The remaining flames spread across the rubble, flickering through the thick smoke enveloping the base, like scattered stars.
"..."
Apart from the crackling of the flames, there was no other sound in the entire ruin.
It was eerily quiet!
Not just the ruins, but also the Security Bureau’s meeting room.
On the projection screen, nothing could be seen but pitch blackness.
The leaders of the Security Bureau wore grim expressions, their faces so dark, they could almost drip ink, their eyes filled with regret and reluctance.
Lin Beichen and five agents perished together with the foreign organization.
—This was the unspoken conclusion of everyone.
Having witnessed the explosion scene just moments ago, even though they had great faith in Lin Beichen’s abilities, they couldn’t believe he could still be alive.
Lin Beichen’s importance to Great Xia was self-evident; now that something had happened to him, the leaders of the Security Bureau all felt a deep sense of heaviness, sorrow, and repression.
At this moment, Song Xiangdong said in a deep voice, "I was the one who agreed to let Lin Beichen go on the rescue mission. I will take full responsibility for this matter."
"..."
The other leaders of the Security Bureau looked at Song Xiangdong, their expressions complicated.
They wanted to say something to comfort Song Xiangdong, but felt that nothing was appropriate to say at this time. They hadn’t even forgiven themselves, so how could they persuade others to forgive themselves?
Just then, an extremely surprised voice sounded, "Look quickly!!!"
The screen projection.
The thick black smoke gradually thinned over time with the flow of air.
The outlines of the large iron lumps that were in the ammunition depot became clearer, and as they did, smaller outlines between them also emerged, resembling people. There were exactly six.
"!!!"
At this moment, the leaders of the Security Bureau showed astonished expressions, their hearts betraying them with several strong beats, their breathing became difficult.
"Could it be that Lin Beichen and the others are still alive?!"
Someone voiced the thoughts of everyone.
The leaders’ first reaction upon seeing the screen was that Lin Beichen had once again worked a miracle and given them another surprise. But the explosion scenes were still fresh in their minds, and even though they considered the possibility, they dared not believe it.
"Could they really have survived that explosion?"
Though there were doubts, everyone harbored a sliver of hope in their hearts.
All eyes were glued to the screen, not daring to blink, fearing they might miss something in the briefest of moments.
Once the smoke thinned, it quickly dispersed completely.
In that brief moment.
The smoke covering the base ruins had almost completely dissipated, revealing the mysterious outlines of the six humanoid figures.
Lin Beichen and the five agents were sitting on the ground, covered in dust and dirt. Apart from some scratches on the agents, they had no other injuries.
They were all perfectly fine!
"No one’s hurt?!"
"Lin Beichen and the others are alive!"
"..."
The meeting room instantly erupted.
The situation had taken an unexpected turn!
The leaders of the Security Bureau were overjoyed.
At that moment, their feelings were mixed.
They were excited, happy, and above all, relieved!

"Lin Beichen can really work miracles!"
"He has given us another huge surprise."
"..."
The leaders of the Security Bureau didn’t understand how Lin Beichen had managed not only to save himself but also the five agents in such a huge explosion.
But that didn’t matter.
As long as he was alive, they could always ask him when he returned.
The important thing was that they were safe!
And they had also eliminated a foreign organization.
That was enough!
However, the five agents understood very well what had happened.
At that moment, the five agents were staring intently at Lin Beichen’s back, their faces showing a mix of astonishment and reverence, replaying the scenes just now in their minds.
Roaring flames surged forward, with the momentum of consuming everything.
In front of them, Lin Beichen had thrown away the gun that had triggered the explosion, and then both his hands glowed with a sudden golden light.
The dazzling golden light was completely different from the explosion’s flames, even more brilliant, the glow completely overshadowed the explosion’s flames.
The golden light in his hands quickly spread, colliding and merging to form a golden barrier.
The barrier was large enough to protect six people.
The oncoming flames directly impacted the barrier.
The barrier trembled continuously with the waves of impact but did not collapse.
The flames from the explosion surged to the edges of the barrier, forming a blank area around it.
Until...
The explosion finally ended completely.
In their minds, the five agents were filled with countless questions - What was that golden light? How did the barrier block the impact?
And many more questions. They wanted to ask but could not bring themselves to do so.
It was out of awe!
Having experienced all of this, they could no longer see Lin Beichen in the same way; at that moment, he seemed like a deity to them!
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen, who was revered like a god, had an exhausted look on his face, but his eyes sparkled brightly.
Fire Element?
While resisting the impact of the explosion’s flames, Lin Beichen had felt an intense energy he had never experienced before.
It was both scorching and bright.
Lin Beichen wanted to research it on the spot, but he knew their objective this time and knew this was no place to linger.
It wouldn’t be too late to research it when he returned home.
