Chapter 103 - 102 True Freedom
Chapter 103: Chapter 102 True Freedom
The night was draped in darkness, a moonless night.
Old Street, Six-faced God Mountain.
After a collapse, the mountain had become shorter than before. Although there were no signs of further destruction for the time being, Li Fei had still ordered the Chicken Snake People’s Army to block all roads leading to the mountain for the safety of the citizens.
However, tonight, she ascended to the summit alone, overlooking the brilliantly lit Linjiang City.
A few weeks ago, this had been a solid defensive line against the New Liberation Front, but now, looking around, the light bands of the city streets stretched over to the other side of the gray mountain ranges, reaching the dark horizon. All she saw before her was the territory under her control...
Before her eyes, the experiences of the past few months seemed like an old movie that had been showing for years, playing slowly across the deep black night sky.
Comrades as close as family were burned alive in a hotel by a traitor, years of exile, unsuccessful rebellions, house arrest... and then, the appearance of that young man... the establishment of the New Liberation Front, military supplies in the forest, the collapsed God Mountain, and the many battles that followed...
From the beginning, she understood that the internal wars in Chicken Snake Country over the years were never just internal issues.
"A ruler of a country..."
The seat in the President Mansion was like an instrument of torture, requiring immense courage to sit upon. At the same time, it was also sucking the lifeblood of its occupants until drained and devoured, only to start all over again.
Now, Li Fei had arrived at this position herself, but she knew she still had not attained true freedom.
Tiantai Pharmaceutical, Red Pharmaceutical, Sethiyan Federation, Yin Country...
They were the real players.
Her struggling motherland was torn by civil strife, its people killing each other, reduced to mere pieces on a board.
She wanted to truly normalize Chicken Snake Country, and some sacrifices were necessary... Red Pharmaceutical would not be better than Tiantai Pharmaceutical, on the contrary, it could be worse, but they could help this small country, help her fragile troupe through a period of desperate development...
And to gain real freedom, Chicken Snake Country must have its own superpower special forces...
That woman from Tiantai thought she had made a move in the game, but she merely presented Li Fei with a gift.
The "dead beast" was sealed in a place under her control.
The transport team did not deliver it to the designated location, and when Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s convoy came to receive the goods, Li Fei ordered that they all be shot dead...
They were illegal entrants, greatly outgunned by the Chicken Snake People’s Army, and with Li Fei loudly declaring a long-term cooperation with Red Pharmaceutical, Tiantai Pharmaceutical could only swallow their losses in silence.
After all, it was something that had fallen within the borders of Chicken Snake Country, belonging to Chicken Snake Country.
No one could take it away.
They now possessed the Heavenly Falling Objects, but still lacked the technology to manufacture Black Medicine and the antidote... and needed enough people to experiment with...
The dirty part, Red Pharmaceutical would complete for her.
No, she felt no guilt... after all, those major countries with their numerous superpower special forces had come this way too...
The toughest decisions required individuals with strong willpower to make a determination, and the future of this country could only depend on her.
She had to make every move count.
And before Chicken Snake Country’s own superpowered soldiers emerged...
Li Fei pulled out her phone, looking at the string of phone numbers in the text message from her trusted confidante.
"Wei Tianyang... I must have you..."
That young man... with his own power, he could annihilate most of the conservative faction’s regular army!
After weeks of investigation and intelligence gathering, Li Fei had gotten to know everything about Wei Tianyang.
He had no nationality, lost his mother a year ago, and was the sole survivor of an unknown Tiantai Pharmaceutical project... or rather, the only success story.
Most importantly, he belonged to no one.
The Shadow House where he resided was merely a black glove under the shelter of Red Pharmaceutical and the Sethiyan Federation, a trial balloon.
Moreover, it was clear that Red Pharmaceutical had already realized that the truly valuable thing was Wei Tianyang, and they had grown dissatisfied with the rest of the members.
From Li Fei’s standpoint, she did not wish her country to harbor such an uncontrolled and useless group of half-finished products.
She had to do something to completely disillusion Wei Tianyang with the Shadow House so that she could keep him under her command.
Li Fei was even willing to become Wei Tianyang’s stepmother, much like Du Yan’s relationship with her. She was willing to nurture Wei Tianyang to adulthood, to become the future Military Leader of Chicken Snake Country...
In the meantime, she had sent people to find out all there was to know about the person Moby Dick wanted vengeance upon.
