Everyone on Three Dollar Mountain was shocked.
The refugees that ran out after Feng Mengyue looked at each other in dismay after seeing their territory lord dash straight toward the enemy’s army as if she had gone mad.
The soldiers behind Su Mo were even more stunned by the scene. They were confused by the woman running toward them while cheering as if she had won a five million dollar lottery.
Only three of the people present understood what the situation represented!
It was a reunion of old friends!
Words could not express the feeling and emotions that the two were going through. The excitement that welled up in their hearts was hard to describe.
“It’s an acquaintance of mine. Don’t worry. Disperse the defensive formation.”
Su Mo glanced at Feng Mengyue’s face again.
He was overwhelmed with emotions as he stepped forward to order loudly for the soldiers to scatter from their formation to pave a path directly leading toward Feng Mengyue.
He could have never imagined that the territory lord of the Three Dollar Mountain Territory was Feng Mengyue from the descriptions the Liu brothers gave.
Neither did he think that it could be an old acquaintance according to the clues found when they climbed the mountain.
Even now, he was still in disbelief as he glanced at the familiar face in front of him.
He was surprised to have such a coincidental encounter and formed a series of misunderstandings in such a vast wasteland.
“Shelter leader, this woman…”
“She’s a friend I made when I first came to the wasteland. She’s an ally, so you don’t have to be on defense toward her.”
Feng Tianmin approached with a vigilant expression to dissuade him, but Su Mo waved his hand and strode along the passage.
Despite the distance between them, the two could easily distinguish each other’s faces.
The only difference was Su Mo seemed relatively calm and was only astonished by the fate between them.
Meanwhile, Feng Mengyue was much more excited as if seeing a relative. She was full of joy, and her expression looked like she was saying, “I’m so glad you’re here!”
Despite saying she was an old friend, Su Mo stood there for a long time, not knowing how to start a conversation with her.
On the contrary, Feng Mengyue tilted her head and playfully broke the awkwardness brewing around them.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time!”
It was a familiar voice and appearance.
Instantly, Su Mo’s memory of Feng Mengyue through their video conversations began to overlap with reality.
The images of the two began to combine into the person that stood in front of him.
“Yes, it’s been a long time!” Su Mo greeted her sincerely.
The two of them suddenly burst into laughter simultaneously after greeting each other.
Their laughter contained the past few months’ memories and the gratification that the other party had survived.
The laughter gradually calmed down.
Glancing at each other, there was still a slight distance in their relationship since they were slightly more acquainted than complete strangers.
“Tsk, tsk! The informants rushed to notify me that the people that were sent out last night had been captured alive and were about to attack our territory! You don’t know how shocked I was to hear that!
“My people aren’t weak. They were equipped with guns, ammunition, and explosives! We even had a geographical advantage, so no matter how weak in combat they were, it was impossible for all of them to be captured!
“When they told me it was you who was paying a visit… haha! Our human god Almighty Su sure is amazing! You haven’t really done anything yet but have already captured all my elite soldiers!”
After their momentarily awkward greeting, Feng Mengyue was no longer prudent and began to joke around with Su Mo. Even though it sounded like she was complaining, she was complimenting Su Mo.
Indeed, judging by the situation, more than 100 of her people, including the commander, had been captured.
Additionally, all their forces had sustained injuries.
Such overpowered battle results, not only Feng Mengyue but even if Su Mo were to be informed of such news, he would also be shocked.
“Don’t even start. I was peacefully sleeping on Er Lang Mountain last night and planned to visit you today.
“Who would’ve thought that your subordinates secretly invaded my campsite! I was lucky that I had some trump cards prepared. Otherwise, my whole team would have been abolished by you!”
At first, Feng Mengyue thought Su Mo was trying to be humble.
She froze in disbelief after seeing his solemn expression.
“Are you serious?”
“Why would I lie to you? I didn’t bring a large team with me, and all my weapons were similar to yours. We’re definitely inferior in some aspects compared to you.
“You’re commander’s ambush that was uncalled for almost caused a huge blow to my forces in the chaos.”
Su Mo honestly stated the truth and did not hide anything.
After all, even if he did not talk about it, Feng Mengyue could still find out from the commander later.
As for the rest, Su Mo gave it a thought and continued to speak,” I’m not going to hide the purpose of my journey into the mountains since you’re here and we’re acquaintances.
“There’s a group of mysterious people in the center of the Great Mountains who were released from their ruins by humans of Earth. I’m sure you’ve heard about it?”
Feng Mengyue could be considered a local of the mountains.
Her territory was within Great Mountain, and the Three Dollar Mountain was not far from the Origin Territory at the center.
The Origin Territory had recruited her before, so it was likely that she could provide in-depth details that others would not know.
As expected, Feng Mengyue’s expression changed immediately, and she became tense after hearing Su Mo’s motives.
“Are you looking for them?”
“Yes, my people were captured by them. Additionally, since the Origin gathering place was not far from my territory, I wanted to visit them to make plans in advance.” Su Mo nodded.
“Ha…”
Feng Mengyue took a deep breath, and her expression changed again.
After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, “That’s strange. Not only were my people captured, but even your people were taken? I was planning to search for them after the low temperatures disaster even if you hadn’t shown up. What a coincidence!”
Fate was unexplainable.
They had an encounter before and finally met again.
After hearing that they had the same purpose, Su Mo could not help but rub the back of his head in surprise.
“How about this? I can tell your men are exhausted after last night’s battle. Why don’t you and your team rest in my territory for the day and recollect yourselves!
“Since your target is the mysterious people in Great Mountain, I can provide you with a lot of information, and when the time comes, I’ll join you with my troops so that we can look after one another!”
They had the same goal.
Feng Mengyue did not beat around the bush and issued an invitation to join forces.
Su Mo let out a long sigh and nodded in relief. “That would be great! I couldn’t ask for anything better!”
