I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 647 - 645: The Attack

Greenland, Human Alliance Army base.

Wang Ye sat on an ammunition box, loading bullets into an empty magazine.

Somehow, only loading bullets could relax him now.

At this moment, Wang Mingxue ran down from the nearby staircase, her left hand holding a thermos, her right carrying a thermal bucket, and she walked over to Wang Ye.

"Ginger Coke. Hot." Wang Mingxue placed the thermal bucket at Wang Ye’s feet.

He had grown big now, so he needed a bigger container to drink from.

"You know I won’t catch a cold, right?" Wang Ye said, continuing to load his bullets.

"Of course, I know, I also know that you have less than ten years to live." Wang Mingxue said.

They remained silent for a few seconds, and Wang Mingxue shook her thermos, then said, "Uh... that joke might not be very funny."

"I’ll tell another joke. Maybe neither of us will live past ten years, we might die." Wang Ye said.

"Let’s not talk about such unlucky things. We’ll get past this, I have a feeling." Wang Mingxue said.

"Is your intuition accurate?" Wang Ye asked.

"Pretty accurate. I dreamed of getting into a military academy when I was in junior high, and after I graduated from high school, my grandfather transferred me to the military academy." Wang Mingxue said.

"That’s not intuition, that’s connections. No one’s helping us kill Him." Wang Ye said.

"Enough... let’s talk about something lighter. How did you feel after the surgery?" Wang Mingxue changed the subject.

"At first, it felt like my whole body was in pain." Wang Ye said.

"It should be better now, right?" Wang Mingxue said.

"It hurt until I got used to it." Wang Ye said.

"Uh... you mean, the pain won’t subside?" Wang Mingxue was shocked.

"Yeah, it’s always there, like doing push-ups or sit-ups continuously, constantly tearing your own muscles." Wang Ye said.

"Damn it, why does talking with you always make me feel heavier..." Wang Mingxue said.

"I’m just telling the truth." Wang Ye said.

"I know... I know... Wang Ye, I also want to have the surgery, do you think... can I make it?" Wang Mingxue asked.

Wang Ye stopped what he was doing and looked at Wang Mingxue closely.

"Uh... what are you looking at?" Wang Mingxue said. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"You’re strong, but it’s hard to say, in our batch who underwent the surgery, although the success rate was very high, several still died." Wang Ye said.

"Is there any trick to it?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"What trick can there be? It’s all about luck. You have to undergo four surgeries, 76 hours in total, but for me, it was just like closing and opening my eyes. If you didn’t open your eyes, you failed." Wang Ye said.

Wang Ye’s tone was neither light nor boastful, just straightforward, and after speaking, he continued loading bullets.

"If I can’t make it... damn it... then..." Wang Mingxue hesitated.

"There’s nothing to worry about," Wang Ye said.

"Why do you say that? If it fails, isn’t it just a pointless death?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"Do you think there will be any change after the surgery succeeds?" Wang Ye asked.

Wang Mingxue didn’t react immediately, not understanding his point.

"Aren’t you already a super warrior now? Isn’t that a change?" Wang Mingxue asked.

Wang Ye shook his head and stopped his work again.

He said, "Even if I become a super warrior, I won’t be able to kill Him. I know how formidable He is, Wang Mingxue. I know better than anyone. I know how He kills people, I’ve seen it."

"You say that, are you possibly...?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"No, on the contrary. If He appears before me, I would still charge at him without hesitation, but I know it won’t change anything. This is martyrdom, Wang Mingxue, I will embrace my end without any burden," Wang Ye said.

"Why?! For some belief?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"No, nothing so noble. I don’t hold any beliefs. I should have died long ago. I took a knife and killed six scum, then I was sentenced to death. I should have died that night... but He saved me. Not only did He save me, but He also spared me, time and again... I don’t want to say I owe Him, but I have no reason to live anymore. This world has changed into something I no longer recognize; everything I wished to hold onto has ceased to exist. I know what I’m best at doing—killing. I finally understand why He was willing to help me... He thinks I’m like Him. We are both executioners... butchers... murderers... I am ashamed of this identification. It’s not glorious. I must physically show Him that I am not like Him. I will embrace that death. I will let Him see my choice," Wang Ye said.

He spoke these words nearly devoid of emotion, exceptionally calm, as if he were an observer explaining a friend’s decision.

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"Death is nothing to fear. Death is only a dreamless long sleep. Would you fear going to sleep?" Wang Ye retorted.

Wang Mingxue sighed. She had wanted to talk to Wang Ye about the transformation surgery since he had undergone it himself and might share his experiences. But in the end, she couldn’t make sense of what was in Wang Ye’s mind.

"Maybe I should ask other soldiers from the Demon Marine Corps. Perhaps they will have some encouragement," Wang Mingxue said with a smile.

"Good luck," Wang Ye said.

Wang Mingxue sighed, turned around, and was about to leave when suddenly alarms blared throughout the base.

Wang Ye loaded his high-caliber rifle with a magazine of bullets, stood up, and picked up his helmet with his left hand.

"What’s going on?!" Wang Mingxue asked alertly.

"Red alert... we’ve been discovered," Wang Ye said.

With those words, he walked with heavy steps towards the outside of the weapon storage, followed closely by Wang Mingxue, who drew her pistol from her waist. It might not be very useful, but it was better than being unarmed.

Outside the warehouse door was an upward passage where many regular soldiers were already running around. Through shortwave radio, Commander Lu’s voice came:

"I am Commander Lu, and I hereby initiate the backup plan. All members of the Demon Marine Corps and Superpower Special Department, immediately take your combat positions! Cover the evacuation of the tech crews!"

Wang Mingxue furrowed her brow, understanding the severity of the situation.

Wang Ye, expressionless, put on his helmet, gripped his rifle in both hands, and stood at the entrance to the passage.

The cold wind was biting, and in the pale sky, countless bright specks twinkled. Upon closer inspection, they looked like a multitude of white swords, and a tall humanoid figure in silver-white stood upon those flying swords, looking down at them.

Behind this white figure, in the snowy valley filled with Descendant Soldiers who crowded every trail and were visible among the trees, a murmur infiltrated everyone’s minds:

"I am Alpha, I am Omega, I will provide clean water, generously, to the thirsty."
