Super Soldier in the City

So Li Yifei immediately decided to call for a plane to escort him over, yes, a plane, not a helicopter. Compared to helicopters, planes are faster and can arrive quickly, whereas helicopters are slower.

"How are you guys doing?" Li Yifei asked.

Zheng Mingrui said, "We’re holding on, damn it, but someone is injured and needs support. Boss, you need to come quickly, they’ve gone rogue!"

"Who are they?" Li Yifei asked urgently, but instinctively guessed it was the Flying Hawk Squad. Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted on Zheng Mingrui’s end, and the call was abruptly cut off. Listening to the beep of the phone, Li Yifei was in a panic. He grabbed his backpack while quickly heading out, searching rapidly for a nearby military airport to contact.

Due to the Phantom Squad’s unique identity, Li Yifei had the authority to deploy helicopters, even armed ones. However, deploying transport planes required reporting and approval. But time was money at this moment, and Li Yifei couldn’t afford to wait for leadership approval. He ran directly to a military airport, showed his ID to the responsible personnel, and demanded they immediately dispatch a transport plane to fly him to the designated location. As long as he was transported overhead, he would parachute down.

"Golden Eagle, you’re putting me in a hard spot!" The speaker was a major general, the highest-ranking officer at this base, already fifty years old. He had met Li Yifei years ago, making them somewhat acquainted, which was why he said this.

"It’s not about making things difficult for you. Something has happened, and I have to get there immediately, or my team will be in danger!" Li Yifei said.

"Alright, but you must complete the follow-up paperwork. Don’t disappear afterward, or I’ll be in trouble!" The other party stomped his foot and decided.

"Thanks, I owe you one. I’ll repay the favor when I get a chance." Li Yifei patted the other’s shoulder, climbed into the transport vehicle with his backpack, and the officer frowned and sighed, leading Li Yifei to the airport runway.

The plane sprinted for takeoff, with Li Yifei sitting aboard, accompanied by the officer who was worried. Watching the frowning Li Yifei across from him, he tested the waters by asking, "What happened? Why are you in such a rush?"

"I’m not exactly sure, my team is calling for help, and I heard gunfire and explosions."

"What?" Initially hearing the beginning, the major general wanted to curse, but upon hearing gunfire and explosions, his expression changed. Such sounds shouldn’t exist domestically outside drills and training. Seeing Li Yifei’s serious demeanor, he said, "What’s going on? I remember you’re retired. Are your team members... still in active service?"

"I’m retired, they’re retired too, but recently investigating a case. Old Xiao, don’t probe into this matter, knowing too much will be troublesome for you. Just drop me off and return, I’ll explain to the leadership later." Li Yifei didn’t want to say more.

The major general nodded, saying, "Alright, I won’t ask further, but don’t worry too much. This is within our borders, even if you’re retired, you’re all elites and know your limits. Nothing will happen."

"Hopefully nothing happens, otherwise..." Li Yifei’s face turned stern, and he closed his eyes. The transport plane accelerated to its maximum speed, heading directly to the Flying Hawk Squad’s training base at Death Sea. Within an hour, the plane reached the vicinity, even receiving signals from the base below.

Li Yifei hoisted the parachute onto his back, stood at the cabin door, and the officer named Xiao walked over, patted Li Yifei’s shoulder, and said, "Be careful. Contact me immediately if you need help."

"Okay." Li Yifei nodded, the cabin door opened, revealing the vast sand sea and faint cloud layers below. At six thousand meters altitude, Li Yifei jumped without any protective measures.

The wind roared past his ears, yet it didn’t impact Li Yifei much. To maximize speed, he didn’t open the parachute at around five hundred meters altitude, even descending rapidly to three hundred meters, still without deploying the chute. He carried a military parachute, with previous cases of deploying at two hundred meters for a safe landing. Opening the chute results in fast descent and easy targeting, so if it were water below, Li Yifei might crash directly. Now, he chose less than two hundred meters, diving headfirst, feeling close to the ground, he only then pulled the parachute cord. This distance is extremely dangerous, possibly failing to open the chute, leading to death. Even though Li Yifei is an Innate Expert, he sure can’t survive a fall from thousands of meters.

