Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2041 - 2104: Mohist War
After taking a shower, Li Yifei immediately contacted a few people, inviting several radioactive experts from Ning Province to his home, bringing testing equipment to conduct an inspection.
The harm of radioactive elements is permanent and irreversible. Reminded by an unintentional remark from Jiang Ningxiang, Li Yifei was really scared. This wasn’t just about himself but also involved Su Mengxin, and even the child. Until it was confirmed, Li Yifei strictly ordered others not to approach. He even arranged for the women at home to stay in the furthest villa away from his.
Hearing Li Yifei’s words, the women at home, including Su Mengxin, also changed their expressions. Without explaining too much, they hurriedly took the children and hid inside.
Li Yifei hoped this was a false alarm. Fortunately, the relevant experts had already brought the equipment and would arrive in less than an hour.
Looking at his wives, Li Yifei apologized, "Sorry, I was careless."
"Husband, what are you saying!" Ye Yunzhu, who had rushed home halfway through the meeting after hearing the news, glared at him and said, "It’s just a suspicion and not certain. Besides, brief contact with general radioactive substances won’t cause much damage anyway. Even if it’s true, there won’t be any consequences."
"Yes, I just felt my body carefully, and there was no change," Xu Shanshan added.
Su Mengxin, who had coaxed the child to sleep, came out still in her home pajamas and said, "Husband, let’s not talk about that now. Even if it is true, none of us blame you. Moreover, you yourself are a Cultivator. Many of your things cannot be explained by science. The more it is so, the more mysterious it is."
"Yes, exactly, I’m a normal person. If there was a problem, I would be feeling uncomfortable now. Look, I’m perfectly fine." Chu Xiaoyao said, trying to prove to Li Yifei that she was okay by jumping a few times.
Li Yifei pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "Please bear with me for a moment; it will be alright once the testing is done!"
Then, he called Murong Yuanqing to explain the situation. Murong Yuanqing understood and said, "It’s good to test it. If everything is fine, call me again."
In less than an hour, the relevant experts arrived. Li Yifei went to the door to welcome them. The car drove directly to his villa. On the way, Li Yifei had already explained that the black rectangular object had been taken out from the basement by him and locked in a safe.
Before reaching the villa, the experts took out professional testing equipment to start the inspection. As the car slowly approached, Li Yifei looked at the numbers on the equipment and slightly sighed in relief. At least, the numbers on the equipment were normal, even lower than the prescribed safe values.
At the villa, several experts put on protective gear and went inside with Li Yifei to the box. They tested for a while, then had Li Yifei open the box. Upon seeing the odd black rectangle, the testing instruments still showed no response. The experts were relieved, removed their helmets, and told Li Yifei, "Mr. Li, it’s likely not a radioactive substance. However, we have never seen such a peculiar thing before. If convenient, we can take it back to help you study it."
Li Yifei was relieved, thanking them, "Thank you all, but this object cannot leave my possession. I have other uses for it."
"Alright then, we were worried it was radioactive. If that were the case, your family and you would be harmed, and such a large radioactive object, if leaked, could potentially affect the entire Mile City." The expert nodded and said.
Li Yifei replied, "Yes, that’s exactly what I was worried about. But as long as everything is okay, it’s fine. Please keep this confidential because if word gets out, it could cause public panic."
"No problem," the experts nodded one after another, as they really didn’t have the option not to keep it secret. They knew who the person in front of them was—the richest man in the province. Just by coming here, each of them had an additional hundred thousand yuan in their pockets, and there was no danger involved, just over an hour’s drive. Making money this way was almost too easy.
Seeing the experts off, Li Yifei sighed in relief, patting his forehead in the sunlight. He first put the box away, then went to bring his wives back.
It was a false alarm. The women of the Li family didn’t show panic, nor did they complain, because Li Yifei was already scared enough.
Previously, Li Yifei was indeed frightened, but fortunately, nothing happened. To ease his emotions, he called Murong Yuanqing again to explain the situation. Murong Yuanqing straightforwardly said, "I’m in the Capital City now. If it’s convenient for you, bring the object over, and I’ll study it with you. After you hung up, I pondered a bit and realized this thing seems similar to something, but I can’t be sure without seeing it."
"Alright then, I’ll come to you!" Li Yifei agreed.
Upon hearing this, Su Mengxin also wanted to go with Li Yifei. She was going to take the children to visit their grandfather. However, Li Yifei hesitated and said, "How about this, let Shanshan accompany you. You two take a commercial flight, and I’ll take our plane with the object to see Old Master Murong. Since the object’s nature hasn’t been determined yet, it’s best not to let you come into contact with it."
