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

In the silent night sky, a piercing scream tore through the air and reached everyone's ears.

After letting out a scream, the man's head lolled to the side, and he died.

Lin Beichen pulled the dagger from the other man's chest, wiped it casually on his clothes, and quickly disappeared into the reeds.

The strange screams of the last dead man spurred all the searchers to rush toward Lin Beichen's location.

Under these circumstances, Lin Beichen dared not travel quickly through the reeds.

Because moving through the reeds would inevitably cause them to collide with each other, making a lot of noise.

Lin Beichen is currently in the shadows while his opponent is in the open, so he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to expose his location.

Lin Beichen hunched over and moved slowly through the reeds.

After spending some time in the reeds, Lin Beichen gradually figured out the trick to navigating them.

If Lin Beichen walks with his head bent down, as long as he consciously uses his hand to push aside the reeds in front of his face and then slowly releases them, he will basically not make any noise.

Although this method is somewhat troublesome and will greatly reduce walking speed, the noise level is negligible.

The reeds were so dense that it was almost impossible to spot a few reeds that trembled slightly without making a sound.

The sounds of those moving through the reeds grew faster and faster, getting closer and closer to Lin Beichen.

However, all of them stopped at the spot where Lin Beichen had just killed the two men.

Outside the reed marshes.

"What are they shouting?"

Hearing the strange cries coming from Eagle's men inside, Viper frowned.

If Eagle and his crew didn't tell Viper what they were doing, Viper would inevitably feel uneasy, thinking that they were clearly being treated as outsiders.

The eagle clearly understood this as well, and when asked by the viper, he smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious."

After a pause, Eagle continued, "It's about the brothers inside who had their throats slit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eagle's face darkened, and he stared fiercely at the venomous snake.

"what do you mean?"

Upon seeing this, the venomous snake's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

It seems the other party intends to pin the blame for those people's deaths on Viper. How could Viper, who has seen through all this, possibly agree to this?
"The people inside must be those cops who were chasing you. I even lost two brothers because of this. What do you think should be done about this?"

The eagle looked at the venomous snake with a half-smile.

"So tell me, what should we do about this?"...

The venomous snake was now under a low eaves and had no choice but to lower its head.

These Burmese are all difficult to deal with. If he dared to say "no," he wouldn't even know how he died. So, in this situation, the venomous snake naturally dared not provoke them and risk getting into trouble.

"Sigh... Brother, are you being too polite with me?"

"If you are a friend of the scorpion, then you are naturally my friend as well."

"If you're my friend, shouldn't you also be friends with my subordinates?"

"In that case, shouldn't the families of my brothers......"

The eagle stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, but the meaning behind it was already crystal clear.

It's very simple, just pay up!

The venomous snake understood the meaning behind the other's words, but in an instant, he was so angry that his cheeks turned red.

Why? Because the Eagles were just given 80 million, a real 80 million!

That money was earned by him over the years, risking his life and saving every penny!
Although it wasn't all his possessions, how could he not feel heartbroken to give them away for nothing?

Moreover, it's obvious that this eagle wants to squeeze a lot of money out of him. Who knows what the eagle will ask him to do if he stays by the eagle's side in the future?

"Brother Eagle, how many do you want?"

Although he was unhappy, at this moment, the venomous snake could only put on a thick skin and force a smile.

But that smile looked like it was forced, as if someone in his family had died.

“These brothers of mine are all only sons in their families. They followed me in the hope of improving their family’s life.”

"Nothing has changed in their home now, but because of you, brother, they have passed away. Shouldn't their last wishes be fulfilled by you, Brother Poisonous Snake?"

The eagle's face was all smiles, and his eyes kept scanning the pockets on the snake's body. At this point, even a fool would understand what he meant.

These are all my loyal brothers, I need to pay extra!
"500,000 per person, how about that?"

When the venomous snake uttered these words, its face was already flushed red.

The snake wasn't heartbroken about the money; rather, it was resentful and frustrated at being manipulated by the eagle.

"No, no, no, that's not enough, far from enough!"

