Chapter 1209 Top-Tier Hide-and-Seek Competition

"Where are you going?"

"Qin Feng called and asked us to come and inspect the results."

"Accept the results?"

The chief of staff was driving the jeep.

Lei Kaiwen, looking quite relaxed, sat in the passenger seat.

"Old Lei, I have a feeling you've had a very comfortable time these past two weeks?"

"Have it?"

Lei Kaiwen twisted his neck, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Not bad, right?"

The chief of staff looked at him with surprise: "You call this 'okay'? I've known you for so long, when have I ever seen you with a smile on your face, let alone for so long?"

Lei Kaiwen laughed: "No, before, I had to keep an eye on the training. If the performance dropped even slightly, or if something went wrong during the mission, I had to worry about it."

"To be honest, I've only been able to get a decent night's sleep these past few days."

"Ah, it feels so wonderful to not have to worry about anything and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."

At the traffic light intersection, the chief of staff stepped on the brakes and said worriedly, "Half a month has passed, and there's still no news from over there. Aren't you worried at all?"

"worry about what?"

"Are you worried that Qin Feng will be trained by those wild leopards to become a domestic cat?"

The chief of staff's thinking is still relatively old-fashioned.

I always feel that during the grueling week training, what if something goes wrong if I don't keep an eye on things?

With the National Special Forces Competition just two days away, it would be a real embarrassment to falter at this crucial moment.

Lei Kaiwen was quite relaxed about it: "At this point, there's no use worrying. Besides, we should trust those we employ and not employ those we don't trust. The higher-ups sent Qin Feng to supervise the training, so they must trust him."

"With the leader's careful selection, what else could I possibly worry about?"

"Furthermore, from the Steel Knife Battalion to the Combined Arms Brigade, then to the 112th Reinforced Regiment, and the recent live-fire exercise, Qin Feng has always delivered a perfect performance."

The chief of staff gave a wry smile: "That's what he said, but he's always led conventional troops. Special forces are fundamentally different..."

"Alright, alright, stop being so discouraging. We'll find out everything when we get there, won't we?"

"By the way, which way do we go?"

"I've given you directions, go here."

"Isn't this the abandoned military headquarters compound in XX County? How did it end up there?"

The chief of staff was quite surprised by the location; it had been abandoned for a long time and was a desolate place.

There are hardly any people stationed there on weekdays; the militia are only trained occasionally. The infrastructure is in terrible condition.

He simply couldn't understand why Qin Feng would bring people to such a godforsaken place for training.

Lei Kaiwen shrugged. He didn't really understand either. Qin Feng didn't reveal any specific details, but just told him to come and check the results.

......

Forty minutes later, the car finally arrived at its destination: a local People's Armed Forces Department.

The gate of the People's Armed Forces Department was dilapidated, and the lettering on the paint had peeled off and faded.

Even the gate was covered in rust, and there was a badly rusted broken chain on the ground.

As the car slowly drove in, a desolate and bleak scene came into view; the open space was covered with weeds, and large areas of the tiles on the flagpole had fallen off.

If Qin Feng hadn't informed them of the inspection, they would have thought this place was a location for filming some kind of apocalyptic movie.

They turned off the engine, got out of the car, and Qin Feng was already waiting for them in front of the building.

"Director Qin!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The two men saluted Qin Feng.

Although his rank insignia was the same as Kevin Lei's, both being senior colonels.

However, in terms of position and rank, Qin Feng was much higher than him, the captain.

"Where is he?" Lei Kaiwen rubbed his hands together. "When is the inspection?"

"Right now."

"Now."

"Correct."

Lei Kaiwen turned his head and looked around, but the place was empty, not even a ghost in sight.

What can you inspect? What's there to inspect?

The chief of staff spoke up first: "Director Qin, please stop teasing us and quickly make a call to bring them here."

Qin Feng shook his head: "I said, there are thirty soldiers, not one more and not one less. But you have to find them yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and immediately understood what it meant.

Disguise and infiltration?

That's interesting!

No wonder they were called here for the inspection; it turns out they wanted them to find the people themselves!

Both Lei Kaiwen and the chief of staff were veteran reconnaissance soldiers with a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance. What difficulty could there be in finding thirty people within this limited area?

"Okay, let's get started."

"Director Qin, please give us a timer."

"We also want to see how well you've fared in your training over the past two weeks!"

The two men's words had two meanings. On the one hand, they hadn't personally participated in grassroots training for a long time and were somewhat eager to try it out.

Secondly, we need to inform Qin Feng in advance that if we find the person quickly, then the acceptance results will be considered unqualified.

If Lei Bao fails to achieve good results in the competition, you will bear the primary responsibility.

Qin Feng smiled, took out a stopwatch and started timing, indicating that they should search carefully.

Lei Kaiwen smiled slightly and walked straight to a large bonsai on the right.

There should have been a cycad planted here, but it has completely died, though the large pot underneath is still there.

There's more than enough space to hide someone!

"Come out."

"Stop hiding, I've seen you."

Lei Kaiwen confidently reached out to grab it, but the basin was full of nothing but soil; there was no one hiding there at all.

Lei Kaiwen was a little embarrassed by his unsuccessful start, but he turned around, pointed at Qin Feng, and said with a smile.

"A smokescreen, isn't it?"

Qin Feng shrugged, said nothing, and simply told him to continue.

Having suffered a setback the first time, the two of them became serious this time.

However, after searching inside and outside the building, the two found absolutely no trace of it.

This is unreasonable and unscientific!

Even the most skillful disguise and infiltration will always leave some traces of human intervention!

Realizing that these people had been in seclusion for a full half month and might have learned something new, Lei Kaiwen and his companion began to take the matter seriously.

They each found a wooden stick, and whenever they found something suspicious, they would immediately start tapping and striking it.

Floor tiles, floorboards, walls, and even the broken aluminum ceiling panels—anywhere that could potentially hide someone was thoroughly searched.

More than forty minutes passed, and the two veteran scouts still hadn't found anything. They even began to wonder if Qin Feng was deliberately playing a trick on them.

"Qin Feng, you can't just fool people like that, can you?"

"Those guys aren't even here. Aren't you just trying to fool us?"

"You've come all this way just to amuse us, that's a bit inappropriate!"

Qin Feng put away his stopwatch and said with a smile, "You two came up empty-handed. It seems this training camp was quite successful."

"What do you mean?"

"The people have always been here."

"Where is it? Can you conjure one up for us to see?"

"Beep, beep beep beep—"

Qin Feng didn't waste any time and took out his whistle, blowing it loudly.

The next second, the once lifeless People's Armed Forces Department seemed to come alive, with the grass, walls, and tiles all moving.

The flower bed behind Qin Feng, which was as big as a water vat, was slowly moved aside, and Zhuang Ping and Long Tianye emerged from the ground covered in dust, looking like two large ground squirrels.

"Huff, huff, huff... I'm suffocating!"
