Lin Beichen was exhausted from resisting the impact of the explosion, nearly to the point of collapse. The brief rest he had just taken had restored a considerable amount of his strength.
At least he could stand up now.
Lin Beichen got up and said to the five agents behind him, "We need to get out of here quickly. Come on, I’ll take you to the rendezvous point. We’re going home."
The five agents shuddered, almost bursting into tears. In a foreign land, having just survived life and death, these two words moved them deeply.
In the northwest direction of Snake Eye Province, one of its four major powers, Mirasabang, was situated here.
Mirasabang, Yacai’s office.
Yacai, the leader, sat at his desk, his brow tightly furrowed.
At this moment, a man hurriedly walked in. Before he could speak, Yacai asked, "Did you find out what happened?"
The man nodded and reported, "It was the base in the forest to the west that exploded."
The explosion at the base had shaken up the entire Snake Eye Province.
Yacai had immediately sent people to find out what was going on.
The fireball from the explosion was so abrupt and eye-catching in the pitch-black night that many people saw it right as it happened.
There were many witnesses.
With just a little investigation, it was easy to find out what happened.
"The base in the western forest?"
Yacai had a strong impression of this base because its ability to establish itself in Snake Eye Province wasn’t due to a lack of notice by the province’s powers, but rather because it paid large amounts of protection money to those powers every year.
Getting money without using force.
Of course, the powers in Snake Eye Province were willing to accept this, so they never bothered the base and didn’t care what it actually did.
As long as the money was given.
"How could it explode?"
Yacai wondered if some power had targeted the base, but then thought it unlikely. Since his faction and the other three major powers had all accepted protection fees, they had openly shielded the base, making it unlikely any power would dare to touch it. And neither he nor the other three powers would harm this cash cow.
"Is there an internal problem?"
He doubted this possibility too.
After thinking it over repeatedly, Yacai couldn’t figure out a reason. He gestured for the man to come closer and commanded, "Take a team over to the base and find out what happened, investigate why it exploded."
Not only did Yacai send a team to the base, but almost simultaneously, the other three major powers also sent personnel to the site.
In an instant, forces converged from all directions!
Near the western forest of Snake Eye Province.
A dozen figures stood among the trees.
In the moonlight, they were all dressed in combat gear, fully armed, their gazes fixed on one direction.
These dozen individuals were part of a special tactical team from Atlantis, sent to help an outside organization with relocation. Moments ago, as they were rushing to the base, the massive explosion made them look up to see the fireball and a small mushroom cloud blocking the moonlight.
One of them muttered, "That seems to be the location of the organization’s base."
The entire tactical team felt a sense of crisis, but it was just a guess. They didn’t know the actual situation.
Only by reaching the base would the answers be clear.
The team leader glared at the member who had just spoken, "Shut up!"
Then, he abruptly waved his hand and ordered, "Move faster, full speed ahead!"
