Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 361

361 Hunter and Prey

“The French military base! He’s in the French military base!”

The Russian technician who had come with Kirov shouted.

Everyone on the second floor of the police station stood up.

French military base.

!!
The overseas base maintained by France in Comoros housed the Comoros Task Force of the French Foreign Legion. Its work was to ensure the sovereignty of Comoros and assist it in defending its air and territorial sea, protecting France’s interests in the area, maintaining regional stability, and serving as a peacekeeper if necessary.

Of course, all the above work was built on France’s needs.

For example, in the surprise war against Comoros in Gambia, this overseas task force had watched the show in the base, or rather, waited for the French government and the Security Council to “explicitly authorize” it, like an invisible person.

However, this did not mean that they did not exist.

In fact, this foreign army task force of about 400 people was the most important force in the area. It was a powerful foreign army, absolute air control and air support, advanced French equipment, and most importantly, the Fifth Republic of France stood behind this army.

In fact, in the series of battles in the past few days and even in the future, what King Chakat was most worried about was not France watching from the sidelines, but this task force in the name of “protecting the sovereignty of Comoros”. Then, they f*cking sided and threw Little Bob’s people and the Gambia army to the back of his mind. At the request of the “President of the Interim Government of Comoros”, they characterized the resistance pulled up by the king as “regional terrorist armament” and carried out righteous actions.

However, now, he had to admit that something even worse had happened.

This French army might have to obey the orders of an arrogant, overconfident, and crazy executioner. The French government would take into account so-called international public opinion and humanitarianism, but lunatics would not.

Therefore, Chakat II jumped up as if his butt was on fire and shouted, “Sound the air raid alarm! Everyone, enter the underground bunker immediately! Immediately! Immediately!”

If Little Bob controlled some Gambia soldiers and his subordinates and dared to order them to attack Moroni, what would he do after capturing an entire base of Franco-Prussian troops?

The calmness from singing rap and talking and laughing with Little Bob was all gone. King Chakat’s eyes were wide as he continuously roared and gave orders to the officials who had temporarily gathered. Kirov had already walked quickly to Kang De and said, “You have to move.”

Kang De asked, “What’s in the military base?”

The general situation of the overseas base and the garrison troops were not secrets. They were all in the military white paper, but who would take everything recorded in it seriously?

“Apart from the headquarters management squadron, there’s also a comprehensive combat team and a reconnaissance support squadron. On the surface alone, there’s an RTF1-120mm mortar, an AMX-10RC armored vehicle, and all kinds of anti-tank missiles, general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns, assault rifles… God knows what the French army secretly hid here that was not revealed just in case.”

The Russian’s tone was unprecedentedly serious.

What chemical weapons, poison gas bombs, or even more exciting things? These weapons of mass destruction were restricted by the United Nations Convention and world public opinion. All countries wanted face. Of course, they did not use them on the surface, but they must secretly hide and seal some in private to prevent any unpredictable things from happening in the future. When they had no choice but to use them or their opponents, it would be too slow to develop and make them.

Now, if Little Bob controlled that place…

“I don’t know what’s there, but as long as they approach Moroni, it’s definitely an out-and-out disaster. This is not something the motley crew from before can compare to!”

Kirov said seriously, “I’m not joking. With the few of us and the equipment that came down from the airdrop, we’re definitely not the match of these French people. They might not be able to do anything to you, but you…”

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang crazily. An official picked up the phone. A moment later, he muttered to the king in extreme panic. His tone was fast and carried an African accent. He did not understand anything.

Kirov’s expression changed again. “Oh, the Gambia garrison stationed everywhere in Comoros has begun to set fire to and shoot. There are also local residents who have begun to riot…”

Another call was picked up.

The surveillance post of the French base had already been removed. The last message was that the direction of the base was brightly lit. The French army had already begun to gather urgently.

Chakat II’s expression froze.

The bells intertwined and rose and fell.

