253 Earth’s Call

Kang De spent the next two days with Xiaoman.

The goods bought on Taobao continuously arrived. He gave the key to his hometown to Grandpa Wang and asked him to help move in because they had already left the city.

They booked a plane ticket and hotel and flew straight to the Xishuangbanna Gasa Airport.

Xishuangbanna Prefecture was one of the eight autonomous prefectures in Yunnan. It was on the edge of the tropical zone and had the only tropical rainforest nature reserve in China. More than ten ethnic minorities lived here. It was exotic, the temperature was suitable, and the scenery was beautiful. From the indescribable era, it had become a tourist attraction.

Of course, Kang De’s greatest reason for coming here was not to travel.

!!

Instead, it was because it was the border between China and Myanmar.

Although Xie Liqian was powerful, if he wanted to resolve the firearms problem in two days, he could only think of a way from Southeast Asia. It was too late for other places.

Myanmar was undoubtedly a good choice.

Especially in Northern Myanmar.

Local forces and ethnic groups were armed. All kinds of drug lords were also gathered here. The famous mercenaries of Northern Myanmar were active here and accepted all kinds of businesses. Using poison to nurture the army and protecting it was the eternal theme of Northern Myanmar.

The influx of special goods in the Golden Triangle, the conflict between a highly autonomous and powerful place and the central government, the conflict between a few autonomous peoples and the main people.. The source of the conflict and unrest had been buried as early as 1947 when the father of Myanmar, Aung San, signed the Panglong Agreement with the various ethnic areas.

By the way, everything else did not matter. It was fine as long as he understood it. However, this so-called Father of Myanmar, Aung San, had been a dog to the Japanese in his early years and allowed the Japanese to obtain the overall advantage of an intelligence guide on the Myanmar battlefield. He might even form an army to directly cooperate with the Japanese army.

Coupled with the unclear strategic miscalculation of the upper echelons of the Chinese, British, and American armies, the British would rather abandon Myanmar and wait for the country to be recovered in the future than let China expand its influence here. They would even retreat to India without informing the Chinese army. The government would accommodate the British and Americans and lose their command. The upper echelons of the National Party would be corrupted and fight among themselves, and they would even resell their military funds. A series of reasons caused a huge defeat.

It caused the Chinese expeditionary army to lose the Kachin Hills. More than 50,000 anti-Japanese soldiers died from a shortage of medicine, the spread of the plague, and the dangerous terrain, not from the main battlefield. Even the Japanese recorded that the entire Hukawng Valley was filled with bones. It could be seen that the casualties were heavy. It was simply a huge humiliation.

Although Aung San was not the culprit, he was also one of the criminals.

It was worth spitting before leaving.

By the way, at the end of the war, this person saw that the situation was changing and ran to be a dog for the British. The Panglong Agreement mentioned earlier was signed at that time. In order to make Myanmar a whole and bargain with the British, Aung San gave the local forces a high degree of autonomy. This thing was one of the reasons why Myanmar was constantly in a civil war now. It was really heaven’s retribution.

Now, Kang De and Xiaoman had reported a day trip to the border and even heard a faint muffled rumbling sound from the other side of the mountains and river. On the other hand, the uncles and aunts were dancing in the square. High and loud agricultural heavy metal rumbled out of the sound system. Some people carried vegetables and rode their bikes leisurely home.

No one took it seriously.

Xiaoman said softly, “That’s great.”

Kang De nodded. “Indeed.”

He did not go to Myanmar and did not personally witness the horror of the modern battlefield. However, he had personally faced the war in another world and had also seen the tragic situation of the poor people who had been displaced under the iron hooves of the elves, and their fates were not controlled by him. They had lost their relatives, their hometown, and even their lives.

Those ordinary people without strength lived their lives step by step. They got married, had children, worked, and paid taxes. Suddenly, war descended. No one asked if they were willing to experience it.

Here, in this country, the people here would never have to endure everything.

“What are you thinking?”

Xiaoman waved her hand in front of his eyes. “What happened to playing with me?”

Kang De smiled. “Yes.”

Therefore, for two days, they walked around this very foreign place.

In fact, Kang De still knew a little about this place.

This was because there was a friend from Xishuangbanna in the university class. Because there was such a person in the entire class and even the entire grade, everyone called him Brother Xishuangbanna.

Xishuangbanna said that they had brought guns to school since they were young and lived in wooden houses. If they wanted to go overseas, they had to ride an elephant to Kunming and catch a train. There were three kills a year. They never raised cats and dogs as pets and only raised peacocks and monkeys. They did not set off embarrassing things like fireworks during festivals. They could buy three grenades for 80 yuan on the market. If they bought more than ten, they could even send a rocket..

