Chapter 487: Chapter 485: Hot Land Lover
Heisai State was hot like a nine-layer lava hell. The rising heat distorted the distant horizon as Leng Kai drove an off-road vehicle along the boundless desert highway of Etolia. Wang Mingxue sat in the passenger seat, looking at the map on her tablet.
Before the Black Medicine Search Team of the council officially launched a large-scale military operation on the ground, a special task force had entered Etolia to lie low and carry out reconnaissance and surveillance operations.
This mission was related to Wei Tianyang’s Pei Guode Hotel, a particularly thorny issue. The six members of the task force needed to figure out whether Johnny was inside, and if he was, they would need to keep him under close surveillance.
The equatorial temperature soared to 42° (degrees) while the ground temperature was much higher than that. Only military-grade electric vehicles could operate in these temperatures, but to reduce the battery pack’s burden and control the vehicle’s overall temperature, Leng Kai couldn’t turn on the air conditioning.
He rolled down the windows, wearing only a beige tank top and sunglasses to prevent the dazzling sun from blinding him. The wind poured into the cabin, while his sweat cascaded down in buckets, noisily trying to burst out of his sweat glands and skin, wetting the leather seats only for them to be dried and then soaked again.
Wang Mingxue sat in the passenger seat, her head donned with a desert camouflage cap, her ponytail sticking out the back. She wore only a black bra on top and ultra-short denim shorts below. Her athletic and voluptuous body was layered in slick sweat, with droplets cascading down the curves of her arms and abdomen, pooling around her navel.
She simply took off her boots and, while holding the tablet to check the map of Etolia, she couldn’t stop cursing the weather.
"This is really unbearable. The last time I went to Chicken Snake Country, I thought that tropical climate was already hot!" Wang Mingxue shouted.
"This is Heiside State! Damn it, sweat is pouring into my eyes," Leng Kai said.
"Just think about the ground troops when they come in... they’ll have to wear full combat gear and bulletproof vests..." Wang Mingxue said, shaking her head as she spoke.
The thought alone made her feel hot!
"Let’s talk about something cooler!" Leng Kai said, picking up the water bottle in front of the windshield and taking a big gulp.
"I looked at Pei Guode Hotel’s official page, and damn, who has the money to stay there? The cost for one night in the Presidential Suite is 1.5 million Langke?? Did I freaking misread the decimal point?" Wang Mingxue complained.
"When did the people of Heiside State become so wealthy?" Leng Kai exclaimed in surprise.
"In terms of economic level, Etolia is in a league of its own in Heiside State, actually comparable to a few countries in the Western Alliance," Wang Mingxue explained.
"But I still think the costs at Pei Guode Hotel are outrageous!" Leng Kai shook his head.
"However, when I tried to make a reservation on the official website, even with a deposit, you’ll have to wait in line until next April!" Wang Mingxue said.
Leng Kai was shocked, like a bolt from the blue. He slowed the car, turned his head to Wang Mingxue in horror, and exclaimed, "You paid a deposit??!!"
Wang Mingxue laughed, saying, "I just registered an account. Don’t worry, the annual salaries of both of us combined couldn’t cover the cost of one hour in the Pei Guode Presidential Suite."
"Damn, you scared me!" Leng Kai suddenly felt a lot cooler.
After confirming their relationship, he handed his salary card to Wang Mingxue. He knew Commander Lu was her father and she wasn’t short of money. She wasn’t lavish with her spending either, so he felt more at ease managing the money with her.
Seeing Leng Kai’s still shaken expression, Wang Mingxue patted his arm and said, "Stop scaring yourself. We should be more concerned about Wei Tianyang. If he’s inside and Johnny allies with him, what do we do?"
"Let’s look on the bright side. War orphans might get to stay for free in the most expensive hotel in the world. They’ll surely have air conditioning in there... I’m dying of heat..." Leng Kai said.
"Cut the crap! I’m really worried right now. If Johnny joins forces with Wei Tianyang, he would be aligning with a supremely powerful backer. Then, according to what Price said..." Wang Mingxue continued.
Nuclear bombs...
Nuke Pei Guode?
At the special forces’ secret meeting, that’s what Price suggested.
Officially, Wei Tianyang stood with the council and protected Chairman Helena Mina, but all signs indicated that their partnership was not solid. Moreover, in recent times, Helena Mina’s condition was obviously abnormal; the related news was sealed off, nobody knew the specifics, but it was easy to guess that it wasn’t good.
If Wei Tianyang hindered the mission, if he became an enemy...
He couldn’t be killed with bullets.
Price had a crazy suggestion, which was if Wei Tianyang was openly hostile and Johnny happened to be in the Pei Guode Hotel... then launch six nuclear missiles at the Pei Guode Hotel.
Why six?
Wei Tianyang, at the age of 20, had stopped one in Libitelli. Now he was 35, and stopping another would definitely be no problem.
Therefore, there had to be a continuous barrage.
Why not more?
Etolia’s Felda couldn’t withstand more; six nuclear missiles were enough to erase the city from the map four times over, any more would affect other cities.
Considering the inhumanity of this plan, Price merely mentioned it, and Commander Lu didn’t give the nod, but everyone had this expectation in mind: if Wei Tianyang turned hostile, nuclear missiles were the only way.
Sending the Trinity to attack him was just feeding him superpowers; he would kill them, absorb them, and then fly over for revenge.
"I hope we don’t have to deal with him," Leng Kai said.
"Me too, but if he gets in the way..." Wang Mingxue sighed.
"He’s a hero; I think he can tell right from wrong. He’s also saved me. If necessary, I’ll talk to him myself!" Leng Kai said.
Wang Mingxue chuckled, "Get real; you’re nobody... he won’t see you."
"I will go to him myself!" Leng Kai said.
"You’ll die on the way. As you’re going upstairs, he will suddenly appear in front of you, and without letting you speak, kill you," Wang Mingxue said.
"I’m a soldier; I must do something. You can’t expect me to just run away when I see him, can you?!" Leng Kai said.
"I just don’t want to cry over your body. If you’re going to see him, take me with you. If he’s going to kill you, he’ll have to kill me too," Wang Mingxue said with a smile.
"That’s some bloody romantic talk," Leng Kai said.
"I’m prepared, Leng Kai. I like this feeling of reckless abandon," Wang Mingxue said.
When did she fall in love with him?
Perhaps it was the moment he burst into the White House searching for her.
The sun was slowly moving behind their heads, and Wang Mingxue saw the shadow of the city appear on the horizon. To confirm it wasn’t a mirage, she pulled out her tactical binoculars to look, and finally confirmed, it was real.
