Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Crying with Joy
Kasa and I walked side by side.
Taking into consideration that we had just escaped from the enemy's lair and had shared a common hardship, the soldiers were considerate enough to help us cut away the grass and bushes that were blocking the way.
Kasa would look at me sideways every time he walked, and his eyes were quite subtle and complicated. He wanted to speak but stopped himself many times.
I was already feeling sick to my stomach from being elbowed several times by Angsa, and being stared at like that made me even more sick. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'll destroy your glands."
"Uh—" Kasa's expression became even stranger, and he said in a subtle tone, "Don't you know? The smell of your pheromones is almost pickling you."
I was immediately nauseated. The nausea kept rising, and I simply leaned against a tree and started retching, "Yue!"
Although I took the medicine in advance, it was a newly developed drug that had not been tested much, and the duration of its effect was uncertain.
The feeling brought to me by the strong effect of the drug in those few minutes has become a psychological shadow in me. When I think about the fact that in that short period of time I was close to Ansa's gland and really wanted to bite it, I feel even more disgusted.
Ah, Angsa, you must die! You must die! If you can't die today, you must die tomorrow!
I was almost done retching, so I leaned weakly on Kasa's shoulder and she supported me as I walked back.
At least Kasa remembered that I saved his life, and he didn't give me a cold face. Instead, he willingly helped me walk.
Her movements were very skillful, and it seemed that she had carried her comrades like this many times in the past.
It was boring just walking around like that, so I just picked up some random topic to chat about, "Do you often walk with your comrades like this?"
"Yeah." Kasa nodded and held my body in place effortlessly.
"Their legs are broken?"
Kasa glared at me and said, "Can't you say something nice? I'll break your legs."
"Wow, I'm so scared."
So I paused for three seconds.
Three seconds later, I continued to act like a jerk, "Aren't there enough military doctors in the military zone? Do you still need to do it yourself?"
This time, Kasa didn't answer me, but just looked down at the road in silence.
Just when I thought the silence would continue, Kasa spoke again.
She said: "Ever since the last incident of shrapnel made of a special substance, it has been happening."
Here they come again, shrapnel made of special substances.
She and I both fell silent, lowered our heads and focused on the road, occasionally avoiding the mosquitoes around us.
We have already tested Angsa and it turns out that the first shrapnel was indeed dropped in Baideng Bay.
But why? Back then, mines hadn't even been invented yet, and deliberately dropping shrapnel would only cause greater casualties on the battlefield.
Because...
When I think of the tens of thousands of people who died in the slums, I find it funny.
Is it because there are too many alphas?
Or do you want to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose?
After a long period of thinking, I finally returned to the military camp.
Sergeant Guqijia had just arranged for a military doctor to be assigned to me when a soldier came to report that he had captured an undercover insurgent. However, the insurgent put up a fierce resistance and soon committed suicide by biting the drug hidden in his teeth.
After the soldier reported, he also handed the report to her.
Sergeant Guqijia clutched the report in his hand, and his icy gaze suddenly pierced me. "You let someone arrest you without permission?"
I opened my clothes to let the military doctor apply medicine to my abdomen. After hearing her questioning, I simply admitted, "Yes, I was arrested."
Without waiting for her to get angry, I continued, "If it weren't for the undercover agent lurking next to you, Kasa and I would never have been captured by the rebels."
"Heh, have you ever thought that there's something wrong with your people?" Gu Qijia sneered.
I raised my eyes, my gaze just as cold. "You can't wait until something goes wrong before you think of isolating all the other suspicious people."
The sudden cooling of the atmosphere made Kasa, who was originally in a relaxed state, straighten his back all of a sudden, cross his arms over his chest and look at me with a warning look.
Even the military doctor's hand, which was applying medicine to me, was suspended in mid-air, motionless.
I continued to look Sergeant Guchiga in the eye and said, "Sergeant Guchiga, you were the ones who were deceived by the undercover agents in the beginning, so I brought my men here to help you search for clues to your disappearance."
