Of course, describing it this way is how Feng Yi would explain it in his unenlightened state. Now, it could also be attributed to a potent survival instinct secretly undermining him.
But now it's not just Feng Yi who's worried, there are other brave super soldiers too. They are Hugo and Angelina from the Military Department, Dovir from the family factions, and the mysterious Roland.
At the same time as Mardis's super soldiers were in danger, the four of them also received orders from higher up, to launch a surprise attack on important Saudi military facilities, including the southern command post targeting Mardis.
As for why such an order would suddenly be issued, it's easy to understand. Almost all of Saudi's super soldiers have been sent to Mardis, which indicates that their internal defenses may be very weak. It's a great opportunity for us to ambush Saudi's command post.
