Chapter 262: Prelude to the Infiltration Mission

After two days of rigorous training, Qin Feng and his team have significantly improved their physical fitness, combat skills and teamwork. On the morning of the third day, when everyone gathered in the dormitory, although they were tired, everyone's eyes showed a kind of determination and confidence. Today is the last day of special training, and they are all looking forward to new challenges.

Chu Tian yawned and complained, "The training these days is really exhausting. What on earth does the vice president want to do to us?"

Ye Li smiled and said, "Training is to make us stronger. Didn't you always say that you wanted to be the strongest?"

Chu Tian immediately put on a heroic attitude: "Of course! But I still like to enjoy life while getting stronger."

Zhang Meng seemed very excited: "Don't complain Chu Tian! I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger! No matter what the training is today, I'm ready!"

Wang Yue smiled and nodded: "We are all the same, we are all getting stronger. No matter what kind of training we have today, we will face it together."

At this time, Qin Feng came over, holding a task scroll he had just received, with an expectant smile on his face.

Qin Feng said: "Just now, the vice president notified us to gather in the mission room, saying that there is an important task for us. It seems that today's training will be more severe."

Everyone quickly got ready and followed Qin Feng to the mission room. Vice Dean Feng Jian and several instructors were already waiting, and a tense atmosphere filled the mission room.

Vice President Feng Jian looked at Qin Feng and others in front of him and said seriously: "Today is the last day of your special training. Next, you will carry out a simulated infiltration mission. This mission will completely simulate the Northern Ruins mission you are about to face. You need to sneak into the enemy position without being discovered, collect intelligence and complete the designated tasks."

Chu Tian's eyes lit up when he heard about the infiltration mission: "Finally, something different! This is my strong point!"

Ye Li asked calmly: "Vice Dean, what are the specific requirements for this simulation mission? What do we need to pay attention to?"

Vice Dean Feng Jian nodded, unfolded the map, pointed to a marked point and said, "Your mission is to sneak into the enemy's base, find and retrieve an important item. The enemies in this simulated mission will be played by the instructors of the academy. They will set up various traps and patrols. You must try to avoid direct confrontation with them."

Zhang Meng asked in confusion: "What if we are discovered? Should we continue the mission?"

Vice President Feng Jian replied seriously: "If you are discovered, the mission will be considered a failure. Therefore, this mission not only tests your infiltration skills, but also your ability to respond in emergency situations."

Wang Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Do we have any support? Or in other words, is there a retreat route?"

Vice President Feng Jian nodded: "You can call for support in an emergency, but this will increase the risk of being discovered by the enemy. In addition, you need to plan a retreat route in advance, just in case."

Qin Feng and his partners listened carefully to the task assignment, and everyone realized that this simulation mission was not just for training, but to prepare for actual combat.

Before the mission began, Qin Feng and his partners carefully studied the map and the layout of the enemy's strongholds. They developed a detailed action plan, including infiltration routes, intelligence collection points, and retreat routes.

After all the preparations were completed, Qin Feng gave the order and the team began the infiltration operation. The mission simulation area was located in a hidden area behind the college, which was arranged to look like an enemy stronghold. There were high walls and guards patrolling around it, just like a real enemy base.

Qin Feng led the team to quietly approach the stronghold. They used the cover of the night and the terrain to carefully cross the open space in front. Several mentors played the role of guards patrolling around, using flashlights to illuminate the shadows around them from time to time.

Chu Tian leaned against the wall, observing the guards' movements, and whispered, "The guards patrol regularly, and there will be a blind spot every two minutes. We can go around from there."

Ye Li nodded: "Okay, I will be responsible for shooting arrows to cover and attract the guards' attention. You take the opportunity to go around from the right side."

Qin Feng agreed to the plan and quickly arranged the tasks. Zhang Meng was responsible for clearing the way ahead, using his agility to avoid the traps on the ground. Wang Yue was responsible for covering the rear, ready to cast healing magic at any time.

They quietly went around to one side of the stronghold as planned. Ye Li drew her bow and shot a few arrows, accurately hitting the trees in several corners, attracting the attention of the guards. The guards were attracted by the sound and walked over there. Qin Feng and his team took the opportunity to enter the stronghold from the other side.

