Super Invincible Battleship

77  Chapter 60 Rebirth Change

Old Man Gu laughed heartily and surprisingly pulled out a China UnionPay POS machine from the backpack behind him, setting it before Yan Fei, who stood there dumbfounded. Then Old Man Gu said, "How could someone like me, capable of foreseeing the future, not be well-prepared?"

Yan Fei reached into his pocket, but in fact, he was taking his bank card out from the Universal Space. He swiped it on the old man's POS machine, keyed in an amount of one million, and said, "Is that enough?"

The white-bearded old man glanced at the amount, nodded slightly, and said, "A teachable young man. Since you are so sincere, I will help you one last time. Who among you two will write this time?"

Wen Rou kept waving her hands, saying, "Actually, I just want to know if my parents are still in this world, if they love me—that's all I really care about. Little Fei, you go ahead!"

Without any hesitation, Yan Fei grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, thought for a moment, wrote down his question, and then folded the paper, pushing it towards the white-bearded old man. The old man unfolded the paper to take a look, then pushed it back to him. He opened the drawer under the table, reached in again, and pulled out an envelope, handing it to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei was astounded. He had just carefully observed the drawer below; after Old Man Gu had taken out two envelopes, it was empty—there was nothing. How could another envelope appear now? He had been paying close attention to the drawer, and the curtain around it had been torn away by him. So, it was impossible for the envelope to be secretly written and placed there by someone under the table, and with Yan Fei's watchful eye, it was impossible for anyone to slip the envelope in quietly. Thus, the appearance of this envelope was quite mysterious.

As Yan Fei was secretly shocked, suddenly, a bunch of sparks erupted from wires in the distant market, a short circuit had occurred, and instantly, all the market lights went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Yan Fei quickly grabbed the little hand of Wen Rou beside him and said, "Little Rou, don't be afraid, I'm right here."

The sudden darkness made Wen Rou somewhat scared; her body trembled slightly, but as Yan Fei held her hand, she regained her composure. After the electrical short circuit, the backup power supply quickly started, and within a matter of seconds, the market's power was restored, and the lights came back on, returning light to the surroundings.

Yan Fei had taken hold of Wen Rou's hand in the darkness, and even when the lights came back on, he did not let go. Wen Rou blushed slightly but did not break free.

When Yan Fei looked forward again, he found that Old Man Gu had disappeared into thin air, and even his simple stall had vanished. Had it not been for Old Man Gu leaving behind so many shocks, Yan Fei might have doubted whether the old man had ever existed.

Wen Rou also noticed that Old Man Gu was gone, and confusedly said, "Strange, how did the old man disappear all of a sudden?"

Yan Fei was stunned on the inside. He picked up the envelope in his hand, pulled out a folded piece of paper, and found it was actually a map of China, a map he was most familiar with. On the map, a circle had been drawn with a pencil over the ocean on the eastern side of China, encompassing territories of China, South Korea, North Korea, and even some parts of the North Pacific Ocean, with the words written on it, "Development opportunity lies within these waters!"

Yan Fei picked up the piece of paper with his written question and saw it read, "Where lies my future development direction?"

At this point, Yan Fei couldn't help but believe in Old Man Gu's abilities. He sighed with admiration, this Old Man Gu was indeed a remarkable person with the ability to forecast the future. Yan Fei deeply regretted missing the chance to further connect with such an astonishing individual!

After this trip to the market, the relationship between Yan Fei and Wen Rou had grown much closer. Sometimes Wen Rou would come to Yan Fei for updates about domestic affairs in China. Yan Fei was very happy to share the information with her, sparking Wen Rou's desire to return to China for a visit.

One day, Yan Fei took time off to explore upstream along the small river in the Aywei Village. The river was clear and only contained small fish, with no ferocious beasts nearby. Yan Fei was greatly relieved—for if there were ferocious man-eating beasts, he might have been devoured while unconscious before even meeting Wen Rou and her medical team!

Yan Fei followed the river upstream and walked more than fifty kilometers before reaching the source of the river. The source was a huge deep pool with an astonishingly high waterfall, where one could not see the end of the waterfall from the deep pool below. The waterfall was abundant with water, and the colossal flow created a deafening roar as it converged into the deep pool below.

Upon seeing the terrain, Yan Fei was sure this waterfall was the same one he had seen from the cliff. That night, he was attacked by missiles, and jumping off the cliff at the last moment, his lucky survival was due to landing in the deep pool below. He then floated downstream along the river, which led to Wen Rou finding him.

Yan Fei observed the waterfall and noticed that although the cliff walls had been smoothed by the waterfall, small trees and plants were growing out of the crevices in the rocks. Yan Fei tidied up his clothes and then began to climb up.

After that night's life-and-death battle, Yan Fei had a deeper understanding of how to use his inner strength. Thanks to his considerable strength and the fact it was daytime, he climbed up the cliff with ease, navigating rocks and small trees skillfully—his agility outshining that of climbing monkeys.

