Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2169 - 2232: Intimidation
"Yes!" Li Yifei spoke, waving his hand, casually unleashing a blade of white energy that struck a large rock by the water’s edge, causing it to shatter with a loud bang.
Looking at Bare-ass General, his mouth opened wide, glancing between Li Yifei and the shattered rock several times, before slapping his own head to snap awake, saying, "I can teach you, but... don’t use that move on me."
"If you put on some clothes, I won’t use it." Li Yifei glanced at him, but then his eyes caught something he shouldn’t have, instantly making him want to attack.
"Uh... I’m used to it, well, I can teach you right away." Bare-ass General scratched his head, speaking with a hint of fear.
This big guy was even more straightforward than General Lion. He taught directly, although both of them were humans and their internal structures weren’t too different, the things they cultivated varied. Li Yifei felt they focused more on mental cultivation, firm beliefs, whereas Li Yifei or the people of Huaxia emphasized on cultivating the Dantian, while mental cultivation was also pursued.
From another perspective, Huaxia cultivators focused more on self-cultivation, refining the Dantian continuously, connecting with the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, expanding their meridians, and impacting various channels to accommodate more Spirit Qi, transforming it for personal use. Whereas these witches, even saints, emphasized spiritual cultivation, improving through meditation and certain means, becoming more devout, and upon reaching a certain level of devotion, they were granted power by the divine, especially the witches.
So, Bare-ass General’s method of transforming witchcraft into armor wasn’t hard for him; as long as the witchcraft was sufficient, he could simply imagine it. However, for Li Yifei, it was somewhat difficult, requiring a complete method.
Far more challenging than converting True Qi into a knife, True Qi’s flow in the body needed to simulate a human form, a suit of armor, and then condense this armor to prevent it from vanishing upon materialization.
Overall, the most difficult part was keeping True Qi outside the body for an extended period, as it’s mentioned before that True Qi reverts to dispersion once leaving the body.
After four or five hours, during which Bare-ass General had slept twice, Li Yifei finally understood, forming a layer of white armor on him, resembling the armor warriors wore in ancient battles. His comprehension speed was indeed fast, even astonishingly so because Bare-ass General only told him some principles, and Li Yifei had to figure things out himself.
Awakening Bare-ass General, the other party, still groggy, saw Li Yifei clad in the white armor, thinly layered, and was startled, taking several seconds to recall what this was, immediately smiling wide, "You are truly amazing to accomplish this."
"Haha, take that gun and shoot me." Li Yifei raised his chin.
"Ah?" Bare-ass General seemed hesitant, so Li Yifei stated, "Just testing."
"Alright... okay, I’ll shoot your leg then, so even if injured, it won’t be too serious." Bare-ass General picked up a pistol, checked the bullets, retreated a dozen steps, and aimed at Li Yifei’s leg, suddenly considering what would happen if he aimed at Li Yifei’s head and fired several shots. Seeing Li Yifei’s profound, mysterious smile, Bare-ass General immediately shook his head; this Eastern man was truly strong, better not provoke him.
With a "bang," he fired a shot, the bullet hitting Li Yifei’s right leg, a flash of white light, making the bullet seem to hit cotton. Over a second later, it dropped to the ground with a thud.
Li Yifei’s smile widened; succeeding was rewarding despite the troubles with the witch’s pursuit. Thinking of this, he explained, Bare-ass General listened, blinking twice, facial muscles twitching, saying, "Did you... kill them all?"
Seeing Li Yifei nod, he quickly smiled wide, saying, "With the divine above, thank you! They will definitely come after you, but... I might not be much help; I could handle one if they come solo, but several, definitely not."
"Didn’t expect you to." Li Yifei chuckled, dismissing the armor, glanced at the sun, and said, "My goal is achieved now, you may leave."
"Uh... I have no place to go, my team scattered, the prior base likely seized. Now I need to head to General Lion’s place, are you headed there, sir?"
"Yes." Li Yifei replied.
"Let’s go together then; at least we can look out for each other... Though I’m not that capable, my gun skill is decent." Bare-ass General almost said he would protect Li Yifei but quickly changed considering Li Yifei’s strength.
Hours later, they seized a government command vehicle, eliminated its occupants, driving back to General Lion’s domain, entered the small town where people rushed up, seeing Li Yifei, immediately kneeling in salute.
Bare-ass General grinned, hearing them call Li Yifei "Messenger lord," he agreed with the term, this Eastern man was indeed incredible, unfathomable like an ocean, with no visible bounds.
