Yama Reborn-Chapter 573 - 570: The Controller Has Run Off

Chapter 570 [The Controller is on the Run]

Chen Nuo’s guess was once again accurate, making the Son of the Sun very glad that he didn’t make a bet with this guy.

After nightfall, the Military Commander handed over a simple autopsy report on the bodies of the prisoners.

The report concluded:

These five hundred people may not be from the same group. It’s quite likely they come from different factions.

There’s a high probability they were temporarily cobbled together to carry out this mission.

In fact, they may not have even seen each other before the attack started!

In other words:

A target for the attack was set, an attack time was determined. Then, at the appointed time, several groups simultaneously fired from different directions.

·

The reason for this judgment was the autopsy result.

During the examination of the prisoners’ bodies, the Mercenary Corps discovered more than four different local tribal and armed faction identity markers.

In Africa, especially in war-torn regions, hostility among different tribal races is often assumed.

Such hostility is mixed with vendettas, interests, even religious and ignorant reasons.

The indigenous tribes here often have their own religions and worship beliefs, and their behaviors often vary according to different religions and worships.

Some beliefs will have them tattoo special totems on their bodies.

Others, at adulthood, will cut a special part of their body—known as circumcision.

After examining more than a dozen bodies, the examiners found at least four different tattoo totems.

And two differing circumcision locations.

Moreover, this Mercenary Corps guarding the camp was specially dispatched by the Octopus Monster, a mercenary group often carrying out missions in Africa.

Based on their knowledge of the local African scene, they quickly determined: these people definitely do not come from one faction, but are from many, certainly not any alliance.

Because, the tattoo totems alone are enough to judge.

For example, some tattoos indicate the person is from Tribe A. Some circumcisions indicate the deceased is from Tribe B.

And based on local conditions, Tribe A and Tribe B are mortal enemies, ancient rivals who recently fought each other, resulting in village massacres and brutal acts of ethnic genocide.

And the autopsy results show, these prisoners do not only come from Tribes A and B.

But rather, from ABCDE...

"So, there’s a mastermind behind the scenes, separately hiring several tribes and small warlords, without letting them know each other.

Before the attack, they were made to arrive at specified locations, then stipulated the attack time to launch the assault."

"Yeah, since it’s dusk nearing nightfall, they can’t see each other across the camp. After initiating the attack, there’s no need to care about these matters."

Chen Nuo and the Son of the Sun exchanged thoughts on this result.

"Then clearly, the opponent’s target isn’t to destroy our camp, it’s just to cause us some trouble.

After all, relying on several different forces of rabble attacking simultaneously... at most, it’s just a nuisance. Such chaotic and misaligned attacks cannot destroy us. The opponent’s goal is merely to create trouble and delay our search."

The Son of the Sun confidently stated his conclusion.

While Chen Nuo, on the other hand, looked at the old man with the gaze reserved for idiots.

"What kind of look is that?!" The old man was displeased.

"Son of the Sun, let me give you some advice: you’d better not randomly team up with others to execute tasks in the future—with your mind, you’re prone to get played to death."

Son of the Sun: "...Why say that about me?"

"Because it’s nonsense." Chen Nuo sneered: "We have two Controllers here, four Special Ability Users! The mastermind capable of creating this situation to raid us surely has to know this, right?

Using hundreds of rabble to attack two Controllers, what kind of brain damage would it take to set the combat target as annihilating the opponent?

Of course, it’s just to create a bit of trouble.

So, I say, your conclusion is nonsense."

·

In the morning, two transport helicopters arrived at the camp.

The mercenaries and technicians who died during last night’s attack were placed in body bags and loaded onto the helicopters.

Those more seriously injured got on the aircraft too, to be flown to the nearest town for treatment.

The bodies would be cremated and buried. Ashes would be returned to the families by the Octopus Monster Company.

As for the attackers’ bodies... they weren’t given such treatment.

They were just buried in a pit dug in the wilderness.

