"Don't say I'm forcing you. If you help me this time, we can be friends afterward. I still admire experts like you, it's just that times have changed."

As he spoke, he twirled his gun.

The bright silver Desert Eagle in his hand was particularly dazzling.

What good is high martial arts skill? As long as the gun is fast enough, that's enough.

After a while, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng exchanged a glance, seemingly having made up their minds.

Then, Yu Feng nodded to Lin Beichen and said:

"Fine, but are you sure you really want to cooperate with us? Is this how you treat your partners?" That's true, what kind of business is it to point a gun at your partners?

Of course, Lin Beichen didn't expect these few words to lower the other party's guard.

The man in front of me, Hack, is no fool.

He was certain that the two people in front of him posed a great threat to him.

Although Rum and Jack were useless, they died silently at the hands of these two, which was enough to show that these two were quite capable. I would only feel at ease if I pointed a gun at them.

Only in this way can he feel safe.

"Do you really think I'm stupid? I'll only believe you when you actually get to the island in the lake. Now, you'd better come with me to the island."

It's only safe once you reach the island in the lake.

Once they got there, the two of them were sitting ducks.

If they dare to have any improper thoughts, they will not leave alive.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng naturally knew that the other side wouldn't easily put away their guns, and they didn't hold out much hope. This was only part of the plan; they could still set up their operations once they reached the island in the lake. In any case, Viper wouldn't cause any major trouble in dealing with the Rock Organization.

This is at most a case of dogs fighting each other.

After tonight, they will obtain a lot of useful information.

Providing this crucial intelligence to Chen Lin would undoubtedly make the operation of the Chinese forces smoother. However, there were too many variables, and if they could avoid going to the island in the lake, they naturally wouldn't want to go. After all, they weren't true members of the Wave Organization.

One careless move and you might expose a flaw.

They had dealt with venomous snakes before, and the snakes had some recollection of them.

If their skin hadn't recently gotten so tanned that it resembled the skin tone of Burmese people, their Chinese identity would have been immediately obvious. Fortunately, they both knew a little bit of foreign languages, so normal communication wasn't a problem, and their accents weren't too hard to detect.

……

Meanwhile, near the small house where Lin Beichen was recuperating.

"They left after dinner, probably to investigate the Rock Organization. They haven't come back for so long, I hope something's happened to them?" Maya said with some concern.

She had a pretty good impression of Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

Moreover, these two people were people they had been taking care of for a long time.

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Naturally, they would worry.

Moreover, these two were their hope for revenge, and they could be considered friends with each other.

Ma Li accepted Lin Beichen's pistol, a symbol of their friendship.

"I'll go check. If I don't come back, you take the old man and leave here immediately."

Maya looked worried, and so did Mali.

He subconsciously touched the pistol in his pocket, his eyes growing increasingly determined.

For his friends and for revenge, he could not back down.

The thought of his mother's tragic death at the hands of those thugs plunged Ma Li into endless anguish. He hated himself for choosing to back down and felt immense remorse for his cowardice.

If time could turn back, I would give him another chance.

Ma Li would not hesitate to die with his mother.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life, and time can't be turned back.

Now, another choice lies before him.

He hated that he could still hesitate and feel fear.

His right hand clenched into a fist, and his grip on the gun trembled slightly. Despite his resolute words, fear was still present; it was in his nature.

“If we’re going, let’s go together. I can help out.”

"Don't underestimate me. Even if you have a pistol, you might not be able to dodge the arrows I shoot."

Maya also wanted to go with Mali to help.

Previously, she had used that primitive bow and arrow to kill Black Tiger; such skill was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Perhaps she thought Ma Li would be happy to let her accompany her, but the two argued about it. At this moment, the old man walked over, gently patted Maya's shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Let him handle this alone; don't go and cause trouble."

"This is his own decision. Even if he dies at the hands of the original organization, he won't regret it." The old man was shrewd and could naturally see through Ma Li's true thoughts.

"OK then."

In the end, Maya had no choice but to compromise.

