Shen Feng decided to continue searching for sea beasts in the Atlantic Ocean, then headed north. Previously, he had been active around the equator because the water temperature there was more suitable for the survival of sea beasts. However, Shen Feng later discovered that the closer he got to the northern latitudes, the more sea beasts there were.
This strange phenomenon quickly caught Shen Feng's attention. He couldn't understand why there were more sea beasts the closer he got to the northern latitudes. The only explanation was that the sea beasts were gathered in a specific area, likely drawn by some kind of force.
"Could a new ninth-tier sea beast have appeared? Only such a powerful sea beast could attract and gather other sea beasts!" Shen Feng began to have ominous suspicions.
Generally, there was no command relationship among sea beasts because their strength was very balanced, and they couldn't defeat each other. However, there was one situation where surrounding sea beasts would obey commands, and that was a ninth-tier giant sea beast, like the blue whale that was once the size of an island.
"If my guess is correct, then there will be trouble ahead. Not only are the sea beasts united, but they are also under unified command. It won't be easy to snatch meteorites from the sea beasts," Shen Feng thought to himself.
Next, Shen Feng and Wang Feiying continued to head towards the area where the sea beasts were gathered. Upon reaching the North Atlantic, Shen Feng found a large area of dark clouds and scenes of lightning and thunder everywhere. Although it generally didn't thunder in winter, this was the open sea, and the marine environment was special. Even in winter, there could be fierce storms.
"The environment here is too harsh. Let's quickly find a suitable island to rest. Sailing in the gale is too agonizing," Shen Feng didn't want to continue sailing in the storm, so he immediately told his disciple that he wanted to find a suitable place to rest for a while.
Wang Feiying found a waterproof map and searched for a long time before finally determining a direction. He said, "Master, let's head to the Azores. It's a group of islands in the sea, and there's definitely land there. We can rest here for a while."
The Northern Hemisphere was still in the season of heavy snow and ice, and it was very cold even on the sea. The cold wind made people shiver. It was fine during the day because the sunlight on the ocean provided temporary warmth. However, when the heavy rain poured down, not only was there no sunlight, but body heat was constantly carried away by the rain.
Shen Feng then took his disciple to the Azores. After flying for a day, they finally arrived. He had expected there to be no people on this island, but Shen Feng soon discovered lights on the island, which meant humans lived there.
"There are people living here, so it seems we don't need to build a shelter," Shen Feng said to Wang Feiying behind him and then controlled the paraglider towards the direction where the lights appeared.
However, in the sky earlier, Shen Feng couldn't see clearly what was below. It was only when he was about to land that he discovered that the lights on the island were actually a huge military camp. But Shen Feng was already about to land, and taking off now would be pointless.
"I didn't expect this to be a military camp. No wonder there are lights here. Let's find a place to stay quickly. I believe these soldiers won't refuse us," Shen Feng said to Wang Feiying behind him after landing.
Shen Feng considered himself a celebrity, so he believed that someone in the military camp would recognize him, and his request to stay would not be refused.
As Shen Feng landed with his paraglider, the military camp's lights flickered, and searchlights from the watchtower shone down, directly illuminating the landing area. It was clear that Shen Feng had been spotted the moment he landed.
"Who are you people? Why are you here? Answer quickly, or we will open fire!" Soldiers appeared from all directions, holding automatic rifles, their muzzles aimed at Shen Feng and Wang Feiying.
"Don't be nervous. We are not bad people. We just happened to want to rest here. Do you know me? I am Shen Feng!" Shen Feng began to explain. He was also worried that these people wouldn't listen to his explanation, so he was constantly on guard against them opening fire. If they did, he would instantly activate his shield to protect himself and his disciple.
After Shen Feng introduced himself, the soldiers recognized him as Shen Feng from the Far East.
Although the Atlantic Ocean and China were tens of thousands of miles apart, and people here generally didn't know the situation there, Shen Feng's reputation was too great. Many people had heard of his illustrious name, and for many, the name Shen Feng was already widely known. Even in Europe, many people supported Shen Feng.
"Hello, why did you come here? Was someone sent to bring you?" A military officer then began to question Shen Feng.
