Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

364 Who’s Controlling Who?

“‘Father.”

“Is everything alright?”

“Yes, the embassy area was not directly bombarded. You stopped all of this in time. Congratulations.”

“The outcome was not perfect.”

Kang De had too many secrets and many inside stories about his operation in Comoros. He could not confide in his family to his heart’s content. In the end, the person he could talk to about everything was his iron son.

He rode the giant eagle to the sky near the military base. The crash site was not too far from the military base. After arriving, he discovered that the power of Archimedes Hammer was beyond imagination.

—Pick.

The earthquake caused by this magic device had already caused a fire.

This situation was really too common. The wires were short, producing sparks and electric arcs, causing the wires to overheat and the appliances to overload. There was also the collision of cars that caused the fuel to catch fire, as well as the fuel storage tank, power station, and gas device of the base. They could all become the source of the fire.

Flames wreaked havoc. The ground was dilapidated. Dust rose everywhere, and thick smoke billowed from the vast military base. Looking down from the sky, it was chaotic and there were flames everywhere.

“D*mn, it’s from my Kang family!”

When he thought of how the French must have a lot of military resources in the base where they operated the garrison here, and that they should all have the surname Kang, Kang De became even more anxious.

He wanted to go down and save her, but he did not know where to start. It was dark and windy at night, and he had never stepped on a location, nor did he have a map. How could he know where to go?

“Father, what’s wrong?”

His iron son asked curiously.

Kang De sighed and described the situation.

The white fog world could replicate everything on Earth. With such a cheat, Kang De’s material desires decreased exponentially. After all, human nature was like this. Only those who could not obtain it would be persistent. Those who could easily obtain it would become even more indifferent. There was everything in the white fog world, but he could not replicate a beautiful big sister with a perky butt and long legs. Kang De’s tendency in terms of human desires was obvious.

However, this time was an exception.

This was because the weapons and resources in the base were still very important.

Red Maple City was precarious. Even if there was a time flow difference, it was less than half a day. He was about to face a decisive battle against the Elven Expeditionary Force, and it was already a little late to seek military assistance from the outside world. He could only find replenishment from the French. The resources of this base and that airport were the greatest hope.

Therefore, he was very anxious. Unfortunately, after hearing his father’s words, his iron son was silent for a moment, as if he had made a decision.

“…Please take a photo. According to the overhead map, I’ll point you in the direction and draw a high-value target.”

Kang De was happy to hear this, then stunned. “How should I send it to you?”

They were now communicating via phone and could transmit voices. How could images be transmitted?

Horus was silent again, then slowly said, “I’ve applied for your WeChat friend.”

“???”

“!!!”

Kang De’s expression froze for a moment. “What?”

In the next moment, his phone buzzed. It was a new friend request. Kang De subconsciously opened it.

The avatar was a close-up of his iron son’s face. It was the huge head of a Transformer. Its electronic eyes shone with blue light, and it had clearly been filtered. It gave off the coldness of the industrial era.

The ID was “Brother Iron”.

“…Pfft!”

Kang De widened his eyes and almost laughed. Then, he returned to his senses, “Wait, how did you register on WeChat? No, no. Most importantly, how did you connect to the Internet? Hey, you…”

Horus said indifferently, “Father, is this the time to talk about this?”

Kang De immediately took a photo and sent it over, but he could not help it.

“Your… your ID… is really…” He held back his laughter, “It’s a little… subtle…”

In the next moment, the ID changed.

He had become a “Brother Iron of a Single-parent Family”.

“…Hey!”

Kang De was about to say something when his iron son said directly, “Father, please look. From your perspective, from top to bottom, look down at the map. You said that you rushed into the base from the west and chased southeast to the runway. Can you see the general outline of the runway now? The runway is in the middle of the east side of the base, and the center of the earthquake, the buildings around the building you rushed in, is the military camp and the administrative building.”

“The east side is the airspace control center, and further east is the vehicle care and maintenance area.”

“These three are the areas with the most earthquake damage. There’s no need to care about them because there are no high-value resources.”

“South of the vehicle maintenance area is the chariot workshop platform. Considering that the French have already come out in full strength, there won’t be anything good inside. You can place it at the end to explore.”

