Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

324 New Era Twenty-four Filial Exemplars

“There’s no time to explain. Get in the car!”

After pushing his father into the front passenger seat, Kang De walked around to the driver’s seat and got in. The door automatically closed. He patted the steering wheel. “Go, go, go!”

The engine roared. The Hummer reversed and quickly retreated, colliding out of the palace door.

Turning on the wide road outside the palace, with the Hummer facing the palace beside him, Kang De slapped the steering wheel. The knockoff weapons station on the roof was raised and turned. The dual automatic grenade launcher fired more than a hundred grenades like a fairy scattering flowers. Eight RPGs dragged violent flames towards the palace, followed by three mortars.

!!

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

Air waves surged and flying flames flowed. Kang Jinzhu was shocked, “What are you doing?”

“Give them an appetizer!” The explosion was very loud, so Kang De could only raise his voice, “There are no civilians inside. Don’t worry, I’ve seen it!”

Until now, Kang Jinzhu had still not recovered. Yesterday, he already knew that he would definitely die. Today, Kang De had descended from the sky and brought him out to kill his way out. It was actually even better than playing Call of Duty. The sound and light effect brought about by the explosion and flames was simply shocking, causing him to be in a daze.

He suddenly recalled something and jolted. He shouted, “Where did you get an armed Hummer?! Who’s at the remote-controlled weapons station?”

There were really too many strange things. His obedient and sensible son in his impression could actually kill his way through the Comoros Palace alone. That wife of his who usually loved guns and liked explosions… When he thought of this, he had the expression of an urban soldier king, “Tell me the truth, is it your mother?!”

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “—Isn’t my mother staying in Egypt? Why do you think so?”

“Didn’t she teach you these?”

“How can a mother teach her son this?! Moreover, how can she know these?! Why do you ask?”

“That’s great!” Kang Jinzhu shouted, “At the very least, I’m not a fool who was kept in the dark by his wife who is the King of Mercenaries and his mutant son for 20 years!”

From the beginning until now, Horus had not spoken. This was its agreement with Kang De. With Kang Jinzhu approaching, the Transformer was actually a little uneasy, because it did not know what expression to face its father’s father with. Therefore, he begged Kang De in advance to get used to it.

This was easy. To Kang De, it was only pretending to drive. In any case, Horus would do the driving himself. Kang De only needed to pretend to be the Racing God of Mount Haruna.

He shouted, “Let’s not talk about this. Put on your seatbelt. We should…”

“—Wait!” Kang Jinzhu looked in the direction of the palace and seemed to have seen something. Then, he asked Kang De, “Do you have an RPG here?”

“What for?”

“Give it to me! It’s useful!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the back seat of the car rang.

Kang Jinzhu turned around. A loaded RPG was leaning against the car seat. There was actually a sight.

He did not have the time to think carefully. He immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car. He reached out and took it. Then, he climbed to the roof of the car and stabilized himself in a half-kneeling posture. He aimed at a spot in the palace and pulled the trigger. Flames danced, and a rocket-propelled grenade whistled into a room on the fourth floor of the palace, sweeping up intense flames and air waves.

Kang De did not stop him. His father had already been saved. Delaying for dozens of seconds was nothing. He could do anything. It did not matter even if he wanted to burn the entire Comoros. What was an RPG to calm his nerves?

As he warmed up and activated the wrist guard, preparing to protect his father with a defense spell at any time, he looked at the bullet point to see which b*stard had attracted such hatred. Wherever his gaze landed, he was stunned. There were no windows in that room. It was the room where his father had been previously.

In the next moment, the RPG accurately blasted in.

—You’re so vengeful?

Kang Jinzhu was satisfied. He jumped out of the car and quickly flashed into the driver’s seat. With a successful expression, he pushed Kang De’s arm. “Let’s go, let’s go! They’re about to chase out!”

Kang De stepped on the accelerator lightly. Horus understood and began to accelerate with a bang. After driving for dozens of meters, Kang De felt that something was wrong. He turned to look at his father. “What’s in the room?”

Kang Jinzhu looked ahead and was even more serious than if he was driving himself. “That Frenchman punched me and I gave him an RPG. We’re even.”

“No!” Kang De shouted. “You’re not that vengeful… You’re destroying something, right?”

Kang Jinzhu reprimanded, “Don’t speak and focus on driving!”

As expected, there was a tacit understanding between father and son. At this moment, Kang De was in the super state of “saving his father”. His mood, thoughts, and complaints had greatly increased. In a flash, he thought of the correct answer.

He shouted, “There’s a will written for me and my mother, right?”

“Bullsh*t! No! What will? Are you asking for a beating?!”

Although he said this, the proud smile on his lips betrayed his father.

“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”

Kang De beat his chest and stomped his feet. He only hated himself for reacting too slowly and losing the key mission item that would forever establish his family’s status in the future. He said angrily, “Why did you do this?! Isn’t it good to let my mother and I experience the pure and sincere kinship from you?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of explosions sounded from behind. The two of them saw the scene of half of the palace’s barely majestic and magnificent main building collapsing through the rearview mirror. Flames surged and explosions sounded everywhere.

