The two had already envisioned a wonderful future together, but they had underestimated the complexity of the situation.

They completely failed to consider that things might turn out badly, thinking themselves the hunters, unaware that they had become the prey.

High-level hunters often appear as prey, and Lin Beichen is clearly no ordinary person.

Meanwhile, outside the cave entrance.

The wind and snow raged, and the howling cold wind kept blowing.

Everything in sight was a vast expanse of white, and all you could hear was the howling wind.

Lin Beichen silently led the way, seemingly unaware of anything.

But did he really not notice anything at all? Impossible. He had just heard the faint sound of a mechanism activating. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be someone in this area.

As for why we can't see it?

That is naturally impossible to see.

In such an extremely harsh environment, it is impossible for a person to survive.

The people who exist here must live in some cave, or perhaps some place here has been transformed into a habitable place using a large amount of resources. But Lin Beichen is not a god; although he deduced this, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

The sound of the wind and snow was so loud that it severely impaired his hearing and judgment.

There is a cave ahead, or more accurately, a ravine.

There are mountain walls on both sides to block the wind and snow, making it difficult for them to get in.

This is indeed a good place to shelter from the wind and snow. It is not easy to find such a place to shelter from the wind and snow in such a long time in the midst of this heavy snow.

"Lin Beichen, did you hear anything just now?"

After arriving at this place where they could take shelter from the wind and snow, no one spoke.

Zhang San was the first to speak, and he immediately asked Lin Beichen about this matter.

In fact, he had just heard some strange noises, but he couldn't be sure if he had heard them correctly. The sound of the wind and snow was too loud, and even a soldier like him, a top-ranking individual, found it hard to bear.

But sometimes, he trusts his intuition more.

It was precisely this sixth sense and intuition that allowed him to survive numerous dangerous combat missions. But Lin Beichen had never said anything; he too was beginning to doubt his own judgment.

Normally, if I can sense it, Lin Beichen should be able to sense it too.

That's why he asked Lin Beichen if he had heard anything earlier.

The others looked at each other, all feeling somewhat bewildered.

Yu Feng and Yu Tian exchanged a glance, completely baffled by the situation.

Wang Baozi also looked confused. He hadn't heard any noise, but he felt the situation couldn't be that simple. Zhang San must have some confidence to say that.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Lin Beichen.

They were all waiting for Lin Beichen's answer.

If there really is a problem, then it will be troublesome.

Being in the dark while we are in the light is a very disadvantageous situation.

Sensing the solemnity in everyone's eyes, Lin Beichen smiled nonchalantly.

Just when everyone else thought nothing was wrong, he said, "No wonder he's a king of individual soldiers!"

The situation is quite clear: apart from Zhang San, no one else noticed the subtle commotion just now. The title of "King of Soldiers" is indeed well-deserved; he's certainly a very good helper.

"With you by my side, I can relax a lot more."

"I barely noticed the commotion just now, I didn't expect you to notice it too. But that's normal, after all, you're a top-ranking soldier, it's not surprising that you have this kind of judgment."

Lin Beichen's words alerted everyone else.

Zhang San's expression also turned serious.

He wasn't entirely sure, but Lin Beichen's words solidified his belief. It seemed his previous assessment was correct; there was definitely something fishy going on in Kunlun Mountain.

Apart from Zhang San, the expressions of the others changed drastically.

Even Sha Po Lang, who had been silent all along, showed a rare expression of distress.

If he's not mistaken, there should be Japanese people here as well.

But what did that have to do with him? Sha Po Lang was already certain of how important the intelligence he had provided to China was. In this situation, he had no way out.

There's only one path left to take.

He had completely ruined the grand plan of the Sakura Kingdom.

Going back would be a certain death sentence, and it would also implicate his wife, children, and elderly parents.

Sha Po Lang misses his family very much.

He missed his wife and children very much.

But it was precisely because he missed them that he decided not to go back.

