The revenge of the Eastern landers.
The complete annihilation of Tanaka Yuan's clan was the cruel retaliation of the Eastern landers for us setting up an ambush here to "surround and attack reinforcements"!
How could they do such a thing!?
Rhode and the others exchanged glances, seeing unprecedented fear in each other's eyes.
They had all witnessed how the two individuals who called themselves the White-Bellied Birds had slaughtered Tanaka Yuan's entire clan.
And the White-Bellied Birds had made it very clear.
Today it was Tanaka Yuan's family, tomorrow it would be their families.
Shameless.
Bastards.
Inhumane—
Etc.
Enough of that damn talk, they needed to discuss what to do.
Rhode and the others, relying on the special environment and using high-tech equipment to hunt down rescuers from the Eastern land, had felt like the bravest and most formidable hunters in the world.
But now?
They suddenly felt like they had become the prey of the White-Bellied Birds!
The sense of accomplishment gained from days of hunting had completely vanished after watching the live broadcast.
"How did the White-Bellied Birds know our true identities?"
This question was important.
But it was not the most pressing issue that Rhode and the others needed to resolve.
What Rhode and the others needed to consider was how to protect the safety of their loved ones.
"Tanaka Yuan, where are you going?"
Just as Rhode was contemplating whether to quickly call his wife and daughters and hide somewhere no one could find them with the fastest speed, he heard James shout loudly.
Rhode looked up.
He saw Tanaka Yuan, as if driven mad, running towards the camouflaged tent (white, blending in with the snow), and lifting the white felt.
Beneath the felt was a snowmobile.
The ignition system of this snowmobile was specially designed.
It could start in one go even in a snowfield at minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Roar!
After starting the snowmobile, Tanaka Yuan immediately rushed into the tent.
"He's going home."
"He saw with his own eyes that his entire clan was wiped out by the White-Bellied Birds, and he can't accept this cruel reality, so he has to rush home immediately."
"But what can he do even if he rushes back now?"
"His family is all dead."
Smith and James and others looked at each other and spoke in low voices.
No one tried to stop Tanaka Yuan from going home.
Because everyone could see that he had gone insane!
If anyone tried to stop him at this moment, he would definitely pull out his pistol and blow the blocker's head to smithereens.
A man in extreme grief was undoubtedly the most terrifying!!
No one, including Rhode, dared to stop Tanaka Yuan.
Everyone was pondering one question: "What should we do next?"
At this moment.
Many people suddenly regretted participating in this hunting operation.
Relying on their superior numbers, especially high-tech weapons suitable for snowfield combat, hunting down those foolish Eastern landers did indeed bring a sense of accomplishment.
It could even be considered the most glorious moment of pride in their lives!
But once they turned from hunters to the prey of the White-Bellied Birds, they realized that things were not as pleasant as they had imagined.
"No one is allowed to leave without authorization, except Tanaka Yuan!"
Rhode suddenly shouted sternly: "The reason the White-Bellied Birds are threatening us through video is to make us fearful and cause us to desert, to go home. They want us to scatter like loose sand!"
"When we become loose sand,"
Rhode said sternly, pointing to the Black Water Forest hundreds of meters away: "then the enemies hiding in the dark, constantly ready to ambush us, will kill us like we hunted them, and then hang our corpses on the trees over there."
On the trees over there—
The white wind howled, sweeping away snowflakes.
It blew the seven or eight corpses hanging on the trees over there, making them swing back and forth.
These corpses—
Were Eastern land men who had been killed by high-tech weapons after fierce battles when they came to rescue King and others, following the brutal killing of Xing Xing.
"Besides these people we killed, there are more hidden where we can't see!"
Rhode roared: "As soon as we show the slightest weakness! Or if we move away from our advantageous terrain, we will turn from hunters to prey. We will be killed by people who suddenly emerge from the snow."
What Rhode said was very right.
Extremely right!
