Chapter 127 Ambush! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The next day.

Base 9.

Departure preparation area.

"XCMG, it's been a long time."

"Our Wind and Fire Squad will continue to take over the escort duties today."

Li Feng smiled and extended his hand to Xu Feng and Lao Chen.

After the three shook hands, Li Feng explained, "Because this mission has a short duration and a small team, it's easier to stay hidden."

So our squad is perfectly adequate.

Unexpectedly, Old Chen, who was standing to the side, was quite dissatisfied and said, "Why isn't it Captain Sun? You guys are a squad of junior warriors."

With the situation outside so chaotic lately, are our security forces really sufficient?

Upon hearing this, the warriors of the Wind and Fire Squad became enraged and glared at Old Chen.

Xu Feng quickly smoothed things over: "Don't worry, Lao Chen, the Wind and Fire Squad is very strong."

We've worked together many times, and nothing's ever gone wrong. Besides, I'm here for you, aren't I?

Old Chen thought about it carefully and agreed.

So he stopped worrying about it: "If I encounter any danger, XCMG has to protect me, okay?"

Sensing the dissatisfaction of Li Feng and the others, Xu Feng quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, don't worry."

After setting off.

Li Feng, Xiao Mu, Xu Feng, and Lao Chen squeezed into one car, while the other team members were in another car.

Xiao Mu was driving Xu Feng's car, while Li Feng sat in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that your previous security captain was Captain Sun Qian."

I heard that person is difficult to get along with. Did she give you any trouble?

Not long after leaving the base, Li Feng turned around and asked.

Old Chen was speechless and said, "It's not just difficult, that woman is practically a living devil."

"It's terrifying; whoever marries her will be in deep trouble."

The air inside the car suddenly became still.

"Ahem, just a heads up, our captain is currently pursuing Captain Sun like crazy."

Xiao Mu, who was driving, forced a smile through his distorted expression and looked up at the sky as he spoke.

Old Chen: "."

Xu Feng looked at Li Feng with admiration, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Captain Li is a remarkable person, I admire you!"

Li Feng chuckled and returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, saying, "Not at all, not at all."

next moment.

Immediately, Chen Kai's speechless voice came from the other car over the radio: "Xu Gong, you two are at odds now."
If you ask me, a tomboy like Captain Sun has too small a market; which man—"

Halfway through his sentence, Chen Kai seemed to sense the murderous intent in Li Feng's eyes.

She immediately changed the subject: "Any man she can choose is a true strongman."

I think our captain has a very good chance, even though his skills are slightly lacking.

"You won't die if you don't talk." Xiao Mu turned off the radio.

Li Feng's face twitched slightly, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xu Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you're a little weaker."

As long as two people share similar interests and like each other, their abilities will continue to grow, right?
Once you reach the higher rank of warrior, it becomes more difficult to increase your strength, while the growth potential of a lower rank warrior is greater.

When I married my wife, I was just a weakling and extremely poor.

But my wife is already a junior warrior, and she's a genius from Wuhan University.

We are still living happily together, and my abilities are quickly catching up with hers.

This shows that the difference in strength is not an obstacle preventing two people from being together.

"XCMG is absolutely right! XCMG, you've won me over completely! XCMG, I want to become sworn brothers with you!"

Li Feng turned to look at Xu Feng with a touched expression.

Xu Feng laughed and said, "No, no, I was just telling the truth. After all, I have a lot of experience in this area."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Old Chen turned to Xu Feng and asked, "Engineer Xu, speaking of which, I'm also quite curious."

According to you, you were already forty years old back then, and you were still raising a child.

"You have neither money nor ability, how did Miss Lu come to fancy you?"

Everyone in the car: "."

Li Feng and Xiao Mu both looked up at the sky, their eyelids twitching, their minds racing as they tried to figure out how to defuse the awkward situation.

Old Chen, however, was completely oblivious to anything amiss. He simply looked at Xu Feng with a bewildered expression, as if he were a child waiting to understand.

Xu Feng has finally discovered it.

Old Chen is a natural conversational genius.

No wonder he's been in the military repair department for so long; his technical skills are much better than Liu Charlie's.

But others were appointed as ministers, while he was just a group leader.

I heard that he has more seniority in the military maintenance department than Lao Liu, and is a true veteran.

In retrospect, there was a reason for that.

However, Xu Feng never hid anything about this issue, frankly saying, "Ahem, the story of how we met is a long one."

Basically, Lu Fei grew up in a single-parent family, raised by her father.

Therefore, she always had an inexplicable fondness for single fathers.

Later, her father remarried and started a new family, and she always felt out of place at home.

Until I met Xiaodan and me.

At that time, I had just realized my mistakes, reformed myself, and started practicing diligently and living a positive life every day.

It was probably around that time that she rediscovered the feeling of home in my father and me.

So, we got together, it's that simple.