Of course, this was purely self-deprecation.

The people of Shaanxi stood on the back mountain every day in sheepskin jackets and sang about the high slopes of the yellow soil. The people of Guizhou used 30 years of Maotai to wash their feet every day. The coal dug out in Shanxi carried a vinegar smell. The royalty of the Confucian Six Arts originating from Shandong referred to driving an excavator. The people of Zhejiang liked their sisters-in-law. The planes and cups used by the people of Sichuan were all perverted. The daily language in Guangxi was mountain songs—These were all self-ridicule by the people of the provinces.

However, the southerners really rode cockroaches to school.

However, the real Xishuangbanna men indeed drank ants soup. They ate water centipedes, chewed flower spiders, and ate frozen blood. Simple dishes cooked in a very primitive style. It was said that the Cantonese ate everything, and it was not much different in Yunnan. In the class of Kang De University, Xishuangbanna was the only creature who could remain calm in front of the Cantonese students—it was equality in the food chain.

In fact, Xishuangbanna got along very well with the people of Guangdong. They usually ate together and often talked with a smile. The latter nodded repeatedly.

This time, Kang De could have called him out to gather. However, considering that he was here to do something shameful and that Xiaoman liked just having the two of them more, he gave up.

“See him back at school.”

As Xiaoman spoke, she asked Kang De, “..Do you still go to school?”

Kang De also looked vexed.

Although the time lever could reverse the time flow of the two worlds, the price was that the time anchor of the two worlds would become closer. If he only used it in class, the cost-performance ratio was too low. Kang De had inherited his father’s teachings and wanted to become a civil servant. To be honest, this profession was not very useful to his current career in the other world.

The greatest help was to let him learn a good drawing technique so that he could transmigrate to the other world and draw the lousy CAD that day to deconstruct the element diagram of enchantment.

“I’m.. not sure.”

He said, “In terms of civil engineering, the knowledge I learned in four years of university.. is actually useless. Be it going to the Engineering Bureau or the Railway Bureau, I have to learn it again when I reach the unit. Books are too different from reality. Moreover, this profession doesn’t help me much, but I still have to learn knowledge. I might invite some private lecturers to teach me some other knowledge in the future..”

They were now sitting in a house in the Dai Elder Village. There were many majestic cuisines like ants soup recommended by Xishuangbanna, as well as ordinary delicacies like grilled fish with thatch, Dai-flavored pork belly, and rice. There was a large table filled with food.

After overcoming the psychological pressure, those dark cuisines tasted good. The most terrifying fried spider tasted like salted egg yolk.

Xiaoman held a cut green mango, dipped it in the chili powder on the plate, and took a bite. She enjoyed the sour, sweet, salty, and spicy feeling and narrowed her eyes. “You want to drop out?”

Kang De touched his head. “I’m afraid of being beaten up. I don’t know what to tell my parents.”

“Then let’s not talk about it for now. There’s still some time before I leave school. Think about it.” She took another green mango and handed it to Kang De. “Try it. It tastes quite good.”

Kang De dipped and took a bite, then nodded.

After sweeping away the large table of food, he paid and left, leaving the stunned boss taking pictures of the empty bowls and plates at the table. The night market here was lined up along the Lancang River, which was also called the Mekong River. It was no different from other cities in the country. However, there were many Dai-flavored snacks, tropical fruits were very cheap, and there were many local specialties. He shopped late and bought many things.

“I’ll take a portion back and the rest.”

Hearing Kang De say this, Xiaoman smiled and said, “Then you have to buy more. Just say that I gave it to you.”

Kang De said as if nothing had happened, “Alright.”

He bought it very late and packed a few large bags. He called an online taxi back to the hotel.

The driver was a local and was very talkative. After chatting, he scolded the local, foreign, and foreign profiteers for causing chaos here. He also scolded the various f*cking developers for building and speculating here. As soon as Hainan restricted purchase, it began. In a night, the price of many buildings increased by half. Not only could the local people not afford it at all, but they also destroyed all kinds of natural scenery. The entire White Elephant Lake had been drained. There were even golf courses built elsewhere. Which commoner knew how to play golf? What a group of dogs.

Kang De and Xiaoman looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Xishuangbanna also scolded them like this.

However, it was still complaints.

After returning to the Hilton Hotel, he brought the bags back to his room. Kang De brought a huge number of Dai-flavored skewers to the incubator in the white fog space restaurant and put them away. There were no bacteria here, so it was easy to store. Then, he went to Xiaoman’s room and spoke to her for a while. Seeing that it was about time, he was about to leave.

