Chapter 77: Chapter 76 Military Observer
Wei Tianyang was enraged by the man’s behavior. Although it was none of his business, what was being said was too much, and even if they were refugees, they shouldn’t be allowed to smash and grab things, right?
He was just about to stand up when Kacha grabbed his arm and whispered, "Let’s not get involved."
"It’s too much!" Wei Tianyang shouted in anger.
"These things happen a lot... after all, we are at war," Kacha advised.
"So what if we’re at war? That’s no excuse for looting! And besides, the refugee camp is nearby!" Wei Tianyang said.
"Ishmael... those refugees also need to survive, and after this civil war, they probably don’t want to trust any official organization anymore," Kacha explained.
"Without rules, there is no order, and without order... we can only live forever in chaos... This is wrong, Kacha," Wei Tianyang’s eyes emitted a red glow.
Kacha realized that Wei Tianyang was getting angry again, and the consequences of his anger were severe. Kacha quickly pulled out a neutralizer from his pocket and handed it to Wei Tianyang.
"I don’t need this... I have never needed this. What calms me down is not this..." Wei Tianyang shook his head.
As he stood up, the group of refugees had just overturned a table, and the few diners at the stall were scared away. The cooked food rolled into the dust, but the people in the refugee line picked it up and stuffed it into their mouths.
Kacha wanted to step forward to stop Wei Tianyang but was a step too late; Wei Tianyang had already squeezed into the crowd.
For a moment, he thought about using his superpower on Wei Tianyang, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed the idea. He felt in his heart that for any reason, restraining Wei Tianyang would be a declaration of war.
The refugees shouted, "We want to eat!" while picking up stools to smash the windows. Some even tried to knock over the gas canisters.
"You are going too far! The refugee camp is right there; why are you smashing our stall? We live a hard life too!" The old shop owner cried out as his son, outnumbered, was pushed to the ground by a group of refugees.
Some began to pull at a man’s wife’s clothes, and although they didn’t speak, their intentions were clear.
"Stop it, all of you!" Wei Tianyang roared in the crowd.
This somewhat childish roar made the refugees stop, not out of fear, but out of curiosity.
Wei Tianyang stood on the steps of the shop and demanded loudly, "The refugee camp is right there! There’s enough food to eat! Why do you have to smash people’s stalls?!"
"Refugee camp? A place to feed pigs, and still being managed, as if it’s anyone else’s business to tell us what to do in our own country! And who the hell are you? Shouting at me here?!" shouted the leader of the refugees.
Without another word, he swung a plastic stool towards Wei Tianyang, and then, everyone surged forward.
Wei Tianyang dodged the stool, furious beyond control, and charged towards them...
When the United Council’s troops arrived, the scene was already a mess.
Wei Tianyang sat on the steps, gazing bewilderingly at his blood-stained hands, silent, with a part of his heart feeling consoled. He was very calm, knowing that he had done the right thing.
The barbecue stall owner and his family were pale-faced, hiding inside the shop, not daring to come out, and could only observe Wei Tianyang’s silhouette; while dozens of United Council’s peacekeeping soldiers pointed their guns at him with extremely stern expressions.
All the shops on the street were forced to close down, and no one dared to approach Wei Tianyang, because, in the light of the street lamps, he seemed to smile.
Kacha was at a distance from Wei Tianyang at that time, so he was treated as a civilian by the peacekeeping soldiers, isolated outside the cordon.
He hurriedly called Yaha but got a busy signal, so he had to call Starbucks instead and asked her to go inform Yaha.
After all the commotion, when he looked up again, he saw the peacekeeping forces surrounding Wei Tianyang had all lowered their guns, and Kacha hurriedly pushed forward to get a clearer look but was pushed away by the soldiers.
Wei Tianyang unconsciously smiled, his shadow under the street lamp grew into a massive blob, with a horn growing on its head and two pairs of insect wings stretching out from his back.
"Is it worth it? They are all refugees. Though I don’t really care about such scum either," Li Bin leaned in the doorway, smoking a cigarette and spoke indifferently.
"I think I’ve found it, Li Bin, a greater meaning... not just simple justice. Yaha was right, kindness comes at a price, and kindness without a price only fosters evil in people’s hearts. Fairness and order are more practical. I will not tolerate bullying of the weak happening before my eyes... Li Bin, I’ve found it, I’ve found it... hehe..." he mumbled to himself.
"We’ve found it too," Li Bin said.
Wei Tianyang looked up at Li Bin.
"That Hans you’re talking about," Li Bin added.
"You probably haven’t seen him," Wei Tianyang said.
"If you’ve seen him, so have we. He’s on his way to a place you’re familiar with now, and he might arrive there tomorrow morning," Li Bin said.