Quickly, Yan Fei passed through the cloud blockade in the air and climbed up to the top of the cliff. Only then did he realize that the cliff had completely changed its appearance. After the missile attack, the entire cliff had collapsed, and even the hard rocks were blasted into pieces. This forced Yan Fei to marvel at the astonishing power of the US Army's missiles. It was fortunate that he had made the split-second decision to jump off the cliff; otherwise, he would have been pulverized by the missile attack.

Yan Fei did not see the body of the blonde woman at the site. Her body must have also been destroyed in the missile attack. If it weren't for the traces of dried red blood found nearby, no one would have imagined that a person had been killed here.

This was the battlefield where Yan Fei had fought a series of fierce battles with the US Army. He dared not take it lightly and cautiously retraced the route he took while chasing the blonde woman. It was daytime now, and he could clearly see the massive destruction caused by the drone attack that night. Under the attack of the powerful 30 millimeter naval cannon and various missiles, the primitive jungle was filled with huge craters, and even some large ancient trees were uprooted.

This was the first time Yan Fei had witnessed the power of a drone during the daytime, and he was immediately given a more direct impression of the power of high-tech weapons.

Yan Fei advanced stealthily. Although he could still find scenes of destruction caused by the drones, the bodies of the American soldiers killed by the drones had long vanished without a trace. Even the wreckage of the US military aircraft that had fallen in the nearby area had disappeared completely. It seemed that in the time Yan Fei had been knocked out and was helping with Doctors Without Borders, the US Army had cleaned up the battlefield and recovered all of their equipment, leaving nothing valuable behind.

However, Yan Fei's purpose in returning to the battlefield was not for the US Army's equipment; he was there to find the little chimpanzee he had hidden in a cave.

The little chimpanzee's parents had attacked the blonde woman while Yan Fei was being pursued, which had led to a reversal in strength between the blonde woman and Yan Fei. One could say those two chimpanzees were Yan Fei's lifesavers. Unfortunately, they were later killed by the blonde woman, which could be considered an indirect result of Yan Fei's actions, so he felt obligated to take care of the offspring of the two chimpanzees. Even if he couldn't raise the little chimpanzee himself, he wanted to send it to a zoo where it could survive.

After all, the little chimpanzee was extremely small, possibly not even weaned yet. If the situation hadn't been so dire at the time, Yan Fei wouldn't have hidden it in the cave.

Yan Fei quickly found the cave based on his memory, but to his shock, he discovered that the cave had collapsed. He rushed forward to check and found that the cave entrance was sealed by huge boulders that had fallen from above, making it impossible to enter.

Yan Fei was puzzled. The cave had been formed by an explosion, and it was all made of hard rock—it shouldn't have collapsed. Moreover, after the battle that night, his Drone Avatar had eliminated the US soldiers and left, and the cave had been intact at that time, so how could it collapse? Could it be that the US Army had blown up the cave while cleaning up the battlefield later?

Unable to figure it out, Yan Fei searched around the cave for a while but still found no sign of the little chimpanzee. With no other choice, he reluctantly left. Under these circumstances, the little chimpanzee was surely dead, and Yan Fei felt powerless to change this outcome.

Having not found the little chimpanzee, Yan Fei could only return to the temporary hospital of Doctors Without Borders with regret. Then, he started trying to use a satellite phone from a nearby town to contact Lu Pingping back in China to see if anything could be done for the chimpanzees in Africa as compensation for his guilt.

However, when Yan Fei got in touch with Lu Pingping, he received shocking news. A factory worker had secretly stolen the entire manufacturing process of the weight loss cookies from his food processing plant and had now disappeared.

Lu Pingping had been frantic over this matter these past few days. With Yan Fei having traveled to Africa and been out of contact, there had been no way to inform him of the incident. Now that Yan Fei had called back using a satellite phone, Lu Pingping informed him of the unexpected incident at Dream Foods.

Yan Fei was taken aback. He had anticipated that someone would covet the trade secret of his weight loss cookies, but he had not expected them to act so quickly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The real secret of the weight loss cookies, however, was not the apparent production process but his own concocted slimming liquid. Even if the other party obtained the manufacturing process for the cookies, they would not be able to produce weight loss cookies with any slimming effect. But Lu Pingping was unaware of this and thought the production process had been leaked, causing her immense distress.

Yan Fei's relationship with Wen Rou had been progressing recently. He was ready to strike while the iron was hot and establish their feelings for each other when the domestic issue arose.

Yan Fei was not an insensitive person. Although it was only a fake manufacturing process that had been stolen, he still had to go back to China to handle the affairs, at least to keep up appearances. Thus, he had to bid Wen Rou farewell and then hurry back to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, to urgently book a flight back to Shanghai.
