Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Two Things at Once

Two days later.

In the mountains of the northern border of Chicken Snake Country, adjacent to Yin Country.

Li Songyan lay at the edge of a makeshift hilltop, holding a high-powered telescope, monitoring the movement on the mountain road at the valley bottom.

This concrete road extended over 30 kilometers westward to Linjiang City and was a trade route built with the aid of Yin Country in 2075. It fell into disuse following the political changes in Chicken Snake Country.

On the road, the remnants of power storage belts for electric vehicles remained, although after the cessation of trade relations, the charging equipment was removed, leaving only occasional engineering holes along the sides of the road.

"See anything?"

The voice of Guo Kaichen came from behind him, with a water bottle in his hand.

A hundred meters away, on the not-so-large hilltop dirt slope, three khaki camouflage sleeping bags hung on the cliff wall like cicada chrysalises. For cover, an optical camouflage cloth was placed next to the sleeping bags, not only providing protective coloration but also being non-reflective and capable of blocking heat sources.

"Nothing yet," Li Songyan shook his head.

Guo Kaichen crouched beside him, gazing at the rolling mountains, his face revealing a look of perplexity.

"You should rest. You stayed up all of last night; I’ll take the night watch today," Li Songyan said.

"We’ve been here two days already. We don’t have much time left. The day after tomorrow, we need to leave with the medical team. I hope this isn’t a waste of time," Guo Kaichen said.

"Whether they have the support of the conservative faction or not, the Heavenly Falling Objects are important assets to them. They’ll definitely send someone to retrieve them. I don’t think they’d just leave it there to be taken by Red Pharmaceutical," Li Songyan said.

Guo Kaichen nodded. He, of course, knew this, but he felt that going directly to the last containment station of Tiantai Pharmaceutical would be more pragmatic—except that Li Songyan’s intelligence was too tempting.

He and Lin Yanqing had already wasted four months, with two containment stations having been picked clean by others. If they could bring a Heavenly Falling Object back to their country this time, they would at least have something to show for it.

But the waiting over these two days made him anxious, his patience nearly worn thin.

All three wore khaki camouflage uniforms. As the weather grew colder, they had also prepared three thick fleece-lined jackets.

In terms of weapons, the trio made no special preparations.

Li Songyan would not take action; his identity was that of a military observer from the United Council. All he needed was a video of the transfer of the Heavenly Falling Objects, which would allow him to link the illicit human experiments that Tiantai Pharmaceutical conducted in Chicken Snake Country.

Besides, he was just an ordinary man; his gun was of little use against the escort teams transporting the cargo.

As for Guo Kaichen and Lin Yanqing, they carried only Type 90 automatic rifles that were hidden in the countryside, weapons they occasionally reclaimed from burning dead official forces during reconnaissance, with not much ammo prepared.

After all, both were from the Superpower Special Department. Handling a small transport team, Guo Kaichen alone could settle things in 10 seconds.

This operation posed no danger for the three of them, but the dull and uncertain wait was causing restlessness.

Li Songyan was also anxious; he didn’t doubt Wei Tianyang was deceiving him, but he feared Wei Tianyang might have been deceived himself! He was also concerned about Tiantai Pharmaceutical possibly changing plans, a common occurrence in military operations.

He was well aware of Lin Yanqing and Guo Kaichen’s attitudes toward Wei Tianyang, so when mentioning the source of the clue, he simply said it was a tip-off from an informant of the New Liberation Front, which was quite normal for a military observer who moved around frequently and had contact with these people.

Lin Yanqing tied her jacket around her waist, her long hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a warm, tight-fitting sweater on her upper body, and had replaced her glasses with contact lenses. At the moment, she sat beside her sleeping bag, hugging her knees, her eyes shimmering with a golden light.

After a while, she suddenly stood up and said, "They’re coming."

Li Songyan turned around, surprised, "Oh? Really? Ah... how did you know?"

Guo Kaichen laughed, hands on hips, "She can see. Her superpower is called ’Heavenly Eye.’ She can possess any bird within a 10-kilometer radius."

Lin Yanqing exhaled with a sigh, "Xiao Chen! That’s a state secret!"

"Ah... right... Li Songyan, you mustn’t tell anyone, or I’ll kill you, haha," Guo Kaichen laughed.

Li Songyan shrugged with a smile, got up from the ground, and said, "Let’s get ready then. What’s the plan?"

"Kill them all, then take the Heavenly Falling Object and cross the border straight back home," Guo Kaichen said.

