Chapter 173: Chapter 171 Reconciliation After Death

The brightly lit building was too glaring on this night.

Wei Tianyang sneakily moved through the darkness, spotting some soldiers talking outside, laughing heartily as they discussed the war in Western language and Yixu dialect, talking about their bravery when they were alive...

Some soldiers noticed him, but they didn’t come over to stop or greet him, treating him like a piece of paper blown by the wind.

Wei Tianyang approached the building, now a ruin from bombardment, with its west side wall collapsed and the top floor half-blocked by cement and rocks, but some rooms and stairs were still accessible.

At the entrance of this ruined building, sitting within the dark shadow, was a young soldier. Wei Tianyang stopped on the steps, sizing him up for a moment.

The young soldier spoke, "Can you see me?"

Wei Tianyang hummed a sound.

"Which side’s mercenary are you?" the young soldier asked again.

"I’m from the United Council," Wei Tianyang answered, seeing no need to lie to a dead person.

"What are you doing here? The matters of the borderland are none of your business," the soldier asked.

His voice was juvenile, but it carried a tone of arrogance.

Wei Tianyang slightly bent over, reached his right hand into the shadow, grabbed the young soldier’s ammunition belt, and yanked him out of the darkness.

Under the moonlight, the young soldier’s head was half gone, beneath his bulletproof vest were blue sportswear and black sports pants.

The young soldier was somewhat panicked, grabbing Wei Tianyang’s wrist, and said, "You! How can you still touch me?! Aren’t you afraid of me?!"

Wei Tianyang’s eyes turned red, he chuckled, "Why should I be afraid of a dead person?"

The young man didn’t dare to make a sound, just staring straight at him.

"Which side are you from? Your gear doesn’t look like it’s from Yixu," Wei Tianyang said.

"I’m from Azaha," the young soldier replied.

"How old?" Wei Tianyang asked again.

"16," the young soldier replied.

"Where are your adults?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I am an adult!" the young soldier asserted bravely.

Wei Tianyang smiled and let him go.

Inside the corridor, candlelight flickered. He heard people singing, talking, and others drinking and brawling, much like a bar.

"How long have you been dead?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I... died six months ago," the young soldier replied.

"What about the people inside?" Wei Tianyang asked again.

"They’re from all different times. After death, they come here..." the young soldier answered.

"You seem quite happy. Do you know what becomes of you after death?" Wei Tianyang asked.

The young soldier laughed, "Dead? No, we have transcended. We’ve attained the eternal bliss promised by Lord Rada Gan. We’re in paradise right now."

Wei Tianyang snorted. He still remembered the containment station that Tiantai Pharmaceutical had set up in the mountains, where the Medicine People who died, for some unknown reason, eventually became things without consciousness and unable to move on their own.

"Niva? Who are you talking to?"

A rough male voice echoed through the corridor, and Wei Tianyang saw a large figure blocking the candlelight, limping towards them.

"Who is this person? A newcomer?" the man asked.

"No... Uncle Pan Jie, he’s... alive," Niva said.

Pan Jie froze in place, not knowing what to do for a moment. He lifted the DRH rifle hanging on his chest, only to find that there was no magazine inserted.

"It’s clear that you are quite comfortable here, where weapons have become meaningless to you, right?" Wei Tianyang said.

"Damn... how can you see us? Are you from the Superpower Special Department?" Pan Jie cautiously asked.

"Sort of," Wei Tianyang replied.

"Niva, come here," Pan Jie gestured to Niva.

"He’s already an adult," Wei Tianyang said with a smile.

"Aren’t you afraid of us?" Pan Jie asked the same question.

Wei Tianyang walked into the building, causing Pan Jie to retreat a few steps.

"Living people don’t need to fear the dead; life and death have no boundaries. To me, you are no different from anyone else, perhaps even safer," Wei Tianyang spread his hands and said.

"What do you want?" Pan Jie asked.

"I am sent by the United Council, looking for a nuclear bomb," Wei Tianyang replied.

"I died a year ago, I don’t know about any nuclear bomb here," Pan Jie said.

Wei Tianyang smiled and said, "There must be some freshly dead people here, right? Take me for a tour, I won’t do anything inappropriate to you."

"This is our paradise; you shouldn’t stay," Niva said at this moment.

"I’ll leave once I get the answers I want," Wei Tianyang replied.

Pan Jie realized that Wei Tianyang wouldn’t leave until he achieved his goal, so he could only nod and made a gesture, signaling him to follow.

He then followed these two soldiers up the stairs.

The corridor was more spacious than anticipated. This Western Alliance style architecture could also be seen in Chicken Snake Country, although Wei Tianyang had never entered before.

After climbing the stairs, rooms on both sides of the hallway appeared before his eyes. The dim candlelight was nevertheless sufficient to illuminate every corner, with many dead soldiers gathering here, leaning against the walls, sitting on steps, drinking and talking.

Using the candlelight, Wei Tianyang could clearly see the equipment on Pan Jie, a grey uniform with a different type of bulletproof vest than Niva’s, and a helmet tied around his waist, standard issue gear from Yixu.

Inside this building, he also saw that these dead soldiers came from both sides of the conflict, Azaha soldiers wearing civilian clothes with a light bulletproof vest and a green helmet on top, while Yixu wore uniform grey uniforms with khaki helmets.

When Wei Tianyang walked in, several soldiers gazed at him.

"You are Yixu’s soldier; how come you are so close with Azaha’s soldiers?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"There’s no Yixu or Azaha here. Only the chosen," Pan Jie turned and replied.

"Right, this is the land of eternal happiness. Our existence, it signifies that everything from scripture is true, and we are the chosen people. Thus, there is no reason to continue fighting," Niva said.

"By that logic, the land of eternal happiness seems quite small, just this little area?" Wei Tianyang asked with a smile.

"No, it’s not like that," Pan Jie explained. "Some people only stop here briefly and then leave. We voluntarily stay here as Observers and guides, providing guidance to those who qualify."

"So, this is also some sort of reconciliation, right? Rada Gan treats you well," Wei Tianyang said.

The three went up and down stairs, bypassing collapsed, blocked areas, and arrived at a somewhat more spacious part of the building.

This place must have been rooms, but after collapsing, the walls fell, and several rooms were consequently connected. Wei Tianyang saw a group gathered here, listening to a bearded old soldier instructing.

"Death is just the beginning; we’ve come to the borderland now. This is the land promised by Rada Gan, from where we’re entrusted with a new mission..." The bearded old soldier sat on a wooden table, his arms outstretched, resembling the pose of a Rada Gan statue.

He stopped his teachings when he saw Wei Tianyang enter.

"A newcomer?" the bearded old soldier looked at Pan Jie.

Pan Jie shook his head and said, "No, he’s alive... and can see us."
