After explaining some precautions, Gong Kaishan tucked the gun into his waist, lowered his body, and darted through the old district like an arrow.

Li Ying glanced at Xiao Feng, then quickly followed suit, moving with such speed that she seemed nothing like her frail appearance suggested.

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly as he easily followed along, maneuvering smoothly between one cover and another, with not even a change in his breathing rhythm.

After moving this way for about ten minutes, Gong Kaishan gestured for Xiao Feng and Li Ying to come over, pointing ahead, "There's the abandoned building. I'll go over first to check out the situation. If I don't come out in three minutes, something's gone wrong."

Li Ying nodded solemnly, "Be careful!"

Just as Gong Kaishan was about to charge out, Xiao Feng grabbed his arm, "Don't go out!"

"What's wrong?" Gong Kaishan asked, puzzled.

Li Ying, observing the surroundings of the abandoned building, was also unsure why Xiao Feng stopped Gong Kaishan.

"These fools don't take us seriously at all, even the sentinels are so carelessly placed," Xiao Feng said with both indignation and amusement.

"Sentinels?" Li Ying furrowed her brows, "Where? I didn't see anything!"

"You didn't notice either?" Xiao Feng looked at Gong Kaishan.

Gong Kaishan searched for a long time, but seeing nothing amiss, he shook his head.

"You two really are colleagues, a pair of blind bats." Xiao Feng said bluntly.

Li Ying retorted, "Then tell us where the hidden sentinels are?"

"Look, they're right there." Xiao Feng pointed to the pile of trash in front of the abandoned building.

Li Ying and Gong Kaishan looked over and saw a few flies hovering above the trash. If one wasn't careful, anyone might overlook them.

Li Ying, no fool, instantly realized, "With outdoor temperatures below five degrees, flies shouldn't be able to fly, and they're only hovering over the trash, not landing on it. That's suspect."

Gong Kaishan, observing for a moment, added, "Not just outside the door, but flies are flying around the corner too, and there's no trash there."

"Precisely." Xiao Feng grinned, "At least you're not entirely clueless."

"..." Gong Kaishan and Li Ying exchanged glances, feeling a sense of frustration. If not for Xiao Feng's intervention, their mission would've been compromised before it started.

"Let's circle around first, if that doesn't work, I'll just climb up!" Gong Kaishan said determinedly.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Are you kidding, boss? Do you know exactly which floors those foreigners are on? Direct confrontation would be hilarious."

Gong Kaishan's face flushed, but he eventually set aside his pride and humbly asked, "Xiao Feng, you clearly have strong observational skills. Do you have a way to get in quietly?"

"Understand this, I'm only assisting; planning isn't my job." Xiao Feng shrugged, "But if your team's skill level is like this, I suggest you disband right here."

Though harsh, Xiao Feng meant every word. If they were stumped by such simple problems, the Demon Suppression Action Team clearly wasn't ready to take on Devil's Concentration Camp.

Just then, Gong Kaishan's expression shifted, "Where's Li Ying?"

Xiao Feng was also caught off guard. In the corner of his eye, he saw an old scavenger woman with a burlap sack approach the trash pile by the abandoned building. She seemed to accidentally... sweep those fly-like sentinels into her bag.

For a moment, both Gong Kaishan and Xiao Feng were dumbfounded. It was hard to believe the old scavenger wasn't actually Li Ying in disguise.

Gong Kaishan was surprised at Li Ying's risky yet ingenious method to eliminate the enemy's surveillance.

Xiao Feng's surprise, however, stemmed from wondering if all women possessed this ability.

Lin Jiaxuan once disguised as an elderly scavenger, and now Li Ying was doing the same. Are all women masterful actors?

Meanwhile, the experts inside the abandoned building were frustrated that their screens were going dark one by one, their hearts nearly breaking!

This advanced tech wasn't cheap. A few sweeps had cost them at least three million USD.

"Damn! Who is that old hag?" someone blurted in panic, "Have we been compromised?"

A middle-aged man with slanted eyes said coldly, "Don't panic. Wait and see if she disrupts any other surveillance. Once is chance, twice is destiny."

"The old woman left," reported the person watching the screens, "but suddenly losing so much money is infuriating!"

"No worries, later on two fools will deliver funds to us, so we can absorb this loss."

Outside the building, Gong Kaishan slammed his fist into his palm, "It worked! I never expected Li Ying to come up with such a trick in a crisis."

"Celebrating too soon?" Xiao Feng said nonchalantly from the side.

Gong Kaishan retorted, "How is it too soon? We eliminated the surveillance at the entrance, now we can..."

"Damn!"

Seeing "flies" swarming to the front entrance from elsewhere, Gong Kaishan couldn't help cursing and glancing at Xiao Feng, "Did you know Li Ying's tactic wouldn't work?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "I wondered why your thinking was so simplistic. Those things fly, obviously remote-controlled. Even if you remove some, can't they just replace them?"

"..." Gong Kaishan's face turned dark, feeling annoyed for not warning Li Ying earlier and preventing her from wasting effort and increasing the risk of exposure.

But then realized Li Ying left without a word, so it wasn't fair to blame Xiao Feng entirely.

At this point, Li Ying returned, looking worse for wear. She tossed down the burlap sack, her face grim.

Xiao Feng couldn't ignore things any longer. Although he was only supposed to assist, watching foreigners plot in his country without acting didn't sit right with him.

"For now, there are two options." Xiao Feng held up two fingers.

Gong Kaishan was nearly frantic, "Xiao Feng, just tell us your plan."

"First, rush in at a speed faster than the cameras can capture." Xiao Feng asked seriously, "Can you do that?"

Gong Kaishan and Li Ying exchanged glances, remaining silent, unable to guarantee success.

"What's the second plan?" Gong Kaishan asked, ready to consider alternatives.

Xiao Feng immediately replied, "The second plan is simpler: bring in machines capable of generating strong winds to blow away those fly-like micro-surveillance devices."

Gong Kaishan's eyes lit up, "Right, that's a plan! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Not feasible. If they have spotters stationed on higher floors, the machines approaching would expose us." Li Ying shook her head.

"You're smart now, intelligence back online?" Xiao Feng chuckled softly.

Just then, an off-road vehicle pulled up, stopping right at the abandoned building's main entrance.

Two people stepped out, one tall and one short, both strikingly beautiful.

Seeing the shorter girl, Xiao Feng's brow furrowed, "Lin Jiaxuan?"

Assuming Blood Nightmare's disbandment meant both Lin Jiaxuan sisters left Jiangcheng, Xiao Feng never expected to see them again at this familiar spot.

"You know them?" Gong Kaishan asked, surprised.

After a brief pause, Xiao Feng suddenly said, "I think I understand those foreigners' purpose in Jiangcheng now."

"What purpose?" Li Ying instantly inquired.

"This involves personal privacy. I hope you can keep the information confidential." Xiao Feng, after careful consideration, decided some things were best explained, provided Gong Kaishan and Li Ying agreed to maintain secrecy.
