The enormous Landing Craft slowly entered the port. Bai Yunpeng led his team out to welcome it. The Landing Craft's gangway slowly extended as they stood waiting on the tarmac.
When Chen Gu emerged, secured in safety restraints and under the "escort" of Gong Shuxu, he was visibly surprised to see Bai Yunpeng. Bai Yunpeng, however, had already greeted him enthusiastically, giving him a warm embrace without any hesitation.
"Welcome back, our hero!"
Gong Shuxu wanted to warn him about potential contamination and advise against physical contact with a suspected Mutant. However, upon seeing Bai Yunpeng's military rank, his lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing.
Chen Gu was also somewhat moved. After all, the other man was a magnate from the Central Operations Room. His personal reception demonstrated that he was a man of his word, which reassured Chen Gu.
"Thank you, Marshal Bai."