"What good would it do them if my people revealed my whereabouts? If I die, they'll be suspects. This is a military zone, not Uptown. No one will listen to their explanations. If the rebels are so pleased, they might even ask you to pack them up and send them away as a prize."
"It was you, Sergeant Guchiga. Only a few of us knew that I handed my brother over to you. Ali and the others didn't know. But the news leaked out. Guess who leaked it?"
Guchika: ...
She had a blank expression on her face and looked down at the report in her hand.
The report showed that the undercover agent captured was one of the soldiers she sent to protect Bai Wuyin.
"Now, we should talk alone, Sergeant Guchiga," I said.
The military doctor treated my injuries as quickly as possible, then picked up the medicine box and left in a hurry.
"Go to my office..."
"Let's talk here." I tapped the table with my finger. "Even your most trusted soldier is an undercover agent sent by someone else. How can you guarantee that there aren't any bugs in the office?"
Sergeant Guqiga was stunned and his eyes became even colder.
So the three of us found our seats, sat down, and looked at each other.
After three seconds of silence, I spoke first, picking out some unnecessary parts and briefly recounting the story of Angsa and Baideng Bay.
After hearing almost the whole story, Kasa's eyebrows knitted together, "What on earth is in the mine? Why is Baidengwan so determined to fight for ownership with the rebels?"
I opened my mouth and said, "The things in the mine are special substances."
"Sizzle—"
Kasa stood up suddenly. "So, White Light Bay and the rebels are fighting over... That's not right. With the moral integrity of White Light Bay, there's no way they'd have discovered such a lethal weapon only now, and they're even willing to offer to share ownership equally with the rebels."
"And this substance is incredibly strange. Especially its effect on the alpha, it's practically destroying the entire human body!"
I nodded. "Of course this isn't the first time we've seen something like this in Baideng Bay."
"In fact, the first shrapnel dropped on you was done by Baidengwan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sergeant Guchiga drew his gun and pointed it at me. "Reactionary remarks?"
I shrugged. "You're going to shoot me? Because I told the truth?"
"If Onsa really had enough ore to launch a bomb made of ore, why did he take it out only now, instead of taking it out early in the morning and catching everyone off guard? You've seen the destructive power of this thing on alphas. No one can stop it, and 99% of the people in the barracks are alphas."
Sergeant Guqijia retorted sharply, "The general was present when the special substance was first discovered. Could it be that Baidengwan would attack the general?"
"Because the general was here, they only used small-scale thermal weapons!"
Kasa retorted, "We're fighting for White Light Bay! Perhaps the rebels haven't mastered the ore development process, so they've been trying to deliver it with small thermal weapons lately."
I immediately exclaimed, "Wow! You know the rebels aren't very experienced in this area, so you're partnering with White Light Bay. One for technology, the other for peace!"
"Bang!"
Sergeant Guchiga opened fire.
This sudden shot ignited my anger. "So you know there are doubts in this whole incident, right?"
"The rebels have already occupied half of the southwest, but this sudden mine has confined you to the perimeter, forcing you to resort to sneak attacks and other such tactics every day!"
"Why did Katsuna disappear after discovering the special substance? With so many people patrolling the entire military camp, how could Katsuna disappear without anyone noticing?" I demanded harshly. "If it's because of an undercover agent, then which side did the undercover agent come from? The rebels, or White Light Bay? If it was the rebels who kidnapped Katsuna, then why didn't they mention Katsuna's disappearance during the negotiations at the mine, and why didn't the information from White Light Bay mention it either?"
"If the rebels really had the guts to kidnap Katsuna at the base, why didn't they just use the thermal weapons made from the ore to blow up the barracks? Then you and White Light Bay wouldn't be able to react, and they could seize the opportunity to take over the entire southwest."
The pain in my abdomen and the long lines made me breathless and sweaty, but I still held my neck and looked directly into Sergeant Guchiga's eyes, speaking clearly: "Even a senator like me who doesn't fight in wars understands this, Sergeant Guchiga, why don't you understand it?"
