441 Not the Only One
How should he go down?
The Phoenix Vision was blocked by a thick barrier and could not see what was hidden below.
This meant that even if there was an underground palace, it was very deep.
Kang De found a ground that was not covered by locusts and squatted down. He pressed on the ground and projected his mental strength. The power of the Fire Thief spread, but his perception power spread to the extreme and touched a solid entity.
This was too f*cking deep.
It was not difficult to extract the ground and dig all the way down. It was not impossible to use spells or even magic devices to separate the ground, but the problem was that this would definitely alert the enemy.
Then, halfway through digging, they were discovered. Therefore, the locusts outside rushed in, and the locusts inside pushed out. They attacked from both sides and were insects from top to bottom. Even the insects did not dare to draw such a plot.
Even if he could successfully escape, it would alarm Big Bob and expose his trump card.
Yes, it was the situation of the enemy being in the dark and him being in the dark.
Although he did not know what fortune Big Bob had obtained in the Gambia royal mausoleum or what was going on with these strange locusts, Kang De did not know the situation of the enemy, and Big Bob did not know his information.
Even if everything had been smooth previously, Big Bob's understanding of Kang De was only limited to extraordinary physical abilities, powerful close combat abilities, and alchemical weapons like the Hima Eagle and the Defender mechanism. Then, there was nothing else. He did not know that Kang De knew how to use magic, did not know the profundity of the Fire Thief's power, and did not know that he could head to a sword and magic world at any time. There was power there that he did not understand even more.
After all, in the understanding of that French mercenary, even if Kang De acted like Captain China and was a genetic warrior, he still used gunpowder weapons to fight.
Kang De weighed the pros and cons for a moment and decided to retreat temporarily.
It was not impossible.
If the locusts transported the food underground, they could anchor the food to the spatial coordinates and teleport. They could also arrive, but this method was a little dangerous.
He did not want to discover himself buried in the fungus blanket or blood pool after teleporting.
He should snatch the sample and slip away.
In this world, he did not need to fight alone. There were many people taller than him.
Not to mention anything else, D*mn, before the ancient Imperial Court went to war, it had to distribute money to the soldiers. The motherland had done enough, but it was not appropriate for him to not earn the money of the foreigners after making this trip, right?
He quietly floated out of the city and looked at the locusts hugging a lamppost not far away, deep in thought.
This thing indeed looked like a grasshopper, but its color was relatively different. When he was young, his brothers and sisters in his hometown liked to catch a few to play with. Sometimes, they would raise it at home and feed it straw every day. It was quite interesting to watch it eat. Sometimes, when he caught too many, he would use the grass stem to put on a skewer and start a fire to roast and eat at night. Its head would really be crispy.
Kang De always kept a distance from such activities. Due to his extremely high posture and imagination, when he saw insects, especially those complicated mouthparts and strange eyes, as well as the complicated appendage structure and the barbs on his thigh, he would always think of how terrifying this thing would be if it was as big as a human.
Coupled with the fact that Xiaoman was bad at that time and always grabbed strange insects to scare him, he kept a distance.
At that time, Xiaoman liked to capture praying mantises, grasshoppers, and so on and suddenly place them on Kang De's clothes, causing them to crawl. Seeing that Kang De was so frightened that he cried and was even willing to take them off, those childhood memories were sealed in the past. Now, such things were already rare in his hometown.
Perhaps it was not rare, but he did not have the motive to stroll leisurely in the countryside for a day, nor was he in the mood to carefully find fun in the grass. Now, he would only feel that the grass was dirty.
He did not expect that after growing up, he would actually have to capture an insect that was almost an alien creature in Africa.
Then the problem was, how should he capture it?
Xiaoman had always stretched out her heartless iron hand to capture insects without hesitation. If Kang De was by her side, she would definitely use rocks or something to smash him into meat paste first to prevent this pitiful worm from falling into the hands of the primate female ferocious beast and becoming a pitiful tool for humans to hurt each other.
However, Kang De would not catch insects with his hands.
He pondered for a moment. Bug trap? That kind of thing did not seem to be found in the district.
A moment later, he found a way.
He flashed back to the white fog world and turned around a moment later.
