Meeting Up

Baili Qingfeng led Zhao Si toward Xia Country. After walking less than sixty kilometers, he successfully encountered Commander Qiao Sen and the others, who had urgently pursued him with thirty thousand elite troops to reinforce him.

Seeing this massive army, Baili Qingfeng felt somewhat moved.

He was wearing battle armor, had not brought a single bag, and had to carry a person on his back while also hauling dozens of kilograms of weapons and armor...

It was not particularly heavy, but it was awkward to carry.

Now that he had encountered Commander Qiao Sen and the others, he could finally borrow a vehicle from them.

"Phew!"

Seeing Baili Qingfeng return safe and sound, Qiao Sen also let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the air force's reconnaissance units had been following Baili Qingfeng all along and watching over his safety, ready to provide immediate support if they detected signs of him being surrounded by Cavemen, they had been forced to withdraw after entering Aurora Empire territory in the face of Aurora Empire's air defenses. As a result, Commander Qiao Sen had lost track of Baili Qingfeng for nearly an hour.

Fortunately...

Not only was Baili Qingfeng's battle armor undamaged this time, he was nowhere near the miserable state of being on the verge of death after narrowly surviving, as he had been earlier.

"Qingfeng, it's wonderful that you're safe."

After exhaling in relief, Qiao Sen's gaze fell on Zhao Si, whom Baili Qingfeng was carrying on his back. "This is..."

"This is Zhao Si, Old man Zhao."

Baili Qingfeng introduced him. "He was hunted by people from Aurora Empire and only barely managed to escape. I encountered him on the way and rescued him."

After saying that, he added emotionally, "The other people from Aurora Empire are truly awful.
