I Am Extraordinary Alone

Chapter 163: Chapter 161: New Partner

The next morning.

A pilot dispatched by Helena Mina came to Wei Tianyang’s villa and took him to the United Council building by helicopter.

Wei Tianyang was led to the mission briefing room.

Helena Mina was not there; instead, the head of the Army department, a very serious and old-fashioned white-haired old man, took her place.

Apart from him, there was a guy with a buzz cut in the briefing room, wearing dark green short sleeves and camouflage pants. He had arrived earlier than Wei Tianyang and was sitting in the front row, earnestly watching the projection.

Upon seeing Wei Tianyang enter, the head of the Army department nodded to him, and the buzz-cut guy also curiously looked back at him.

"Hello, I am the General Commander of the United Council Army system, Shepherd," Shepherd said in a steady voice.

"My name is Wei Tianyang," Wei Tianyang replied with a nod.

"I’m Du Ming. I served in the special forces of the Ruan Nan Third Corps for 4 years... Ah... you’re quite young," Du Ming said with a smile, extending his hand to Wei Tianyang.

Wei Tianyang shook hands with him and asked, "Is there a problem with being young?"

"I thought my partner would be someone with more experience... After all, General Shepherd said this is a high-risk mission," Du Ming said.

Wei Tianyang smiled and didn’t reply. The man from Ruan Nan had dark skin and was quite handsome, towering a full head above Wei Tianyang. His cheeks were lean like knife blades, and his tall figure was not skinny, as the muscles bulging on his arms and chest proved high-level training and robust physique.

However, he had a somewhat rascally air about him, too frivolous and lacking the steadiness of a military man.

"I didn’t mean anything by it... Don’t be mad," Du Ming hastily added with an appeasing smile, seeing that Wei Tianyang did not speak.

"I’m not that petty," Wei Tianyang replied with a smile.

The two seated themselves on plastic chairs, and Shepherd said, "You two need to get along well. This mission is extremely urgent; we only have 4 days, and there’s no time for you to adjust to each other."

"General Shepherd, I have something to say," Du Ming said.

"Go ahead, don’t be so formal," Shepherd replied.

"You said we only have 4 days, just the two of us? The area of Azaha and Yixu combined is not small..." Du Ming said.

Then, he elbowed Wei Tianyang and asked, "Do you know how big Azaha and Yixu are?"

Wei Tianyang pouted; he had looked it up on the computer the night before.

On the digital map, if Chicken Snake Country was the size of a palm, then Yixu was just about twice as big, and Azaha was one and a half times the size of Chicken Snake Country.

Both countries had long and narrow shapes on the western side adjoining the Earth Sea. Yixu was at least bordered by other states in Earth Sea Middle State to the north and east.

But Azaha was in a worse situation, surrounded by continuous mountains to the southeast, bordered by the Earth Sea in the west, and adjacent to Yixu to the north, practically encircled on all sides. Humanitarian aid from the United Council had to pass through Yixu to get into Azaha.

And the Yixu people claim that Azaha is inhabited by demons, not humans, so they do not allow the United Council’s rescue teams to pass through.

"...It’s too large; we two can’t possibly find that nuclear bomb in 4 days, not to mention the restrictions the Yixu side will place on us. Once we enter, they will monitor us and might even limit our movement," Du Ming said, spreading his hands.

Shepherd nodded and said, "I know it’s difficult. A qualified soldier will judge the feasibility of a mission, and I’m very clear on that point."

"So, how can we complete this mission? Is there any additional support?" Du Ming asked.

"You don’t need to worry about that. What you need to do is cooperate with the Yixu officials in various checks and then cover for Wei Tianyang. Keep the Yixu personnel occupied while he’s away. The rest is up to him," Shepherd said.

"Uh... him?" Du Ming looked at Wei Tianyang, puzzled.

"Yes, he is also part of the secrecy. Du Ming, everything about this mission, including all that you see and hear about Wei Tianyang, must be kept confidential," Shepherd said.

After taking a serious look at Wei Tianyang again, Du Ming stood up, saluted Shepherd, and said, "Yes, Sir!"

"Do we have additional support? Equipment, personnel, surveillance... stuff like that?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Shepherd nodded and replied, "Sethiyan’s PMC Shadow Company will provide you with an AC190 airship for support, and two surveillance drones are on standby. You may call them on your satellite encrypted frequency, but remember... choose your targets cautiously. Neither Sethiyan nor the United Council want to be drawn into this heated battle."

"What about the peacekeeping forces? How can they assist us?" Du Ming asked again.

"They can’t help for the moment. Currently, two infantry squads are on standby at the border of Yixu; they cannot enter Yixu," Shepherd answered.

"Weapons?" inquired Wei Tianyang.

"We can’t provide you with weapons. Yixu would not allow armed men inside their borders, and remember... the conflict zone is a meat grinder; no matter who you are, there’s a risk of getting shot in the conflict zone, and to enter Azaha you must cross that zone. If necessary..." Shepherd said.

He pressed a button on the remote control, and the projection zoomed in, revealing the conflict zone, with three cities circled in red on the map.

"Crossing the conflict zone shouldn’t be a problem for you. We have made an assessment, and currently, the greatest uncertainty is the man known as ’a god who stepped out of the Yixu Holy Scripture’... he’s still active in Azaha, and we don’t know if he will hinder your actions," Shepherd said.

"Essentially, he’s a superpower special forces; do you know what his superpower is?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Not clear for now; we don’t even know where his powers come from. The investigation continues, but there are constant obstructions. Anyway, if you encounter him and it’s possible, capture him alive and bring him back. Otherwise, just kill him," Shepherd said.

"This mission sounds like it’s not just about finding a nuke anymore. Do I still have to deal with him?" Wei Tianyang shook his head.

If he gets in your way, of course, the choice is yours. I believe that after the nuclear threat is neutralized, the Sethiyan Federation will deal with him," Shepherd said.

Wei Tianyang was noncommittal. The United Council people were still unaware of Steijie’s private request; Spencer was still in Yixu, and that Heavenly Falling Object that washed ashore might very well be the source of this god’s power.

Things were becoming complicated.

Wei Tianyang spread his hands and said, "I have no more questions."

"Kid, you’ve got quite the background. Do you think you can complete this mission?" Du Ming asked.

"Maybe. 4 days is indeed a bit short for what I have to do," Wei Tianyang said.

He had a lot to do.

After landing, he planned to meet the President of Yixu first.

Would the war continue if he disappeared?
