Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 562: Chapter 555: Strike Towards Amazon

The sudden and bizarre death of Nangong Shui, and the theft of his corpse, clearly suggested foul play. How could he have died so abruptly and mysteriously, and his body stolen? Could Heavenly Gate have known about his return and orchestrated this to lure Lin Zifeng out?

Considering all the potential consequences, Lin Zifeng’s mind was more chaotic than anyone’s.

Brazil is located in South America and is especially close to the Amazon Rainforest. Lin Zifeng could no longer remember the exact coordinates of Dark Prison in South America, but he distinctly remembered that when he had escaped from Dark Prison, it was by traversing through the Amazon Rainforest, known as the king of biodiversity, well aware of the dangers lying within...

...

On a private jet, Nangong Bing’s pale face had lost all its color. She curled up, leaning against the window of the plane, her usually confident and proud eyes now replaced by pale, tear-stained cheeks that looked touchingly vulnerable. If Lin Zifeng were there, he would have undoubtedly held her close to comfort her.

This was the first impulsive moment in Nangong Bing’s life, the first time she felt fear, the first time she felt helpless, and at that moment, she felt as if there was no one in the world who could help her.

She didn’t know that back in Zhonghai City, Lin Zifeng had nearly moved heaven and earth for her.

She dreaded the loss of her father and feared being left alone in the future.

For many years, having lost her mother at a young age, her father had always been busy with work while she was left alone to study abroad. Finally, after she graduated and took over the Tianyu Group to lighten her father’s workload, she never anticipated events taking such a turn.

Leaning weakly against the plane window, Nangong Bing’s mind was filled with the scene of Nangong Shui returning home that night.

The agony of losing her father was more than she could bear alone.

...

That day.

In the outskirts of Zhonghai City, outside Sand Castle, stood countless fully armed members of the Shadow Group. Alongside them, several military combat helicopters hovered near the castle, filling the area with a formidable aura.

This was the first time the Shadow Group had traveled abroad, and Lin Zifeng had mentioned earlier the possible dangers of the Amazon Rainforest. Given that the Amazon Rainforest, known as the kingdom of biodiversity, contained an unknown number of terrifying creatures, it remained a mystery to the world.

However, Lin Zifeng knew the horrors of the Amazon Rainforest all too well; there were enormous snakes over tens of meters long, world-famous piranhas, and ant colonies that could devour anything at any time. He was the only person who had managed to walk out of the forest alive—

Just recently, Long Yunfei had identified the exact location of Nangong Shui’s death through international intelligence—it was right on the edge of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, a place Lin Zifeng was particularly reluctant to visit!

Nangong Bing was likely heading to the Amazon to search for her father’s body!

This realization made Lin Zifeng even more anxious.

Under Black Hawk’s command, everyone boarded the helicopters, awaiting Lin Zifeng’s orders for the mission.

This was the first international mission for the Shadow Group, and excitement was evident on the faces of all its members, yet Lin Zifeng’s determined face showed a touch of sadness.

”Brother Lin, what’s wrong?” Black Hawk knew the mission to find Nangong Shui’s corpse was significant and potentially fraught with unimaginable dangers, yet he still tried to appear relaxed.

”How many do you think will come back alive?” Lin Zifeng’s voice was somber as he pointed to the young members of the Shadow Group inside the cabin, their faces filled with excitement and pride. But in his eyes, their expressions seemed more bitter than glorious.

”Brother Lin, I don’t understand what you mean.”

From the expression on Lin Zifeng’s face, he could already tell that this mission was going to be extremely difficult, but when Lin Zifeng said such things to him, it inevitably made Black Hawk’s heart extremely uncomfortable.

”Two years ago, thirteen of you followed me, and in the end, only you came back alive. Two years later, you are following me again. Don’t you regret it?” His voice was low and somewhat hoarse.

He stared intensely at Black Hawk for a long time before finally shifting his cold gaze away.

Black Hawk suddenly let out a bitter laugh, his fierce square face revealing a brilliant cold smile, and said, ”Lin, if you really think that way, then brother, I really look down on you! Since we’ve fallen, wherever we fell, we must rise from there. If you are still comparing things to how they were two years ago, then I, Black Hawk, am truly disappointed in you. We thirteen brothers followed you because you brought us hope, and today is no different! We follow you because of the passion you initially showed. Have you forgotten how those brothers died? Don’t you want to avenge them?” Black Hawk’s gaze was fiery, his dark eyes filled with endless flames.

Silence, stillness.

Lin Zifeng didn’t speak, his gaze burning as he stared at Black Hawk for a long time.

”Whether we can survive or not, I, Black Hawk, am still your brother, and you, Lin Zifeng, are also my dear brother!” Black Hawk’s gaze was firm, his determined square face displaying a hint of decisiveness.

”Shadow Group must always face real difficulties; if we can’t endure even this, how can we contend with Heavenly Gate in the future? Have you forgotten what you once promised us, to leave something meaningful in our lives? It’s better to be a man in chaos than a dog in peace! To live is to survive for our own ideals. If we continue to live a mediocre life day after day like we are now, does living even have any meaning for us?”

Lin Zifeng was silent, completely silent.

At that moment, his mind was entirely filled with concern for Nangong Bing’s safety, and if anything were to actually happen to Nangong Bing, he wouldn’t know what to do.

It was only after a while that he slowly regained his composure.

...Six hours later.

Nangong Bing’s private plane finally arrived at the Brazilian Embassy.

However, the answer she received from the embassy was so simple.

Nangong Shui was dead—

On the edge of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, his body had been taken by a group of mercenaries.

This news, like a bomb, instantly threw Nangong Bing’s mind into chaos—

By the time Lin Zifeng arrived, Nangong Bing had already collapsed powerless in the embassy’s rest room, but her entire being seemed as if her soul had been withdrawn, quietly remaining there, motionless.

Two streams of silent tears continuously slid down her face; the tears never stopped.

Lin Zifeng’s heart was wrenched; he pulled the woman into his embrace, promising her he would definitely find Nangong Shui’s body.

Nangong Bing, in a daze, murmured, ”Tell me, my father isn’t really dead, is he? My father didn’t die, right? They must be lying to me.”

”Right! Your father isn’t dead; we’ll find him together,” Lin Zifeng kept encouraging her, even though his heart was in even more pain than Nangong Bing’s.

”Let’s go! Take me to find my father, take me to find my father. I know he definitely isn’t dead. He wouldn’t just die like that.”
