“What do you mean?” Su Zhixing asked .

“If I said I could dodge the bullets, would you believe me?” Wang Yao calmly responded .
Su Zhixing was dumbfounded . It took him a long time to react . “Can you dodge bullets?”
“Yes, let us test it,” Wang Yao replied .
He had not tested it before . Based on feelings he had during his cultivation, combined with his exceptional observation abilities, he believed that he would be able to feel the rapidly approaching bullets and dodge them . He might even be able to catch them with his hands .
“Stop joking around,” Su Zhixing said .
Honestly, he was tempted and wanted to try it . After careful consideration, he could not take the risk .
“Well, don’t you have a bulletproof vest?” Wang Yao asked . “I could put it on just in case . ”
“Even with that, when the bullets hit you, it will still hurt a lot,” Su Zhixing said .
“Are you not confident in your shooting skills?” Wang Yao asked .
“Don’t agitate me any further,” Su Zhixing said with a wave of his hand . “This experiment is too dangerous . I will not agree to do it . ”
Wang Yao tried to persuade him again, but he was rejected once again .
“If Xiaoxue were to know that I had shot you with a gun, she would kill me,” Su Zhixing said .
“If both you and I stayed silent, how would Xiaoxue possibly know?” Wang Yao asked .
The two were talking when Mu Chengzhou walked over . He was also stunned when he heard about Wang Yao’s request .
“Well, Dr . Wang, that experiment is too dangerous . ” After thinking for a moment, he said, “How about this, I will agree to you taking part in our operation . Once any abnormality is discovered, you will immediately withdraw . ”
“OK, no problem,” Wang Yao said .
“Boss?” Su Zhixing anxiously asked .
“If you feel that we are not their match, immediately retreat,” Mu Chengzhou said . “I have just received a notice from the higher-ups . A special team has already arrived in southern Yunnan . ”
“A special team?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Yes, there might be some people with strange powers on the team,” Mu Chengzhou said . “If our sniper teams meet with any obstacles, they will intervene . ”
“That is good,” Su Zhixing said .

“Dr . Wang, you can’t wear what you have on,” Mu Chengzhou said . “It would be too conspicuous in the jungle . To put it in an ugly way, you will become a live target . You have to change your clothes . ”
“No problem,” Wang Yao said .
He was given a camouflage uniform . Since he was not a soldier, he had not been equipped with any standard combat weapons, but he did not need them . He still asked for a pistol and dagger .
After preparing, they set off and flew to their destination in military helicopters . In southern Yunnan, there were large patches of forests, which were extremely lush and dense . A considerable part of the area was inaccessible, and there were various creatures in the forest, including some species that were dangerous to human beings .
Before leaving, Su Zhixing, who was leading the team, reconfirmed the tasks and precautions . He had originally not been the team leader, but he had been determined to come . He wanted to avenge the comrades who had died and protect his future brother-in-law .
The team had high-tech equipment and satellite positioning . The soldier in charge of communication and positioning said, “We are close . They might be nearby . ”
“How far is it?” Su Zhixing asked .
“It is a 9 . 3-mile journey,” the soldier replied .
“Let’s go,” Su Zhixing said . “Everyone stay alert . ”
The forest was not quiet . There were constant chirping sounds from birds and insects .
Wang Yao was walking in the middle . He was the key protected subject, but he did not notice that he was being protected . He kept looking around, observing the trees, flowers, and plants . Everywhere his eyes passed, his mind came up with their names, growth characteristics, and whether they had any medicinal values .
That is Amomum, cinnamon, cardamom…
The soldier who was clearing the way in front suddenly made a gesture . The whole team stopped moving forward .
“What is the matter?” Su Zhixing asked .
The soldier pointed to the front . There was a dead deer with no head . The cut was clean .
“I will go and check it out,” one of the soldiers said . He went forward, checked carefully, and came back . “It just died not long ago . Its head was cut off . The wound is very flat and clean . It was likely caused by a blade . ”
“Stand by . Be prepared to engage in battle anytime,” Su Zhixing ordered .
The troops immediately spread out in their battle formation . Two soldiers were especially left to protect Wang Yao .
Somewhere in the jungle, there was a fully armed team of six .
“Huh?” A man began looking around .
“What is the matter?” his comrade asked .

