Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

326 Pfft

When Irina replayed the video of her phone again and again, Cole was already excitedly holding his phone and quickly pressing it. His hand was moving at an incredible speed.

He wanted to share this with the entire world.

“Hey, guys, you definitely can’t imagine what I filmed in Comoros! A real Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and whatever you think… I swear it’s true! It’s not special effects, a movie, or any f*cking marketing! It’s true! Real news!”

“This scene reminds me of that local war movie with almost a billion US dollars in box office earnings in China! Hey! Hollywood! Hey! Marvel! Are you sure you don’t want to invite this brother to act?”

“I announce that from today onwards, my idol will become this Chinese martial arts master!”

Three tweets and three images were naturally not very clear images taken with his phone.

The first paragraph was a spectacular scene of the Moroni Palace collapsing with a bang and smoke rising everywhere.

The second part was in a street chase surrounded by three carts. Kang De grabbed the frame and threw himself out of the driver’s seat. He sniped and killed two carts of people in a row before jumping back into the driver’s seat.

The third paragraph was the most exciting. Facing the sudden RPG, the Hummer drifted and swung its tail. It lowered the window and allowed the rocket that could blow the entire car and everyone in it to pieces to rush in from the left window and fly out from the right window. The Hummer continued to drift and circle. The cold and powerful Chinese man had a firm expression and was fearless. He fired with shocking accuracy and destroyed the other RPGs!

This was too f*cking cool!

After clicking to post, Cole waved his phone and muttered, “Go, go, this d*mned wireless network. Hurry up! Very good, very good. Perhaps I’ll have my pension for the rest of my life!”

The video was copyrighted!

It was not only the few he had sent out. What was more valuable was the stable and clear street chase scene filmed with a high-definition high-speed camera! The high-definition version of those large scenes!

The latter was more valuable! If these tweets caused huge popularity and discussion on the Internet, the video in his hand could only be more valuable!

—I want to hire fake reviewers to hype this up! For the villa and luxury car I’ll live in for the rest of my life!

Money made people calm and motivated. At this moment, Cole’s mind was unprecedentedly calm and his thoughts were extremely clear. He knew what he wanted to do.

The core of everything was the video recorded by the camera.

He quickly took out his notebook from his backpack and took out the memory card from the camera. He inserted it into the computer and copied the video. Then, he encrypted, hid, and suppressed it. He uploaded the video to the cloud and modified the password of the Internet drive… This British brother displayed his hand speed to the extreme.

“Cole! Cole!”

He turned a deaf ear to Irina’s call.

It was not until the reporter pushed the photographer away that he looked up impatiently and saw his partner’s flustered expression. “We should leave! They seem to have discovered us!”

Cole was shocked and hurriedly stood up. Gunshots sounded not far away. That ferocious Chinese man had clearly left, so why were there still gunshots in the city? Where was the battle?

Of course, this was not the main point, and the two reporters were not in the mood to continue filming. They had already obtained an extremely important image and it was enough for them to earn big bucks for many years!

What he had to do now was to leave successfully!

The commotion was already very close. The photographer gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision. He only picked up the computer and said to Irina, “Let’s leave quickly! Before they discover us! I don’t want the camera anymore! That video is enough to buy at least a hundred cameras!”

The two of them hurriedly went downstairs. If not for the fact that the video was still transmitting, Cole even planned to smash and throw away the computer and only run away with the hard drive—but now, he still had to set it to run.

As he prayed to God that Comoros’s wireless network was strong, persistent, and with a good signal, he rushed downstairs with his partner and rushed out the door. However, to their despair, as soon as he went out and rushed left for a while, shouts sounded behind him and the sound of firearms firing in the air.

“Stop! Put your hands on your heads! Kneel! Otherwise, I’ll shoot!”

The two of them looked at each other with desperate expressions and stopped at the same time.

They were not that ferocious Chinese man. They did not have any chance in front of guns.

Cole took a deep breath and quickly pulled open his pants. He stuffed the memory card into an indescribable position. Fortunately, his underwear was tight and quadrangle, he thought.

