He had reason to suspect that the young man in his early twenties before him might be the son of a high-ranking government official!
And this official held a position high enough that they only knew the mission’s objective but not who had issued the task to Ming’s team.
Lin Beichen glanced around and then said, "Let’s evacuate first. I have a feeling that other forces are on their way here!"
In fact, he didn’t want to reveal too much about Song Xiangdong. The National Security Bureau was a high-level government agency within the country, and his relationship with Song Xiangdong was under SSS-level confidentiality measures.
Naturally, he couldn’t explain it directly!
At the same time, his body’s vigilance told him that perhaps other forces were indeed approaching from the foot of the mountain!
"Never mind, forget I asked."
"Dispose of all the bodies, leave no trace at the scene!"
Xin Yu saw that Lin Beichen didn’t intend to say more, so he didn’t press further. He knew some things were beyond his clearance level and was purely driven by curiosity.
He instructed his teammates to start cleaning up the scene.
At the same time, Xin Yu was operating the small screen on his left-hand wristband, which was an auxiliary communication device with teammates and other departments.
For instance, the Beidou global positioning system, altitude, humidity, and other related information could all be measured by this wristband.
Now, he needed to report his current position and altitude to the helicopter that had been lurking behind the mountain!
This had been pre-arranged. Before their ascent, an unregistered black-ops helicopter had already landed on a flat area behind Jingli Mountain.
Most officials were focused on the flow of lava and the degree of fire control, completely unaware of the appearance of a black-ops helicopter at this moment.
"This location won’t work!"
"The surrounding trees are obstructing; we need to move further up the mountain to find a suitable landing spot!"
Xin Yu made the decision while speaking, then took a small drone from his backpack.
With a swooshing sound, the drone flew out of Xin Yu’s hand into the sky, with its footage simultaneously transmitted to the screen on his wrist.
Moreover, the teammates on the helicopter could also see the drone footage in real-time through their wristbands.
As the drone soared into the sky, the surrounding environment was revealed in one panoramic view.
Finally, after meticulous searching, Xin Yu mapped out a suitable evacuation route, transmitted it to everyone’s wristbands, and then retrieved the drone.
"Wait!"
"What is that!"
Xin Yu’s pupils suddenly constricted. Just as he was about to retrieve the drone for descent, he accidentally spotted a group of people in the dense forest heading their way!
There were about twenty to thirty people in the group, dressed in orange combat uniforms. Xin Yu, who had been undercover in Divine Light Country for many years, immediately recognized that they were the local emergency response team!
"The local military of Divine Light Country has arrived!"
"Stop cleaning up, evacuate, evacuate!"
Xin Yu immediately signaled his teammates to follow the pre-determined route for evacuation.
At that moment, Lin Beichen was tightly protected in the center by the group, as if he were a national leader at a significant event, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Lin Beichen wanted to say that this level of protection wasn’t necessary. With his current abilities, an average person couldn’t deal with him, but protecting him seemed to be the team’s primary goal, so he complied.
The team quickly reached the evacuation point. After retrieving the drone, Xin Yu looked curiously at the bodies on the ground. The way they had died was indeed unheard of.
He originally wanted to explore further and confirm if it was the young man who had caused this.
Even if he couldn’t figure it out, they had to dispose of the bodies and remove all traces to avoid any investigation.
But with the local military from Divine Light Country closing in, Xin Yu had no choice but to set the bodies on fire as the teammates neared the designated evacuation point, then quickly headed to the evacuation site himself.
On a flat area midway up the mountain, Team 91 had already gathered to escort Lin Beichen.
The helicopter, which had been waiting behind the mountain, arrived on time, ascending from below to hover above the group.
"Get the target on board first!"
Xin Yu waved, signaling Lin Beichen to board the helicopter first.
The team maintained vigilance, aiming their guns around until Lin Beichen was safely on board. Only then did they board in sequence.
Once the helicopter took off, it headed straight for the eastern coast. The fuel tank had been topped off before takeoff, and with Divine Light Country being coastal, it wouldn’t take long to reach the open sea.
As their helicopter ascended for evacuation, Gang Shiyilang and Gang Taitanang arrived at the scene where Helena and the others had been.
"Quick, quick, quick, surround the area!" Gang Shiyilang led his team charging up from the foot of the mountain.
They had been advancing cautiously, trying to locate the right direction.
Just moments ago, a fire had broken out at this spot, prompting them to rush over!
"Put out the fire!"
"Extinguish it first!"
"If the fire spreads, the entire forest is doomed!"
Gang Taitanang watched the fierce flames and the knee-high grass surrounding them. Just a slight wind could set the entire grassland ablaze!
As the head of the Volcano Research Institute, he certainly didn’t want to see such a sight!
Gang Shiyilang, as the emergency response team leader, first thought of searching for that figure!
