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

He was finally safe! This was wonderful; he had finally escaped a bloody disaster. Wang Baozi was overjoyed, a smile spreading across his face. He said to Lin Beichen:

"Without your help, Taoist Master, I might really have died."

"I don't want to leave yet, and I hope I can be of help..."

His intention was to help Lin Beichen.

Having received such a great favor from Lin Beichen, how could he possibly just pack up and leave?

Wang Baozi is very brave. Anyone with eyes can see how dangerous it is to follow Lin Beichen.

"Are you sure? I can't guarantee your safety if you stay by my side. Accidents can happen at any time, and even I can't guarantee I'll be alright."

Lin Beichen was not joking when he said that.

They're not playing house.

Faced with Lin Beichen's solemn warning, Wang Baozi pondered for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he quickly looked at Lin Beichen with a firm gaze and solemnly said:
"I have decided."

"Even if something happens to me, I will have no regrets."

"I also love adventure. To be honest, I probably can't go back to that kind of life anymore."

Wang Baozi laughed at the end.

He laughed very freely, perhaps just as he said.

Having experienced so much and witnessed such a wonderful world, it would be very difficult for him to return to his previous lifestyle. He doesn't want to leave yet.

Rather than saying he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude,
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Wang Baozi also wanted to see this vast world.

Hidden within the secret caves of the Kunlun Mountains is a secret industrial base, built by the people of Japan at great expense.

It's unknown how much manpower and resources were spent building this secret base.

This is a massive undertaking in itself.

In establishing this secret base, they also needed to maintain secrecy. Considering various factors, it's clear how incredibly valuable this secret base was.

It's impossible for the people of Japan to build such a secret base without a reason.

This also indirectly illustrates the importance of this outpost.

The glass test tubes varied in size, some as large as a human body, others only as thick as a finger. They contained all sorts of bizarre contents, some models of human organs, others unknown and unusual drugs. Everything about this secret hideout seemed shrouded in mystery.

"I'm sure everyone here is already aware of the current situation in China. What are your thoughts on this? Is our base safe? Should we relocate?" one of the researchers said, chewing gum.

He appeared quite relaxed.

That being said, he didn't seem to take the topic seriously. The others, while eating and drinking, laughed and replied, "It's perfectly safe here."

"Who would have thought we'd end up in a cave in the Kunlun Mountains?"

"We put in a lot of effort to create this. It would be ridiculous if the Chinese found out so easily." And that was indeed the case.

Discovering their secret hideout is extremely difficult.

As long as there are no internal problems and no one leaks information about this place...
Then they are absolutely safe.

"Alright, alright, we're running out of test subjects. Who's going to go out and collect some more?"

"Sigh, let's keep a low profile for now."

"There's no rush for the research. The continuous transport of experimental subjects will eventually attract the attention of the Chinese people, especially at such a crucial moment. After this round of experimental subject transport, let's all keep a low profile. If we can avoid going out, let's stay home and focus on our previous research."

"Let's wait until this storm has passed before discussing anything else."

While they were chatting, Lin Beichen and his group had already quietly approached their location. At this moment, Lin Beichen and his group had arrived above this secret base. The base set up by the Japanese was indeed well-hidden; Lin Beichen and his group were not detected even after arriving above it. The ground was covered in snow, and the surrounding temperature had dropped to tens of degrees below zero.

As he spoke, white breath continuously escaped from his mouth.

Spitting on something will freeze it into an ice cube instantly.

"This godforsaken place seems to have no problem with its dragon vein."

"Presumably, the people of Japan wouldn't expend so much manpower and resources to cause trouble here." Yu Tian slowly exhaled, his eyebrows already covered with a layer of frost.

He simply doesn't like this cold environment.

After a brief inspection and finding no problems, he decided to leave.

However, he only made a suggestion; the final decision rests with Lin Beichen.

Yu Feng didn't seem to care about this.

He still appreciates these kinds of world wonders.

"We've finally made it to Kunlun Mountain, and climbed here so many times, it's taken us so much time and energy. Why rush down? Why not explore a bit?" Yu Feng truly lived up to his reputation as a brave but reckless individual.

Exploring in such an extreme environment for one night is extremely risky.

If we are not careful, we may face the risk of layoffs.

However, Yu Feng was indeed right.

At least Wang Baozi shares his views on this point.

Wang Baozi was a photography enthusiast to begin with, and the various thrilling experiences he had along the way seemed to have flipped a switch in his body. His passion for photography became unstoppable; for example, he really wanted to experience the extreme cold of the Kunlun Mountains more.

Perhaps this is what they mean by experiencing pain and pleasure simultaneously.

The cold wind of the night cut through the air like a knife.

The stinging wind stung their skin, yet they continued to patrol the area. First, they needed to find a sheltered spot to escape the cold and wind; only then could they safely spend the night. Most teams wouldn't dare to rush in so recklessly.

They dared to do this because Lin Beichen was there.

Lin Beichen is the core of this team; as long as he is there, they can avoid misfortune and attract good fortune.

He was like a human detector, able to determine the course of their journey even before entering the Kunlun Mountains. Therefore, Lin Beichen was currently leading the group towards a pre-prepared cave entrance to avoid the cold. No unexpected incidents occurred during their journey.

Everyone present was exceptionally skilled.

Even Wang Baozi, who is the least skilled, is an outdoor photography enthusiast.

With Lin Beichen and Yu Feng lending a hand from time to time, everything turned out alright without any real danger.

……

Kasuga Aozora was the person in charge of transporting the experimental subjects this time.

The area around Kunlun Mountain is sparsely populated to begin with, and there are even fewer people at night.

