Chapter 493: Burning the Mountain!
Chapter 493: Burning the Mountain!
Similar battle reports also appeared promptly on Leng Hui’s desk every day. Looking at the continuously changing data in front of him, Leng Hui was deeply moved. He had always known about Lin Feng’s remarkable skills, but he had not expected him to be so abnormal. Leading just nine men, Lin Feng dared to raid the Golden Triangle alone and even push Ruan Tiansheng to this extent. The most exaggerated part was that they had taken down over two thousand men without firing a single bullet. Had he known this earlier, he would have insisted on Lin Feng creating a manual of some sort to distribute throughout the army. The boost in combat effectiveness would be unimaginable!
Indeed, really not bad, very promising!
Leng Hui felt that Lin Feng was like a treasure chest, always able to surprise everyone with something new. He estimated that this event would not only cause utter embarrassment among the military leaders but would also send chills down the spines of the restless individuals from other countries. Ten men had achieved such a feat; what if there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...
Now, Leng Hui was growing more and more fond of this young man, Lin Feng, and increasingly felt that only someone like him deserved to be with his granddaughter Leng Mei. If he were to become his grandson-in-law, it would be his good fortune indeed—and the military’s too!
And just as Leng Hui thought, the events that happened in the Golden Triangle were almost simultaneously known by defense department heads around the world. Looking at the chilling intelligence in front of them, each of these leaders’ heads buzzed with noise because the data detailed there was just too shocking!
The combat power of the narcotraffickers in the Golden Triangle was well-known worldwide, as all their men had accumulated experience from actual combat. Ruan Tiansheng’s troops, in particular, were extremely elite, equipped with the most advanced weaponry. Yet such formidable troops were effectively immobilized in the jungle by ten soldiers from Country Z, who killed over two thousand people without firing a shot. The thought of such an accomplishment was truly terrifying!
It seemed that Country Z’s military still had much untapped potential. Just 5% of their soldiers being like that would become the nightmare of everyone. The original plans would have to be indefinitely postponed. They had to clarify just how many such soldiers there were before making any moves, or they’d surely suffer irreversible consequences!
Thinking this, the defense departments of various countries began to hold meetings to discuss the current battle reports, each activating their respective intelligence systems to find out the truth about the incident...
...
"Miss, there’s intelligence from Lin Feng," Shen Fu said excitedly as he ran up to Shen Yao with the documents in hand. It took considerable effort to get the mercenary teams to send back this information. Even Shen Fu was astonished by what he read. It seemed the son-in-law Shen Yao had chosen was absolutely right. Given what Lin Feng had accomplished in the Golden Triangle, it would leave everyone speechless with amazement.
"Uncle Fu, what’s the news? Tell me quickly." Shen Yao had been living in agony these past few days, waiting for news about Lin Feng every day. The one billion bounty she posted failed to entice the assassins and mercenaries, leaving her worried sick about Lin Feng, almost to the point of insomnia. She barely had an appetite, focused only on waiting for news about Lin Feng. Now hearing from Uncle Fu that there was news, how could Shen Yao not be overjoyed?
"The mercenaries report that a team of soldiers from Country Z has killed over two thousand of Ruan Tiansheng’s men in the past several days, and what’s more astounding is that not a single bullet was wasted, and no one was injured. The mercenaries who witnessed this were almost driven mad. They kept pursuing those soldiers, wanting to learn from them how to set up those traps and mechanisms. At last, they managed to speak with the soldiers. Although their request wasn’t granted, they found out that these men were led by an Instructor Lin on a mission to assassinate Ruan Tiansheng. If the guess is right, that Instructor Lin is Lin Feng!"
Shen Fu quickly relayed the situation to Shen Yao. Truthfully, even he was taken aback by these reports. It had never crossed his mind that Lin Feng could be so extreme, leading just ten men to kill more than two thousand people in a couple of weeks without firing a shot. Such combat achievements were spine-chilling. To take so many lives in the notorious Golden Triangle without blinking an eye... he was too formidable, and it was almost too exaggerated!
"Oh! Really? That’s fantastic—it must be him!" Shen Yao immediately lit up with happiness upon hearing Shen Fu’s words. She had not expected Lin Feng to be so formidable. She regretted worrying about him for so long. Knowing from Shen Fu that Lin Feng hadn’t been injured, she finally relaxed. No longer did she need to worry about Lin Feng. At this thought, Shen Yao, who had been frowning for days, finally showed a smile.
