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

Even in the most rudimentary form, they would have electric fences and watchtowers erected nearby to prevent villagers from neighboring countries from accidentally entering our country.

"Tori Sawa Village, I have some impression of this village."

“This village was indeed very close to the border line in the past, and our senior leaders even discussed solutions at the time.”

"But for some reason, everyone in the village moved away, and now it should just be an empty shell in the rainforest. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably all overgrown with trees now."

The criminal investigation captain frowned.

There's another half of the story he didn't explicitly state.

It is said that the village was looted by an organization from Myanmar, and all the villagers were taken away.

This was originally a matter for other countries and had nothing to do with them. The border defense construction plan that was originally planned to be implemented was also cancelled because of this incident.

Do you know the exact location?

"I want to go and check the situation. We must not let those people enter our defense line again."

Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow.

Although crossing the river would mean entering Myanmar territory, it is still possible to observe from the other side of the river.

If he spotted Viper and his crew there, Lin Beichen even considered shooting them dead from across the river.

Anyway, those people were all desperate criminals, and they didn't have passports from any country, so if they died, they died.

Furthermore, given that this place is located in the rainforest, Lin Beichen didn't believe his men would carry the snake's carcass out of the rainforest.

This is simply not realistic.

"Weren't you near the depression in the border area before?"

"You can see Torizawa Village across the river by walking down the riverbank for about a kilometer."

The criminal investigation captain told Lin Beichen with certainty that he clearly knew the location well, unlike his previous statement that he only vaguely remembered the existence of such a village.

Of course, Lin Beichen couldn't expose him directly at this time. After nodding, he asked his superior for instructions through the earpiece.

The superior's orders were simple.

"If necessary, we can conduct cross-border pursuits, and we will coordinate with the other side."

Lin Beichen felt much better after receiving this order.

This can be considered an affirmation from superiors.

It's simply that if he really crosses the line, someone will clean up the mess for him.

It is conceivable that the higher-ups also took this venomous snake, a villain who roamed various countries, very seriously.

"Yu Feng, come with me. The rest of you stay here."

Under the expectant gazes of his teammates, Lin Beichen spoke calmly.

Lin Beichen knew, of course, that all the team members wanted to go, but this was no small matter.

If one or two people cross the line, it's not too difficult for superiors to handle. But if an entire combat squad crosses the line, it will probably be a different story.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng took some individual rations and other supplies from the parked vehicle and set off again without stopping.

The rainforest was difficult to navigate, and after about three hours, as darkness fell, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng finally found the location the criminal investigation team leader had described.

Even across the river, Lin Beichen could see two orange-red flames on the ruins of the village opposite.

Six people sat beside the flames; they looked quite familiar, and Lin Beichen was certain he had seen them not long ago.

"Boss, those guys should be Viper's gang."

Yu Feng lowered his voice, carefully parted the reeds by the riverbank, and stared intently at the group of people on the opposite bank, looking exactly like a thief.

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly.

This gang of venomous snakes is truly extremely arrogant.

Having just been chased to the other side of the river, he actually dared to start a fire on the spot.

Although this river is the border between the two countries, it is only about two hundred meters wide at most.

For someone with decent physical fitness and good swimming skills, this distance is easily swam across.

As darkness fell, Lin Beichen waved to Yu Feng beside him, clearly wanting Yu Feng to give him the night vision binoculars.

Lin Beichen had anticipated that it would get dark before he set off, so he specifically instructed Yu Feng to bring it with him.

Yu Feng understood immediately and took out night vision binoculars from his backpack, handing them to Lin Beichen.

The telescope had a limited field of view, but he could vaguely make out that the group of people on the other side were the same people he had been chasing, including Viper.

Lin Beichen quickly placed the Type 95 rifle on his lap from behind.

However, neither Lin Beichen nor Yu Feng had night vision capabilities on their rifle scopes, so the chances of hitting the target with a single shot while firing at each other across the riverbank were extremely low.

Reality is not like some fantastical TV dramas, where characters tear enemies apart with their bare hands or a rifle can accurately headshot enemies from 3,000 meters away.

For example, the Type 95 rifle that Lin Beichen is currently using has a rate of fire of about 900 meters per second, an effective firing range of only 400-500 meters, and a maximum lethal range of about 1000 meters.

