Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 964 - 485: You Must Come Back Safe! (Part 2)

She felt proud to have such a strong team member, yet she couldn't help but worry about his journey.

Lin Beichen just chuckled lightly, "With my strength, why wouldn't I be confident?"

Xia Luyao was momentarily at a loss for words, while the other team members crowded around, reminding him to be careful on his journey.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Lin Beichen changed into ordinary clothes, took up his weapon with Leng Feng, and walked toward the military Humvee prepared for them.

Just as he was about to get in the car, Xia Luyao and the others came over.

"Lin Beichen, you must come back safely," said Flying Eagle with deep emotion.

Lin Beichen turned around, smiling as he replied, "Alright, alright, don't get so sentimental. You're giving me goosebumps."

Everyone was amused by his words and decided to stop being so emotional.

Xia Luyao looked at him and suddenly said, "Lin Beichen, hold out your hand."

Lin Beichen looked at her in confusion but still extended his hand.

Xia Luyao took out a small object from her pocket and gently placed it in his hand, with deep blessings and expectations.

"What's this thing?" Lin Beichen asked casually. When he looked down carefully, he was stunned. Wasn't this the protective talisman he had taught Xia Luyao to draw on the plane before?

"This is the protective talisman you taught me to draw on the plane," Xia Luyao awkwardly explained, "Carry it with you, as an extra layer of protection."

Lin Beichen held the protective talisman in his hands, feeling a wave of warmth in his heart.

He didn't expect his little apprentice to be so thoughtful, using what he taught so quickly.

"Don't get too emotional, it's just a little gesture from the captain."

Xia Luyao saw Lin Beichen staring at the talisman in a daze, mistakenly thinking he was moved.

Lin Beichen snapped back to reality, grinning: "I was just thinking if this talisman would even stop a bullet."

Xia Luyao was speechless for a moment, glaring at him and pretending to be angry as she turned her head.

Members of the Venomous Snake Special Team nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xia Luyao glared at them, causing Flying Eagle and others to immediately straighten their expressions and look elsewhere solemnly.

Lin Beichen found Xia Luyao's pretend-angry look funny and ruffled her hair, "Alright, I'll take the talisman. Don't worry, we'll come back safe."

With that, he got into the car.

Leng Feng started the vehicle, driving towards the port.

Watching the car drive away, Flying Eagle and others felt both worried and full of admiration.

Even daring to ruffle the "tigress'" hair, Lin Beichen sure isn't an ordinary person!

Three hours later, a military Humvee sped down the road toward the city center.

Leng Feng drove the vehicle by memory, moving quickly.

As they reached a section of the main road in the city center, he pointed ahead and said, "This is it, we were ambushed here before."

What used to be a dilapidated building was now a ruin after the other side used explosive weapons.

Lin Beichen checked the time, "We have ten minutes to search for clues, then we have to proceed with the evacuation mission."

They swiftly got out of the car and began looking carefully for any clues related to Long Chuzhi amidst the ruins.

However, only broken walls and dust remained, making it exceptionally difficult to find anything.

As Lin Beichen was about to turn to search elsewhere, he caught sight of something in a corner on the ground, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

He walked over and picked up an item to examine it.

It was a bullet engraved with strange markings, completely different from those used by their garrison district.

"Lin Beichen, what did you find?" Leng Feng came over curiously.

Lin Beichen turned and handed the bullet to him, "Look at this bullet."

After scrutinizing it, Leng Feng frowned, "These markings are very odd, I've never seen them before. Our Huaxia Military Region never used such bullets."

Both realized simultaneously that this bullet might belong to the group that ambushed them.

Its peculiar engravings might serve as a clue to track down the terrorists, and eventually, find Long Chuzhi.

So Lin Beichen took a photo of the bullet and sent it to the information team at the Yanjing City Garrison District for investigation.

However, after some searching, they found no additional clues.

Ten minutes later, they had no choice but to head to the Chinese expatriate community and wait for the investigation results... ...

On the way to the expatriate community, both fell into deep thought. Who exactly were those people?

Why ambush the Wolf King Special Team?

Was Long Chuzhi taken by them?

What could their purpose be?

The atmosphere in the car was heavy, until Lin Beichen's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. He picked it up and saw a message from the Yanjing Garrison District Information Group, "The information group says there's no clue related to this bullet."

Leng Feng felt a sinking feeling, "Doesn't that mean our lead is broken again?"

The small lead they painstakingly found was now gone, putting them back at square one.

Lin Beichen shook his head lightly and said in a more natural tone, "The intel team has no records, which doesn't mean this bullet is untraceable. In North Africa, with its frequent conflicts, various organizations sprout up like mushrooms. Perhaps this belongs to one of them, we just haven't encountered them before."

Leng Feng thought Lin Beichen's analysis made sense.

Indeed, in this chaotic land, unknown organizations and weapons were abundant.

The peace and stability of Huaxia left them lacking sufficient understanding of the outside chaos.

Lin Beichen paused briefly and continued, "Later, during the evacuation process, we can ask the local Huaxia residents. Maybe someone knows about this bullet."

Leng Feng nodded in agreement and then drove towards the expatriate community.

...

"We're here." Leng Feng stopped the car and pointed ahead. Here was the Huaxia expatriate community in the city, where most of the Huaxia people lived.

They opened the car doors and walked toward the buildings ahead.

Leng Feng looked at a Chinatown supermarket still open for business, surprised, "In times like this, the supermarket is still open!"

Lin Beichen smiled faintly, "Maybe that's just life. Even in war, people strive to live."

They entered the supermarket and saw quite a few expatriates inside. Lin Beichen directly asked, "Is the owner here?"

Someone responded and called the owner over.

The owner was a middle-aged man, wearing a bright yellow shirt and a dark red coat, with a striking green hat on his head.

Someone jokingly asked, "Boss Qian, why are you wearing a hat in this heat?"

Boss Qian laughed, saying he had a bad perm yesterday, so he wore a hat to cover it up.

Lin Beichen looked at Boss Qian, directly stating the purpose of their visit, "You must be the owner here, right? Please gather your things quickly and notify the nearby Huaxia residents to prepare for evacuation. The situation here isn't looking good."

Boss Qian appeared dismissive, "Evacuate? Are you joking? My business is running as usual. Making money is what matters."

Leng Feng emphasized seriously, "We're not joking. The situation is critical. A large-scale conflict could break out at any time. The Huaxia Military has begun evacuation operations. We must ensure the safety of all Huaxia residents."

However, Boss Qian remained indifferent, laughing.

"Stop scaremongering. I'm telling you, my supermarket stays open, and I'll keep making money!"

He even mentioned that since 3 PM on the 14th of last month, he was no longer considered a Huaxia person, so he didn't need to evacuate.

The two exchanged helpless glances; since Boss Qian refused to leave, they couldn't force him.

So, they decided to notify the other expatriates first.

As they were about to leave the store, Lin Beichen remembered the special bullet and returned to ask Boss Qian if he had seen it before.

Boss Qian glanced at it and shook his head, saying he hadn't seen it.

They felt disappointed and were about to ask further when a loud explosion suddenly came from outside.

Fear and panic filled the supermarket, and customers screamed, covering their ears.
