CHAPTER 549: CHAPTER 549 GU BO’S WORRIES (3 MORE UPDATES)

Long Wei said he needed to search Yang Xiao’s team.

Yang Xiao immediately responded:

"No problem."

He then called Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Long Yongjun, and others to gather the team outside.

When Huang Wen returned, she coincided with the team gathering, so she immediately called for the Flying Squad to assemble.

At this moment, after a night of turmoil, the sky had already begun to lighten.

Over ten thousand of Yang Xiao’s people were all gathered at the airport runway plaza, with several Boeing airplanes parked nearby. From the scene, it was hard to imagine that humanity had already entered the apocalypse.

Long Wei, accompanied by a dozen men in black cloaks, began to inspect the troops. Each of them held a Black Long Sword and a purple fluorescent stick-like object, walking one by one through the crowd.

The object, similar to a fluorescent stick, was waved in front of each person, but there was no reaction.

After more than half an hour, the dozen men in black cloaks gathered in front of Long Wei.

"Report to Lord Long Wei, no clues were found."

Long Wei nodded, and then said to Yang Xiao:

"Forget it, it might be a misunderstanding. However, if you see a dragon, please report immediately to the owner of the nearby Genetic Store. I will reward you."

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"Definitely, I would also like to see a dragon."

Long Wei and others walked to the nearby Transmission Array and disappeared.

Gong Yu and others were a bit puzzled and asked Yang Xiao:

"Boss, what does that mean? What dragon?"

"Um, it’s nothing, they might have made a mistake."

"Boss, who were those men in black? Such a powerful presence." Xia Luo asked.

Yang Xiao said in a low voice:

"They are the masters of Earth, a mysterious organization hidden behind the Genetic Store. The entire Earth is now under their control. If you encounter these men in black in the future, avoid them as far as possible. Don’t confront them."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu and others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts; this was their first encounter with the men in black cloaks.

"Who are the men in black looking for?"

Xia Luo and others didn’t know that the men in black were looking for Long Xiang.

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"It’s nothing, they probably made a mistake too, saying that someone had escaped and might be hiding among our team.

Alright, nothing to worry about now, it’s already daylight, let’s hurry up, eat, and rest. Soon we will attack Tianyue City."

So, Gong Yu and Xia Luo went to lead the team to regroup and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Huang Wen walked up to Yang Xiao, winked, smiled slightly, and walked away.

Yang Xiao, understanding the hint, knew that Long Xiang and Lan Xin had already reached deep in the Shenlongjia mountains. He was somewhat relieved but knew that Long Xiang exposing his identity was always going to be troublesome, and he didn’t have a plan for the future yet.

...

Long Wei didn’t directly return to Wentian City, but rather came to Yang Xiao’s main base, Nanmu City.

As soon as Long Wei appeared in Nanmu City’s Transmission Array, Gu Bo from the Genetic Store came out.

"Greetings to Lord Long Wei!"

Gu Bo bowed with his hands clasped.

Long Wei chuckled and said:

"Old Gu, you’ve long been a part of the Genetic Store, no need for such formalities."

Old Gu smiled, entered the store with Long Wei, and upon seeing Long Wei, Gu Bo’s assistant got very tense and quickly sent out the few customers inside the store.

Long Wei followed Gu Bo into the store and sat down, the assistant had already brought some tea.

Gu Bo smiled:

"Lord Long Wei, you must be busy with official matters. Coming to my humble store, there must be something you need, I presume?"

"Hehe, Old Gu, you’re truly formidable, nothing can be hidden from you. I came this time to inquire about Yang Xiao."

"Yang Xiao? What about him?"

"Nothing much, he is currently leading an attack on the Eastern Province. I guess it won’t be long before he conquers it, but, the locals reported seeing a giant dragon in the sky, which attacked the guards of Tianyue City and killed a thousand or two thousand people. I wanted to ask, do you know if Yang Xiao usually has anyone special by his side?"

Gu Bo was taken aback and asked:

"Are you talking about a dragon?"

Long Wei nodded.

Gu Bo thought for a moment and said:

"Yang Xiao normally doesn’t have any abnormalities, apart from his own genetic evolution being somewhat peculiar. I haven’t noticed any interactions with the Dragon Clan. Of course, I’ve never seen a dragon on Earth myself, just heard it mentioned by you all. If Lord Long Wei suspects something in this regard, I can help investigate this matter discreetly."

Long Wei said:

"If Old Gu is willing to help, that would be wonderful. We’re currently short-staffed and have many matters to address. Moreover, if Yang Xiao really is interacting with someone from the Dragon Clan, it’s best not to alarm him. Just follow him to find out where the Dragon Clan is hiding and let us know. We really want to capture a living dragon."

"Oh, I heard that the Fourth Prince and others went deep into the East Sea and captured quite a few live dragons, right?"

"Yes, but those were all male dragons, we are very much hoping to capture a female dragon."

Gu Bo smiled and nodded,

"Alright, I’ll do my best to investigate this matter. If Yang Xiao really has interactions with the Dragon Clan, I’ll definitely find out."

"Good, then thank you very much, Old Gu. I’ve got official matters to attend to so I will take my leave now."

"Safe travels!"

After Long Wei left, Gu Bo’s assistant said in a low voice:

"Master, with Long Wei’s sudden visit, could it be that Yang Xiao really has dealings with the Dragon Clan? Why haven’t I noticed?"

"Hehe, if you could easily notice the Dragon Clan around Yang Xiao, wouldn’t they have been captured long ago? By the way, when is our Genetic Store’s next interstellar ship arriving on Earth?"

"I checked the headquarters’ schedule, it should be in about two to three months, the exact time is not yet confirmed. The interstellar ship will notify us when it reaches Earth. Master, do you need to transport any goods?"

Gu Bo smiled slightly, looking at the assistant:

"Do you think the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince can really save our future?"

"Master, I don’t understand what you mean."

The assistant looked at Gu Bo somewhat confusedly.

Gu Bo sighed and said:

"In order to cultivate humans with genetic evolution, the Emperor’s four princes came to Earth and implemented the so-called Earth Super Gene Hunting Ground operation, killing a large number of humans, only leaving a very few young people, and causing a genetic mutation in all living beings on Earth through the genetic evolution fog. So far, it seems most situations are under control, but, I have an ominous premonition."

"Master, are you worried about losing control of the situation?"

Gu Bo nodded,

"You know Yang Xiao, his genetic evolution has completely exceeded the programmed design, what might happen in the future is unpredictable. If there is one Yang Xiao, there will be a second, a third, even more Yang Xiaos on Earth. If one day their evolved capabilities exceed our control, do you think they will be content being controlled by us?"
