Su Yuan’s face ached a bit now.

But he wouldn’t step into the realm of shooting and further humiliate himself.

They could shoot headshots from double the distance he could, and the key point was that it was all done through the hands of others: a terrifying record of kills.

Even a fool could see that someone with immense influence was boosting the rookie, so now was not the time to step into his domain and give him the chance to show off.

Gu Feng didn’t even bother to give Su Yuan, whose heart was twisting in jealousy, a glance but just took Lin Yue and said, "Come on, let’s go see the big guy."

Every war zone has an Equipment Department.

Every Equipment Department has countless advanced researchers developing an endless stream of military missiles.

Whenever a new weapon is created, it is tested in a military exercise simulation.

The grand scenes of bombardments are the most romantic fireworks of the nation.

They represent national prestige and the nation’s backbone.

When Lin Yue stood in the desert area and watched the grand fireworks of bombing through binoculars, her whole being surged with excitement.

This was her first time experiencing a modern warfare simulation, and she felt an unprecedented shock.

Gu Feng, standing beside her, noticed the awe on Lin Yue’s face due to the destructive power of the bombardment and asked, "How is it?"

"It’s overwhelming," Lin Yue remarked with awe. "This is the first time I’ve felt the power of our nation."

"We owe it all to them!" Gu Feng gestured toward the frontline researchers. "With them, our country’s military power can continuously improve."

Lin Yue saw those Equipment Department researchers, and remembered how those grandparent-aged elders had greeted Gu Feng and her warmly, even bestowing upon her several commemorative models.

She was curious, "Are those research grandfathers our relatives too?"

"No," Gu Feng shook his head.

"Then why do they seem especially close to you, and nice to me as well? Some grandfathers even gave me quite a few commemorative models just now," Lin Yue was curious.

Gu Feng smiled but did not answer.

Li Yan, standing nearby, recollected various past events and remarked emotionally, "Do you know how backward our technology was more than twenty years ago? At that time, we were so short of talented people. It took many years and many appeals to national sentiment to keep calling back young people from overseas. But do you know? Every time we went to pick up high-end talents, it was a matter of life and death!"

"For these scientific researchers, soldiers at home bravely sacrificed their lives just to bring people back to the country safely!"

"Back then, we soldiers had only one thing to say to those researchers willing to return: ’As long as they want to come back, no matter how many of us die, we will handle the conflicts and turbulences in the shadows!’ This was precisely the heavenly duty we soldiers were meant to fulfill," he paused and then looked at Lin Yue, "Sister-in-law, those grandfathers are so fond of the captain because most of them were personally brought back to the country by him."

"To prevent these scientific researchers from returning smoothly, the USA orchestrated numerous assassination operations. At that time, the national security intelligence centers of the USA spanned the globe, including in every Junior Country, fostering countless spies and mercenary forces. Every one of our secret layovers was under their surveillance, and in every country we reached—no matter whether by land, sea, or air—we were greeted with various assassination attempts. The captain always broke through from a sea of blood!"

Lin Yue hadn’t known about this layer of the story; her gaze toward Gu Feng immediately became tender and sympathetic.

Li Yan said, "Sister-in-law, have you seen those military medals in the captain’s room?"

Lin Yue nodded.

Li Yan said, "All those medals are unique to the captain because he brought back an important researcher, and in the following years, the state successfully commissioned its first fleet through that scientist’s team."

"And those figures who hold significant sway in the global physics community also had the captain personally escorting them back. Although these missions are military obligations, on a personal level, those research grandfathers feel a special protective affection for Feng."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

She had been unaware of the stories behind those medals. It turned out these badges each carried the weight and value of their era!

She looked gently at Gu Feng and asked, "So these missions never failed?"

Li Yan laughed, "Sister-in-law, such high-level missions, if failed, might mean a soldier never returns. If so, the captain wouldn’t be standing here now!"

Lin Yue couldn’t bear to imagine that scene, her arms wrapped around Gu Feng from behind: "The bullet scars on your body came from those times, right?"

She had seen those scars on Gu Feng’s back when he showered and wore a towel.

At the time, she didn’t realize it, but now, understanding the nature of his past work, those scars were likely bullet holes!

Gu Feng patted her hand reassuringly, indifferent himself about these past events as Li Yan couldn’t help but build his image. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

He knew Li Yan had a purpose; it was clear that Li Yan wouldn’t have asked him to bring his wife to watch the fireworks for nothing.

The admission wasn’t that cheap.

Sure enough, after watching for a while, Li Yan chuckled, "Feng, since we’re already here, why not guide some operations?"

In both reasoning and emotion, Li Yan was his comrade-in-arms, and you just couldn’t refuse when someone shamelessly asked like that.

Gu Feng, "Okay, then."

Li Yan was thrilled, "Great! Shall I go coordinate a battle with the Third War Zone right now?"

Gu Feng nodded.
