It's definitely not a good place to stay. Who knows when their boss will come back to kill us?

If that big brother really gets there, then they'll be trapped with no way to escape.

These people have no sense of organization or discipline. Doesn't their leader know how to fight?
Lin Beichen also thought this made sense.

However, before leaving, he swept everything he could carry away.

Before leaving, Lin Beichen condescendingly lectured the captured prisoners.

"Listen up, you must obey the law from now on, or you'll lose your lives here."

Lin Beichen and his group left in a hurry.

They need to get back to their unit as soon as possible.

After this conflict, they must have incurred the wrath of the local residents.

If this stalemate continues, things will only get worse.

"You must abide by the law."

Obeying the law is something that should be done, but Lin Beichen simply doesn't have the time to slowly educate people.

When their leader returned to the camp, he found that all his men had been decimated.

Several of them were lying on the ground groaning and crying out, their hands still bound with ropes.

Seeing this scene, a series of questions immediately popped into the eldest brother's mind.

Who is it?

Who on earth has the ability to beat his people into this state?

"what happened?"

The leader walked up to a man and reached out to cut the ropes binding him.

The man had a mournful face.

"It was those prisoners who were captured that escaped."

what?
Haven't those people already been brought under control?
How could they have suddenly escaped?

what is happening?
Why did they get away?
"Haven't you been keeping a close watch on them all along?"

The boss's tone clearly betrayed his impatience.

Looking around at the equipment, I realized that almost everything that could be destroyed had been destroyed.

I was only gone for a short while, and my headquarters was taken down.

In a fit of anger, the leader immediately gathered dozens of people.

"It seems these people are trying to ride roughshod over us. How can we let them get away with this?"

The leader had already figured out the location of Lin Beichen's camp.

This is their territory, so it shouldn't be difficult to discover this.
They are now filled with rage.

Moreover, the leader led his men straight to Lin Beichen's camp.

“Those people have turned our camp into this mess, we must make them pay with their blood.”

This group stormed into the military camp with great momentum.

Lin Beichen had already set up his weapons and was waiting for them to arrive.

Seeing that those people had indeed arrived, Lin Beichen gave a cold laugh.

"I told you, this guy definitely won't let this go."

If a leader doesn't even have this much guts and doesn't lead his men to fight, how can he command respect?

Lin Beichen had already set up his weapons and was still sitting outside waiting for him.

The leader had no idea that Lin Beichen's military camp had so many weapons and equipment.

So the moment he stepped into the military camp, his imposing manner instantly softened.

"You didn't come here this time just to try and distort the truth for us, did you?"

Lin Beichen stared at the boss in front of him.

The weapons next to him were all loaded with bullets in a swift motion.

Seeing the gun barrels all around, the leader immediately chickened out.

He forced a fawning smile.

"How could that be?"

As he spoke, he scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.

"I just came here specifically to apologize to you. We were indeed wrong in these matters."

At this moment, the man had completely lost his previous fierce and menacing appearance.

His smile looked very stiff, and he kept scratching his head.

"These things are all my fault. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

The military base was filled with rifles and cannons.

The local situation has been tense, with robbers appearing everywhere.

The reason these guns are mounted in the military base is to guard against attacks by robbers.

The leader originally came with a murderous aura.

But the moment he saw the weapons and equipment in the army, he immediately realized that this was a place he couldn't afford to mess with.

Half of their firepower alone is more than all their assets.

If a fight really breaks out, they'll probably be in deep trouble.

As the saying goes, a great man can bend and stretch.

Upon seeing the strength of the troops, everyone quickly took a step back.

The leader was all smiles.

"We accidentally arrested the wrong person, so we came here specifically to apologize to you."

Hao Jianhua scoffed.

When we locked them up, weren't they all swaggering around like trolls?
It hasn't been long, and they're already coming to apologize.

"You're here to apologize?"

Hao Jianhua gave a cold laugh, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"I bet you came here for revenge, only to find that we're far superior to you, huh?"

Hao Jianhua indeed hit the nail on the head regarding the boss's purpose.

However, given the current situation, how could he dare to speak or act recklessly?

"Look at what you're saying!"

The leader apologized to Lin Beichen and the others repeatedly, and his attitude seemed quite sincere.

Since he didn't want to waste any more time with them, Lin Beichen didn't pursue the matter any further.

After those people had gone far away, Fatty Wang finally sighed.

"Let's not bother arguing with these people; it's a never-ending struggle."

If you really get into a fight with them, you're just asking for trouble.

This group of people must be notorious local thugs.

If you really get entangled with them, you won't be able to shake them off anytime soon.

"Anyway, it's all in the past now, so don't worry about it."

Hao Jianhua glanced at Lin Beichen and noticed that the other man's brows were still furrowed.

Lin Beichen nodded as well.

As long as the leader doesn't cause trouble, they won't make the first move.

Anyway, there are plenty of ruthless bandits in the area, so there's no need to offend a whole bunch over one. Just when everyone thought things would quiet down for a while, a sudden commotion arose nearby.

"What happened outside?"

Hao Jianhua couldn't help but glance outside.

The noise outside sounds chaotic; something must have happened again.

"Everyone assemble."

A sharp, urgent whistle rang out, followed by the instructor's voice.

Everyone immediately became flustered and confused.

Those with guns took their guns, and those with clothes put on their clothes.

In just a few seconds, everyone had gathered in the open space outside.

"We've received an urgent mission to send you over there to check the situation."

Everyone held their breath.

Since it's an emergency mission, it must be quite dangerous.

Lin Beichen was mentally prepared.

He knew that he would definitely have to get involved in this matter.