This was actually not the best choice. He was inclined to stuff the memory card into a safer place, such as a wet, tight, and definitely unobserved place. Unfortunately, that action was too big.

It was not disgusting to earn money.

“We found cameras upstairs! They’re reporters! The memory card is gone!”

Someone shouted upstairs. When they heard this, their expressions became even more desperate.

“You’re reporters?”

The person who had shouted earlier strode over and shouted, “What did you take? Hand over the memory card! Then, we’ll let you leave! We don’t want to cause trouble!”

When Cole heard this, he immediately took out the memory card. The other party shouted, “Don’t move!”

“I have the memory card! Here! Here!” The photographer took out the memory card again under Irina’s subtle gaze and raised it high. “It’s here! Please let us go!”

The white mercenary took the memory card.

Then his gaze landed on Cole’s backpack. “What’s in here?”

“It’s personal, sir. We’re only reporters. We’re reporters from the BBC. We have no intention of causing trouble. We stay neutral. We don’t report things we shouldn’t say…”

Unfortunately, as a photographer, Cole’s acting skills were not good. The vigilant mercenary saw at a glance what he was hiding and immediately reached for his bag. “Give it to me!”

“No! No! This is very important! Please don’t take it away!”

This was not a computer, perhaps tens of millions of pounds. On impulse, Cole subconsciously fought for it until the other party raised his gun. “Shut up! Idiot!”

In the next moment, the gun fired and Irina screamed.

Cole’s mind was blank.

The person who was shot was not him, but the mercenary. The other party’s eyes were stunned, then he fell to the ground facing the sky. An imperceptible sound connected. Under the stunned gazes of the two news reporters, the mercenaries quickly fell to the ground. Another group of fully armed people rushed over. The three people in the lead put away their submachine guns.

They seemed to be communicating, but the two Brits could not understand.

However, he could see their skin color and appearance.

Yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair.

—Chinese!

That Chinese ferocious man’s companion?!

“Hello! Hello!”

...

Cole was so excited that he trembled. He associated this group of people with the ferocious driver. “Help us! I… I’m a super fan of your friend!”

Of course, these guys were not Chinese, but mercenaries from Northern Myanmar.

They were hired by Wang Yongzhi to save Kang Jinzhu in Comoros.

The leader had originally planned to go to the palace to scout, but he collided with the lackey who had come to check the secret passage. The Burmese reacted extremely quickly and immediately killed this guy with a silenced pistol that fired subsonic bullets. Before he could deal with the corpse, he heard two muffled sounds in front of the palace. Then, gunshots sounded, and then explosions sounded. In just a few minutes, there was an earth-shattering collapse.

They did not know what had happened.

The leader was extremely stunned. He was shocked until he did not know what to do. At the very least, he had recovered and was about to escape when the secret passage had already collapsed. Helpless, he could only find a way out of the palace. Not long after, he was discovered by the crazy French mercenaries. Moreover, they were fully armed. The two sides began to exchange fire.

The companions quickly reinforced and quickly retreated. When they saw that half of the palace had collapsed and that the enemy had suffered many casualties, the subordinates were shocked and respectful and continuously praised the leader, but the leader was still stunned. He had not done this.

However, his subordinate did not believe him and he did not know how to explain for a moment.

Of course, it did not matter if his subordinates believed it, but if the enemy did not, it was very fatal.

Their group of people and three cars were very eye-catching. The French mercenaries who were stunned by the slap were furious. Without any explanation, they poured their anger on them. This group of people fought and left and had no choice but to abandon the car and escape. After all, the target of the car was too eye-catching…

As for what happened after that?

...

Later on, Kang De had already fought his way out and beaten the French mercenaries until they were terrified. These French people’s fear of Kang De also spread to the “Chinese” mercenaries from Northern Myanmar.

In their opinion, Kang De was on the same side as these guys. Firstly, they were afraid that after killing all these guys, that terrifying Hummer would return. Secondly, they were also afraid that someone like that ferocious man in the Hummer would jump out from these “Chinese”… That would be too terrifying.

