Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1926 - 1989: Disguises

The Islamic Republic of Iran is located in West Asia and belongs to the Middle East. Iran’s northern part borders the Caspian Sea, while the southern part is adjacent to the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. Iran’s eastern neighbors are Pakistan and Afghanistan, while the northeast borders Turkmenistan, the northwest borders Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Turkey and Iraq lie to the west. With a land area of approximately 1,648,195 square kilometers, it ranks eighteenth worldwide, and its population exceeds seventy million, close to eighty million, making it one of the populous countries.

This is an ancient civilization, one of the four great ancient civilizations of the world. The Persian Empire was established here in the four to five hundred years BC, with vast territories, dominating the area at the time, contributing significantly to human civilization. Unfortunately, nowadays, the entire Middle Eastern region is engulfed in war, with very few places unaffected. Many ancient buildings have been destroyed by senseless warfare.

The two people were even more streamlined this time, carrying no weapons but still smuggling across.

Chalak port, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan had dinner, and stayed here for the night. At this time, Li Yifei was wearing Arab robes, and Xu Shanshan was also wearing a burqa, a black robe worn by Muslim women, covering from head to toe.

Originally, Xu Shanshan was extremely unwilling, but there was no choice. After the two landed at Chalak port, due to Xu Shanshan’s attire and face, they faced harassment from five groups of men within half an hour. All were men, directly accusing Xu Shanshan with foul language, and some even threatened with guns, saying things like women shouldn’t show up on the streets, shouldn’t dress like that, shouldn’t reveal their hair...

The opponents were ordinary people, even if they carried guns, still ordinary people. And these were all men, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan couldn’t just teach them all a lesson, especially as their identities were yet unclear, causing trouble would only lead to fleeing, in such tightly controlled places, keeping a low profile is necessary.

In conclusion, despite a thousand unwillingness, Xu Shanshan bought the burqa and put it on. This attire, which can hardly be called clothing, covered her whole body except for a few small openings at the face for breathing and seeing, but how could one clearly see? With the robe covering her, even walking required extreme caution to avoid tripping on the burqa.

Anyway, Xu Shanshan had great complaints about this kind of clothing, but in this place, she couldn’t avoid wearing it; otherwise, she would be considered an outcast and face accusation from all men, provoking their anger.

Li Yifei, on the other hand, was much better off, even could not wear the robe. To blend with the local culture, Li Yifei deliberately used True Qi to grow a lot of facial hair, reducing the discrepancy in beard length and quantity between him and locals.

After dinner, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan returned to the small inn they found earlier. Entering the room, Xu Shanshan couldn’t stand it and tore off the burqa, complaining aloud.

"I don’t care, hubby, you must do my makeup and disguise me as a man, I want to stay here normally, if I keep wearing this I might go crazy!" Xu Shanshan sat on the bed, kicked off her shoes, and started complaining.

Li Yifei confirmed the surroundings were safe, smiled, approached, and held Xu Shanshan’s small foot, gently kneading it, saying: "Can’t bear it already? Our mission will be much tougher than this."

Xu Shanshan’s face immediately drooped, saying: "But not this kind of attire, although I can use True Qi to regulate my temperature, preventing overheating, this attire really restricts movement, affects vision, and hearing. I even thought my hearing was impaired, couldn’t hear your footsteps beside me. I can’t stand it, I’ll go crazy wearing it!"

"Then... where to find things for your disguise?" Li Yifei finished rubbing one foot, put it down, grabbed the other foot to continue massaging, and added, "I know carrying this is inconvenient, but in this region, even in these countries, it’s customary. Not wearing it means becoming an outcast, not accepted." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"This damn place, hubby, if the place permitted, I would beat those hateful men half-dead. It’s infuriating, being accused of dressing indecently, even when I nearly blocked my neck with clothing, they still complained. It’s irritating. If at home, I would have knocked them down already." Xu Shanshan got more and more angry as she spoke, clenching her fists in frustration.

"You realize the good things about home, don’t you?" Li Yifei chuckled and said.