Now, Shen Yao was beyond excited. She could never have anticipated such an enormous surprise from Lin Feng. He had managed to kill so many drug traffickers in the Golden Triangle with just nine men. It seemed she no longer needed to worry for Lin Feng. As long as he killed Ruan Tiansheng, he’d be back soon, and then he would be out of danger completely.
With this in mind, Shen Yao made a decision to herself. Once Lin Feng returned, she would have to visit him in Tianhai. She was really, really missing Lin Feng...
...
"**** it, these freaks! They’ve killed so many of my men. I’ll make them pay with their blood!" Ruan Tiansheng was now completely driven to madness by these elusive soldiers. Several days had passed, and not only had he failed to successfully hunt them down, but he had lost over two thousand soldiers. How could this not incite a furious outburst from Ruan Tiansheng!
Ruan Tiansheng had completely lost his reason in fury by now; all he wanted was to kill these damned soldiers at any cost, but he couldn’t catch up with them nor could he hit them, so what could he do to kill them?
After much thought, Ruan Tiansheng finally came up with a plan. These people were just dragging things out in the jungle, so why not burn the whole forest down? Then let’s see where they could hide. Given that all the powers were eyeing him like tigers, he, barefoot, wasn’t afraid of those wearing shoes. He would kill these people no matter what.
"All of you ***** listen up, get me gasoline and everything flammable, I’m gonna ***** burn this forest down and see where they can flee to!" Ruan Tiansheng began to order the burning of the forest, which was also the best solution at the moment. Although burning the forest would leave nothing behind, Ruan Tiansheng could no longer care about that—hatred had clouded his judgment, and all he wanted now was for Lin Feng to die!
"General, we can’t do this!"
"General!"
"We can’t burn it down!"
...
When Ruan Tiansheng’s men heard his order to burn the forest, they panicked. They hadn’t expected Ruan Tiansheng to resort to burning the forest. If the woods were destroyed, they would be completely exposed to everyone’s view. Without this natural barrier, their territory would be utterly ruined, and the forest must not be burned at any cost...
"Enough ***** chit-chat, just do it. Do you really think we can hold onto this land? Don’t you see what the situation is like? If those people outside join in, we won’t even have food. Moreover, other powers around us are coveting our territory, ready to pounce at any moment. The only choice we have now is to burn the forest, kill those people, and then all move together to open up another place. Since we can’t hold onto this land, we can’t let anyone else have it either!"
Ruan Tiansheng roared, grieving the loss of the land he had lived on for decades, but faced with the current situation, if he wanted to leave alive, there was no other choice but to burn the forest and move everyone out.
The more Ruan Tiansheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn’t understand why the situation, which had been fine, had suddenly turned into this disaster. The territory that had been managed since his father’s time was gone just like that. What the ***** was going on? If he ever found out who was behind all of this, he’d skin them alive, pull out their tendons, and never let their spirit rest, even as a ghost!
To this day, Ruan Tiansheng had no idea who had struck at him. In his wildest dreams, he never guessed it would be because his son, Ruan Jun, had angered Lin Feng, bringing a catastrophic disaster upon the Golden Triangle!
"Yes, General..."
As the men heard Ruan Tiansheng’s words, they knew he was right. Everyone was well aware of the situation around them. Based on the current circumstances, indeed, this seemed to be the only way out. On the one hand, over two thousand lives had already been lost, and they couldn’t keep losing more. Most importantly, after more than ten days, their food reserves wouldn’t last much longer. The only way forward was to make a desperate move: burn the forest. Either kill those people in the fire or force them out and kill them. There was no other option.
Reluctantly shaking their heads, the men went out to prepare for the fire as per the General’s command. Although they were reluctant to leave this land, the current situation left them with no choice but to do it...
...
Ten days of continuous fighting had brought a qualitative leap in skill for the members of the vanguard team. They learned so many practical combat experiences from Lin Feng, skills that were previously unimaginable. The excitement in everyone’s hearts was indescribable as they watched the leading Lin Feng, knowing their combat tech had seen a massive improvement. To learn such skills in just over ten days felt like a dream.
After ten days of interaction, everyone was no longer shocked by Lin Feng like they were at the beginning, because they had grown accustomed to the fact that there was nothing that Lin Feng could not do, nothing he could not think of. They would carry out any word from Lin Feng unconditionally, knowing full well that Lin Feng had spent more than ten days in the jungle to train them. Otherwise, with Lin Feng’s almost supernatural agility, which surpassed ordinary understanding, he could have killed Ruan Tiansheng and left a long time ago.