As long as I live in hiding in China, the Japanese will never know about my betrayal. Too many people have died; they might even mistakenly believe I died in a mission, thus allowing my family to receive a compensation payment.

His mind wavered for only a moment.

He quickly reaffirmed his inner thoughts.

At the same time, Sha Po Lang also noticed Lin Beichen's subtle gaze.

Lin Beichen noticed even that momentary wavering.

It is conceivable how terrifying and unfathomable Lin Beichen's strength is.

Making an enemy of this person is absolutely the most unwise choice! This person is truly terrifying.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? If you do, you can provide me with the information. I will remember every merit you have made, and I can use these merits to make amends or exchange them for benefits for you. You can live in China with peace of mind from now on." Lin Beichen had already learned about the situation of Sha Po Lang.

It can be said that there is no turning back for Sha Po Lang.

Even if Lin Beichen asked him to return to Japan, he would never go back.

Going back would only lead to certain death, and it would also bring trouble to my family.

That's why Lin Beichen made such a request to Sha Po Lang and made such a promise.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Lin Beichen, but I dare not take credit for it."

Sha Po Lang dared not be negligent and immediately told everything he knew.

First, he wasn't sure if the information he provided was accurate.

This is also the main reason why he said he dared not take credit.

The veracity of these messages cannot be confirmed; they should only be used as a reference.

However, Lin Beichen seemed quite satisfied with the information he provided, which relieved Sha Polang. At the same time, he became even more determined to follow Lin Beichen. Compared to following others, following this lord offered the best future; at least he didn't discriminate against him.

As long as I perform well, even if I don't become extremely wealthy, I can at least live out the rest of my life peacefully in China.

Better to live a wretched life than to die a glorious death, let alone live with dignity. Unbeknownst to them, Lin Beichen had become the pillar of support for Sha Po Lang.

"The information I have does not mention anything about the Kunlun Mountains."

"Judging from this situation, there can only be one possibility: either there is a force in Kunlun Mountain that is not part of the plan, or this place is not part of the plan. Lord Lin Beichen and this other lord both heard the commotion just now, so we can rule out the latter possibility. There must be something wrong here."

The analysis by Sha Po Lang is correct.

His analysis further convinced the others that there was something wrong in the Kunlun Mountains.

"Excellent, excellent, very insightful analysis."

"If Kunlun Mountain wasn't in the plan, then there's only one possibility besides no arrangement at all."

Yu Tian nodded in agreement.

There may indeed be a great secret hidden in the Kunlun Mountains.

Not only Yu Tian understood, but Wang Baozi and Yu Feng, both laymen, also grasped the concept.

Lin Beichen and Zhang San already knew this, and the group had already concluded that enemies were watching them, but apart from talking, they did not take any other action.

What is their purpose in doing this? Is it to lull people into complacency or to let their guard down?
Or perhaps it's a case of luring someone into a trap.

Pretend you know nothing, that nothing has happened, and quietly wait for the enemy to arrive.

Everyone seemed completely unprepared, and at first glance, there were flaws everywhere.

In fact, all of this is an illusion.

Their purpose in doing this was to lower the enemy's guard and make the enemy lurking in the shadows think that they were just ordinary people.

Once the other party has this misunderstanding, things will be much easier to handle.

What Lin Beichen and his team feared most was that the hidden enemy wouldn't show up, since they didn't know where the enemy's hideout was. Therefore, the best course of action now was to pretend they knew nothing and maintain their original strategy.

What everyone needs now is rest.

"Fortunately, we brought plenty of food this time, enough to last us three days and two nights without any problems. We're really lucky to have found this cave."

"If we hadn't found this place, this night would have been really difficult."

Yu Feng's excited voice came from inside the cave.

This guy has a really loud voice.

However, this was all an act on his part; to be precise, he did it deliberately.

It has to be said that, knowing how the plan was to be implemented, everyone felt that Yu Feng's acting was a bit exaggerated. However, they didn't say anything; this seemingly exaggerated acting might just be the most effective.

Not everyone knows that they are aware of the current situation.