Xiaoman looked at him and said faintly, “I want to go too..”

Kang De shook his head in difficulty. “It’s not convenient.”

He wanted to personally go to Myanmar to collect the goods.

The scenery there was clean and naturally beautiful, but it was also dangerous everywhere. After all, there was a war. Although it was not as dangerous as the neighbors who could speak Vietnamese, it was still dangerous.

If Kang De went over himself, even if he was washed by a rocket, he could calmly open the door and leave. However, if he brought Xiaoman along, once danger happened, he would undoubtedly be much more passive, because Xiaoman could not teleport through the white fog world.

When Xiaoman heard this, she felt that it was a pity. “Then forget it..”

Kang De pinched her face. “Go to sleep first.”

“Yes,” Xiaoman agreed. “Be careful. I’ll contact you if anything happens.”

After leaving a spatial anchor in the room, Kang De went to the balcony. Under Xiaoman’s gaze, his body gradually turned transparent and even turned into nothingness, fusing with the surrounding scenery.

The girl muttered, “There are so many tricks..”

Kang De used the Flying Thunder God Technique to shuttle and fly in the night sky. He easily crossed the national border and entered Myanmar.

Although he had negotiated an arms deal in just two days, Xie Ligan insisted that he did not dare to transport these things back to his country, let alone the seller in Myanmar. In fact, when the other party heard that a Chinese tycoon wanted to buy a gun, he almost hung up immediately.

At the very least, with his old face, reputation, and reputation as a guarantee, this business was barely negotiated. The agreement was that the seller would send people to transport the goods to a hidden valley and leave. The remaining payment would arrive later. Everything after that had nothing to do with him—Kang De would take it himself.

“It seems that you’re not lying. You indeed have friends all over the world. You’re very powerful.”

Kang De used a special phone that Xie Ligan had given him. Myanmar had already lifted the Internet ban in the past few years, so he could contact Xie Ligan in a special way. He said, “You can even negotiate such a baffling and random business. As expected of you.”

Xie Ligan’s response was very calm. He was neither flattering nor arrogant. He seemed to have resigned himself to his fate or was still enduring. However, this was not important. Kang De only wanted him to do things obediently.

“You’re flattering me. I was contacted by two intermediaries. Although the other party doesn’t dare to sell firearms to China no matter what, he can draw the line on this matter and the price is high. Why not? Moreover, we only bought some normal weapons. Please forgive us. After all, the time is very short and we can only obtain these.”

Xie Ligan said, “As for this bit of connections and methods, they’re actually nothing. When one’s wealth reaches a certain level, one’ll come into contact with it. Especially when their business reaches overseas, they’ll definitely have to contact these forces who know how to do things when they get money. It’s not only me, but Wang Yongzhi is the same.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Are you testing me?”

Xie Ligan immediately said, “No.”

“Hmph.”

After hanging up, Kang De opened the Google map and confirmed the location. Then, he snapped his fingers.

The Hummer landed from the void.

After a dazzling transformation and reorganization, the Autobot revealed its form. It looked at the quiet and dark scenery around it, its purple eyes turning into searchlights as it looked around.

His tone was very excited, “Is this Father’s hometown?”

Kang De stood beside him and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see patches of brilliant light. The brilliant light gathered at night, indicating that the flames of civilization were burning here.

Behind him were darkness and silence. Looking into the distance, it was difficult to see light.

“No, over there. That’s my country.”

Kang De stomped his feet. “And this is Myanmar.. a neighbor, but this is also Earth.”

“Earth.. Ah, Earth, Father’s hometown.”

The Autobot turned to look at Kang De. Its purple eyes scanned up and down, and the mechanical windpipe in its nose continuously trembled, as if it had observed something.

“Father, the smell of something contaminated on you is even stronger. I suggest you wash up before returning to the other world to prevent the gorilla lady and Miss Leona from smelling it.”

There was a trace of mockery in his tone, “And consider how to bribe me to remain silent.”

Kang De narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.

historical

The Autobot immediately felt a chill and hurriedly said, “I’m joking.”

He hurriedly straightened up and looked around. Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling it. Then, he muttered, “Strange..”

Kang De’s smile turned into a cold smile. ‘Go on, continue acting.’

“Father, this place is different from the other world, but.. there’s something similar. A very strange feeling, a feeling of.. change,” the Autobot muttered. “I feel that something is deeply buried, hidden, sealed.. ancient.. far away.. calling me.”

“A few carts of automatic weapons and ammunition are calling you.”

Kang De rolled his eyes and kicked it. “It’s time to go. Go get the goods.”