Lin Yanqing didn’t join in, her complexion poor. She turned and walked back to her sleeping bag, taking out two neutralizer syringes and injecting her neck.

Two injections were administered before she gradually recovered.

It was because of her surveillance ability that Lin Yanqing was able to stay hidden in the refugee camp without leaving her house, yet she could discern many things. But the downside of this ability was too significant...

When she inhabited birds, her eyes would not close, resulting in severe dry eye and myopia.

Moreover, birds have one more type of cone cell in their eyes than humans, including cone cells sensitive to ultraviolet light, meaning birds can see more colors and enjoy a richer visual experience.

Additionally, compared to humans, birds have a much wider field of vision. Most birds’ eyes are situated on the sides of their heads, giving them a broader range of vision.

For example, a pigeon’s field of vision can reach 270 degrees, and a sandpiper’s nearly covers 360 degrees, with virtually no blind spots, while human vision is only about 190 degrees.

And not only is an eagle’s field of view wide, but its vision is also astonishingly sharp, capable of clearly seeing rabbits running on the ground from high in the sky.

This caused Lin Yanqing to feel disoriented when switching back to her own perspective. She would find human vision both narrow and shortsighted... so she had no choice but to wear glasses.

Li Yansong wasn’t responsible for fighting and couldn’t film the two of them, so the three sat together, discussing how to coordinate their efforts.

They had to ensure Li Yansong captured enough footage to form evidence, which wouldn’t be difficult with the help of a high-powered telescope and the high-speed cameras he had prepared.

After he finished filming, Guo Kaichen could start his operation, ensuring he left no traces.

As for how to explain to the international court after they took away the Heavenly Falling Objects, Li Songyan hadn’t figured it out yet. For now, he needed to complete what was necessary first.

Guo Kaichen placed wedges on a huge rock at the top of the valley and then, draped in an optical camouflage cloak, slid down to the middle of the cliffside. His fire ability had a limited range; standing at the top of the mountain, he couldn’t reach the valley floor with his flames.

Lin Yanqing needed to rest her eyes, then her task would be to continuously monitor the target’s movements.

Li Songyan lay back down at the fixed edge of the cliff, hiding behind a row of scattered stones, and looked towards the west with a high-powered telescope.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Wei Tianyang in the middle of the road...

He saw Wei Tianyang take out his phone and put it to his ear, and at the same time, his own phone also vibrated.

"Hello... why... have you come too?" Li Songyan whispered, his voice low.

He didn’t want to let these two know Wei Tianyang was here.

"I’m just here to take a look, I have other things to do today. But... after second thought, maybe I can deal with both matters at once," Wei Tianyang said.

"What do you mean? Are you also going to hijack the Heavenly Falling Objects?" Li Songyan asked.

"No, I just want to confirm which side the person I’m looking for is on," Wei Tianyang replied.

"You have your agenda, I won’t interfere, but after this, you’ll have to come with me," Li Songyan stated.

"Let’s talk about that later; they don’t seem to have arrived yet, so I’ll go over there first," Wei Tianyang said.

"Over there? What do you mean?" Li Songyang was puzzled.

At that moment, in the telescope, Wei Tianyang disappeared, and simultaneously, the call ended.

Li Songyan took a deep breath. He wasn’t very familiar with superpowers, but from what he saw, could Wei Tianyang’s ability be teleportation? Tsk... no... he used a knife that appeared out of nowhere to kill refugees... again no... how did the Six-faced God Mountain collapse?

As Li Songyan racked his brains without coming to a conclusion, Wei Tianyang had already appeared 150 kilometers away in a forest of overlapping mountains.

Min Li was leading the group on the path ahead, and Wei Tianyang cut out of objective reality, following at the end of the group.

In this manner, he could traverse vast distances between two places in the time-stopped objective reality, allowing him to be present both on the Tiantai Pharmaceutical transport route and their last shelter.

To people in the subjective reality, it seemed as if Wei Tianyang was teleporting, but for him... each 150-kilometer flight took at least 4 hours, and a round trip felt like a whole day.

Although he could become a moth and fly in a straight line, the speed of a moth’s flight left much to be desired!

It would be great if he could acquire a more convenient ability for long-distance travel in the future.

Wei Tianyang followed at the end of the group, with thoughts swirling in his mind... it wasn’t just Ruan Yu... he also became curious about the Heavenly Falling Objects Tiantai was transporting.