Upon hearing this, the eagle shook its head without even thinking.

If Viper could come up with 80 million right away, how could Eagle think that Viper was short of money?

You think you can settle this for 500,000?
This is just like giving a beggar a free meal!
"Then name a number?"

"I don't really know anything about these things. Scorpion usually takes care of these things for me."

The venomous snake took a deep breath and finally glanced at the scorpion beside it.

The snake, of course, wanted the scorpion to say a few kind words, and also hoped that the eagle would take the scorpion into consideration.

After all, the scorpion had saved his life back then.

"Oh, I see. So, Brother Scorpion, what do you think we should do about this?"

Upon hearing this, the eagle turned its gaze to the scorpion with great interest.

The eagle understood the snake's meaning, but he didn't think he would suffer a loss in this matter.

The life-saving grace is a thing of the past.

Whether he cherishes past feelings or not is his business; he can't just do it because someone tells him to!
"I think it's best for Brother Eagle to make the decision himself."

"After all, this is no small matter. I'm not a family member of those Eagles brothers, so I can't possibly understand the grief their families are going through!"

"But Brother Eagle is different. Those are all Brother Eagle's brothers. I think Brother Eagle can definitely empathize with them."

The scorpion smiled and directly passed the question to the eagle.

Meanwhile, the scorpion kept blinking at the venomous snake.

That means they obviously hope the venomous snake will swallow its anger.

Scorpions actually have their own little schemes in mind.

As long as he continues to side with the Hawks, he'll definitely be able to get a position there eventually, at least entering the inner circle is a certainty.

Once he gets into the inner circle, he has a way to get Viper to join as well.

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.

"I think it's a bit too formal to talk about money. Logically speaking, I should get a share of this too."

"However, I'm brothers with the Scorpion Brothers, so naturally I'm brothers with the Viper Brothers too." "Between brothers, why talk about money, right?"

"Just give me a million, and I'll pass it on to the families of those fallen brothers, and that'll be the end of it!"

The eagle paused, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"Of course, I can't let the Viper Brothers suffer a loss either."

"How about this, Brother Viper, you can teach us brothers a lesson from now on, explaining how the police actually fight. That way, we can hope to expand our business."

"If the business grows big, of course the Viper Brothers should get a share too, so that no one suffers a loss!"

After the eagle finished speaking, it looked at the snake with a smile on its face.

His meaning was quite clear: he was telling Viper that the money wasn't given away for nothing, and that he could eventually get Viper a position in his organization.

Faced with the other party's blackmail, the venomous snake could only nod reluctantly.

At this critical juncture, even the venomous snake knew in its heart that agreeing was a must, and it had to bite the bullet and proceed regardless.

From the other person's words, he could clearly tell that the other person did not take the life-saving grace of Scorpion back then seriously at all.

Perhaps when there are no vested interests involved, the other party is willing to give Scorpion some face.

But when it comes to money, even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone a scorpion who was kind to a venomous snake many years ago.

"Then one million each!"

The venomous snake let out a long sigh, and almost collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

He knew in his heart that the days ahead would probably be tough.

A soldier from a foreign legion was killed in action, and the compensation was only 20,000 euros. But the other party asked for one million euros. It's obvious to anyone that they're treating me like a lamb to the slaughter.

This is even after Viper had already given the other party 80 million!

You have to understand, a small organization like this, let alone 80 million, even if they could come up with 20 million, they wouldn't continue living this life of licking blood off the knife!
……

"what--!"

Another scream rang out from the reeds.

While Viper and his men were chatting animatedly, Lin Beichen was also engaged in a fierce battle with their subordinates.

However, perhaps using "fight" to describe it is not quite accurate!

A rustling sound came from the reeds, and Lin Beichen followed closely behind. Then, a nearly blunt dagger was pressed against the other person's neck. Before the other person could resist, the dagger slashed across his throat.

The man looked at Lin Beichen with a face full of fear and disbelief, then kicked his legs and died.