"Hmph, really wonder what’s inside these people’s heads..."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this, it’s their culture, if they don’t perceive anything wrong, our interference is pointless. And it’s only you and me, speaking has no effect. If you genuinely don’t want to dress like this, I’ll figure something out." Li Yifei pinched Xu Shanshan’s cheek, comforting her.

Xu Shanshan finally smiled, reached out to hug Li Yifei’s neck, saying: "I knew hubby would be good to me! It’s not that I’m being unreasonable, I know not to mess around, but I truly can’t stand this, it’s not for humans."

"Alright, I promised to think of a way!" Li Yifei said, Xu Shanshan then offered her small lips, ending in a long kiss, both lying on the bed still dressed. In this condition, there was no way to bathe, but Xu Shanshan didn’t complain about that; she couldn’t stand a woman being forced to dress like that, even revealing the face would be better, in this hot season, being fully covered is unbearable. She is fine, how could ordinary women withstand it?

Li Yifei left in the middle of the night, not to scout but to find things. Since Xu Shanshan didn’t want to dress like this the next day, Li Yifei had to change her attire. So the next morning, they didn’t rush to leave and spent nearly two hours altering Xu Shanshan’s outfit, doing makeup, Li Yifei adding a lot of very thick beard on Xu Shanshan’s face, obscuring most of the face. Then Li Yifei found her a man’s robe, but the hardest part was her hair, although not long, was still much longer compared to men.

In this place, few men have long hair.

Xu Shanshan directly drew a dagger from her leg, swiftly and decisively cut off half of her hair without hesitation, then tossed her head, saying to Li Yifei, "Now it’s fine."

Li Yifei was stunned, finally nodding, saying: "It’s fine, just... looks more like a man!"

Xu Shanshan pursed her lips, saying: "No matter, doesn’t need to look good here." Her finger pointed at her chest, it’s still very prominent. Li Yifei followed her gaze, licking his lips, saying: "You mentioned I want to taste."

"Right now?" Xu Shanshan blinked, then seductively traced circles on her chest with her finger, saying, "Exactly, since I’ll soon become a man, craving more would be abnormal."

Li Yifei let out a few dry laughs, seeing Xu Shanshan suddenly start stripping, saying as she undressed, "I forgot here, need to bind it tighter, hubby help me."

Help you? How to help, Li Yifei grinningly rubbed his hands and approached, his fiery hands imprinted there, making Xu Shanshan’s body shiver, igniting Li Yifei’s interest.

Soon, seductive sounds filled the small room, still Xu Shanshan suppressed them. After all, the landlord wasn’t a good person either, Xu Shanshan didn’t want the landlord to hear.

Feeling was peculiar, especially facing the bearded Xu Shanshan and then doing that, Li Yifei clearly knew it’s Xu Shanshan, but it felt so different.

The two went out again at noon, before coming to Iran, Li Yifei just suppressed Su Lio’s chill, so theoretically they can linger here for six days. If the mission isn’t completed within six days, then Li Yifei couldn’t help it, he must return to suppress Su Lio’s chill, which cannot be delayed.

And the spy personnel from the Northern Military Region hadn’t contacted him yet, they had to hurry to the next destination for rendezvous.

Before the rendezvous, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan needed to acquire their identity, however, Xu Shanshan changed her appearance, from a woman to a man, thus her identity had to be redone, but a man’s identity is easier to manage, albeit more costly.

If money could solve it, then it’s not a problem. Li Yifei generously gave them double the money, resulting in their identities being prepared ahead of time. Li Yifei then rented a vehicle, saying they were heading to Bastak. Bastak is a major city in Iran, and Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan drove overnight to Bastak, reaching the location by next morning. It can’t be helped, unfamiliarity with the terrain is one reason, poor transportation is another, a narrow road with many vehicles.

Upon reaching Bastak, they stopped for breakfast, rested briefly, as it was inland, but not their target destination. The spy’s location was a small town, named Hena Town, with a population of several ten thousand. They arrived there by afternoon.

Thus, two days in Iran have passed, with four days remaining, on the fifth day, regardless, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan had to head back.

In Hena Town, Li Yifei met a bearded man, exchanged codes, then the man guided them to a secluded place, an abandoned factory. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan surveyed the factory, as the man pulled a case from below a machine.
