"If you have any questions, ask them now."
Lin Beichen knew that if he didn’t say this early on, the four of them would never take the initiative to speak up.
"We just want to know what to do next."
Among the four, Gale, who had a more straightforward personality, spoke up.
The reason they chose to follow Lin Beichen was to get his personal guidance. But Lin Beichen didn’t seem to have any intention of teaching, which made them a bit anxious.
Seeing the anxious looks on their faces, Lin Beichen suddenly burst into laughter. His wild laughter left them bewildered, looking at each other in confusion.
"In fact, there is very little I can teach you. What you need to do now is to truly apply what you have realized into battle."
Seeing their serious expressions, Lin Beichen finally put away his playful demeanor.
"Because when I first improved my own strength, it was through combat. So you need to first learn how to apply what you have realized into battle."
Upon hearing Lin Beichen’s explanation, the four present understood what he meant.
"So we need to spar with each other?"
Storm stepped forward, looking at Lin Beichen with a hint of anticipation.
"What’s the point of sparring among yourselves?"
A faint smile appeared on Lin Beichen’s lips.
"Aren’t we going to find those bastards from Atlantis? Let’s use them to test the waters."
Hearing Lin Beichen’s words, joy and anticipation appeared on the faces of Gale and the others. Ordinary fights with regular people could no longer satisfy their appetite.
They had long heard about the alleged gene mutants in Atlantis, and it would be great to fight them.
Seeing the eager looks on their faces, Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly. But he could understand, as these elite soldiers were truly battle-hardened.
"So in the upcoming battles, you need to seriously think about what to do and not just rely on brute force."
If someone else had said this to them, Gale and the others wouldn’t have cared. But the one who said it was Lin Beichen, someone they couldn’t dare to underestimate.
At this moment, Lin Beichen and his team were heading towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital as per the intelligence provided by Zhang Tao. According to Zhang Tao, there was a courtyard in the suburbs where the Atlantis agents were stationed.
The courtyard served as a contact point for Atlantis, camouflaged by an underground gambling den so no one suspected it was a spy base.
The choice of a gambling venue was not because gambling was legal in Dragon Country. But because even if the police found out, they would focus on the gambling activities and not delve deeper after confiscating the bets and imposing penalties.
So using a minor crime to conceal a bigger agenda was the plan of the Atlantis agents, and it was generally effective.
"According to our intel, there are four mutants inside and many thugs outside. Once we get within 300 meters of the target location, the outer guards will detect us."
On the way to their destination, Lin Beichen made a series of arrangements. Gale and the others had initially thought Lin Beichen was only highly skilled in cultivation.
But they didn’t expect him to have unique insights in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. Among the four, two were scouts, yet they found no flaws in Lin Beichen’s plan.
Because of this, Lin Beichen’s status in their hearts rose even further.
Meanwhile, Song Xiangdong had returned to his office. He directly dialed Scar’s number to inquire about the situation on that side.
"They’ve been watching me continuously. Although they haven’t taken any substantive action, they’ve tightened their surveillance on us a lot."
Scar didn’t know why Atlantis had made this arrangement but was certain something had changed.
Song Xiangdong then explained the domestic situation to Scar. After listening, Scar’s face showed anger.
"So, do you need me to take action?"
Scar’s tone was still low, but those who knew him well understood that the calmer he seemed, the deeper his anger was.
After five minutes, Scar hung up the phone and beckoned his brothers over.
"Get up and get ready, everyone. We’ve got a big job coming."
Hearing Scar’s words, the previously bored members of Scar’s team immediately showed excitement. They were not afraid of death but feared being bored to death. According to them, if they were to die, they should die charging forward.
"Those damn bastards from Atlantis had the nerve to poke into our bureau. Do you think we can let that slide?"
After Scar said this, the previously playful team members’ expressions turned serious. If the country was their father, then the security bureau was their mother. How could they tolerate someone targeting their mother?
"Those damned bastards, we’ve been too lenient with them. This time, we must teach them a good lesson."
One of Scar’s team members, designated as Number 6, smirked. Known as Number 6, teammates referred to him as "Old Six."
Although the name was comical, no one found him funny because he was an expert in demolition. Anyone who crossed him would end up buried underground with buildings. Because of this, he was known in Scar’s team as someone not to be messed with lightly.
"Actually, this task is perfect for you."
While speaking, Scar took out a map. Several places were marked with red Xs.
Scar pointed at the marked locations and sternly told his teammates.
"These are the places we’ll be attacking next. We must make thorough arrangements to completely destroy the Atlantis bases while ensuring our brothers’ safety."
Scar’s team ranked in the top three under Song Xiangdong, not just because they had a high mission completion rate, but also because they had a high survival rate.
"Don’t worry, boss. We’ll carry out your orders precisely."
The members chosen to accompany Scar to Atlantis were long-time comrades, understanding each other with just a glance.
"Follow my plan and get ready."
Scar explained his strategy to the team. After confirming there were no issues, they nodded. Then, they left in batches without a word. This was the tacit understanding of an elite team.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen and his team had reached an alley near the target location. Along the way, they discovered six hidden sentries and twelve more in visible positions.
"It seems Atlantis really cares about this place. They’ve assigned so many people."
Looking at the four beside him, Lin Beichen smirked.
"Boss, leave it to me. I’ll take care of it in five minutes."
"Stop trying to show off. Do you really need five minutes? I can handle those hidden sentries in three."
Electric Flash smiled slightly, acting arrogantly on purpose.