"A place I’m familiar with...?" Wei Tianyang pondered.
Li Bin patted his shoulder and said, "The place that left six holes in your back."
Wei Tianyang raised his head and said, "I understand."
"How do you plan to kill him? Take my word for it, too quick and it won’t be satisfying," Li Bin said.
Wei Tianyang replied with a heavy tone, "I’ll take my time."
Li Bin nodded and vanished into the light of the streetlamp. Wei Tianyang came back to his senses and found a man in camouflage fatigues standing in front of him.
He was about 1.9 meters tall, an East Continent person with a blue badge on his chest and an automatic rifle slung on his back.
The man had witnessed the conversation between Wei Tianyang and Li Bin. However, to him, it seemed Wei Tianyang was talking to himself.
"Do you mind if we talk alone?" the man said solemnly.
"Who are you?" asked Wei Tianyang.
The man gave a slight nod and sent a look his way, whispering, "If you want to put an end to this matter, follow me."
Wei Tianyang glanced around. The peacekeeping forces had him surrounded, but he wasn’t afraid to act if necessary.
However, it would be pointless.
So, he stood up, following the man, stepping over intestines and severed limbs scattered on the ground, and left the street.
They arrived at the refugee camp. Either the man’s military rank or his identity was quite special; none of the soldiers stopped him, nor did they make things difficult for the bloodied Wei Tianyang.
This was his first time entering the refugee camp. Following the man through the crowded maze of makeshift housing, he saw many civilians living in cramped quarters under 5 square meters in size. Despite the confinement, they seemed secure, and their supplies were plentiful.
They walked all the way to the back, where they sat down in an area resembling a cafeteria. At the same time, the man gestured to the trailing soldiers, and they withdrew.
This man had access to the refugee camp, and even the peacekeeping troops listened to him. Wei Tianyang guessed that he might be either a high-ranking peacekeeping officer or a member of the Superpower Special Department from Yin Country.
"My name is Li Songyan. I’m a military observer sent by the United Council. You’re Wei Tianyang, right?" said Li Songyan.
"How do you know my name?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"We know about Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s activities in Chicken Snake Country, so we also have a list of their Medicine People," Li Songyan confessed.
"You know? Since when?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"About six months ago, which was... during the time you were technically dead. We had planned..." Li Songyan started, then shook his head.
"You were planning to come save us but were too late, right?" Wei Tianyang said.
Li Songyan was startled, then burst into laughter, shaking his head as he chuckled, "No, no, no... We had hoped to negotiate with Tiantai Pharmaceutical earlier to get information about the Heavenly Falling Objects locally, but we didn’t expect the civil war to break out so soon."
Wei Tianyang’s brows furrowed in anger. "What do you mean, ’negotiate with them’?"
"Calm down. I know what they did to you and the ordeal you’ve faced, but Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s official business operations in Chicken Snake Country are legal and compliant," Li Songyan said.
"... do you know how many people they’ve killed? Do you have any idea how many refugees they’ve bought from local warlords to turn into Medicine People?!" Wei Tianyang shouted angrily.
"Without concrete evidence, we can’t initiate legal proceedings to investigate," Li Songyan said, spreading his hands.
"I am the evidence!" Wei Tianyang shouted.
"That’s also why I’m looking for you. You can serve as a witness, but that alone isn’t enough. To take down a pharmaceutical company, you need to gather enough compelling evidence," Li Songyan said.
"An ordinary person on the street kills someone, and a peace officer catches him right away, but a pharmaceutical company kills over a thousand people, and it suddenly requires ’enough’ evidence to begin legal proceedings!" Wei Tianyang shouted angrily.
"I just heard you say you wanted order; this is order," Li Songyan said.
"You missed a word, fairness; I want fairness too!" Wei Tianyang replied.
"You’re still a child, Wei Tianyang. The world is... very complicated. You’re a key witness now, a crucial component to legally take down Tiantai Pharmaceutical. We can cover up the street murder for you. After all, war is happening here, and a few dozen deaths are common," Li Songyan said.
"They deserved to die," Wei Tianyang stated.
"Whether a man deserves to die is not for you to imagine but for a judge to decide. Moreover, Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s scale is beyond your imagination; their presence in Chicken Snake Country is just the tip of the iceberg," Li Songyan stood up, gesturing outward as he spoke.
He looked at Wei Tianyang again, "Stay here for now. I’ll register you as a refugee. Once I’ve finished my work and gathered enough evidence, if we are lucky, we can take legal action through the United Council. You’ll need to testify in court then."
With that, he walked away briskly.
"Hey! I—" Wei Tianyang was momentarily stunned, but Li Songyan had already disappeared around the corner.
