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

There were only two of them, and they weren't going to stay in the cave for very long, so oxygen consumption wasn't a concern at all. With the entrance blocked, it was also difficult for the wind and snow outside to get in.

Wang Baozi, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, was also visibly recovering.

About half a day has passed.

Using the timer, Yu Feng also determined a rough, accurate time. He timed it after blocking the entrance, so there might be slight discrepancies, but the error was definitely not significant. About half an hour had passed since Lin Beichen and his group headed to the secret base; an hour was indeed not a very long time.

Even so, Yu Feng was still somewhat worried.

The cave was quiet; apart from Wang Baozi's even breathing, there was no other sound. Waiting was what he was most impatient with; he hadn't planned to stay in the first place.

According to the original plan, Yu Feng was supposed to go with Lin Beichen.

But plans can never keep up with changes. Who could have imagined that the two people from the Sakura Country would be stunned by Wang Baozi? They mistook Wang Baozi's genuine coma for an act and dared not do anything reckless.

That's why Lin Beichen decided to play along.

Of course, part of the reason was that he didn't want Yu Feng to get hurt.

This was out of his own selfishness, after all, Yu Feng had gone through so many life-and-death situations with him.

Lin Beichen had long regarded Yu Feng as his own brother. This operation might be dangerous, so in order to protect Yu Feng from injury, he specially arranged an easy job for him.

In fact, Lin Beichen was simply overthinking things.

"Are you sure there are no combat personnel at your base?"

Such an important place, how come it's not equipped with combat personnel?

Zhang San frowned, clearly doubting what he had said. His face was full of distrust, as if to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?" Faced with Zhang San's questioning, Chunri Qingkong hurriedly explained, his expression full of anxiety.

"I'm not lying to you. On this land of China, having too many combat personnel doesn't really make much sense. After all, once discovered, there's only one way out: death."

"Our principle is to avoid being discovered."

He said this calmly, without blushing or skipping a beat.

However, it was precisely these two who were discovered; otherwise, Lin Beichen and his team probably wouldn't have been able to so quickly determine that something was wrong here. These two truly betrayed their teammates, and now they've even become spies for the enemy. Who could have predicted they would do something like this?

"Actually, I've disliked those researchers for a long time. They're all so arrogant, acting like they're something special. What I hate most in my life are these insidious and vicious people who actually research chemical weapons."

"Even though we have different positions, I really couldn't stand by and watch anymore."

"That's why I cooperated so well."

Spring Blue Sky actually tried to defend himself on the spot, attempting to clear his name.

He was trying to instill in Lin Beichen and the others the idea that he was a good person.

It can only be said that this kid is too naive, actually thinking that Lin Beichen and the others are so easily fooled.

Lin Beichen simply smiled at Chunri Qingkong's explanation and did not respond.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Kasuga Aozora's foolish remarks; who would believe them? Perhaps even Kasuga Aozora himself didn't believe his own words—they were utterly unbelievable. Kasuga Aozora also realized that he had been too hasty, and his words seemed rather illogical.

He could only manage a few awkward laughs afterward.

Seeing Kasuga Aozora get the short end of the stick, Shinno Mirai couldn't help but laugh.

The more mistakes Kasuga Aozora makes, the greater his chances of survival.

This might not sound pleasant, but it's the truth. He didn't want to give up his chance to live to Kasuga Aozora. They were rivals, and he could tell that Kasuga Aozora knew this, but they were both pretending not to—it was an unspoken understanding they'd maintained for years.

"I know that biological weapons do violate human ethics."

"You just need to lead the way and tell us everything inside," Lin Beichen said earnestly. "As long as you provide the information truthfully, I won't take your lives. I can guarantee that."

He made a solemn promise.

But this promise did not guarantee that others would not kill the two.

Sha Po Lang immediately noticed the flaw in the language.

However, he didn't expose him. There was nothing to say; he was in a precarious situation himself. As for whether Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai would understand the meaning behind his words, that was up to them. At least Sha Po Lang didn't think they would be that foolish.

Previously, there might have been some uncertainty regarding the outcome of Killing Wolf.

But after seeing the reactions of these two, Sha Po Lang could conclude that they were well aware of the situation, but were just pretending not to know anything. This was indeed quite clever, and their acting skills were quite on point.

Neither of them provided false information.

Everything went very smoothly in the following operations.

There were no experts stationed at this base; apart from researchers, there was no one else there. Those menial workers like Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai were eliminated immediately.

Their reasoning was that this group had committed numerous evils and must be killed.

What is the truth? Actually, both sides know it very well.

To prevent themselves from becoming more easily replaceable, they had to eliminate their competitors. Moreover, those competitors were aware of their past shady dealings. To cover their tracks, Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai had no choice but to eliminate them prematurely.

Presumably, this kind of thing will not arouse the resentment of the Chinese people.

They'd probably be happy to watch dogs fight each other.

In fact it is.

They don't consider it shameful to compare themselves to dogs.

As long as you can live, that's all that matters. Dogs are loyal friends of humans, so it's not shameful to do this just to survive.

Of course, "dog" is not a derogatory term.

Some people are worse than dogs.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! We're like brothers, how can you kill me now... No, no! Help! You've done so many things..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stabbed to death by Shinno Mirai.

The knife pierced his heart directly, and he died instantly.

He didn't even bother to pull out the knife piercing his heart; the research base had plenty of daggers like this, and the methods for disposing of corpses were extremely convenient. After all, numerous live experiments had been conducted here before. Of course, he couldn't possibly demonstrate how to dispose of corpses to Lin Beichen and the others on the spot.

"Now that everyone has been dealt with, we should be safe."

Shinno Mirai vaguely sensed the killing intent emanating from Kasuga Aozora.

