone looked at each other and then dispersed.

But you can't say any more. If you say more, someone will get angry out of embarrassment.

He gently raised his palm and placed it on his chest, and his fingertips seemed to still feel a hint of warmth.

It was the feeling of her falling into his arms just now - so real and so soft.

"Manman..." He silently repeated her name in his heart, and a deeper smile appeared on his face.

I feel touched, but also a little regretful.

That brief moment seemed like a test between them across time and space.

He knew that his heart was already filled with her.

Although that last transmission interrupted his plan to hug her back, it made him more certain of one thing:

Whether in the present or in the future, they will meet again eventually.