For this reason, these northern Myanmar mercenaries who had not carried out the mission smoothly had at least temporarily escaped the pursuit and prepared to walk to another evacuation point. There were also cars there for backup.

He discovered these two Western newsmen as he advanced.

“He said that he knows our friend…” The English master in the team translated Cole’s words to the leader, “The ferocious Chinese man who rushed out all the way.”

The leader’s expression changed, but this was not the place to talk. He thought for a moment and said, “Bring them.”

Along the way, Moroni’s mercenary troops felt a little subdued. It was unknown what news they had received, but the northern Myanmar mercenaries successfully retrieved the car.

“This is it!”

Cole carefully turned on the computer and played the image for the leader to see.

He finally discovered that something was wrong.

However, who cared? As long as he could successfully survive… These people did not know about the camera and memory card. Even if they knew, he could say that it had been snatched away by that white mercenary.

Yes, Cole had already secretly retrieved the memory card and hidden it in a foolproof place.

The leader frowned and clicked on the touch screen to stop the video. When the Hummer finished spinning and drifting, through the window, the person in the front passenger seat looked up and revealed his face.

He took out the photo from his pocket.

His brother shouted, “It’s him! Kang Jinzhu!”

At the same time, Irina shouted, “It’s him! One of the missing Chinese!”

The reporter had done her homework and had occasionally seen photos of the missing Chinese.

The leader’s expression was gloomy. Kang Jinzhu was his rescue target, but now he had been kidnapped by an unknown person… He clicked on the screen and replayed the scene of Kang De shooting.

He did not know the young face, but it was inexplicably… familiar.

Irina widened her eyes and looked. She suddenly said, “These two people seem to be a little… similar?”

The leader’s expression was gloomy and he did not say a word. He seemed to have thought of something.

Then, he took out his phone and recorded this video. Then, he took a few photos of Kang De and opened WeChat.

Irina and Cole looked at each other through the leader. Cole mouthed the word “Father”.

The reporter’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.

—The missing Chinese father, the Chinese son with his unique skills, the killing and speeding on the streets of Africa, the series of efforts to save his relatives… Kinship, legend, drama, Chinese martial arts, exotic style, war background, f*ck! Pulitzer is summoning me!

In City H, China, Wang Yongzhi was still awake.

His phone vibrated. He glanced at it and immediately picked up. “Hello? You were saved?”

“Boss Wang, the mission failed. Your friend was saved by someone else. I don’t know who that is.”

Wang Yongzhi widened his eyes and said sternly, “What’s wrong with you?! Who saved him? Who else will save him? What did you say before? You…”

Before he could finish cursing, the leader on the other end of the phone said, “I have a video and a photo. Take a look for yourself. Perhaps you know him.”

The call was hung up.

Soon, a video was sent over, but it spread very slowly.

“How baffling!”

Wang Yongzhi was extremely anxious. The mercenary had failed and his old friend was missing. How could he explain it to Kang De?

Reaching out to pull open his collar, he took the glass of water and took a large sip of the goji berries. The video was finally successfully transmitted. He opened it. On the street, the Hummer, a rocket flew, drifted, and swung its tail. The car spun. The RPG passed through the car. Someone raised a gun and fired from the window, and the rocket exploded in the air.

“What the f*ck is this, a movie?”

Normally, Wang Yongzhi would be surprised and ask what movie this was. Then, he would get Xiaoman to find him a magnetic chain to download and take a look. However, now, he was not in the mood.

—What’s going on? Are you looking for a movie clip to fool me?

He was angry when he saw the photo taken by the mercenary leader.

A young man’s expression was calm as he stretched the pistol out of the window with a calm and focused expression.

Another photo.

His old friend had a confused and stupid face.

It was another photo.

A young man grabbed the frame of the car and leaned out, holding a sniper rifle in one hand.

There were also people who jumped into the air and raised their guns to shoot.

Every one of them could almost see this person’s face clearly.

He was very young and familiar.

This face was so familiar that he had seen him grow up.

Wang Yongzhi’s eyes slowly widened.

Then…

Pfft!

The water in his mouth sprayed a few meters away.