In the chaotic and flustered atmosphere, when the officials went to answer the phones and issue orders, when the sharp air defense alarm resounded through the city, the king looked over with bloodshot eyes.

Kang De nodded at him.

“Leave it to me.”

His expression was calm. He passed by the king and patted his shoulder.

Chakat II grabbed his arm.

Kang De turned around. Their gazes met. The king’s lips trembled, and his eyes changed. There was pleading and helplessness. The huge threat and blow came wave after wave. This crown was too heavy.

“Go do what you have to do, King. Protect your family.” Kang De pulled on the mask of his Shadow Lone Ranger outfit. “I have to protect my family too.”

His figure transformed into a stream of light and jumped out of the police station, riding an eagle.

“Your Majesty, stop daydreaming.” Kirov came to his side and pushed him. “Evacuate the civilians, confirm the defense, and make an urgent plan. Your country needs you, and so do your people. By the way, we still have a long time to interact. In order to make a good impression, let me give you some advice.”

The Russian picked up his walkie-talkie and said to the king, “Send a few loyal and fearless investigation and photography teams out to search for traces of that French task force. If we can capture decisive evidence of firing in the direction of Moroni, your good days in Comoros will come.”

After he finished speaking, he strode away.

“Dimitri, Dimitri, order your people to shrink the defense. The defense line is deployed near the embassy. I’ll inform you of the exact combat strategy. I’ll arrive soon. Inform the Chinese comrades over there that I’ll explain to Ambassador He on Kang De’s behalf and share information and discuss the strategy…”

Ever since Kang De accepted the performance of the airdrop, the Russians were even more confident in him. They did not feel that this situation was a dead end, and they were not too worried. After all, he was a Russian and would not be too worried and anxious about the threat facing the people of this city.

Instead, he was a little excited.

If not for the strange atmosphere, he would almost dance.

The old grudge between Russia and France could even be traced back to the Napoleonic era.

The Russian almost laughed on the walkie-talkie. “The French network of influence, reputation, and interests in this area will no longer exist with this military base.”

“—Therefore, Comrade Dimitri, for the good of Russia, I need a few brave photographers. I need them to film two huge works that are enough to hang in the Winter Palace. The first is called The French in Moroni, and the second is called They Did It Again.”

“Yes, yes. The first painting is very easy to capture. As for the second…”

As he walked, he looked at the dark sky of the city. Dawn was not far away.

“The second one will depend on how far our Chinese captain can go.”

The Chinese captain rushed on his way.

As soon as he returned from the Western Airport, he had to immediately rush to the French military base and did not even have the time to say a few words to his father and son. Sigh, there was an old and young life. It was so busy, fulfilling, and explosive.

The Hima Eagle flapped its arcane wings and whistled through the dark sky. Kang De checked his equipment and scrolls as he picked up the call. “Hello?”

His father’s voice sounded, “I’m wondering if this will become the norm in the future.”

Kang De was stunned for a moment, thinking that his father would complain or worry or reprimand him again.

He did not expect to say this.

He smiled. “No. As you said, Earth won’t stop spinning just because I’m not alone. If you hadn’t been trapped in Comoros, I don’t care if there was a war here. You wouldn’t have come at all.”

Father Kang was silent for a moment before saying, “It sounds like I should have chosen to stay in the country back then and not be like now. Not only have I always been separated from my son and wife, but I’ve also involved my son in the war in Africa and let him appear under the sunlight in another identity…”

Kang De lowered his eyes.

However, the understanding, blame, and longing he had when he was young should have turned into a relieved smile now.

He chuckled and said, “On account of the key school I’ve been in since I was young, the pocket money I’ve never lacked, the generous red packets I give during festivals, the many expenditures I spend on eating, drinking, and playing outside class, and the property value that has increased like a crazy dog, I’ll forgive you. Without your hard work, how could I have ten million yuan in assets?”

“…It’s not yours yet, okay?”

