Chapter 1077: Fear of Death Is a Virtue
The Changfeng Squad all volunteered eagerly, a clamor of voices.
Yang Fei waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Yang Fei let out a long sigh.
"This mission is extremely dangerous. Among the opponents, there's a particularly formidable expert hidden."
"That person's martial arts realm has even surpassed Gang Strength Super God. When it comes to the skill of a quick getaway, if I say I'm second, no one would dare claim first, right?"
The atmosphere grew a bit heavy, but Yang Fei's words drew laughter from the group of ruffians.
"Exactly, exactly, the Chief Instructor's escape skills are world-renowned!"
"Last time on Dragon Island, I witnessed his escape skills firsthand. To escape unscathed from Poseidon's hand, that's something no one else has managed."
"You guys don't know anything. On a real battlefield, survival is victory!"
...
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Yang Fei was feeling smug and grinning widely.
"So, this mission is meant for me and no one else."
"I've mastered the art of advancing or retreating. If worst comes to worst, I still have fleet feet for a getaway."
"On the battlefield, fearing death is a virtue, understand?"
Yang Fei's peculiar theory made everyone laugh heartily.
Yan Wuxin shook his head with a smile.
"Chief Instructor, I wouldn't dare promote these insights of yours."
"If the Night Army adopted your way of thinking, there'd be no way to fight wars."
Yang Fei spat.
"A competent military commander must first teach soldiers to survive on harsh battlefields, preserve living forces, and maximize the blow against the enemy."
"Only a true veteran can grasp the essence of what I'm saying."
Everyone laughed and cursed, but no one argued with Yang Fei.
After all, among several unrivaled experts, Yang Fei was the most suitable candidate for this mission.
Unmatched in sniping, unmatched in stealth, unmatched in escapes, unmatched in reconnaissance.
When it comes to battlefield survival skills, even An Zichen and Xue Mingtai are no match for Yang Fei.
Only Xiao Xuanya worried about Yang Fei's safety, but she couldn't stop him, her concerns were futile.
Twenty nautical miles west of Dragon Island, there is a cluster of reefs forming an island, slightly larger in scale than Dragon Island.
This island used to be an undeniable pirate lair. Later, it was wiped clean by An Zichen with just a sword, leaving the island desolate.
The island has never had an official name. Due to the pirates occupying it for years, people from Dragon Island habitually call it Pirate Island.
The terrain and environment of Pirate Island are similar to Dragon Island, formed by coral reefs.
Covered with lush vegetation and tropical jungle, the island has no harbors, just chaotic reefs everywhere.
Now, this island has become the main base for the demon army's assault on Dragon Island, with fortifications and coastal defenses, and sentry posts everywhere.
At midnight, taking advantage of the night, Yang Fei sailed a small dinghy towards Pirate Island.
About two or three nautical miles away from Pirate Island, Yang Fei punctured the dinghy, letting it sink to the sea floor to eliminate traces.
Then, he dove into the sea and swam toward Pirate Island.
Yang Fei's combat pack was very simply equipped.
He only carried an alloy dagger, a heavy sniper rifle, a basic medical kit, and an electronic terminal capable of transmitting files.
This electronic terminal was a high-tech product crafted by Mi Xuan for Yang Fei.
Utilizing his powerful hacking skills, Yang Fei could use this electronic terminal to infiltrate a nation's spy satellite and receive satellite signals.
Then, using the electronic terminal as a core to disseminate signals, it ensured the Changfeng Squad's communications remained uninterrupted.
Yang Fei swam to the shore and discovered the enemy's sentry post.
He hid among the piles of rocks, quietly observing like a lone wolf.
This was an open beach, and two fortress-like bunkers were strategically set high up on the beach.
From within the bunkers, protruded the dark barrels of Big Viper machine guns.
These heavy machine guns could unleash over five thousand rounds per minute, packing a powerful punch.
Any enemy appearing in this area stood no chance against the wild barrage of these ultimate weapons.
Distant tall reefs had glaring searchlights sweeping across the sea surface alternately.
Yang Fei hid behind a rock.
He patiently waited for the searchlight to sweep past above his head, then gently rolled forward, approaching the sentries through the chaotic reefs.
Yang Fei simultaneously activated Snake Stupefaction and Tortoise Mirror, two supreme martial arts heart methods, instantly sharpening his divine sense immensely.
All the visible and hidden sentries couldn't escape Yang Fei's eyes.
He moved stealthily, bypassing the visible and hidden sentries on the beach, entering a tropical jungle.
Yang Fei knew that his military backpack was too conspicuous.
Shortly after entering the jungle, he unloaded it and hid it at the top of a tall banyan tree.
The dense branches and leaves concealed the backpack so thoroughly that unless someone searched deliberately, it would remain undiscovered.
Yang Fei only carried the electronic terminal and a dagger, having marked the spot, he silently moved forward.
After only a few steps, a patrol squad approached from the front.
Five soldiers wearing curved masks marched in neat formation, their steps silent and demeanor fierce.
Yang Fei noiselessly climbed a tropical banyan tree.
The banyan's long branches spread horizontally, and he compressed his body on one of them.
Yang Fei focused his mind, observing that the five-man squad was all dressed in camouflage suits. Shiny brass sea monster badges adorned their chests.
Yang Fei suddenly realized that this armed force attacking Dragon Island was actually the demon army under the command of the Demon Emperor.
The Changfeng Squad had skirmished with the Blood Demon Squad as soon as they landed.
However, to denote identity and rank, the Blood Demon Squad's badges had the sea monster emblem transformed into a vampire sea monster.
Thus, Yang Fei didn't realize until now.
"Damn it, so it's Zhong Xiang and Chen Xingzhu causing chaos. The woman who injured Ye must be Chen Xingzhu, possessing the Heavenly Lucky Body!"
The demon army was originally the secret unit of the Demon Emperor.
Hades could never counter Chen Xingzhu and Zhong Xiang.
Therefore, Chen Xingzhu easily acquired control over the demon army.
In a moment, Yang Fei unraveled the entire sequence of events clearly.
The thought of Chen Xingzhu's prowess in the Lower Spirit Martial Realm made Yang Fei's scalp tingle.
With his own realm, he couldn't handle this troublesome woman.
Moreover, there was also King Wuxiang Zhong Xiang and his four great Danjin experts.
The opponent's overwhelming strength was comparable to the Changfeng Squad's; with Chen Xingzhu alone, she was virtually unbeatable.
As Yang Fei contemplated these thoughts, the five-man squad had already walked past beneath the tree.
Yang Fei, hidden on the horizontal banyan branch, suddenly performed an inverted Golden Hook, silently extending downward.
He seized the last soldier by the throat, lifting him into the air.
The soldier, suddenly ambushed, widened his eyes and kicked his legs wildly.
However, with Yang Fei's grip on his throat, he couldn't make a sound no matter what.
The suffocating pain soon cost him his life.
Yang Fei, after ensuring he was completely dead, pulled him up into the banyan tree and concealed his body there.
A minute later, Yang Fei donned the soldier's uniform and equipment, wore his mask, covering half of his face.
Then, he slipped down from the tree and casually walked forward.
