Chapter 218: Chapter 206: Darling is Doomed, Such a Tender-faced Captain! (2/3)

"Thud, thud, thud."

Knocks and Du Baocuan’s voice came from outside the door, "Young Master Chu, are you up?"

Chu Feng pulled open the door, smiled faintly, and said, "If you’re ready, let’s go."

Seeing the bloodshot whites of his eyes, Du Baocuan was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Did you not sleep all night? Want to rest a bit?"

"No need, time is of the essence. Let’s set off right away."

Every minute of the night increased the chances of those Fire Ritual Spirit Demons escaping, which Chu Feng found truly hard to accept.

"Okay, which hospital are we going to?"

"The one affiliated with the Demon Extermination Army."

...

At ten o’clock in the morning, Chu Feng strode out of the military hospital at Mount Alk, with Du Baocuan following behind, lavishing him with extravagant praises.

"I, Old Du, am fortunate enough to witness a living martial arts champion. What a sight! The perks are really good, too—you even got to skip the queue to see a doctor!"

Du Baocuan was full of admiration, his words dripping with envy.

Just now, Chu Feng had taken him directly to the information desk, showed his Top Scholar Gold Book, explained his purpose, and the desk arranged for a doctor to remove the entangled magic power from his body.

With the lingering illness gone, he now felt so light and refreshed, he almost wanted to fly.

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "Top scholar or not, that’s a past identity, it doesn’t represent anything.

"For the journey ahead, we’ll be relying on Brother Du’s experience, which is the most valuable."

"No problem, rest assured. Since I, Old Du, have taken your money, I’ll do the job neatly!" Du Baocuan patted his chest, "I’ll make sure to deliver you to the place!"

Then he chuckled sheepishly, "But I wouldn’t dare to provoke that group from the Demon Clan. My mission will be complete by then."

"Of course, you can leave on your own when the time comes," Chu Feng said with a smile.

...

Chu Feng set off in Du Baocuan’s seemingly dilapidated, but actually extremely durable, modified off-road vehicle.

They passed through the Demon Extermination Army’s checkpoint on the west side of the city, made a brief registration, then entered a slightly grey, transparent dome, heading towards the Far East Defense Line.

This dome was the boundary between the Demon Battlefield and Longhua’s territory, and for some reasons, it had become so thin it almost didn’t affect the sight anymore.

The location of the mission Chu Feng had taken on before coming here was the former site of the Grey Vulture Camp on the Far East Defense Line, where a battalion’s worth of troops had now been re-stationed.

He was to report to the camp first, and then go after those Fire Ritual Spirit Demons.

...

Half a day later.

Chu Feng, in a change of clothes, supported the disheveled Du Baocuan, flying swiftly through the air, their clothes flapping loudly.

With a face full of sorrow, Du Baocuan lamented, "My dear precious! Those crazed beasts actually wrecked my beloved car!

"It was an old friend who has been with me for more than a decade, dearer to me than my ex-wife!

"Over the years, I’ve spent a total of six hundred thousand on her!"

The "dear precious" he referred to was the modified off-road vehicle, which had been gutted by a small group of Demons that burrowed out of the ground on the way, leaving it completely wrecked.

After killing that group of Demons, Chu Feng, in order to increase speed, simply abandoned the vehicle and flew over here directly with Du Baocuan.

When he upgraded his Wind-Thunder Step Technique, he gained the Intermediate Wind-Riding Trait, which made his flying speed extremely fast, significantly reduced his stamina consumption, and allowed him to endure long distances. He had flown continuously for forty or fifty miles without feeling fatigued.

He laughed, "It’s just a car, we can buy another one when we go back. I’m half responsible for the destruction of this car, so I’ll reimburse you."

"You mean it? Uh, I mean, that’s really embarrassing... but still, thank you, Young Master Chu!"

Du Baocuan, reflexively agreeing, blushed with embarrassment upon realizing his response.

However, Chu Feng guessed he was probably feigning it.

"It’s nothing," he said with a casual wave of the hand.

