Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The girl pursed her lips, but she still drove steadily back to the district. In the underground parking lot, she turned to look at Kang De and was silent for a moment, “…Be careful.”

Kang De sat in the front passenger seat and replied softly, “Yes.”

“Also…” Xiaoman said, “Don’t be too angry. Anger can make people lose their minds.”

Kang De nodded silently.

!!

Xiaoman looked at her childhood sweetheart beside her, but she vaguely felt that the other party was even further away from her. She looked at the other party’s slightly pursed mouth. They had grown up together and she knew the other party’s expression habits and burden. She was still helpless.

She let go of her seatbelt, straightened up sideways, and hugged Kang De. “…No matter what, I’m still here.”

Kang De said nothing, only closed his eyes. He knew what was coming. Both sides knew. He already had a plan and knew how he should do it.

Therefore, at least at this moment, he wanted to hug the pure calmness in his arms.

After an unknown period of time, his phone began to buzz. Kang De glanced at it. “…It’s here.”

Xiaoman silently let go and sat back down. Then, she opened the car door.

“…I won’t send a message or call you because that might disturb you, but you must call and send a message. I’m not afraid of disturbing you 24 hours a day.”

The girl got out of the car. Kang De was on the other side. The two of them looked at each other through the car.

Kang De said, “Go back and wait for my good news.”

Xiaoman said softly, “You go first.”

Kang De looked at her deeply, then turned and walked towards the garage exit.

Xiaoman watched him leave and saw her childhood sweetheart snap his fingers. Then, his figure disappeared and was swallowed by the shattered black light. A moment later, he appeared again with a heavy bag. He was still the same person, but his lonely back revealed seriousness and killing intent.

Perhaps this was Kang De’s current appearance.

Xiaoman watched Kang De disappear from the exit for a long time.

Xie Ligan’s car was waiting outside the district.

Seeing Kang De carrying something, the driver opened the trunk and opened the door to welcome him out, planning to help him take it. Kang De waved his hand to stop him and threw the bag in. With a bang, the luxury car shook.

He glanced at the driver. “Drive.”

Then, he pulled open the back door and got in.

Xie Ligan was waiting inside.

The extended Mercedes drove steadily towards the main road and turned to go straight to the airport. They were silent the entire way and the two of them did not talk. More than half an hour later, the airport was in sight, but it did not drive towards the terminal. Instead, it drove towards the parking lot. The driver was familiar with it. He walked along the vast parking lot and stopped at a specially left space.

Xie Ligan said, “Identity card and passport.”

Kang De took it out and handed it over. He had found it at home and brought it with him.

After Xie Ligan took it, he handed it to the driver in the front row. The driver adjusted the temperature in the car and turned around to take it with both hands. Then, he pushed open the door and left. Not far away, there were airport personnel in white shirts waiting.

The two of them hurried side by side towards the small door not far away.

“We still have to have the necessary procedure records. After all, it’s domestic.”

Xie Ligan’s expression was as usual. He took a very ugly travel backpack from the back of the car that seemed to be a luxury brand. He opened it and showed Kang De the contents.

“Military three-defense laptop, satellite phone, and a phone card to use the maritime satellite network line.”

Then, he took out a wallet with a thick wad of money in it. It was colorful and had a few cards.

“Franc for Comoros, Dalasi for Gambia, and the omnipotent US dollar. These are currencies that can be used when passing through customs or asking for directions.”

Then, there were stacks of colorful notes.

“50,000 dollars, 10,000 pounds, and 30,000 euros. Africa has had its bones broken by Europe. For generations, it has become natural to kneel to foreign devils. The currency of the European devils is very useful there.”

“These are the currency for Central Africa and West Africa.”

“You know this. Yuan is also useful in Africa now.”

“A gold Rolex watch, a gold ring, and gold bars. Gold is always hard currency.”

“Two bank cards and a credit card. They’re universal in case of emergencies.”

There were many things prepared inside.

“There are no weapons. Although the security check on the private plane is only a formality, guns are still useless.”

Xie Ligan asked, “Do you use a gun?”

Kang De slowly said, “The bag in the trunk of your car is filled with gold. There are at least 200 to 300 catties in total. Is this money enough to exchange for that An-25 to land in the wilderness near Comoros and unload the firearms inside before throwing them away and taking off?”

Xie Ligan’s expression froze, “I’m afraid…”

Kang De looked at him. “If it’s not enough, you can add more.”

Clearly, his attitude could not be rejected.

Xie Ligan thought for a moment and calculated the value. This money was converted into dollars. Coupled with the remaining money from Myanmar’s firearms purchase last time, it was enough to buy that plane of firearms and get the arms dealer to delay sending them to that African chief for a few days… Therefore, he nodded and said, “I’ll communicate.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Thank you.”

He recalled something else. “The arms dealers probably sold ordinary assault rifles to the African chiefs… Then can I order another item?”

D*mn, was he planning to raze Comoros to the ground?

