"She really is an arrogant woman, but Boss, are you really going to investigate this thoroughly?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"From my investigation of her resume, this woman, although arrogant, never intervenes in political disputes. You might want to look at her detailed information before making a decision. Without powerful backing, not only her, even if it were the president you apprehended, media backlash would likely force him out of office. I'd wager public support would drop to a percentage you can't even imagine."

"I just intend to scare her. You could also consider this as an indirect warning to the CIA," Feng Yi suddenly paused, then continued, "Of course, this also depends on their actions going forward. A completely ineffective organization needs to be overhauled from top to bottom."

"Damn, when did you become so decisive?"

"My style of doing things has always been consistent. I'm not interested in getting involved in political conflicts. Since I'm in this, and life is short anyway, who am I afraid of? If someone has the guts, let them come assassinate me."

"And then you'd support personal factions, like Apophis and John, to groom them as future successors?"

"Heh, that's interesting."

Eggy glanced at him, "You should be aware that one sows and another reaps. While you're alive, no one dares to touch you, but if that day comes, they will struggle to compete with those power brokers."

Feng Yi listened with interest, then responded with a bitter smile, "How many days do I have left? But I'm just doing what I believe is right." As he finished speaking, his gaze gradually shifted towards the distant stars in the sky.

At the other end of the Solar System, Devil Cluster Satellite number 8 was situated on the remote outskirts of V584...

Here, the sunlight was incredibly scorching, the ground's temperature had yet to rise, and local news had already begun broadcasting major news early in the morning. A huge meteorite named "Super Plunge" was scheduled to strike the planet within a specific time slot, leaving the local population less than two days to evacuate.

The external internet was already cut off, and people could only communicate through the planet's local network. Luckily, the military's efficiency was extremely high. The Saudi federal temporary evacuation troops never stopped, with many soldiers working from dawn till dinner without a break, constantly busy with transporting personnel.

Upon receiving this news, people felt as if the sky had fallen. Local security was already poor, and with Satellite number 8 lacking legal restrictions plus the current crisis, blatant robbers would become even more rampant.

Listening to the pounding on the door, you couldn't tell whether it was the military or robbers outside, which led to delays in evacuating personnel for several hours.

Many of the residents waiting to be rescued were hoping for announcements through megaphones by the military, but it's crucial to note that not all announcements made through megaphones were from the military. The experienced ones would pay attention to ground vibrations since the passage of a large military force would cause significant tremors.

Meanwhile, the Bounty Tribe of Freeholders posted an announcement to recruit Genetic Revolutionaries for a secret mission. The conditions for recruitment were extremely strict, requiring not only to be on the threshold of the Genetic Revolutions but also to have combat skills at Rank 3. This was the final prerequisite, carefully considered by officials.

After all, while the cellular defenses of Genetic Revolutions were one aspect (namely the second-generation genes), personal strength was also an indispensable factor. Early investigations had provided lessons; individuals with stronger immune qualities sustained less radiation damage.

It is well known that such people are extremely rare, mostly referring to New Humans. Reaching Rank 3 was even rarer, scarcely found among thousands, let alone a whole country struggling to produce even a Rank 1.

Compared to the rare existence of Rank 1, individuals with Rank 3 capabilities were certainly present but still belonged to a minority group.

Fortunately, Xiu Yi's team was included. When he saw the urgent recruitment notice appear on his communicator, he became entirely eager to try. Hey! A rare official top-pinned news from the Bounty Tribe of Freeholders, those not at Rank 3 didn't even have the qualifications to register.

The Dream Team indeed possessed such qualifications.

As a near Rank 1 fighter, Red Ghost was undeniably the team's main output player.

Next in strength to Red Ghost was Xiu Yi. Having gone through various adventures over time, they had long surpassed their initial forms. Xiu Yi's personal strength had advanced from near Rank 3 to the edge of Rank 2, which meant apart from Red Ghost, Xiu Yi was the most capable fighter in the team.

Below Xiu Yi was Kevin, an engineer who completely belonged to the team's "jack of all trades," proficient in repairing machinery, driving mechas, and close combat—his multifaceted skills led to a very comprehensive average strength, placing him at the near Rank 3 stage.

As for Xixi, she was almost at the same level as Kevin. It was well known that medical personnel were also a core strength in an adventure team; they needed to not lag too far behind the leader in terms of speed and technique, which also meant Xixi had to exert more physical effort.

In fact, Xixi really had put in a lot of effort. Hindered by her innate female disadvantages, her combat talents were still above those of males, which resulted in Xixi's professional specializations being singular and her combat capabilities advancing very slowly.

It should be noted that she and Kevin started almost simultaneously; Kevin had far more skills than Xixi, yet their rate of progress in combat skills were not that far apart. This was not to say Xixi was not diligent, but talent played a role, and she only recently unlocked her potential during a battle a few days ago, otherwise, she would still be near Rank 3.

Now, this team that had gone through countless adventures had long shed their initial naivety. At this moment, Xixi remained the gentle and sensible older sister, but different was the undeniable confidence in her eyes, which revealed a sunny and captivating side that quickly made you realize she was a wise and articulate beauty with hidden depths.

As for Kevin, who always smelled of engine oil, when exactly the cross-shaped scar appeared on his face, which added a touch of unrestrained masculinity, no one knew. The sharpness in his eyes, the light smile, possibly due to their long experience and accustomed lifestyles of braving the elements outdoors, their heights had also increased noticeably over the past year.

In the team, the two men's stature now almost reached Feng Yi's, with only Red Ghost unchanged in height, since she was a bit older than the three and had remained at 167 cm for two years now.

What was different now was that Red Ghost seemed even quieter than before, appearing somewhat arrogant, at least from the outside she seemed cold and silent, though within the team she would occasionally show the demeanor of an elder sister.

After all, being a Rank 1 fighter, albeit near Rank 1, fighting capabilities of this level couldn't find 20 people in the whole country; she also had to pay attention to her words and actions.

Red Ghost had always been good to Xixi, who in her eyes was like a sister, always like this. In fact, Red Ghost had often played the role of the big sister in the team.

Unfortunately, people grow up, and with age, having undergone their coming-of-age ceremonies, they seemed to understand a kind of emotion never felt before during this journey filled with blood and gunpowder.

That emotion was sweet, warm, yet subtle, like a gentle breeze stirring ripples in everyone's hearts, endlessly delightful.

According to Kevin's analysis, this was probably what they called love. Described as momentous, in reality, just as Brother Feng had advised with his earnest words, the scenery along the way was always stunning, but looking back, those memories filled with laughter and joy were the most precious, "Don't you agree, Xiu Yi?"

Xiu Yi didn't answer Kevin directly, his faint smile already affirming it, then he turned to look at a young boy beside him, his eyes betraying bewilderment, "Kid, are you sure you want to team up with me?"

The boy nodded vigorously, eager to try, "Of course, I have heard about the fame of this team in the Bounty Tribe, Brother Xiu Yi, you are my biggest idol, can you take me on an adventure?"

"Of course, I can," Xiu Yi stroked his chin, thinking for a moment, "But there is a condition."

"What condition?"

"Mere courage is not enough to stand alone; you also need the depth of life's experiences, solidifying oneself with ample knowledge, and strengthening one's vision—wisdom, knowledge, courage, all are indispensable."