“Isn’t this only a matter of time?”

“It seems that it’s time to have a second child.”

“It’s here again…”

Kang De smiled, but as he smiled, his smile changed.

“Speaking of which…” He said softly, “If Mom’s physical conditions allow, it’s good to have a second child.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

His father’s voice was firm. “No.”

Kang De held his phone and maintained his smile. He sat on the eagle’s back and did not speak.

The father and son were silent.

After a long time, Kang De smiled, “Alright, save me the trouble of dirtying my hands. I still have to throw this little brat who fights with me for my assets into the vat… Alright, let’s stop here.”

Father Kang said softly, “Yes.”

“Hey, cheer up. I’m going to do a heroic act. Is it really good to create such a dangerous flag atmosphere?” Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “Say something.”

“…Oh.”

Kang Jinzhu thought for a moment and slowly said, “We definitely won’t have a second child. However, Kang De, have you considered putting your sperm into storage in case we want to have grandchildren in the future? If you’re useless, there’s always a way…”

“I! Don’t! Want! That!”

The conversation between the father and son ended amidst laughter.

What a joke.

Kang De roared in the night wind high in the night.

—D*mn, I’m an environmentalist who advocates nature. What artificial insemination, what test tube baby? They’re all evil. They don’t have souls. Of course, I have to do it myself!

Stop looking down on people!

The Hima Eagle flapped its wings and quickly rose into the air. Kang De confirmed the map one last time, then jumped down from the eagle’s back. The Shadow Solitary Set spread its gliding wings like a flying rat, expanding and slowing down. The engraved wind array worked, causing him to continuously accelerate and whistle in the direction of the French base.

This seemed to be faster.

The goal was the French military base, and the goal was Little Bob Burroughs.

Since the arrangements he had made at the airport had already been exposed, it meant that his true location had been exposed. This guy immediately activated the puppets set up everywhere and started a riot, causing chaos. The French army in the base would definitely attack Moroni and create chaos everywhere so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

However, on the other hand, even if there was chaos everywhere, even if the French army was completely controlled, as long as they captured Little Bob and seized that treasure, they could order these controlled people to return to normal.

Therefore, it was still the beheading operation.

As long as he took down Little Bob and seized the treasure, he could order the destruction operations everywhere to stop and order the French army who attacked Moroni to surrender. Little Bob could even control that thing, so there was no reason why he could not use it. In such a situation, taking the initiative to attack and pointing the finger was the wisest choice.

The French army, which was obsessed with putting out the fire everywhere and blocking the unknown route, would let Little Bob leave calmly. He could even leisurely control more people and create more chaos.

D*mn, Yuri indeed had to die.

In the night sky, Kang De’s figure continuously accelerated. With the enhancement of the gliding suit and the wind array, his gliding speed had already exceeded 150 kilometers per hour. Moreover, he could still continue to accelerate. He passed through the clouds and looked down at the ground. In the darkness, he could see light everywhere. The most dazzling direction was his destination.

Like a meteor, Kang De fell from the sky. He did not have the time to look at the scene below carefully. He turned around and activated his ability. He shattered space and jumped to the white fog world. This feeling even made him suspect the truth of the world. In the next moment, he appeared in the sky again and fell freely. He jumped several times until he successfully reached the ground.

A hundred or two hundred meters away was the high wall of the base.

Searchlights, patrols, and vaguely heard the roar of the plane’s engine.

—F*ck.

He could not let this force him away!

Kang De did not have the time to think carefully. He immediately activated invisibility, kicked the take-off stone, shuttled through space, and jumped into the wall.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the lights shone and several pillars of light turned in his direction. Cannon fire roared and bullets swept. Dense fire instantly enveloped him.

It was as if invisibility was useless.

In an instant, a realization flashed through Kang De’s mind.

In the process of hunting, he seemed to have become prey.

Interesting.

The power of time circulated. Kang De flashed and dodged the cannon fire, preparing to meet his prey.
