Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"You mean to say that someone like Viper couldn't be that ruthless to himself, undergoing rigorous training every day, so he couldn't possibly walk with such mechanical steps?"

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yu Feng is right. No leader of any organization would train like his subordinates just for the sake of physical fitness.

Even if they were to train, they could only improve their explosive power and fighting ability; it would be impossible for them to train their movements to be as uniform as ordinary subordinates.

For example, the marching drills during military training are designed to make the formation a cohesive unit. Everyone who integrates into this group is part of it, which demonstrates the discipline of the formation and also represents the obedience of these individuals.

"Ah."

Yu Feng nodded.

Lin Beichen carefully observed through the scope and quickly spotted two people among the group whose gaits were clearly different.

The reason they are different is that the rhythm and stride of these two are completely different from the other four.

"Boss, look at those two men with weapons at the front. Their gait is clearly different from the two men in suits in front of them, and the two men with weapons behind them. Is there any possibility...?"

Yu Feng stopped halfway through his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was clear to anyone who wasn't a fool.

The two men with weapons at the front are very likely imposters!

"Boss, you make the decision."

At this moment, Yu Feng turned his gaze to Lin Beichen beside him.

At times like this, he naturally had to listen to Lin Beichen, who was the team leader.

The group below had already reached the center of the open area; if they were allowed to continue, they would likely cross the border.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly; now all the problems were on his shoulders.

"Shoot down the two armed men whose steps were clearly out of sync."

Lin Beichen didn't think too much about it; the longer you think about something like this, the more time you waste.

"Yes!"

Yu Feng nodded.

"call--!"

Just as the two were about to pull the trigger, a gust of wind suddenly swept in.

Anyone with shooting experience or who has used a slingshot knows that wind is a crucial factor that cannot be ignored in order to achieve accuracy.

At this moment, Lin Beichen and his group were at least 500 meters away from their target.

Although they occupied a superior position, it was quite difficult to accurately kill the target with a single shot in the wind.

This is not just about sniping skills; the most crucial factor is the Type 95 standard-issue rifle they are carrying.

The accuracy of a rifle is definitely not as good as that of a sniper rifle. In addition, after the two people attached the scope, they didn't have much time to carefully adjust it. No one could guarantee that the shot would hit the target steadily.

"Click—click-click!"

Time passed second by second, but the strong wind showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, it blew even stronger.

Lin Beichen's brows furrowed even more.

Is God really going to protect that guy?
Lin Beichen took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the target in the scope, who had already traversed most of the open area. Left with no other option, he could only say to Yu Feng beside him:

"I'll take the left side, you take the right side!"

"Prepare!"

"Fire!"

From the issuance of the command to its execution, only six seconds had passed.

Two gunshots echoed through the rainforest, lingering for two or three seconds.

Lin Beichen took two steps forward from his target, then suddenly leaned forward and fell headfirst to the ground, landing face-first in the mud.

Because the distance was too great, Lin Beichen had no way of determining which part of the body the other person had been shot in.

Looking at Yu Feng's target, he seemed unaffected, glancing back over. Immediately afterward, all the thugs focused their attention on the direction where Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were.

The group of thugs quickly closed in, one of them helped the fallen man to his feet, and the group ran swiftly into the nearby dense forest.

Even though Lin Beichen quickly fired a few more shots, the recoil of the guns and the strong winds prevented him from inflicting any real damage on the other party.

"Boss, they've escaped."

Yu Feng gritted his teeth as he watched the departing group.

There was a river ahead of them in the dense forest they were about to enter. The river was not large, and it wouldn't take them long to swim across.

Furthermore, the dense trees above the river obstructed the view, making it a pipe dream to launch an effective attack from above.

It was impossible for Lin Beichen and Yu Feng to quickly reach the depression from above and then track down and attack their opponents. By the time Lin Beichen reached the riverbanks, the group would likely already be deep in the Burmese rainforest.

"Forget it, let's go."

"At least most of their group's henchmen have been eliminated by us. Even if they want to retaliate, that will be years or even decades from now."

