White-Head's New Mission, No Time to Explain, Stop the Car

Lu Lin was pushed down by Ren Tian and looked back.

In the crowd, Liu Weiran's gaze happened to land on him.

Lu Lin smiled at her and waved his hand.

"Wait for me to come back."

Liu Weiran also revealed a smile, her white teeth shining in the sunlight, looking exactly like what love should be.

"Okay."

Lu Lin boarded the vehicle. Ren Tian hadn't expected the kid to be so quick, but this time, he didn't push Lu Lin back down.

"Brother Ren, let's go!"

Lu Lin shouted. At this moment, he felt impulsive, like an eighteen-year-old youth.

"Let's move!"

"Big brother will take you to brave the wilderness."

With a stomp on the gas pedal, the Tiger-class off-road pickup truck surged forward like a real tiger, merging into the vast stream of traffic.

Sitting in the back row, Lu Lin turned his head to look behind him.

Under the sunlight, Liu Weiran was still standing there, watching him leave.

Lu Lin felt that he would never forget that image for the rest of his life.

The city gates swung wide open.

The stream of vehicles leaving the city filed out one after another.

After the vehicles belonging to Zhou Shenming and Ren Tian disappeared at the city gate, a scruffy, unshaven man stepped out from a corner. He pulled a slip of paper from his pocket with two license plate numbers written on it.

After comparing them with the plates he had just seen, the man took out his phone and composed a message: "They have departed, heading toward 301 Forward Base."

Without waiting for a reply, the man cautiously looked around, and his figure quickly vanished.

Just as the traffic at the city gate began to thin out, a vehicle from the Wu'an Bureau arrived at the scene.

A female inspector with snow-white hair and skin as fair as snow stepped out from the driver's seat.

"Have they all left?"

"Of course they've left, Chief. I told you yesterday that we should go to Lu Lin's house to investigate as soon as possible, but you kept saying there wasn't enough key evidence. Now that the evidence has been found, the person is already gone."

The one speaking was also an inspector, but he only had two stars on his shoulder representing a mid-level inspector, unlike Bai Wei, who had three stars on hers.

"It's fine. If he's gone, he's gone. It's not like Lu Lin won't come back."

Bai Wei brushed back her snow-white hair, revealing a beautiful face that looked as if it belonged to an Elf.

Even though they had worked with Bai Wei for a long time, the two male inspectors behind her couldn't help but show expressions of infatuation.

However, both men quickly stiffened and averted their gazes.

Compared to Bai Wei's beautiful face, her temper and her fists were the truly terrifying things.

"Let's go, get in the car. We'll go talk to Lu Lin's parents again. This guy clearly failed the Martial Arts Examination, yet he managed to advance to a Martial Artist in just a few days. He definitely has a secret."

"Perhaps it was a benefit he obtained from Scarface and his four men after he killed them."

Bai Wei muttered to herself, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, he must have obtained this opportunity before he encountered Scarface and the others. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to kill Scarface, who had the strength of a Mid-level Martial Artist, let alone beheading him with a single strike. It's been a long time since I've seen such a seasoned and ruthless young man."

"Boss, your phone is ringing."

The two subordinates pointed to Bai Wei's waist. The ringtone had played over and over, but Bai Wei had been so lost in thought that she hadn't noticed.

"Oh, right, thank you."

Bai Wei thanked them and quickly answered, "Commander, this is Bai Wei."

"Yes, that's right. I'm currently following up on the case of Scarface's death. What do you mean, put it aside? Commander, let me tell you... What?"

"A large number of Martial Artist deaths have occurred around Baiyin Mountain? The death toll has reached over 50, and there are even Martial Masters among the dead?"

"Understood, I will head over as soon as possible. Alright, no problem. I will be careful. Yes, Commander, wait for my good news."

Bai Wei hung up the phone, her tone serious. "You two, I just received a mission from the Commander. There have been a large number of unnatural deaths of Martial Artists near Baiyin Mountain. The specific cause is unknown; it is suspected that a Monster is clearing the area before its evolution. This mission is very dangerous. You two are only Mid-level Martial Artists, so return to the bureau as soon as possible. I will handle this matter alone."

Hearing Bai Wei say this, the two subordinates immediately became anxious. "Boss, that won't do. How can you just cast your subordinates aside the moment you see an opportunity to earn merit?"

The other one added, "Exactly, Boss Bai. We've been working together for over three years. You can't just ditch us to go solo on a good opportunity like this. I'm definitely going."

Bai Wei looked at the two of them. Although she wanted to persuade them otherwise, she knew their personalities. They were usually easygoing, but when it came to work, they would never compromise in the slightest.

"Fine, then we go together. The Commander has already contacted the 301 Forward Base. We can collect supplies as soon as we arrive."

"Move out!"

"Yes, Boss Bai!"

The three of them quickly got into the car, passed through the city gate, and headed toward Baiyin Mountain to carry out their mission.

As the car drove out of the city gate, it was the first time in his life that Lu Lin saw the world outside the city.

The so-called wilderness simply referred to the vast area outside the city; it was not truly a desolate wasteland.

After passing through a three-kilometer-long buffer zone that was completely empty, Ren Tian drove onto a smooth asphalt road.

"Lu Lin, how does it feel? Is it a bit different from the wilderness you imagined?"

Ren Tian turned on the car music and began to sway his body to the rhythm, looking just like someone clubbing at a bar.

"It is a bit different."

Outside the city, there were no monsters darting about, nor were there any bloody, brutal battles. As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were filled with low-lying shrubbery. This was an environment specifically cultivated by the Satellite City Troops to ensure that their line of sight wouldn't be obstructed, allowing them to spot approaching monsters immediately.

"Haha, don't be in such a rush. Everything from here to Forward Base 301 is under the control of our Dongshan City. If any monsters occasionally break in, they get cut down by the patrolling soldiers."

"You won't see the real wilderness until we reach the forward base."

"Brother Dawei, Brother Xiaowei, Lu Lin uses a blade too. When you have time later, give him some pointers."

"Sure, no problem."

Lu Lin still couldn't tell the twin brothers apart; they were dressed identically, with no obvious differences.

"Dapao, turn the music up a bit. I think Brother Lu Lin looks a little nervous."

"You got it."

Ren Tian cranked up the volume, and the brothers Yang Dawei and Yang Xiaowei joined him, swaying to the rhythm of the music.

To Lu Lin, this atmosphere and vibe didn't feel like they were heading out to hunt monsters at all; it felt more like they were going on a camping trip.

After the car had been driving for a while, Lu Lin grew accustomed to the scenery on both sides of the road and suddenly felt a bit bored.

"Stop the car, stop the car!"

The person in the passenger seat—he didn't know if it was Dawei or Xiaowei—suddenly shouted.

Ren Tian slammed on the brakes, causing the cars following behind to honk their horns in annoyance. Ignoring them, Ren Tian slowly pulled the car to the side of the road and asked, "Brother Dawei, what's wrong?"

"There's something good! No time to explain, get out of the car, quick!"
