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

"I don't want to die! I really don't want to die here!"

"God have mercy and give me a chance to repent! As long as I can leave alive, I swear to start anew and never do evil again!"

Only a small number of the twenty-odd people were injured.

Only a few people were unlucky.

But it is this fear of the unknown that is most devastating to people's hearts.

Most of the uninjured members were also on the verge of collapse.

"That's enough, it's not appropriate to stay any longer."

Zhang San clearly heard the mournful howls coming from inside the feng shui formation.

He had just thrown several grenades he was carrying into the formation. He originally intended to retreat immediately, but unexpectedly, these people had triggered the illusionary formation. Lin Beichen had already explained the mystery of this formation to Zhang San.

This formation was originally intended as an emergency measure to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

If surrounded, activate the maze formation.

Those familiar with the characteristics of the formation, such as Lin Beichen, were only slightly affected.

Even if the view is obstructed,

In a situation where someone is intentionally calculating but not intentionally,

With one side gaining at the expense of the other, the advantage naturally falls into their hands.

Unexpectedly, these people accidentally activated the maze formation.

Please note that this array must be activated from within the array itself.

Zhang San is equipped with the latest "Peacekeeper" individual nuclear weapon. If he were to use this new equipment now, he could at least eliminate 80-90% of the enemy forces, if not annihilate them completely.

The reason why "peacemaker" was not used is
They felt these small fry weren't worthy of using nuclear weapons.

Their lives and deaths are insignificant.
Exposing nuclear weapons capabilities in this way would be a net loss.

"Looks like we need to stock up on some standard equipment. In this situation, if we had a gun, hehe..." Zhang San's lips curled into a cold smile, "a bunch of sitting ducks..."

However, he did not linger for long.

Since the decision to evacuate has been made, there is no need to waste any more time.

After throwing two grenades, he quickly fled into the distance.

It must be said that Zhang San was quite prescient.

Not long after he left, a large number of people surged into the valley.

Upon receiving the news, numerous members of the Blood Moon organization immediately launched a purge.

But when they arrived at the scene, the enemy had already vanished.

The speed of their maneuver was incredibly swift, indicating that the enemy's numbers were limited. A larger force couldn't have moved so silently. Then they witnessed a bizarre sight—a group of people spinning in circles, screams echoing throughout the room. Upon closer inspection, many of these Blood Moon members, like headless flies, had severed limbs, yet remained disoriented, seemingly possessed.

"Damn it! Have we been ambushed by a sorcerer?"

"Impossible! How dare a sorcerer provoke our Blood Moon Organization?"

"Unless they're tired of living!"

Various speculations have emerged.

Some suspect it's the work of black magic.

Some people refute this view.

The sorcerers had no connection with them.

It's impossible for the two sides to become sworn enemies.

Therefore, it could not have been done by a sorcerer.

Based on the leader's previous analysis of the situation,
The current situation is very likely the work of the Chinese side.

"Isn't China supposed to be a peace-loving nation? They pride themselves on being righteous, so why are they resorting to such underhanded tactics?" A chill ran through the crowd on this dark and windy night. Even on their own turf, they remained uneasy.

The unknown is always the most frightening.

They had no idea what they were facing.

Actually, it wasn't that scary; it was just a maze formation. These Blood Moon members just happened to be unlucky enough to trigger it. Otherwise, Zhang San might not have given them such a crushing blow.

"Is this the time for gossip?! The brothers are bleeding, hurry and save them!" Seeing that everyone was talking at once but no one was going to help, someone finally couldn't help but shout.

"Easy for you to say! You're shouting so loudly, why don't you go first?"

"Exactly! Let's be frank, who would dare to go and die in this situation? If you dare to go, don't just keep talking, let's not make a fool of each other."

They're evenly matched, each to one side.

Once the matter was made clear, everyone reached a tacit understanding.

No one suggested conducting a preliminary investigation; they only wanted to stall for time.

We'll wait for our superiors to arrive before making a decision. As long as everyone acts in unison, the responsibility won't fall on any individual. The saying "Unity is strength" is perfectly exemplified at this moment. As for searching for the enemy? Who has the mind for that right now?

A large-scale operation would inevitably alert the enemy.

Breaking the operation down into smaller, scattered searches would be too dangerous.

Who knows if they might be alone? The fact that even a group of people couldn't capture their opponent speaks volumes about their strength. At this point, splitting up to search would be tantamount to walking into a trap. Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded—

The screams and wails ahead were incessant.
The agonizing screams were like those of someone who had lost their parents.