Upon hearing Xu Feng's story, Xiao Mu and Li Feng clapped simultaneously, saying, "We're so envious! So envious!" "Xu Gong is just as good, Miss Lu has such excellent taste."

Even Old Chen couldn't help but nod and say, "A genius female student falling in love with a forty-year-old single father with a child, amazing!"

Xu Feng: "Old Chen, are you tired? If you are, take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"I'm not tired, I still want to know—"

Old Chen shook his head energetically, then turned to ask another question.

Xu Feng leaned back against the carriage and said, "Okay, I'm tired. I'll take a nap. Wake me up when we get there."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Old Chen immediately pursed his lips, then leaned closer to Li Feng: "Captain Li, tell me about you and that Captain Sun—"

"Ahem, I'm a bit tired too, probably because I didn't rest well last night."

"I'm going to take a nap too, Xiao Mu, you keep an eye on things."

After saying that, Li Feng also went to sleep.

Xiao Mu drove in a daze for a while, then, sensing movement behind her, quickly said, "I need to concentrate on driving, Engineer Chen, you should take a break."

Old Chen sighed helplessly, "They're all martial artists, yet they have so little energy."

The car quickly fell silent.

soon.

The group then arrived at their destination.

An abandoned small communications station located only about 20 kilometers from Base Nine.

Of course, it's not entirely accurate to say it's abandoned.

There is now only a bunch of self-operating equipment here, and all the stationed personnel have been withdrawn to the base.

After all, the number of mutated creatures in the surrounding area had decreased significantly after the great battle.

There was no need for anyone to be stationed here; these machines could operate entirely on their own.

Upon arrival, the team parked all their vehicles at the communications station.

The car had just stopped when...

A flock of mutated birds suddenly took flight from the communications station, startling everyone.

However, the birds did not attack the people.

Li Feng and the others naturally wouldn't bother to provoke them in a cheeky way.

Afterwards, Xu Feng and Lao Chen each took a martial arts guard to two corners of the communications station to perform equipment maintenance.

The rest of the people stood guard on the roof.

But when Xu Feng saw the damaged equipment, he was immediately stunned: "Huh?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Xu?" Xiao Mu, who was helping him with his work, asked curiously.

Xu Feng waved his hand, subtly releasing his spiritual energy in all directions, but found nothing.

So he smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, it just feels like this thing wasn't accidentally damaged by a mutated creature, but rather like someone deliberately sabotaged it."

At this point, Xu Feng shook his head, wondering if he was overthinking things: "Xiao Mu, get me that number three board."

And that circuit integrity tester, yes, it's in that pocket.

However, Xiao Mu didn't pay any attention to what Xu Feng said.

Mutant creatures often intentionally or unintentionally damage these man-made facilities.

Who knows what those beasts were thinking?

"By the way, XCMG, don't you have mental powers? Can you control these tools from a distance?" Xiao Mu asked curiously.

Xu Feng said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I can, but there's no need. Otherwise, what would we need you for?"

Xiao Mu chuckled: "That's true."

It took Xu Feng about an hour to replace the old parts with new ones and complete the repair.

When he finished packing and returned to the meeting point at the entrance of the communications station with Xiao Mu, the other team was already waiting there.

"Old Chen, what's the situation on your end?"

Xu Feng was still somewhat uneasy about his discovery and asked with some puzzlement.

Old Chen dismissively retorted, "Hey, it's just that some mutated creature damaged the circuit board."

I don't know how they got into the equipment room, even though there was an alloy door blocking it and there was no food inside.

This is really baffling. Do these mutated creatures like to eat electrical wires?

However, Xu Feng and Xiao Mu exchanged a glance, and Xu Feng became wary.

If a facility was accidentally destroyed by a mutated creature, that would be understandable.

But is it the same in both places?
Xiao Mu quickly asked into the communicator, "Brother Chong, what's the situation around us?"

"Nothing's wrong," Wang Chong's voice came through the radio.

Team leader Li Feng then looked at Xu Feng: "Engineer Xu, what happened?"

“There’s something wrong,” Xu Feng told Li Feng about his discovery. “It looks like it was deliberately sabotaged.”

Just like Old Chen said, there's no food here, so why would those mutated creatures come here?
They even went to the trouble of breaking the alloy door and then destroying the equipment?
This doesn't make sense; it's like they're deliberately trying to lure us in for repairs."

ambush?

Everyone immediately tensed up.

Sure enough, at that moment...

Wang Chong suddenly shouted in alarm: "Warning! Warning! A small-scale beast tide has appeared 1.5 kilometers away! There are hundreds of them!"

"Captain, the leader is... damn! It's the Crimson Flame Tiger King!!"

"Crimson Tiger King?!" Li Feng's expression changed drastically. "Chen Kai!! Sniper rifles ready! Quickly!!!"

Upon hearing this, even Xu Feng's expression changed.

Crimson Tiger King?

It is said that the adult mutated Crimson Flame Tiger possesses the strength of a low-level beast general.

How strong must this tiger king be?

A mid-level beast general?!
