Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 942 - 474: Who Goes There? (Part 2)
Lin Beichen nodded gratefully.
Xia Luyao stood aside, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Though she worries about Lin Beichen, she also knows that his decision is not easily changed.
"And you? What are your plans?" Xia Luyao couldn't help but ask.
Lin Beichen took a deep breath, looked resolutely ahead, and said, "Since they dared to come for me, I'll wait for them here. Some things must be concluded."
Xia Luyao and Leng Feng exchanged a look, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
But they understand this is Lin Beichen's choice, and they can only respect it.
"Be sure to be careful." Xia Luyao reminded him one last time.
Lin Beichen nodded, then turned and walked towards a corner of the campsite.
He needs to calm down and prepare for the upcoming challenge.
...
Not long after, Xia Luyao led the Venomous Snake Special Team members to retreat first. Leng Feng also followed closely with the other members of the Wolf King Special Team. In the campsite, only Lin Beichen remained.
He sat quietly, fiddling with three copper coins in his hands, silently calculating the impending disaster.
Although he is prepared, he can't help but feel some sentiment in his heart.
Can this calamity be safely overcome?
As time ticked away, Lin Beichen's mood gradually became tense.
He knows what he is about to face may be a battle of life and death.
But no matter what, he will never back down.
Because he knows there are things that must be faced. Regardless of the outcome, he won't regret his choice.
"Lin Beichen, Captain Xia, we need to move quickly; everyone is waiting." Members of the Venomous Snake Special Team came over, urging the two.
Xia Luyao turned to them and concisely relayed Lin Beichen's warning to everyone.
Upon hearing Xia Luyao's account, Flame immediately stated: "Lin Beichen, you shouldn't say that. We are a team, how could we leave you when you need us?"
"Exactly, Lin Beichen, at this crucial moment, we will definitely fight alongside you." Old Dao and Flying Eagle, among others, also expressed their determined support.
They are comrades of a special operation team, partners who have endured life and death trials together.
Now that Lin Beichen faces danger, how could they sit by and let him face difficulties alone?
Faced with everyone's serious and determined attitude, Lin Beichen was momentarily speechless.
He originally didn't want to implicate others, not expecting to spark stronger unity among them.
"Actually, the situation might not be as dire as you imagine. I am confident in handling it."
Lin Beichen tried to ease everyone's worries, having enough confidence to deal with the adversary no matter how fierce they were.
"That's out of the question; we're not ones to abandon a friend in need!" Wild Ox immediately retorted, resolute in their refusal to leave when Lin Beichen needed them.
Xia Luyao nodded to Lin Beichen, saying: "Alright, don't overthink it. We'll retreat as planned. If anything happens, we'll face it together!"
"The captain is right!" Other members of the Venomous Snake Special Team echoed.
Just as Lin Beichen was about to say something, a mocking voice suddenly came from beside him: "Oh, the Venomous Snake Special Team began dabbling in superstition now?"
Everyone turned to see members of the Wolf King Special Team.
Long Chuzhi, disgruntled at losing to Xia Luyao once more, couldn't help but sneer upon hearing their talk of "fortune-telling" and "disasters with bloodshed."
"Captain Xia, when did you become so superstitious?" Long Chuzhi chuckled, disdainfully questioned.
Xia Luyao shot him a cold glance, resolutely saying: "This isn't superstition."
"Not superstition? Then what is it? Does Captain Xia really believe such nonsense will come true?" Long Chuzhi continued to mock.
"Certainly." Xia Luyao stared him down, her voice unwavering.
She has absolute faith in Lin Beichen's abilities, believing his predictions are far from empty talk.
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King Special Team's members burst into laughter, as if having heard something hilarious.
However, at that moment, a gunshot suddenly pierced the air!
"Bang!" A live bullet came whistling through the air, targeting Lin Beichen!
In the stunned gaze of everyone, Lin Beichen's figure flashed, dodging the bullet's attack.
The bullet hit the wooden box behind him, leaving a smoking bullet hole.
This scene left everyone alarmed, their eyes full of shock.
"It's live ammunition!" Wolf King Special Team's Ma Hong cried out.
This bullet was deadly live ammunition, utterly different from the blanks used during their exercises.
"Everyone, take cover!" Lin Beichen shouted, and everyone immediately scattered to find hiding spots.
"What's going on?" Long Chuzhi asked, astonished.
How could they come under attack by live fire?
"I told you there would be a disaster with bloodshed and you didn't believe it, now look what happened? You've dragged yourselves into it!" Wild Ox remarked mockingly.
The Wolf King Special Team members were stunned; could the so-called "disaster with bloodshed" truly have come true?
"Who exactly are they? How dare they attack special forces soldiers within Huaxia!"
Long Chuzhi asked with a tense demeanor. Lin Beichen frowned slightly, solemnly said: "They should be mercenaries from outside the country!"
"What? Mercenaries?" Everyone was astounded.
But they soon realized, those daring enough to carry firearms and engage them inside Huaxia could only be rogue mercenaries.
"Forget about that, quickly contact the soldiers from the Third Brigade! They shouldn't be far!" Xia Luyao decisively said.
Mercenaries daring to rampage on their land is no longer just Lin Beichen's personal matter.
It's a provocation to Huaxia!
"Understood!" Flying Eagle promptly responded and quickly used the communications device to contact the Southwest Defense Zone Third Brigade's soldiers to report the situation.
"Captain, we've reached the Third Brigade; they'll send reinforcements soon!" Flying Eagle reported.
"Good." Xia Luyao nodded, but still felt uneasy.
Right now, they have no live ammunition weapons, and if a conflict arises, they will be at a severe disadvantage.
As Xia Luyao is hastily contemplating a strategy, Lin Beichen suddenly hands her something.
"What's this?" Xia Luyao asked, puzzled.
"Have you heard of the Eight Array Diagram?" Lin Beichen asked Xia Luyao in a calm tone.
Xia Luyao showed a surprised expression,
"Eight Array Diagram? Do you mean that ancient military formation?"
Her gaze fell on the diagram Lin Beichen handed her, meticulously depicting an Eight Array Diagram.
"Yes, that's it. But I've only briefly glimpsed it in books and on TV, not studied it in depth." Xia Luyao candidly said.
"Then do you know the purpose of my Eight Array Diagram?" Lin Beichen further inquired.
Xia Luyao pondered for a moment, tentatively answering: "You intend to use this formation to deal with those mercenaries?"
"Exactly." Lin Beichen nodded affirmatively and detailed, "You need to position stones in specific locations as indicated on the diagram. This way, we can establish a defensive position."
Upon hearing this, Xia Luyao looked at Lin Beichen's resolute and composed gaze. Though somewhat confused, she opted for trust; after all, in the past, every one of Lin Beichen's 'fantastic' actions eventually came to fruition.
Thus, under the cover of the tent, Xia Luyao and the Venomous Snake Special Team members began to busy themselves, following Lin Beichen's diagram to find stones and set them.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen presented another identical diagram to Long Chuzhi nearby.
Long Chuzhi looked at the diagram in his hand, disdainfully saying: "Stuff from TV shows, and you're trying to fool us with it?"
Lin Beichen was not angered, calmly responding: "It's up to you to believe or not. But now, this is our only way out."
After saying this, he turned to help the Venomous Snake Special Team members lay stones.
Members of the Wolf King Special Team watched this scene, showing disdainful and mocking smiles.
However, when Leng Feng suggested helping, they began to waver.