He glanced at the clear blue spring sky and said this seemingly casually, but he was actually reminding the other person.

It's important to remind both sides, like spring blue sky, that we're all in the same boat. There's absolutely no need to tear each other apart at this time; cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation.

Spring Sky nodded and then said, "Yes, I've taken care of things here too. We should be safe now. The two of us can help them, and it will even make things easier for them."

He also expressed his attitude.

The two sides did not break off relations, but they both understood what the other was thinking.

The two have now reached a mutual agreement to work together for these Chinese people.

It's true that two people together can look out for each other.

The researchers stared intently at the recently murdered corpses, their eyes filled with regret. To be unable to study such excellent test subjects was more painful than death itself. They weren't afraid of death; they only longed to study them.

These researchers have gone to a pathological degree of madness.

In their eyes, biological weapons are an art form, unrelated to their destructive power. Their thinking has reached an extreme; perhaps only with such an extreme mindset can they research such heinous weapons without hindrance. They are completely unaware that they are committing atrocities.

"Lin Beichen, do you think it's necessary for these people to stay?"

“What’s the difference between these people and demons? Keeping them alive might indeed yield some intelligence, but in my opinion, they won’t talk easily…” Zhang San’s expression was not good. Based on his years of combat experience, he analyzed that these researchers would not be easy to deal with.

This belongs to a group of people who have their own beliefs.

However, this belief is extremely fanatical and irrational.

It's difficult to get information out of people like that.

Especially when it comes to their beliefs, it's impossible for others to get any information from them unless they're willing to, which is the most troublesome thing.

"No matter how difficult it is to obtain intelligence, we have no choice but to give it a try."

"Even if we get some useless intelligence, if it can't stop Japan's biological warfare program, it will still be very dangerous for China. I can also use them as a medium to find other experts to help me deduce the location of other strongholds."

Lin Beichen's words deeply shocked Zhang San.

He couldn't believe that Lin Beichen could do something like this.

But since Lin Beichen has already said it, he is definitely not joking.

"It's not that simple. Doing this will come at a price, such as your life." Looking at Zhang San's incredulous expression, Lin Beichen smiled and said casually. His words made it sound as if his life wasn't something particularly important at all.

In fact, in his eyes, his own life was nothing.

Of course, "life" here refers to his personal life.

Compared to the millions of people in China, he didn't think his own life was particularly important. Of course, he was confident he could minimize the loss; for example, by harnessing the dragon vein's energy and with the combined efforts of many experts, he could reduce the damage to almost nothing.

If we turn the loss of life into the loss of the dragon vein's fortune, then everything will be fine.

Lin Beichen did not explain these things, which greatly shocked Zhang San.

Of course, Lin Beichen was not lying.

The life-threatening extent of this might only take a month or two, or even half a month or a few days. It would be incredibly difficult for anyone else to do this; they would likely die instantly. Ultimately, to avoid making it too sensational, we can only exaggerate the severity of the situation.

"Tie them all up. You three can do this."

Lin Beichen was too lazy to bother with these so-called researchers.

Anyway, I have three lackeys under my command, so I can just let them do it. In fact, these lackeys also really hope that they can help out, only then will they feel at ease.

After receiving the order, they all seemed very excited.

Especially Kasuga Aozora and Shinno Mirai, they never expected to have such an opportunity. Before, they were treated like grandsons in front of these researchers.

Now we can finally hold our heads high.

"Unexpectedly, this Lin Beichen doesn't intend to treat them well."

"I thought these Chinese people were going to have a proper discussion with these researchers."

"Now it seems that I was too naive. Indeed, these researchers are all stubborn, and it is almost impossible to get any useful information out of them."

As Chunri Qingkong pondered this, she approached a researcher.

The researcher, wearing a white lab coat, was the youngest in the group, probably in his early thirties. He had well-maintained skin and an attractive figure.

With a bang, Haruhi Aozora kicked out.

The sensation underfoot excited Qingri Qingkong.

"Hahaha, I never thought I'd be in this situation today, I never thought I could deal with you so recklessly. How about it, Nara Tsubaki? If you beg me for mercy, maybe I can give you a chance to live." Kasuga Aozora squatted down next to Nara Tsubaki, who had been kicked to the ground, and said in a low voice, his eyes constantly scanning her up and down.

"Hehe, kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."

Nara Kotsubaki's eyes were full of disdain.

In her eyes, the spring sky was nothing but a dog relying on its master's power.

She despises this kind of person the most and can't be bothered to even glance at him.

The woman in front of him even looked at him sideways when she spoke, which made Kasuga Aozora particularly angry.

He desperately wanted to teach this woman what regret was, but unfortunately, Kasuga Aozora knew he couldn't do that.

He has no right to do that.

He was just a lackey.

Just as Nara Kotsubaki thought, the current Kasuga Aozora is simply a dog relying on its master's power. It is only because it works for Lin Beichen that it has the opportunity to beat and scold these researchers.

Many researchers look at the spring sky with disdain.

They despise people like that who kick someone when they're down.

One moment they're on our side, the next they're turning against each other—that's utterly shameless.

They felt ashamed to work with such people.

How come I never noticed that Kasuga Aozora was this kind of person before?

But it doesn't matter; whether there's a clear blue sky or not, it's all the same. As for his current act of acting impulsively, they don't care. It's just physical pain, which they can endure.

Nara Tsubaki remained silent in the face of Kasuga Aozora's brutal beating.

Seeing this, Kasuga Aozora grew even more violent, deeply displeased with Nara Kotsubaki's behavior. He longed to see this researcher writhe in agony under his control, but unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed; Nara Kotsubaki didn't even glance at him. (End of Chapter)
