I Am Extraordinary Alone

Chapter 379: Chapter 377 Airdrop

Several days later.

Wei Tianyang had dealt with Lady Mo, and now, it was time to put an end to the affairs of the Lingxian Sect.

He needed to take a space elevator to the transit station between the International Space Station and the ground, then board a flight vehicle from there to head for the fortress that hovered within thunderclouds in the atmosphere.

But presently, global opinion was focused on him. In the United Council, the spokesperson from Yin Country was being incessantly questioned by West Soil and Heiside State nations, and moreover, the new President of Libitelli had prepared to submit a request to the international court, seeking to arrest Zhao Ling.

Steijie was currently occupied with preparations for the Sethiyan Federation’s 332nd founding anniversary celebration. He didn’t really want to make a big deal out of Wei Tianyang’s situation, but for the nation, it was an opportunity to coerce Yin Country. As the executive officer, he could only let his subordinates and the old politicians in the House of Representatives operate freely.

That afternoon, just after finishing a speech about the superpower threat on the lawn of the White House, Steijie returned to his office to find Wei Tianyang standing by the window, staring at the traffic beyond the fence.

"Wei?! It’s been a long time." Steijie closed the door and took out his phone to switch off all the office’s surveillance.

Wei Tianyang turned around and nodded slightly at him.

"Coffee or...?" Steijie walked quickly to a cabinet.

"No need, Steijie. I came today because I need a favor from you," said Wei Tianyang.

"What’s the matter? If it’s about Zhao Ling... that might be a bit difficult," Steijie said.

"Zhao Ling... She’s not ready yet. She hasn’t been able to do as much for the citizens without any worries, like you do..." Wei Tianyang mumbled.

"What do you want?" Steijie asked.

"Your nation has built a tower of a space elevator. The thing that troubles Zhao Ling is up there," Wei Tianyang said.

Hearing that it was for Zhao Ling’s sake, Steijie felt a bit uncomfortable, but quickly brushed that feeling aside.

Without Wei Tianyang, the Sethiyan Federation would never have banned guns and drugs.

"You want to take the elevator?" Steijie said.

Wei Tianyang nodded.

"You just dismantled Yin Country’s space station and indirectly caused the death of several astronauts. The Astronaut Association and NASA will certainly not agree to your request," Steijie said.

"You always find a way, right?" Wei Tianyang said.

"You can teleport, Wei. I just need to figure out how to get the elevator moving, and you could take the opportunity to go up," Steijie said.

He walked to his desk and turned out a stack of files.

"NASA sent a budget proposal for lunar exploration last month, which I didn’t approve because I knew their director’s coffee cups were as expensive as the army’s," Steijie said.

Holding the files, he paced back and forth, then said, "Maybe I can request a review, send a few staff members to take the space elevator as a formality, and you could blend in and get onboard."

Wei Tianyang nodded, "There’s one more problem. I need a flight vehicle that can fly in the atmosphere."

"An atmospheric flight vehicle??" Steijie was taken aback.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That’s really going to be difficult. Even the smallest one-man flight vehicles aren’t exactly small... I can’t hide it. Although I am the executive officer, I’m not the sole decision-maker of this nation, Wei."

Wei Tianyang understood his dilemma; the Sethiyan Federation was not an empire, and Steijie was limited, unable to act as capriciously as Zhao Ling.

After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea.

"Not a flight vehicle then. Is there something like... a glide wing, something one can carry in a backpack?" he suggested.

Once there, he could minimally transform his body surface to steel to counteract the icing problems at high altitudes, and then use strong airflow to carry himself to the aerial fortress of the Lingxian Sect.

But there was a chance of failure.

The air fortress wasn’t a stone’s throw from the transit station—sliding might not be enough to reach it. Based on the fragments he captured from Lady Mo’s memory, the height of the fortress should be between the stratosphere and the troposphere.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Steijie wondered.

"I’ve found the Lingxian Sect’s lair, I want to... take it down." Wei Tianyang said with a smile.

