Before Ling Lan could open her mouth, Meng Shaoran replied lazily, "I'm not going back. Don't you think this place is very exciting?" He pointed at Li Lanfeng who was answering the question given by his juniors patiently. "I will ask him some things later. Brother Shaoyun, are you not interested in Li Lanfeng?"

Ling Lan shook her head immediately. "I want to get into the Mecha Designing Academy…" Her path was different from Li Lanfeng's path. Why would she be interested in him?

"In that case, you should go back alone, our dear future mecha designer." Meng Shaoran knocked on Ling Lan's forehead lightly.

After living together for half a month, they knew what Ling Lan's dream was.

Suddenly, the three of them tensed up. However, very quickly, they relaxed. They looked around curiously. Just now, they felt two killing intents concentrating on them, but it lasted only for a second. Were they discovered?

Only Ling Lan looked as though she didn't sense anything. She pulled Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong who were puzzled before bidding farewell to Meng Shaoran. Then, she left the high-cla.s.s cafeteria.

"Interesting! Li Lanfeng, who did you come back for?" The only person who stayed back, Meng Shaoran, smiled and placed his hand on his chin. He looked at Li Lanfeng as he muttered to himself.

On the way back, Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong said their goodbyes to Ling Lan. Ling Lan hugged Little White while returning to her room.

"Little Four, where are they?" If she was right, the destination of these people was the forest area. It used to be the territory of the upper graders but now, it was forbidden ground. This was an obvious target. Even if the other party knew that it was a trap, they had to take the risk. If not, they would not be able to feel at ease.

Little Four immediately showed her the location of these two people in her mindscape. Ling Lan saw them walking to the training ground. Leng Hanfeng entered a secret room with an instructor and Gu Zhengrong sneaked into the ladies' dormitory. It seemed like he was really going to meet his girlfriend.

After some time, a gentle-looking instructor walked out of the training ground, and at the ladies' dormitory, a cold and arrogant lady with long hair walked out. After strolling around for a while, they sneaked into the forest.

Their appearance and aura were entirely different but Ling Lan could still tell from their behavioral habits that they were Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong.

"Looks like they used all kinds of methods to disguise themselves." Ling Lan touched her chin. It seems like she was not the only one who could act as her roommates were on par with her.

"Boss, one of them must be from the Flying Dragon Special Forces," Little Four said excitedly.

"Maybe not." Ling Lan didn't agree with him.

"Why not?" Little Four asked curiously.

"Look at what other three people are doing and you will know." Ling Lan didn't believe that Su Pei, Xiao Yiqiu, and Meng Shaoran would let go of this opportunity.

As expected, Little Four told her that these three people left the high-cla.s.s canteen one after another. The only difference was, Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu left voluntarily. Meng Shaoran seemed to have noticed their weird actions and followed them out of curiosity.

They were not the only ones who were walking to the forest. All kinds of people in disguises were on the way there. No one wanted to let go of this opportunity so all of them acted together.

"What a perfect baiting plan," Ling Lan said.

"Boss, do you think that the other party did this on purpose?" Little Four asked nervously. If that was the case, do they still have to visit the forest?

"Yes, the other party wanted to use this opportunity to remove all the spies in the school," Ling Lan a.n.a.lyzed the situation calmly.

"This is bad. Don't they know that it is a trap?" Little Four couldn't help but worry for Leng Hanfeng, Gu Zhengrong, and Meng Shaoran. After interacting with them for half a month, he couldn't treat them like strangers anymore.

"They probably know it but they still have to go." Ling Lan took out her toolkit under her bed. There were many tools and metal objects inside. It looked messy but the parts inside could be a.s.sembled into a long-range beam gun, which was newly invented by Chang Xinyuan. Once it is dismantled and is mixed with other metal objects, no one would be able to discern it.

Ling Lan moved quickly. Soon, her hands couldn't even be seen. Her hand speed reached its fastest speed where the naked eyes couldn't follow it.

Soon, a beam gun appeared in her hands. She took off her scout uniform and wore a normal black windbreaker. In the next second, she disappeared from her room.

Just like what Ling Lan said, even though she knew that this was a trap, she still needed to take the risk.

