A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there has been no progress in the relationship between Han Feng and Liu Mengran, which is a real hardship for Su Wanwan, who is always eager to gossip.
During this time, Han Feng also went to Xishan Villa to treat Lin Zhengguo's health. Under Han Feng's superb medical skills, Lin Zhengguo's spirit and energy became more and more outstanding.
That weekend, Han Feng was sitting in his study, reviewing an analysis of recent financial market fluctuations compiled by System Zero. Suddenly, Zero's holographic projection appeared on the table, the chibi-style boy's expression unusually serious.
“Host, urgent warning.” Zero’s voice was no longer languid, but carried a cold, mechanical quality. “The Dark Web has issued a bounty on you, and the ‘Blood Blade’ mercenary group has taken over. My information indicates that they are planning to enter China from the northern border and then proceed to Kyoto.”
Han Feng's eyes sharpened, and he gently put down the document in his hand: "Specific information."
Zero retrieves an encrypted data stream, and several satellite images and personnel files are displayed on the projector:
Bloodblade Mercenary Group: An international A-level mercenary organization specializing in high-value assassination and kidnapping services. It has 12 core members who are skilled in infiltration, demolition, and sniping.
Task completion status: 384 B-level tasks, 191 C-level tasks, 36 A-level tasks, 3 S-level tasks, and no records for SS-level and above.
The employer confirmed that the money trail traced back to an offshore account in country M, ultimately pointing to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Han Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking: I haven't even come to you yet, but you've delivered yourself to my door first.
Suddenly, the study door was flung open, and Su Wanwan rushed in, clutching her laptop. Her short, burgundy hair was a mess, clearly indicating she had run all the way there.
"Han Feng! Something terrible has happened!" She gasped, leaning on the table. "I just saw on the Longyuan intranet that the 'Blood Blade' mercenary group plans to enter the country soon, and their target is probably you. The higher-ups have ordered them not to enter China, and to carry out a crackdown if necessary!"
Han Feng was taken aback. "Tsk, this girl is quite perceptive."
Just then, Han Feng's phone vibrated—the caller ID showed: Chen Feng.
"Instructor Han," Chen Feng's voice was steady yet urgent, "the commander requests your immediate visit to the Longyuan Base; there is an urgent mission."
Han Feng's gaze darkened slightly: "Is it related to 'Blood Blade'?"
There was a second of silence on the other end of the phone: "...You already know?"
"We'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Han Feng got up to leave, and Su Wanwan came over excitedly: "Are you going to fight? Take me with you!"
Han Feng glanced at her: "You stay at home and continue to monitor Blood Blade's movements for me."
"Why?!" she exclaimed, jumping up and down. "I'm a full member of Longyuan!"
"Because you're just a technical advisor, not part of the combat team." Han Feng smiled wickedly and casually tossed her a miniature terminal. "Use this to monitor all traffic nodes in the Northern Territory. Notify me immediately if you find anything unusual."
Su Wanwan wanted to protest, but found that Han Feng had disappeared without a trace.
Half an hour later, in the Longyuan Base's operations conference room, Lin Zhengguo stood in front of a holographic sand table. The northern terrain map was displayed in three dimensions, with several red dots flashing—these were the hiding places of the Blood Blade Mercenary Group.
"Xiao Han, you already know the situation." Lin Zhengguo's eyes were sharp. "This group of people is very dangerous. We suspect they are carrying high-explosive weapons."
Han Feng nodded: "They came for me."
A murmur rippled through the conference room. Chen Feng frowned: "How can you be so sure?"
"The employer is Mu Xiaoxiao." Han Feng took out the evidence USB drive provided by the system, plugged it into the computer, and instantly information about Mu Xiaoxiao appeared on the screen: "She wants my life."
Lin Zhengguo's eyes darkened: "In that case, what do you plan to do?"
Ding: Detected that Lin Zhengguo is about to entrust the host with this operation. Please make a choice.
Option 1: Agree to Lin Zhengguo's request.
Option 2: Stay out of it and let Longyuan take action.
Option 3: Upgrade the crafting options.
Han Feng had already intended to take matters into his own hands, and now that the provocation was so blatant, it would be unreasonable not to retaliate. He then chose option 3.