Doesn’t Sergeant Guchiga know about the suspicious circumstances surrounding Kathryn’s disappearance?
Of course she knew. How could a titled sergeant, who had risen from the Keya District to become a powerful figure in the military district, not know? It was precisely because she knew that she accepted the investigation by the senator from Ascending City and even released the people brought by the senator.
As a sergeant, she must have reported the issue to her superiors after the first appearance of special substance shrapnel. But she received no answers. Soon after, the mines appeared, and Katsuna disappeared. The rebels and White Light Bay repeatedly negotiated and explored the mines.
Today, the news of Kasa and I's secret operation has been leaked and is full of doubts.
My breathing gradually calmed down, and my tone also slowed down. "Sergeant Guchiga, as the representative of Ascend City, I will definitely attend the negotiations at 7 o'clock tonight."
"Let's see, is the undercover agent who passed false information to Kasa and indirectly caused the general's disappearance from the rebel party or Baideng Bay?"
Guchika: ...
She slowly closed her eyes, exhaled a heavy breath from her chest and abdomen, then opened her eyes and put the pistol away.
She just looked at me quietly for a long time, then turned, opened the door and left the infirmary.
I also sat back in my seat feeling exhausted.
Kasa sat opposite me, and the impulsive provocation that always filled youth disappeared, replaced by calmness and composure.
"Are you also going to say that my remarks are reactionary?" I asked.
To my surprise, Kasa shook his head.
She didn't bring up any undercover topics, but instead changed the topic of the morning, "The general is a very good person."
"Sometimes I even suspected that she wasn't the jury foreman's child, but rather someone who grew up in the Keya district."
"If the general hadn't helped me when the bomb exploded, I would have received my pension and returned to the Keya District to become a worthless person."
I didn't interrupt her and listened to her quietly.
"Sergeant Guchiga...Sister, she's a soldier who grew up on government support and often tends to ignore the problems of White Light Bay."
"Especially after she discovered that the general was a genuinely good man, she became even less concerned about any problems that arose."
I said, "I know. I knew her character from the first moment I saw her, otherwise I wouldn't have had such a big fight with her."
When Kasa heard this, he actually smiled.
It was a smile unique to young people full of vigor and vitality, very arrogant and undisciplined. But this smile was inconsistent with her identity as a soldier.
"I've seen your campaign video," Kasa said. "Do the slums really exist? Did over a hundred thousand people really die? Dutalia...that former deputy leader you pushed out, now a member of the Reconstruction Organization, she said the order came from Baidengwan. Is that true?"
She still had that same smile when she asked these questions.
But something else seemed to be brewing in his eyes, something that was very familiar to me. I had seen it in them before when I looked in the mirror.
So I said, “It’s true.”
“Why does White Light Bay do this?”
"After being captured by Ansa once, you've figured it out yourself, haven't you?"
Kasa's smile grew wider, and he even laughed.
This laughter sounded familiar to me. I laughed the same way when I confronted Dutalia in court and was forced to go to the suburbs to claim six bodies.
The joy and happiness came from the heart and could not be controlled at all. I would laugh and then cry for joy.
After laughing heartily, Kasa leaned back in his chair as if tired of laughing, and said quietly: "This is why you took me to the northwest."
"Bai Wuyong, you guys are all dirty playing politics."
I replied, "If my heart wasn't dirty, how could I play with the people of White Light Bay? How could I play with the people of Upward City?"
There was a long silence.
Kasa stood up from his chair and pressed my shoulder hard, "You shouldn't be called Bai Wuyong, it's an ugly name."
"You can call me Bai Wuyin."
"That suits you."
Kasa smiled and said, "Sergeant Guchiga will not agree with you, but Kasa Guchiga will."
"She needs self-respect and honor, and she needs to uphold her own principles."
“She’s very smart, but also very stubborn.”
"She will stop you, but Kasa's principles won't."
