Inside a factory somewhere, the mercenary leader Dad is in conversation with General Adu of the anti-government armed forces.
"We've taken care of it for you," Dad says, holding up a communication device. "Ambassador Tunt of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prince Andra, Prince Dru, and the damn Communications Ministry manager, they've all vanished. Mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace."
"Don't try to fool me with this nonsense. All I want to know now is where Dr. Chen is," General Adu asks, suppressing his anger.
"Ah..." Dad sighs, walking towards a group of people guarded in the center of the factory. He pulls the black bag off one man's head and places the phone by his ear. "Tell him what you just told me."
"Dr. Chen is at the Saint Francis Private Hospital," the man says, his eyes vacant, like a robot.
"Excellent," Dad nods with satisfaction, then stands up and waves.
The guards around them immediately step forward and shoot the group dead. Dad, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, walks to the door with a smile and says menacingly, "Heard that? That could be your fate too."
With that, he hangs up the phone, opens the factory door, and looks out at the vast number of Red Army soldiers.
At this moment, a person in black clothes and a black hat approaches and stands beside Dad, saying in a low voice, "All the drones have been modified. They can carry a hundred rounds, enough for you."
Dad glances at the person beside him and nods with satisfaction. "Very good, Mie. It seems saving you was a very correct decision."
Mie, the one called Mie, remains silent for a moment before speaking softly, "It was merely a matter of mutual benefit."
"Alright, everyone, prepare for action!" Dad shouts loudly.
...
On the way to Saint Francis Private Hospital, Leng Feng and Ling Feng are in a domestically produced jeep.
Since Ling Feng doesn't know how to drive and is unaware of the location of Saint Francis Hospital, the driving task falls to Leng Feng.
Along the way, Leng Feng's eyes flick to the rearview mirror, glancing at Ling Feng resting in the back seat. He can't help but ask, "How did you know I would be on this mission?"
"I calculated it," Ling Feng opens his eyes and looks at Leng Feng.
"Calculated? How did you calculate it so precisely?" Leng Feng asks, bewildered.
"Have you heard of Feng Shui?"
"Feng Shui? You mean those trickster methods?" Leng Feng asks skeptically. He's a soldier, naturally an atheist, but he has heard of metaphysics like Feng Shui.
"Tricksters? Remember one thing: the universe is vast and full of wonders. Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"Are you saying you used Feng Shui to predict I would be on this mission?"
"Whether it's true or not, you probably already have the answer in your heart. The reason I could know that person's name was also calculated." Ling Feng wasn't lying; he actually knew Feng Shui. Although he couldn't yet predict the future, he could perform simple divinations.
Upon hearing this, Leng Feng was initially disbelieving of Ling Feng's claims about Feng Shui, thinking it was just a coincidence. However, Ling Feng's ability to know Long Xiaoyun's name made his confidence waver.
"Can you then calculate where the killer who murdered Long Xiaoyun is now?" Although Leng Feng didn't want to believe Ling Feng's words, he desperately wished they were true so he could find the killer of Long Xiaoyun.
"Of course, I can. But are you sure you want to waste your promise on this?" Ling Feng's lips curve slightly upward.
"...On the ship, you said you would tell me something I wanted to know. And what I want to know now is where the killer who murdered her is?!" Mentioning Long Xiaoyun destabilizes Leng Feng's emotions, as her death has always been a source of pain for him.
"Alas, it seems you didn't understand what I said on the ship at all. But since you want to know who killed her, I can tell you that you will meet him in the near future." Ling Feng shakes his head helplessly. He had originally thought Leng Feng understood what he said on the ship, but now it was clear he hadn't grasped it at all.
"What is 'near future'?"
"You'll know in the future. Now, we should prepare for action." Ling Feng looks out the window at the makeshift activity rooms that have been erected. He doesn't reveal everything to Leng Feng, as some things cannot be told too early, otherwise the plot would change drastically, leading to more variables.