It had already been a false alarm, but Li Yifei still didn’t know if it was really just that, so better not to take risks now.
Understanding this, Su Mengxin pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, if it weren’t for the child, I would have gone with you."
"Silly wife, talk to Shanshan, and I’ll go first. I’ll wait for you in the Capital City." Li Yifei rubbed Su Mengxin’s head.
Half an hour later, Li Yifei, carrying the black box, sat in the car with the Li family driver driving him to the airport. Li Yifei entered through the VIP channel and directly boarded the plane. An hour later, the plane landed smoothly at the Capital City airport, where Murong Yuanqing had already sent someone to pick him up. Without stopping, Li Yifei, with the black box in hand, arrived at an underground facility. Murong Yuanqing was there, and it was only after Li Yifei arrived that he realized it was a secret military base in the Capital City. Murong Yuanqing was there recently, instructing some instructors and imparting some skills.
After a few months, seeing Murong Yuanqing again, Li Yifei’s first impression was that the other person seemed older, really older.
"You’re feeling sentimental, yet I, the old man, don’t feel a thing." Understanding Li Yifei’s mood, Murong Yuanqing waved his hand and smiled, "Alright, carry the object and follow me inside!"
"Okay." Li Yifei turned around, picked up the black box, and followed Murong Yuanqing inside. After walking over a hundred meters, Murong Yuanqing stopped, opened a room, and gestured for Li Yifei to follow him inside.
The room was large and empty. Li Yifei placed the black box on a table and opened it. Murong Yuanqing frowned as he observed, without rushing to reach out, instead closed his eyes to sense.
This sensing lasted for a full five to six minutes. Li Yifei patiently stood waiting by the side. After these minutes, Murong Yuanqing opened his eyes but said nothing, instead extending his hand to place it over the black rectangle.
This time he didn’t take long; Murong Yuanqing quickly opened his eyes and said to Li Yifei, "I have a guess, but I’m not certain."
"Please go ahead," Li Yifei said respectfully.
Smoothing his beard, Murong Yuanqing said, "I once read a passage in an ancient book; the book was called ’Wild Talk.’"
"’Wild Talk’..." Li Yifei repeated.
"Yes, ’Wild Talk.’ I am sure of it. There’s a story in it saying that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was chaos in the martial world. The cultivators’ powers at that time were far beyond what we can imagine, with Great Powers everywhere. The battles between the great powers caused serious destruction, unbearable for ordinary people who suffered heavy casualties. With many wrongful deaths, demons and monsters were born, further making it impossible for ordinary people to survive. At that time, a sage from Mohism emerged, using the treasures of heaven and earth to create a set of weapons named Mohist War."
"Mohist War?" Li Yifei’s eyes lit up as he instinctively associated these words with the object he had obtained.
Murong Yuanqing nodded slightly, stroking his long beard, and said, "Yes, the Mohist War. According to the book, it is an extremely powerful weapon."
"Could it be what I’ve got?" Li Yifei pointed to the black, dull rectangular object that didn’t look like any weapon at all.
"That’s why I think it’s possible. I don’t know much about this thing, but I can help you find someone to ask. He is an expert on the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and also one of us. He knows more about this than I do." Murong Yuanqing said, taking out his phone and quickly making a call, but unfortunately, the other party never answered.
A bit annoyed by the unanswered call, Murong Yuanqing muttered, "That old guy never listens. I told him to learn how to use a phone, and now he can’t even remember to charge it."
Uh... Sir, not all old folks are as trendy as you. Li Yifei muttered to himself.
Finishing with his muttering, Murong Yuanqing slipped his phone back into his pocket. Li Yifei saw that there was a cute sticker on Murong Yuanqing’s phone. Truly... an old child at heart. Murong Yuanqing sighed and said, "Forget it, since it’s not far, let’s take the object and go find her."
"Alright." Li Yifei nodded immediately.
Murong Yuanqing arranged for a car, and with Li Yifei, they traveled to a mountainous area a hundred kilometers outside of the Capital City. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t too remote since many people lived there, but the person they were looking for lived further into the mountains. Fortunately, the roads were good, so there was no worry about not being able to drive in. After driving for over two hours, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. Murong Yuanqing pointed to the green stone steps and said, "It’s interesting that she lives so high up, considering it’s not easy for an old person to climb these steps."
"How about I carry you?" Li Yifei chimed in.