"Perhaps, those people just died in the rainforests of Myanmar."

Lin Beichen took a deep breath.

This was one of the few failures they had experienced since they began carrying out their missions.

In situations like this, as the commander, his first priority is naturally to calm his subordinates down. Others may feel disappointed and resentful, but he cannot.

This is not just about him personally, but also about the morale of the entire team.

"Ah."

Yu Feng nodded, and the two walked one after the other toward the village.

……

"Cough-cough!"

The venomous snake peered through the gaps in the dense forest leaves, coldly watching the two figures disappear into the distance, its eyes filled with resentment and malice.

"Boss, are you okay?"

The scorpion looked at the venomous snake, who was covered in cold sweat, and for a moment couldn't tell whether he was genuinely concerned or just asking casually.

"I'm fine, but I will definitely avenge this!"

The snake's eyes were filled with gloom. As soon as it finished speaking, its eyes rolled back and it fainted.

Scorpion quickly ejected the magazine, took out a bullet, pried open the bullet, and sprinkled the gunpowder inside onto the snake's wound.

The scorpions and bullets inside had already been cleaned up, otherwise the venomous snakes wouldn't have fainted from the pain.

The scorpion pulled a lighter from its pocket and, without thinking, ignited the gunpowder on the snake's leg.

"what--!"

The venomous snake let out a miserable howl, its eyes rolling back in pain, and it suddenly awoke from its unconsciousness.

Even though it screamed in agony, it didn't last more than 0.5 seconds before the scorpion forcefully covered its mouth.

Upon seeing this, the men around him did not hesitate to point their weapons at the back of the scorpion's head.

"Take your hands off, or you'll all die!"

The scorpion exuded an indescribable, intense killing intent, instantly making one feel as if they were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a chill that seeped into their bones.

"Take your hand off the boss's mouth!"

However, Scorpion was met with indifferent words from one of the burly men.

These people are loyal only to the viper. Even if the viper's favorite scorpion does anything that could potentially harm the viper, they will immediately attack the scorpion.

The scorpion is now covering the snake's mouth and nose; they haven't fired, simply because they're afraid of accidentally injuring the snake.

"Damn it!" Scorpion's eyes were cold as he plunged the knife he had been using to deflect the bullet into the burly man's neck.

The burly man covered his neck in disbelief, but blood still spurted from between his fingers.

"Let go of the boss!"

The remaining three men ignored the death of the burly man, only staring coldly at Scorpion, their guns pressed against Scorpion's head for a moment without being moved away.

Scorpion coldly surveyed the group, seemingly unconcerned about the weapons in their hands.

It was as if the people in their hands were not deadly weapons that could instantly take a life, but rather harmless fire sticks.

However, at this moment, the scorpion loosened its grip on the venomous snake, and several men rushed forward and pinned the scorpion to the ground.

"You...you bastard!"

"Scorpion was just trying to keep me from making too much noise, so as not to attract the police!"

At this moment, the viper's face darkened, and he coldly reprimanded several of his men.

Although his voice wasn't loud, his men immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to stand guard.

"Thank you."

The venomous snake looked at the scorpion, its eyes filled with gratitude.

Scorpion waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned, and said casually, "The police have left. For now, we're relatively safe. There's a river less than a hundred meters ahead. If we swim across, we'll be in Myanmar."

"Ah."

The venomous snake nodded.

"I'll rest for a few minutes, I'll go keep watch," Scorpion said, and strode away.

The scene seemed remarkably harmonious; were it not for the burly man's corpse on the ground reminding one of what had just happened, one might even think they had always been of one mind.

As they walked further away, the scorpion frowned slightly.

He understood that although the snake trusted him, it was still secretly wary of him.

Otherwise, it's impossible that when Viper wanted to save Viper, his first reaction would have been to draw his gun instead of offering help.

……

"came back?"

"What's going on?"

Back in the village, the area in front of the village was already filled with all sorts of vehicles. Seeing Lin Beichen and Yu Feng return, the team members eagerly surrounded them.

“They ran away, and when we chased after them, they were almost at the river on the Myanmar border.”