Kang Jinzhu was shocked. “Why did it collapse just like that?”

“—Of course it collapsed after being beaten up. Don’t change the topic!”

“Nonsense! I designed this building! If you want to collapse, you have to use heavy cannons!”

The repair and expansion of the Comoros Palace was Kang Jinzhu’s confident work and could even be printed on his business card. He did not expect it to collapse just like that. Witnessing all this, Engineer Kang felt a subtle pain in his face.

Kang De naturally knew what was going on.

His family had learned a lot and had been influenced by his father.

When he was young, his father taught him a lot of relevant knowledge. However, architectural structure knowledge was boring. Even university students would fall asleep from learning, let alone children. Therefore, Kang Jinzhu had no choice but to use a fun method to teach his son patiently and through another train of thought.

—Child, this is called a load-bearing structure. Look, this is the model of the house. When we take down the load-bearing structure and dismantle it, with another shake, the house will explode and collapse. Isn’t it magical?

—The foundation was very important. If the foundation was not built well, it would be like this if it was tilted, inclined, or shallow… Wow, was it very powerful?

As expected, humans were creatures with the element of destruction in their bones. They had forgotten a lot of the knowledge their father had taught them when they were young, but they remembered the knowledge of demolishing houses very clearly.

As a result, now, the load-bearing structure and fragile nodes were simply perfect.

Before entering the palace and rescuing his father, he had considered the problem of how to escape. He had destroyed a few load-bearing structures in advance. Of course, they were not so important parts.

Those places had been destroyed, and the main body of the building would not immediately collapse. It could even maintain its strength for a period of time, provided that it was not affected by a powerful external force.

For example, earthquakes, artillery fire, and artillery fire with extremely clear intentions.

—Therefore, this was f*cking designed by Father. I was wondering how to find someone.

...

Kang De laughed in his mind, but he mocked, “Wonderful, wonderful. My son took advantage of the war to tear down the tofu-like project I did to prevent things from happening in the future and make your reputation go to waste. I don’t even have to go to jail now. I can push it to the irresistible factor of war. Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re really too filial. This matter can be recorded in the Twenty-four Filial Exemplars of the new era.”

“Shut up!”

The Hummer sped along the street of Moroni. The sound of father and son bickering lingered in the air.

In the direction of the palace, on the other side of the southwest, the mercenaries from Northern Myanmar heard the gunshot, followed by the order of the leader. They were on the way to receive him when they suddenly saw half of the tallest and most eye-catching iconic building of Moroni collapse with a bang, raising dust into the sky.

The mercenary convoy stopped. Everyone looked at that rare scene and heard the remaining explosions in their ears. They revealed stunned expressions.

The young man who had talked back to the leader opened his mouth, and the cigarette in his mouth fell onto his pants.

He hurriedly ordered the driver to speed up and shouted through the walkie-talkie, his voice filled with excitement, “Brother! I shouldn’t have said this earlier! You’re too powerful! Our team’s name is going to shock the entire mercenary world!”

“—Call me sir! What the f*ck are you talking about? The secret passage has collapsed! Come in and receive us!”

Dust danced in the palace in chaos.

Little Bob Burroughs sat up unsteadily with the suitcase he treated as a treasure.

He was on the other side of the palace, so he was not pressed down. A large amount of dust danced in the air and choked him a few times. Burr reached out and waved away the dust in front of him, shouting, “Where is he?! Bernard!”

...

His loyal subordinate rushed over. He was in a sorry state and his beard was covered in dust.

“Sir! We’re under attack!”

“Nonsense!” Burroughs was furious and roared at Bernard. There was a trace of fear in his voice that even he did not realize. “Tell me something I don’t know!”

“It’s an armed Hummer! A Hummer rushed into the palace and saved the Chinese!”

Bernard reported simply, “Sir, we suffered heavy losses! The casualties can’t be counted! Many people are pressed under the palace!”

However, Little Bob no longer cared about the second half.

Hummer.

The officer had reported the attack on the king’s mausoleum last night.

An armed Hummer rushed into the camp and fired at everyone with exaggerated and dense terrifying firepower.

Before this, a terrifying enemy had silently sneaked into the tomb and started a massacre. In the end, everyone in the camp was gone. They could not be seen alive or dead.

Now, this Hummer appeared again.

Similarly, someone quietly sneaked in and saved Kang Jinzhu.

In a flash, these two things were connected, and many mysteries suddenly became clear. Little Bob jolted and realized that fate had played a huge joke on him.

This mysterious and powerful enemy was here to save Kang Jinzhu!

“…Deploy the drone! Monitor the route of that Hummer! Call all the patrol and guard troops in the city! Order them to intercept at all costs!”

Little Bob’s expression was ferocious as he grabbed his subordinate’s collar. “Then, find me a car that can drive! Then, bring me away from this city in the opposite direction to the airport! To the f*cking airport! Apart from you, don’t let anyone know about this! Hurry up and do it!”
