3: Ten thousand soldiers went to Kyoto
“I’m just going to the bathroom, do you have to follow?”
Bai Yang sat on the toilet, on the verge of tears.
Before leaving, the Grand Elder had instructed his guard to protect Bai Yang’s life at all costs and to execute his orders first before reporting.
Thus, Liu Zhendao strictly followed the command.
Even when Bai Yang was in the bathroom.
People are most vulnerable when using the bathroom, not to mention being constantly watched.
“This is the Grand Elder’s order.”
Liu Zhendao pinched his nose, standing in front of Bai Yang; this situation had been going on for a full ten minutes.
Bai Yang looked helpless; his importance to People was so high that he had already seen the same group of people no less than eight times while walking down the street.
“If I were to gather the Rank Kings from all Military Regions of People tomorrow, how many do you think I could find?”
Bai Yang pondered for a moment, deciding to improve his strength first, otherwise, being constantly protected wherever he went was simply too inconvenient.
Although he didn't know what Bai Yang wanted to do, Liu Zhendao still gave a definite answer:
“Within one day, at most ten thousand people can be found.”
“Then call me ten thousand Rank Kings! Gather at the Kyoto Military Region tomorrow morning!”
Bai Yang pulled up his pants and stood up, feeling a surge of heroic spirit.
“Also, prepare a helicopter. I want to go to the mass grave near Kyoto, preferably one with many grave mounds.”
“Yes!”
............
“Cold Front, receiving a call from a superior, you are ordered to arrive at the Kyoto Military Region by 10 AM tomorrow!”
“Received.”
On the Afghan battlefield, Cold Front shot and killed a United States soldiers sniper three kilometers away, then got up and walked towards the camp, his comrades saluting him as he passed.
White Ghost was Cold Front's codename; on the Afghan battlefield, he had sniped over eight hundred United States soldiers, becoming an unforgettable nightmare for the Americans.
“Xiong Junfeng, Li Tieniu, a call from Kyoto. You two are to immediately proceed to the Kyoto Military Region.”
“Mission accomplished!”
Two towering figures, shoulder to shoulder, squeezed into a green jeep. The spacious jeep barely accommodated their bulky bodies.
Military Region airport.
“Buddy, you’re Lin Bing, aren’t you? The one who headshotted the Blue Army Commander in the red-blue exercise? I’ve heard a lot about you!”
“If I’m not mistaken, Your Excellency is Zhang Xirui, the close-combat master from the White Tiger Squad who took on ten opponents. The feeling is mutual!”
Rank Kings from all over Great People embarked on their journeys, all converging at the Kyoto Military Region.
............
“Please, all of you, enter the Myriad Souls Banner and help me cultivate!”
On the third-generation qinglong fighter, Bai Yang brought out the Myriad Souls Banner, and thick black smoke enveloped the surroundings.
Thousands of departed souls were drawn from the grave mounds, scrambling to pour into the Myriad Souls Banner, only to shatter the moment they entered.
“Still can't bear it…”
The number of departed souls within the Myriad Souls Banner stagnated after reaching nine thousand eight hundred ninety.
Among the more than a thousand departed souls just now, not a single one could serve as one of the ten main souls or one hundred general souls.
Liu Zhendao’s hands, gripping the fighter’s control stick, were covered in sweat. Witnessing Bai Yang's actions of collecting departed souls everywhere, he finally realized Bai Yang's importance.
“Take me to Shanhe University. I need to get my laptop,” Bai Yang said seriously to Liu Zhendao, who was piloting the fighter, after retracting the Myriad Souls Banner.
“Can I have a guard retrieve it for you?”
“No, there’s important information on the laptop!”
“Yes!”
Liu Zhendao’s expression was serious. Information that Bai Yang deemed important must be related to the fate of People!
“Calling Henan Province Military Department, this is the Supreme Action Team! Immediately organize special forces to Shanhe University’s main gate and clear all possible threats!”
............
Shanhe University, school gate.
Zhang Dejian stared intently at his phone screen. Below a long string of green messages was a short white one.
【Jiang Fan: I'm sorry, you're a good person, but I like Bai Yang. There's no future for us.】
“Bai Yang, it’s Bai Yang again! What’s so good about that damn pretty boy compared to me?!”
Zhang Dejian’s face turned red with anger, and he slammed his smartphone onto the ground.
This was his sixth time confessing to a girl, but not one of the six liked him, and coincidentally, all six girls liked Bai Yang.
Bai Yang is just a mere school heartthrob, but my dad is a genuine vice-chancellor of Shanhe University!
“Move aside, everyone move aside!”
Ten military vehicles suddenly stopped at the main entrance of Shanhe University, and over eighty fully armed special forces quickly dismounted and dispersed the students at the school gate.
“Holy cow, look at their epaulets! These are all members of Henan Province’s Wolf Tooth Special Forces!”
“Really? The Wolf Tooth Special Forces are a special unit that can go head-to-head with the Flying Tigers. Why are they coming to our school for no reason?”
“Based on my deduction, there’s a high probability of terrorists in the school. I propose we blow up the school!”
“Although I also want to blow up the school, it’s probably a big shot coming here to inspect.”
A group of university students gathered at the school gate, discussing animatedly. More and more people joined the onlookers, and Zhang Dejian also stayed to join the excitement.
Half an hour later.
Five qinglong fighters sped from a distance, hovering at the school gate and slowly descending.
“Oh my god! It’s the third-generation qinglong fighter, the most advanced fighter jet displayed during the grand military parade!”
A gasp of surprise came from the crowd. First, the Wolf Tooth Special Forces cleared the school gate, then five qinglong fighters landed at the school gate. What exactly happened?!
Immediately, some People raised their phones to take pictures, but they were stopped by prepared special forces who grabbed their phones and sternly reprimanded them:
“No photos allowed, no videos allowed!”
“Why not? Taking photos is my right, can you control me?”
A robust young woman was displeased. If she filmed this scene and posted it online, she would definitely gain a lot of traffic.
The young woman raised her phone, ready to record, when a gunshot silenced everyone present.
“First shot, warning shot!”
“Anyone else recording will be killed without mercy!”
The special forces didn't indulge her at all, their dark muzzles pointed at the young woman’s head, scaring her so much that her pants became soaked on the spot.
The five qinglong fighters slowly landed. A special forces member, clearly the captain, jogged to the front of the lead helicopter, his voice loud and clear:
“Wolf Tooth Special Forces, mission clear completed. Please give instructions, Chief!”
Zhang Dejian was startled. What Rank of important person could command such high-level security measures, with both special forces and fighter jets?!
The cabin door slowly opened. Zhang Dejian vaguely saw a young man whose profile closely resembled Bai Yang, covering his mouth and whispering to the special forces captain.
A few seconds later, the person retreated into the fighter and closed the cabin door, after which the special forces captain ran towards the campus.
“Could it be… this leader is Bai Yang?!”
Zhang Dejian was startled by his own strange thought, then shook his head vigorously.
There are too many people who look alike on Blue Star. If Bai Yang had such great ability, he wouldn't be idle every day, attending classes at school.
Wait, classes?
Bai Yang hasn't been to class these past few days!
Zhang Dejian slapped his head. After Bai Yang skipped class a few days ago, he hadn't come to class at all!
Picking up his cracked phone from the ground, new and old grudges surged in Zhang Dejian's heart. He wanted to report Bai Yang to the counselor, hoping to get Bai Yang expelled!