“We have friends coming,” the man said .
“Are they old friends?” his comrade asked .
“Based on their speed, it should be them,” the man said . “Let’s leave some surprises for them . ”
In the jungle, Su Zhixing was leading the team . The sky was turning dark . Some kind of insect was chirping . He suddenly said, “Stop . ”
The team stopped . There were several plastic bags in front of them . They seemed to be some kind of packages .
“I will go and check it out,” a soldier said .
“Be careful,” Su Zhixing said .
The soldier carefully approached the packages . He stopped about six feet away and observed them before withdrawing .
“They could not have gone far,” the soldier said . “The number of people is around four or five . ”
“Since it is such an obvious trace, could it be intentional?” Su Zhixing calmly asked . “Prepare the drone . ”
The drone was sent up into the sky . It only gave out a very slight sound while flying up . The ground images captured from the low altitude were fed back to the mini display of the soldier controlling it below . The images were very clear .
“It is safe around here,” he said . “There are signs of people passing by . ”
As the troops continued to advance, they soon found traces of weeds that had been crushed as someone passed by . There were also footprints on the ground .
After careful observation, a soldier said, “There should be five of them . ”
“Keep pursuing them,” Su Zhixing said .
After a while, the jungle became denser . In such terrain, the use of a remote-controlled drone was more difficult, so it was put away .
“Pay attention . ” Su Zhixing made a gesture to remind everyone .
The more they ventured into such terrain, the more chances that there were ambushes and traps .
Wang Yao suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him .
“What is the matter?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Nothing,” Wang Yao said . “I just heard something . ”

He glanced through the vast jungle .
“Keep on going,” Su Zhixing said . “The plants here have traces of being cut down and slashed . The traces are fresh . ”
A gentle breeze blew past .
Thump! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several arrows came flying toward them from nowhere . With a bang, the arrows were forced to change direction in mid-air . They flew to into a tree trunk .
The soldiers heaved a sigh of relief . That kind of hidden weapon was silent and the most difficult to defend against . They moved their gaze toward Wang Yao . He was the one who had made a fist in the air . With a bang, all the arrows flying in the air had suddenly changed their direction and buried themselves into the trees beside them .
“What kind of kung fu is that?” Meng Wushuang asked .
“Pokong Punch,” Wang Yao replied .
“Is anyone hurt?” Su Zhixing asked in a low voice .
“Keep going and watch your step,” Su Zhixing said .
Ten minutes after they left, a man as nimble as an ape dressed in camouflage attire, came to the place they soldiers had just been .
“No bloodstains? Didn’t they trigger the trap?” He went to where the trap had been set up . “No, the hidden weapons have been activated . What had happened?”
He walked around and saw the arrows were buried in the trees . “How could they be here?” The angle between their location and the direction the hidden weapon was positioned was almost a full 90 degrees . “That’s strange!”
In the jungle, the team led by Su Zhixing was moving forward . With a click, the soldier in front suddenly stopped .
“What is the matter?” Su Zhixing asked .
“I have stepped on a mine!” the soldier called out .
“Spread out . ” Su Zhixing immediately made a gesture .
The soldiers slowly dispersed . There was a clatter, followed by a whoosh in the air . Hidden weapons were flying toward them . With a thud, all the weapons flew and landed on the grass beside them .
Wang Yao went in front of the soldier who had stepped on the mine and asked, “Is it another trap?”
“Tsk, what are you doing up front?” Su Zhixing asked . “It is too dangerous . Stay further back!”
“I am just going to take a look,” Wang Yao said . “You go on . ”
“You… Fine… Stay there obediently!” Su Zhixing carefully fixed and removed the mine the soldier was standing on . “Legs up, slowly . ”
The soldier carefully raised his legs and retreated . There was a sudden clang sound . The mine had been triggered . A loud explosion resounded through the forest .
In the forest, a team of five men stopped and went in the direction of the sound .
“I wonder now how many died?” a man asked .
“Let’s go,” another man said . “We have to hurry up . The enemy is not just them . ”
The moment the mine had been triggered, Wang Yao hit it . The mine flew out and exploded . No soldier was injured . They were only shocked and had ringing in their ears . If it had exploded near them, the three soldiers nearby would have been killed .
“Thank you,” Su Zhixing said .
“You’re welcome,” Wang Yao said .
“They’ve improved,” Su Zhixing said .
“Huh, what do you mean?” Wang Yao asked .
“Last time we dealt with it this way and there was no problem,” Su Zhixing said . “I’m glad we agreed to bring you along . ”
If it wasn’t for his Wang Yao, the team would’ve probably been cut by more than half .
“Are they professionals?” Wang Yao asked .
“Quite professional,” Su Zhixing replied . “We lost comrades the first two times . ”
“Can’t these mines be detected?” Wang Yao asked .
“It’s not easy to detect them,” Su Zhixing said . “This is the latest product . There are no metal components in them, so they can’t be detected by a metal detector . ”
“That’s very high-tech,” Wang Yao said .
“Technology is combat power,” Su Zhixing said .