Ding: Option upgraded and unique: Agree to Lin Zhengguo's request and annihilate the Blood Blade Mercenary Group's action team. Mission reward: Dragon Abyss Information Database data.
Looking at the system's reward, Han Feng grinned. With Longyuan's information database, he could find some information that the system couldn't, such as Mu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts.
Han Feng said to Lin Zhengguo, "This matter started because of me, so I will put an end to it."
Lin Zhengguo looked at Han Feng and nodded in satisfaction: "You only agreed to join Longyuan before, and you even gave me face by becoming an instructor for Longyuan." Then he said seriously: "Han Feng, as the Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China, I am now granting you the rank of Major, and you will be directly transferred by the Central Government. The thirty people from the last training session will now belong to your squad. This time, you will serve as the operation commander to carry out this mission. The mission is to reach Z City in the Northern Territory and annihilate the Blood Blade Mercenary Group!"
Han Feng immediately stood up straight. "Yes, sir!" What Chinese man wouldn't want to sacrifice his life for his country!
"I will arrange for the Longyuan branch and local forces in the background to assist you in completing this mission. You will depart tomorrow. Go and make the arrangements now."
Han Feng followed Chen Feng to the training ground, where thirty people had already assembled and were looking at the two of them with burning eyes, clearly having already learned of the news.
Standing beside Han Feng, Chen Feng announced loudly, "By order of command, Han Feng will serve as the frontline commander for this 'Blood Blade' annihilation operation!"
After a brief silence, a low cheer erupted in the dormitory.
"Finally, I can go on missions with Instructor Han!"
"Damn it, this time I'll show those bastards what Longyuan is all about!"
Han Feng raised his hand to signal for silence, his gaze sweeping over the crowd: "For this operation, I'm only bringing six people."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone stepped forward at the same time, their eyes burning with fervor and their fighting spirit boiling.
"Hunter squad, six men."* His voice was cold as he pointed to the first man, "Iron Tower, assault soldier." The nearly two-meter-tall burly man grinned and patted the MK18 short assault rifle hanging on his chest: "I guarantee to smash the enemy into mincemeat!" Han Feng chose him because of his peak strength and defense; he had once withstood three bullets and still managed to break through.
"Night Owl, reconnaissance and sniping." The lean man in the corner nodded silently, the **TAC-50 sniper rifle in his arms gleaming coldly under the light. He had witnessed Night Owl's abilities firsthand. It was just that his own concealment was too abnormal; otherwise, with Night Owl's observation skills, he could find an ordinary special forces member in less than a minute.
"Stinger, explosives and electronic warfare." The young man wearing tactical goggles pushed up his glasses, various miniature bombs tucked into his waistband. He was a computer genius second only to Su Wanwan in hacking skills (provided Su Wanwan wasn't so carefree), capable of hacking into enemy communications and remotely detonating explosives.
"White Heron, medical and melee." The only female member among the thirty tossed her short, ear-length hair, the scalpel twirling between her fingers like silver flowers. She was originally a battlefield medic, specializing in combat techniques targeting vital joints.
"Ash, suppressive fire." The burly man carrying the M249 machine gun grinned and patted the barrel: "Enough ammo!" Han Feng chose him because he had once single-handedly held a pass, suppressing an entire enemy platoon.
"Shadows, infiltration, and assassination."
The man standing in the shadows had gray-black pupils, and a ceramic dagger was faintly visible in his sleeve.
This squad is a **work of art of killing** personally crafted by Han Feng.

"Report!" Suddenly, someone in the back row raised their hand. It was "Viper," who was skilled in using poison. "Instructor, I'm applying to join! The Blood Blade people like to use poison, and I can counter it!"
"I can be useful too!" A team member nicknamed "Radar" pushed forward. "I can use sound waves to detect the distribution of people inside buildings!"
As everyone started chattering, Chen Feng frowned, about to reprimand them, but Han Feng raised his hand to signal for quiet.
“This operation requires ‘silent annihilation.’” He walked to the weapons rack and took out a silenced submachine gun. “Viper, you’re in charge of the rear-area poison analysis; Radar, monitor the battlefield dynamics in real time—but you won’t be involved on the front lines.”
The two people whose names were called saluted excitedly, while the others, though disappointed, were convinced of the truth.
