I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 623 - 621: Preparing the Barbecue

"Can these people be trusted? What are they here for?" Leng Kai asked.

"Definitely not believers. They claim to be here to observe and collect data. I’d guess they’re research personnel with some sort of national agency background," Wang Ye replied.

Seeing that Leng Kai and Wang Mingxue still had doubts, Wang Ye added, "There are only six of them, and I didn’t see any rifles in their vehicle. After we’re done with our operation, we’ll eliminate them too, so there won’t be any loose ends."

"We came here to... save people, not to kill," Wang Mingxue said.

"It makes no difference. Don’t always wait to be hit before you strike back," Wang Ye said.

"Alright, I’ve assessed the situation. There are indeed a lot of closely packed vehicles here, and many people have come from far away. The cars have been converted into mobile tents. Even though they don’t need food or drink here, they’d still need a lot of supplies for the journey. Each vehicle is crammed with electronic equipment and batteries. Placed so close together, if one catches fire, it would trigger an intense chain reaction," Leng Kai said.

"They’re planning a barbecue; people will gather, and not everyone will participate, but it will at least clear out a large area. We can take action during that time," Wang Mingxue said.

"Including those six, we’re now nine in total. While they’re barbecuing, we’ll detonate the fuel vehicle and set their cars on fire. We’ll take out as many as we can," Wang Ye said.

"This plan doesn’t sound very reliable... We should drive the vehicles out first and be ready to flee. I have a feeling this will attract the Iron Men," Wang Mingxue said.

"Block the exits. Deal with the perimeter vehicles first; we can’t let them escape. We still have more than a dozen hand grenades. We can spare half for them," Wang Ye said.

"Aren’t you afraid of attracting the Iron Men like this? They can teleport instantly," Leng Kai said.

"We’ll be gone before they arrive. Besides, I’ll leave it to those six to throw the grenades," Wang Ye said.

The two exchanged a silent look.

Wang Ye filled a small shoulder bag with six hand grenades and returned to where the six individuals were.

He saw two women in a vehicle, busily typing on their laptops, and two men standing guard by the car door, looking like field agents. Another man and woman sat outside the vehicle, watching Wang Ye with suspicion in their eyes.

Wang Ye said, "We’re about to start our operation. But first, let’s clear things up."

After a moment of hesitation, the woman spoke, "My name is Mitchell. I’m from the Sethiyan Federal Intelligence Bureau. We’re collecting data. What’s your background?" fгeewebnovёl.com

"I’m with the Yin Country’s army, and I have two companions," Wang Ye said.

"Yin Country... What’s the situation there? It’s been a long time since we’ve heard any news from your side," Mitchell said, surprised.

"There’s nothing much on our end. Heisai State is too close to us; we couldn’t ignore it. What about you? The coalition forces have already moved in, and it looks like they’re gearing up for a decisive battle," Wang Ye said.

"We don’t have clear information. Since the internet was cut off, we’ve hardly been listening to parliament," Mitchell said.

"Good, looks like we can kill without burden. How long have you been here?" Wang Ye said.

"Two days. The population here has been increasing constantly. The idea of killing everyone here is not very realistic," Mitchell said.

"We may not kill everyone, but we can leave them disabled, which is better than doing nothing," Wang Ye said.

"Doesn’t matter. We can help, but you need to have a plan," Mitchell said.

"This." Wang Ye handed the small bag over.

Mitchell opened the bag to look inside, then nodded.

"Sabotage the outer vehicles, seal all entrances and, after that, set their cars on fire, and then throw hand grenades into the crowd. You throw six, and we throw six, from two different directions. Once we’re done, we retreat," Wang Ye said.

"Alright, this will be a good opportunity to see how these believers will react in such a situation. When do you plan to start?" Mitchell said.

"Once they begin preparing the barbecue. The crowd will converge toward the center. When you see a vehicle catch fire, start your move," Wang Ye said.

Mitchell nodded and replied, "Got it. You start from that side, we’ll start from this side."

Wang Ye was still somewhat uneasy, but Mitchell saw his concern and laughed, "Don’t worry. We know how to set a car on fire. After all, they say that the agents from the Intelligence Bureau are half car thieves."

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Wang Ye’s mouth. He returned to the vehicle.

He briefed Leng Kai and Wang Mingxue about the Intelligence Bureau’s involvement, and then reminded them that they were now identified as soldiers from the Yin Country’s army before they began waiting for the barbecue to commence.

Indeed, the air became filled with the smell of raw meat. These people brought their families, transforming their vehicles into mobile tents and carrying a lot of food. Some even came with large trailers, where they stored gas tanks.

Now that they didn’t rely on this food to live, they decided to consume it all at once, pretending it was a celebration for entering heaven.

Wang Mingxue leaned against the hood, watching the crowd prepare food. The children were noisy, and the adults carried bags of ingredients and fire-making equipment.

Not far away, many were moving their vehicles, and even more people were heading to the barbecue site. Some greeted Wang Mingxue, inviting her to join them.

The small, already crowded pathways were now filled with people, slowly moving like they were queuing for a concert.

Wang Mingxue was lost in thought when Leng Kai walked over and asked, "Ready?"

"Huh?" Wang Mingxue seemed startled.

"You’re not in the zone yet," Leng Kai said.

Wang Mingxue smiled and replied, "I was reminiscing about the old days."

"The old days?" Leng Kai said with a laugh.

"Look at them, how happy they are." Wang Mingxue tilted her head slightly and continued, "They’re so cheerful together, all strangers, but united by a single faith, treating each other with kindness. Plus, this twisted place lets them transcend worldly needs, as if they’ve found a greater meaning in life... They’ve reached some kind of endpoint."

"You know it’s all a lie," Leng Kai said.

"I just envy that feeling. Many people live their whole lives without finding an answer. Why do they live? What are they truly pursuing deep down? Most people are not troubled by this because they aren’t even aware of the question. They live by the book, following societal norms, and that’s their life done. I think, although He is not a good person, at least these people who believe in Him have gotten something they never had before," Wang Mingxue said.

"A greater meaning..." Leng Kai muttered to himself.