Shen Feng explained, "The reason I came here is not to investigate your military deployment. I am just taking my disciple to sea for training, hoping to kill some sea beasts. After all, I also want to obtain some evolution crystals. I just didn't expect so many sea beasts to be gathered in the North Atlantic region."
After Shen Feng's explanation, everyone relaxed. It turned out Shen Feng was not here to cause trouble. Shen Feng was now a globally recognized powerhouse, and ordinary people were no match for him. Even an army of three to five thousand would be no match for Shen Feng.
Fortunately, everyone believed him after Shen Feng explained his intentions. A few officers gathered, discussed, and then allowed Shen Feng to rest there, even providing separate rooms for him and Wang Feiying.
"You can rest here for a while, but we hope you will not move around freely while you are here. This is a military restricted area, and you are still an outsider. Do you understand what we mean?" an officer said to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng nodded and agreed to their request, then took his disciple to their separate rooms. Afterward, some soldiers brought hot water and food, showing that these people treated Shen Feng with great caution. This was unavoidable, as Shen Feng had reached a level of power where he could easily destroy a city.
"Master, I feel something is not right about this place. It's clearly the apocalypse, but there are still so many soldiers in this military camp. I saw many facilities around earlier and noticed some of them were rusty. This indicates that these soldiers have only been here for a short time. If people had been living here all along, these facilities wouldn't be so severely rusted," Wang Feiying quickly said to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng, who had finally found a place to rest with hot water and food, was enjoying himself and couldn't help but soak his feet in the hot water, which seemed to wash away his fatigue.
However, when Shen Feng heard his disciple's report, he immediately became serious. He hadn't thought much about it earlier and had forgotten to observe the surrounding environment. Fortunately, although Wang Feiying was taciturn, he liked to observe his surroundings, thus discovering something amiss.
"You make a good point. We'll observe patiently for the next few days. However, my English isn't very good, so I'll need you to listen carefully," Shen Feng replied. It was important to always be aware of unusual situations around you, otherwise, when an accident occurred, there would be no escape.
"Master, I will observe patiently. Just wait for my good news," Wang Feiying replied.
Wang Feiying became Shen Feng's disciple because of his high intelligence. His academic performance was excellent, far surpassing that of ordinary people. He also knew some foreign languages, so eavesdropping on information would not be a problem for him.
Wang Feiying was very protective of his wings. Even when resting, he would lie down to sleep, never letting his wings be pressed. Now that he had a chance to rest, he immediately found hot water and began to clean the feathers on his back.
"So angels are also vain. To display perfect wings in front of others, one needs to be well-groomed," Shen Feng teased.
"Master, you're teasing me again. I actually wish I didn't have these wings because their use on the battlefield is too limited. If I could, I would rather fight bravely and kill enemies on the battlefield," Wang Feiying said helplessly.
It was very difficult for everyone to obtain special abilities, and even after obtaining them, they never knew in which direction their abilities would develop. Everything was random. If one was lucky, they would gain a powerful ability, but if they were unlucky, the ability would often become useless.
Wang Feiying took such good care of his feathers because they could be used for escape in critical moments. If he had the chance to choose his special ability again, he would not hesitate to change it, but unfortunately, that was impossible.
In the following days, the wind and rain gradually subsided. When Shen Feng had nothing to do, he would practice his abilities. Now, his speed could reach a level that ordinary people couldn't see clearly. As long as he used "Wind-like Movement," he could act, and even surveillance would have difficulty capturing his figure. Shen Feng wandered around the island and surprisingly discovered that the people on the island seemed to be setting up missile launch sites.
"No wonder they don't want me to move around. It turns out they are setting up these things. If others found out, they would definitely be criticized," Shen Feng realized the reason for the military camp's presence on the island after discovering this.
Logically, surviving on an island with a lack of supplies would be extremely difficult, and no country would undertake such a thankless task. However, the soldiers on the island were indeed stationed there. After investigating the surrounding situation, Shen Feng confirmed one thing: missile launch sites were being installed here.
This island was a very important military base because once missile launch sites were established here, they could strike Western Europe to the east and bomb North America to the west. However, Shen Feng couldn't understand why these people were doing this on the island. Did they all want to attack other countries? This was an act that defied the world. With the great enemy at the gates, instead of dealing with external threats, they were focusing their efforts internally, which was excessive.