Especially during such high-speed descents, visual judgment can be impaired, a misjudgment leading to excessive altitude loss, making the chute deployment too late. As Li Yifei... the chute suddenly popped open, completing the deployment smoothly, tightening around him, pulling him sharply. But the rapid downward speed immediately halted, successfully finished, Li Yifei released his fists, moments later landing on the ground.

He didn’t directly jump onto the Flying Hawk Squad’s base, though quicker, but... the training base of Flying Hawk Squad is no ordinary base. It not only trains Flying Hawk Squad members but is a test base, involving missile interception. If he jumped directly, he might be shot mid-air as an intruder.

Li Yifei wouldn’t underestimate Flying Hawk Squad’s response speed. Even during peacetime, when not on missions, they’re on full alert twenty-four hours. This is written in the military protocol handbook, even if intruders are nearly impossible. But still, the requirement stands.

Thus... Zheng Mingrui’s group coming here, Li Yifei immediately sensed trouble.

Li Yifei cut open the parachute, cleaned the area, identified directions, and sprinted forward. It was daytime, desert temperatures extremely high, ground temperatures reaching seventy degrees or more, all sand. Li Yifei appeared to glide over the ground, rapidly advancing, each step spanning over ten meters, leaving behind only the sounds of wind hiss, swish!

The Flying Hawk Squad camp was two kilometers away, visible to Li Yifei; he also smelled a faint trace of gunpowder in the air. Though faint, it wasn’t indicative as gunfire and artillery would emit dense smoke. Li Yifei knew he was entering surveillance range but stayed unwavering, accelerating for the two-kilometer distance, taking little time at full speed.

Right now, inside Flying Hawk Squad’s base, within the familiar barracks once known to Li Yifei, all his team members were bound like dumplings, over twenty guns trained at them, all armed to the teeth. Zheng Mingrui and others were stripped of their clothes, kneeling on the ground, forbidden to move. Any slight movement would result in a brutal beating.

Such posture, such treatment, is extremely humiliating, sparking boundless rage. The Flying Hawk Squad members, each proud and exceptional, people among the elite, now retired yet treated like this... their hearts filled with fury.

Seven people in total, one missing, his life unknown. The rest had been chased, while the remaining subjected to beatings without explanation.

Zheng Mingrui and Dumb Guy were fiery-tempered individuals but forced to endure. Zhang Tianxing repeatedly advised restraint. Don’t be impulsive, the boss was on his way to defend them.

Frustration! Humiliation! These were the feelings residing in the hearts of the seven team members.

Surrounded by active Flying Hawk Squad members, their expressions coldly indifferent. During previous engagements, they admittedly weren’t as skilled as Zheng Mingrui’s group. But with guns, various weapons, and vehicles, even under such circumstances, Zheng Mingrui’s group managed to snatch several weapons and two armored cars, capturing over a dozen individuals, proving their competence. Of course, eventually, the Flying Hawk Squad used anti-tank weapons, which armored cars couldn’t withstand, forcing them to abandon vehicles, exposing themselves. Consequently, the opposition fired indiscriminately.

Especially since two brothers were already shot, fortunately not in critical areas but needed immediate medical attention, or troubles ensue. Yet, in these circumstances, the opposers wouldn’t send them for medical aid.

Before them stood a tall, sturdy figure in a tactical vest, with a holstered pistol, a knife tucked at the leg. This knife was just buried in Zheng Mingrui’s thigh, pulled out, and thrust again...

This person, known as Violent Wolf, is a deputy captain of the Flying Hawk Squad. Yes, the current Flying Hawk Squad has three deputy captains, of which Violent Wolf is one. His physique, rugged face with a conspicuous scar, portrays him as a brutal character.

After capturing the seven, Violent Wolf acted first, assaulting them, then loomed over them, pacing several rounds. He checked his watch impatiently, seemingly irked at the slow catch-up pace. Violent Wolf sneered, "Rushing a military base, seizing weapons and armored vehicles, huh, quite something! What, planning a rebellion?"

These last three words were shouted, and finished by a sudden charge, his booted foot striking Dumb Guy’s chin. Dumb Guy’s bound body could only lean as far back as possible, yet was still hit, sent flying with blood spraying from his mouth. This kick was heavy, Violent Wolf renowned for his strength, resilience in the Flying Hawk Squad, especially hitting such a fragile spot.

The chin was particularly vulnerable, Dumb Guy immediately kicked backward, prompting Zheng Mingrui and others to shout, "Dumb Guy!"
