“I am Li Guangren!”
“Report, Commander, this is Wang Fuhai from the Anji Mountain Radar Station. I have important intelligence to report.”
“What important intelligence?”
After Li Guangren finished listening to Wang Fuhai’s account, he also found it incredible.
The existence of Superpower Users was truly too difficult for people to accept.
“Wang Fuhai, can you take responsibility for what you’ve said?”
“Yes!”
“Good. I will open a red hotline. Transmit the video to me, and I will dispatch Deputy Commander He Wenqing to the Anji Mountain Radar Station.”
“Until then, you must protect the other party.”
“Understood!”
“Relay my order: have the Mako Shark Special Forces team board helicopters and proceed immediately to the Anji Mountain Radar Station. The mission is to ensure the safety of the person named Yang Zhiwen.”
“Additionally, contact the Jinling State Security Bureau.”
“Then contact Kyoto via the red hotline.”
……
Kyoto, South Central Sea.
At this moment, in the most secret conference room of this highest administrative body of China, five elders were gathered together.
These five elders were the top figures in China’s military and administration.
“Old Qian, what exactly happened that required us all to be summoned?”
An elder with white hair, wearing a military uniform, and bearing a scar near his left eyebrow responded calmly.
“The person we placed in White Elephant Country sent back a video.”
Saying this, the elder activated the projection screen.
The video initially displayed chaotic shanties, alleys flowing with sewage, and the apathetic faces of the White Elephant Country people.
The people present naturally knew where this was—it was a slum in White Elephant Country.
Although White Elephant Country constantly boasted internationally that it was the world's largest democratic nation and frequently claimed to have surpassed China, what was the actual situation? Anyone with a shred of sense knew it was just White Elephant Country bragging.
And slums like the one shown in the video were definitely not isolated cases in White Elephant Country, as even its most prosperous cities contained a massive, densely populated slum.
However, no one present commented, as the video that gathered them all together could not possibly be just footage of an ordinary slum.
Soon, a change occurred in the video.
A raggedly dressed woman from White Elephant Country ran out of a shanty, closely followed by a small, thin man from White Elephant Country.
The woman kept shouting as she ran.
Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but frown. Although White Elephant Country had the international reputation of being a major rapist nation, to dare openly violate a woman's will in broad daylight, under everyone's noses, was quite rare.
Soon, some people from the slum intervened, stopping the pursuing man from White Elephant Country.
Due to the distance, it was unclear what was said between the parties, but the verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.
One of the intervening men from White Elephant Country suddenly threw a punch at the man chasing the woman, landing directly on the chaser's face.
Yet, the man who clearly looked rather thin suffered the punch without any reaction, not even his head moved.
It was as if the punch had merely been a passing breeze.
The man who was struck, however, seemed enraged. His hands suddenly burst into flames, and with a wave, a fireball left his hand, striking the man who had punched him.
Subsequently, the man was engulfed in intense flames, completely surrounded by fire.
The surrounding people from White Elephant Country screamed and scattered upon seeing this sight.
Although the videographer also started running, they continued filming. In the last few seconds of the video, the man who threw the fireball was completely covered in flames and was continuously shooting fire outwards. Every fireball that struck a person or a house ignited a large area, occasionally accompanied by explosions.
The video was not long, but the impact it had on those present was immense.
“Old Qian, what is this?”
“This is a video our intelligence personnel found on the White Elephant Country internet. The moment they saw it, they downloaded it, and soon after, the White Elephant Country authorities purged all information related to the video from the network.”
“According to the intelligence received, the location of this incident is Pulishika in the northern province of White Elephant Country.”
“The location of the Terrorist Attack in White Elephant Country?”
“Yes. The Terrorist Attack that occurred there several days ago was not a real terrorist attack at all, but a riot caused by the man in the video.”
“We will tentatively call him a Superpower User. After revealing his special nature, this Superpower User showed no restraint and began wantonly killing and burning in the slum.”
“The White Elephant Country side first deployed some Police forces, but as you know, the Police in White Elephant Country are generally not issued firearms. A group of White Elephant Country Police armed with wooden sticks were quickly repelled, after which the local Police immediately went to suppress the situation with guns.”
“However, the White Elephant Country Police, only equipped with World War II bolt-action Rifles, also failed to suppress the situation quickly.”
“Shortly after the incident, the White Elephant Country government sealed off related information and the location, claiming it was a Terrorist Attack.”
“Not long after announcing the Terrorist Attack, the White Elephant Country side mobilized the Black Panther Special Forces, but the Black Panther Special Forces were defeated by the target, with no fewer than ten casualties.”
“Currently, the intelligence our personnel sent back indicates that the White Elephant Country side has mobilized border defense troops from the border—a heavy Armored Unit—to prepare to suppress the offending Superpower User.”
“So, what happened in the northern province of White Elephant Country wasn't a Terrorist Attack, but a riot caused by a Superpower User?”
“Correct. And more importantly, although White Elephant Country managed to block the news quickly, we can be certain that we are not the only ones who have received this information.”
“So, the reason for gathering everyone here today is to discuss what happened in White Elephant Country.”
“Let me take a moment to process this!”
“You mean to say, Superpower Users have appeared in this world?”
“Yes.”
“Ring ring…”
Just as those present were reeling from the shock of the Superpower User shown in the video, a red telephone suddenly rang in the conference room.
The elder in the military uniform immediately stood up upon seeing the red telephone ring.
He immediately answered the call.
“Li Guangren, what happened? Did America attack, forcing you to use the red hotline?”
“Leader, the Jinling Military Region has discovered a Superpower User!”
Although Li Guangren’s voice was not loud, it reached the ears of the other four in the silent conference room.
The five people in the conference room exchanged glances, as they had just been watching a video of a Superpower User in White Elephant Country, and now they were being told that China had also produced a Superpower User.
“Li Guangren, can you confirm this matter?”
“Yes, Leader. I can be 100% certain. I have already sent the relevant video to the Confidential Secretariat. The video was filmed by the Garrison Soldiers of the Anji Mountain Radar Station, guaranteeing 100% authenticity.”
“Good, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, the personnel in the conference room immediately contacted the Confidential Secretariat, and soon the video sent by the Jinling Military Region was displayed before everyone in the room.
Watching the video where Yang Zhiwen continuously switched between metal and normal states with his hands, blocked the thrust of a sharp military knife, and dented a Steel plate after throwing a punch, the five of them had to admit that this was indeed a Superpower User.
“I will personally go to Jinling to meet this Superpower User.”
………………………………
Many people gave negative reviews after reading this chapter, citing that if other countries had Superpower Users, it would create competition with China. I will clarify here: only the protagonist has the Space Gate. The reason other countries have Superpower Users is partly to make the authorities more easily believe the protagonist, and partly related to future development; this book will involve multiple Otherworlds.
