Chapter 1497: Chapter 752: Terrified, Everyone Trembles_2

"Yeah, after we were taken to that small town, I felt there was no way any of us could be rescued. So many people were kidnapped—somebody was bound to die. The moment I thought it might be me, my legs went weak with fear, and I felt like the whole world was about to abandon me."

"That won’t happen. The motherland will never give up on any Huaxia citizen! Because we have a powerful motherland, and you have the motherland standing behind you. So no matter what situation you’re in, no matter what kind of hardships and dangers you face, as long as you believe in us, sooner or later we’ll rescue you and pull you out of the abyss."

Everyone was deeply moved. It was their first time leaving home and going abroad, yet they were brought back by the strength of their motherland—what a rare stroke of fortune this was! It also made more people feel a profound love for their country.

"Amazing, just awesome! As a Huaxia person, this life of mine is truly blessed beyond words!"

After a brief time catching up, everyone set out on the road again. This time, they were heading toward the border. If everything went smoothly, they’d likely be able to go home before long.

"I’m never going to these chaotic places for fun again. Going to places like this, it feels like your life has no guarantee, no safety at all."

"Sigh, honestly, how many places abroad are actually safe? A lot of places are way more chaotic than back home. Even in the United States, isn’t it gunfights on the streets every single day?"

If there really is a place in this world that makes people feel utterly at ease, it has to be Huaxia.

On this land, even if you’re heading home at midnight, you don’t have to worry about someone suddenly putting two bullets in you.

Whenever you go out, you can feel an overwhelming sense of security. Because this is a country where, even without deliberate protection, day and night are equally safe.

In contrast, abroad it’s truly hard to find a few places where people can be completely at ease.

So everyone started talking about their future plans, deciding that wherever they traveled in the future, they’d just obediently stay within the country.

It’s not like there’s nowhere fun to go at home, and it’s not like there’s no exotic flavor within the country.

Places like the Western Regions, the Southern Region—don’t they also have their own unique exotic charm? Why insist on running off to those small countries overseas just to suffer today’s kind of catastrophic disaster?

"Once I get back, I’m definitely going to write a good article and give a big thumbs-up to our motherland. It’s precisely because of the selfless help of those people that we were lucky enough to survive."

However, just as many people were talking about all this with great enthusiasm, all of a sudden, the entire convoy came to an abrupt halt.

"Everyone, stay alert!"

The mysterious unit sensed something was off on the way back, because this stretch of forest was so quiet it seemed unnaturally so.

The quieter a place is, the more danger it usually hides. So they hurriedly ordered the convoy to stop, then spread out to search, checking whether there was any danger in the surrounding area.

They hadn’t been searching for long when a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the jungle.

This sudden gunfire scared everyone so badly that they shrank into themselves.

The mysterious unit immediately organized a defensive formation and moved to guard against any suspicious spot.

However, by the time they pushed out, that Wolf Fang Mercenaries unit had already vanished without a trace.

"Someone was definitely here, but they left just now. The question is, why didn’t they intercept us? Why did they choose to withdraw so quickly the moment they came into contact with us?"

The leader of the mysterious unit checked the scene and drew this conclusion, but he didn’t know much about the Wolf Fang Mercenaries.

He only knew that experts had appeared here and intended to ambush everyone, but when they were discovered, they didn’t choose to fight it out with his side and instead withdrew at once.

Still, for the rest of the way, everyone had to proceed with extreme caution, because even the slightest rustle in the grass might mean deadly danger.

So the convoy naturally slowed down.

Once they were discovered, the Wolf Fang Mercenaries immediately chose to temporarily avoid the edge.

Not only that, they quickly moved in the direction where Lin Beichen was. Before long, they had set up another ambush in the forest, quietly waiting for their prey to walk into the trap.

Lin Beichen, on the other hand, heard the gunshots coming from the distance, even though the shots were at least ten kilometers away.

But with Lin Beichen’s keen hearing, although he couldn’t hear them very clearly, he knew it was gunfire, which meant something had definitely happened over there.

So without another word, Lin Beichen floored the accelerator and sped toward the direction of the gunshots.

The people in the car were jolted around so hard they were thrown all over the place, but none of them complained.

After all, just being able to come out alive was already the heavens showing mercy, letting them be rescued by a Huaxia person.

But at this moment Lin Beichen was burning with anxiety, because after hearing those shots, he was worried that they might have been taken by some other force.

If that were the case, things would be very bad.

After all, even though they were a convoy of thirty-odd people, every single one of them was basically defenseless.

They hadn’t received any training and couldn’t even shoot. If they ran into someone pointing a gun at their heads—anyone at all—

they’d probably be forced to stop in their tracks, not daring to move forward, because at the slightest sudden move, those criminals would absolutely kill without hesitation.

Now, based on his analysis, Lin Beichen figured it was very likely those hostages had run into another problem, and those two gunshots were eight or nine times out of ten a sign that they’d been surrounded.

"Damn it, they just got out of the tiger’s mouth and in the blink of an eye they’ve fallen into a wolf’s den. There really isn’t a single safe place around here."

Lin Beichen slammed down on the gas and raced toward the source of the gunfire. Before long, he was already not far from where the shots had come from.

But just then, a bullet suddenly whizzed toward him, flying straight for the center of his forehead.

If Lin Beichen hadn’t detected the gunshot the instant it was fired, relying on his sharp hearing and tilting his head aside, that bullet just now would probably have punched right through his brow.

"Damn, so you still had this move, huh? Trying to put me down, are you? Heh, pretty vicious—must be a strong opponent.

But that’s fine. The stronger the enemy, the more pumped I get."

In that first instant, Lin Beichen not only dodged the bullet, he also stomped on the brake.

The car screeched to a halt right there in the jungle, and he flung the door open and darted into the forest at once.

"Damn it, he slipped away. That shot just now clearly hit him right in the head, and with the distance that close, under normal circumstances he shouldn’t have had any chance to escape."

High up in a big tree, a sniper was lying in wait, with his spotter in another tree beside him.

This should have been a sure kill. The shot just now was taken from only a few dozen meters away from the target—how could he possibly get away?

But unexpectedly, not only had this man successfully dodged that shot, he’d also quickly flung open the car door and then vanished into the jungle.

The sniper and his spotter immediately scanned the surrounding forest, where thick undergrowth grew everywhere.

They tried to spot any movement in the grass, but after carefully searching a full circle, they found nothing.

"Hurry up and turn on the infrared to look for him. If we still can’t find him, he’s going to come after us."

But just as they were about to turn on the infrared device to search for Lin Beichen’s hiding place, two gunshots rang out from the jungle.

On the spot, the two of them toppled from the trees.

Lin Beichen slowly approached out of the forest and nudged the two snipers he had just shot down.

"Heh, you’ve got some skill. You almost had me walk right into your little ambush—my head was nearly blown off by you.

But too bad for you, you ran into me. Killing me isn’t that easy."

After taking care of these two, Lin Beichen once again scanned the surroundings.

He knew these two were just an appetizer. There were other people lying in ambush, and judging from their clothing, they were clearly highly professional Mercenaries.

After all, their gear was fully kitted out. No doubt about it, these guys were desperadoes who licked blood off the tip of the knife.