As long as one doesn't know this beforehand, Yu Feng's acting skills are still quite good.

Outside the cave, Shinno Mirai and Kasuga Aozora were lying in ambush.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the two lay prone in the snow. They were dressed entirely in white, and by lying there, they were completely invisible.

Even with careful observation, it may not be noticeable.

Such a heavy snowstorm blurred vision and impaired hearing. In such extreme conditions, all five senses were severely limited. That's why Shinno Mirai and Kasuga Aozora dared to lie so brazenly at the cave entrance! They did this to ensure the safety of everyone inside the cave.

In their eyes, the experimental subjects in the cave were already theirs. Naturally, they didn't want any accidents to happen along the way, nor did they want Lin Beichen and the others to get hurt. In their view, living experimental subjects were the most valuable.

What worries the two of them most now is not how to take down Lin Beichen and the others.

Their biggest worry now is how to capture Lin Beichen and his group without harming them.

After a brief discussion, they quickly decided on the final plan.

The best way to ensure these people are completely safe is to drug them.

However, if you want to administer the medicine in this snowy weather, the dosage must be exceptionally large.

Fortunately, they brought these things with them when they went out.

As for why they carry such things with them when they go out, it's naturally for emergencies. During their previous trips down the mountain to receive experimental subjects, they engaged in some shady dealings. They were lawless in China and had no concept of the law.

"The dosage may be large, but I believe they won't notice."

"Go to the cave entrance and scatter these things there. We'll stay away for a while, and when they're completely unable to resist, we'll come back to collect the bodies. Do it this way."

Shinno Mirai said to Kasuga Aozora.

Faced with Shinno Mirai's order, Kasuga Aozora replied somewhat reluctantly, "Why do you want me to go? Can't you go? Why do you have to make me go?"

He was just complaining.

In fact, letting him go is indeed the best option.

When it comes to administering drugs, Kasuga Aozora is the most skilled.

He had done similar things before, so he just complained.

The nature of their relationship goes without saying. While complaining, Kasuga Aozora was already taking action. He skillfully handled everything and then made a run for it. Shinno Mirai followed closely behind him, and the two quickly left the area in front of the cave.

Their purpose in doing this was not only to better conceal themselves, but also to prevent themselves from being drugged by the drugs they had given themselves.

Obviously, they wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

What they didn't realize was that everything they did had already been exposed to Lin Beichen and his group. Others might not have noticed yet, but Lin Beichen and Zhang San were able to detect it immediately and warn everyone how to take precautions. Their insight far surpassed that of ordinary people; even Yu Feng and Yu Tian, ​​who were also former special forces soldiers, couldn't match them.

"There's poisonous gas, everyone be careful."

"However, it is not highly poisonous; it is just a drug that makes people fall asleep."

Lin Beichen gave a reminder, and instructed everyone: "If you are not confident that you can fake your unconsciousness convincingly, just let yourself be drugged. That way, you can save a lot of trouble."

"With me and Zhang San here, everything will be fine."

Look how confident he is; it shows he has enough confidence in his own abilities.

Yu Feng and Yu Tian were naturally no problem; they were both professionals.

Everyone here is not only physically agile but also possesses exceptional mental fortitude.

Whether it was Lin Beichen, Zhang San, Yu Tian, ​​Yu Feng, or even Sha Po Lang, who was temporarily captured, they all possessed such qualities. However, among this group, only Wang Baozi seemed at a loss.

At this moment, Wang Baozi's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Looking around, he seemed to feel that he was the only one who did not meet the criteria.

He harbored resentment towards Lin Beichen, secretly thinking: You might as well just call me out by name.

Among this group of people, I am the only one who does not meet the standard.

Wang Baozi wasn't someone who didn't know his limits. He immediately said, "I might not be able to handle it, so I won't take the antidote. I'll just pass out in a bit."

"I trust you guys, brothers, I'm counting on you."

Wang Baozi looked like he was about to cry but had no tears left. (End of Chapter)
