Chapter 108 Choice

The Xijiang Military Region's helicopter landed on a desolate island in international waters. Li Tianran took out a small boat and transferred to it.

The Xijiang Commander didn't say anything to Li Tianran, only silently looked at his back, as if to engrave it in his heart.

Buzz!

The small boat sped away, braving the biting sea breeze and quickly disappearing over the horizon.

Li Tianran turned back to look at the helicopter with the Yanhuang Military Region logo, knowing in his heart that he could never return to his former home, unless his strength was great enough to fully confront a powerful nation.

But if you asked him if he regretted it, his answer would be… absolutely not!

Whether it was homesickness or other, more noble sentiments, to Li Tianran, nothing was as close as genuine family and friends.

Home is definitely not a location in a broad sense! Wherever family is, that is home.

Li Tianran stood on the deck of the boat, looking at the endless sea in the distance, and then at Yuan Wen, who was still lying unconscious in the cabin, and sighed softly.

Hanhan sat next to Li Tianran and asked curiously, "Big brother, why are you sighing when this operation went so smoothly?"

"Fighting a powerful force alone for the woman you love… this kind of plot is just so cool! I've always fantasized about this kind of scene, and today I finally had the chance to play the leading role in a great drama!" Li Tianran smiled, and then said softly, "It's just that everything I've done, the leading lady didn't see any of it… It's really regrettable."

Hanhan blinked her eyes. "According to the plots in novels, the heroine is mostly a 'trouble magnet,' so there definitely won't be just one danger… In other words, big brother will probably have to save Sister Yuan Wen many times in the future. Are you afraid she won't be able to see your handsome demeanor in person?"

Li Tianran was silent for a long time after hearing this. He touched Hanhan's hair and said, "Read less xuanhuan novels in the future! And spend less time with Professor Nan."

"Hearing you say that, I'm a little scared," Li Tianran said very seriously.

…

The helicopter carrying the Xijiang Commander slowly landed in the Xijiang Military Region.

Many people gathered around, relieved to see that the Commander was safe and sound.

"Commander, our satellites locked onto the location of Li Tianran's boat before, but his marker disappeared in international waters in less than three minutes, and our satellites couldn't continue tracking him," a technician from the command system reported.

From the moment Li Tianran and the Xijiang Commander left the military region, they had been under strict surveillance. Yanhuang's satellite network locked onto the helicopter's position, and even after Li Tianran transferred to the boat, it was still locked by combat satellites. But less than three minutes after Li Tianran and the Xijiang Commander separated, Li Tianran's boat disappeared in international waters. All tracking signals were lost, and he vanished as if into thin air!

The Xijiang Commander was silent.

Yanhuang's combat satellite coverage could almost reach the entire surface of the Blue Star. In other words, when he had just separated from Li Tianran, the Xijiang Military Region was fully capable of launching a medium-range ballistic missile to bombard and kill Li Tianran. But considering that the Xijiang Commander and Li Tianran were still close at the time, if Li Tianran could survive the bombing… then the end result would likely be that the Xijiang Commander's helicopter would be chased down and attacked.

Although the probability was small, it was not zero.

Under these circumstances, the command did not dare to launch an attack easily, wanting to wait until the Xijiang Commander's helicopter flew further away before conducting a missile saturation strike. But before long, Li Tianran's marker disappeared, and the missile strike plan was completely aborted.

"After the world's mutation, many magnetic field turbulences appeared in the world. Maybe he entered a magnetic field area…" the technician explained hesitantly.

The Xijiang Commander shook his head. "The new things that have appeared since the world's mutation have rendered many of our original technologies and weapons useless. Just like this time, the other party was able to break into the heavily guarded command post single-handedly, which shows that the previous view of war has changed. We can't stick to the old ways… Notify the capital to speed up the establishment of our Evolver troops and create new forces at all costs! We must never let today's events happen again!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

After everyone dispersed, the Xijiang Commander returned to his office. Looking at the room that looked like it had been ravaged by a typhoon, he sighed and asked, "What about Fels's body?"

"It has been sent to the morgue," someone nearby responded.

But at this moment, a person in charge of the hospital rushed over. After identifying himself, he came to the Xijiang Commander with a panicked expression, holding several test reports in his hand, and said, "Commander, I have a new discovery!"

"Speak," the Commander said in a deep voice.

"After our examination, Commander Fels's body's DNA doesn't match the data transmitted back from the Kehan Kingdom!" the hospital负责人 said. "But after we examined the bodies of the generals from the plane crash, we found a body with the same DNA as Commander Fels. He was already dead!"

The Xijiang Commander was stunned.

The words that Li Tianran said before killing Fels could not ultimately prove Fels's identity, but they ultimately aroused the suspicion of the military region.

They compared the DNA of the people from the plane crash and Fels, who was killed by Li Tianran, and the results showed that the person Li Tianran killed was not Fels at all. The real Fels had already died in the plane crash!

"According to the data comparison, Major General Fei Yatu did not appear on the plane… The DNA of this 'Fels' who died in the office does not belong to any senior government army general!" the hospital负责人 said tremblingly.

The office was dead silent.

The Xijiang Commander instantly understood something.

With this data, it was enough to explain why the generals' plane would inexplicably experience a riot. According to "Fels"'s previous statement, he was attacked on the generals' plane and fainted in a daze, and then knew nothing.

And because of his high status, no one suspected that there was a problem with him at all.

Now everything was clear.

"Commander, is it possible… that we were really wrong this time? Li Tianran killed the fake Fels and really solved a shocking big problem for us…" A general, in addition to being shocked, thought of a terrible scene. "If the fake Fels attacked the generals' plane, then on the day of the transfer of military power, it's hard to say that he wouldn't make a big move again!"

"Should we reconsider our attitude towards Li Tianran?" the general asked.

The Xijiang Commander closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "The attitude… remains unchanged!"
