Armor Guardians

Chapter 171 The Beast Armor Reappears
Xia Qianmeng was definitely cuter back then!
Recalling Xia Qianmeng's past appearance and then comparing it to Xia Qianmeng now, Gao Fei made this judgment in her mind.

Perhaps it is precisely because I was so foolish in the past that I have suffered such great harm.

Gao Fei used to be an undercover agent from the Black Group hidden within the Gold Group, and her position even reached the ace level. Therefore, she knew some information about Xia Qianmeng and how Xia Qianmeng was treated in the past.

But isn't that how the world is? All crows are black.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. There are still many issues to deal with within the Black Group. I'll go take care of them first. Contact me again if anything comes up later."

Gao Fei knew it wasn't appropriate to talk to her boss like this, but looking at Xia Qianmeng's petite figure, she really found it hard to treat this girl as her boss.

Fortunately, Xia Qianmeng didn't seem to care about what she said.

And so, Gao Fei left again, leaving Xia Qianmeng alone in the office, sitting quietly, lost in thought.

Xia Qianmeng sat quietly for four hours without being disturbed, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Suddenly, Xia Qianmeng seemed to recall something, but when she tried to recall it carefully, those fragments seemed to run away, giving her no chance to read them.

The repeated failures gradually made Xia Qianmeng irritable, but not figuring things out made her feel like something was missing inside her, making her very uneasy.

She seems to have lost something very important.

However, just as Xia Qian was about to continue her search, her phone suddenly rang. It was Gao Fei calling.

Although Xia Qianmeng took over the Black Group, she was really bad at managing it, so she handed over the operation and maintenance to Gao Fei and stayed behind as a hands-off manager and the main force.

"What's matter?"

Xia Qianmeng's first words were a cold inquiry, as if her irritation stemmed from Gao Fei's phone call.

"Breaking news: the Taotie Armor has reappeared. Should we set off to seize it?"

The Ferocious Beast Armor possesses power comparable to that of the Divine Beast Armor, but its requirements for the summoner are not as strict. Basically, anyone can summon it, and in the past, it was mostly controlled by the Black Group and became their weapon.

Since the last great battle, although the divine beast armors have all returned to their original summoners, the ferocious beast armors have not complied and returned to their original locations. Instead, they have disappeared, and no matter how hard the Gold Group searches, they cannot find any trace of them.

Now, the Taotie Armor has finally reappeared.

"How much do you...the Black Group know about the Beast Armor?"

Gao Fei on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Xia Qianmeng to ask her this question. But then again, this little girl seemed to have become more and more mature since she came out.

"You might not believe it, but the Black Group has an absolute understanding of the four sets of ferocious beast armor. They can tell who can control them and who cannot."

"Does the Black Group still have talent like that?" "Yes."

Gao Fei thought for a moment, then continued, "I used to be an ace player in the Gold Group, so I know a lot more information than ordinary people. They have already started researching how to replicate the divine beast armor to create artificial armor, and at the same time, they are secretly training people to use those armors. Similarly, our Black Group is also conducting the same research, and the candidates for those artificial armor experiments are basically all suitable for riding the ferocious beast armor."

What about loyalty?

"Don't worry, the Black Group's vetting process isn't much lower than the Gold Group's. Without exception, they all have a life-or-death feud with the Gold Group; otherwise, they wouldn't have been selected. You know, the Black Group doesn't actually have much funding, so our training of talent in this area is much stricter than the Gold Group's."

"Okay, coordinates, I'm coming now."

Xia Qianmeng's answer was exactly what Gao Fei expected. While looking at the intelligence, Gao Fei discussed countermeasures with Xia Qianmeng: "The Jin Group has already started the arrest operation. The Jin Group has two hundred ordinary combat personnel, led by Huang Xun, the summoner of the Yellow Dragon Armor, and Teng Zhengqi, the summoner of the Teng Snake Armor. We only have fifty combat personnel who can rush over here."

Since the Black Group is a clandestine force, it cannot recruit and support people at will like the Gold Group, using a large-scale manpower strategy. The Black Group's funds are also very limited, so it focuses on producing high-quality products.

Gao Fei told Xia Qianmeng the number of Black Group combat members that could be mobilized in this area, and also implied that Xia Qianmeng should take over the command. She clearly realized that this was a very dangerous operation, and if she was not careful, these people might not return.

But what if Xia Qianmeng really has that talent?

Recalling the somewhat eerie scene when Xia Qianmeng first returned, Gao Fei felt that Xia Qianmeng was a child who wanted to do great things. If that was the case, then she should have the ability to lead people.

"Give me ten men, that's all. You don't need to go over there, just in case the Gold Group discovers our base and launches a sneak attack."

"What about weaponry? The Black Group's armories are either hidden underwater or underground, so the previous battle did not damage our weapons, and they are still quite plentiful."

"Have them all equipped with ultra-long-range sniper rifles, and they can coordinate with me from a distance. It's just a matter of catching one person; there's no need for such a complicated process."

"Really? I thought you were planning to go over there and take care of them all."

"They're just cannon fodder for the Gold Group. I prefer to deliver a fatal blow rather than slowly wear them down."

Suddenly, Xia Qianmeng seemed to have thought of something, and then took the initiative to ask Gao Fei, "The summoners of the Yellow Dragon Armor and the Teng Snake Armor are named Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi, right? If I capture them, can we exchange them for prisoners?"

"That's possible, but I don't mind if you do it."

Xia Qianmeng's question surprised Gao Fei again. She thought that Xia Qianmeng was in a state of not listening to advice. However, since Xia Qianmeng asked, she would just say it. After all, they were in the same boat now.

"As far as I know, both of them have undergone loyalty training, and they might prefer death to being captured. Moreover, you've seen another side of the Gold Group; they're not as virtuous as they seem. If you push them too far, they might harm your parents and sister. They might die from various diseases within a few days of your return."

It's just for your own amusement; don't take it too seriously.
