Top Warzone Analyst Chapter 41

The senior always left people speechless.

Cheng Feng, thinking that the senior was after all an upperclassman and deserved some respect, added a couple of sentences, “Getting infected with the virus is dangerous. People go hungry without food. So we need to step up and complete the mission.”

Song Zheng maliciously chimed in, “I get it. People aren’t happy without talking nonsense.”

Shen Dan also threw in a perfunctory remark. “The search scope includes both living and non-living things. Everyone should focus on these two points.”

The senior: “…” Why were they roasting him like this?

In another car, the senior chuckled and said, “You freshmen…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the car jolted violently. His words twisted into a curse, drowned out by an unidentified loud crash. Immediately after, panicked shouts erupted through the earphones, accompanied by the chaotic sounds of collisions.

Cheng Feng had a poor view and couldn’t see what the attacking weapon was or which direction it came from. Startled by the overwhelming noise, she quickly grabbed her seatbelt. While fastening it, she tilted her head and peered through the gaps between the seats to observe the battle up ahead.

The lead armored vehicle was swerving out of control on the road, its tires screeching loudly against the asphalt as they skidded diagonally.

Due to the distance, it was impossible to accurately gauge the enemy’s trajectory, but judging by the relentless “rat-a-tat-tat” of gunfire, bullets were hammering against their windows like rain, most of them concentrated in the immediate vicinity.

Seeing the front vehicle preparing to pull over to the roadside, Cheng Feng immediately shouted, “Don’t stop! Keep moving forward!”

The driver in the front row, who had already pressed his foot on the brake in preparation to coordinate with the first squad for a counterattack, eased up slightly upon hearing the command, slowing down just enough to follow behind.

Cheng Feng said, “Right, we keep moving forward too.”

Even though they knew the windows were bulletproof, the sheer impact of bullets slamming against the glass right in front of their faces was no small thing.

The driver of the front vehicle had sweat soaking his palms; even through his gloves, he could feel the steering wheel slipping. One of the tires had blown, causing the vehicle to tilt. Relying on his skill, he struggled to straighten the wheel, steeled himself, and floored the accelerator, charging straight into the hail of bullets.

“I’m trusting you on this, little freshman!” the young man declared solemnly. “If I die in action, remember my glorious name – Li Qing!”

Just as he finished voicing his “regret,” several smoke bombs were dropped at the intersection ahead. Billowing smoke instantly engulfed their entire field of vision, and at the same time, the intense gunfire hammering against the vehicle subsided by half.

“Whoa, hell!” This sudden turn of events threw both drivers off. “The GPS is useless now. How are we supposed to drive?”

“Hit the gas!” Cheng Feng unbuckled her seatbelt, which she had just fastened moments ago. “This is a main road – just go straight! Slow down, but drive carefully.”

Song Zheng gripped the handle by the door, dumbfounded. “There wouldn’t happen to be an ambush ahead, would there? We’re not going to get wiped out right after landing, are we?”

“There probably isn’t an ambush. Their people have mostly pulled back already. If they had more numbers, they wouldn’t need to resort to underhanded tactics like this just to deal with two vehicles.”

Cheng Feng picked up her rifle and went a step further by directly opening the window, aiming the barrel into the vast expanse of white fog.

“Turn on the roof fan.” Adjusting her position, she knelt half on the seat, put on her detection goggles, covered her mouth and nose, and spoke with unwavering calmness. “I’ll provide cover. You push forward.”

The senior bent over, searching the control panel for a moment before finally pressing the fan switch.

The gust of wind whipped up, dispersing some of the encroaching white smoke, though the effect was minimal.

“Are you serious?” He also grabbed his rifle, twisting his upper body to face Cheng Feng. “You think you can land a shot blindly in this? What is this, a sci-fi movie?”

Cheng Feng remained unmoved and said calmly, “As long as they dare to show their heads, I’ll definitely be faster than they are at pulling them back.”

The gunfire remained intense, the frequency so rapid that Cheng Feng even wondered if their gun barrels might burst from the heat.

The armored vehicle was a relatively obvious target, and the other side seemed to be banking on blind firing as well, trying to force them to stop and buy some time.

The senior said nervously, “We should close the window. The smoke might be toxic.”

Cheng Feng replied, “Just a little longer.”

As the distance gradually closed, the detection goggles finally caught a faint trace of red light. Cheng Feng immediately pulled the trigger, chambering and firing in one smooth, fluid motion, sweeping across the area as she adjusted her aim.

