Brother, just how powerful is our family?

Qin Feng looked at the watch. It was a holographic watch made at the base. It looked like an ordinary mechanical watch, but it could actually display global time, monitor vital signs, and even be used as an emergency communication and positioning device.

6:45. Fifteen minutes to go.

"I'll go pick them up at the airport," Qin Feng suddenly said.

Qin Weidong turned his head, a hint of hesitation appearing in his voice for the first time: "Commander, according to the security protocol, you should wait in the car while the guards escort the four ladies to the vehicle."

"That's my sister, I haven't seen her for two years. I want to be the first one I see at the exit."

"But..."

"Just increase vigilance. I trust your abilities and my judgment," Qin Feng said, already pushing open the car door.

The thirty-six guards immediately adjusted their formation, with six following closely behind Qin Feng to form a tight protective circle; the remaining thirty were scattered around, their guns pointed downwards but their fingers on the trigger guards, ready to engage in combat at any moment.

Qin Feng straightened his clothes and walked towards the VIP entrance.

His steps were steady and composed, as if he were not walking through a potentially dangerous airport in the African continent.

But in reality, his perception had been extended to the extreme.

After being enhanced three times with gene optimization fluid, Qin Feng's five senses reached the limits of human capabilities.

He can hear the sound of an ant crawling a hundred meters away, see every number on a license plate five hundred meters away, and sense the location and movements of everyone around him through air currents.

More importantly, his brain's computational ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

At this moment, Qin Feng's mind was simultaneously processing multiple pieces of information: the positions and status of the guards, the movements of airport staff, the emotional reactions of the onlookers in the distance, and even the real-time footage transmitted by the patrol formations in the sky...

This ability is one of the side effects of the gene optimization fluid, or rather, an extra gift.

Qin Feng remembered the pain he felt the first time he used the optimization fluid. It felt as if all the cells in his body were being dismantled and reassembled, and the excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow lasted for three whole days.

But after the pain comes a transformative change: strength, speed, reaction time, endurance, recovery ability... all physical indicators reach more than ten times that of humans.

The second optimization brought about a qualitative change in his brain, with his learning and information processing abilities increasing exponentially.

Now he can master a new language in ten minutes and read and understand a professional book in an hour.

The third optimization... Qin Feng has not yet fully tested the limits.

According to the system's knowledge base, a complete gene optimization should be performed nine times, each time unlocking new potential.

However, given the current environment and resources on Earth, completing it three times would be the limit.

Further optimization requires special energy environments and rare materials, which are not yet available.

Even so, Qin Feng's current physical condition can already be described as "superhuman".

Ordinary firearms are almost ineffective against him; his skin is tough enough to withstand the cuts of a dagger, his muscle density allows bullets to get stuck after penetrating his skin, and his bones are three times stronger than titanium alloy.

What's even more terrifying is its recovery ability; a deep wound that exposes the bone can heal completely within ten minutes without leaving a scar.

Therefore, Qin Feng is not actually "afraid of death," at least not afraid of assassination by conventional means.

He feared that his family's safety would be threatened, and that everything he had built would be destroyed due to negligence.

Especially today, my sister and her friends are coming.

Four young girls, without any training, may see Africa as just an adventurous destination, unaware that in some corners of this continent, danger is real and deadly.

"Commander, the flight has begun its descent," Qin Weidong's voice came through the miniature communicator in his ear.

Qin Feng looked up and saw an A330 passenger plane with the China Eastern Airlines logo slowly descending.

His heart skipped a beat. Two years had passed; he was finally going to see his sister.

The little girl who used to follow him around calling him "brother" is now a college student and has even started her own live stream.

time flies.

"Attention all units, target flight has landed, enter maximum alert status." Qin Feng issued the order via communicator. "Air formation, descend to 1,000 meters and activate full spectrum scanning. Ground forces, increase patrols along the route, all checkpoints enter combat readiness status. I will not allow any accidents, repeat, I will not allow any accidents."

