Chapter 2060 - 2061: CluesYang Fei ordered the soldiers of the Fierce Tiger Camp to halt. He and Laura moved to the front of the team to scout the terrain.
In front were two paths: one to the left, the other to the right.
The left path was a mountain road, rugged and uneven.
The right path was relatively flat, suitable for vehicles and horses.
However, regardless of left or right, the road surface had been bombed into unrecognizable terrain.
Thus, it was difficult to discern which route Harlin's squad took to retreat.
Speed is crucial in warfare; choosing the wrong path now would make timely rescue for Harlin impossible.
Even worse, it could lead to missed opportunities and tragic consequences.
Laura and Yang Fei both understood the critical importance of choosing the path correctly at this moment.
Yang Fei squatted down to examine the fresh soil, full of a smoky scent, in this desolate scene.
Even Laura wondered what Yang Fei could discern from the seemingly ordinary soil.
At that moment, Xiang Zuo approached, his face sullen.
"Speed is paramount in warfare; I don't understand what you two are dawdling about here?"
"If the rescue mission fails due to your slow decision-making, I'm not taking the blame."
This guy was clearly unimpressed with Yang Fei and Laura, speaking rather bluntly.
Yang Fei ignored Xiang Zuo, deeply engrossed in observing the road, lost in thought.
After a while, Yang Fei pointed to the right side of the road, issuing a command.
"Order all soldiers, we're taking the right path."
His words were resolute, with a sense of command, which instantly displeased Xiang Zuo.
The chubby guy, if wrong, would face Maggie's wrath for the failed mission.
Xiang Zuo snorted, looking at Yang Fei defiantly.
"How do you know Mr. Harlin fled to the right? What if he took the left mountain path?"
He gestured to the rugged mountain path on the left, speaking frankly.
"Based on my view, Mr. Harlin had only a few followers."
"They would likely escape via the left mountain path, increasing their chances of getting away, so I think we should rescue them there."
Yang Fei stood up, looking at Xiang Zuo evenly.
"You only need to follow orders, nothing more."
Instantly, Xiang Zuo's face flushed with anger.
He was the officer of the Fierce Tiger Camp, holding the rank of Major, while Yang Fei was merely a Lieutenant.
Yet, this minor Lieutenant took no regard of his rank, behaving like a Marshal.
The crucial point was that the Lieutenant had Maggie's authorization, forcing Xiang Zuo to comply despite being a Major.
At that moment, Xiang Zuo felt thoroughly exasperated.
He snorted heavily, reluctantly saluting Yang Fei, then turned to rally the troops for departure.
Laura watched Yang Fei curiously.
"Actually, I agree with Xiang Zuo. If I were Harlin, I would also seek obscure paths for escape."
"The chances of encountering enemies on the main road are excessively high."
Yang Fei snorted.
"It's a pity you're not Harlin. If Harlin were as foolish as you, he would have been eliminated long ago."
Laura knew Yang Fei's temperament; his words could be infuriating when displeased.
Yet she remained calm, watching Yang Fei patiently.
"Are you saying you understand Harlin's thoughts and intentions?"
Yang Fei shook his head.
"I don't need to understand how he thinks; I only know that if Harlin chose the small path, there's no need for us to rescue him; he's doomed."
Laura's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you that confident? Explain it to me."
Yang Fei picked up a branch casually, drawing a simple military map on the ground, using some stones to represent a sand table.
"Take a good look, this left mountain path is rugged and singular."
"Travel another five kilometers, and it's Skyline Canyon; an ideal spot for enemy ambushes."
"If Harlin chose this path, he'd have obstructions ahead, pursuers behind, with no chance of escape."
"This right road, though seemingly prone to enemy pursuit, has many forks, with expansive wilderness."
"Enemies who attempt to encircle Harlin would find it as challenging as climbing the heavens."
Laura seemed thoughtful, murmuring, "I see."
Yang Fei cast a glance at Laura: "Those who cannot plan for a corner cannot plan for the whole picture."
"Harlin, being the leader of the Human Federation Government's think tank, surely possesses keen intelligence, avoiding dead ends."
Saying this, Yang Fei walked forward a bit, picking up a piece of charred soil from the ground.
"If my previous deduction was merely based on logic, this charred soil completely validates my deduction."
He said, placing the charred soil before Laura.
"Take a good look; what distinguishes this soil from the others?"
Yang Fei paused, carefully examining the soil, murmuring.
"Nothing peculiar?"
Yang Fei sighed heavily, finding a piece of fresh soil from the left side, similarly charred by warfare.
He held both pieces of soil, allowing Laura to scrutinize them.
Laura easily discerned the difference.
The right soil, though charred, showed golden hues, devoid of any smoky scent.
Yet the left soil bore heavy smoke and gunpowder aroma.
The soil was blackened from the smoke, clearly singed.
Still, even amidst this, Laura couldn't fathom Yang Fei's meaning.
She stared blankly at Yang Fei, much like a diligent student attending class.
"What conclusion does this soil comparison draw?"
Yang Fei sighed heavily, somewhat helpless.
"The left piece of soil is a trace left by war, possibly scorched by fires, hence blackened by smoke and imbued with gunpowder scent."
"But the right soil wasn't induced by warfare; it resulted from a master unleashing Spiritual Origin Qi, creating explosions."
At this, Yang Fei smiled slightly.
"Remember, Harlin's martial prowess, famed as the Great Brilliance Divine Technique."
"When he unleashes it, it's like Solar True Fire descending, extremely powerful with expansive impact."
"This soil, after being roasted, takes this form."
Laura instantly found conviction, exclaiming with praise.
"Fatty, you're truly a monster to infer so much from mere dirt."
She spoke, widening her eyes at Yang Fei.
"Since you're this perceptive, why not explain to Xiang Zuo?"
I think his resentful expression is truly unpleasant.
Yang Fei snorted lightly, speaking nonchalantly.
"A soldier's duty is to obey orders; Xiang Zuo should focus on executing tasks; do I need to explain anything?"
Laura's lips moved slightly, anticipating to speak, only to realize she had nothing to say.
She sighed deeply, murmuring.
"You're a truly terrifying monster."
