Chapter 25: A Cunning Pack of Wolves?
"World-class thermal imaging: allows the host to sense all thermal radiation within a radius of 1,000 meters and automatically converts it into clear images!"
"Holy cow! This is way too overpowered, right? Not only can it sense thermal radiation, but it can also convert it into clear images?"
Qin Yuan blinked, absolutely stunned by the system's description.
He closed his eyes slightly.
In an instant!
Qin Yuan activated the world-class thermal imaging system!
Suddenly!
Everything within a 1,000-meter radius!
Was laid bare before Qin Yuan!
Any object that possessed temperature and emitted thermal radiation!
The quiet jungle, the beetle crawling in the grass, a stray cat, the owl in the tree...
And Li Erniu, who was the closest to Qin Yuan and also the largest heat source!
Qin Yuan sensed it carefully and was completely shocked by this god-tier ability!
"Precise distance, clear images! And... it even has a full 1,000-meter radius! This is too powerful! Does this mean that from now on, all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius will have nowhere to hide?"
Qin Yuan smiled, unable to hide his bright grin!
"Li Erniu, let's go! We need to keep moving!"
Qin Yuan smiled calmly and looked at Li Erniu.
As of now.
Qin Yuan’s physical strength allowed him to lift over 20,000 jin of weight!
He possessed the poker-throwing skill for taking down enemies!
He also had perfect-level marksmanship, ensuring every shot hit its target!
Combined with the world-class thermal imaging ability that could predict ambushes in advance!
The current Qin Yuan...
Could already be called a man like a god in this world!
Qin Yuan was high-spirited, heroic, and radiant!
"Alright, Brother Yuan! Let's hurry! If we don't, we might really lose track of the main force!"
Li Erniu was happy to hear this; he was infected by Qin Yuan’s energy!
Suddenly.
Qin Yuan had an idea!
He thought of the mission the system had just issued!
Didn't the system say...
That he had to eliminate the Wild Wolf Commando?
"Why don't we go back and take a look at that place from earlier?"
Action followed thought!
Qin Yuan led Li Erniu back the way they came!
At the same time!
With a thought!
He activated the powerful thermal imaging ability!
In an instant!
Everything within a 1,000-meter radius!
Was in his line of sight!
The system ability automatically converted the received thermal radiation into high-definition images, presenting them in Qin Yuan's mind!
It was just like seeing it with his own eyes!
No!
Strictly speaking!
This was even more terrifying than seeing it with his own eyes!
After all.
What the eyes can see is limited by obstacles!
And there are distance limitations!
But now...
Qin Yuan’s thermal imaging ability!
Could receive thermal radiation images from everything within a 1,000-meter radius!
Places invisible to the naked eye!
Thermal imaging could reveal them directly!
This was far more powerful than the naked eye!
"Tsk tsk, this is truly incredible!"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Brother Yuan, why are we coming back?"
After walking for a while, Li Erniu realized they seemed to be heading back the way they came.
"The small path is too hard to traverse; we’re taking the main road!"
With the thermal imaging ability!
Qin Yuan was now fearless!
He was only afraid of not encountering enemies!
"Huh? Isn't it dangerous to take the main road? There are only two of us."
Li Erniu was puzzled!
He remembered Qin Yuan saying earlier that there were people on this main road!
Wouldn't taking the main road now be suicidal?
"Dangerous?" Qin Yuan smiled, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing is a problem!"
They hadn't walked many steps!
Sure enough!
Qin Yuan’s thermal imaging system!
Discovered that about 100 meters ahead in the spot he previously thought had been disturbed, there were seven people patiently lurking!
Qin Yuan took a closer look!
Indeed!
It was his target, the members of the Wild Wolf Commando!
"Good grief! So that place was actually a flaw left intentionally to lure someone into a trap?"
With the thermal imaging system!
Qin Yuan was surprised to find!
The place he had spotted as problematic earlier!
Actually had no one there at all!
It was entirely a trap set by the Wild Wolf Commando to leave a deliberate flaw!
And the real Wild Wolf Commando!
Were actually over 100 meters ahead of the trap!
"That makes sense! The Wild Wolf Commando is a special forces unit! Their camouflage skills must be terrifyingly strong! Flawless! How could they be discovered so easily?"
Qin Yuan reflected.
In an instant, he saw through the intentions of the Wild Wolf Commando!
At the same time.
Qin Yuan also developed a shred of awe for real special forces!
It seemed there was still much for him to learn from them!
"But this time... Wild Wolf Commando! Heh heh, you’re unlucky to have run into me!"
Qin Yuan smiled and observed the terrain!
He immediately formulated a strategy!
He led Li Erniu to change their route!
It took more than half an hour!
They circled around from a distance to the rear of the Wild Wolf Commando, less than 100 meters away!
"Brother Yuan, why did you bring me here? Aren't we looking for the main force anymore?"
Li Erniu asked in confusion.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile; this Li Erniu...
He still hadn't forgotten about the main force!
"Bringing you here, of course, means there’s something to be done!"
Qin Yuan didn't reveal too much directly!
"Li Erniu, how is your marksmanship? During training, how many rings can you hit with 10 bullets?"
Qin Yuan asked deliberately.
"Brother Yuan, my weakest point is marksmanship," Li Erniu said, scratching his head honestly upon hearing this. "When I first joined the company, I could only hit 60 rings! Although I've been going to the training ground every week lately, I can only score a little over 80. My marksmanship is too poor; otherwise, why would I have been assigned to the kitchen squad?"
Qin Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
It seemed Li Erniu's marksmanship!
Was indeed not great!
However...
At such close range!
It was more than enough!
Qin Yuan kept the thermal imaging system on at all times!
His entire mind was actually in a state of high tension!
But Qin Yuan’s physical condition was terrifyingly good!
He could still handle it!
"Hmm? A motorcade is coming?"
Qin Yuan continued to move slowly with Li Erniu, avoiding all blind spots to avoid being discovered by the Wild Wolf Commando!
However, at this moment—
Qin Yuan’s thermal imaging ability detected a column of vehicles coming down the main road behind them, along with a fully armed security squad!
"Good grief! Is this... Kang Lei’s motorcade? Looks like there’s going to be a good show!"
Qin Yuan smiled, and he and Li Erniu couldn't help but speed up!
Under Qin Yuan’s lead, monitored by the world-class thermal imaging ability!
The Wild Wolf Commando members didn't notice their detour in the slightest!
Up ahead.
In the position held by the Wild Wolf Commando!
"Boss, there’s movement!"
A voice finally came through everyone’s communicators!
"I told you, there would be a big harvest here! Haha, the target has finally arrived!"
Wild Wolf Commando leader Wang Qiang laughed excitedly.
Victory was right in front of them!
As long as they decapitated the enemy commander, Colonel Kang Lei, the Red Army would be leaderless, and this military exercise, which had been prepared for so long, would be declared over just as it began!
"The Captain is truly wise! If we had exposed ourselves for those two greenhorns earlier, it really wouldn't have been worth it! Now, the Red Army commander is the big fish!"
Another member also said with a chuckle.
In fact.
Back when Qin Yuan first discovered that suspicious spot!
The Wild Wolf Commando’s sniper had already discovered the presence of Qin Yuan and his companion!
But at that time...
They didn't kill Qin Yuan to avoid exposing their position!
After all...
Killing one or two small fry like Qin Yuan meant nothing to their Wild Wolf Commando!
The purpose of special forces!
Is to carry out special missions!
Such as killing enemy leaders, destroying critical enemy facilities, and so on...
Ordinary soldiers were, in their eyes, completely expendable.
Because whether they killed them or not would not have much of an impact!
