Chapter 1554: Chapter 781: Investigating the News

Listening to Li Kui and Aixius, Lin Beichen actually had a plan in mind.

He planned to explore Freedom City.

If it’s not suitable there, they’ll just find another place, as they don’t have a clear goal at the moment.

Moreover, taking a look won’t cost anything and won’t take too much time.

So, Lin Beichen turned to Li Kui, who was driving, and said, "Let’s head to Freedom City."

Li Kui nodded and immediately concentrated on driving the car.

With a target, his speed noticeably increased.

After all, driving slowly would waste a lot of time, and he didn’t like being stuck in the car for too long.

That way, everything would be delayed.

That day, Lin Beichen and his party spent the entire day in the car.

Seeing the sky outside the car window gradually darken, Lin Beichen said to Li Kui, "There’s a big empty lot ahead, let’s park there for today."

Li Kui, hearing this, happily nodded and drove over, parking the car steadily.

Having driven for so long, he was tired. Although he switched with Brother Lin at noon for a while, it was still draining, and he almost fell asleep at the wheel.

This was why Lin Beichen decided not to drive at night. They were a large group; if someone driving got too tired and something happened, it would affect everyone, which would be terrible. They’ve just reached the center of the Golden Triangle and if they lose comrades before their mission even begins, it wouldn’t be worth it.

The helicopter in the sky saw the main group stopping below and found a spot to land too.

Leading the helicopter was Xu Qiang, the former leader of Wolf Fang Mercenaries, in whom Lin Beichen had much trust.

Xu Qiang got off the helicopter and asked Lin Beichen, "Are we planning to continue tomorrow?"

Lin Beichen nodded and then arranged for the brothers behind him to pitch tents and prepare to rest for the night on this open ground.

But before resting, they had to have dinner.

Lin Beichen wouldn’t let his brothers go hungry.

A small team specifically tasked with cooking immediately set up a pot on the spot and started cooking.

They brought quite a bit of food, including drinks, so the dinner was lively and abundant.

Lin Beichen dined on the grass nearby with some familiar brothers, like He Xing, Zhao Ligeng, Tyson, and Xu Qiang, who greeted him after getting off the helicopter.

Of course, Aixius was always nearby; she’s almost become Lin Beichen’s shadow.

Lin Beichen remained cautious during mealtime.

He arranged for a dozen or twenty people to keep watch around them, in case someone suddenly attacked.

This place is different from the base, which is protected by high walls. If seventy or eighty people silently surrounded them and suddenly started shooting, Lin Beichen thought that besides him, no one else might survive.

After all, none of the four hundred people currently had weapons; they were relaxing and eating.

In special situations, it’s not uncommon for fewer people to defeat larger numbers.

So Lin Beichen occasionally scanned the surroundings with the system, fearing someone may have infiltrated with ill intentions.

After all, there were plenty of things he had to worry about now since he wasn’t alone.

After a while, the system picked up some activity, but it wasn’t anything significant.

It was just some of the brothers who ate quickly going to relieve those previously on patrol, and then those people returned to rest and eat.

Lin Beichen shook his head, thinking there’s no one crazy enough to attempt a sneak attack on them here.

Unless...

Yes, unless it was him.

Lin Beichen chuckled, recalling his assassinations of Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps.

Now Lin Beichen was curious about what happened to those forces after their leaders died. Given a chance, he wanted to check up on them.

Then Lin Beichen pondered, with his current power, how he would handle Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps again?

He believed he’d still opt for assassination because even if he could win, it would be a tough victory.

This couldn’t compare to the Ford Mercenary Corps.

As Lin Beichen was thinking, night had fully arrived.

He arranged people to take turns on night guard and rest.

The night passed quietly, and the next day, Lin Beichen and his group resumed their journey.

After traveling for another half day, Aixius, who had been sitting idly, suddenly saw something that made her happy.

After sitting in the car for a day and a half, any normal person would feel annoyed, so it’s normal for Aixius to be worn out.

What exactly did she see? Why was she so excited? Lin Beichen also looked over curiously, and it turned out to be a road sign.

It indicated Wood Stone Town wasn’t far away.

Although they hadn’t reached Freedom City yet, the destination wasn’t far once they arrived at Wood Stone Town.

That’s why Aixius was ecstatic, and she excitedly shouted to Lin Beichen, "Lin Beichen, look, Wood Stone Town, Wood Stone Town!"

"Yes, I see it, you don’t need to say it," Lin Beichen glared at her, thinking that this girl is quite animated, he could definitely see it too.

"Hey, it feels like the last time we came to Wood Stone Town was just yesterday."

Aixius suddenly spoke up, leaving Lin Beichen puzzled. He couldn’t figure out what was on her mind and asked, "Why are you suddenly being so sentimental?"

Aixius retorted, "What scheme is your little brain working on?"

Lin Beichen hastily waved his hand, "No... not thinking anything."
