The recording abruptly ended.
The situation was not overly complicated, yet exceedingly perilous.
The Heavenly Falling Objects had transford the entire population of a city into zombies that could not be killed by conventional weapons, and if there was no effective way to stop them, it could spell doom for a small country or even the entire world.
"Are you certain that thermal weapons can’t harm these zombies, rather than it being due to insufficient firepower?" Wei Tianyang sought confirmation once again.
"We’ve used armor-piercing rounds, strategic intercontinental missiles, tried everything but nuclear bombs," Leona shook her head.
"Launching missiles at one’s own territory can easily lead to a severe political crisis. Fogen has already set an example of that once," Helena Mina added.
Wei Tianyang stroked his chin, thinking for a mont before inquiring, "How large is the swarm of zombies? How far has it spread?"
"By conservative estimates, the size of the horde should have reached a million, but they’re only following the Heavenly Falling Object and haven’t spread to the surrounding areas, which is fortunate amidst the misfortune," Leona explained.
"If thermal weapons are useless, then I don’t need to carry a rifle," Wei Tianyang said.
Leona nodded, and Helena Mina also expressed agreent over the phone.
"You’re here to see because the Superpower Special Departnt is ineffective as well, right?" Wei Tianyang deduced.
"For historical reasons, Prussia does not allow the possession of a Superpower Special Departnt..." Leona confessed softly.
Wei Tianyang nodded; she was telling the truth.
"We’ve borrowed superpower special forces from Churi Country and Liot among others, and the United Council has sent three, but their superpowers are ineffective..." Helena Mina said.
Wei Tianyang understood right away; they wanted to send him in, betting on his annihilation ability to be effective. In other words, Gerlitz City had already been written off, waiting for him to go in and then obliterate it.
If there were indeed no survivors in the city, and everyone had been transford, he would certainly be willing to act.
"If you’ve made up your mind, then I will completely erase that city. There will be no turning back," Wei Tianyang warned.
Hearing his words, Leona’s brows relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"I’ll represent..." she started.
"Thank after the job is done. However... give two days. I need to go back to Yin Country to handle so personal matters," Wei Tianyang requested.
"Ti is of the essence, could you perhaps deal with the issue of Gerlitz first, then..." Helena Mina began.
Leona also looked at him with a grave expression.
"That matter is equally important to ," Wei Tianyang asserted.
"Priorities have to be set for different situations..." Helena Mina continued to urge Wei Tianyang.
"It’s okay, Gerlitz has already fallen, and for now, the Heavenly Falling Object and the horde are not making any significant movents. I believe we can spare two days," Leona said.
"Thank you for your understanding, President Leona. If the situation deteriorates, I promise, I’ll appear in Gerlitz the next second," Wei Tianyang also assured.
Leona nodded lightly, she was aware of Wei Tianyang’s ability to teleport instantly and thus wasn’t worried.
"Is everything settled? If you’re going back to Yin Country, I can make arrangents now," Helena Mina offered.
Wei Tianyang humd an affirmation.
"Okay, let’s proceed with that," Leona also nodded in agreent.
The phone conference ended, and the car ca to a stop in front of the entrance to Georgetown Park.
"Then I’ll... get off here," Wei Tianyang said.
"Alright... then... Mr. Wei, if it’s convenient for you, could you leave your private contact information?" Leona asked.
"You already have this number, right?" Wei Tianyang shook his phone.
"I an... sothing more private, not under the surveillance of the United Council..." Leona admitted frankly.
"I’ve only known you for a few minutes," Wei Tianyang shook his head.
"I listened to your speech, Wei, and I highly agree with your views... In fact, many scholars have had enough of the arms race based on the Heavenly Falling Objects," Leona said.
Wei Tianyang had one foot out of the car door but did not get out right away.
"I believe we can form a more noble organization in private, to create a future that’s worth striving for," Leona said.
"Just on the basis of one speech, you trust like this?" Wei Tianyang said.
"Your eyes tell you might have killed a lot of people, but never told a lie," Leona said.
Wei Tianyang didn’t speak.
"Many think your speech yesterday was aningless, less significant than even a word from Zhao Ling, but I believe it was extraordinarily aningful. You don’t have to rush your answer, think about it," Leona said.
Wei Tianyang nodded, got out of the stretch limo, and Leona lowered the window, watching him with earnest eyes until the car left his sight.
Helena Mina’s arranged plane would depart in the evening, fly through the night, and reach Yin Country by next morning. Wei Tianyang went back to his apartnt, saw the ssy bed, and the imprint left by Zhao Ling.
He reached out to touch it, cold to the touch, yet he felt as if he could still feel Zhao Ling’s warmth. After entering her body, that intense pleasure had beco a kind of imprint, sharing each other’s heartbeat and bodily fluids, an unprecedented sensation. Recalling Zhao Ling’s appearance, his feelings for her had changed.
Wei Tianyang shook his head, casting aside these random thoughts. At that mont, the doorbell rang, and Steijie was unexpectedly visiting.
He opened the door to welco Steijie inside. The visitor was dressed in a suit, a bulletproof SUV was parked outside, and a bodyguard was standing by the car door.
Steijie walked into the living room, couldn’t wait to settle in front of the couch, turned around, and said, "Leona sought you out just now, didn’t she?"
Wei Tianyang, with hands on his hips, nodded. Here, in the Sethiyan Federation, it was normal that every action of his was under surveillance.
"I think it’s not quite appropriate to just eliminate the Heavenly Falling Objects," Steijie said.
"Did you eavesdrop on the phone call?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"I’m sorry, Wei, but this matter involves many people, and the living Heavenly Falling Objects..."
Steijie hadn’t finished speaking when Wei Tianyang interrupted him.
"Are you currently a governor, or still Steijie?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"Both," Steijie laughed awkwardly.
"I’d like to talk about the Libitelli first. You sent four Trinities there, used Spencer as bait, and planned to get rid of ."
"I didn’t co to you expecting you to volunteer an explanation on your own, but you remained indifferent. And now, showing up at my door, you admit to eavesdropping on my call nonchalantly and plan to instruct on what to do."
"Do you think you can still walk out of this room alive after doing all this?"
Wei Tianyang cocked his head, his eyes as red as lamps, slowly approaching Steijie.
Steijie’s forehead was sweating, his face turned pale, and his breathing beca ragged.
"The living Heavenly Falling Objects... have trendous research value... We can’t just let you erase them," Steijie said helplessly.
Wei Tianyang’s two fingers turned into Bone Knives, and he swiftly extended them toward Steijie’s head.
In an instant, Steijie’s body stiffened like a plank, standing rigid, afraid to move.
Steijie felt a tearing pain in his left ear as if grazed by a speeding bullet, and he bent over with a sharp gasp, subconsciously covering it with his hands, blood seeping out from his fingertips.
Wei Tianyang withdrew his hand. His right index finger and thumb held a black piece the size of a little fingernail cap, with two two to three-milliter-long threads at the end.