Leng Feng wanted to ask more questions, but seeing they were nearing their destination, he could only hold back his words and prepare for action.
Leng Feng quickly drives the jeep to the entrance of Saint Francis Hospital. Upon arrival, Leng Feng keenly senses something is wrong. He chooses not to stop but instead veers off to the side.
"Saint Francis Hospital has likely been infiltrated. However, they're probably only slightly ahead of us. The people at the entrance haven't withdrawn, which means they're likely still inside. I'll drive in directly from the side later. Be careful," Leng Feng says to Ling Feng.
"Don't worry."
Ling Feng looks at the Wufeng Sword in his hand. While he may not know any grappling techniques, he knows martial arts. In a fight against Leng Feng, he might be a bit outmatched, but against a strength-based mercenary like Da Xiong, his Tai Chi Bagua technique is perfectly suited to counter them.
"Get ready!" Arriving at the side of the hospital, Leng Feng observes his surroundings, then turns the car and aims it at the hospital. He reminds Ling Feng, then accelerates to full throttle.
Vroom!
The sound of the engine accelerating fills the air. The jeep then shoots out like an arrow, smashing through the hospital's surrounding fence and then crashing onto the hospital wall via a ramp made of wooden planks.
Bang!
The wall shatters, creating a large hole for the jeep. It's clear that the materials used to build this temporary hospital aren't very sturdy.
The people inside the hospital are startled by this sudden intrusion, but the mercenaries, being battle-hardened, quickly react and open fire.
The mercenary codenamed Ghost at the entrance raises his assault rifle and fires at Leng Feng, the driver, intending to eliminate the driver first.
Seeing this, Leng Feng quickly ducks down in the jeep. The vehicle then executes a beautiful drift, knocking over the shooter before braking abruptly.
Rattattat!
Athena raises her assault rifle and continuously fires at the driver's seat. Leng Feng quickly jumps out from the other side of the jeep and engages Athena, who is approaching, in close combat.
"Shit!" Seeing Ling Feng aiming his gun at her, Athena unleashes a flurry of quick attacks, pushing Leng Feng back before immediately dodging behind a stone pillar supporting the hospital.
Rattattat...
Ling Feng fires several shots, all of which miss. He says with some surprise, "So agile?"
Leng Feng, seeing enemy personnel approaching, quickly picks up an assault rifle from the ground and shoots them down before re-engaging Athena in combat.
Because the two are too close, Ling Feng has difficulty firing his gun for fear of friendly fire.
"Hah!" Just as Ling Feng is spacing out, Da Xiong emerges from somewhere and charges with a powerful ram.
Boom!
Ling Feng is directly slammed against a stone pillar, his arm throbbing with pain, momentarily disoriented.
"Hah!" Having successfully ambushed, Da Xiong charges forward again, grabs one of Ling Feng's shoulders with one hand, and punches him hard in the stomach.
"Ah!"
Struck hard in the stomach, Ling Feng cries out in pain, but this shock also sharpens his senses. Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Ling Feng immediately begins to counterattack, kicking, smashing, punching, and blocking, using brute force as much as possible.
His strength is no less than Da Xiong's. Although his physique isn't as imposing, the strength hidden beneath his muscles is substantial. Da Xiong, as a veteran mercenary, has natural combat instincts, while Ling Feng is still young and can't use Tai Chi Bagua skillfully. His combat experience is also limited, leading to an intense exchange that results in a stalemate.
Ling Feng and Da Xiong are locked in combat, as are Leng Feng and Athena. However, it's clear that even with Athena's exceptional skills, she's still a notch below Leng Feng, and the gap between them quickly widens.
After Athena is forced back, Leng Feng immediately picks up Athena's assault rifle from the ground and begins firing at the Red Army soldiers entering the hospital.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng is also getting accustomed to Da Xiong's fighting style.
