Chapter 98: Chapter 97 Prove to Me, Yaha

Wei Tianyang returned to the burning woodland, thick smoke billowing everywhere, and if he hadn’t been able to switch to objective reality, he would have suffocated long ago.

On the ground, lay scattered hundreds of humanoid shadows, indistinguishable from each other without shifting to objective reality.

He saw that the commander’s tent had been burned down, Min Li was likely more dead than alive, and most of the soldiers concealed in the woods waiting had been suffocated by the black smoke, with only a few curled up on the ground, in a deep coma.

Wei Tianyang continuously switched between the two realities to identify the bodies of the Black House members. He had the guerrilla team drag out a dozen soldiers still breathing, and finally, he found Electronic Wave and Tap Dance, who had run deep into the woods to save others; half of their bodies were burnt into brittle, blackened husks, their clothes stuck to their melted flesh, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

He dragged the bodies of Electronic Wave and Tap Dance out of the woods, his own body also scorched by the high temperature, his skin melting, the sleeves stuck to his arms.

At this moment, Pivot and Kong Kong, who had gone to help with the reconnaissance soldiers, also returned; they too wanted to rush in to save others, but were stopped by Wei Tianyang.

Everyone inside was dead, the only ones alive were these.

Now, as the woodland continued to burn, they, along with a dozen injured, needed to quickly move through the less fiery parts of the woods and leave from the evacuation point.

The surviving soldiers of the New Liberation Front were reluctant; they cast hostile glances at Yaha but were intimidated by the fierce gleam in Wei Tianyang’s eyes. There was no time to mourn the dead companions; everyone carried the injured and evacuated, while Starbucks and others could only carry the bodies of their comrades on their backs.

After a difficult journey with Wei Tianyang leading the way, everyone soon reached a safe area, and this operation, undoubtedly, ended in failure.

The team responsible for the rendezvous at the evacuation point had noticed the bombing early on, but the radios had been destroyed in the blast, leaving them no way to contact those inside.

The rendezvous team had assumed that the two infantry squads and the half-made ones would be completely annihilated, yet, unexpectedly, Wei Tianyang led people out from the inside.

The trucks carried the defeated, trailing away on the muddy path.

Upon returning to Kongse, it was already evening.

They got off in the suburbs and walked back to Pei Guode Hotel.

Yaha had been silent throughout, and his mood kept everyone else in the hotel from speaking up.

Together, they buried Tap Dance and Electronic Wave in the artificial forest in front of the hotel, along with the driver, and then everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Wei Tianyang paced back and forth in his room.

"This is fishy, our last two operations were anticipated by Tiantai Pharmaceutical, and we were ambushed... It’s definitely a trap!"

He yelled toward a dark corner of the room.

"There can’t be an informant in the Black House, they couldn’t do it... so the problem must be with Red Pharmaceutical!"

"We’re always following their plans, Yaha has no strategy of his own, he just does whatever that Moby Dick tells him to."

"We can’t keep losing for nothing... I... need to act on my own."

He stopped pacing.

Turning back towards the window, he saw Li Bin leaning there, smoking.

"What are you planning to do?" asked Li Bin.

"That shelter was empty, you saw it too. The goods were moved, but not according to the route Tun Yun told me," Wei Tianyang said.

"Tun Yun... he’s long dead, I watched as Li Fei doused him with gasoline, and he burned into a charred corpse," Li Bin shrugged.

"Why didn’t he become one of the deceased like you guys?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I really don’t know. Maybe not everyone behaves this way..." Li Bin shook his head.

"Forget Tun Yun. Tiantai Pharmaceutical had always supported the conservatives, but they were defeated by Li Fei in a valley ambush against Li Songyan’s team, which doesn’t seem like something the conservatives would do," Wei Tianyang said gravely.

Li Bin didn’t speak.

"Tiantai has found new allies... Hasn’t your guerilla team noticed this?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Li Bin shook his head and said, "Li Fei has already declared war on the radicals. I thought they wouldn’t have the capacity to do anything else. If needed, I will have the guerilla team leave the conservative territory now to monitor their movements."

Wei Tianyang nodded, saying, "Maybe Ruan Yu is also on their turf,"

"Right, I haven’t seen Du Yan recently. Where did she go?" he asked further.

Li Bin smiled and answered, "She has been with Li Fei all along. We are only a step away from success."

Wei Tianyang nodded and said, "I wish her all the best, but you had better keep a close eye on her. Collaborating with pharmaceutical companies is not a wise choice."

Li Bin didn’t respond but flicked his cigarette butt out of the window, then vanished into the glimmer of the setting sun.

Yaha stood at the desk, gripping the phone, listening to Moby Dick’s insults.

"In my view, you’re not even half-finished products—you’re all worthless," Moby Dick mocked.

"Your information was wrong and it got two of our partners killed..." Yaha spoke in a low voice, struggling to hide the tremble in her tone.

"Stop giving me excuses! We just reached an alliance with the liberation front, and you’ve already cost them 200 members! Compared to that, your losses are insignificant."

"Yaha... you’ve really disappointed me. Are you unable to do anything without Wei Tianyang?"

"I can hardly imagine why he’d want to stay with you. According to my intelligence network, he single-handedly let Li Fei go, disrupted the conservative defense at Six-faced God Mountain, and killed the ambushing superpower special forces in the last mission... What exactly did the Black House achieve?"

Moby Dick’s taunting words were heart-piercing and factual—Black House had done nothing during Kongse’s two years in hiding.

And after Wei Tianyang joined, within these two months, Tiantai Pharmaceutical had visibly lost its control within the Chicken Snake Country.

But then again, expecting a half-baked team of fifty Medicine People to completely erase Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s presence in Chicken Snake Country was as hard as reaching the heavens.

Yaha remained silent, her mind fraught with unease; she couldn’t face her own failure, nor could she directly equate Wei Tianyang’s actions with Black House.

She had seen the Western document Wei Tianyang brought.

No. 091 was highly valued by Tiantai Pharmaceutical, showing exceptional activity during the chemical testing phase of the extracts, far surpassing other Heavenly Falling Objects.

And Wei Tianyang was the sole surviving subject of that project.

He wasn’t a half-made product; he was a true superpower special forces.

"Superpower special forces, with the power to change the tide of battle single-handedly... Comparable to a humanoid tactical nuclear weapon..."

These thoughts kept surfacing in Yaha’s mind.

"Yaha, you must prove to me the Black House still has value to be utilized, otherwise... not just the future you dream of, but your present will start to crumble," Moby Dick said.

The caller hung up, and Yaha’s breathing became rapid, her chest heaving. She felt her face flush, like a child who had just been scolded by a parent.

"I will prove it... even without him... I can..." Yaha murmured to herself.
