I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 131 - 130 As If Nothing Had Happened
Chapter 131: Chapter 130 As If Nothing Had Happened
Chicken Snake Country had completely ground to a halt, with the United Council’s peacekeeping forces and various humanitarian relief organizations from different countries successively entering the nation. Meanwhile, delegations from powers such as the Sethiyan Federation and the Western Alliance were all abroad, intercepted by the military of Yin Country.
Conservative leaders in exile kept making statements about returning to Chicken Snake Country, but they failed to gain support. Entrusted by the United Council, Yin Country assisted local civil rights organizations within Chicken Snake Country to establish a temporary transitional government.
Yet another round of power games unfolded in Chicken Snake Country.
On television, there was no news about Wuliang City at all, but there was an abundance of messages about severe natural disasters occurring in Chicken Snake Country, with many nations donating food and other supplies.
Wuliang Airport was also erased in the event involving Wei Tianyang, with more than thirty medical personnel sacrificed. Along with the annihilation of the population of Wuliang City, which numbered in the millions, this had already constituted a crime against humanity.
However...
No individual, organization, or country held Wei Tianyang accountable for this.
Even barring a few superpowers’ absolute centers of power, not many people knew what had occurred in Wuliang City.
Presidents of the PMC companies that had lost some members in Wuliang City all oddly and unanimously announced to the public immediately after the incident that there had been an accident during a highly confidential United Army military exercise, resulting in casualties. The companies would compensate the families of the victims with a sum twice the usual amount.
Wei Tianyang and Lin Yanqing, along with Li Songyan, walked towards Kongse for several kilometers, where they happened to come upon an empty bus.
The driver didn’t say a word, and after bringing them back to Kongse, he left without a goodbye.
As evening approached, the three of them intended to find shelter at the Black House, but it had already been surrounded. Soaking wet, with blood on Wei Tianyang’s arm and holding Yaha in his arms, they drew side glances from people.
Due to the entire nation being at a standstill, there was panic in the streets, and some opinion leaders had even started to rally, preparing to implement regional autonomy.
Wei Tianyang unlocked the door to the café, finally giving the three of them a place to sit down.
He had Yaha sit beside him and got up to rummage through the back kitchen, planning to make some coffee, only to find that the power was out. Suddenly, he remembered there seemed to be a power plant in Wuliang City...
Back at their seats, the three of them looked at one another in silence.
Half an hour later, a group of more than ten people came knocking on the door. They wore work badges from the United Council around their necks and were unarmed; they were kindly-looking staff members dressed in casual attire.
"Comrade Li Songyan, we’ve finally found you!"
The man leading the group had the appearance of a professor and was from West Soil. He spoke to Li Songyan while his eyes shifted towards Wei Tianyang.
"How did you find me?" Li Songyan was a bit puzzled.
"The Sethiyan Federation offered some help, plus your last cell phone signal came from this city, so we decided to try our luck," the man said.
"Well, that is fortunate..." Li Songyan said.
He understood the implications— the United Council wouldn’t expend such vast resources to find him, nor would they use Sethiyan Federation spy satellites to track a war observer. The vehicle that took them back to Kongse was probably sent by some power.
The worst hadn’t come to pass, and Li Songyan couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Wei Tianyang, recalling an old saying in his mind:
"The killer of one is a criminal; the killer of ten is a monster. The killer of a hundred or a thousand is a hero."
What about someone who wiped out a million in an instant...?
He dared not imagine what sort of revered existence Wei Tianyang now was in the eyes of the power centers of various countries.
Previously, he had actually been worried that Wei Tianyang would be wanted globally, which was clearly an overconcern... All the moral standards and laws that restrict ordinary people no longer applied to Wei Tianyang.
Li Songyan had an epiphany... Now, there was a whole host of powers willing to give their all just for Wei Tianyang to nod in agreement.
He suddenly felt so distant from this sixteen-year-old boy, so very distant...
"Let’s get you out of here first, and you can have a good rest when we get back," the man patted Li Songyan’s shoulder.
"Wei..." Li Songyan was still concerned about the trial, but as he started to speak, the man shook his head.
"Kongse is too close to Yin Country, way too close," the man said helplessly.
Li Songyan sighed, knowing it must be the higher-ups of Yin Country, overtly and covertly, applying tremendous pressure on the United Council... ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Let’s go, Comrade Li Songyan," the man said.