“The tank workshop platform is on the west side of the runway. The two are lined up together, and to the south is the reserve warehouse. This is less damaged and the most important thing to search.”

“The two small buildings beside the reserve warehouse are the guards’ barracks. There’s no need to care.”

“Apart from that, the southwest corner is clearly a short-range air defense missile position. The other corner on the right is a fixed artillery position. Father can consider dismantling some things. As for the high slope in the northwest corner, it’s the radar station and bunker area. The oil storage area is the place that’s burning the most. I don’t recommend Father to go. It’s too dangerous.”

The picture on WeChat was marked and scrawled clearly.

Kang De was stunned. “How do you know so much?”

His iron son’s tone was calm and indifferent, “Father, is this the time to talk about this?”

“…D*mn.”

In fact, without asking, Kang De roughly knew.

The function and use of the buildings everywhere in these military bases were definitely unknown to a military blind layman like him, but to professional soldiers, they could roughly guess it with a few glances. The difference was not a problem of intelligence, but experience. Where did experience come from? Go see, listen, understand, and think. Clearly, from the fact that his iron son had silently registered on WeChat…

This unfilial son was clearly addicted to the Internet.

He had to electrocute it when he had the time.

He rode the giant eagle down and indeed went to the warehouse to the south first. This was already the border of the military base. The damage was smaller, and it was an important place in the warehouse. All kinds of safety work were done extremely well and there was no fire, but one warehouse had almost completely collapsed, and the other was also in a dilapidated state.

Kang De tore open a few scrolls and drank the magic medicine. He activated Time Acceleration and rushed in fully armed to ensure that if anything happened, he could slip back to the white fog world immediately.

It was dark inside. Electric sparks flashed from time to time. It was really a mess. The underground warehouse, the explosion-proof door, and more than half of the various security measures had failed. All kinds of boxes were neatly placed, and there was no time to distinguish them carefully. In any case, he would carry them back to the white fog world.

Firearms, ammunition, and maintenance equipment.

Rounds, missiles, and rockets.

How magical and powerful was the mental strength of the Fire Thief? It spread and spread everywhere. Coupled with the power to extract everything, the so-called secret room was not secret at all.

“I discovered some relatively large… bombs,” Kang De said. “Something that can be hidden so carefully by the French must be good.”

“Of course—by the way, Father, the king has already officially negotiated with the French who attacked Moroni and directly summoned the French ambassador to announce an ultimatum. In other words, you have to be quick.”

Kang De had to deal with this matter before the French rushed back to join the rescue.

Not only did he have to take the thing away, but he also had to destroy the evidence.

“Got it.”

Kang De swept away a warehouse. He directly extracted the wall and dug a tunnel that led to the underground warehouse of another warehouse. As he worked, he talked to his son.

“I’ll get something to explode first and shake it again after that.”

“Yes, that’s safer.”

While moving another underground warehouse, Kirov sent a message.

“It’s reasonable that the French are unwilling to surrender. This is too embarrassing and will make the entire Foreign Legion a laughingstock—although after such a thing happened, they’re almost a laughing stock.”

There was joy in the Russian’s words.

“The French ambassador is mediating. The commander of this Comoros task force is only willing to hand over all his weapons and return to the rescue in an ordinary vehicle. However, the king’s attitude is unprecedentedly unyielding. I guess the French will fall badly this time. The order of the French government will be transmitted before long.”

When Kang De emptied this warehouse, set up the explosive device, and teleported back to the ground, the king called. He picked up. “Why? Did the French surrender?”

“…Not yet. I’m continuing to force them. The French government already knows about this and has probably already quarreled. I even received a call from the French President. Heh, I’ve never had an audience with him before this. I didn’t expect the noble Princeps of France to actually have my number.”

Chakat’s words contained faint mockery.

As Kang De smiled, he held the map and studied it. The next step was to search.

He casually asked, “So, what’s the matter?”

Chakat II sighed. “Where are you now? Are you free?”

