The two elders left, and He Zhijun left as well. Section Chief Zhou and Cat Head's people also departed.
They had come in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving behind only the members of Dog Head Group B and a company-sized unit from the Special Forces Regiment.
Other than them, all the outer perimeter guards had withdrawn, and the residents of the nearby towns gradually returned.
The War Wolf commander who had remained behind immediately went underground to introduce himself to Guo Yi.
"Hello, I'm Li Zhijun, captain of First Company, Special Field Regiment."
"This is Yu Fei, captain of First Squad."
"This is Shao Bing, the deputy captain."
"And these are Shi Sabba, Brick, and Leng Feng."
"For the time being, we'll be taking over the security around this place!"
Li Zhijun's company was the unit ordered to stay behind.
At that moment, Li Zhijun led the members of First Squad underground to greet Guo Yi.
"Mm."
Guo Yi answered coldly, then picked up Doggie and headed toward the Gundam.
In contrast to Guo Yi's indifference, Forest Wolf warmly stepped forward, saluted, and shook hands. "Hello, I'm Forest Wolf. They're Siberian Wolf, Evil Wolf, Mountain Wolf, Big-tailed Wolf, and Bald-tailed Wolf."
"We'll be counting on you to handle the outer perimeter security from now on!"
"You're welcome." Li Zhijun shook Forest Wolf's hand, then said with a wry smile, "Looks like the owner doesn't welcome us. We'll head up first, then."
"He's just a kid, don't take it to heart." Forest Wolf led the War Wolf team away and explained, "Geniuses always have a few odd quirks."
"Besides, while we say we're here for security, there's still an element of surveillance involved."
"He understands that too, so the kid's throwing a tantrum."
"Mm, I understand." Li Zhijun nodded and said to Forest Wolf at the entrance, "No need to see us off. Go keep an eye on him."
"Alright."
Forest Wolf and the War Wolf members saluted, then went over to Guo Yi.
At that moment, more than a dozen exploded-view diagrams of the Gundam floated before Guo Yi, showing it from every angle and at different structural layers.
Following Guo Yi's gestures, elements on the blueprints were constantly being deleted and added.
Even the exterior was being adjusted accordingly based on the placement of various equipment and wiring.
"What are you doing?"
Ostrich's eyes were nearly dizzy from all the constantly shifting images, and he could not help asking.
"Modifying the design blueprints," Guo Yi replied casually. "These blueprints were designed according to my specifications, but they'll definitely need to be mass-produced later."
"So I need to redesign a universal model for you to use!"
"Otherwise, no one but me can operate this Gundam. You're all too weak!"
"Heh, we're special forces! We can fly through the sky, burrow through the earth—we can do anything!" Ostrich boasted exaggeratedly at Guo Yi's disdainful look.
"..."
Guo Yi merely glanced at him, his eyes clearly telling Ostrich: Weaklings should keep quiet!
"Hehe~ Enough, Ostrich." Seeing Ostrich's furious expression as he prepared to roll up his sleeves and prove himself, Shi Dafan hurriedly stopped him. "Someone says your brain capacity is small, and you refuse to accept it."
"You're competing with a scientist over physical strength. Shouldn't you first earn a few doctorates and add the title of national scholar before you're qualified..."
"My temper's about to blow! That's occupational discrimination!"
"It's not discrimination. It's the truth." Without even turning around, Guo Yi continued modifying the blueprints as he spoke to the Lone Wolf team. "I'm not joking."
"Your physical fitness really is weak!"
"No matter how intelligent or advanced a machine is, in the end, it still has to be operated by a person!"
"Especially a Gundam!"
"If you want to maneuver a Gundam flexibly within the atmosphere, then without the corresponding physical fitness, it's all pointless!"
"Enough, Ostrich." Geng Jihui looked at Ostrich's unconvinced expression and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you two acting like some new comedy duo?"
