106: Chapter 106 I used a satellite lid to blacken a satellite

Platoon Leader Long Zhan was so angry he almost crushed his binoculars.

"I went to so much trouble—using hostages as threats, providing covering fire—to finally get you out, and that was so you could go get reinforcements, not so you could come back here and die with us!"

"Are you fucking stupid or just crazy?"

"Platoon Leader, don't get worked up..." Chen Mo advised from the side. "Maybe... maybe the Chef got lost?"

"Lost?" Platoon Leader Long Zhan rolled his eyes in frustration.

"He could find the enemy's command post in the Gobi Desert with his eyes closed. How could he get lost?"

Squad Leader Zhang Shan was also confused. He frowned and said, "Did he fail to break through and get beaten back?"

This explanation seemed more plausible.

Everyone's heart sank once more.

If even Qin Feng couldn't break out, then they were truly finished.

However, just as everyone was feeling complicated and speculating, Platoon Leader Long Zhan noticed something wrong through his binoculars again.

Qin Feng's route was very strange.

He didn't head straight for Yangjiao Village. Instead, when he was three or four kilometers away, he suddenly turned and ducked into a craggy valley, disappearing from view.

"What... what is he doing?" Tie Zhu scratched his head, his face full of question marks.

Everyone was baffled by Qin Feng's bizarre maneuver.

Just then, a rapid 'static' sound erupted from the radio in the command post, which had been silent the whole time.

Immediately after, a familiar voice came through clearly.

"Hello? Hello? Platoon Leader, can you hear me? It's me, Qin Feng!"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan shuddered, tossed aside his binoculars, and grabbed the walkie-talkie.

"Chef?! Where are you, kid?! What the hell are you playing at?!"

The roar came through the walkie-talkie, accompanied by static, yet it was still full of vigor, making Qin Feng's ears ring.

"Platoon Leader, keep it down. Calm down, calm down."

Qin Feng picked at his ear, found a rock to sit on, and spoke in a leisurely tone as if he were on vacation.

"Don't scare the wild rabbits nearby; I'm planning to add a dish to my dinner tonight. I'm in a valley three kilometers west of you, enjoying the scenery."

"Enjoying your head! I don't care about the scenery!" Platoon Leader Long Zhan was so angry he almost smashed the walkie-talkie.

"Did a donkey kick your head, or did a pot fall on it? I sent you to get reinforcements, so why did you run back? Do you want to be wrapped up in a dumpling with us?!"

Chen Mo, Tie Zhu, Squad Leader Zhang Shan, and the others gathered around, all with strange expressions on their faces.

They couldn't figure out what on earth the Chef was up to.

"Platoon Leader, that's not fair to say." Qin Feng's voice remained unhurried.

"We're the dumpling filling, and they're the skin. There's only a few of us; we wouldn't even be enough to get stuck between their teeth."

"Get to the point!" Platoon Leader Long Zhan gritted his teeth.

"The point is, I failed to break through."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the command post instantly dropped to freezing. Everyone's heart sank.

It was over.

If even a monster like Qin Feng couldn't break out, then they truly had no hope.

The veins on Platoon Leader Long Zhan's hand holding the walkie-talkie bulged, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Should he comfort him? Or scold him?

"However..." Qin Feng changed his tone, with a hint of playfulness.

"Although I didn't break out, I managed to do a few other things along the way. Platoon Leader, guess what I found?"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan's temper flared up again. "Guess your head! Spit it out!"

"I found an interesting place."

As he spoke, Qin Feng controlled ghost one, aiming the lens at that nameless highland twenty kilometers away.

"About twenty kilometers to our northeast, there's an electronic warfare and drone relay base belonging to the Yang Country people."

"It's very well hidden, and it's quite large."

"All signals in our area have been blocked and jammed by them."

"Whether the intelligence I just sent out gets received or not is entirely up to fate."

Platoon Leader Long Zhan, Chen Mo, Squad Leader Zhang Shan—everyone was stunned by this news.

An electronic warfare base?

No wonder! No wonder all their communication equipment had turned into scrap metal!

No wonder the enemy could so precisely mobilize drones to encircle and annihilate them!

They were like creatures trapped in a transparent glass jar, their every move under surveillance, while they knew nothing about what was outside.

"You... how do you know?" Platoon Leader Long Zhan's voice was a bit dry. "Did you sneak over there?"

Twenty kilometers, and in the heart of enemy territory—that was simply impossible!

"Not really," Qin Feng answered nonchalantly.

"I used a pot lid to hack a satellite and checked the real-time map."

"..."

A deathly silence.

Everyone looked at the crackling walkie-talkie as if looking at a lunatic.

Use a pot lid... to hack a satellite?

Why don't you fucking say you used a big iron ladle to dig a tunnel straight under the enemy Commander's bed?

"Pfft—"

Chen Mo couldn't hold it in any longer. He couldn't catch his breath and just burst out laughing.

He quickly covered his mouth, but his shoulders kept shaking.

Tie Zhu, Squad Leader Zhang Shan, and the others were also crying and laughing at the same time.

What time was it, and the Chef still had the mood to make such jokes.

Only Platoon Leader Long Zhan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in an extremely serious tone:

"Chef, tell the truth. How did you actually find it?"

He knew that although Qin Feng was unreliable with his words, he would never spout nonsense on such critical issues.

"Fine, I won't pretend anymore. I'll show my cards." Qin Feng sighed.

"I used some drone parts to cobble one together and flew it over to take a look."

This statement sounded... even more absurd than the "pot lid hacking a satellite" claim from just a moment ago.

Cobbling together a drone from spare parts?

Do you think you're playing with LEGO bricks?

Platoon Leader Long Zhan felt his blood pressure rising again. Just as he was about to explode, Qin Feng's voice sounded again, but it had become incredibly serious.

"Nameless Highland, coordinates East Longitude XX, North Latitude XX."

"The main body of the base is a semi-underground bunker, surrounded by three layers of electrified barbed wire, with two fixed sentry towers equipped with heavy machine guns."

"There is a four-man patrol team on the ground that circles every ten minutes."

"There are two Yang Country soldiers standing guard at the base entrance."

"According to thermal imaging scans, there is at least one platoon of combat personnel inside the base, along with more than five technicians."

"The northwest corner of the base is their drone tarmac and maintenance center, where at least twenty 'Hummingbird' drones are parked."

"The southeast corner houses their diesel generators and backup power supply. The underground bunker in the center is the signal interference center."

Qin Feng's voice echoed clearly in the command post through the walkie-talkie.

Every word hit like a heavy hammer, smashing hard into everyone's hearts.

This was no longer just intelligence.

This was a god's-eye view!

The smile on Chen Mo's face, which had been there just a moment ago, froze completely. He even forgot to put down the sniper rifle he was half-cleaning.

Platoon Leader Long Zhan gasped, his back instantly soaked in cold sweat.
