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

Seeing this, Lin Beichen glanced at Sha Polang and then said, "Go and talk to your two compatriots."

"You're all on the same side, so I'm sure you'll be able to communicate well."

The current lack of intelligence is too severe, and the biological warfare project of the Japanese nation is of paramount importance.

Lin Beichen couldn't possibly be indifferent to this matter. Compared to killing these two people from the Sakura Kingdom right now, the best course of action was to keep them alive.

Those who are alive are the most valuable; they must know a great deal of information.

Or perhaps Lin Beichen's real purpose was to keep them as role models.

These two are merely small fish; the real big fish are still at the stronghold in the Kunlun Mountains. Let's subdue these two small fish first, then go and capture the big fish and train them properly.

If they can subdue those big fish, Japan's biochemical plan will fall apart on its own.

Sha Po Lang felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a slight sense of smug satisfaction.

He thought he would never have another chance to be used, but unexpectedly, his time to prove himself came so soon. He had been eager to perform, as this was the only way to ensure his own safety.

No way, no way, does anyone really think that saying they won't kill you means they really won't? If you're no longer of any use, you're going to die sooner or later anyway, it's just a matter of time.

Only by continuously making meritorious contributions can one save their own life.

He is still very aware of his situation.

Therefore, we chose to cooperate immediately.

He even put on an act of being a fellow countryman meeting another countryman, with tears welling up in his eyes.

“I’ve been there too. It’s not shameful to do this. It’s not disgraceful to do this in order to survive.”

"Why risk your life for such a small amount of money?" Sha Polang began his earnest and heartfelt persuasion. His words were effective; Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai quickly realized the truth. To be honest, they just wanted a way to save face, feeling that this was too humiliating.

If they just become traitors without a second thought, wouldn't that make them look cheap?

Even if their companions don't say anything, they will feel guilty inside.

Anyone with even a shred of conscience would find it hard to live with themselves.

But at this moment, they feel they've succeeded.

It seems there's probably no problem. As this guy said, nothing is a problem when it comes to survival. We should cherish life while we're alive; if we die, we have nothing left. Whether we've done something right or wrong, only by living can we see the trajectory of the future.

Even Sha Po Lang whispered to his two companions, "We're not traitors now, but waiting for the right moment! We're soldiers who have infiltrated the enemy. To avoid arousing suspicion, we have no choice but to fully cooperate with their actions."

"It's part of the plan."

"So this was part of the plan."

Shinno Mirai's expression immediately lit up.

He hadn't understood it before, but now that he thought about it, it seemed to make sense. He immediately reiterated his stance to Lin Beichen and the others, this time feeling much more at ease.

Spring Blue Sky's situation was similar to his.

After confirming that the two people would fully cooperate, Lin Beichen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His gaze toward Sha Po Lang softened considerably.

Sha Po Lang also exchanged a glance with Lin Beichen, and he saw encouragement and affirmation in Lin Beichen's eyes. After confirming this, Sha Po Lang felt much more at ease.

So, it seems my life has been saved.

As for whether the two guys next to me can save their lives, that's none of my business.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

I'm living under someone else's roof these days, so how could I possibly meddle in other people's business?
What Sha Po Lang said just now was nothing but pure fabrication.

He knew that his two brothers just wanted some psychological comfort, and he wouldn't take it seriously.

Even Sha Po Lang has already seen their future.

Once they are no longer of any use, they will surely die.

First of all, these two guys must have Chinese blood on their hands.

They just happened to run into Lin Beichen and his group. If they had encountered a group of ordinary people, the outcome would have been predictable. Needless to say, they would have been captured by these two and used as test subjects.

These two people have just made their purpose clear.

He talked about some things he had done in the past.

They claimed that what they brought back to the mountain before were all corpses and had nothing to do with them.

They confessed to everything without ever participating in the massacre of Chinese people. Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai naively believed they could escape responsibility.

Seeing his companion's naive idea, Sha Po Lang could only shake his head.

Then, Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai noticed Wang Baozi lying on the ground nearby. Wang Baozi's symptoms were exactly the same as those of the drug they had given him, and they were shocked to see this.

I never imagined that someone could use their acting skills to such a masterful degree.

so horrible.

No wonder they hadn't noticed anything before.

It turns out that these people were all faking being unconscious, and they did it so convincingly.

The little schemes that had lingered in their minds vanished at this moment. In front of such a group of masterful actors, trying to play mind games was like an old man courting death.

Everyone saw the fleeting look of terror in Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai's eyes when they looked at the unconscious Wang Baozi. This left everyone speechless, but none of them pointed it out.

Clearly, these two had a wonderful misunderstanding about Wang Baozi.

"Yu Feng, you stay here and provide backup outside."

"The rest of you come with me. I hope you two don't try anything funny, or you'll face the consequences," Lin Beichen instructed, before leading the others to their destination. During this journey, Sha Polang continued to talk with the two from the Sakura Kingdom.

This is to do ideological work with them.

Similarly, Sha Po Lang was also an informant for Lin Beichen and his team.

If these two Japanese nationals had any ulterior motives, Sha Po Lang would report them immediately. Clearly, Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai were unaware that they had a spy among their ranks.

The three of them had a fairly pleasant conversation.

There was even a feeling of regret for not having met sooner.

Perhaps this is what is meant by sharing a similar plight.

"Sigh, we don't have the mind to do these things now. It's not worth risking our lives for that money. Even if we can't go back, I want to live. What's with all this so-called Bushido spirit?"

"I don't care at all."

"That's just a fabricated claim by His Majesty the Emperor." It was surprising that Shinno Mirai could come up with such a plausible explanation.

Sha Po Lang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this kid to see things so clearly.

The spirit of Bushido certainly exists, but it is definitely not something they just talk about.