Unwilling to waste any more time, Ma Li slung a bag of dry rations over his shoulder and headed towards the island in the lake where the Rock Organization was located. He had already prepared for the worst, and even if Lin Beichen and Yu Feng had fallen into the hands of the Primitive Organization, he did not intend to return alive.

For him, every day over the years has been an ordeal.

Every night, he would dream of his mother dying tragically before his eyes.

The pain was unbearable, making him wish he were dead. But he didn't want to die in vain; he wanted revenge, at least to take a few of his enemies with him before he died, so that he could atone for his mother's sins. However, so many years passed, and he still hadn't found the right opportunity.

"Mom, I will avenge you. I will make those beasts pay the price."

"Whether for myself or for my friends, I will never back down this time. I don't want to be a coward again," Ma Li kept encouraging himself.

Fear was still there, but he forcibly overcame it to uphold his principles. That's what makes a true warrior; he deserves the title of a real man.

Hua Hua Hua——

A rustling sound kept ringing in my ears.

Along the way, Ma Li occasionally encountered a few venomous snakes, but he subconsciously ignored them.

Snakes, insects, ants, and beasts in the mountains and forests usually do not provoke humans without reason.

To them, humans are a terrifying presence.

Where there are people, these snakes, insects, and ants will deliberately avoid them. Like in the nearby villages, snakes, insects, and ants are rarely seen. Their tracks are only found on these secluded paths. But that's no big deal.

About fifteen minutes later, Ma Li arrived at the edge of the minefield.

Upon arriving here, he deliberately slowed his pace.

If there are enemies ahead, making too much noise will definitely be noticed.

In fact, the situation was pretty much as he had expected.

As soon as he arrived at this area where he and Lin Beichen had been before, he saw Lin Beichen and Yu Feng crouching on the ground with their hands behind their heads, and a man next to them pointing a gun at them.

The silver pistol was very conspicuous.

It is also very deterrent.

One can imagine that this silver pistol must be quite powerful.

"Gudong."

Ma Li subconsciously swallowed, feeling extremely nervous about the situation.

He instinctively reached for the pistol tucked into his right hip, but he was not very skilled with firearms.

Bullets are also a scarce resource. In other words, Ma Li hasn't fired a single shot since he got the gun.

Although he knew the steps to fire, he couldn't guarantee accuracy. His palms were sweating profusely with nervousness. Even if he could fire unexpectedly, he wasn't sure he could hit the target accurately.

But if he doesn't fire, is he just supposed to watch helplessly?
Or should he just foolishly rush in? Ma Li immediately rejected this idiotic idea. Rushing in would definitely not end well; at best, he would only give the other side another bargaining chip, which wouldn't save Lin Beichen at all. He had to think of a solution.

"What should I do? What should I do? If only I had brought Maya with me earlier," Ma Li thought with regret. If Maya were here, she could definitely break this deadlock.

The Maya had exceptional archery skills.

They could definitely kill this person with a single shot.

Indirectly eliminating an enemy—that could be considered revenge, right…? Ma Li thought to himself. But then he shook his head, realizing that this was just his subconscious escapism, an unwillingness to face reality. If he chose to run away now, how would he be any different from his past self? Absolutely no different.

"I want to stay, and I want to do my part."

Ma Li finally revealed these words.

This is the last chance; if we miss it, we may never have another chance for revenge. After all, these enemies will soon be dealt with by the official Chinese forces.

In this situation, he could indeed choose to stand by and do nothing.

But Ma Li couldn't get over his own mental hurdle.

He still feels guilty about his past cowardice.

He didn't want to make amends to others; he just wanted to prove himself, to prove that he hadn't run away simply out of fear. Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were both somewhat baffled by Ma Li's decision.

Are you sure you want to stay and help? It doesn't really matter whether you're here or not.

Yu Feng was straightforward and spoke his mind, blurting out everything on his mind.

What he said was true, and Ma Li must have known that in his heart as well.

"I...I want revenge."

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Li still managed to say the word "revenge".