In other words, it takes a full half second for a bullet to hit the target after it is fired. During this half second, wind speed, humidity, and air resistance are all key factors that affect whether the bullet can accurately hit the target.

The wind is already strong along the riverbank, and the winds on both sides are likely to be convective winds, which cannot be solved by simply measuring the offset distance.

In addition, the scope was hastily attached to the gun in his hand, and there was no time to calibrate it. He could only judge whether he could hit the target by feel.

The feeling of touch is a mysterious and elusive thing, and Lin Beichen wasn't entirely confident, so he didn't want to alert the enemy at the moment.

After all, the other side is right on the other side. If Yu Feng and I were to sneak across the river now and catch them off guard, the chances and effectiveness of capturing them all would be far greater than with long-range sniping.

"Hmm, touch over there."

Lin Beichen nodded and responded calmly to Yu Feng.

"Boss, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"This is a river in the rainforest, teeming with leeches, venomous snakes, pythons, crocodiles, and piranhas!"

"If we have even the slightest wound, it will definitely attract those things."

Yu Feng frowned, his gaze falling on Lin Beichen's chest.

Lin Beichen was injured earlier, and it's unclear whether going into the river now would attract large predators.

But one thing is certain: if Lin Beichen goes into the water, leeches will swarm over him!

The leeches in the rainforest are not the kind of leeches that people in China are familiar with from farmland. These leeches can get into any place!

Even if you wear leg wraps and tall rain boots, these things can still get into your pants when you walk in the rainforest.

"I can't control that much."

Lin Beichen smiled and shook his head.

This is no longer the time to consider these things.

Leeches don't burrow into human wounds; only parasites can.

Of course, there are also plenty of parasites in the river. Once those things burrow into the human body, they wriggle in the subcutaneous tissue, and you can even see them clearly with the naked eye.

Leeches usually only detach from the body after they have sucked blood and caused significant blood loss. They can be easily removed by touching them with a cigarette butt, hot coals, or a lighter.

"puff!"

Lin Beichen put away his equipment and plunged into the murky river without hesitation.

The river water was icy cold, instantly chilling you from your feet to the roots of your neck, with a chill that seemed to penetrate your body, causing a sharp pain in your bones.

"Boss, wait for me!" Seeing this, Yu Feng didn't care about anything else and quickly plunged into the water.

Fortunately, the other party had a fire, so the two of them didn't lose their target in the dim night sky.

"Splash—splash!"

The sound of the two swimming in the night sky went unnoticed, and soon they swam to the vicinity of the riverbank.

"Boss."

As soon as Lin Beichen parted the reeds, Yu Feng's panicked voice reached his ears.

Lin Beichen frowned instantly.

The two were now no more than thirty meters away from the group of venomous snakes. Although the night sky was not quiet enough to cover their voices, soldiers should remain vigilant while on a mission.

"explain."

Lin Beichen was getting impatient. He looked at the campfire in the distance and realized that the people there hadn't noticed anything, which made Lin Beichen secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"I...I think..."

Yu Feng swallowed hard halfway through his sentence; Lin Beichen, of course, couldn't see this in the dim night sky.

As soon as Yu Feng parted the reeds, he bumped into a large, cold object, and he could faintly feel that it was breathing!

Hearing Yu Feng's panicked voice, Lin Beichen's brows furrowed even more.

Lin Beichen knew Yu Feng's character all too well. Although Yu Feng could be a bit unreliable at times, he wouldn't joke around with him at such a crucial moment.

"Say it!"

Lin Beichen lowered his voice and urged him urgently.

"I touched something!"

"It has scales, it's very big, and it's still moving!"

In the darkness, Lin Beichen could clearly feel Yu Feng's voice trembling, a sign of fear of the unknown.

Generally speaking, only three types of creatures can survive in rainforest rivers, possessing scales and being large in size.

Arapaima, crocodile, python!
Although the arapaima is extremely fierce in the water, it generally does not attack large creatures like humans, and it doesn't like to live in shallow water at all!
Can you be sure what it is?

Lin Beichen took a deep breath, inwardly cursing his bad luck. This was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

"I think it's a snake... a very big snake!"

Yu Feng's trembling voice reached Lin Beichen's ears again.