Li Songyan turned to look at Wei Tianyang and said, "Don’t forget what you promised me."
Wei Tianyang nodded, saying, "I will, you’ll definitely find a way to contact me. Right?"
Li Songyan nodded, a bitter smile forming on his lips. There wasn’t much to say now that things had come to this point. Thus, he followed the people from the United Council and left.
Lin Yanqing said, "We’re filthy. Let’s find a hotel to clean up. Since you’ll have to go to Yin Country to testify in court anyway, why not come back to my country with me?"
"I don’t have a digital visa. I’m afraid I won’t be able to cross the border with you, and the same goes for Yaha," Wei Tianyang said.
"You’ve always been able to get through, haven’t you? Can’t you teleport? Yin Country is so big that no one would find you even if you teleported in," Lin Yanqing said.
"I don’t want to enter that way. It would be no different from being in Qiayang City," Wei Tianyang shook his head.
Besides, he now had Yaha with him and couldn’t afford to take any more risks.
Lin Yanqing chuckled and said, "If it were just you alone, the events in Wuliang City could be overlooked, but if you rashly joined a certain country... that would complicate matters."
"I understand. Yin Country wouldn’t grant me a digital identity; otherwise, you would face opposition from other countries around the world, and all the mess of Chicken Snake Country would be blamed on you," Wei Tianyang nodded.
"But I still have a way to get you in, provided there’s a precondition," Lin Yanqing said.
"I haven’t said I want to go with you yet," Wei Tianyang laughed.
"Think about Yaha. She needs treatment. I’m a doctor, and I can see that her mind has been traumatized. She might have already lost her memory, and what’s more, she’s showing early Alzheimer’s symptoms... This is not good, and you wouldn’t want her condition to continue worsening, right?" Lin Yanqing said.
Wei Tianyang looked at Yaha, who was busy licking her bald wrist.
He quickly put down Yaha’s arm, saying, "Don’t lick the wound!"
"We’ll cross the border from here and go through some procedures... Then, we’ll find a local hotel to rest for the night, and tomorrow, I’ll take you to Fengrao City," Lin Yanqing said.
"Fengrao City?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"That is the capital of the Dayin Dynasty, the most developed inland city on the East Continent," Lin Yanqing said.
As she spoke, her expression took on an indescribable pride.
Half an hour later...
Wei Tianyang, leading Yaha and under the envious eyes of many Chicken Snake People, was escorted by Lin Yanqing through the border’s holographic cone fence, officially stepping into Yin Country’s territory.
He felt nothing.
This border town in Yunzhou, in terms of appearance alone, was no different from Kongse in Chicken Snake Country, just that there were more people on the streets.
As Wei Tianyang and Yaha crossed the border, the border guards immediately surrounded them when they saw no digital resident identification.
"Where are you from?" a soldier asked.
"I’m from Chicken Snake Country," Wei Tianyang answered.
"Non-citizens are not allowed inside," the soldier said again.
"But I’m already inside," Wei Tianyang replied.
"Make sure to go to the relevant department to get a digital identity. This won’t be tolerated again," said the soldier.
After that, they scattered.
So simple, so arbitrary...
Wei Tianyang looked at Lin Yanqing, who just gestured for them to keep up.
At night, they checked into a border hotel, booking two rooms and each took a turn to wash up.
Wei Tianyang entrusted Lin Yanqing to help Yaha bathe, informing her beforehand of Yaha’s physical issues. Being a doctor, she had no objections.
During the free time after washing up, Wei Tianyang also noticed that they were the only three staying in the small hotel, and infantry soldiers surrounded it on all sides.
After dinner, he lay down on the bed, watching Yaha, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly on the adjacent bed, and began to think about the next steps.
He would cure Yaha, and not by relying on so-called hospitals and medical techniques...
Yaha’s abilities originated from the Heavenly Falling Objects. As a reverse triangle used to seal them, she was a perfect display piece, signifying that the related abilities had been successfully acquired. At least one unit with the same abilities was active in the world.
This meant all he had to do was find one of them... or directly locate that Heavenly Falling Object, seize that power for himself... and then he could cure Yaha.
"Yaha... I will heal you, I promise," he murmured to himself.