Du Baocuan smacked his lips, wanting to say something to shift the awkwardness. Looking at the ground quickly passing below, he asked:

"Young Master Chu, can you still hold on? I heard that Everlasting Realm Warriors consume a lot of True Force when flying and usually can’t fly for long before needing a rest."

In fact, Chu Feng being able to carry him while flying so quickly and for such a long time had already astonished him.

The commander of his Hunting Team was also an Everlasting Realm Warrior, but his flying was more like floating, neither high nor fast, and could only be used as a human hot-air balloon for scouting enemy positions.

The difference between him and Chu Feng, who was as fast as lightning, was like that between heaven and earth. Was this kid really just recently promoted to the Everlasting Realm?

Du Baocuan was both surprised and skeptical in his heart, suspecting that Chu Feng definitely had some secrets, but as an old hand, he didn’t show anything on his face.

Chu Feng looked up, glanced at the faint silhouettes of human buildings on the horizon, and smiled,"I can manage. Do you see if that’s the Demon Extermination Army’s camp up ahead?"

"Yes, that’s it!" Du Baocuan affirmed after a few glances.

"Good, then let’s hurry up!"

"Damn it—"

Chu Feng suddenly accelerated. The unexpected gust of wind forced Du Baocuan’s exclamation back into his stomach and even wrinkled his skin, making him look like a dog’s head sticking out of a car window at high speed.

...

It wasn’t until they were close to the camp that they landed at Du Baocuan’s reminder and slowly walked towards the camp.

At the entrance, there were Demon Elimination Army warriors on guard. Chu Feng left Du Baocuan outside, took out his identification, and entered the camp.

In a bungalow at the logistics area, he met with the issuer and receiver of the mission.

"Captain Chu, how do you do? I’m Ye Kai, the logistics officer of the 381st Regiment, 19th Battalion, stationed at the Far East Defense Line of the Demon Exorcism Corps!"

Just as Chu Feng was about to speak upon meeting the man in charge, the burly and stalwart man named Ye Kai stood up first and saluted him respectfully.

A look of shock flashed across the faces of the few clerks in the room, who quickly got up and saluted Chu Feng.

They quietly sized up Chu Feng, wondering to themselves, a captain? Who is this high-ranking officer? Is he here on an incognito inspection?

Why does he look so young, almost like a university student...

"Uh, hello, Sub-lieutenant Ye!"

Chu Feng was somewhat taken aback, having not expected to be addressed with a rank of honor, and could only respond in kind with a military salute.

Luckily, he had recently brushed up on the Demon Extermination Army’s ranks, so at least he could tell what level the person opposite was at.

Ye Kai smiled immediately after saluting,"Captain Chu, I received notice quite early that you’d accepted the mission from Yan University, and now I will promptly assist you with the relevant procedures.

"You lot, stop gawking, and get back to work!"

He waved his hand to send the startled clerks back to their tasks.

Anybody could guess that these youngsters were nearly dumbfounded: This captain is really a college student?

"Captain Chu, you’ve chosen a scouting mission. According to the relevant regulations, as long as you can provide the whereabouts of any Demon Clan tracks, once we verify it, your mission will be considered complete."

Ye Kai did not sit down; instead, he leaned over and swiftly wrote on a document on the desk, inwardly admiring the student for having the courage to undertake the mission alone.

In previous years, students of this age preferred group activities, following the Demon Elimination warriors and assisting in their work, which involved lots of activity but little risk, and they could muddle through to complete their tasks.

Those a bit older would usually form their own teams.

"Yes."

"Alright, this is your temporary battlefield pass. You’re allowed to move around only with it, so please don’t lose it, and remember to return it when you leave."

"Okay, thank you!"

After escorting Chu Feng out of the logistics area, Ye Kai was immediately surrounded by the curious clerks upon his return.

...

After leaving the camp, Chu Feng looked at Du Baocuan,"Old Du, do you have a temporary pass?"

"Yes, mine hasn’t expired yet."

"Great, tell me the direction, let’s walk."

Chu Feng grabbed Du Baocuan’s shoulder, pressed hard with his foot, and with the astonished gazes of the guard soldiers, he took off like a shooting star in the direction Du Baocuan pointed.