This is of utmost importance to him; it is his obsession, and he will never let the opportunity slip by.

"If you want revenge, I can help you arrange it. After all, you did help us this time," Lin Beichen promised Ma Li after a moment's thought.

Ma Li is quite familiar with this area.

With him as a guide, things will be much easier for the Chinese soldiers.

Moreover, he is absolutely reliable; his hatred for the Rock Organization is genuine. This also serves to repay the favor he owed him, as Lin Beichen dislikes owing favors.

Even if Ma Li hadn't appeared, things wouldn't have caused any major trouble, given the situation just now.

But no matter what, Ma Li helped them.

"thanks, thanks."

Ma Li was extremely excited, never expecting Lin Beichen to take on this task so readily.

He also knew that this was partly due to his previous help.

Next, Lin Beichen told Chen Lin about the situation in detail, asking her to report the fact that there was a particularly reliable guide to the Chinese government forces.

Chen Lin was somewhat surprised when she heard the news, but she immediately agreed. This was not a difficult task for the official Chinese military.

As long as the person is confirmed to be reliable, that's fine.

"You really do seem to run into helpful people wherever you go; your luck has always been this good."

There was something strange about Chen Lin's tone.

Lin Beichen has always been lucky, but it's not just about good luck.

There are also some metaphysical elements involved.

"Taoist arts are so effective, and divination is so accurate, why don't you teach me sometime?"

Chen Lin's sudden remark almost caught Lin Beichen off guard.

Lin Beichen could only wave his hands repeatedly in refusal.

"This depends a lot on fate and talent. It's not really suitable for you to learn this at your age."

"Besides, we're seriously discussing the mission right now."

The implication is that now is not the time for idle chatter.

Chen Lin was quite displeased with Lin Beichen's lack of romantic understanding.

It's really not good to talk too much about things unrelated to the task while performing it.

But the key point is that this isn't a time of extreme urgency.

After that, other people will take over the related tasks, and Lin Beichen and Yu Feng will no longer need to help.

Their task is to protect themselves in the aftermath.

Don't let this incident leave any lasting health problems.

Is that all? Can't I even say a few words of gossip? Am I that annoying in Lin Beichen's eyes? Am I a woman who can't even grasp this basic tact? How annoying! I know perfectly well how urgent the mission is.

Chen Lin was seething with anger.

Then he hung up the phone with a "click".

"Dududu-"

The phone went dead, and Lin Beichen was speechless for a moment.

Yu Feng, standing to the side, said gloatingly, "She's interested in that matter. You can just give her a few perfunctory replies. Why take it so seriously? You can't possibly not realize Chen Lin's feelings for you, can you? No way, no way. You can even master something as profound as fortune-telling. How could you not see her feelings for you? Oh, I get it. You're just pretending to be confused."

People's feelings are indeed not the same.

Lin Beichen could only shake his head helplessly at Yu Feng's gloating.

What kind of time is this to be thinking about these things? He was well aware of Chen Lin's thoughts.

But Lin Beichen had no such thoughts at all.

Emotions only affect the speed at which he draws his gun.

These thoughts should not be entertained until life becomes stable.

Before setting off, Ma Li had no idea he would encounter such a situation.

It's too late to regret it now. We can't possibly turn back now and bring Maya over. That would take so much time, and by the time we get back, Yu Feng and Lin Beichen probably won't be able to hold on any longer.

After much deliberation, Ma Li could only come up with one solution.

That's just taking a chance, trying anything as a last resort.

"boom!"

A gunshot broke the silence.

The bullet shot out of the gun barrel.

Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out.

Someone has been shot; it seems the shot worked.

The sudden gunshot stunned everyone present. Hack was shot directly in the shoulder, and blood gushed out. Although Lin Beichen was also taken aback, he did not let go of this excellent opportunity. Taking advantage of Hack's relaxed vigilance due to being shot, he decisively made his move.

With a sweeping leg kick, Hack was knocked to the ground.

He then swiftly snatched the Desert Eagle from Hark's hand in one fluid motion. (End of Chapter)