Expressionless, he held a plastic bag in his hand with the logo of the supermarket.
It was a large plastic bag worth 30 cents.
He tore it open, grabbed both sides of the opening, and threw it forcefully. With a bang, the capacity inside filled the air. It fluttered in the wind and expanded into a large ball, emitting an empty sound.
It was said that this was an act that every human had done, especially when they were young.
There were two equally bored souls.
Firstly, after inflating the plastic bag, he tightened the opening and slapped it until it exploded.
Secondly, he turned on the tap and filled the plastic bag with water. Then, he carried the heavy lump and looked around. He was so excited that he was like Columbus who had discovered a new continent.
At that time, it was still good. He could even play with a lousy plastic bag for a day.
Kang De looked at the huge plastic bag and nodded. Then, he observed his surroundings. Then, he flew up and kicked the stone under his feet. The wind rustled as he went straight for the lamppost.
With a bang, the iron pillar shook. The flying rocks killed a few locusts.
The violent vibration sent the swarm of locusts flying in shock. Kang De threw out another piece of pork. The locusts sensed it and buzzed. Kang De had long taken a step and flew out. The enchanted and strengthened plastic bag opened angrily in the wind and swept past like an elf ball, smothering a group of locusts in the bag.
Then, he quickly grabbed the hands on both sides and tied a few dead knots.
The locusts did not react for a moment. Kang De grabbed two more bags.
Seeing that it was about time, they turned around and ran. The swarm finally realized that their members had been captured. A large number of locusts in the distant city rose into the air and flapped their wings, pressing down violently like a snowstorm.
“I've got it!”
Kang De simply took out his camera and filmed wildly for a while as he dialed the number in the country, “I slipped around inside and discovered some signs. I also caught a living specimen of the locust! The swarm can sense the situation of their companion's disappearance and is pursuing me. I don't know their perception and range of activity. I can't bring them directly back to Comoros. This is too risky—do you have any clues?”
Qin Mengjin immediately said, “You can return to the country directly! A top-notch nuclear-defense vehicle is already on standby near your house. The operations team of the National Security Bureau is already waiting downstairs. We can pick you and the goods up at any time. There's no need to send them back to Comoros… Please leave immediately.”
Kang De said, “In that case, the insects will die.”
“Ah?” the liaison officer immediately said. “Please explain in detail. I don't understand.”
The Hima Eagle was already on standby. It stepped onto the eagle's back and rose. Kang De said, “Teleportation can't let me bring living creatures. Apart from me, be it plants, animals, or microorganisms, they have to be dead!”
Qin Mengjin was clearly very stunned. They did not expect this at all. After all, Kang De did not explain this matter, and the teleportation ability was relatively subtle. They considered Kang De's emotions and did not ask in detail for the time being. Instead, they planned to communicate slightly when he returned to the country to transport resources.
After all, there were some things that asking over the phone and in person would completely have two effects.
Only now did these smart people return to their senses and feel ashamed about their intelligence.
Of course, he could not bring living things. Otherwise, when he found his father, he would have directly sent him back.
An urgent communication sounded from the other end of the phone. Qin Mengjin said, “Mr. Kang De, there are no patrol ships in the Western Pacific, but a French Horizon-class frigate parked in the port in Senegal to replenish its supplies has already set off urgently and is swimming in the nearby sea. We're preparing to contact the French government…”
A reasonable choice. After all, the locust swarm would pursue and capture enemies of the same race. If he led the swarm of insects on land, be it luring these guys to other places in Gambia or even the surrounding Senegal, it was not a good thing… Therefore, the sea route was a wise choice.
After all, these locusts did not seem to be willing to go too far into the deep sea.
However…
“French?”
Kang De frowned.
“Not long ago, the French government has already made a huge concession. Before the battle between Gambia and Comoros ends steadily, they should be temporary collaborators we can trust. According to the plan, a portion of the locust sample you provided will also be distributed to the French for research. After all, we can't hide it at such a juncture. The scientific research ability of the West is still commendable. This is a crisis for all humankind, so we naturally have to resolve it.”
