Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

437 Do You Surf the Web Too?

The plan was decided.

The king had already begun to plan the mobilization.

The map of the office was drawn by him with countless lines and circles. The land of more than 2,000 square kilometers in Comoros had a population of more than 800,000. There were six main cities, more than 30 small and medium-sized towns, and more than 500 administrative villages. It was differentiated from far and close. The situation of the cars and animals and the shipping situation in the water were connected and marked by him one by one. He also wrote a summary in the notebook beside him.

Where could he inform the people to retreat on their own? Where did he need to send a convoy to assist in the transportation? Which ones had to leave immediately and which ones could be slowed down? His mind was racing.

The ambassador suggested softly beside him.

With the performance of the interim government after Comoros experienced the flames of war, such an integrated plan could only be personally done by the most educated and knowledgeable king.

With the size and population of Comoros, it was probably only a slightly larger county city in China. However, such an operation was unprecedented in a small country like Comoros. The backward and slow national system had never been tested like this, but there was a first time for everything. China’s situation back then was much worse than this.

“I’ll gather all the medium and large vehicles in Moroni. They’re state-owned, royal, and civilian. I still have to rent them from you. Kang De, they were given to you by the Russians in your hands and seized from the French army.”

The king said to Kang De, “There are also the soldiers under you and the French captives… It’s not only resources, fuel, and vehicles that are in short supply, but also drivers who have been trained in large vehicles.”

Kang De nodded and said, “I’ve already told them. I’ll listen to your orders and my father’s now.”

Chakat II smiled. After the initial shock and uneasiness, he had calmed down.

After all, it was the king.

“To be honest, Kang De, in the past few days, I’ve shed all the tears of my life and felt the despair I’ve never felt in my life. I’ve been bullied, betrayed, and insulted. It’s as if I’ve returned to the colonial era… However, other than these, I’m also at ease.”

“My country and my subjects are facing an unprecedented challenge. This situation is even more difficult than hundreds of years ago. We were originally powerless to persevere. Fortunately, you’re here.”

The king stretched out his hand and shook Kang De’s.

“Although I’ve said it many times… Comoros will never forget you or betray you.”

Kang De smiled lightly and let go. “I should go.”

“You have to be careful,” Chakat II emphasized. “There’s no need for you to take too much risk for us.”

“You don’t have to say it.” Kang De waved his hand and turned to leave. Kang Jinzhu waited by the door.

The father and son walked downstairs side by side. Kang De asked, “Did you bring the talisman?”

“Yes,” his father replied. “I’ll wait in the basement. I’ll send you a signal if anything happens.”

Kang De wanted to go to Gambia to observe the scene. It was dangerous and unpredictable. His greatest reliance was to rub the Hearthstone. The return point was still in the basement. To be safe, Father Kang had to guard there.

Turning to the staircase, his father suddenly said, “You shouldn’t have revealed that to the ambassador.”

“What is it?”

“You can transport dozens of tons of goods for teleportation.”

Kang De turned to look at him. “What else will Comoros do?”

Kang Jinzhu sighed, “The country will be wary of you.”

This had nothing to do with good or evil, only its stand. As a government that was living with the stability of more than a billion citizens, it was heartless and rational and had to make a plan for all dangerous situations.

Compared to these responsibilities, Kang De’s kindness, loyalty, and stance were not worth mentioning.

After all, humans were the most fickle animals in the world.

Kang De said indifferently, “As long as I know that I have the teleportation ability, I have to be wary. Many times, bringing a C4 to a place is no different from bringing a nuclear bomb. Moreover, my destructive power has already surpassed most tactical weapons…”

“Disclosing this is like throwing weight to balance my threat and increase my value. I’m unwilling to stay in the country and cooperate with the research institute to draw blood and take scans. I have to let the country see the foundation of short-term benefits and cooperation. As for the threat and risk brought about by this ability, feel free to evaluate and record it. I won’t do anything. The plan that will never be useful is only a plan.”

He looked at his father’s still tense face and smiled. “The country wants stability. It won’t shoot the first time.”

Kang Jinzhu said angrily, “Little brat, you cause trouble all day.”

Kang De rolled his eyes. “D*mn, do you know what level of security you’ll enjoy when you return to the country? You’ll at least be a seventh elder!”

“The top security team of the country serves you in all aspects. Think about it, is this blessing still small?”

He shook his head and sighed, “Green smoke is rising from the ancestral grave of the Kang family. The dream treatment you can’t even dream of in eight lifetimes was exchanged by your son at the price of betraying his privacy and sacrificing his reputation. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you actually dare to scold the little brat. Aren’t you afraid that your ancestors will visit you in your dreams at night?”

Kang Jinzhu pretended to hit him. Kang De laughed and ran down the stairs.