Whether she had hit anything, nobody knew for now. But the frequency of gunfire on the right side had indeed diminished – seemingly, the show of force had been intimidating enough.

Cheng Feng rolled up the window, slowly let out a breath, and propped the rifle against her foot. Meeting everyone’s gaze, she casually waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s move – accelerate and push through the smoke.”

Shen Dan was at a loss for words. “Uh…”

She had just pulled off a display that no one was entirely sure about, but it sure looked impressive.

Cheng Feng said, “The main point is to let you know – you’ll always have a very powerful backup.”

You can always count on the little robot!

In the car, there were three underclassmen, a driver who was basically just a tool, and a senior who had just been schooled and didn’t dare speak rashly.

So for the moment, no one dared to roast her.

…

“See that?”

In the viewing room, the instructor stood with his arms crossed, looking smugly at the students below. “The freshman I recommended – solid, isn’t she?”

From the omniscient perspective of the footage, it was clear that Cheng Feng had indeed hit her targets. She had successfully killed two enemies and severely wounded another.

Separated from her targets by thick smoke, relying only on faint detection light, she had seized a fleeting moment to hit enemies hiding behind windows hundreds of meters away. Such skill stirred a ripple of excitement among the juniors and seniors present.

But in truth, Cheng Feng’s shooting accuracy was rather mysterious.

Her hit rate for fixed-point shooting was what it was. Add various constraints, pile on layers of difficulty – and her hit rate remained exactly what it was.

Compared to her control over the gun, her exceptional dynamic vision was even more astonishing.

The instructor stood lazily, speaking arrogantly: “I vouched for her, get it? Don’t underestimate her just because she’s young and only 1.6 meters tall – she can jump higher than any of you!”

In the back row of the classroom, Xiang Yunjian quietly made a note of this.

Cheng Feng is actually 1.63 meters. Shrinking her by three centimeters for no reason –she’d come back looking for a fight.

…

The two drivers navigated blindly for a stretch of road, their vehicles scraping against the guardrails a few times. After mustering their courage and fumbling forward for a while, they finally emerged from the smoke’s coverage, able to vaguely make out the road ahead.

The enemy fire had completely ceased.

The air, now devoid of the eardrum-rattling gunfire, settled into an unsettling quiet.

With the view clear, scattered bricks and rubble along the streets came into sight. Streetlights hung dimly in the overcast sky, and the surroundings felt as desolate as an abandoned, decaying town.

The area had already been bombed, with residents and soldiers alike evacuated. Just as Cheng Feng had said, only a few scattered enemy troops likely remained in the city. The main forces had largely withdrawn, making it safer the deeper they went.

Song Zheng applauded and praised, “Sister is amazing!”

Cheng Feng adjusted the volume of her earphones and said, “The screams from you 1.8-meter hunks nearly deafened me.”

The group felt a bit embarrassed, not really wanting to admit that their earlier reaction was their true level. Li Qing quietly clarified, “Our average height is 1.85 meters.”

Cheng Feng’s irritation was piqued by his comment. “Is being 1.85 meters such a big deal? Does it give your whining extra power or something?”

“Hey, you!” Li Qing gripped the steering wheel tightly and weakly protested, “Can you not lose your temper for no reason?”

“We’re almost at the hospital,” Cheng Feng said, letting bygones be bygones. “First, we need to establish who’s in charge.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. “You’re in charge. You’re in charge.”

Cheng Feng hummed in acknowledgment and continued, “Be careful, everyone. We’re not sure if there are still soldiers lying in ambush at their stronghold. Since the search scope is quite broad, once we rush into the hospital, we’ll split up according to our current teams. Shen Dan, you’ll provide technical support to them, and make sure to communicate any intel promptly.”

Shen Dan said, “Okay.”

Amid their discussion, the speeding vehicles had already closed in on the target.

The hospital’s main entrance was blocked off with iron fencing. The armored vehicles followed the barrier for a short distance, found a suitable spot, and rammed straight through it with brute force.

The two senior drivers displayed their peak skills as soul drivers – the vehicles shook violently before finally skidding to a halt right in front of the emergency department steps.

Fighting off the dizziness, the group grabbed their rifles and jumped out, peering through the glass doors to assess the situation inside.

After confirming no ambush awaited them, Cheng Feng gestured, and the two teams split off in different directions, charging into the hospital to begin their search.

There were still NPCs inside the hospital. The power had been cut, leaving the interior dim and shadowy.

A group of patients huddled in corners or behind benches, staring at them with terrified expressions.
