Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 972 - 489: At the Critical Moment (Part 2)
The mercenaries were panicked, some even began to curse.
"What the hell are these things!"
"Get away! Get away from me!"
"Did we really see ghosts? It’s terrifying!"
Just as the words fell, a mercenary was grabbed by her hair by a ghostly apparition, letting out a piercing scream.
"Stop yelling! Shoot now!"
A blonde-haired, green-eyed senior female mercenary, Athena, loudly commanded.
The soldiers immediately raised their guns to shoot, but the bullets passed through the apparitions, hitting the walls, while the apparitions remained unscathed.
Seeing this, the mercenaries were nearly collapsing.
Strangely, the medical staff inside were not attacked by the apparitions. Though they were scared, they saw the apparitions targeting only the mercenaries and the Red Scarf Army, so they took the opportunity to escape to the emergency room, where there was a backdoor to flee.
Bear was busy dealing with the apparitions when he suddenly noticed the medical staff trying to escape, and immediately raised his gun to shoot.
At that moment, a loud noise erupted as a red jeep crashed through the hospital wall, bricks flying everywhere.
The mercenaries scattered to evade, and as the jeep landed, Lin Beichen wielded a submachine gun and fired wildly.
The gunfire was intense, multiple Red Scarf Army and mercenaries were shot and collapsed.
"Take cover!" Bear and Athena quickly assessed the situation, leading their people to evade and counterattack.
Lin Beichen threw two explosive talismans, causing fierce explosions, several mercenaries who failed to dodge were blown to pieces.
Seeing Dr. Chen and the medical staff fleeing to the emergency room, Lin Beichen instructed Leng Feng to drive the car to block the emergency room door.
He chanted spells, commanding the apparitions to retake the guns from the mercenaries.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he and Leng Feng rushed into the emergency room.
Dr. Chen and others were trying to open the backdoor for escape.
Leng Feng immediately stated their purpose: "Dr. Chen, we’re here to rescue you, hurry up!"
Dr. Chen hesitated, worried about the safety of others.
Lin Beichen sternly said: "Time is tight, staying means death!"
He handed Leng Feng an explosive talisman, "You take Dr. Chen first, I’ll cover!"
Leng Feng nodded, pulled Dr. Chen into the car, and gunned the engine to dash out of the hospital.
The summoning array’s power waned, apparitions faded, seeing this, mercenaries raised their guns to shoot, Leng Feng threw an explosive talisman, causing chaos.
After the explosion sounded, they were about to pursue swiftly, but suddenly, a voice came from within the emergency room: "Dr. Chen, we must leave quickly, my partner has successfully drawn them away!"
This voice halted Bear and Athena’s footsteps.
Bear asked with a puzzled look: "Is Dr. Chen over there?"
Athena frowned in thought, "Not sure, it could be a trick, or it could be real."
Dr. Chen might indeed be in that jeep, the voice might just be to confuse them.
Or perhaps, Dr. Chen truly is here, and the other side wants them to mistakenly believe it’s false news, thus abandoning the chase.
After a brief consideration, Athena decisively said: "We’ll split up, one group chasing the jeep, the other searching here."
Bear nodded in agreement, immediately led his people to chase in the direction the jeep disappeared.
Athena led her team into the emergency room, finding it empty, with only an open door quietly lying in a corner.
She made an immediate decision, leading the team through that door.
...
After Leng Feng took Dr. Chen away, Lin Beichen ordered everyone inside the emergency room to evacuate quickly.
Upon hearing the approaching noise of mercenaries, he shouted out that phrase loudly, then swiftly left through the backdoor.
Once outside, he glimpsed a motorcycle from the corner of his eye and mounted it without hesitation.
At that moment, he felt the bike depress, a soft body pressed close.
Turning his head to look, it was the mixed-race female doctor.
"Why are you following me?" Lin Beichen instinctively asked.