Xie Ligan remembered everything Kang De said and did not show any abnormality, “We have to confirm this first. After all, time is limited. It’s very troublesome to unload the goods and even communicate with them. Moreover, it’s related to the source of goods. Sometimes, you have money, but they don’t have anything…”

“Then let me see…”

Kang De searched on Baidu and his eyes lit up. He showed it to Xie Ligan. “Is this available?”

President Xie focused his gaze.

Nola B-52 round 155mm self-propelled howitzer.

It was produced by Serbia.

“…There’s definitely no such thing!”

Xie Ligan’s expression was subtle, and his tone became more intense, “They’re doing a small business. Heavy firepower is at most one level in a row… Moreover, this is very expensive!”

Seeing Xie Ligan’s expression, which did not seem to be fake, Kang De thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. He nodded and said, “Alright, ask them what they have. I want a large-caliber heavy machine gun. The autocannon is better. I want a rocket launcher, mortars, the more the better, and an automatic grenade launcher… I don’t know the exact model, but as long as they have it, I’ll take as many as they have.”

“…Alright, I’ll ask.”

“In addition, I need a map of the local area, not the kind on Google. I want it to be more detailed.”

“It’s in the laptop.”

“Can you see where the French military base is?”

“…I should be able to.”

“Alright. Also, help me find an interpreter who can be contacted at any time. He has to be from a foreign country.”

“Serbia has talent in that aspect. They have a tight mouth and a tight mouth. They’re professional and know Chinese, Swahili, and French. It’s enough to handle almost all communication situations.”

“Thank you.”

“…It’s nothing.”

The relationship between the two of them was actually very strange and conflicted. It could not be called friendly at all. It could even be said to be hatred. Ever since Xie Ligan heard that something had happened to Kang De’s father, he had begun to prepare as soon as possible. He was not thinking for him, but he was afraid that Kang De would vent his anger. That was all.

“But in the end, I have to thank you.”

Kang De looked ahead. “You’ve prepared very carefully this time. I don’t want to say much about the past. I only want to say that you’ve done very well this time. If you continue to be so smart in the future, we’ll be fine. You’ll definitely obtain more than you lose. That’s it.”

In his vision, the driver and the airport personnel had already hurriedly returned.

Xie Ligan asked, “This is Xiao Song. Do you want him to accompany you? I mean Belgrade.”

“There’s no need.”

“Alright then.”

“Mr. Kang.” Seeing Kang De roll down the window, he said, “Everything is ready.”

Kang De put away the wallet, put on his watch, and took the satellite phone. Then, he picked up his bag and stretched out his hand to Xie Ligan. The latter was first surprised, then shook his hand.

“Goodbye.”

“Have a safe trip.”

The staff member smiled and said, “Mr. Kang, please follow me. We’ll carry out a safety check from the private air terminal and take the ferry to send you to the car.”

“Thank you.”

The journey was smooth and fast. As expected, the security check on a private plane was only a formality. As long as there were no dangerous items, everything was fine. In the private terminal, the ferry drove into the extremely wide airport. Planes were moored everywhere and people came and went. Xie Ligan’s Gulfstream G650 was quietly parked.

Two drivers, four flight attendants, and a total of six crew members were waiting there.

Four flight attendants… Xie Ligan was really…

“Welcome aboard, Mr. Kang. I’m the captain of this flight…”

After the routine introduction, the flight attendants were as beautiful as flowers. Their smiles were gentle and appropriate, exquisite and beautiful. It was said that they liked to fly such a private plane the most. They were not tired, the quality of the passengers was high, and they had money. Even if nothing happened, it would be an interesting journey.

After the last flight attendant introduced himself, Kang De said to the purser, “I’m sorry, I’m tired now. If I want to be alone, I don’t need your service. You can give yourself a break.”

He took out a stack of money from his backpack and casually stuffed it into the other party’s hand. “Go play with your family for a few days…”

“Mr. Kang, you don’t have to…”

Kang De glanced at her. “Take it. If you have any questions, ask Xie Ligan.”

Then, he walked up the escalator of the plane on his own. The purser was stunned on the spot with the stack of money. Kang De’s irrefutable glance earlier froze her on the spot. She did not even know why she was afraid.

“Alright, captains, it happened so suddenly. Sorry to trouble you.” The two pilots boarded the plane and heard Kang De say, “As I just said, I’m very tired and want to rest. If necessary, please don’t disturb me in the guest cabin, okay? I’m angrier when I wake up.”

“…Of course.”

“Thank you.”

The pilot entered the cabin, and Kang De sat down on the sofa bed of the Gulfstream plane and let out a long sigh. The interior of the cabin was luxuriously decorated, the first experience of his life, but he was not in the mood. After all, this was not a leisurely and beautiful journey.

If possible, he would rather hang himself on the launcher of the supersonic fighter than lie not far away in this luxurious private plane—if he could reach his destination earlier.

He waited until the plane slid across the runway, queued, and took off. When the Gulfstream soared in the air, Kang De stood up, entered the toilet, and locked the door.

After confirming the spatial anchor, he activated his ability and transmigrated back to the white fog world.