He sent his father all the way to the entrance of the basement. Kang De thought for a moment and left a guardian mechanism there.

“Let’s go.”

“Be careful, don’t fail.”

“Tsk, when have you not been the one dragging us down in PUBG?”

“Get lost!”

He left.

They set off.

Comoros’ territory covered more than 2,000 square kilometers. The direct distance from Moroni to the border of Gambia was less than 30 kilometers, but the capital of Gambia, the city of Banjul, was by the sea in the west.

The Gambia was a long and narrow plain, like the neck of a turtle. It cut into the Senegal border. The coastline was about 50 kilometers long, and the length of the territory was more than 300 kilometers. This was a little slow.

The Hima Eagle flapped its wings and swept west.

Kang De sat upright on the back of the giant eagle. The violent wind facing him automatically parted three meters in front of him.

In the past few days in the other world, as he squatted in the Maple Leaf Palace to kill time, he chatted with many people. As an instructor at St. Covero University, Tina’s second sister, Stella, had displayed extraordinary arcane techniques at a young age and had a few patents that had been approved by the council. Kang De had learned a lot of common sense about magic from her.

There were even more gains.

For example, sitting on the back of the huge eagle that was flapping its wings and flying now and not having to be blinded by the incoming airflow was one of the gains. After all, spellcasters were high and mighty. They grasped supernatural knowledge and looked down at the clouds. Such a group naturally had a huge need to show off. After all, they wanted to control the wind of the world, transcend the restraints of the ground, and soar in the sky.

It was not blown into an afro by the high-altitude airflow or looked like a fool with gnome wind goggles.

Therefore, the spell called “Empty Needful—The Second Improved Edition of Aerodynamics for Your Best Expression Management” and the accompanying scroll became one of the classic spells of the arcane world that had lasted for a long time.

It was said to be something he had to learn.

It was said to be an improved version of aerodynamics. The Atmospheric Divine Shield that separated the airflow would adjust its shape on its own to expel the wind resistance and would not affect its flying speed and magic power consumption.

“As expected, be it spells or technology, they’re all to satisfy the desires of living beings.”

Kang De looked at the vast African plain below and sighed, “No matter which world it is, humans are lazy, vain, and shallow creatures who like to show off.”

His iron son’s voice sounded from his shoulder, “I agree extremely.”

The enemy’s situation was unpredictable. It was best to bring his iron son along. At the very least, he could use him as an artificial intelligence.

However…

“…”

Kang De’s expression stiffened slightly. “There seems to be something in your words.”

His iron son’s voice was innocent and calm, “No, Father. I’m clearly catering to you.”

Tsk, where did that pure tool, his iron son, go?

Kang De understood Kang Jinzhu’s distress and pain slightly.

However, it was precisely because of this that

It was precisely because he would be mocked, persecuted, and mocked by his son that he could not stop his actions for a moment!

Otherwise, he would suffer!

At this moment, Horus changed the topic at the right time, “What does Father think of the enemy this time?”

Kang De shook his head and said, “Something’s wrong. I’m almost 100% sure that this locust plague is abnormal. Firstly, from the weather conditions, it’s impossible to instantly erupt with a locust plague of this scale. Secondly, I’ve never heard of any locust that would actually eat phones, cars, and houses. This must involve supernatural powers.”

His iron son said in a low voice, “Did Big Bob do it?”

“I don’t know, but it’s very likely. Moreover, it’s very likely to be related to the body that came from the tomb of the Kings of Gambia…”

The old soul sealed in Tacitus had the ability to control the mind and recognized the Fire Thief. This puzzled and uneasy Kang De. Moreover, according to Horus, the Tacitus device contained a large amount of technological knowledge and mysterious information. The relic in the Gambia King’s Tomb was so impressive. He did not think that the thing buried in the Gambia King’s Tomb was a defective product… He already took this locust plague extremely seriously.

Moreover, before he left, he conveyed his worry to the Ambassador again and suggested that the international community deal with the crisis according to the highest situation… If necessary, prepare weapons of mass destruction.

“Of course, even if we want to throw a nuclear bomb, we have to wait for me to return before saying anything. We have to emphasize to the United States, France, and any other country that the matter at the Western Airport can’t happen a second time. Otherwise, Westerners don’t have to take the Gambia crisis seriously. Prepare to go to the new dungeon to pick up the cap.”

That was what he had said.

The ambassador actually understood instantly.

—Pick up the cap. Oh, oh, oh. When I was studying, I seemed to have played a game called Radiation. It’s quite difficult, but it’s quite fun. Have you played it before? In this day and age, it’s rare to see such a retro young man.

The ambassador in his forties or fifties seemed to have found a common language with Kang De.

