From the drone initiating its stealthy tracking of Yang Song's luxury yacht below the sea surface until it eliminated Yang Song in the international waters of the Yellow Sea, three hours had passed. It was now ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time, two hours since Yan Fei's chartered flight had taken off from Beijing International Airport.
By this time, Yan Fei had already been flying for close to 1700 kilometers, having entered the airspace above Mongolia. However, the maximum control distance of Yan Fei and the drone was 8000 kilometers. He was now only about 2100 kilometers away from the drone located in the Yellow Sea waters, which hadn't exceeded the maximum control distance, so Yan Fei could still directly control the drone.