Rachel, tense, answered: "If I don’t escape, am I supposed to wait for death?"
Though she didn’t know this man’s identity, intuition told her following him might increase her chances of survival.
Lin Beichen gave her a glance, turned back, twisted the throttle to full, and the motorcycle shot forth like an arrow.
The situation was urgent now, he had no time to say more to her, bringing her along might save time.
Thus, the two sped away riding the motorcycle.
Behind them, Athena and the mercenaries spotted them, seeing a figure in a white coat, mistakenly thinking it was Dr. Chen, immediately driving to pursue.
Lin Beichen saw the pursuers in the rearview mirror, controlled the handlebars with one hand, and pulled out talismans from his pocket with the other, tossing them backward without looking.
The mercenaries saw the drifting yellow paper slips, confused expressions on their faces.
Was the Huaxia person still in the mood to scatter flowers while fleeing?
However, as these yellow slips landed beside them, they immediately realized how naive their thoughts were.
The slips cracked open with a "boom," shattering a pickup truck, mercenaries aboard blown into a bloody mess.
Other mercenaries in vehicles were terrified, could the previous explosions in the hospital also be caused by these yellow slips?
Before they could think, more yellow slips were floating in.
They dodged left and right, trying to evade these bizarre slips, yet still some got caught.
Some slips caused explosions, some ignited flames, others rendered vehicles immobile.
The mercenaries’ faces displayed an expression more terrified than seeing ghosts.
"What on earth are these things!" they exclaimed.
"Who is that Huaxia person, using such bizarre items!" someone yelled angrily.
"Whatever methods they use, we must capture Dr. Chen!" another said firmly.
But just then, yet another yellow slip exploded near them, a vehicle’s tire was blown out, unable to move forward.
Seeing this, Athena immediately ordered the rear-seat mercenaries to use rocket launchers to attack.
The rockets aimed at the motorcycle ahead, firing swiftly.
Ahead, Lin Beichen had exhausted the talismans in his pocket, entirely focused on driving the motorcycle.
Rachel watched him continuously toss yellow slips, blowing the mercenaries into disarray, her face showed an astounded look.
"Who exactly are you? Are these some new type of weapon?" she couldn’t help but ask.
However, before Lin Beichen could reply, a rocket was already shooting directly toward them.
His pupils constricted, attempting to veer the bike to dodge, but it was already too late.
The rocket landed beside their vehicle, a formidable shockwave sent both flying into a pit by the roadside.
Upon landing, Lin Beichen didn’t feel the expected pain, instead felt a soft surface beneath him.
He fixed his gaze, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine. They had fallen into a mass grave.
Upon realizing they had landed in a mass grave, Rachel almost screamed, fortunately, Lin Beichen swiftly reacted, covering her mouth, suppressing the impending scream.
"If you want to live, shut up!"
Lin Beichen warned in a low voice, then released his hand, quickly pulling a nearby corpse to conceal himself and Rachel thoroughly.
Shortly after, they heard the voices of mercenaries coming from above.
"Damn it, where did they go?" Athena muttered angrily.
A mercenary scanned the surroundings, guessing: "Could they have slipped away from somewhere else?"
"Impossible, I saw the rocket explode near them with my own eyes."
Athena said firmly, her gaze gradually shifting towards the mound of corpses below.
In this tense atmosphere, Lin Beichen and Rachel held their breath, closely monitoring the movements above.
Time seemed to freeze, every second felt extraordinarily long.
They dared not move a muscle, only exchanged glances, striving to maintain composure.
Lin Beichen didn’t necessarily want to gaze at Rachel like this, but any movement might reveal them now.
The stench emanating from the pile of corpses was nauseating, even for Rachel, who was a doctor.
She silently prayed in her heart for the mercenaries to leave quickly.
The contrary occurred, the mercenaries showed no intention to leave.
At that moment, Rachel suddenly felt an itch in her nose, an impending sneeze.
