Chapter 846: Chapter 846: Critical Land
The sun was high in the sky.
The phone on the bedside table vibrated, waking Li Feng abruptly. Removing the arm draped over him, Li Feng reached for the phone.
The notification sound on Li Feng’s phone had been specifically configured, and this vibration pattern indicated a message from the National Martial Arts Tournament exclusive app.
Li Feng tapped into the app and saw a message appear.
"Please arrive at the following location within the stipulated time."
Then, the app displayed a coordinate map, and the timer started counting down. Seeing this message, Li Feng sat up straight from the bed.
"I have something urgent to do. You’ll have to go back to sleep."
"Could it be the wife coming to catch you cheating?"
Liu Xuan blinked and teased.
Zhou Zhishan turned her head towards Liu Xuan: "What nonsense are you saying, they aren’t even married yet."
Li Feng left the room, immediately called for a car to be prepared, and as he exited the hotel, the doorman handed over the car keys directly to him. Li Feng slid into the car, shifted gears and accelerated in one smooth motion.
In the blink of an eye, the luxury car shot forward like an arrow off the bow.
"Azure Dragon, lock onto the coordinate position."
"Yes, Master."
"Target locked, proceeding with satellite positioning, red alert, this is a restricted area, danger level five stars."
"Restricted area?"
Could the Martial Arts Tournament venue really be placed here?
What are they up to?
Although Li Feng didn’t know what kind of trick the committee was up to, they were definitely causing trouble. Could this be a test of infiltration tactics?
No way.
They weren’t soldiers; they were just a group of national martial arts masters, perhaps good at personal combat, but infiltrating an airport was a joke.
Perhaps, this was a trap.
Even though Li Feng didn’t know what the committee was planning, since they had set a challenge, completing it was all that mattered.
At the same time, the other thirty-five contestants, like Li Feng, also received the same instructions. These individuals had mostly stayed in Sea City over the past few days, waiting for the start of the top thirty-six tournament.
Although it was a bit surprising that the committee only provided a set of coordinates and a countdown, they still complied.
"Driver, could you go a bit faster, we’ll pay extra."
"Alright."
This time, the Xingyi Sect had only three members qualifying for advancement, namely Hua Wushuang, Li Bielang, and Huang Shuyao. After receiving the information, the three hailed a cab to their destination.
The driver took the car towards the outskirts of Huacheng, but as they drove, the driver started to feel confused.
"You three, where exactly are you trying to go? Aren’t you pointing in the wrong direction?"
"No, driver, we’re just following the navigation, it’s this way for sure, just keep driving."
"Driver, we won’t short you on the fare, just drive us to the destination."
The driver glanced at the beautiful girl, Huang Shuyao, sitting in the back. Such a pretty girl couldn’t be a bad person, right? The driver had no choice but to continue driving along the mountain road.
Perhaps their destination was a private villa in the mountains.
The driver continued along the mountain road but soon encountered a sign.
"Damn."
The driver slammed to a halt.
"Driver, why did you stop?"
"What are you kids up to? Are you trying to get me killed? Do you know what this place is!"
"What’s wrong, driver?"
The driver turned to look at the three of them: "Get out of the car, all of you, I’m not taking you any further."
"Driver, what’s going on, what is this place?"
"What place? Do you even know where you’re going? It’s a base, you can’t just trespass freely. Get out now before you get me killed."
The Xingyi Sect’s three members were forced out of the car.
"Senior, the navigation address isn’t wrong, the meeting point is just ahead."
Huang Shuyao checked the navigation map on her phone and bit her lip.
"Damn, what’s the committee up to now, isn’t it enough to have a proper ring? Do they really want us to storm a base?"
"We’re here for a martial arts competition, not military training."
Li Bielang was also gritting his teeth. The committee was simply joking. If it was a martial arts tournament, why not arrange a stadium and have matches there.
Hua Wushuang glanced at the asphalt mountain road leading ahead.
"Perhaps this is part of a test, requiring us to reach this location within the given time, obviously adding some difficulty for us."
"But you don’t play games like this!"
"That’s a base; can people like us even enter?"
"At this point, we have no choice but to take it one step at a time."
"And since the three of us received the same information, that means not only us but others will also face this problem, either we head in now or wait here, maybe others will come."
Huang Shuyao pondered for a moment and said.
Hua Wushuang knitted his brow slightly: "No waiting, we go in first, if this is a test, then the competition may have already started the moment we received the information."
"Given the committee’s nature, it’s not impossible."
Li Bielang also nodded, although it was a headache, he knew they had no choice, and they had to take a risk to go forward.
After reaching a consensus, the three of them continued along the mountain road deeper into the mountains.
"Don’t move!"
The three had barely walked a few hundred meters, still unable to see the end of the road, when several soldiers in camouflage uniforms burst out from one side of the mountain, pointing guns at them.
"Bro, don’t get excited, we’re not bad guys."
Li Bielang quickly spoke up.
"Heh, whether you’re bad guys isn’t up to you to decide. This is a Guard base, unauthorized entry, you’re all under arrest."
"Don’t make any sudden moves, otherwise we won’t be responsible if a gun accidentally goes off."
Faced with soldiers, the three naturally could only surrender, as taking action could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Several soldiers approached and placed hoods over their heads while tying them up with ropes.
One leader blew a whistle, and from a side path, a hidden vehicle drove up.
"Escort them back, the rest continue to maintain vigilance."
Moments later, a few soldiers resumed their positions on either side, continuing to lie in wait.
