Gunfire, and then more gunfire. Yang Lin never imagined he would only visit this beautiful country twice in his life, and encounter shooting incidents both times.
This time, it happened right beside him.
"What's going on? Terrorists or a personal dispute?"
As this thought crossed Yang Lin's mind, several people wearing black hoods emerged from different corners of the hotel.
Then, they unleashed a barrage of gunfire towards the hotel ceiling, sending the Nobel laureates in the lobby into a frenzy of screams.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the interruption."
"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Adams, and I am the leader of the Black Gold Snake Mercenary Group."
After a round of shooting, a burly man with exposed chest hair walked into the center of the crowd, holding an AK.
"I regret to inform you that you have been temporarily kidnapped. However, rest assured, we are not after your money, nor do we intend to harm you. Of course, this all depends on your cooperation."
.....
"Kidnapped? Airstrikes? Mercenaries? What a mess. Traveling can lead to such exciting events?"
After the big man's introduction, Yang Lin had a general idea of what was happening.
But understanding didn't mean accepting. These people went through such trouble to kidnap a group of future Nobel laureates, not for money or to kill them. It couldn't be for lust, could it?
Speaking of lust, everyone present was an old man or an old woman. He was the youngest here.
As Yang Lin was lost in his thoughts, a terrorist holding a firearm walked towards him.
"Japanese?"
Hearing this extremely insulting remark again, Yang Lin almost couldn't resist punching him on the spot.
However, upon seeing the firearm in his hand, he finally held back, but he had already secretly memorized the terrorist's appearance and characteristics.
"You're going to die, you scumbag!"
Just as Yang Lin was contemplating how to get back at the terrorist, the terrorist's companion seemed to notice something from Yang Lin's expression.
"No, he's not Japanese. He's from Long Country. Only people from Long Country get so angry when mistaken for Japanese."
"I once mistook a friend from Long Country for Japanese, and he almost killed me."
Although the two spoke in English the entire time, Yang Lin still understood what they were saying.
"Let's go, man from Long Country. Follow us obediently. And you, Mr. Kimchi Country, next to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Serizawa next to him began to breathe fire.
"Damn it, I'm from the land of the rising sun!"
"You never remember. People with big eyes and double eyelids are from Long Country. People with knock knees are Japanese, and people with single eyelids and small eyes are from Kimchi Country."
.....
Two minutes later, intimidated by the terrorists' firearms, Yang Lin and Dr. Serizawa and a few others were escorted by the terrorists to a machine, where their facial features were recorded one by one.
At first, Yang Lin didn't know what they were doing until he saw a machine next to them synthesizing images of them appearing at a conference based on their facial features.
"They're trying to deceive the outside world. Are they going to take us somewhere else?"
The subsequent actions of the terrorists confirmed Yang Lin's speculation.
After recording everyone's information, they produced blindfolds and put them on everyone's heads.
After confirming that Yang Lin and the others could not see outside, the terrorists tied them together with ropes.
As it was about Yang Lin's turn, he pretended to casually scratch his ear.
Unbeknownst to the terrorists, tiny insects, only a few micrometers in size, drifted into the air like dandelion seeds.
Then, they were inhaled into the terrorists' nasal cavities.
Unknowingly, a round of unnoticed parasitism was completed.
As long as Yang Lin willed it, he could easily take the lives of these terrorists with a single thought.
However, he chose not to, as he also wanted to know what these people's motives were.
With this thought in mind, he, like the others, allowed himself to be led by the terrorists.
Before long, he felt himself being boarded onto a cruise ship.
It wasn't until the ship had sailed for a considerable distance that the blindfold on his head was removed.
Instantly, a vast expanse of azure sea appeared before his eyes.
"They went to all this trouble just to take us out to sea?"
Looking at the rapidly advancing cruise ship with a puzzled expression, Yang Lin was increasingly unable to understand these terrorists.
If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Glancing over the terrorists, he quickly found the one who had mistaken him for Japanese earlier.
"Scumbag, calling me Japanese, go drink nuclear wastewater!"
After silently reciting this thought, the terrorist who had been patrolling the crowd with a gun inexplicably began to walk towards the ship's railing.
The next second, everyone on the ship heard a splash, and a plume of water over a meter high erupted from the stern.
It wasn't until cries of "Help, help!" came from the sea that the others reacted.
Unfortunately, their ship was moving too fast, and they had a mission to complete. It was impossible to turn back to save their comrade, so they could only watch helplessly as the unfortunate soul struggled in the water.
If he was lucky, he might be rescued by a passing ship; if he was unlucky, he would become food for sharks.
Time passed by, and the ship carrying over a hundred Nobel nominees sailed on the sea for more than four hours.
Finally, in the afternoon, they arrived near a giant island.
As Yang Lin looked at the island in the distance, he knew they had reached their destination.
"Why did they bring us here?"
"Yeah, are they going to execute us here?"
"We are scientists, they can't treat us like this."
"How much money do you want? I'll give it to you."
"I don't want to die yet!"
.....
Realizing their journey had reached its end, the people on the ship began to wail again.
But just then, roars suddenly echoed from the giant island not far away.
Listening to these soul-stirring roars, everyone's face changed drastically, including Yang Lin's.
However, it wasn't over yet. After the roars, countless large birds suddenly took to the sky above the island and flew rapidly in their direction.
Everyone initially thought they were just ordinary seabirds, until they reached the edge of the island.
In an instant, everyone felt as if they were dreaming.
Because no matter how they looked, the birds seemed to be Pterosaurs, extinct for tens of thousands of years.
Only Yang Lin, upon seeing these Pterosaurs, understood everything.
"Damn it, it's those guys from the International Gene Company. You've fallen for their trap!"
As he suddenly understood, he also inexplicably became excited.
It felt like a wolf entering a sheep pen.
That's right, he was the wolf.