"Straight punch!" Ling Feng finds an opportunity, using Da Xiong's force to deflect a punch, then delivers a powerful punch to Da Xiong's stomach, causing Da Xiong to curse loudly. However, with his rich combat experience, he quickly grabs Ling Feng and executes a shoulder throw.
Thump!
Ling Feng is slammed heavily onto the ground, pain coursing through his body. But he quickly gets up, spots his AK nearby, and immediately rolls to avoid Da Xiong's lunge, picks it up, aims at Da Xiong, and pulls the trigger.
"Eat my bullets!"
Brrrrt... kanδん
The AK in Ling Feng's hands spews out bullets as if they were free.
"Damn it!" Seeing Ling Feng has a gun, Da Xiong curses and immediately takes cover behind a stone pillar, using it to block the bullets.
Brrrrt!
While Ling Feng's attention is focused on Da Xiong, Ghost immediately raises his gun and fires, intending to shoot Ling Feng dead.
"Watch out!" In a moment of crisis, Leng Feng lunges from the side, tackling Ling Feng to the ground and dodging the bullets.
The two roll to the front of the jeep. Ling Feng and Leng Feng stand on opposite sides, firing their weapons. But soon, their bullets run out. Seeing his assault rifle is empty, Leng Feng unhesitatingly discards it and picks up an AK from the ground to continue fighting.
"Ling Feng! I'll provide cover fire. You go check on Dr. Chen!"
"Okay." Ling Feng nods and approaches Dr. Chen and the others, saying, "Dr. Chen, we were sent by Ambassador Fan to rescue you."
"Cough, cough." Dr. Chen is somewhat agitated upon hearing this. He removes the respirator from his mouth, grabs Ling Feng's arm, and says with a hurried tone, "This is my daughter, Pasha. Please, you must protect her. I'm not long for this world."
"My daughter is the key to curing Ramanla. Please, ensure her safety. I beg you."
Ling Feng nods solemnly. "Don't worry, we will protect her."
As those who have seen the movie know, this little girl possesses a live antibody that can cure the Ramanla virus, and this is Dr. Chen's dying wish.
"Thank... *pant, pant*..." Soon, Dr. Chen can no longer hold on. He gasps for air a few times, then closes his eyes, his head slumps to the side, and he passes away.
Ling Feng had originally intended to give Dr. Chen a Resurrection Pill, but with the pill's potency, Dr. Chen's body, suffering from excessive blood loss, could not withstand the powerful effects of a three-star pill. Even if he broke off a small piece, it would be too late.
"Are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer." More and more enemy soldiers are pouring into the hospital, and Leng Feng is struggling to hold them back, with only a few bullets left in his AK.
"If you want to live, get in the car quickly!" Ling Feng shouts.
The female doctor Rachel immediately hugs the little girl and gets into the car. Several doctors and nurses attempting to flee are shot. Ling Feng can't help them and can only get into the car right after. Seeing everyone is in the car, Leng Feng slams the door shut and continues to shoot at the enemy soldiers pouring in from the entrance.
Inside the car, Ling Feng looks at Rachel and asks, "Can you drive?"
"Yes."
"Then start the car quickly, Leng Feng is about to give out."
"I know." Rachel nods and immediately gets into the driver's seat, fumbling to start the car.
Vroom...
The sound of the engine starting fills the air. Ling Feng also shouts to Leng Feng outside the car.
"Get in!"
The jeep successfully starts. Seeing the jeep is moving, Leng Feng is initially bewildered, but upon hearing Ling Feng's words, he quickly jumps into the car, grabs the cargo rack, and performs a one-handed AK maneuver.
Rachel also floors the accelerator.
Bang!
The jeep bursts out of the hospital gates, shining like a divine being under the sunlight.
The glass on the door shatters on the ground, but at this point, who cares? Escaping is paramount. Ling Feng raises his AK and fires out the window with Leng Feng, shooting at the enemies outside.