Steijie fell silent.

He knew what that meant. At this moment, he was incredibly envious of Zhao Ling.

"Maybe we don’t need to take the space elevator." Steijie said eagerly.

"Do you have a better idea?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Steijie closed the document and placed it on the table. He looked at Wei Tianyang, his eyes filled with an inexplicable sense of expectation.

"We have a fighter jet that can do battle in the outer skies... It was a project that was proven to be of not much use, but... perhaps it could help you out. It can deliver you to that airspace, and from there you can jump down yourself. From that height, I think you wouldn’t die from the fall, right?" He said with a chuckle.

"This doesn’t seem like your style. Aren’t you afraid of making enemies with those people?" Wei Tianyang said with a smile.

"I bet that after that day, not a single one of them will be left. So, who would hold a grudge against me?" Steijie said, laughing.

"What about their friends? The organization has been operating for nearly a thousand years, and they’ve already spread their agents across all countries," Wei Tianyang said.

"Without the nest, those people are mere ants. If you can exterminate the Lingxian Sect, then you can eliminate the Human Dawn too. This world doesn’t need such organizations," Steijie declared.

"You’re getting more radical by the day, Steijie. In the past, you didn’t even dare to utter their name," Wei Tianyang said.

"People change, Wei, just like you. You’re no longer that child who lost his mother and was filled with nothing but rage. I see a man who has the courage to put his thoughts into action. I envy you for that," Steijie admitted.

"Don’t envy me, Steijie, getting stabbed in the back is not a pleasant experience," Wei Tianyang said with a laugh.

The next day.

In the Binzhou Airspace, 82,000 meters above the ground.

This was already the mesosphere, where temperatures hovered near negative 60 degrees Celsius—a region not quite "sky" anymore, but closer to being "space" for humans.

The silver Lightning Eagle strategic aerospace bomber roared past, with two pilots in spacesuits heading towards a predetermined target.

Through the transparent glass canopy, the sky displayed magnificent colors. Black and blue met at the horizon, indistinguishable whether one was in space or on Earth.

The chief pilot saw the space elevator’s suspension cables on the left side of the airspace and reported through the radio, "We have reached the target airspace."

The Lightning Eagle reversed its body, exposing its silver belly to the boundless cosmos.

A small wingless flying machine was mounted underneath it.

"3, 2...1! Ignite!"

The flying machine was launched like a missile but followed a parabolic trajectory, soaring nearly a thousand meters upwards before beginning its descent.

The burner at the end of the flying machine ignited, with vents around it constantly adjusting its position, dragging a blue tail flame. On a slightly downward sloping orbit, it plunged toward an airspace at an altitude of 50,000 meters, continuously adjusting its flight path with the vents, pulling an arc in mid-air.

A fortress floating among the clouds gradually came into view, its upper half enveloped in a pale yellow shield. The fortress resembled the glass chamber that Moby Dick presented to Yaha.

Six black buildings, covered with red stripe windows, stood on a disc, and below the disc lay the enormous remnants of Heavenly Falling Objects.

Several beams of light shot towards the flying machine, grazing past its edge, with red flames erupting on the side of the vehicle, and an explosion occurred at the tail nozzle. Yet its speed allowed it to skim over the fortress using momentum.

Just as the flying machine flew over the fortress, its bottom scraped against the protective shield, and with a bang, it exploded. The black debris rolled down the curve of the shield, falling toward the blue planet.

The next second.

A dark giant descended from the heavens, delivering a punch to the pale yellow shield. From the point of contact at his fist, black cracks spread out.

Alarm bells rang throughout the entire fortress. The disciples of the Sect, dressed in their Taoist robes, all looked up to the sky. Dozens of entities comprised of three, hundreds of double triangles, and thousands of triangles realized their abilities had been completely silenced...

Within seconds, the shield shattered, and the fierce winds of the stratosphere swept through the fortress, tossing countless people into the sky.