It had been five years since the forest turned into a forbidden ground. Without the tampering of the cadets, the forest became a playground for the wild animals. This was their home now. Yet, today, this quiet forest was barraged with a bunch of uninvited guests. Many birds saw them and started chirping, alerting the residents of the forest of their presence.

Leng Hanfeng entered the forest carefully as the forest was filled with ferocious beasts. For a forest that's within a Scout Academy's compound, this was weird. There must be something amiss with the academy.

After walking for a distance, Leng Hanfeng took out a simple map from his clothes. It was drawn by the people who came before him. A few underground bases were drawn on the map. His current mission was to investigate these suspicious locations.

At another corner of the dense forest, Su Pei took out a map too. He compared it with his surroundings. "Is this the place?"

Xiao Yiqiu had a map in his hands as well. He glanced around him and smiled faintly. Then, he walked towards one of the targets.

Meng Shaoran stealthily followed behind Su Pei. He stood on a branch and watched as Su Pei took out a map. He seemed to be looking for something. Meng Shaoran was confused. He didn't understand why Su Pei had such a map. Su Pei found his destination and started to walk towards it. Meng Shaoran hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow him.

"He has something I don't even have… interesting." Meng Shaoran always did things based on his interest, just like now.

Leng Hanfeng cautiously walked deeper into the forest. He took out his map again to ascertain his position. Suddenly, he leaped up and rolled towards a tree.

Gra.s.s and dirt flew up at the spot he was standing at just now. Leng Hanfeng could feel the cold sweat on his forehead. He sensed that a sniper rifle was aiming at him just now. Luckily, the other party used a not-so-powerful ejection gun as it didn't create too much noise. If he had used a beam gun, this thick tree might have not been able to block the attack.

"I didn't expect the enemies' defenses to be so strong. The moment I got near them, I got discovered." Leng Hanfeng knew that this sniper was a powerful person. He could only feel his killing intent in the instant he fired that shot.

"Since the enemies put in much effort to stop me, I hope that everyone else would have a smoother journey." Leng Hanfeng frowned. He hated fighting with snipers as it was a troublesome task. Fortunately, there was only one sniper so he was still able to handle it.

Leng Hanfeng calmed down and started sensing his surroundings. He confirmed that there was only one enemy.

The sniper afar stared coldly at the tree. He didn't even blink. He was confident that as long as the person peeked out for even a second, he could shoot him accurately. This was the confidence of an outstanding sniper.

There! The sniper saw his opponent rushing out from behind the tree at a fast speed. He then pulled down the trigger.

The bullet seemed to have hit his opponent. However, it just phased through the target and landed on the ground without any bloodstain.

This is bad! The sniper knew that he made a wrong prediction. However, he didn't get agitated. Instead, he aimed his sniper rifle in the other direction and hold down the trigger, waiting for his opponent to show an opening.

"Too late." A cold voice appeared behind him. In the next moment, he felt a sting in his neck. Then, he became unconscious.

Leng Hanfeng gently put down the sniper's body. The force of presence on him was no longer that of the peak of refinement. Instead, it was the peak of Qi-Jin. This was the reason why the sniper made the wrong decision and lost the battle in the end.

While he was closing the eyes of the sniper, Leng Hanfeng felt something targeting him. His expression changed. He immediately disappeared from the spot and tried his best to escape from the danger. The sniper was just a bait. His body had a device that could sense whether he was alive or not. Once they were p.r.o.nounced dead, a formidable character would rush to their position and kill the intruder.

Leng Hanfeng ran quickly. Suddenly, he slowed down and then stopped. He looked at a certain direction with vigilance.

"Not bad!" A middle-aged man walked out from behind a tree. He smiled at Leng Hanfeng.

"Thank you," Leng Hanfeng replied coldly. However, he looked at the other party intently, not missing any movements he made.

"Our boss likes people who are talented. Are you interested in joining us?" The man asked amiably. He seemed to really like Leng Hanfeng. There was no sense of danger coming from him.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." They took such a long time to plan this trap. Hence, Leng Hanfeng didn't believe that they did it just for fun. There must be some huge scheme behind it. There was a high possibility that they wanted to harm Planet Azure as well as the entire Federation. If that was the case, how could he join them?
