Upon hearing this, those present quickly called to their companions. The group rushed to the location where Lin Beichen had just been.

However, the situation on site was far from optimistic.

Upon seeing the state of the people who had left earlier, the man stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

"What exactly is going on?"

"We think we just saw a figure here."

At this point, a mercenary wearing a hat frowned and squatted down next to the corpses, examining them carefully.

“They told me before that they heard something strange happening here, so they called us over.”

"Looking back now, I guess this was the danger they were talking about back then."

At this point, he silently frowned.

“Although I’m not entirely sure how they died, I estimate the killer arrived not long ago and probably hasn’t gone far. You guys should search the area quickly.”

"If possible, find his trail as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

At this point, his gaze became incredibly resolute.

"The sooner we find him, the better the situation will be for us. We must not overlook any clues."

"They're finally gone."

Watching the crowd gradually disappear into the distance beneath the tree, Lin Beichen finally breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, these guys were much more troublesome than he had anticipated, but they weren't exactly difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen slowly slid down from the tree.

Once discovered on this island, it's practically certain death. In any case, we'll have to proceed with extreme caution from now on.

Otherwise, if it gets exposed, things will only get more and more complicated.

The more he thought about it, the more determined he became.

Lin Beichen stood aside, raised his binoculars and looked into the inner part of the island—as expected, just as he had predicted, there was a very large plantation inside the island.

The targets he wanted to destroy were located within that plantation.

"Great."

Lin Beichen looked at the plantation not far away and felt a surge of joy.

That should easily solve the problem over there.

The more Lin Beichen thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.

Finally, we've managed to get all those troublesome things done here.

Under the cover of the trees, Lin Beichen moved silently toward a nearby spot.

Before long, Lin Beichen arrived at the location of the plantation.

And as soon as they arrived there,
Lin Beichen smelled a nauseating odor.

Just as he expected, Lin Beichen immediately tensed up upon seeing the scene there.

The guard density here is higher than expected, and there are more problems as well.

Many people were patrolling the area.

Faced with so many people, Lin Beichen naturally couldn't avoid them as easily as before.

If we want to get through safely now, we'll probably have to find another way.

Lin Beichen carefully observed the group's work and movement routes, and finally found an excellent opportunity. Although these people often worked here, their paces were not synchronized.

Moreover, some people would suddenly slip away to the other end of the line to slack off while they were working.

This was the best opportunity for Lin Beichen to infiltrate them.

Lin Beichen, seizing the opportunity, locked onto his target almost instantly, and his expression became focused.

"We've finally got this opportunity."

Lin Beichen was secretly delighted. He slowly leaned in from the side, stole a set of clothes from one of the farmers, and disguised himself as one of them, sneaking in quietly.

"Hey, who are you?"

As soon as they saw Lin Beichen, someone couldn't help but call out to him.

"You look unfamiliar to me. I don't think I've ever seen you here before."

At this point, the man almost instinctively frowned.

"Is it just my imagination? Or are you not from here?"

"You must be mistaken."

As Lin Beichen spoke, he casually wiped mud off his face, a gesture that finally dispelled the other party's suspicions.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my job well."

"It seems you really are new here."

The man dressed as a farmer squinted his eyes.

"Work hard here, and don't forget to water those things. Those precious plants are very delicate; if you don't water them for a day, they'll most likely wilt."

"Work hard here, and our boss won't treat you unfairly in the future. Did you all understand?"

"Hey, don't worry! I heard you very clearly, there won't be any problems at all, you can trust me!"

At this point, Lin Beichen smiled with a hint of pride. His expression put the two people present at ease.

"Alright, you're new here, so we old folks should take care of you."

As he spoke, he patted Lin Beichen on the shoulder earnestly and smiled as he gave him these words of advice:

“When you get here, remember a few rules: First, don’t meddle in the boss’s business; second, if a black truck frequently passes by here, just pretend you don’t see it and let it go wherever it wants. Got it?”

"But why is that?"

Lin Beichen feigned curiosity and looked at the person beside him, asking a question.

"Was there something strange in that black truck? Or...?"

Before he could finish his question, the person who had just given him the instructions slapped him hard on the head.

"Have you forgotten everything I just taught you?"

"Oh yes, yes, I'm so sorry."

Lin Beichen touched his head in distress.

However, after hearing what they said, he roughly understood—there was something shady going on among these people, otherwise they wouldn't be behaving so abnormally.

The good news is, he has plenty of ways to deal with these shady characters. As for that car they mentioned, he'll keep it as a priority target from now on.

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen smiled with satisfaction.

"Remember this: working hard every day isn't enough."

The man patted his head hard and continued enthusiastically:
“You must remember this well: every time that black truck comes to deliver goods, you must be here to keep a close watch on it and there must be no mistakes.”

"If I find you hiding somewhere slacking off, I guarantee you'll be in big trouble."

"No, no."

Lin Beichen quickly patted his chest and assured him.

"Sir, you are being too polite. I've always been a timid person, how could I dare to slack off?"

"It's good that you didn't dare to cause trouble. We happen to have a vacancy over there, so you can go and work there later. Do a good job and don't let everyone down."

As he spoke, he pointed to a corner at the edge of the farmland.

"The scarecrow over there is almost broken, so take some tools and fix it while you're at it. Otherwise, if it breaks again, birds will fly in and steal our food, causing a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, he spat at a sparrow flying overhead.

"These annoying things are always bothering me here. I don't know when I'll be able to stop being angry at them."

"If you don't like it, I can find a way to shoot all these birds down."

Lin Beichen's expression appeared very sincere.

"I'm quite good with guns, maybe I can help you with this."

"Oh? You can use a gun?"

Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, the person next to him was immediately overjoyed.

"Why didn't you tell me you could use a gun sooner? We're in dire need of people who know how to use guns!"

He became excited as he spoke.

"Come with me quickly, we can't let someone else get this good opportunity first."

"Ok."

Lin Beichen feigned an innocent and naive demeanor, following behind him, but inwardly he was overjoyed. This man seemed completely oblivious to his intentions, yet he dared to let him follow him like this. Just thinking about it made him chuckle.

But this is good too, it saves him from worrying about all those miscellaneous things, and makes it easier for him to act.

"The place where we keep our guns is a bit far from here. If you want to go there, you'll probably have to take a longer route."

At this point, the person next to him patiently gave him instructions.

"I don't know if you'll still have that patience when you get there."

"I still have patience."

Lin Beichen nodded affirmatively from the side, then asked very seriously:
"But I'm quite curious, what's so special about the birds here? Why do we have to shoot them?"

"It's nothing, it's just a bit troublesome, and it's hard to get rid of them."

As he spoke, he raised his arm and silently frowned.

"But it's not a big problem, we can just be more careful in the future."

"I understand what you mean."

Lin Beichen nodded casually.

"In that case, let's keep moving forward."

He said this with a very serious smile.

"But before that, I have another question for you."

At this point, he looked somewhat puzzled.

"Actually, I'm really curious about what happened in that black car. Can't you really tell me anything about what happened inside?"

"Oh dear, didn't I already tell you?"

The man immediately became impatient.

"If I could tell you, I would have done so long ago. Why would I wait for you to ask?"

"The danger of that matter is that if you bring it up, you could get into big trouble."

"Is it really that serious?"

Lin Beichen pretended to be incredulous as he looked at the person next to him.

"I don't think it's as exaggerated as you say."

"What do you know, you newbie?"

At this point, he spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"If it weren't serious, would I be leading you around here like this?"

He paused seriously for a moment after saying this.

"But don't worry too much, I'll protect you. With me here, you won't have any major problems."

As he spoke, he solemnly patted Lin Beichen on the shoulder.

"But you need to watch your words too. Just now, when two people walked by, they clearly heard us talking about that car. Try not to mention it next time, and if you can avoid it, then don't."

"have you understood?"

"I understand."

Lin Beichen nodded casually to the side.

No wonder this person's words were a bit strange just now; now I understand why.

It seems the regulations here are much stricter than he imagined. In that case, he'll have to pay more attention to this aspect.

"By the way, there's another question I wanted to ask you. I remember you were one of their people before you came here, right?"

At this point, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Beichen beside him.

"What, their people? You must have made a mistake."

Lin Beichen smiled gently.

"Don't play dumb, I know you're from the third group."

At this point, the man almost immediately changed his tone, and said to him with a serious expression:
"Before you arrived, your team leader sent me a message asking me to take good care of you."

"I thought you were a giant baby who couldn't take care of himself, but now you seem quite decent."

"Kid, remember, this place is all about the survival of the fittest. I can protect you for a while, but not forever. You have to be careful in everything you do, understand?"

"I understand."

Lin Beichen nodded casually to the side, but his mind was already racing with other thoughts. Judging from what he said, the current situation was probably not optimistic.

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen fell into thought again.

"Here we are."

Just as Lin Beichen was deep in thought, the man suddenly spoke to him seriously.

"The guy working here has a terrible temper and is really hard to deal with. Be careful later, and don't let him find anything against you. Understand?"

"Listen clearly."

Lin Beichen nodded casually to the side. Then, the man dressed as a farmer took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his hand.

"Then come with me."

Having said that, he grabbed Lin Beichen's hand and led him to the side.

"Hey, this is a weapons storage area. No unauthorized personnel allowed."

As soon as the two approached the area, the guards immediately became alert.

He stared at the two people approaching, unsure of their intentions, and became tense.

"Don't be nervous, buddy."

The man dressed as a farmer next to him skillfully took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

"We're just here to ask about something, don't worry about anything else."

"You can't say that."

Although the other party explained their purpose, the guard was still somewhat hesitant, but when he saw the cigarette offered, his wariness vanished in an instant.

"Hey bro, what brand of cigarettes do you have?"

The guard took the cigarette and deftly lit it with a lighter.

In an instant, choking smoke filled the air between them.

"You know, it's the Gold Brand. In this godforsaken place, this is the only cigarette you can still smoke."

He shook his head and frowned.

"After all, the Gold Medal brand is quite well-known here, and I don't have any other options besides it."

"Anyway, we're here to collect some guns."

At this point, his expression turned serious as he looked at the man in front of him.

"Good brother, you should have what we need here, right?"

"Yes, of course."

"But to be honest, gun control is tight right now, so if you really need one..."

At this point, his gaze became very serious.

"Of course I can consider sending you some, but you know, we have to follow the rules."

"Alright, alright, do you think I don't understand what you're thinking?"

As he spoke, the man pulled out some money and handed it over. The other person beamed with joy upon receiving the money.

"Hey, buddy, you're so savvy, I have no reason to stop you."

He even stepped aside to make way for him.

Lin Beichen, standing to the side, looked puzzled and asked, with a hint of confusion:

"I said, why should we give him money?"

Lin Beichen frowned.

“Aren’t we much higher-ranking than that administrator? Giving him money would be going against the grain, wouldn’t it? Besides, what that administrator was doing was just part of his job.”

"You can tell from this that you haven't been out in the world much."

The person who had just spoken almost immediately rolled their eyes at him.

"You must understand here that relationships are maintained entirely by mutual respect. Without respect, even if you want to take a small step forward, a bunch of people will block your way." (End of Chapter)
