However, inquiring about Long Chuzhi's whereabouts had already aroused Zaka's suspicion, and Lin Beichen could no longer ask directly.
To continue investigating the clues, they must adopt other strategies.
"What should we do next?" Xia Luyao asked.
Lin Beichen mysteriously smiled, "Though they're not saying anything, we can make them 'speak for themselves'."
Flying Eagle and the others looked puzzled. Lin Beichen then took out a special piece of Talisman Paper, which was adorned with black talismans and insect patterns.
"What kind of talisman is this?" Xia Luyao asked curiously.
"You'll find out soon." Lin Beichen replied mysteriously.
He then performed a series of mysterious operations, and the Talisman Paper suddenly glowed softly and emitted sounds that did not belong to them.
"Boss, we are still uncertain whether they've succeeded; should we really comply with William's request?"
A strange voice echoed through the Talisman Paper in the room.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone quickly turned to look at Lin Beichen.
Although they didn't recognize the voice, the mention of William clearly referred to Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen smiled slightly and signaled with his eyes for them to keep listening.
"Don't rush; there's still three days. William is ambitious, and I won't easily agree to him. If Vine finds that batch of Yellow Cake within three days, we won't have to negotiate with William anymore."
Xia Luyao heard this and turned to look at Lin Beichen, mouthing silently: "It's Zaka!"
Seeing Xia Luyao's clueless mouthing, Lin Beichen couldn't help but laugh.
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, "Silly girl, they can't hear us talking."
Xia Luyao immediately turned her head away in embarrassment, with the tips of her ears slightly reddening.
Lin Beichen chuckled and shook his head; his apprentice was becoming increasingly muddled.
Those around them watched this scene and felt secretly astonished.
They clearly witnessed Lin Beichen pinching their captain's cheek, and the captain had no reaction!
This was unprecedented in their team.
Next, they heard that Zaka seemed to have obtained information on William hiding the Yellow Cake and had sent someone to seize it.
"It seems Zaka intends to negotiate with William but fails and directly decides to snatch it?" Flame pondered.
Lin Beichen nodded, "That's probably the case."
"What should we do?" Old Tao asked eagerly, subconsciously looking at Lin Beichen.
When faced with difficulties nowadays, they would always seek Lin Beichen's opinion first.
Lin Beichen glanced at him, "Of course, we should go to the hiding place of the Yellow Cake and intercept them!"
Old Tao was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling like Lin Beichen looked at him as if he were a fool.
Why did Lin Beichen's attitude toward the captain differ so much from his attitude toward him?
This couple was truly double standard!
The others looked at Old Tao's expression, resembling a scolded student, and couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Luyao also chuckled softly, "Alright, time is of the essence, let's move out!"
They had seen information on William's USB and knew the location of the Yellow Cake, so they quickly headed there.
At the same time, they wanted to see who exactly this Vine mentioned by Zaka was.
On the way to the hiding place, Thunder asked curiously, "How do you think Zaka knows the location of the Yellow Cake?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't understand.
And Lin Beichen opened his mouth and said, "Zaka actually doesn't know the exact location of the Yellow Cake."
"Why?" Flame asked in confusion.
Lin Beichen leaned back in his seat, arms crossed, explaining, "From his words, one can see that he's not certain Vine can get the Yellow Cake. Moreover, Vine's relationship with him seems more like equal partners, not subordinates. If Zaka really knew the whereabouts of the Yellow Cake, with their character, they would just seize it, why negotiate with William?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
They were eager to meet the Vine who could make the leader of the Zaka Organization humble.
The car sped along the rugged mountain road, kicking up clouds of dust.
Flying Eagle suddenly noticed a vehicle on the side heading in the same direction as them.
Surprisingly, the people in that vehicle seemed to be Huaxia soldiers.
"Look, isn't that car ours? The people inside are wearing our combat uniforms." Flying Eagle pointed at the vehicle.
After identifying it, everyone confirmed. Xia Luyao frowned and said, "Why would our soldiers suddenly enter Ivya? This is very unusual."
Just as Flying Eagle was about to speak, a shell suddenly fell in front of them with a "boom," turning the whole hill into a swirling cloud of yellow dust.
The enormous explosion shook their vehicle.
Flying Eagle gripped the steering wheel tightly, skillfully maneuvering the vehicle to evade the surprise attack, swiftly parking alongside the cliff wall.
"What happened? Who's attacking us?"
Flame looked around in confusion, suddenly noticing a pickup truck approaching from the side.
At the same time, the Huaxia vehicle in front adopted a defensive stance. Wild Ox fixated on the approaching vehicle, "Is it them?"
Lin Beichen's eyes narrowed as he saw the skull masks on the attackers, "It seems the situation is dire."
"What should we do?" Flame asked anxiously; they only had pistols while the enemy had rocket launchers.
"Don't panic; their target shouldn't be us." Lin Beichen calmly analyzed, "If it were us, they would have launched a more intense attack already."
Old Tao was puzzled, "How do you know?"
"You can tell from their actions; their real target is probably that Huaxia military vehicle." Lin Beichen pointed ahead.
Indeed, the pickup ignored them, directly heading toward the Huaxia military vehicle, confrontation ensued. The tense atmosphere was on the verge of eruption, but Lin Beichen quietly took out an Explosive Talisman and threw it fiercely toward the pickup truck.
"Boom!" A loud explosion turned the pickup truck into fragments, with no surviving terrorists.
Lin Beichen gently curled his lips, gazing indifferently at the explosion scene, "They launched a rocket at us, I returned the favor with an Explosive Talisman, fair enough."
The Huaxia soldiers ahead were shocked by this sudden turn of events, soon discovering Lin Beichen and his team. Yang Rui, the captain of the Dragon Strike Team, approached and saluted, "Thank you for saving us; I'm Yang Rui."
Lin Beichen nodded slightly, "It was nothing."
When they found out he was from the Venomous Snake Special Team, Yang Rui's eyes showed a glimmer of surprise and respect.
After brief exchanges, Yang Rui invited them to join the evacuation mission.
However, Lin Beichen refused, "We have a more important task to carry out; we can't go with you."
They must find the Yellow Cake as quickly as possible to thwart the Zaka Organization's conspiracy.
The Dragon Strike Team was tasked with an urgent evacuation mission assigned by superiors, and the sudden involvement of the Venomous Snake Special Team could indeed disrupt their plans.
"Comrades," Zhuang Yu, a member of the Dragon Strike Team, frowned and spoke, "The evacuation mission is extremely urgent; there are dozens of compatriots waiting for our rescue in downtown Tuna City."
Lin Beichen glanced at him and replied, "Does that mean you can't complete the mission without us, the Venomous Snake Special Team?"
Zhuang Yu hesitated slightly, "Not exactly, it's just..."
"Since this is a task assigned to you by your superiors, if you feel you have difficulties, why not report it to them? We also have our own urgent task," Lin Beichen interrupted, "Our task concerns many lives as well."
Indeed, if that batch of Yellow Cake were found first by Vine mentioned by Zaka, it could trigger an even greater disaster, threatening far more lives than just dozens of expatriates.
Members of the Dragon Strike Team listened to Lin Beichen's words and fell into contemplation.
Yang Rui, the captain of the Dragon Strike Team, finally spoke, "Since each has their own mission, we won't force the matter. Time is tight; we must leave immediately."
After speaking, he led the team rapidly to the evacuation site.
Xia Luyao seeing this, also said to the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team, "We can't delay either; let's move out immediately."
