Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 434 - Cloud Shadow (7)



While the Chinese man watched Yun Lintian, a sturdy western man walked to his side and said. "Judging from the direction he is heading in, are you sure he is not insane, Mister Zhu?"

The Chinese man, Zhu Ding, put the binocular down and glanced at the sturdy man with a faint smile. "Of course not. He is not an idiot. Do you know how many people had suffered in his hand back then?"

The sturdy man went silent. Before he accepted this mission, he had investigated Yun Lintian before, and the result made him terrified for many days. On the bright side, he was a genius doctor who saved countless lives, but behind that white gown, he was a ruthless grim-reaper who ate everyone's soul.

"How's the preparation?" Zhu Ding sat down on a comfortable chair and took a sip of fine wine. His expression was extremely relaxed.

The sturdy man replied. "We can start at any time."

Zhu Ding nodded. He put the glass of wine down and held his hands together while slightly leaning against the chair. A faint smile never left his face as he said. "Wait until he enters the mountain… I'll give you thirty minutes. Can you do it, Ross?"

The sturdy man, Ross, took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice. "No problem." He paused for a moment and asked. "What about Lightning?"

Zhu Ding glanced in the noodle store's direction and said calmly. "Forget about him. He's a lame man now. What else can he do?… Also, the identity of that old man is not ordinary. Since he decided to accept him in, we can't do anything for now."

Ross was curious. Wasn't that an ordinary old man? 

"Who is that person?" He asked.

Zhu Ding shook his head slightly. "It's just an old man who has been abandoned by time. You don't have to worry about him. He won't interfere with your operation." He took another sip of wine and said further. "Go ahead. He should reach the destination soon."

Ross nodded slightly and walked out of the room.

Watching Ross disappear from his sight, Zhu Ding turned his head to look at the heavy rain while stirring the wine gently. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

After leaving the market street, Yun Lintian found a taxi and went straight toward the mountain behind the suburban area.

"Young man, why are you going there at this time? It's dangerous, you know?" An uncle driver glanced at the rear mirror as he asked concernedly.

Yun Lintian replied with a smile. "I have an appointment with my friends there. We are going to camp there tonight."

The uncle driver frowned and said. "Camping? With this horrible weather? Young man, are you alright?" This man wasn't a mental patient, right?

Yun Lintian only gave a smile in reply and turned to look outside, with no intention of speaking further.

Seeing this, the uncle driver did not pry further and concentrated on driving. 

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the foot of a small green mountain. The uncle driver received the money and couldn't help asking. "Young man, why don't you go back today? I can send you home for free."

Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "Thank you, uncle. You should leave this place soon. Do not come back again." Following that, he opened the door and walked out.

The uncle driver watched Yun Lintian disappear into the mountain for a while and shook his head. "This young man's life is not easy at all." Afterward, he immediately drove the car away.

After the car left, a group of people wearing professional camouflage suits with machine guns in their hands appeared at the foot of the mountain. They gave the nod to each other before separating, moving into the mountain in a batch.

At this moment, Yun Lintian was skillfully passing through the forest path toward the top of the mountain. Along the way, he would occasionally set some traps with the grenades he had.

The sky became darker as it was already nighttime. Combined with the heavy rain, the entire mountain was shrouded with darkness as though it were covered by a giant blanket. 

There wasn't any light in this place, but Yun Lintian could still move forward without slowing down. His speed was fast. In ten minutes, he had almost reached the top of the mountain now.

Yun Lintian suddenly stopped his track and glanced around carefully. The area he was standing in right now was filled with dense tree lines, leaving a small gap between each other. He thought for a moment and took out the GlockG48 he got from the middle-aged man before hiding it in the soil under the nearby tree. He then used a knife to carve a symbol on the tree and left the place, moving further into the mountain.

A kilometer away from Yun Lintian, Ross in a professional camouflage suit stood calmly in the rain, listening to the report from his subordinates. 

"We have closed all the retreat routes." A voice rang out over his intercom. 

Ross nodded his head in satisfaction and replied. "Let's move."

Afterward, Ross and a few people behind him put night visions on their faces before rushing into the forest toward Yun Lintian's position.

Running for a while, Ross suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the area below a thick tree in the front. When his subordinates looked over, they saw a grenade tightly tied with a thin cable on the ground. As long as someone stumbled on it, it would immediately explode.

One of Ross's subordinates made a gesture and moved toward the trap cautiously. He carefully removed the cable without fear. Evidently, he had done something like this countless times before.

However, the moment he was about to completely remove the cable, he suddenly noticed another thin cable hiding beneath the grenade. His heart beat wildly as he carefully traced along the cable. 

"Mouse. Why are you so slow?" Another man in the group asked impatiently.

Mouse, who was concentrating on the thin cable, did not reply but continued to trace further until his gaze stopped at the foot of the man who spoke earlier.

"What are you looking at?" The man frowned and stepped forward. He did not notice that the cable under his foot was dragged along slightly. 

The cable was immediately pulled a safety pin of another grenade hiding above the tree nearby, causing the grenade to fall down.

"Watch out!" Mouse shouted loudly while jumping away as far as he could.

Boom!