"You don't believe me?" Guo Yi looked at the Lone Wolf members, stopped what he was doing, and took off his shirt. "Medic, when I read your file, I remember you came from a family of doctors and martial artists."
"How about we spar?"
Guo Yi's perfectly proportioned muscles appeared before them, and the Lone Wolf members hurriedly shook their heads.
Shi Dafan, in particular, looked both amused and helpless. Shaking his head, he told Guo Yi, "No, no, no. I'm no match for you!"
They were too perfect!
To the Lone Wolf members, Guo Yi's muscles were simply too perfectly proportioned. Their first impression was that they had been deliberately sculpted in a gym.
Though Guo Yi's muscles were not as hugely bulging as a bodybuilder's, neither were they small and compact like theirs.
As a result, none of the Lone Wolf members had any desire to spar with Guo Yi.
After all, gym-built bodies were cultivated and trained through a systematic combination of diet, rest, and exercise, making the muscles look well-defined and three-dimensional, with sufficient contraction strength—in other words, enough pushing and pulling power.
But the muscles lacked internal toughness and elasticity, meaning their explosive power was insufficient. Their pushing and pulling strength also could not produce obvious destructive force or agile, swift movements, so they could not deliver punches and kicks as "powerful" and "nimble" as those trained in combat sports.
Simply put, in the eyes of Lone Wolf, Guo Yi was nothing more than a husky wearing a tiger's skin.
"..."
Guo Yi narrowed his eyes at the expressions on Lone Wolf's faces and clicked his tongue.
Then he stomped his foot, and with a whoosh, his entire body shot right up in front of Shi Dafan.
Baji Quan · Top Heart Elbow!
One foot stepped between Shi Dafan's legs as he bent his arm and viciously drove his elbow into Shi Dafan's chest.
Bang~
Shi Dafan overlapped his palms and blocked Guo Yi's elbow strike, using the momentum to fly backward.
Then Shi Dafan stared at Guo Yi with terror on his face and shouted shakily, "Were you trying to kill me?"
Shi Dafan could not help being alarmed. The palms that had blocked Guo Yi's elbow were already trembling slightly.
Shi Dafan strongly suspected that if he had not instinctively blocked it and simultaneously yielded the force by flying back, that elbow would have stopped his heart!
Clatter~ Click~
After Guo Yi and Shi Dafan exchanged blows, the others from Lone Wolf instinctively raised their guns.
"Lower your weapons! Lower your weapons! Lower your weapons!"
Geng Jihui froze for a moment with his weapon raised, then hurriedly called out to everyone.
"You..."
Guo Yi withdrew his stance and gave them a contemptuous look. "Genetics is a branch of science, and human movement is even more so!
How many scientific principles are there in National Martial Arts?
Someone even used mathematics to map out every move in Wing Chun!
What makes you think my muscles are just for show?"
"Don't fear thugs—fear educated thugs?" Ostrich swallowed and suddenly summed it up in one sentence.
Guo Yi's mouth twitched. Then he clenched his fists and walked toward Ostrich. "I think I should spar with you!"
"No!" Ostrich hurriedly shook his head.
This time, it was not that he looked down on Guo Yi—he simply could not afford to provoke him!
Outsiders watched the excitement; insiders saw the skill.
That strike from Guo Yi just now had displayed his physical abilities to the fullest.
Speed, strength, fighting ability—every one of them was top-tier.
He was even stronger than them!
If Ostrich challenged Guo Yi to a one-on-one fight now, he would truly have lost his mind.
Whether he could win was one thing. The important thing was that once they started fighting, neither of them would be able to hold back!
Then it would no longer be a matter of whether he would get beaten up or confined—it would be that if he accidentally injured Guo Yi, he could strip off his uniform and go work as a doorman!
"So National Martial Arts is science too... so you know National Martial Arts as well?" Shi Dafan rubbed his palms and asked Guo Yi with mixed feelings, "Can you dismantle a Gundam barehanded?"