Some Blood Moon members' injuries were not initially fatal, and the damage Zhang San inflicted was limited. Unfortunately, in the chaos, they didn't receive timely medical attention, and the man, feeling he was about to die, became extremely emotional…

They began to kill each other.

As the saying goes: "Either perish in silence or erupt in silence."

Some gave up in despair, while others went completely insane.

Gunshots rang out one after another as the dying man made a final struggle.

This action, however, brought great suffering to his companions. The maze was not large to begin with, and firing in such a confined space greatly increased the risk of friendly fire. His companions' cries of pain were like the howls of wounded wild animals.

But these curses only fueled the madman's anger.

The more piercing the screams, the more fiercely they fired.

"Which bastard fired that shot? Is he trying to drag everyone down with him?!"

"You bastard! You can't even survive yourself, so you try to harm others?"

"What do I care if you get hurt! You want to drag me down with you? Fine! Let's die together!!" The infighting completely erupted. All the grudges that had been building up over time were ignited at this moment, and all the past frictions and conflicts surfaced.

"Die! Die, all of you! If I can't live, neither can you!"

"It was worth it! I've hit the jackpot! Hahahaha!"

The mournful cries of his companions echoed in his ears.

This did not bring him to his senses.
Instead, it fueled an even deeper madness.

Zhang San had no idea that the two grenades he casually tossed had nearly wiped out his entire squad. If he knew, he would probably be both amused and exasperated, but that was understandable.

These people are not regular soldiers.

They were nothing more than a gang of rabble.

What kind of moral character can we expect from them? If they were truly morally upright, they wouldn't be bullying men and women, committing arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds. They never considered the suffering of their victims when they committed these evils, only truly experiencing the taste of pain when disaster struck them themselves.

A philosopher once said:
Those who have never experienced suffering will never understand the preciousness of peace.

Those who have never experienced pain can never truly understand the suffering of others.

To achieve world peace, all of humanity must first experience pain.

Only when all of humanity deeply understands the unforgettable pain brought about by war can we truly understand it.

Only then will humanity truly appreciate the hard-won peace.

Of course, this philosopher's words were ultimately too idealistic.

Not everyone, after experiencing pain themselves, feels empathy when they see others suffering, thinking, "I've been in the rain, so I want to hold an umbrella for them." Not everyone can do that.

……

Lu Xiu evacuated according to the pre-planned route.

He was unaware that his men outside were in complete chaos.

The reason why the group erupted into fierce conflict was largely because they had lost their leader.

If Lu Xiu had been there, they would have been more restrained.

Gan Xiaozhi followed Lu Xiu back to the underground kingdom.

"Boss, let's go outside and check the situation," Gan Xiaozhi immediately suggested to his boss.

He didn't want to give his boss the impression that he was a coward. He was by no means a coward.

"That's right, let's go check it out."

"Furthermore... a thorough internal investigation is necessary; they definitely have accomplices lurking in the shadows."

"You are responsible for my safety from now on; you don't need to concern yourself with anything else."

Lu Xiu had high hopes for Gan Xiaozhi.

Hearing his boss's words, Gan Xiaozhi was secretly delighted.

Once you gain the boss's approval, life will be much easier from now on.

Putting everything else aside, this incident will definitely widen the gap between him and Mei Zhongyi.

But he didn't know.

Mei Zhongyi had already died by this time.

"These faces seem unfamiliar; are they new guests?"

Lu Xiu looked completely bewildered.

Looking at the three figures with unique auras ahead, he felt a chill for no reason.

For some reason, he always felt that these three people were unusual.

"Why overthink it? Everyone who comes here to spend money is someone important and influential."

In this territory, they could indeed rule as kings.

They know almost all the prominent local figures.

But the key is that there are many other powerful figures in the small southern country.

It's not just local gang members who come here to spend money.

Since they all have Asian faces, they don't look significantly different.

Lin Beichen keenly noticed Lu Xiu's gaze and immediately recognized that Lu Xiu was no ordinary person. If he wasn't mistaken, this man should be the boss Mei Zhongyi had mentioned. On someone else's turf, Lin Beichen didn't want to be too conspicuous.

It is not advisable to have a conflict with the other party at this time and place.

There is nothing wrong with temporarily avoiding it.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss now; he'll have his chance to deal with him later.

"That was close, we almost got exposed."

