Chapter 307: Chapter 329: The Surgery

Wei Rui, once followed by just over twenty people, now had over forty behind him, each one’s face alight with excitement at the thought that by completely "annihilating" the four opponents in front of them, they could become members of the Dragon Team. This thought alone filled them with immense intensity.

Among them were certainly those looking to fish in troubled waters, and Wei Rui was fully aware of this. Still, he couldn’t be bothered to care too much; having these people bolster his presence was good enough. As for whether they’d get eliminated or selected for the Dragon Team, that was none of his business!

Wei Rui’s goal was singular: to kick Fang Yi out of the game because that kid had made him lose face. He intended to reclaim his dignity!

"Kid," Li Zhengnan, having approached at some point, asked, "Do you have confidence?"

Fang Yi had a good impression of Li Zhengnan and replied with a smile, "We’re already up against it, so even if I didn’t have confidence, I’d have to go on."

Li Zhengnan found this young man unpredictable and all he could say was, "Do your best." That was all he could offer, as he couldn’t help Fang Yi with anything else, far less assist him in cheating.

Chen Feng also came forward, patted Fang Yi on the shoulder, and said, "That Wei Rui is very cunning, be careful."

Fang Yi smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he gets booted from the Dragon Team."

Chen Feng smiled noncommittally. He didn’t harbor such hopes; he only wished that Fang Yi could hold out until the end.

Everything was ready; the firearms and ammunition for the combat exercise had already been prepared, along with compressed biscuits, because no one knew if it would all be over by today.

Finally, Wei Rui walked over, his face twisted into a sneer, and he coldly said, "Kid, I’ll make you realize the gap between you and me."

Fang Yi replied, cool and composed, "Safe travels."

Wei Rui’s expression darkened, and with a snort, he turned around and left, taking Fang Mutian, Song Ya, and the others with him, instantly making the field seem much more spacious.

"Alright, let’s go too," Fang Yi said to Bai Rou and the others.

Under the gaze of Li Zhengnan and Chen Feng, Fang Yi led the three others away and into the woods.

"With Wei Rui being a member of the Blood Dragon Guard, and having capable young followers like Fang Mutian and Song Ya by his side, I hope Fang Yi can make it through," Li Zhengnan said, his decades of experience left him doubting that Fang Yi, with only three people, could defeat Wei Rui.

Chen Feng also smiled wryly, sharing the same sentiment as Li Zhengnan.

At that moment, a communicator hurried over and reported, "Instructor Li, Elder Liu has arrived."

Li Zhengnan put his thoughts aside and was slightly surprised, "What is Elder Liu doing here?"

Chen Feng heard this too and suggested, "He might have heard about what’s happening."

Li Zhengnan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let’s go."

...

Fang Yi and the other three also entered the woods.

Leading the way without hesitation, Fang Yi first followed a mountain trail, then stopped at a certain spot to measure the distance before leaping into it, with Bai Rou and the rest following without asking any questions.

Having already sided with Fang Yi, they chose to trust him completely.

This part of the forest hadn’t been fully developed, possessing only the rudiments of a mountain trail for training purposes. Therefore, upon entering the woods, Fang Yi and his companions encountered thorny bushes, tall grass, and piles of thick fallen leaves.

After walking a bit further, they reached a slope, and Fang Yi stopped.

"Qianqian, Zhengyi," Fang Yi called the two with a stern face.

"Yes!"

Chu Qianqian and Meng Zhengyi responded in unison.

"Go up this slope, and after you’re up there, find a hidden spot. Keep the communication lines open at all times. If anything unexpected happens, make sure to conceal yourselves well. The main thing is to avoid accidents and not get eliminated. Understand?"

Fang Yi said in a deep voice; he felt responsible for the two of them.

Beside her, Bai Rou looked at Fang Yi, who was different from the laissez-faire attitude he had shown before. At this moment, he was serious and decisive, his words filled with sharpness, presenting a stark contrast to his earlier self and giving people a sense of trust and reliance.

Chu Qianqian and Meng Zhengyi responded again, then proceeded to trek up the slope overgrown with weeds.

Afterwards, Fang Yi turned to Bai Rou and said, "Are you coming with me, or are we going separately?"

Bai Rou replied, "Let’s act separately. It’s more efficient that way." She had already thought this through beforehand.

Fang Yi nodded, "Alright, let’s meet at the mountain top in three hours."

...

Walking through the dense forest, Fang Yi observed the surrounding terrain with eagle-like eyes, taking in the environment for any necessary actions.

As a soldier, even a special forces operative, understanding the environment of the battle ground is crucial, and Fang Yi had naturally experienced this kind of terrain before.

For example, in the Amazon River basin in South America, Fang Yi had been through the harsh jungle environment there. Compared to that place, this was practically Heaven.

Fang Yi’s gear consisted of an automatic rifle, a black pistol, a military knife, and some ammunition; he carried no food.

In the wilderness, Fang Yi never lacked for sustenance.

Of course, in addition to these, he also had a radio communications device and a chip in his collar that served as an identity marker and could transmit data back to the base control room.

Fang Yi appeared to be wandering aimlessly, but in reality, he was matching his surroundings to the map in his mind, which he had studied beforehand. He was guessing where Wei Rui would start his attack.

Wei Rui was familiar with the terrain, and with the advantage of numbers, he could perform a sweeping search, capturing one and then attacking en masse. If Fang Yi were in his shoes, he would also use this tactic; it’s called leveraging your advantages.

However, this was precisely what Fang Yi was counting on.

To use one’s own weakness against the enemy’s strength! Fang Yi planned to turn the tables!

Suddenly, like a cheetah, Fang Yi dashed out, running at lightning speed through the forest.

To remain still is to prepare; to move is to be like the wind!

Taking the initiative, Fang Yi soon encountered a group of people, precisely fifteen.

A gleam of intelligence flashed in Fang Yi’s eyes, and he quickly guessed Wei Rui’s thoughts. Wei Rui’s side had over forty people, split into three groups, each group possessing formidable combat strength. Besides Fang Yi, Bai Rou, Chu Qianqian, or Meng Zhengyi would all be annihilated instantly.

"Looks like I’ll start with you."

Fang Yi’s eyes flickered coldly as he crouched down, concealed his presence, and stealthily departed.

The leader of these fifteen men, Yu Geng, was not appointed by Wei Rui, but by Fang Mutian.

Looking back, Yu Geng felt a surge of pride. He had never imagined leading a team of more than a dozen men. If he could capture Fang Yi and bring him back, Yu Geng believed he would definitely earn Fang Mutian’s trust.

With such a patron, wouldn’t his prospects be limitless in the future?

"Fang Yi, huh? If you dare show up, I, Yu Geng, guarantee you’ll never escape from the palm of my hand!" Yu Geng muttered coldly to himself.

Beep~~~ Beep~~~

Suddenly, a mechanical electronic sound rang out, snapping Yu Geng back from his reverie.

Surprised at first, Yu Geng then looked down, his face changing to one of panic as he yelled, "No!!!"

Boom!

An explosion erupted from beneath Yu Geng’s feet, sending shockwaves tearing through the air. The group of fifteen was instantly caught in the blast, severely scattered and disrupted.