Therefore, everyone soon knew that Tanaka Yuan, who was determined to go home, was doomed.
"But, what about our families?"
Smith asked loudly, "My wife is still very young and beautiful! My daughter is only two months old. My two sisters, my younger brother, and my parents are all very happy!"
Rhode asked coldly, "Why have they been so happy all these years?"
Smith fell silent.
It was precisely because of his "sacrifices" outside that his family had been so happy all these years.
Especially for this mission.
Before Smith and the others departed, each of them received a settlement fee of one million dollars.
After the mission ended and they returned home, they would receive another million dollars.
Anyone who died here would be given three million dollars!
"The reason our families are so happy is because we kill people outside."
Rhode said mercilessly, "And it is precisely because our hands are stained with the blood of others that we can earn the expenses to maintain their happy lives."
"But the White-Bellied Bird—"
Smith said despairingly, "He will definitely go and kill my wife, my daughter, my parents, my brothers and sisters."
Heh heh.
Rhode smiled: "Do you really think that after the White-Bellied Birds committed genocide in Toyo, they could leave Toyo so easily? Or do you think my Rhode family can be bullied by anyone? Or do you think, with just the two of them, they can hunt down our families, hundreds of people strong, all over the world?"
Smith and the others' eyes gradually lit up.
Yes.
Why hadn't they thought of what Rhode was saying?
Not to mention anything else, just the Rhode family alone.
That was the number one family in the world, with rumored assets of up to fifty trillion dollars!
Let alone a mere two assassins, even the Dragon Ruins, one of the four major powers in the world, could not wipe out the Rhode family.
And the Rhode family had already received news of the destruction of the Tanaka family and would make the fastest and most correct response.
They would never let the White-Bellied Birds, who had committed heinous crimes in Toyo, leave Toyo alive!
As long as the White-Bellied Birds could not leave Toyo alive—
What did the destruction of Tanaka Yuan's entire clan have to do with anyone!?
After being enlightened by Rhode, Smith and the others' taut nerves instantly relaxed a lot.
James asked, "Boss, do you think the White-Bellied Bird is related to the Dragon Ruins?"
"Absolutely not."
Rhode said with certainty: "In fact, many people are hoping the Dragon Ruins will interfere in this matter without authorization."
Phew.
James and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it had nothing to do with the Dragon Ruins, that was good.
"Alright, stop worrying. Everyone, focus on your work, lest the enemy take advantage of the opportunity."
As Rhode waved his hand, he saw Tanaka Yuan rush out of the tent with a large pack on his back.
It was too far from the city.
Even though Tanaka Yuan had lost his reason, his instincts were still intact.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have packed so much food and cold-weather supplies to take with him.
"Alas, poor child, may the Lord be with you and bless you on your safe journey home."
As Tanaka Yuan jumped onto the snowmobile and sped east, Rhode and the others made the sign of the cross over their hearts.
They sent him their most devout blessings.
Go home!
Must go home!!
As fast as possible—
This was the only thing Tanaka Yuan was thinking in his mind at the moment.
He had already decided when he was packing his things earlier.
After he returned home and buried his family, he would immediately set off for the Eastern land.
He would transform into a warrior of revenge!
He would indiscriminately kill as many Eastern land children as possible!!
Only in this way could he avenge his son Tarou!!!
"Eastern land dogs, you wait for me."
After an unknown amount of time speeding, Tanaka Yuan suddenly roared loudly.
Before the roar had even finished—
The speeding snowmobile suddenly lurched violently and flew into the air.
It drew a beautiful arc of twenty meters on the vast snowy plain before crashing down with a bang.
Someone had stretched a thick rope across the path Tanaka Yuan was taking, causing him to flip over.
Bang!
After the motorcycle landed, Tanaka Yuan was thrown a considerable distance, disoriented.
As he was about to get up—
A foot heavily stepped on his neck.
Then he saw a person limping over: "Lao Gao, don't kill him yet!"
