After the fortress finished its background and identity investigation of Chen Feng, Chen Feng took his supplies and moved into an apartment in the Da Xia residential area.

After seven consecutive days of travel, coupled with the exhaustion from battles along the way and the depletion of his spiritual energy, Chen Feng had almost no extra energy for strategy. He immediately asked the leader of the special Martial God team for a day off.

Upon seeing the approval from the Martial God Team Leader, Chen Feng's first action was to put aside all his worries and concerns.

I drifted off to sleep in my warm bed...

......

It was 6 p.m. when Chen Feng woke up. After taking a hot shower, he packed his things and left the small apartment where he was staying.

The central canteen of the permafrost fortress is very large and can accommodate thousands of people to dine at the same time.

The cool gray alloy walls were warmed by the kitchen lights, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of stewed meat mixed with the smoky smell of wheat cakes. Warmth wafted out from the food serving window.

It was completely different from the snow-covered plain outside the fortress.

"Looks like it's not time for a meal," Chen Feng muttered.

At this moment, only the occasional sounds of spoons and chopsticks could be heard in the huge restaurant. Only a dozen or so people remained to eat, most of them sitting quietly in their seats.

Besides the Da Xia soldiers in their dark gray combat uniforms and the Feng Xue soldiers in their winter coats, Chen Feng also saw a man dressed in Da Xia martial arts attire calmly eating his meal, his eyes fixed on the dining hall in front of him.

Chen Feng was not surprised at all.

Besides the ten Martial Gods specially dispatched by the Great Xia Dynasty, there are two more Martial God Legions in the Frozen Fortress, totaling 70 Martial Gods. The probability of encountering them is not low.

However, just as Chen Feng finished picking up his food and was about to eat,

A soft "clang" came from the empty seat in front of him, and then a figure sat down heavily. A familiar aura flashed past Chen Feng.

Chen Feng looked up and saw Li Yuanwei, dressed in the attire of a martial god, sitting in front of him, his eyes wide open.

"Chen Feng?! Is it really you?"

Li Yuanwei placed his plate directly on the table and reached out to pick up a piece of braised pork from Chen Feng's plate, showing no signs of unfamiliarity.

"I heard from the team leader this morning that the last person from the Martial God Special Envoy was coming, and his name is exactly the same as yours! I thought it was just a coincidence of names! I was just thinking of trying my luck at the restaurant, but I didn't expect it to actually be you!"

"I didn't expect you to come along either..." Chen Feng said with a calm smile.

Although Chen Feng and Li Yuanwei only met during the last escort mission, Chen Feng was not only glib-tongued but also greedy and lecherous. However, in the frozen land of the Permafrost Fortress, his shortcomings turned into advantages, making him like a little sun.

His combat strength is quite remarkable even among martial gods.

"Sigh! I didn't plan to come," Li Yuanwei shook his head. "But I heard there are beautiful women everywhere here, and I just couldn't resist my curiosity!"

"Understood, that's a man's nature."

"By the way, Chen Feng, after we rest for a few days, we will join the other martial gods to search for ancient ruins not far from an insect nest. I estimate that the team leader will send you the information soon, so you should prepare yourself."

"The ancient ruins are just remnants of extinct civilizations. Is it really necessary for us to go through all this trouble to search them?" Chen Feng asked.

"I suspect it's not that simple, otherwise so many mercenaries wouldn't be hired to try their luck there, and there would be no need to station people at the permafrost fortress. Anyway, we can go and take a look first."

"Sure, you're more experienced than me anyway."

Li Yuanwei smiled, a hint of warmth appearing in his shrewd eyes.

The way Chen Feng was addressed was changed to a respectful form of address.

"I dare not claim to have experience. In terms of experience, I still have a lot to learn from you. Just look at Su Yan from last time! And Xiao Xue from last time! They were both beauties of unparalleled beauty."

"Haha, we're just friends, nothing special." Chen Feng smiled.

"Yes, growing old together starts with being friends..." Li Yuanwei coaxed gently, a warm smile on his face.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment.

"How about I introduce you to someone?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanwei immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and solemnly addressed Chen Feng, saying, "Brother Chen, your righteousness is admirable! I will remember this!"

Li Yuanwei spoke with conviction, his back ramrod straight, and his fists clasped in a perfectly proper gesture.

This drew surprised glances from many people in the restaurant.

Li Yuanwei ignored it, his face flushed, and he quickly sat back down in his original seat.

He propped his elbows on the table and leaned closer to Chen Feng, his voice barely contained with barely suppressed excitement: "Brother Chen, you better keep your word! I have no other hope in this life but to find someone who cares about me and shares my life in this godforsaken time!"

Before Chen Feng could answer, Li Yuanwei continued speaking.

"If you can really make this happen for me, then in the permafrost fortress, whatever you ask, I, Li Yuanwei, will do without hesitation! Getting food and reserving seats, applying for supplies, gathering information on other teams, even maintaining armory and reporting routes—I can handle it all perfectly for you!"

Seeing Li Yuanwei's expression, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. I haven't met your future partner yet, but I'll do my best to help you."

Li Yuanwei slapped his thigh and almost jumped up again.

"With Brother Chen making the connection, it's bound to work out! I've been here for almost half a month now, and all I do is deal with weapons and patrol the border with a bunch of big men. I don't even have a Wind and Snow tribe member to chat with. If I stay any longer, I'll be calling Mao Niu my brother."

Just as Li Yuanwei was still talking non-stop about his vision for the future...

The two men's military AI suddenly received a message from the military regarding the permafrost fortress, instantly alerting them.
