"Eagle Eye, if we go further ahead, we’ll reach the canyon area of Zone C. We might encounter people from Zone B," Eagle Eye said to Gu Feng after traversing a long mountain trail.

Gu Feng grabbed a water bottle from his bag and took a big gulp. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Then, he unloaded some unnecessary equipment from his body.

He only kept a dagger with him.

He said to the group of 10 people, "Stay here and engage with the opposing side for a bit. I’ll be right back."

"Where are you going?" Kuang Xiao asked.

Gu Feng walked off without turning back.

Eagle Eye, watching his direction, was shocked, "Eagle Eye brother, you’re heading towards Zone C, that area is full of surveillance and drones."

Gu Feng replied, "That’s exactly where I’m going. Don’t follow me. Stay here and hold off the people from Zone B for me. Give me some time."

The people from the Fourth Military Region were confused.

Do you hear what you’re saying?

Tonight’s test wasn’t significant for people from Zones A and B to begin with. Gu Feng knew that it was him those old guys behind the surveillance were watching!

If this was a test for him, then he would meet their expectations.

He would leave these newcomers to fight amongst themselves.

They had even brought out Yue Qian as the commandant this time, clearly targeting Gu Feng.

"He’s only carrying a dagger? What does that mean?" Ren Yao didn’t understand at all.

Li Yan seemed to recall something and smiled, "An insulting upgrade, but this time it’s more challenging. I wonder if he can pull it off."

Headquarters.

Watching Gu Feng head toward Zone C with just a dagger, they guessed what he was planning to do.

"This is purely a demonstration of an assassination decapitation plan!"

Before entering the surveillance range of Zone C, Gu Feng hid behind a big tree and began simulating what would happen if he just walked across.

In the simulated view: he would get into a gunfight after 12 minutes, discovered by a patrol team of 10 about 200 meters away.

That means there’s surveillance on this route!

Based on the 12 minutes it would take for the soldiers from over 200 meters away to arrive, this indicates there’s enemy surveillance just 20 meters out of the woods where he starts!

Gu Feng continued to simulate, walking in another direction.

A gunfight would occur after 18 minutes this time.

That means, during the initial 4-minute stretch of his second simulation, there was no surveillance!

Back in reality, Gu Feng immediately took the route from his second plan and after walking for 3 minutes, he continued to simulate projected scenarios.

The old men at headquarters noticed something unusual, "Switch to all surveillance feeds on Yue Qian’s end."

The technician nodded and deployed the first-person views from the surveillance monitored by Yue Qian’s area.

Because they realized that Gu Feng’s route had already entered Yue Qian’s territory, he even avoided a nearby patrol of about 10 soldiers at a distance of roughly 100 meters.

When they switched to Yue Qian’s first-person view, the old men at headquarters suddenly understood.

Because in Yue Qian’s view, Gu Feng didn’t appear at all!

An old man interestedly said, "Old Gu, remember 3 years ago when you blamed us for not keeping this kid confined within the country?"

Of course, Gu Dadong remembered.

Back then, his son wanted to go abroad for revenge.

There was no way his family and organization would let him take such a risk, knowing the importance of Gu Feng to the country.

At that time, Gu Dadong ordered to keep an eye on his son by land, sea, and air.

Yet, the kid still managed to leave the country, and once gone, he was gone for 3 years!

That incident had caused quite a few heated arguments and blame games with this old man and Gu Dadong.

If it weren’t for knowing that his son would regularly check in with Yu Ling, Gu Dadong would have been ready to fight with his colleagues.

"You really don’t understand Feng’s counter-surveillance capabilities," this old man explained with frustration. "Your assessment reports never matched his upper limit!"

Watching Gu Feng on the screen, seeing him dodge three groups of patrolling soldiers, surveillance, and drones, he became more convinced and said, "Only I knew how intricate the network I had laid was three years ago. I bet with you guys, this kid will execute this decapitation without shedding a drop of blood!"

In the footage, one could see Gu Feng even using Qinggong when necessary, stepping between treetops, surpassing the ground-level surveillance range.

The old men at headquarters were instantly dumbfounded.

The old military guy responsible for preventing Gu Feng from leaving the country trembled with anger, "Did any of your previous reports mention that this kid had these climbing skills? What the hell is this?"

Everyone was stunned!

"Is this considered Qinggong?"

Gu Dadong also took a deep breath, "He never used it in any training before."

The recorder was also perplexed, "Boss, how should I record this?"

Having lived to this age, no one had ever seen real Qinggong!

The key was that the Qinggong performed by Gu Feng was even more bizarre than what’s shown in TV dramas.

Because in the woods, his few steps made no sound at all, and his drifting speed was even smoother than on the ground.

Far away in the fortress, Yue Qian was watching the time, staring intensely at the surveillance feed, "Isn’t he coming yet? This time, I won’t lose again!"

Just to be safe, he even communicated with the patrolling teams, "Any abnormalities or targets spotted?"

The teams immediately responded, "Nothing abnormal on my end!"

"All clear here!"

"I’m clear too!"

Hearing their dialogue, a few old men at headquarters rolled their eyes, "Seriously, couldn’t you have changed the person in charge? Why is it still Yue Qian? He has suffered a lot under Gu Feng."

Gu Dadong sighed, "The moment he heard it was an assessment for Feng, he volunteered to come."

Everyone in the conference room sighed.

On Yue Qian’s end, hearing the farthest team of 10 report, "Commander, we’ve patrolled out of bounds, and saw fights breaking out between Zones A and B."

Yue Qian suddenly had an idea, "Can you count the number of people?"

The captain of the team of 10 took a few minutes and then said, "Exactly right, 10 on each side, a total of 20, oh, and by the way, Combat Power A isn’t doing well, they’ve had 2 eliminated."

Yue Qian’s expression changed, "Damn it, withdraw immediately, all of you get back and secure the base, hurry!"

The team captains were filled with questions.

Yue Qian cursed, "The actual number of people in Zone A is 11!"
