Man proposes, God disposes. Although Feng Yi had run countless simulations of the evacuation route, he still felt apprehensive.

Under the remote control of the lightning table, the 360-degree monitoring equipment was simply decoration. Everyone quickly disappeared behind Feng Yi's lead from Vivian's tent…

Despite the night, the stars' falling glow made the area too bright. The expansive Xius Highlands were densely populated with Saudi sentries and night-shift soldiers.

Feng Yi had no choice but to apply everything he had learned to guide his men out of this predicament through a simulated route. And his men had to trust every decision Feng Yi made, because, without him, probably no one would have made it to the Saudi territory.

He risked his life, not for fame or glory, but because it was a soldier's duty. He didn't want a chain reaction to cause the military's morale to falter if a general were captured by the Saudis. He saluted those brave souls who fell on the battlefield…As for Vivian, she was merely the last card he had to play.

On the route, the team made occasional stops. Feng Yi secretly prayed for God's mercy, and silently killed unlucky outpost sentries along the way. He then stored Saudi weapons within the Space Crystal. Although the assault rifles were useless against the powerful defense of the Mecha, they could still serve as self-defense weapons.

At 0:50, the team finally left the Saudi camp that spanned several kilometers. Now, everyone could communicate freely. Many were sweating, but the real evacuation was just getting started.

Clearly exhausted, Augustins gasped, "Where are we now?"

"We are 400 kilometers away from Stan City on the Xius Plains. The terrain here is high, we need to get off the high ground as soon as possible."

"Do you have a good strategy?"

"I have a strategy, but I'm not sure if it will work. This is the evacuation route I simulated." Feng Yi casually handed a dimly-lit electronic topographic map to Augustins. He had dimmed the light to its lowest to avoid alerting Saudi sentries.

When the others saw what was on the electronic topographic map, the steps of General Augustins and others like Blanche slowed.

Feng Yi marked the escape route in four different colors. The first route was the fastest and most direct, which was very risky.

The second route was relatively safe but it was only safer compared to the first one.

The third route was even safer, employing reverse-tracing and backtracking schemes to create illusions of movement, but it was a long way. As the Saudis' search area expanded, the superiority of this route would wane, making it increasingly dangerous.

The fourth route could hardly be called a route. It extended in the opposite direction to the H2905-B152 coordinate area, which was marked as a large jungle area. But without enough food and if the Saudis decided to pursue them, their presence would inevitably be discovered.

Though Augustins could see no fault in the route, Blanche pointed out that "What we can think of, the enemy generals might also have thought of."

"You're right. I have an Iveco energy vehicle which can squeeze everyone inside. Therefore, I regard the first marked route as the main escape route." Feng Yi paused, then produced a timed, high-intensity lamp, "Apart from that, I have also left this as a temporary lure."

A square-faced officer asked, "You mean, we set the time in advance and turn on the light as a decoy before dawn?"

Before Feng Yi could answer, Blanche chimed in, "When the enemy finds our left-behind lamp, they will surely think they've fallen into our trap and then change their search direction, right?"

"Yeah, you've started to answer for me now."

Blanche smiled in response, at which point a woman's voice intervened, "Quite a plot within a plot. You should go and die."

"If you're awake, just come down."

Feng Yi nonchalantly let go. Everyone only then remembered that he was also holding a female colonel from the enemy as a hostage.

"I'm just an ordinary interrogator. Why are you kidnapping me?" Vivian's voice expressed the fear and unease a woman of her age would have. She was a beautiful woman with a gentle and polite manner. This facade could easily deceive many eyes, causing them to associate her with someone who would use sex to gain power.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Augustins and Blanche turned strange. While others might not be familiar with Vivian, Blanche, being the secretary of confidential affairs, certainly was. However, Feng Yi casually recited Vivian's personal profile.

"Enough." She interrupted him, "Do whatever you like, I won't go back with you." She was calculating in her mind to delay as much as possible. She knew why Feng Yi had kidnapped her and that he wouldn't dare to harm her right now.

"Whether you go with us is not up to you. Just follow us."

"Humph, justice will never compromise. People may die, blood may flow, but Saudi generals will never bow." Vivian's impassioned speech was very determined.

"Oh, please. The Saudi's ambitions have shattered countless families. It's in your best interests to turn from darkness to light. Stop confusing right and wrong, distorting the truth like the others. Captain Vivian, come with us. I don't suppose you want two scars on your beautiful face?"

Vivian turned pale at these words, "You…" Vivian's face flushed.

Under Feng Yi's coercion and intimidation, Vivian finally sighed and let her hair fall loosely, deciding to go with them. She couldn't figure out how he could have possibly breached her heavily-guarded tent: "I'll go with you, but, I want to know how you were able to bypass my numerous surveillance devices and enter my tent."

Vivian's question was also on everyone's minds.

Feng Yi answered simplistically, claiming that it was enough to merely tamper with the surveillance devices, and maybe he was just lucky. As for the secrets of Eggy, he would never disclose them. He then went on to briefly brush off the subject, whether the others believed him or not.