Lin Beichen casually flicked the blood off the dagger, put it away, and continued to sneak into the reeds.

Lin Beichen had lost count of how many people he had dealt with; it might be the sixth, or perhaps the seventh.

He had become completely numb and apathetic.

No longer did my heart stir up any emotion; it was as if what had just died was not a person, but an insignificant ant.

Feeling a void in his stomach, Lin Beichen took out a pack of biscuits from his tactical pocket, tore open the packaging, and started eating them a short distance away.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the reeds echoed with the sounds of people moving about, but Lin Beichen paid no heed.

He remembered that Eagle hadn't brought many people. If he counted carefully, he had already dealt with more than half of them. As long as he dealt with a few more, Eagle would definitely react.

At this point, Lin Beichen needed to replenish his energy in order to cope with whatever might happen next.

The sky was gradually turning white.

Lin Beichen knew that if he didn't find a breakthrough in a short time, things would become difficult once it was fully light.

Now, he was able to move freely among those men thanks to the cover of night and the reeds.

Once daylight broke, the men's field of vision widened, and given their experience living in the rainforest and their expertise in hunting, it was only a matter of time before Lin Beichen was discovered in the reeds.

The reed marshes are wetlands, so leaving footprints with every step is unavoidable.

These footprints could not be concealed in the reeds.

At that time, will those men who live in the rainforest year-round still be able to tell which footprints were just made?
Lin Beichen finished the biscuits in a few bites, patted the crumbs off his hands, and plunged into the reeds.

Time ticked by, and those on the outside could only hear screams coming from the reeds from time to time. Soon, there was no more noise from the reeds.

"ignition!"

The eagles and venomous snakes had retreated to the edge of the Burmese rainforest.

At Eagle's command, one of his men immediately stood up.

The group moved with practiced ease, pulling out lighters from their pockets, finding dry branches, tearing off pieces of cloth from their clothes, lighting them, and throwing them directly into the reeds.

Reed beds are obviously highly flammable.

As soon as the flame touched the reeds, the fluffy seeds on the reeds were quickly ignited.

In an instant, the fluffy seeds on the reeds caught fire one after another, and just as the river wind blew by, the fire spread several meters in a flash.

"Clap—Clap clap!"

The crackling sounds were incessant. By the time Lin Beichen realized what was happening, the reeds above his head had already caught fire. Flames swept across the area quickly, and eventually the reed stalks themselves began to burn.

The originally green reeds were set ablaze, causing the moisture to evaporate and making strange popping sounds, making the entire reed marsh as lively as a bustling market.

Lin Beichen took a deep breath and ran quickly out of the reeds.

"Fire!"

An eagle watched all this from afar at the edge of the rainforest.

When he heard the sounds of living creatures coming from the reeds, he shouted orders to his men, spittle flying everywhere.

Seeing this, his men picked up their weapons and indiscriminately fired into the reeds.

Bullets kept flying past Lin Beichen, and the sonic booms made his eardrums ache.

The burning reeds above kept falling on Lin Beichen, covering his head, arms, and other parts of his body with these annoying fluffy particles.

Whenever the fluff landed on him, Lin Beichen would instinctively try to brush it off, but with each large movement, more fluff would land on him.

Suddenly, Lin Beichen felt his vision go dark, and everything around him began to slowly become blurry.

He looked into the distance and saw the yellow river water churning, mixed with patches of red substance. Not far away, a section of a snake's body came into view.

His limbs gradually lost strength, and his eyelids began to close uncontrollably.

Lin Beichen's consciousness gradually became blurred.

His strong will to survive brought a familiar scene to mind.

The river in front of him was gone, replaced by his familiar bed from his unit.

The bed, made of simple wooden planks and an iron frame, seemed to possess some kind of magic, constantly beckoning Lin Beichen and making him unconsciously quicken his pace toward it.

Lin Beichen's mind was filled with a longing for sleep, or more accurately, a longing for that bed.

That familiar, soft touch had already touched Lin Beichen's body; just one step away, just one step away from him being completely immersed in that softness. (End of Chapter)