Kang De frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“I didn’t want to trouble you…” The king sighed, “Previously, Little Bob controlled many people and ordered them to riot. Apart from my people, there are also the soldiers of Gambia. Now that he’s dead, the control is removed. My subjects quickly returned to normal and are very afraid. I’m thinking of a way to comfort them through the radio and send officials. These are easy to resolve. The problem is those… Gambia soldiers.”

Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “They’re still causing trouble?”

“They’re controlled to set fire to and kill. After they recover their senses, I’m afraid they don’t know what happened. According to the information, some people have already fled to Gambia overnight. Another portion has been blinded by blood and is still doing evil. You know that I’ve just lost this country and haven’t taken over it again. I’ve already sent many of my subordinates, but it takes time for them to arrive. Moreover, they’re short-handed and some places are still far away. I have no choice but to be thick-skinned and beg you…”

He said in an uneasy tone, “I’ll think of a way to thank you. I promise you that no matter how many benefits I obtain from the French this time, 80% of them will be given to you. If you have any requests, I’ll do my best to satisfy them. Apart from that, Big Bob and his son control a few lifeline industries in Comoros. I can transfer everything they have in this country to you. I don’t know if these are enough or what you want, but I…”

Kang De thought for a moment and said, “Tell me, where to? I’ll go over directly.”

Before ending the call, the king did not say anything else to thank him.

“Father?” After hearing this news, his iron son asked, “Aren’t you going to search?”

Kang De looked at the map. “The arsenal has been swept clean. Let’s loot the air defense missile and artillery positions. We won’t search the others. It won’t take long.”

Horus thought for a moment and said, “You decide.”

Ten minutes later, Kang De, who had randomly torn it down, left.

A muffled explosion sounded behind him.

The French army surrounding Moroni was still in a deadlock. It was not that they did not want to leave, but the king had mobilized volunteers and drove a tattered private car to surround the French army inside and out. In addition, there were Russian mercenaries and Myanmar mercenaries pretending to be “journalists from various countries” staring covetously. If the French dared to attack or force their way in, he would build another feces basin. It was enough for these guys to eat three more meals.

Kang De was already flying northwest of Comoros.

Previously, he had unlocked an even faster way to travel. He ordered the giant eagle to continuously climb. When it reached an extremely high height, it directly jumped down and spread out its flying squirrel wings to slide. Its speed could reach nearly 200 kilometers per hour.

The area the king asked Kang De to suppress was a city northwest of Comoros.

Although it was a city, it was actually the county city of the country. Near the place, Kang De shuttled through the white fog space and slowed down. There were flames, gunshots, cries, and curses.

Such an operation was not difficult.

Invisibility, detecting lives, and then directly charging up. No matter where the enemy was hiding, no matter if the enemy was holding a hostage, what occupied this city was a garrison of Gambia. It was less than a hundred people. These guys had turned the entire city into a chaotic place.

Kang De snatched a rifle and bent it. Then, under the other party’s terrified gaze, he broke the black soldier’s limbs and threw him to the ground like a piece of trash.

Whether they were arrested and imprisoned or torn to pieces depended on what these people had done tonight.

“Those who escape can live for the time being. Those who stay here and continue to do bad things naturally have to die.”

“I agree.”

However, his iron son’s tone was still a little confused and emotional.

In order to protect his father, Horus was left in the embassy and missed a few dramas. In order to comfort it, Kang De turned on a live video broadcast. His iron son watched the entire process.

“These people were controlled by Little Bob and committed evil. However, after the control was removed, they still continued to do evil. Did Little Bob order them to do evil, or did Little Bob lure out the evil in their hearts?”

The problem this child had been considering recently was becoming more and more profound.

Kang De shrugged. “Both, I guess.”

Horus continued to be confused, “Then, did Little Bob use that ancient divine artifact of Comoros to do evil, or did that ancient divine artifact draw out the evil in Little Bob’s heart?”

Kang De immediately replied, “He’s a b*stard to begin with. Is there a need to lure him?”

However, in the next moment, he was slightly stunned.

At this moment, it was as if a thought flashed through his mind. He vaguely seemed to have grasped something. All along, he seemed to have a blind spot in his mind, a possibility he had never thought of.

If that was the case…

“Father, did Little Bob use that ancient divine artifact, or did that thing control him?”