"That guy's gaze towards us was a bit off. I even suspect he's figured out who we are, but he's deliberately keeping quiet for fear of being silenced," Yu Feng said, his imagination running wild. Of course, his speculation wasn't entirely unfounded.

Lu Xiu did have some suspicions about them.

I'm just not entirely sure.

He didn't want to make enemies for no reason.

To be on the safe side, it's better to avoid trouble.

At this moment, Lu Xiu was extremely worried about the changes happening outside.

Under these circumstances, he naturally did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, his primary concern right now is his own safety, and he doesn't care much about the Blood Moon Organization.

"Shut your mouth, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak."

"Honestly, you can't say anything nice, you just say these unlucky things."

……

Lu Xiu was stunned by the mess before him.

He never expected that in just a short while, his men would be almost entirely wiped out.

Preliminary assessment suggests that these people met such an end because they killed each other.

Lu Xiu grabbed one of his still-breathing subordinates and questioned him sternly:

"What exactly happened just now? Why were you killing each other?"

He was quite nervous.

I'm afraid of hearing some horrifying truth from the other person.

Lu Xiu was afraid of the enemy's bizarre methods.

Making an enemy like this will never end well.

Even if one has a noble status, there may not be anyone who can protect them completely.

Magic must be used to fight magic.

Dealing with this kind of enemy requires the help of professionals.

He had made up his mind to go and find a sorcerer tonight.

We need to hire the most powerful sorcerer in the country to deal with the enemy.

He was quite confident that the other party would not refuse as long as the reward was generous enough.

"Boss, here's what happened..."

His subordinates nervously recounted the events in general terms.

After hearing the story, Lu Xiu's face turned ashen.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

They weren't killed by the enemy; instead, they were killed by infighting among their own people.

This is utterly absurd.

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash, more trouble than they're worth."

"You've really made me proud! Killing each other like this, how can you still have the face to live?"

Before he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate to fire a shot at the subordinate who had just reported the situation. Since most of them were already dead, and the rest were barely alive, what need was there to spare their lives?

"Boss, spare us! We really didn't do anything!"

"We did nothing; they attacked us first."

"Yes, yes, we're innocent. Boss, please take us to the hospital. We have money to pay the medical bills; you don't need to pay for them." Their words were filled with panic. The death of a comrade meant nothing to them; they wouldn't grieve for the other's death.

The key question is how the other person died.

Now that the other person is dead, can I still live?
It's really hard to say given the current situation.

Perhaps I will follow in that brother's footsteps and meet the King of Hell.

The proverb "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; if the rabbit dies, the fox will grieve" perfectly illustrates this point. That's why they were begging for mercy. Faced with his subordinates' pleas, Lu Xiu's face darkened, and he thought unhappily:

"Do you really see me as someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people?"

"If it weren't for you bunch of good-for-nothings..." He really wanted to scold these scumbags.

In fact, this matter is inextricably linked to Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu had a solution: simply explain the situation to his other men. Unfortunately, Lu Xiu was only focused on escaping and completely ignored those around him. The two grenades had terrified him.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being injured by the grenade.

If we don't escape in time, we're really doomed.

"Heh, a bunch of trash. Our boss went to great lengths to save you, but instead you're killing each other. The enemy only numbers five or six, less than half our numbers, and you're scared out of your wits by such a small trick."

"It's bad enough that they're throwing their own troops into disarray, but they're even killing each other."

Before Lu Xiu could speak, Gan Xiaozhi spoke with righteous indignation.

"What right do you piece of trash have to follow the boss? Since you're all crippled like this, I'll send you on your way. Remember to be smarter in your next life."

"Those who betray their comrades do not deserve to live in this world."

In front of everyone, Gan Xiaozhi said some high-sounding words.

His tone made it seem as if he himself was particularly loyal and righteous.

It must be said that he has truly mastered the art of blatantly lying.

Everyone inwardly scoffed at his words, but outwardly they still echoed his sentiments.

Putting everything else aside, Gan Xiaozhi in front of him is clearly a favorite of the boss.

Offending him is not a wise move; befriending him is the sensible choice.

"Gan Xiaozhi, you bastard, you deserve to die a horrible death! You actually wanted to kill us all? Even the boss didn't say he wanted to kill us! You beast, I used to consider you a brother, it seems I was blind! You're a complete ingrate!"

"Please, please don't kill me! I have money for treatment, just take me to the hospital. For the sake of our years of brotherhood..." (End of Chapter)