Meeting General Lion, he hastily apologized to Li Yifei, saying to hurry back he had taken the vehicle. Li Yifei didn’t mind, taking his phone, opening it to see many messages, mostly from home, some from Wu Shuwei; he didn’t rush to reply home, but opened Wu Shuwei’s messages, she asked, "How did it go? Found it?"
"Found it, just returned," Li Yifei replied.
Wu Shuwei quickly responded, "That’s good, I just finished signing, our task is complete, we can prepare to return home."
"Haha, good, I have a small trouble here, but it will soon be resolved, wrap up and return to the company base, wait for me, we’ll go together," Li Yifei replied.
"Okay!" Wu Shuwei replied.
Li Yifei put down the phone. As he had just finished replying to his family’s message, he saw Wu Shuwei calling and was about to jokingly ask if she already missed him, but he heard Wu Shuwei’s urgent and panicked voice instead.
"What happened?" Li Yifei quickly asked.
"Yifei, there are people coming after us. I don’t even know... Ah. Don’t come any closer!" Wu Shuwei said halfway through before the phone dropped to the ground. Li Yifei only heard a flurry of chaotic sounds, and then the call was disconnected.
Damn it! Li Yifei immediately became alert. What on earth happened? He knew Wu Shuwei went to represent the group in signing a cooperation project with the local government today. They had been negotiating for a long time. How could there be danger?
No time to think too much, Li Yifei got up quickly, heading downstairs while calling the company base. He remembered the guard team’s number, so he dialed it, and it was Little Liuu who answered. Upon hearing Li Yifei’s voice, Little Liuu quickly asked a bunch of questions. Li Yifei had no time for small talk and said, "Give me Zhang Xi’s number, and also, find out immediately what’s happening with Manager Wu!"
"Huh? Brother Li, what’s going on? Didn’t Manager Wu go to Kananga for signing?" Little Liuu asked hurriedly.
"I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you to find out. Manager Wu just said they were attacked, contact the higher-ups and get in touch with the embassy right away!"
Li Yifei descended the stairs, just as two people entered. Seeing Li Yifei’s grim expression and hurried demeanor, General Lion asked quickly, "Sir, what happened?"
"My people are in danger, likely kidnapped!" Li Yifei said.
"Huh? Someone dared to kidnap your people? They must have a death wish! Sir, don’t worry, maybe we can help you."
"How far is it to Kananga from here?" Li Yifei asked.
"Kananga? Oh my, your friend is there!" Bare-ass General showed a bit of a troubled face and said, "If it’s there, we probably can’t help much because we are the rebel army, and that’s a government-controlled area."
"I didn’t ask you that, I’m asking how far it is."
"Over five hundred kilometers!" Bare-ass General quickly replied. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
General Lion added, "It should be a straight-line distance; otherwise, it’d be further."
"Damn it!" Li Yifei cursed. A distance of over five hundred kilometers, even driving a sports car couldn’t get him there immediately.
"Don’t worry, I have a helicopter here, we can fly over!" General Lion said quickly.
"You sure?"
"I’m sure. We intercepted it a few weeks ago, but... none of my people know how to fly it, so it’s been sitting there."
"Go prepare it, fill it up with fuel, I can fly it." Li Yifei said, grabbing the person by the collar.
"Uh uh?" Both were surprised as they didn’t expect Li Yifei to not only have great skill but also be able to pilot a helicopter.
For Li Yifei, this was really not a big deal. His past training projects even included piloting small planes and fighter jets, so a helicopter was not a problem for him. When Li Yifei saw the helicopter, he found out that what General Lion had intercepted was actually a military helicopter.
With a glance, Li Yifei recognized it as a Tiger helicopter, likely model AD665, a kind of Tiger helicopter jointly developed by Germany and France. It’s a four-rotor, twin-engine multi-role armed helicopter, the first in the world to incorporate air superiority combat in the design and implement it.
Its aerial maneuverability, endurance, and cannon shooting precision are all superior to the American-made AH-64 armored helicopters, suitable for helicopter air combat. Although its overall weapon loadout is not as robust as American-made armed helicopters, it is still competent for general anti-tank, soft target hunting, or close support tasks; and in terms of logistics maintenance costs, the Tiger has a significant advantage over the AH-64, AH-1 series.
Li Yifei did not expect these people to have intercepted such an armed helicopter, but at this point, this was simply the best possible outcome because the flight speed of this helicopter was fast, much faster than traveling over land.