As expected, the instructors focused their attention on him.

"You, and you, all of you go over there and check the situation."

The instructor first pointed to Lin Beichen, and then to Wang Pangzi and the others.

"I'll send you the exact location in a bit, just follow the direction of the location."

Lin Beichen nodded, and then went to pack his equipment.

Fatty Wang hesitated for a moment.

He had never been on such an urgent mission before.

However, since Lin Beichen is here, he can at least share some of the responsibility.

"Once you get there, be sure to report back to us immediately."

Before they left, the instructors kept giving them instructions.

Lin Beichen nodded repeatedly.

Time passed by, second by second.

Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang rode at full speed and soon arrived at their destination.

As soon as they stepped into this place, the two of them gasped simultaneously.

Everywhere they looked, there were corpses lying in disarray.

Some bodies were blown to pieces, while others were blown to pieces.

Looking at the horrific state of these corpses, Fatty Wang almost vomited.

He gagged for a moment and quickly ran to the side to catch his breath.

"What exactly is going on?"

Fatty Wang was a little afraid to look in that direction for too long.

Lin Beichen, however, walked closer and took a closer look.

"It seems there was a large-scale battle here before."

As Lin Beichen spoke, he glanced over there again.

There must have been a fierce battle, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many corpses left.

But if such a battle really happened, why haven't they heard any news or activity from their side?

"Let's go ask the local people."

Fatty Wang really didn't want to stand among these corpses anymore.

The weather wasn't exactly cool, and the corpses emitted wave after wave of stench.

The local people should know some of the inside story.

Just to be on the safe side, they decided to first ask the local people about the situation.

"Let's go over there and ask."

Lin Beichen saw several elderly people nearby, all of whom were using canes.

They were wearing uniforms and didn't look like the kind of ruthless bandits you'd find.

Based on this, Lin Beichen decided to go over there and check the situation first.

"Hello!" Lin Beichen greeted him with a big smile.

But before he could utter a second word, the people around him hurriedly walked away.

"What's going on?" Lin Beichen stood there somewhat embarrassed. "Could it be that I look too fierce and scared them all away?"

Lin Beichen waved to Fatty Wang, who was standing to the side, and said, "Try to be friendly and go check over there to see if anything's wrong."

Wang Pangzi is, after all, rather overweight, and in terms of inspiring trust, he does have an advantage over Lin Beichen.

Fatty Wang was immediately reluctant. Although he was a bit overweight, that didn't mean he had to do everything, right? Besides, it wasn't exactly an easy job.

"Just let me go, why say such hurtful things?" Fatty Wang muttered as he jogged to the other side.

But once they arrived, the residents were still very afraid.

Seeing the people leaving one after another, Lin Beichen had no choice but to go and find out what was going on himself.

"Have the people here been frightened before?" Fatty Wang said, glancing at Lin Beichen. "In my opinion, that might really be the case."

If she hadn't been provoked, why would she run away at the sight of them? There are many strange things in the world, but I've never seen anyone run away at the sight of people.

"Let's go take a look!" Lin Beichen said, intending to investigate himself.

But the two had only walked a few meters when a loud noise suddenly came from ahead. The noise grew more and more intense, and Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang instinctively dropped to the ground.

After waiting for a while, no one approached them. Lin Beichen cautiously peeked out and found that there was no one in sight. But a little further away, he could see the flashes of light from when the guns were fired.

"Something must have happened over there." Lin Beichen pointed in that direction and ran over with Fatty Wang.

Wang Pangzi was physically weak, and he was panting heavily after running only a few steps. "Could you slow down a bit?" he said between breaths. "Please slow down... just a little bit more..."

The two followed the gunfire to the vicinity of a building. Maintaining complete concealment, neither made a sound. As they approached the building, the gunfire intensified. By the time they reached the base of the building, the gunfire had drowned out all other sounds.

"Good heavens, the fighting here is too fierce!" At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly understood those ordinary people. With the fighting so intense, the people must be terrified. Plus, with him in uniform, they probably thought he was a criminal. No wonder they ran away as soon as they saw him.

"The enemy's firepower is too intense. Let's retreat first." Lin Beichen only brought the most basic equipment this time. They were here to gather intelligence, not to engage the enemy in direct combat. According to their observations, countless local civilians had already been killed or wounded. As for which organizations were involved in the firefight, he hadn't yet figured it out.

Only by retreating first can they leave themselves some room to maneuver.

The group hurriedly retreated. On the way, Lin Beichen suddenly overheard two old men chatting.

Aren't you moving out?

"I'm so old, I can't walk anymore. As long as the children can escape, that's enough."

"But I heard that those people are about to turn on the common people..."

"Then it's all the same path, death. Anyway, I've lived for so many years, why should I care about a few more?"

The two elderly men by the roadside appeared remarkably calm. They were likely in their seventies or eighties, their faces etched with deep and shallow wrinkles. Unlike the younger men before them, these two gentlemen exuded a serene tranquility born of years of experience.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Beichen felt increasingly depressed.

“If you can leave, then leave.” One of the old men’s voices trembled. “I have no children. My sons and daughters were all killed on the battlefield. If I stay here, it’s the same as keeping watch over them.” The old man’s expression was full of sorrow.

Another old man shook his head: "Old friend, we've lived here all our lives, where else can I go? If they really want to harm us, then let them kill me. Anyway, there's no point in living like this."

The conversation between the two elderly people left a bad taste in one's mouth. Lin Beichen dared not linger any longer.

After rushing back, he told the instructor everything that had happened.

"There must have been a large-scale battle over there; there are corpses everywhere." (End of Chapter)