Therefore, they always transported the test subjects at night to ensure they were never detected. This was already the fifth time Kasuga Aozora had traveled this route up and down the mountain. He was extremely familiar with the routes up and down Kunlun Mountain.

On a snow-covered mountainside, where nothing seemed out of the ordinary, a large, bluish-gray rock had far less snow on it than the rest of the mountain.

This doesn't seem out of place in a world covered in snow.

But in the next moment, the large blue rock seemed to move. Amidst the howling wind and snow, a cracking sound could be faintly heard. In an instant, the rock split open. The mechanism was triggered, and a head emerged from within.

Just as Chunri Qingkong was about to take his left foot, he saw several blurry figures moving in the distance. Faced with this situation, his first reaction wasn't to run, but rather to think:

"That's strange. According to the previous plan, they should have gone down the mountain to retrieve the experimental subjects themselves. Why are these people coming up on their own? That can't be right! Could they not be the same group?"

After a brief moment of thought, Haruhi Aozora, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly changed her expression.

The large rock made another series of cracking sounds.

The spring sky slipped back underground.

Sitting under the large rock, Chunri Qingkong began to think about how to deal with the situation.

Should we turn back the way we came and report the situation here, or should we handle it ourselves?

"Do I need to be so nervous?"

"Looking at it from another angle, isn't this a good thing? They're practically test subjects delivered to my doorstep. Once I get rid of those people, I won't even bother going down the mountain. In Chinese terms..."

A slight smile curved Chunri Qingkong's lips. The panicked look on his face had vanished without a trace, replaced by confidence and a hint of arrogant arrogance.

"When you're sleepy, I'll bring you a pillow."

"It's truly a blessing from heaven!"

It has to be said that he oversimplified things.

Actually, his idea wasn't entirely wrong. Kunlun Mountain is a place that is sparsely populated.

Those who come here are basically people who are not afraid of death, like adventure, and seek thrills.

Perhaps their physical condition is indeed quite good, but Kasuga Aozora has the home advantage.

The physical exertion required to climb from the foot of the Kunlun Mountains to this point is unimaginable.

After a day of trekking, they must be quite exhausted.

With his skills, he can easily defeat the opponent if the opponent is caught off guard.

"I was just scaring myself, this is a good thing."

Spring Sky hesitated slightly; he still didn't intend to act alone.

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," and he didn't want to take any risks; having more people meant more security.

Of course, Kasuga Aozora did not intend to report this matter to anyone else.

He planned to bring his best friend along. His best friend also worked as a transporter of experimental subjects.

In this secret stronghold, they were the lowest in status.

However, this doesn't have much of an impact, since they come here to work in order to make money.

They may not have a high social status, but they can earn significantly more money here than in China.

You can earn more money in a lifetime by doing odd jobs for a few years.

Countless people would fight tooth and nail for something like this.

He quickly shared the news with his best friend, who was also his childhood sweetheart.

“That really scared me to death. I’ve been here for so long, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone run up to the Kunlun Mountains. It looks like there are quite a few people, at least four or five. Let’s go together.”

Spring Blue Sky told her best friend what she had learned.

Upon hearing this, his friend Shinno Mirai also fell into deep thought.

With this batch of test subjects, they will definitely be able to conduct research for a long time. The situation is different now than before; the atmosphere in China is extremely tense these days.

Every move they made was like walking a tightrope high in the air.

A single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Not to mention that the quality of recent test subjects has been getting worse and worse.

The number of test subjects is also gradually decreasing. Now they can only bring back two or three test subjects at most at a time, and if they're unlucky, they might only get one. This has slowed down the research progress.

Furthermore, stale experimental samples can affect research results.

"With this batch of experimental subjects, we can call it a day."

“At this rate, we’ll be exposed sooner or later. Even if we hadn’t encountered this batch of experimental subjects, we wouldn’t be able to continue after we go down the mountain again. We’ll need some time to recover.”

"Now that we have this batch of experimental subjects, it goes without saying."

Niino Mirai said this.

Indeed, as he said, the test subjects have become increasingly difficult to handle recently.

Moreover, the quality is getting worse and worse, which has seriously delayed the research progress.

Now that they have such a fresh batch of test subjects, how could they not be happy? With this new group of experimental subjects, they can keep quiet for a long time, at least they won't have to take such great risks and travel around. It can be said that Lin Beichen and his group have already been targeted by them.

At this point, they had been treated as prey.

However, the relationship between hunter and prey is always mutual.

"Do you think we should report this news?"

Spring sunshine suddenly posed this question.

He actually knew that his words were superfluous.

Would those high-ranking researchers really give them more staff?
When asked by her friend Kasuga Aozora, Shinno Mirai simply gave a noncommittal smirk.

Expecting those high-ranking researchers to give them advice is simply impossible, a pipe dream! They're already short-staffed; why would they send more? Besides, they're only dealing with four or five ordinary people. The fact that they got this rare job speaks volumes about their skills.

"Let's rely on ourselves."

“We can’t count on them. The two of us can actually handle this,” Shinno Mirai said.

Solve the problem first and then report it; that way, it can be considered a great achievement.

"Those gentlemen are really annoying, but the money they offer is indeed hard to refuse. With such fresh, live test subjects, they probably can't wait to conduct live experiments. Those gentlemen are really crazy."

"I'm still shaken," said Chunri Qingkong.

He still remembers how terrifying the men looked at him.

He was even certain that if they hadn't been short-handed, he would have been captured and subjected to live experiments. Fortunately, those men were somewhat rational enough not to use their own people for experiments.

"Haha, that's absolutely right!"
For their sake and for the money, I have to pull myself together.

Once this mission is successful, we can go back and enjoy life. Safety should be our top priority, though.

It's definitely safer to travel together; that's for sure. (End of Chapter)
