169: Chapter 169 The Correct Way to Raise a "Little Maid"

"Lanna, stop, don't move!"

Qin Feng painfully shifted into a new position to make himself more comfortable.

"Chef, are you okay?"

Lanna stopped in her tracks instantly.

"I'm fine, don't come over for now."

Qin Feng leaned against the rock and closed his eyes.

He wasn't resting; he was rapidly thinking of countermeasures while also checking his system panel.

[Host: Qin Feng]

[Military Rank: Level 2 Sergeant (5450 / 20000)]

[military merit: 1335 points]

The recent string of kills had successfully promoted his military rank, and he had also been rewarded with 500 free military merit points.

It was indeed an unexpected joy.

He quickly opened the military merit store and began looking for a way to solve his leg problem.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a new item.

["Runner" Military-Grade Bionic Prosthetic Limb (Agility Type): Adopts the latest generation of memory metal and biological neural interface technology, perfectly simulates human leg function, and possesses super explosive power and endurance. Price: 1000 military merit.]

1000 military merit!

Qin Feng's eyelids twitched as he saw this.

This price was even more ruthless than robbery!

He had worked so hard, braving life and death, to save up this little nest egg, and the damn system wiped it all out in one go.

He scrolled down and saw a few cheaper items.

[Basic Prosthetic Limb (Primary): Basic walking function. Price: 500 military merit.]

[Field Emergency Temporary Brace: Metal brace, can be temporarily fixed, severely affects mobility. Price: 100 military merit.]

Qin Feng's brows furrowed tightly.

It seemed this 1000 military merit had to be spent.

"Damn it, just as I got out of poverty, I'm back to being poor."

Qin Feng cursed inwardly, but still chose to redeem it without hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the "Runner" Military-Grade Bionic Prosthetic Limb.]

Whoosh!

The next second.

His leg felt as if it had grown back, and the skin effect was still effective.

[Host's remaining military merit: 335 points]

Qin Feng felt this brand-new prosthetic limb. The moment the nerves connected, it made him understand what true power was.

This kind of technology that only exists in the future is just awesome!

Now, he felt like he could kick a cow to death, and even long-distance raids of two or three days would be a piece of cake.

Lanna waited for a few minutes, and finding no response, she felt both angry and anxious.

She couldn't listen to his words anymore, wiped away her tears, and ran over.

When she rounded the rock and saw the scene before her, she was completely stunned.

Qin Feng was leaning against the rock, his face as pale as paper, with a trace of undried blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

His combat uniform was already tattered, covered in tears from exploding debris, with crisscrossing bloody gashes that were shocking to the eye.

"I'm fine." Qin Feng made an OK gesture and grinned.

Lanna looked at his cheeky expression, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

This bastard! This lunatic!

How could he... how could he say such cruel words in such a relaxed tone!

She could no longer hold it back, plopped down on her knees in front of Qin Feng, and reached out with trembling hands, wanting to touch his wounds but not daring to.

"Cry all you want, but don't you dare drop your tears onto my wounds," Qin Feng teased. "If the salt water stings the wounds, it'll hurt even more."

"At a time like this, you're still in the mood to joke." Lanna laughed through her tears.

Qin Feng took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. It looked like he was comforting her in a low voice, but in reality, he was giving an order to the bionic spider.

"Ghost, get to work. Strip all the good stuff off those corpses for me, especially the ammunition and grenades. Don't miss a single one."

In the shadows, a nimble black figure darted out silently and began highly efficient "resource recovery" on the battlefield.

"What are you still staring for?"

Qin Feng pushed Lanna away, reached out to pinch her chin, and lifted it.

"Don't you see your master is injured? Hurry up and come over to apply medicine for me."

Lanna snapped out of her daze and scrambled to rummage through the emergency kit from the horse's back.

When she used a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to clean the wound, her hands were shaking violently.

"Hiss..." Qin Feng drew a sharp breath at just the right moment.

"Did I hurt you?" Lanna's movements immediately became gentler. As she applied the medicine, she complained with a sobbing tone.

"You're injured like this, and you're still in the mood to joke! Don't you know what pain is?"

"It hurts, of course it hurts." Qin Feng grinned. "But compared to when I accidentally cut my hand while chopping vegetables in the kitchen before, this is just a drizzle."

Of course he was in pain; his internal organs were still burning from the shock.

But this level of pain was already an everyday occurrence for him.

However, looking at Lanna's pained expression, he felt that occasionally showing weakness wasn't so bad.

So, he very cooperatively let out two more "ouch" sounds.

Lanna was indeed even more distressed and would even blow gently on his wounds.

This made Qin Feng feel like a big boss.

The "little maid" at home is just obedient.

Comfortable!

...

Meanwhile.

Yang Country Central Theater, underground command center.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it could drip water.

On the holographic screen in the center of the operations hall, the signal was completely cut off.

The entire army was wiped out!

A high-ranking Yang Country officer with stars on his shoulders stared fixedly at the screen, the muscles on his face twitching, and the veins on his forehead bulging.

"Bam!"

He slammed his fist onto the command console, producing a deafening bang.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

His roar echoed throughout the command center.

"Six! Six whole armed helicopters! To deal with one person! And the result?"

"Treated like monkeys, set off like fireworks!"

"This is the greatest humiliation for our Yang Country military since its founding!"

The surrounding staff officers and military officers were silent as cicadas, not daring to even breathe loudly.

On the big screen, a slightly blurry photo of a young man, captured by a high-magnification lens, was magnified.

Qin Feng appeared vividly on the photo.

It was this face that, in just a few short hours, had destroyed their most important logistics supply station and toyed with their patrol team.

Now, it had caused them heavy losses again!

"Investigate! Investigate for me!"

That general pointed at Qin Feng's photo, his eyes bloodshot, like a beast wanting to eat someone.

"What on earth is the background of this Dragon Country soldier!"

"How did he infiltrate our hinterland! I want all his files! All of them!"

"Report, General!" An intelligence officer stood up, biting the bullet.

"We... we can't find it. We simply cannot break into the Dragon Country's database."

"Information about this person is completely blank, as if... he just popped out of thin air."

"Popped out of thin air?" The general laughed in anger, his laughter filled with cold killing intent.

"Then find him for me! Even if you have to turn that grassland upside down, plow it over again with iron plows, you must find him for me!"

He paused, and word by word, squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"Notify the ground units of The Military, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Armored Reconnaissance Battalions, to immediately encircle the target area!"

"I don't care what method they use, I want him alive, or dead... I want his corpse, hacked into ten thousand pieces!"

"Yes!"

The order was quickly transmitted down.

A net of justice composed of armored vehicles, assault vehicles, and motorized infantry began to rapidly close in on the grassland rock area.

...

Rock area.

Lanna had just finished bandaging the last wound for Qin Feng and tied a beautiful bow.

"Done." She looked at her masterpiece and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While Qin Feng was enjoying the "little maid" service, the bionic spider in his mind sent an alert.

Enemy ground forces were in pursuit.

"Don't space out, the pursuers are here."

Qin Feng grabbed Lanna, who was still stunned in place, and leaped onto Chiyan.

"If we don't leave now, we'll really be surrounded and wiped out."

Lanna was scooped into his arms with one hand, and she flicked the queen's horse whip.

"Giddyap!"

Chiyan neighed and galloped off.
