The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

C63 – Enemy In Sight (2)

Tank’s preceding three shots weren’t merely about startling birds into flight; Xu Yangyi found himself rolling in the grass as well.

Initially planning a stealthy ambush on Tank to catch it off-guard, Xu Yangyi’s intentions were thwarted by a bird’s nest in a tree. Tank unexpectedly fired shots at that very moment. However, Xu Yangyi utilized the noise from the gunshots to mask his own movements.

This particular scene coincidentally landed within the camera’s frame, distinctly captured on screen. All witnesses were taken aback, as they were at a loss to understand how Xu Yangyi managed to intercept Tank en route and then seamlessly descend from the tree. Even a seasoned individual like Tank operator failed to discern any trace of his escape.

“Is this even possible? Despite being outmatched by Tanks in terms of both timing and speed, why are we suddenly facing a Tank right in the middle of the training field? It’s truly beyond comprehension.” Ji Guangming exclaimed with an air of astonishment, his gaze eventually falling on Hee Jingyan.

Could it be that the colonel anticipated his sister-in-law’s defeat and dispatched some operatives to deceive?

Hee Jingyan shot Ji Guangming a cold glance, as if silently reproaching his audacity. While Ji Guangming was apprehensive, upon reflection, he deemed the idea implausible. Hee Jingyan was a man who diligently upheld the demarcation between public and private interests, rendering it improbable for him to engage in such petty subterfuge.

Suddenly, rustling sounds emerged from behind them. A sizable contingent of soldiers had formed a formation and was engaged in hushed discussions.

“That must be a Tank from the Dragon Riding Team! But who’s that little fellow?”

“Absolutely! The discrepancy in their skills is enormous! Just look at how slender he is and how skillfully he wields that heavy firearm.”

“Yeah, we definitely won’t win.”

“Don’t even mention him, even we can’t win.”

……

Obviously, many were skeptical about Xu Yangyi’s capabilities. However, as they had just arrived and missed Xu Yangyi’s sudden appearance, some of the soldiers who had been present earlier chimed in:

“Everyone, just keep quiet and observe. This young one is incredibly powerful.”

“You can’t even catch a glimpse of the dragon’s head or tail. Not only is he capable of invisibility, but he can also catch his opponents off guard by springing out.”

“Imagine jumping off a tall tree and not just avoiding a deadly fall but also going unnoticed by Tanks. It’s not something just anyone can achieve.”

“Exactly!” But how did he manage to turn invisible? Moreover, it’s a solid 10-minute distance from Tank’s departure time, yet he’s in sync with Tank midway?”

“I’ve considered something, but I’m baffled. Cameras are everywhere, yet they can’t capture a single trace of him. It’s utterly bizarre.”

……

Initially, they were explaining the situation to those behind them, but eventually, they began discussing it with Xu Yangyi. The individuals further back were left in the dark, relegated to watching the scenario unfold on the screen.

“Since when did we have so many people following us?” Ji Guangming expressed mild astonishment. Meanwhile, a captain approached Hee Jingyan and reported, “Classes 45 and 46 have arrived. What are your orders, Colonel?”

Hee Jingyan didn’t glance at the captain and simply replied, “Let them find a good spot and just sit back to observe.”

“Understood, Colonel.” The captain didn’t question the order and returned to organize the team.

On the flip side, Rosen and Ji Guangming were mildly taken aback. Hee Jingyan’s actions made it evident he wanted them to witness the practice competition, which was quite exceptional.
