The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

"About this..." Yang Le muttered to himself a few times, and Franklin responded as expected.

"He was already preparing when I contacted him earlier. I estimate he's been out for a while now. Given the distance between our base and the Circular Fortress, he should arrive in two hours at the latest."

Yang Le outwardly didn't know the coordinates of the Circular Fortress. After all, he was brought here on a transport plane from S.H.I.E.L.D., so Zheng Xian proactively gave him the coordinates.

The location of the Circular Fortress isn't a secret worth hiding. Aside from the Circular Fortress itself possessing considerable defensive capabilities, the mere fact that it's positioned above Chinese territory makes it difficult for ordinary enemies to covet.

After all, being on home soil means support can arrive very quickly. As soon as the Circular Fortress is attacked, a barrage of missiles will rain down in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the Circular Fortress isn't just a stationary lump stuck in the ground; it's mobile and can change its position at any time. So, knowing its location isn't a big deal.

Therefore, Lei Ling wasn't particularly surprised by this. Instead, she calmly chatted with Yang Le, which made her realize that he was indeed a steady and humorous person, making him very easy to talk to.

In just a short while, the two became friends, though only at a superficial level.

Watching the two occasionally giggle, Ji Shuangshuang, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel speechless. How did she become the superfluous one while they were chatting? This made Ji Shuangshuang, who was usually good at maintaining her composure, feel a bit resentful.

"Cough cough!"

Ji Shuangshuang's cough drew the two's attention. Lei Ling then came back to her senses, a trace of embarrassment on her face. She had actually forgotten her good sister, and while she was talking to a man. This wasn't something easy to say or hear.

"Sorry, Shuangshuang," Lei Ling said apologetically, hugging Ji Shuangshuang's arm, carefully avoiding the bruised areas while also inwardly criticizing Yang Le. How could this guy be so ruthless to a young girl?

What a guy who doesn't know how to cherish women!

"It's okay, Sister Ling." Ji Shuangshuang didn't mind much. It's just that she couldn't leave on her own in that situation, and seeing that the two didn't know how long they would chat, she took the initiative to interrupt their conversation.

"Let me take you to the infirmary," Lei Ling said, using a little force. "Don't refuse me. Just consider it an apology."

Ji Shuangshuang couldn't resist her, and coupled with the fact that she had just finished a mission some time ago and had just been beaten up by Yang Le, she didn't have much strength, so she allowed the latter to support her out of the training room.

The two girls walked out of the training room on their own, leaving only the three boys behind. Lin Lie and A Cheng behind Yang Le stared at each other, and finally could only sigh and support each other towards the door.

As the two brushed past Yang Le, the latter suddenly spoke.

"Lin Lie, do you have time later?"

"Ah?" Lin Lie, who was suddenly stopped, was stunned. "I have a cultural class arranged by the bureau later. What's wrong, Brother Yang?"

After being beaten up, Lin Lie's address for him changed. This could be regarded as a kind of acquaintance through fighting.

Yang Le nodded. Hearing about the heavy workload, he couldn't help but think of his past. Just as he was about to say next time, A Cheng spoke up.

"Are you stupid?" A Cheng slapped Lin Lie, causing the latter to grimace in pain. "We just finished a mission today. According to the regulations, there are no class arrangements within three days."

"Hiss～" Lin Lie gasped in pain. "Take it easy, you brute! But that reminded me, maybe I was beaten silly? I even forgot about the vacation. Then I have time later. What's the matter, Brother Yang?"

Although a little tired, Lin Lie knew that Yang Le had taught them a lot in the previous training, but because the time was too short, what they could absorb was really limited.

Fortunately, the training room of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a large number of monitors, and they are at various angles. If you want to review, you can go and retrieve the video later.

You must know that the guidance of a master is especially rare, so Lin Lie felt that if Yang Le's request was not too excessive, he could agree to it.

"Regarding your Fuxi Sword, I discovered some interesting things in the previous battle, so I want to talk to you about it. Don't worry, it's nothing particularly important."

Yang Le patted Lin Lie on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing particularly important. Since you have a three-day vacation, let's talk about it tomorrow. Now you need to deal with the bruises first, and then get a good night's sleep."

Yang Le had already said so, even if Lin Lie was a little curious, he could only suppress his curiosity and walked out of the training room with A Cheng supporting each other. When he went out, he was still whispering to A Cheng, but he definitely couldn't escape Yang Le's ears.

After leaving the training room, Yang Le separated from the others. After politely declining the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s idea of ​​taking him to visit S.H.I.E.L.D., Yang Le asked if there was a suitable area for rest and waiting, and left alone after receiving the answer.

The deputy director was afraid that Yang Le would get lost, so he gave him a thin pad. This is a machine without internet access. The only function is to carry a map of the Circular Fortress.

Yang Le walked alone in the long corridor, casually flipping through the map recorded in the pad. Without thinking, he knew that there were only maps of unimportant areas in the fortress, mostly some leisure areas, which should have been temporarily made in consideration of Yang Le's request to visit alone.

The reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. is so relieved about Yang Le alone is not because they trust Yang Le, but because this fortress has a very complete monitoring system. Almost every ten meters, Yang Le can see a hidden monitoring probe. If you count the hidden ones, there are countless.

And there are a lot of people in the fortress, and you can meet one every distance. Yang Le knows from their expressions that they must know him, even if no one is with him, Yang Le's figure has not left S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes for a moment.

It is estimated that as long as Yang Le has a strange move, that deputy will come to him immediately.

However, Yang Le didn't care about this at all. Before completely gaining the other party's trust, it is normal to receive a little surveillance. Anyway, he is upright and not afraid of his shadow being crooked, and he has no crooked thoughts at all.

According to the map on the pad, Yang Le came to the ecological park of the Circular Fortress. There are a lot of green plants here. In addition to preparing for some extreme situations, it also serves as a leisure place.

No, a comprehensive bar is opened here. Maybe because it is not open to the public, the services provided here are very complicated. It is a hodgepodge area that integrates restaurants, coffee shops, and so on.

Yang Le plans to spend time here until Franklin comes, because he can bask in the sun here, which is very comfortable for him in the Kryptonian state.