“However, don't worry, this is naturally a sale and not a gift. The benefits obtained and the form is all decided by you. The country won't let you suffer a loss.”
Qin Mengjin knew that Kang De had a grudge against the French and persuaded him in all kinds of ways.
“Our plan is to meet in a relatively far-reaching sea. The French will send you to the Second Republic of Cape Verde northwest of Gambia. It's an archipelago country with developed transportation and a good relationship with our country. You can pass through the Amílcar Cabral International Airport…”
“Alright, since the country has already researched and decided, let's leave it at that,” Kang De said. “After boarding the ship, I'll hand the locusts to the French and let them be in charge of transportation. There are a total of two bags. The foreigners can take one bag to study and give the other bag to the country. I won't take their ship.”
Qin Mengjin was stunned for a moment before saying, “Sure.”
In any case, catching locusts was a piece of cake to Kang De. He was not afraid of what the French would do.
Kang De also had an idea for the remaining bag.
Although they would die in the white fog world, he could at least research something.
“Then that's it. Contact the French. I'll fly out to the sea first.”
“Understood.”
“There's one more thing.”
“Go ahead.”
Kang De's voice turned colder, “I didn't have the time to settle the score between the Western Airport and my father with the French. This time, they begged for mercy. My father is fine. On account of the fact that they knelt completely and worked hard, and that they have a common enemy, let's forget about that grudge for the time being.”
“However, there's one thing you have to tell the French.”
“I'm going to the outer seas. The French military ship will pick me up. As long as there's any attack, I guarantee that the Cabinet Government of Paris won't see a living person after tomorrow. In a week, the military and political system and energy logistics system of Paris will completely collapse. It's not that I don't kill civilians, but I just want to see what will happen after the national authorities shut down the romantic capital that's filled with thieves and foreign races.”
“You have to tell the French. Either you hold back and fight to kill me in one wave, or you have to try to see if my words count.”
His cold voice entered the intelligence hall of the Gambia emergency team with the sound of the Hima Eagle flying, echoing in everyone's earpiece.
These elites and heroes chosen from the various countries were all silent.
No one spoke. For a moment, these smart people could not figure out if Kang De's mysterious superpower had increased the threat of his words, or if this language contained strength to begin with.
Then, Kang De added, “Oh, remember to add this: don't say that I didn't warn you.”
Pfft.
Someone could not help but chuckle.
When they heard the threat of superhumans to a world-renowned country that was also part of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, these elites of the Republic felt an instinctive sense of uneasiness and vigilance, and the air became solemn.
However, as soon as he said this, the atmosphere was ruined.
After the call was hung up, the emergency team prepared to transmit the news and apply for instructions. They looked at each other. Someone could not help but say, “Did he say those words… for us to hear too? If he was only being rash, he really miscalculated. He said it to the French, but we're also part of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.”
Qin Mengjin did not even turn around and said indifferently, “Why would he do this in the country? His relatives and friends are all in the country. Do you not have confidence in him, or in your motherland?”
These elites who could be said to be heroes were either scientific researchers with deep theories or elite commanders who had made contributions. At this moment, in front of a woman who claimed to be an idler, they actually did not refute it.
“There's nothing wrong with his words. Regardless of whether he says such a thing or not, since he's already displayed the teleportation ability that contains a hidden threat, no matter what, the motherland has to make preparations against him losing control of the power. In that case, what's the difference between him saying it or not? If he says it, he can still remind the country that he has some threat.”
“He's expressing his goodwill to the country while showing that he's not as weak as paper. Since he doesn't want to stay in the system and took the initiative to develop overseas, we also respect his thoughts. His motherland is his home. We have the same culture and language, so there's naturally no need to say that we agree and belong. The country can give him what he wants, but if the country can't, even if it's the British, Americans, or Russians, I think it's difficult for them to fulfill it. Therefore, don't make a fuss.”
Qin Mengjin tidied up the paper beside her and typed on the keyboard for a while. After sending the email, she stretched. She turned around and her long ponytail fluttered gently. Her eyes were heroic and capable. She was wearing a gray suit with a white lining at the open collar and a red silk scarf around her neck.
She said indifferently, “Moreover, he can't do it… After all, he's not the only one.”