"No matter what, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Let's take it one step at a time."

"I advise you to make more contributions. Only by making enough contributions can you live a comfortable life," Sha Po Lang said, making a point out of consideration for everyone being comrades.

He also felt the same way about the saying, "When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves; when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

However, he did not reveal the truth about it.

He simply said that earning more merit would make life a little more comfortable. The real meaning behind his words was—only by earning more merit could one survive safely; otherwise, one's life might not be safe. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could understand the implication.

On the surface, neither Kasuga Aozora nor Shinno Mirai seemed to grasp the deeper meaning behind their words, but what they actually meant remained unknown. Only they themselves knew what they were truly thinking.

In reality, there are only so many opportunities.

With each additional competitor, one's chances of survival diminish.

"Good brother, I'm sorry, I know you couldn't bring yourself to betray Sakura, so I'll have to take the blame. Good brother, if you die, I'll take care of your wife and children." Kasuga Aozora thought to himself, and he subconsciously glanced at Sha Po Lang.

If he's not mistaken, the main reason Sha Po Lang chatted with them for so long was to earn merit. Now, Sha Po Lang has probably already earned enough merit to save his life.

The spring sky showed no sign of anything unusual.

He acted as if nothing had happened.

The same was true of Shinno Mirai, who was standing next to him. Similarly, Shinno Mirai also had some other thoughts in his mind. He wasn't stupid, especially when it came to his own life and fortune.

His inner thoughts were similar to those of Kasuga no Aozora.

Of course, Shinno Mirai's brain is slightly better than Kasuga Aozora's.

He didn't think anyone else was any less intelligent than him. In his eyes, whatever he could think of, Kasuga Aozora could certainly think of as well; they were just keeping that understanding to themselves while pretending to be oblivious. Shinno Mirai saw through this but didn't say anything.

There's not much to say; maintaining the status quo is fine.

We've been friends for years, there's no need to ruin things.

You can only earn credit yourself; opportunities are few and far between.

Most importantly, Shinno Mirai understands the concept of substitutability. If only one person were arrested, that would be acceptable. The key is that their situations are very similar, and their roles are roughly the same.

In such circumstances, their substitutability becomes stronger.

Of the two, only one could possibly survive.

Once inside that secret laboratory, perhaps only one researcher from that base will survive. Of course, these Chinese won't reveal this fact; they'll operate in secret. On the surface, they say submission guarantees survival, but that's not the reality.

If someone is foolish enough to believe such naive claims, they won't even know how they died in the end.

We're not children anymore; complete innocence is impossible, and such people are ultimately in the minority. And those kinds of people can't live long, unless they're exceptionally well-protected.

Lin Beichen asked the three people from the Cherry Blossom Country to lead the way.

This action may seem somewhat reckless, but it is actually not a problem for him.

Demanding the three Japanese nationals lead the way was secondary; the main purpose was to test their credibility and loyalty. How could Lin Beichen not be able to determine the approximate location of the stronghold?
He had felt there was something wrong with this place before.

But he couldn't pinpoint exactly where the problem was in a short time.

After meeting Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai, Lin Beichen knew where the problem lay.

The problem is self-evident.

"The approximate location is correct. It seems these people are fairly honest. Hmm, they can be trusted."

Lin Beichen said in a low voice to Zhang San beside him.

Zhang San is the most skilled, and the only other person with the best skills is Lin Beichen.

Yu Tian was slightly weaker than the other two, so he was responsible for assisting them.

"Everyone prepare for battle. There are bound to be some formidable figures within a stronghold like this," Zhang San concluded. In fact, he wasn't the only one with this thought; Yu Tian and Lin Beichen shared similar opinions. How could such an important stronghold not harbor powerful individuals? However, the truth was that the three of them were overthinking things.

According to the Japanese way of thinking, such a secluded place doesn't need any so-called experts.

Such an approach is tantamount to gilding the lily and is unnecessary.

What good are experts? If they are discovered, no matter how many experts there are, they will never return.

This idea may be extreme, but it is absolutely correct.

Once the Chinese discover that something is amiss with Kunlun Mountain, the consequences are predictable.

Being discovered deep within China's territory, escape was simply a pipe dream.

Meanwhile, in the cave where Lin Beichen and the others had left, Yu Feng was sitting there, bored out of his mind.

"Sigh, I never expected that you could accomplish such a feat while you were unconscious."

Yu Feng looked speechlessly at Wang Baozi, who was sleeping like a log. He had to admit that the drugs the Japanese had given him were indeed potent. He had already slapped Wang Baozi several times, but what happened? Wang Baozi didn't move an inch. If he didn't know that Wang Baozi was still alive, and if he didn't know beforehand that this was just for the sake of the performance, Yu Feng probably would have really thought that Wang Baozi was dead.

"Such a deterrent is indeed necessary. I'm sure those two people from Japan won't dare to act recklessly."

"Even if they dare to act recklessly, it won't end well."

"Brother Lin Beichen's mysterious and unpredictable nature is beyond your imagination."

Yu Feng thought to himself.

The wind and snow outside grew even stronger.

The howling cold wind kept pouring into the cave entrance.

Of course, it's still quite comfortable inside the cave compared to outside.

At this moment, Wang Baozi was wrapped in several large cotton quilts, which had been prepared in advance.

Visibly, Wang Baozi's face changed from red to green and then to purple.

Upon seeing this, Yu Feng's expression changed slightly.

If things continued this way, Wang Baozi was likely to fall seriously ill. For his companion's safety, Yu Feng immediately blocked the cave entrance with ice and snow. He wasn't in a hurry to go out either.

It is foreseeable that the hole blocked by ice and snow will solidify completely before long.

Of course, there's no need to worry about oxygen deficiency. (End of Chapter)
