The 2017 sequel to Wolf Warrior.
After the events of the first movie, Leng Feng returns Yu Fei's remains to his hometown. After getting in a fight with a corrupt real estate tycoon and his thugs, Leng Feng is imprisoned and discharged from the army. After being released, he travels to an unspecified African country where he works as a mercenary and gets caught up in a civil war.
While there, he volunteers to rescue a Chinese doctor from a local hospital and clashes with Big Daddy, the leader of the European mercenary group Dyon Corps working for the rebels. When the operation to rescue the doctor went awry, he opts to assist in the evacuation of a Chinese-run factory, while escorting a young girl who might be the only hope to ending the Lamanla outbreak plaguing the country to safety.

- Infection Scene: The car Leng, Rachel and Pasha rode on after the hospital escape scene lands upside-down right on what appears to be an open mass grave for Lamanla victims, where Leng's wounded arm just happens to be in the vicinity of one of the corpses while getting out of the car, exposing his wound to the virus.
- Insignia Ripoff Ritual: Done to Leng Feng after he's sent to prison for assaulting a real estate tycoon.

- Poisoned Weapon: Leng creates a wooden crossbow that fires poisoned bolts while liberating the factory that was taken over by the revolutionary army.

Unfortunately, pointing this out gets him killed by Dyon Corps, with his second-in-command taking his place agreeing to help in stopping Leng by all means even if it means incurring the wrath of a foreign nation.
- Private Military Contractors: Leng Feng's job after getting discharged from the army. The foes he goes against are a group of mercenaries called Dyon Corps as well.

Rachel had to spell it out to Zhuo when he says he calls the sound of gunfire a pretty sight:Rachel, showing a picture of the refugees of war to Zhuo: Will the sound of gunfire be a pretty sight if you're in that situation?
- Drilling this point home to the PLA navy by witnessing a broadcast of the revolutionaries' massacre of fleeing factory personnel as Leng's standoff against the revolutionary army crumbles is what motivates the navy to launch a missile strike to destroy the revolutionary army closing in on the factory.
- The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Dr. Chen, who has the knowhow to develop the vaccine for Lamanla, gets killed by the rebels as he tries to attack one of the them from behind.