Fortunately, the situation was urgent. As an established diplomat and politician, the ambassador did not want to talk about things like video games, so he did not say this.

Moreover, the background setting of the radiation series was really too disloyal to a Chinese diplomat. It was very difficult for him to explain where he had obtained it at that time.

Fortunately, he did not say it. Otherwise, although Kang De would nod in agreement on the surface, he would definitely mock his father later and say that Comoros actually had a descendant of the Black Island. Then, he would further lower the reputation of the ambassador.

At this moment, his phone vibrated. He was really thinking of the devil when he called.

Kang De continued, “Mr. Ambassador?”

“Mr. Kang De, are we setting off?”

“Yes, it’s in the sky.”

“…” The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying as if nothing had happened, “I just reported the situation. The country has already followed your suggestion and urgently conscripted resources in City H. It will take about five hours to coordinate, load, and transport them. Look, where should the trucks be gathered?”

“Anywhere. We have to keep it a secret. It’s best to be closer to my house. We’ll talk then.”

“Alright.”

The ambassador continued, “The higher-ups value the situation in Gambia very much and have also begun to make plans according to the urgent situation to exchange and consult with the governments. However, you know that what we hear is false, but what we see is true. Now that the external communication channel in Gambia has been cut off, the French only have some video and video information. Even if we want to prepare, we have to focus. Therefore, we need detailed video information and physical information.”

Kang De nodded and said, “This is the reason why I’m going. If I can’t resolve this situation for the time being, I’ll capture some locusts and find enough information.”

“It’s been hard on you. In addition…” The ambassador said, “There are specialized people who will maintain contact with you. It’s the special situation research team from the country. The information obtained will be shared with the various countries according to the situation. Is there a problem?”

“No problem.” Kang De smiled and said, “By the way, specialized personnel is not here to guide work, right?”

“…Don’t worry.” The ambassador was a smart person and immediately understood, “They’re all the elites of the Republic. This is an urgent matter and they all know the severity. There are no idiots who don’t understand the situation and good-for-nothings who come to be gilded. If there’s really such a thing, just scold him. Now, you’re the master.”

“I understand—then, is everything alright?”

“There’s one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“Kang De, the country said that it’s better not to tell France about transporting resources. Just treat it as the country buying you.”

“Alright, there’s no mail this time.”

After pressing the hang-up button, a smile appeared on Kang De’s lips.

—Look, the country still understands very well. It’s always the most comfortable to deal with smart people.

His iron son asked, “Consensus again?”

Kang De’s mood improved. He smiled and said, “Yes, cooperation needs a period of adaptation. Fortunately, both sides have good intentions. Trust and alliance are built on mutual deterrence and mutual benefit. Then, we’ll keep a distance, maintain respect, and maintain our strength… It seems that my motherland understands this principle. I’m happy.”

“Should I congratulate you?”

“Sure.”

“Will your motherland give you a wife?”

“Shut up!”

He looked at the time and the Google map. It was more than 300 kilometers. It would take at least four hours. He took out his laptop from his bag, turned it on, and connected the power cord. Kang De took the plug and knocked on the exoskeleton armor on his shoulder. “Horus, pop out a three-hole socket.”

“…What for?”

“More than three hours is enough for me to play five rounds of civilization.”

“…Please allow me to reject.”

“Why?”

“It feels very strange. Moreover, it’s very tiring to maintain a stable electric current. Moreover, Father, if you have time, why don’t you draw? Three hours is enough to imitate an iron wall enchantment, right?”

“No, I want to play games and relax. The battle is about to begin. How can I trouble myself? Hurry up and take a seat!”

“…Father, don’t force me.”

“What are you going to do?”

Horus was silent for a moment before suddenly shouting, “Ah! I’m going to be poked by Father!”

“…”

“…”

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

—What the f*ck did I hear?! What the f*ck did I hear?!

Kang De was like a frozen statue. He only spoke after half a minute. He said in exasperation, “Where did you learn this?! If this was me when I was young, I would have been hung and beaten up for the entire night!”

Horus’s voice returned to coldness. “I comprehended it on my own.”

“Are you going to become Skynet?!”

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll always be your good son.”

“…”

As if it was hot, Kang De threw the power cord aside. Before his chaotic mood could calm down, his phone buzzed and vibrated again. It was an unknown number.

“…Hello?”

On the other end of the phone, a sweet female voice sounded, “Is it Mr. Kang?”

Kang De was stunned when he heard his iron son on his shoulder suppress his voice and say as if nothing had happened, “It’s Mr. Kang with a number.”

Kang De jolted and said angrily, “Did you secretly go online?!”

On the other end of the phone, the female voice was stunned, “Ah?”
