《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 150 : Ximen Yixiong
Advertisement
For about three seconds, Yixiong froze. His body felt stiff. He couldn't move at all. When Yixiong was able to move his body, he turned his head to the left. Yiren's face was very pale. But he seemed okay. At least, that's what was in Yixiong's mind.
Yixiong saw his lap. Songfei's bag was no longer there. His feet felt heavy. Yixiong looked down. He tried to see what happened to his feet. It turned out that the bag that he had previously lapped had fallen under the seat. The object was right on his legs.
The car that had just crashed into their car from the front immediately moved backwards. The front hood of the car looked wrecked. But from the way the car retreated, Yixiong concluded that the car did not suffer severe damage. In an instant, the car stepped on the gas, leaving them. At high speed, the car shot straight along the road section located to the left of the intersection.
"They're running away!" Yixiong shouted.
Many cars stopped. Several people approached their car. Their faces showed both concern and curiosity. Gongxi tried to open the front door of the car. But he couldn't open it. Apparently, the collision with the car had damaged the right front door.
Jingkang looked okay. At least, he seemed not hurt at all. After removing the seat belt he was wearing, the young man quickly opened the front left door. The door turned out to be easy to open. Jingkang jumped out of the car right away.
Yixiong once again turned to his left side. Yiren was still sitting. He said nothing. Rising worry in Yixiong's mind. Yiren looked so shocked. A split second later, Yixiong decided to catch up with Jingkang out of the car. He did not forget to bring Songfei's blue bag out. Gongxi came out of the left front door, which had previously been opened by Jingkang.

The flow of traffic, which was relatively quiet, now became crowded. Because their cars were right in the middle of the crossroad, the traffic was hampered. The car from each crossroad section must run slowly.
Yiren was still inside. Jingkang reentered through the left front door. He tried to open the left rear door. After the door opened, Yixiong and Gongxi, who were already standing in front of the back door, immediately helped Yiren.
Gongxi helped Yiren unbuckle the seat belt that was wrapped around him. After the seat belts were undone, Yixiong and Gongxi dragged Yiren out of the car. Yixiong was surprised because Yiren's hands were so cold. Straight away, he and Jingkang carried Yiren to the side of the road.
The traffic police quickly arrived there. They quickly regulate the traffic that has become congested.
Since departing from home, no police escorted them. In fact, they also did not escort from afar.
Or they are so good that we don't realize that they are watching us? But at times like this, they did not appear. So most likely I'm not wrong. We have been alone since departing from home!
Yixiong was sure that the police were definitely at their destination.
They must have made careful preparations before the handover of ransoms there!
"Could it be an ambush, Sir!" Jingkang looked at Yixiong.
"I don't know if this was intentional or just a simple accident," Yixiong said. "But it doesn't make sense."
"Right, Sir!" their driver said. "Those thugs definitely want everything to run smoothly. Things like this will only hinder their plans."
Yixiong nodded. "This is bizarre. I can still understand why they were following us. Maybe they wanted to make sure we didn't take the police or other people there. But an accident like this?"

"What if it turns out to be the other party?" Jingkang asked.
"Other parties?" Yixiong gaped.
What is their interest in this?
"Isn't it possible that there are other parties who don't want the handover of the ransom to actually take place?" Jingkang said.
Eh? Why does this kid have strange thoughts like this? IIs this what makes him quiet for a while?
"But we have even switched vehicles," Yixiong said.
"If they know about it, it means they have been watching us tightly," Jingkang said.
Is it true that there are indeed other parties who overshadow us? And they are not the kidnappers!
Yixiong was taken aback.
This is really crazy! I don't know anymore what really happened!
Yixiong could only shake his head. He couldn't explain it.
"It's all uncertain. Regarding the accident that just happened, there is always a possibility that the driver was drunk."
Jingkang nodded. "You're right. But we still have to open up to all possibilities."
"This is an intentional or pure accident. We will discuss it later," said Yixiong.
"Now what, Sir?" Jingkang looked around them.
"Soon we have to find another vehicle. I don't want us to get there late!" Yixiong uttered those words in the strongest possible tone of voice.
"Take it easy, Sir! You don't need to worry. Let me take care of Mr. Nangong and this car. Mr. Ximen and Mr. Duanmu, please just continue the journey there, "said Gongxi.
Yixiong looked left and right. Just like before, Jingkang glanced around the intersection. He seemed to be looking for something.
"Sir! There is a pay phone. I went there first to inform Mr. Caihong," said Jingkang.
Yixiong nodded. "Right, you should tell this right away."
After launching the sentence, Yixiong reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper.
"Take this." Yixiong held out the paper to Jingkang.
Jingkang opened the paper. Inside was written a telephone number.
"Whose number, Sir?"
"This is a telephone number of the house right behind our house. Earlier, Yiren gave this number to me. The police gave him when he gave the statement to the police this morning. Besides calling Caihong, I also want you to call the police there. "
"Alright, Sir!" Jingkang nodded.
But Yixiong soon changed his mind.
"Mr. Gongxi, please take care of Mr. Nangong for a moment here. I will go with Mr. Duanmu to call several people."
"Yes, Sir!" Gongxi replied.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