Qin Feng used gestures to direct everyone to move forward. They moved carefully in the stronghold, avoiding patrolling guards and hidden traps. When they passed an open space, they saw several "enemies" resting there. Qin Feng signaled everyone to take a detour, but at this moment, Zhang Meng accidentally stepped on a branch, making a crisp sound.

Chu Tian reacted immediately and quickly turned over and entered a bush. Qin Feng and others followed closely and hid. The resting "enemy" was startled by the sound, stood up alertly, and looked around.

Ye Li whispered, "We need to distract them. Who has an idea?"

Wang Yue responded softly: "I can make a sound to attract them to the other side."

Qin Feng nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

Wang Yue performed a simple magic trick, creating a rustling sound on the other side. The guard heard the sound and immediately walked over there, leaving his original position. Qin Feng and others quickly came out of the bushes, bypassed the guards and continued forward.

They successfully avoided most of the patrols and came to a small house deep in the base. Qin Feng signaled everyone to stop. There were two guards walking back and forth in front of the door of the house.

Zhang Meng asked in a low voice: "What should we do? Should we just rush over?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, rushing over will alert the enemy. We need a more covert method."

Ye Li looked around and found a small window on the roof. She pointed at the window and said, "We can go in from above."

When Chu Tian heard about the opportunity to climb, he immediately became excited: "Leave it to me!"

After saying that, he quickly climbed onto the roof, opened the small window, and quietly sneaked into the house. Then, he made a gesture inside the house, indicating that it was safe. Qin Feng and Ye Li followed in turn, and finally Zhang Meng and Wang Yue.

They entered the house and found that this was exactly the place they were looking for. There was a small box on the table with a map on it. Qin Feng walked forward and carefully opened the box. Inside lay a sparkling gem.

Chu Tian whispered: "Found it! Let's leave quickly!"

Ye Li picked up the map, rolled it up and put it in her backpack: "These maps are also very important. They can help us understand the enemy's movements."

Just as they were about to leave, footsteps were heard outside the door. Apparently, the guard had discovered their movements. Qin Feng quickly closed the window and led everyone to hide in the corner of the house, waiting for the guard to leave.

The guard pushed open the door and walked into the house to check. Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time. The guard walked around the house and found nothing unusual. When he was about to leave, a guard found the open window.

"Someone's coming in!" The guard became alert and immediately raised his weapon.

Qin Feng knew that there was no way to retreat. He stood up and whispered, "We've been discovered! Get ready to fight!"

When the guard saw Qin Feng, he immediately blew the whistle, and other guards rushed in. Qin Feng and his companions quickly started fighting, and the house was in chaos.

Zhang Meng wielded his giant axe to block several guards who rushed over, while Chu Tian nimbly moved around the house and quickly knocked down several enemies who tried to surround them.

Ye Li drew her bow and shot arrows, hitting several guards' knees accurately, rendering them unable to move. Wang Yue cast healing magic in the rear to ensure that no one would be injured in the battle.

After a fierce battle, the guards were finally repelled. Qin Feng and his companions seized the opportunity, quickly escaped through the window, and fled out of the stronghold according to the retreat route they had previously planned.

Qin Feng and his team successfully evacuated from the base and returned to the mission room. Vice Dean Feng Jian and several instructors were waiting for them. Seeing Qin Feng and his team return safely, Vice Dean Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction.

Vice President Feng Jian asked, "How was the mission completed?"

Qin Feng took out the gems and the map and handed them to the vice president: "We sneaked into the base as planned and successfully retrieved the target items. These are the gems we found and the enemy's map."

Vice Dean Feng Jian took the gem and map with a smile and said, "Very good! You performed very well. Although there were some minor incidents along the way, overall, you met our expectations."

Chu Tian smiled proudly and said, "I told you that infiltration is my strong point! If it weren't for that unlucky branch, I would have passed it perfectly!"

Zhang Meng patted Chu Tian on the shoulder: "Don't get too carried away, be careful of getting into bigger troubles in the future!"

Ye Li said softly: "This training has made us understand the importance of caution. In the enemy's territory, a small mistake may lead to failure."

Wang Yue nodded: "Yes, we need to stay alert at all times, so that we can be invincible in the real mission."

Qin Feng looked at the smiling faces of his partners, his heart filled with pride: "No matter how many challenges there are in the future, I believe we can overcome them. Because we are the best team."
