Chapter 358 Investment Objectives
Xu Si hovered in mid-air, his cloak fluttering gently in the twilight.
He didn't deliberately release his aura, but simply standing there was enough for the other party to understand that this was no ordinary person.
In the center of the convoy, the elderly man with gray hair raised his head, his gaze meeting Xu Si's across the distance.
They didn't seem to want to keep Xu Si waiting too long.
The old man whispered a few words to the young man with wings, and the man nodded and flew towards Xu Si.
Clearly, they were quite wary of Xu Si.
The person flew closer and hovered about twenty meters away from Xu Si.
Up close, the young man was only in his early twenties, just a little older than Xu Si.
It has a pair of grayish-white wings on its back, with a wingspan of more than three meters, and the edges of the feathers have a metallic sheen.
However, the fact that this creature could hover in mid-air without flapping its wings impressed Xu Si.
"How shall I address you?" the young man asked, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, but the hint of apprehension hidden deep in his eyes was well concealed.
"The salary train team, Xu Si," Xu Si replied briefly.
"It's you?" This person clearly knew Xu Si from the previous broadcast.
Xu Si showed no surprise whatsoever.
"So, the next one is car 002?" The young man made no attempt to hide his shock.
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Xu Si retorted.
There was no answer, nor was there any need to answer.
"Sorry, Marriott Motors, Yang Shu."
"Is it that Marriott?"
A glint flashed in Xu Si's eyes. Before the apocalypse, Marriott Group was one of the most prominent companies in China.
No wonder he felt that the old man looked familiar; wasn't that Marriott President Fu Wanhao?
"Yes!" the young man said, though his words were hesitant.
That's not surprising. If it's Marriott, then a fleet of that size is to be expected.
"Our team would like to rest here tonight, could you please make room for us?"
Xu Si acted somewhat aggressively, which showed their team's attitude when facing a strong opponent.
"That's possible, but we arrived here first and have priority to explore. However, Elder Fu just asked me to invite you to explore together tomorrow," the young man said with a slight frown.
Actually, they had only been there a short time. He had originally planned to conduct reconnaissance first, but he was interrupted by Ya Ya.
"We'll see how it goes! If the danger exceeds our expectations, we won't go in!" Xu Si said, trying to be as conservative as possible.
I wonder what they would think if they knew they had the idea of occupying this place and establishing a safe zone.
"Then it's settled!"
It was clear that Yang Shu was eager to end the conversation. Facing the direct gaze of a Sequence 5, he, a Sequence 3, felt quite pressured.
When Xu Si returned, the Xinhuo train convoy had already stopped two kilometers outside the valley, forming a defensive formation and quietly waiting for Xu Si's return.
He landed on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, and Fu Xiaojian's voice immediately came through the walkie-talkie: "How's it going?"
"The Marriott Group's fleet," Xu Si said briefly.
"The team leader is Fu Wanhao himself, a Sequence 5, and there is another Sequence 4 who should be a soldier. In addition, there are three other Sequence 4s. Their overall strength is no weaker than ours."
There was a moment of silence on the walkie-talkie; these high-end combat forces outnumbered them even more.
"Marriott? Which Marriott?" Tashan's voice was filled with disbelief.
"It's the Marriott you're thinking of."
"Holy crap... that's a real big shot... if it were before, I would definitely have asked him for his autograph!" Yang Fan couldn't help but swear.
"Heh, the pre-apocalyptic world is the pre-apocalyptic world." Fu Xiaojian's attitude didn't change much.
He had met many important people, but his father was a true big shot, carrying the stars on his shoulders.
"Do you know what sequence it is?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
In contrast, he was more concerned about the other party's Sequence 5 level.
"It shouldn't be a combat unit!" Xu Si recalled and said, "The old man didn't have any killing intent on him."
"That makes things easier," Fu Xiaojian said.
Anyway, we'll need to get to know each other better, and then things will become clear.
"So, we'll rest there tonight?" Jiao Jiao suddenly interjected.
"Yes, they'll make room for us!"
"Let's go then! It's getting late."
With this delay, the blood-red sun had almost completely set.
"Set up camp tonight, everyone stay alert."
"Know."
The convoy restarted and slowly drove towards the valley.
Twenty minutes later, the eleven cars of the Xinhuo convoy stopped a few dozen meters away from the Marriott convoy, also in a defensive formation.
This has almost become an instinct for the team.
However, no matter what, it still couldn't hide Xu Si's rebirth and brilliance.
The two convoys faced each other in the twilight, like two giant beasts wary of each other.
Xu Si stood on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, watching the campfires gradually light up in the opposite camp.
On the opposite camp, Fu Wanhao raised a cup of tea or something similar and offered a toast to Xu Si from afar.
He thought that Xu Si, who was the highest in the hierarchy, was the "Emperor" of the Salary Train Team.
Xu Si's combat strength and demeanor gave him this misconception.
"Yang Shu," Fu Wanhao said to the birdman beside him.
"Master Fu." Yang Shu stepped forward in response.
"What do you think of Xu Si?"
Yang Shu thought for a moment: "Very strong. When he hovered, I couldn't sense his presence at all. If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes, I wouldn't even know there was someone there. I've never felt such an aura from a Sequence 4, not even from Brother Feng."
"Brother Feng, what do you think?"
"I'm not confident!" said the burly man standing to the side.
This time, everyone else was quite surprised.
Blade is not only the most elite warrior, but also possesses a formidable assassin sequence.
They can launch surprise attacks or fight to the death.
It is an absolute advantage in combat power, and he also has a bizarre level 5 kill record.
Facing Xu Si, he actually said he wasn't confident of winning the battle.
"What if it were on the ground?" Fu Wanhao assumed that Xu Si had the advantage in the air, which was why Daofeng was being modest.
"No matter where!"
The pressure Xu Si exerted on him was the same pressure he exerted on others.
It's that obvious.
Everyone around fell silent.
"So he really is Sequence 5?" Fu Wanhao said softly.
"Such a young Sequence 5, interesting." He had already begun to consider acquiring it.
His gaze fell on his daughter, Fu Ruoxue, who was also a Sequence 4.
Looks like I need to find a new investment target!
