Chapter 89: Chapter 88 I Just Want Her Hand

Wei Tianyang remained noncommittal but sensed that Yaha had suddenly become very strange.

He sighed and said, "Revenge is not endless."

Yaha chuckled lightly, as if she had received her answer, and slowly sat back down.

He understood that what Yaha yearned for was not revenge but greater ambition; revenge was merely the totem that united every one of the dozens of people in the Black House.

Wei Tianyang couldn’t possibly persuade Yaha to relinquish her power, which was somewhat different from his own... He couldn’t quite explain what was happening to him; he didn’t need an antidote to suppress the toxins in his spinal cord and yet was able to possess multiple superpowers, but these people couldn’t.

The greater significance he sought had no intersection with Yaha’s future.

Before leaving Yaha’s room, Wei Tianyang still informed her of Ruan Yu’s intelligence, and what she decided to do next was up to Yaha.

For the next five days, Wei Tianyang had nothing to do, and Yaha never sought him out again.

During the day, he and Kacha would go out, reading and learning characters at a Starbucks coffee shop, and at night, he learned about the outside situation through Du Yan and Li Bin.

The day after Linjiang City fell, Li Fei used Linjiang TV Station to address all the citizens of Chicken Snake Country.

Tun Yun had been decapitated, and the conservative faction had lost over two-thirds of their possessions in the landslide at Six-faced God Mountain; Bai Licheng had become a refugee overseas, signaling the complete downfall of the conservative faction.

Now, the only enemy left for the New Liberation Front was the radical faction to the north.

From now on, the war had turned personal, and Li Fei’s revenge had begun.

The United Council’s peacekeeping forces had started withdrawing from Kongse back to their own country, and the southern part of Chicken Snake Country was now liberated, with Li Fei’s troops officially taking charge of the region.

However, would the Sethiyan Federation quietly accept their lost opportunity to project influence over Chicken Snake Country, due to the conservative faction’s defeat?

After the peacekeeping forces began their withdrawal, the medical teams from the refugee camps followed suit. Lin Yanqing and Guo Kaichen could no longer use their medical team identities as cover, and they hadn’t managed to obtain a single piece of intelligence about the Heavenly Falling Objects from Tiantai Pharmaceutical, which caused them some trouble.

But more than that, what Lin Yanqing cared about was the girl in the sterile tent who suffered from extensive burns.

Lin Yanqing couldn’t remember which young man had brought her there; on that day, she had only glanced briefly at the girl, and the young man had left without leaving his name.

The good news was that the girl had recently awakened. Although she still looked unwell, her vocal cords hadn’ been damaged, and she could engage in simple and brief communication.

"What’s your name?" Lin Yanqing asked through the transparent window of the tent, conversing with the girl over the wireless network.

"My... name... is Qianqian..." the girl said weakly.

"Qianqian, when you get a bit better, you can go home," Lin Yanqing said.

But Qianqian’s tears fell, and she slowly said, "I only had my dad, and he was burned to death..."

"Do you have any other relatives?" Lin Yanqing asked with a pained expression.

"No... My mom, grandpa, brother, and aunt’s family... all killed by a bomb..." Qianqian said.

Lin Yanqing held her chest, her eyes reddening.

This girl had nothing left...

What would she do after being transferred to a local hospital?

Even if the civil war was nearly over, with her extensive burns, it was doubtful that anyone would want to adopt her. Furthermore, with Chicken Snake Country’s weak national power and the recent war, there would be no basic social security system in place. Burns of her severity were likely to cause various complications, and she would become weaker...

Lin Yanqing made a silent decision.

At that moment, Guo Kaichen happened to pass by and reminded her, "Sister Lin, we don’t have much time."

Lin Yanqing sighed. What was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission had turned into four months of hiding without any desired results.

Somehow, due to strange coincidences, the Zero Nine One Reception Station was first destroyed, then another station was completely emptied by Red Pharmaceutical.

They had only a few weeks left to investigate the last reception station.

Lin Yanqing glanced at the tent and said, "I’ll go with you."

Meanwhile, in Wuliang City, several kilometers away.

At around 3 p.m., Moby Dick’s SUV slowly stopped beneath a large tree on the outskirts of the city.

Li Fei leaned against the tree trunk, looked around, then quickly walked to the car window.

"You’re punctual," Moby Dick said, rolling down the window.

"Cut to the chase, who’s our target?" Li Fei asked.

"I heard the New Liberation Front has the best snipers, didn’t lie to me, did you?" Moby Dick asked.

"I’ve got a dozen sharpshooters under me; within 1,000 meters, they hit whatever they aim at," Li Fei said.

"You’ll probably only have one chance, so your men better be as accurate as you boast," Moby Dick said with a smile.

"Speaking of which... doesn’t Red Pharmaceutical always support the radicals? Why suddenly come to us?" Li Fei said with a light laugh.

"Partners can be changed at will, we all need to judge the situation. The radicals are a lost cause, and after you take control, the newly established government will also need financial support. We are just meeting each other’s needs. This trivial, insignificant task is only a preview of our close cooperation in the future," Moby Dick smiled.

"Enough talk, who’s the target?" Li Fei said.

Moby Dick handed out a menu.

Li Fei took it and flipped through it, finding a photo sandwiched inside.

It was a white-haired woman.

After confirming the appearance of the target, Li Fei simply asked, "Time and place?"

"No hurry, we have time, but I can tell you the sniping position first, you can take this position... then, you’ll be just about within 900 meters to see a window... the target usually sits there. We will provide the weapon, it’s the bolt-action sniper rifle Locus, standard issue for the special forces of Yin City," Moby Dick said.

"Locus? That’s a powerful piece, all right, she’s as good as dead!" Li Fei laughed.

"No, no, no~ you misunderstand me. That’s also the difficulty of this task," Moby Dick said slowly and deliberately.

Li Fei didn’t understand.

"I don’t want to kill her, but... I need you to find an angle, a single bullet, to break both her hands," Moby Dick said.

"... Hands? Is there something special about her hands? A headshot would be more effective. A 7.62mm bullet hitting any part of the body is enough to paralyze the target. How about the shoulder?" Li Fei said.

"No, it has to be the hands. What I want to take from her is her future, which is more important than her damn life. I only want her hands. As for the rest of her deformed body, let her keep it... and I don’t give a damn about her. I’m only hurting her to take revenge on someone else," Moby Dick said.

"Whatever, to make a single bullet pierce through both hands isn’t hard, but you need to create the right conditions. Like making the target hold something up with both hands, and it can’t be too thick... like, say, her holding a glass statue or something," Li Fei said, frowning.

"I’ll find a way to create the conditions; the rest is up to us to handle. I just need your guy to pull the trigger," Moby Dick said.

"No problem, contact me through an encrypted channel, and I’ll send my people to the designated spot when it’s time," Li Fei said.

Moby Dick smiled and nodded, then the car window rolled up.

The car slowly drove off, and Li Fei watched it leave. Taking a deep breath, she also turned and walked toward her jeep.