"Air formation received."

"Ground command center received."

"Checkpoint network received."

A series of confirmation replies rang out in the communication channel.

Qin Feng could sense that a security zone with a radius of 500 kilometers had been established, centered on the airport.

Within this region, any hostile actions will be nipped in the bud.

This is not an overreaction, but a necessary measure.

Qin Feng knew very well that his actions in Africa over the past two years could not be completely kept secret from everyone.

Although he did not directly clash with major powers, he controlled vast territories and established a massive base, signs of which could not be completely concealed.

It was only because the continent was too large and too chaotic, and the intelligence agencies of various countries had limited resources there, that he had the opportunity to develop quietly.

But things are different now. The arrival of the younger sister means that "Universal Group" will gradually come into the public eye.

When four Chinese girls livestream from Africa, showcasing luxurious estates, private armies, and advanced facilities... these images will spread across the world via the internet. It will be impossible for them to avoid attracting attention.

Therefore, Qin Feng must demonstrate his strength, but not through war, but through this silent deterrence.

This would show potential adversaries that they are not facing an ordinary private armed group, but a mysterious organization with national-level military power.

"The plane has come to a stop, and the jet bridge is being connected," Qin Weidong continued to report.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and adjusted his expression. In front of his sister, he couldn't be the "commander" who controlled a vast force; he should be an ordinary older brother, a young man struggling in the Black Continent.

"Qin Weidong, have the convoy get ready. We'll set off as soon as we pick up the people."

"Understood. All vehicles have started, the route has been planned, and the estimated travel time is four hours and twenty minutes."

Four hours and twenty minutes, 470 kilometers.

This speed is already quite fast for road conditions in Africa.

"They're out," Qin Weidong said.

Qin Yao walked at the front, wearing a light blue sun-protective shirt, a sun hat, and carrying a large backpack.

Two years have passed. She has grown taller and more mature, but the liveliness and curiosity in her eyes remain unchanged.

Following behind her were three girls, who must have been her roommates.

One has short, neat hair; another has long, gentle hair; and the third has pigtails, making her look lively and cute.

The four girls looked around at the African airport with excitement and curiosity.

Then, they saw Qin Feng, and the impressive guard behind him.

Qin Yao stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide with surprise.

The three girls behind her were also stunned, mouths agape, at a loss for what to do.

Qin Feng stepped forward with a smile and opened his arms: "Yao Yao, welcome to Africa."

Qin Yao then realized what was happening, dropped her luggage, rushed over, and buried her face in Qin Feng's arms: "Brother!"

The brother and sister, who hadn't seen each other for two years, embraced tightly. Qin Feng could feel his sister's body trembling slightly; he couldn't tell if it was from excitement or nervousness.

"Brother, are these all... your men?" Qin Yao loosened her arms, pointing at the fully armed guards, her voice filled with disbelief.

Qin Feng smiled and ruffled her hair. "Let me introduce you. I run a security company in Africa, and these are all my employees. Okay, that's enough for now. Let's get in the car; we still have a long way to go."

He turned to the other three girls and said gently, "You must be Yao Yao's roommates? Welcome to Africa. I'm Qin Feng, Yao Yao's brother. You must have had a long journey."

The three girls then snapped out of their shock and quickly greeted each other.

"Just hand the luggage over to them." Qin Feng gestured for the guards to come forward and help. "Let's get in the car first; this isn't the place to talk."

Qin Yao wanted to ask something more, but seeing her brother's gaze, she swallowed her words. She pulled her roommates along, and guided by the guards, they walked towards the convoy.

Qin Feng followed behind, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the airport.

His senses told him that there were at least thirty-seven hidden observation points around, including curious travelers, airport staff, and possibly intelligence spies.

"Let them see," Qin Feng thought to himself.

Let them see this heavily armed convoy, these well-trained guards, and my strength in Africa.

Sometimes, demonstrating strength is the best defense.
