In the President's office, top-ranking generals gathered. Months ago, these generals already received the battlefield reports from Big Macs and heard of Feng Yi's exceptional performances, especially his rescue of Augustins, all while capturing a Vivian. After the Military Department's analysis, the conclusion was that the route Feng Yi chose to infiltrate the Saudi camp was the best one.

But, the story of Feng Yi began a year ago at Wind Thunder Military Academy. Everyone wanted to see this lad raised by Lasso for themselves and figure out who he was.

When considering Big Macs' path to victory, Feng Yi's contributions were crucial. His frontline performance outshone Sky Shadow's deep scheming and Amelia's sheltered upbringing. Feng Yi, a hero of humble origins was exactly what the public wanted.

Exciting the battlefield with his outstanding skills, Feng Yi was the iron-blooded soldier the Federation was missing. For a time, the buzzing president's office was filled with praises for Feng Yi's individual accomplishments...

When the Federation entered complete war preparations, the high ranks had considered promoting a representative figure. It could be a commander, a contemporary famous general, or a top-tier pilot.

Adams hesitated to act because of Feng Yi, believing there was more to him than meets the eye. From his position as the instructor at Wind Thunder Academy to his capture of a high-ranking enemy officer during his infiltration into the Saudi camp, Feng Yi had exceeded all of Adams' expectations. He started to wonder if promoting Feng Yi and deploying him onto the battlefield would lead to more exceptional performances.

At least Feng Yi never seemed to be at a loss. Even when rescuing a prisoner, he damn made sure to take a high-ranking officer hostage. After a heated discussion, all the generals laughed and unanimously agreed to Adams' resolution.

Now, Adams was waiting for Feng Yi to report to him personally and receive his medal. But just as this critical moment, Feng Yi disappeared. This drove Angela mad. Damn it, the Military Department was asking for him, the battleship had just arrived at the spaceport not long ago and now he's gone? Even flipping the battleship over they found no trace of Feng Yi. What were they supposed to do now? If they had known, they should have notified him in advance.

At this moment, Feng Yi had already set his Heavenly Communication system to OFF mode. He couldn't make outgoing calls, nor would he receive any incoming ones. He wanted to wander this piece of untouched land in peace. Of course, his primary mission was to deliver a letter, a task Feng Yi had long remembered at the bottom of his heart.

Straightway he hailed a magnetic levitation cab, following the address in the letter. It led to a rather prosperous city in the Asia Zone,. However, as he entered the residential building, he felt a chill in his heart. The complex was new, the main gate closed. After knocking several times with no reply, Feng Yi, not wanting to disturb the peace, asked Eggy to help him search for related information from the public records.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his final destination—an old residential building in a suburban area. The man who opened the door was about 60 years old.

"Sir, are you a relative of Zhou Yujia?"

"Zhou Yujia..." The elderly man's calm face trembled slightly at these words. He asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Zhou Yujia's comrade."

"Oh, a rare guest! Please come in." The old man immediately pulled Feng Yi, full of smiles, into the room.

Once inside, no matter how much the elderly man protested, Feng Yi forcefully left behind all kinds of gifts he brought. Judging from the living conditions, it wasn't a wealthy family. The furniture inside was vintage, and the room was filled with a sense of age. Feng Yi couldn't help asking, "Sir, do you live here by yourself?"

"My wife went out to buy groceries. We have a rare visitor today. Let me call her right now."

"No need, please don't bother," Feng Yi quickly stopped the old man and stated his purpose—delivering the letter and a visit.

He learned that aside from their child who had sacrificed his life on the battlefield years ago, there was also a young daughter studying abroad. Due to financial constraints, the couple didn't have enough money to send her to a better school but didn't want to hinder her growth, so they sent her to study in Freedom Port at Maraca.

"Maraca Freedom Port..." Hearing this, Feng Yi was taken aback. Although the port was known as a hub of trade, Maraca Freedom Port was also notorious for lawlessness. Lacking protection from a sovereign state, local security depended on a few major forces in the port. It was a genuine survival-of-the-fittest place.

The old man mentioned that a relative lived in Freedom Port, so they could legally send their daughter to study there.

Feng Yi sighed inwardly. Money was a bastard. After dinner, Feng Yi assured the couple that whenever possible, he would go to Freedom Port and offer their daughter some help, their daughter who by age, should not be much younger than Feng Yi.

The couple was delighted. After dinner, Feng Yi pulled out the faded envelope, left some money behind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't have the courage to stay longer. He really wanted to tell the old couple they could consider him their own child, but he dared not make such a promise so easily. Maybe one day, he too would fall in some corner of a battlefield, who knows what the future holds.

After leaving the residence, Feng Yi most wanted to see the ocean for a very simple reason—the sea on Earth was blue. According to the survey from his Heavenly Communication system, there was a body of water 20 kilometers away from him. Without thinking, he raced towards it, leaving footprints on buildings. When he reached the shore, instead of the sea, he found the Songhua River.

Well, a river is fine. Seeing no one around, he quickly jumped in for a swim. Feng Yi was ignorant. Despite the warnings of a dangerous swimming area and strong undercurrent, he paid no heed. He scanned the surroundings, saw no one, quickly stripped off his clothes and plunged into the murky water. The feeling was amazing.

"Eggy, join the Chief for a swim," Feng Yi said, subtly gloating. However, he was instantly rebutted with a terse 'I'm a freaking engine'. Feng Yi was speechless. Alright then, an engine it is.

After swimming half a lap in the Songhua River, he noticed the flickering light of his Heavenly Communication system and realized he had deactivated the OFF function when searching for a nearby body of water, meaning the Military Department could contact him directly.

Answering the call from his system, he soon heard trembling voice on the end. Angela was clearly infuriated by Feng Yi's sudden departure. The daytime news program had already released the hero section of the frontline war report, and the media had been following it closely. But right at this critical moment, you damn dumped the responsibility onto her. Angela's beautiful face was almost dripping water.
