Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1062 - 534: Pastoral Paradise (Part 2)

Joseph is already dead, most likely killed by Lin Beichen.

From the behavior of the people at the base now, they seem to have feared Joseph greatly; otherwise, they wouldn't be so obedient when he was alive.

Flying Eagle was plotting in his mind: endure humiliation temporarily until Lin Beichen arrives, and then could easily capture this bunch in one sweep?

However, some secretly rebellious people have long installed surveillance at this base, and Joseph couldn't be bothered to manage it—because he knew that as long as he was around, these people couldn't stir up much trouble.

If he weren't around?

That would mean he was tired of playing, so why not give what's left to them? Of course, at this moment, Flying Eagle hadn't realized a very serious problem.

In the twilight glow, Lin Beichen furrowed his brows deeply.

Xia Luyao didn't know what he was thinking, worried that Joseph's death would be too much of a shock to him, so she asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Lin Beichen said nothing; as an adult, he knew he should keep some things to himself and face them alone.

"Nothing." He shook his head, saying, "Let's go and bury Joseph and the person behind him first."

He still did not fully understand the true motive behind Joseph's actions, nor who his revenge target was. Why did he seek death mainly?

These questions troubled Lin Beichen more and more, but they were not the primary reasons for his headache.

Out of respect for the strong, they decided to bury Joseph.

At the same time, Lin Beichen was also contemplating how to find Flying Eagle and others next because he responsibly admitted: he was lost.

Xia Luyao crouched on the ground, using that exquisite knife to dig the soil, trying to create a pit.

There was no choice; they were soldiers, not grave robbers, so they did not have shovels specifically for digging pits.

Lin Beichen watched Xia Luyao's clumsy movements and suddenly laughed. He had never seen Xia Luyao so adorable, so he walked over and watched her dig the soil.

Under the effect of the Talisman, Xia Luyao's injuries had healed, allowing her to move freely.

But after waiting for a long while, Xia Luyao realized Lin Beichen had no intention of helping, so she angrily pulled out her knife, stood up, and questioned Lin Beichen, "Hey, you said we should bury them, so why aren't you helping me now?"

Lin Beichen smiled wryly and explained, "The power I use to activate the Talismans has been completely exhausted, with my veins dried up. Although physically uninjured, squatting or sitting could easily lead to madness."

Upon hearing this explanation, Xia Luyao fell silent for a moment.

She only now realized that since arriving here, Lin Beichen had almost been continuously fighting without rest.

Although he could fight better than ordinary people, he was still flesh and blood.

"So what should we do now?" Xia Luyao's tone softened a lot as she asked Lin Beichen, who looked helpless.

Lin Beichen pondered for a while, then exchanged for a specialized grave-robbing Luoyang shovel from the system, handing it to Xia Luyao: "Use this to bury them first. After that, we'll find a place to rest for the night."

He glanced at the Faith Value on his panel and then at Joseph's corpse, "At least before dying, you managed to do one good thing." He chuckled, as Joseph had provided him with a hundred thousand points of Faith Value, which had truly solved his urgent needs.

Life is unpredictable; it was surprising that Joseph, who was clearly an adversary, sincerely believed in the Xia Country Daoist Family before his death. But speaking of which, why does the system mall even have a Luoyang shovel?

"The system is designed to serve the host; please don't overthink it," the system answered in Lin Beichen's mind, though he felt something was off, so he planned to check if grave-robbing was considered a Daoist offshoot after completing this mission.

Of course, as a contemporary youth with a strict moral line, he would never touch the red line of grave-robbing.

However, if the temptation of money was great enough, he might just have to carefully think it over.

Exhausted and sweating, Xia Luyao finally completed the burial task.

Lin Beichen ignored her complaining eyes and, feeling the Spiritual Qi surging anew within him, waved his hand in satisfaction: "Let's go find a place to stay."

Upon seeing the gently flowing stream, Lin Beichen felt an inexplicable connection to the place.

Therefore, under Xia Luyao's astonished gaze, he took only fifteen seconds to set up an extremely comfortable resting area using an Array.

Just how good was this resting spot?

To save you the trouble of complex descriptions, I can only tell you this: the raw materials for setting up this Array cost ten thousand Faith Value.

Of course, these materials are reusable and versatile—after all, if a daily rest Array demanded some bizarre materials, that would be unreasonable.

Xia Luyao lay on the palace-style bed meticulously arranged by Lin Beichen, her gaze still somewhat dazed.

Her mind kept echoing with Lin Beichen's previous confident assertion that he had no Spiritual Qi, along with the various phenomena during Array setup.

She couldn't help but worry: would Joseph's subordinates come for them tonight? However, the answer was no.

After Joseph's death, his subordinates rebelled, some suppressed, the battles were fiercely intense, leaving no time to bother them.

Xia Luyao felt utterly exhausted but was unwilling to fall asleep easily.

Therefore, she began to focus entirely on recalling the various Talismans and Arrays Lin Beichen had cast.

"In the wild, he can casually construct such a semi-real world..." Xia Luyao suddenly blushed as she thought of something, burying her head deeply into the blanket.

Gradually, her breathing steadied, and her face slowly emerged from the blanket.

At some point, Lin Beichen had already sat by Xia Luyao's bed—he wasn't a pervert, just came to take another look at his little disciple.

Above their heads hung a softly glowing Peace Talisman.

"Sleep well." Lin Beichen gazed at the dust still on Xia Luyao's face, his voice tinged with a bit of heartache.

Originally, he planned to secretly rescue the Flying Eagle and others tonight—now that he had Spiritual Qi and Faith Value, he naturally had ways to solve the problem of getting lost.

However, after some careful consideration, he thought Joseph's subordinates included masters.

Though he could ensure Xia Luyao's safety, he might encounter dangers himself.

If he were to be driven into a panic, escaping embarrassingly, that would be too disgraceful.

Thus, Lin Beichen decided to meditate and cultivate for a while tonight, waiting to act with Xia Luyao tomorrow for safety.

With this thought, his figure flickered, and he appeared sitting on a cushion.

As an Array designed for the Daoist person, including a Spirit Gathering Array was evidently reasonable.

And this cushion was the eye of the Spirit Gathering Array. Lin Beichen sat on it throughout the night.

...

Meanwhile, Flying Eagle and others were receiving the best treatment at this base.

They constantly heard metallic collisions, gunfire, and people's screams from outside, the entire base had descended into complete chaos.

Three forces, well-prepared for a long time, had incited this riot, and the internal anti-rebellion organization had collapsed within an hour.

As Li Congjing usually did not exhibit convincing strength and decisiveness, with Joseph's death, most people joined the riot.

Outside, the sounds of these three forces slaughtering each other could be heard, while Flying Eagle and their elite squad were undoubtedly a major variable in this information warfare.