Yaha... the nominal leader of the Shadow House.
Simply shooting off her hands was far from enough.
The rest of the Shadow House had to die.
One attack, to make Wei Tianyang lose everything once more, and to pin the blame for this assault on Red Pharmaceutical, after which she would appear at just the right moment.
Li Fei was calculating all this.
This was the future she envisioned for her motherland, the true freedom she longed to seize for her nation!
A few weeks earlier...
Under the cloak of night, a small transport plane took off secretly from Wuliang Airport in Chicken Snake Country, heading towards the border of Yin Country.
Lin Yanqing, dressed in plain black military attire with a bandage wrapped around her waist, sat next to the porthole with an IV drip hanging, gazing at the city lights flickering beneath the dense clouds.
Guo Kaichen’s body was placed in a black coffin at the rear end of the cabin, while the little girl with burns all over her body was settled in the plane’s medical bay.
Sitting opposite Lin Yanqing was a composed middle-aged man, about fifty, dressed in a fitting suit with temples already graying, possessing a square face exuding authority without anger.
"Comrade Guo Kaichen’s sacrifice, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself," the man said gently.
Lin Yanqing nodded.
Without further ado, the man shifted the conversation, "Tell me about the boy called Wei Tianyang. Is he the triangle from the Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s 091 project?"
"Yes, I saw the whole process of him taking action. He may be the first person in the world to have multiple superpowers. His hands can turn into claws, he can teleport, kick open the front of a heavy truck, and has an explosive temperament, ready to kill at the slightest disagreement..." Lin Yanqing said.
"But he saved you, didn’t he? What do you think his considerations were in extending a hand to you?" the man inquired.
"I believe that his upbringing might have lacked the necessary education, and at his age, having undergone corporate human experiments and experienced national turmoil... these factors led to his impulsive and violent behavior, but... there’s definitely a good part within him..." Lin Yanqing said.
"Hmm, aside from the United Council’s war observer Li Songyan, have you seen him closely interact with anyone else?" the man continued.
"He’s part of a small gang..." Lin Yanqing replied.
"The moles Red Pharmaceutical had inside, I know about them. They are not significant," the man stated.
"I believe he probably isn’t involved with any larger organization, at most he’s just bouncing between the two pharmaceutical companies," Lin Yanqing said.
The man nodded and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought for a moment.
"Minister...?" Lin Yanqing began to ask out of habit but then suddenly remembered her rank and immediately stopped herself.
The man smiled without saying a word, merely brewing his own thoughts.
One should not view Wei Tianyang merely as an experiment subject or a member of the Superpower Special Department; fundamentally, he is the result of the 091 project.
And the 091 project, controlled by Tiantai Pharmaceutical in Chicken Snake Country, was captured by international spy satellites from the moment it touched down.
It was the only humanoid among the tens of thousands of variously sized Heavenly Falling Objects.
For a long time, academic circles of all countries, apart from researching the military and medical applications of Heavenly Falling Objects, have been constantly exploring their origins.
These objects came in all shapes and sizes, insects, animals, plants... every imaginable form, as big as a tall building, as small as a car, but never human.
was the only humanoid Heavenly Falling Object.
All countries were watching.
The backers of Tiantai Pharmaceutical were not just one country, but a coalition of Western nations, which is why they were able to snatch the 091 project in plain sight.
Yin Country had not been able to intervene before.
But the experiments of Tiantai Pharmaceutical were not progressing well, giving the observers a time window.
Now, the humanoid object had vanished.
Only the 16-year-old boy remained.
He himself probably didn’t even know...
All the spy satellites in heaven, 150 kilometers above, were watching him.
"Minister... that girl. She has lost her parents, and I want to adopt her."
Seeing the man in deep contemplation with his eyes closed, Lin Yanqing mustered the courage to speak.
Without opening his eyes and after a few seconds of silence, the man simply said, "Alright."
Lin Yanqing’s face lit up with joy... this meant that the organization had given the green light, and the little girl would henceforth have Yin Country nationality.
"But she must stay in the army," the man added.
Lin Yanqing let out a soft acknowledgment.
The plane, gleaming in the moon’s glow, cast its shadow upon the sea of clouds.
On the land of Shen Zhou, the city lights were dazzling. At a thousand meters high, a vast array of pavilions and towers floated, with the striped projections from the business district reaching towards the sky like swords, and in the mist, colossal dragons weaved through.
Lin Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
She was finally home.
