The Juxia, the following day.
"The number of casualties in Tianhe City is estimated to be over 50,000, but the exact number is still unknown. All buildings within a radius of about 1,500 meters in the city center have been razed to the ground."
The military speculates that the explosive device was a small, non-radioactive nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons, and that the source of the terrorist attack may still be the alien invaders who attacked Tianhe City last time.
Currently, a large number of returning city residents are leaving the Tianhe urban area...
At dawn, the broadcasts on the Giant Gorge carried chilling news. Staff members were running back and forth, fighter jets were taking off one after another, and many Iron Man warriors were also taking off.
The Super Soldier Company had no missions to launch attacks. They trained with heavy hearts and absent-mindedness, and when they occasionally talked, their fear and panic were evident in their words.
At 3 a.m. this morning, Tianhe City was bombarded by a small nuclear bomb without any warning. Their supposedly powerful military satellite Deno3 global detection and counter-reconnaissance system was completely ineffective.
Fortunately, this was the only time such a baseless terrorist attack occurred, and there has been no second similar tragedy since.
Perhaps we should also be thankful that, due to the damage caused by the battle last October, the population of Tianhe City is now far less than the normal population.
Otherwise, the casualties would probably be much greater.
There were no follow-up events after the terrorist attack, so the soldiers of the Super Soldier Company were half training and half on standby, including Wang Ji, who stood silently by the railing.
He kept looking northwest, his chest barely rising and falling, and his eyes barely showing any light. His hair did not turn white again, nor did he shed any more tears.
The tears were shed by others—Qilin, Du Qiangwei, and some girls. The boys, besides Liu Chuang's anger, Cheng Yaowen's bewilderment, and the anger of the others, were mostly filled with helplessness and panic.
Many people looked at Wang Ji, but no one bothered him. Everyone could see that he was in a bad mood, and no one was in a bad mood either.
Moreover, they knew that even Wang Ji couldn't do anything about such a terrorist attack.
But they suddenly realized, and were even more worried, that this was only the first time. What if it happened twice, three times, or countless times? And the impact would not be so small. What would they do in a city like Tianhe, which has a small population?
"Wang Ji, are you... are you alright?" Lena reassured the other comrades a little, then came to Wang Ji's side, tentatively took his hand on the railing, and asked softly.
His hands were cold; the sea breeze was blowing, gradually taking away the warmth from the back of his hands on the railing. Her hands were warm, and she could feel the coldness of his hands even more.
She knew Wang Ji's arrogance and his indifference, but she also knew his rarely spoken kindness and love for his partner.
In this situation, if Wang Ji were filled with rage, she would feel somewhat better. However, at this moment, she could clearly sense the unspoken pain in his heart and his ashen mood.
"Um...I'm...I'm fine." His eyes finally moved, and although his face was still expressionless, he nodded and looked at Lena.
Lena was probably the only girl in the Super Soldier Squad who didn't cry. Aside from feeling angry, she mostly comforted and encouraged the others.
Unlike Qilin, Qiangwei, and Ruimengmeng, whose eyes were all red from crying.
There's nothing to criticize about that; Lena isn't even from Earth.
Feelings between people are not necessarily universal, let alone the fact that she is an alien. Even if Wang Ji loves her because of her, she still can't cry.
Similarly, if someone told Wang Ji that a huge disaster had occurred in Lieyang, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries, Wang Ji might not be able to cry.
This is simply a simple reality; we shouldn't force it.
"Is there... anything you want to say to me?" Lena hesitated for a moment before looking at him and asking.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions and worry. Wang Ji saw it in her eyes; she seemed to know something.
He looked at her quietly for a while, then gently shook his head.
I turned my head and looked at the turbulent sea.
“Well… alright, if you don’t want to say, then don’t,” Lena pursed her lips, nodded, and said softly, “I just wanted to say that I believe you. But you need to be careful with other people… Of course, it would be even better if they could give you some help.”
You can handle it yourself, but if there are any problems, you must tell me. They might... after all, they are a powerful force.
Lena stared intently at his profile. To be honest, she suddenly felt that Wang Ji was somewhat unfamiliar, and it was a real feeling.
After countless times feeling puzzled about his affairs but not trying to figure them out, this was the first time she was truly perplexed by Wang Ji's situation.
Because a mysterious giant shadow suddenly appeared behind him. What was once just a guess by everyone is now almost certain to be the existence of this huge shadow, which is elusive and hard to fathom.
Although this makes perfect sense.
With so many things on her mind, she trusted him, but she was genuinely overwhelmed.
She remembered that in many of their conversations, although he would often hide or avoid secrets, she could feel that he was sincere at those times, and she admired his maturity and wisdom.
But this incident has indeed complicated everything for him. Just like the things he had frankly discussed with her yesterday, now with the shadow behind him added to the mix, even she felt a pang of anxiety.
He once said that if he wanted, he could see through her sunlight.
She could trust him almost completely, but... just like when she talked to Wang Ji about the Taotie Legion being bombed, now it seemed that his feigned ignorance at the time was not so easy to accept.