"Yu Feng and I each fired a few shots. Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and we only managed to hit one of them, but the distance was too far, so we probably didn't hit any vital organs."

Lin Beichen recounted the events truthfully.

The expressions on the faces of the team members changed visibly, but soon their expressions turned to joy.

"You even fired shots? Our women's action team has been lying in wait there, our legs are all numb from crouching, and we haven't seen a single person."

It was Chen Lin who spoke; she seemed unwilling to accept it and even swung her fist fiercely.

"You've all done your best. Everyone did a great job this time. The only thing to blame is that venomous snake, which was too cunning."

"If he weren't cunning, would he be called a venomous snake?"

The criminal investigation captain spoke up, and his adjutant also stood by with a smile, trying to comfort him.

Although the snake's stronghold in its own country was destroyed, it was ultimately a regret that it could not be brought to justice.

They were feeling bad, and naturally hoped that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng wouldn't feel any psychological pressure.

"Oh dear, are the villagers from our village able to come back now?"

The village chief rushed over from outside the village. Judging from his sweaty appearance, it was clear that the villagers were upset and he had no choice but to come to the village to check on them.

"The villagers can come back, but this house probably can't be used anymore."

“We still need to clean up the site. Tell the villagers not to go near this house for the next few days. Everything else can remain the same.”

The one who spoke to the village chief was the criminal investigation team leader. Compared to Lin Beichen and the other members of the action team, the criminal investigation team leader naturally had a smoother communication with the local officials.

"Okay...okay!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief excitedly rubbed his hands together. He had just taken a step to run outside when he suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the criminal investigation team leader chuckled and looked at the village chief, asking, "Is there anything else that needs our coordination?"

"Don't worry, we will take full responsibility for this house. It is definitely unusable, but the compensation can be based on the demolition standards."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up. This house was several hundred square meters in size. According to the demolition standards, even if the compensation here was low, it would still be one or two million!

"No, no." The village chief quickly realized what was happening and shook his head repeatedly. He continued, "This area borders Myanmar, and recently, unidentified people have been frequently passing through our village. Moreover, these people don't seem to come from outside the village, but rather from the mountains behind it!"

When it came to serious matters, the village chief's face turned serious.

In the border region, unidentified people appeared, and they were coming from the rear of the border. Who these people were is self-evident.

What were those people dressed like?

Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly, immediately showing interest.

“Those people usually carry a large backpack, and their skin is very dark, much darker than ours, the farmers.”

The village chief stroked his chin, as if recalling something.

Black backpack?

Without a doubt, if what the village chief said is true, these people are most likely involved in the business of contraband!

Based on what the village chief said about these people having dark skin, it can be basically determined that they are either exposed to strong ultraviolet radiation for a long time, or their skin color is naturally different.

Although people from neighboring countries and their own countrymen are similar in skin color, there are still some differences due to latitude and living environment.

"Is there any concrete news about them?"

"For example, where do they live?"

"Roughly from which direction did it come?"

Lin Beichen frowned.

These people likely belong to a small, mobile criminal gang.

While barriers are being built across the border regions to prevent people from other countries from crossing, some places simply cannot be built, or there is no time to build them.

Rainforests, teeming with poisonous insects, are natural barriers; a normal person could easily perish if they entered them carelessly.

In addition, there are regular patrols, so these places generally don't have any protective facilities built.

“I asked them before, and they said they were from Torizawa Village.”

“Tori-zawa Village is not far from here, but that place is already in Myanmar.”

“In my grandfather’s generation, there was still contact between these nearby villages, but after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, because they were neighboring countries, there was less contact.”

The village chief explained to Lin Beichen with a smile.

"How far is 'not far'?"

“Go out of our village, cross that river, and walk about a kilometer.”

The village chief's explanation made Lin Beichen raise an eyebrow slightly.

Just now, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were on a high ground in the rainforest. Although visibility was poor in the rainforest, it was impossible for them not to see a village that was so large.

Furthermore, if two villages are adjacent, the government cannot allow the rainforest to remain undefended. (End of Chapter)