"Is it possible to go around it?"

Lin Beichen stared intently at the bonfire in the distance, and responded in a low voice.

Whether it's a crocodile or a snake, the appearance of Lin Beichen and Yu Feng must have already awakened it.

In other words, it had already sensed Yu Feng and Lin Beichen's presence. It didn't attack, perhaps because it felt Yu Feng wasn't enough to harm it, or perhaps it simply wasn't interested in Yu Feng at all.

"I don't think I can get around it. It's very close to me, almost like it's right next to my feet in the water. If I move, it will definitely react."

Yu Feng was breathing rapidly, constantly inhaling deep breaths of cool air, as if only in this way could he calm his panicked heart a little.

Lin Beichen understood that Yu Feng was right.

At this moment, if Yu Feng makes any movement that disturbs the creatures around him, those creatures are likely to attack him immediately.

The problem was that in the pitch-black night, Lin Beichen and his team dared not turn on their tactical flashlights.

Right now, Viper's gang is in the open, while Lin Beichen and his companion are in the shadows. Once they turn on their flashlights, the situation will be very different.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were both wearing military green combat uniforms. If they were spotted by the enemy, they would inevitably be met with a barrage of bullets.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng can't afford to gamble!

"Boss... what do we do now?"

"Shut up and don't move!"

Yu Feng was clearly flustered, but Lin Beichen interrupted him without hesitation.

Knowing that Yu Feng was emotionally unstable at the moment, Lin Beichen took a deep breath and comforted him, "I'll use night vision binoculars to see what it is. Don't move. It's precisely in times like these that you can't panic, understand?"

"Ah."

Yu Feng responded in a very soft voice.

However, Yu Feng had received professional training and possessed a relatively strong mental fortitude. Although he was terrified, he quickly regained his composure and calmed his breathing.

Lin Beichen slowly unzipped his tactical pants pocket and took out night vision binoculars.

In a burst of green light, a triangular snake head, about the size of a mug, appeared before Lin Beichen's eyes.

The snake's head has special stripes that look like a messy grid. At this moment, its thumb-thick forked tongue is constantly moving in and out of its mouth. It looks like a reticulated python!

Since only the head of the reticulated python was above the water, while the rest of its body was hidden in the water, Lin Beichen was unable to determine its exact size for the time being.

However, judging from the fact that the reticulated python was staring intently at Yu Feng's enormous head, its body length was definitely over five meters!

"Step back, slowly step back!"

Lin Beichen took a deep breath and said.

Pythons are indeed slow on land, but they are a different story in the water.

With the help of the buoyancy of the water, the reticulated python's originally huge but unsupported body was instantly "liberated".

In water, the reticulated python's attack speed is several times faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than on land!
Normally, even if Lin Beichen were in the water, he wouldn't be afraid of this monster.

The worst outcome would be to die together with this beast.

But things are different now. Lin Beichen and Yu Feng are in the water and dare not make any loud noise, let alone fight that beast.

"it is good."

Yu Feng had absolute trust in Lin Beichen. As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, he began to slowly back away.

Clearly, the reticulated python had no intention of letting them go.

For every step the wind takes backward, it swims forward one step.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly; at this moment, it was once again his turn to make a decision.

This beast clearly has no intention of letting Yu Feng go, which means we have no choice but to fight it.

However, they were too close to the snake's group. Although the night sky wasn't exactly quiet, a fight with the reticulated python would definitely cause quite a commotion.

Making a big fuss would expose our target, and then Viper and his gang would definitely not stand idly by.

Even so, Lin Beichen could not possibly ignore Yu Feng's life or death.

In Lin Beichen's eyes, even killing a criminal, even a notorious international fugitive, was not as important as the safety of his teammates.

"Slowly draw the dagger and slash horizontally to your left front." Lin Beichen's voice remained very low.

Although he was thinking about killing the reticulated python, he couldn't step forward to help at the moment.

It wasn't that Lin Beichen didn't want to take action, but without night vision binoculars, the two of them were practically blind in the dim night.

The only solution at the moment is for Lin Beichen to direct the operation from the sidelines, while Yu Feng relies on his own abilities to deal with the reticulated python in front of them.

"Pfft—!" (End of Chapter)