Watching a dozen mercenaries carrying shovels to dig pits away from camp, the Son of the Sun shook his head: "It’s actually unnecessary."

"Why?"

"Even if you dig a pit and bury the bodies, this is Africa... there are many scavenging animals. They’ll dig up the bodies at night and eat them."

Upon hearing the Son of the Sun’s words, Chen Nuo’s eyebrows raised.

Watching the two transport helicopters fully loaded, Chen Nuo suddenly smiled and said: "Old man, interested in taking a vacation?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Nuo smiled: "Anyway, our aircraft is damaged, new aircraft dispatch, supply replenishment, personnel replacement, it all takes time, at least two or three days.

I sure don’t want to stay here feeding mosquitoes."

With that, Chen Nuo directly went over and jumped on a transport helicopter loaded with bodies: "I’m going back to rest for a couple of days, then return with new supply support."

The Son of the Sun’s eyes lit up!

He immediately rushed over and boarded the plane with Chen Nuo.

The Camp Commander and Military Commander were both baffled!

They’re... leaving just like that?!

But when the Controllers make a decision, who dares to say no?

The Son of the Sun, before leaving, showed some tidbit of responsibility, casually pointing to his lover, the Female Special Ability User: "While we’re gone, you’re in charge of the camp."

The woman’s face changed: "I..."

The rotors roared, and the plane lifted off slowly.

·

The helicopter flew over two hundred kilometers, reaching a town.

It’s not because it’s the only inhabited place closest to the camp—but because it’s the only place with a barely decent hospital.

From Chen Nuo’s perspective, this so-called best hospital within a few hundred miles was probably only equivalent to a small county hospital back home.

Even so, it’s the result of international organizational assistance. Almost all the doctors were foreign aid doctors.

The camp personnel injured in the transport were sent into the hospital, afterwards Chen Nuo and the Son of the Sun left, hoping to find somewhere to rest.

Then they were disappointed.

This so-called town, to Chen Nuo’s eyes, was more like a village.

The vast majority of buildings were either simple shacks or iron-sheet houses.

On the dilapidated streets, kids ran wild, barefoot and kicking shattered soccer balls.

Some kids, no taller than elementary school age looked, puffed on cigarettes, blocking Chen Nuo and the Son of the Sun along the way, babbling in local talk, seemingly trying to sell something.

Luxury hotel?

Doesn’t exist.

Nearby was a cluster of brick-mixed structures that appeared somewhat decent.

However, that is the government organization of this town.

In fact, there’s a hotel here, but Chen Nuo and Son of the Sun just glanced at it and walked away shaking their heads.

It’s not as good as the guesthouses in towns back home.

Moreover, there’s suspicious-looking people going in and out.

"Old man. You better watch yourself here." Chen Nuo warned Son of the Sun: "Africa is the region where HIV is most prevalent."

Son of the Sun rolled his eyes.

It’s obvious that the old man slightly regrets coming back.

This place clearly doesn’t have any fun.

A broken-down jeep drove by on the road, kicking up clouds of dust.

This is the troop of the government army in this town.

But... it looks like they are probably just a rabble.

After wandering around for an hour, the two of them had no choice but to return to the hospital.

The hospital was the most "advanced" looking building they could find nearby.

They couldn’t very well go and occupy the government buildings, right?

After negotiating with the hospital, since they arrived with the Octopus Monster Company’s aircraft.

The director here is appointed by the local government, while the deputy director and a group of doctors are international medical organization relief personnel.

Chen Nuo revealed the Octopus Monster Company’s identity and slipped a few dollars to the director, after which he and Son of the Sun got two dorm rooms.

The dorm rooms are meant for the international medical organization’s doctors and are on the top floor of the hospital, so the conditions are decent.

Although the so-called "decent conditions" are at most the level of an ordinary college dormitory in China, but at least... there’s a bed, hot water, and electricity.

After spending money to buy a clean set of military bedding, Chen Nuo called over the cleaning lady in the hospital.

After slipping her a few dollars, he asked her to help clean the stuff.

The cleaning lady was overjoyed and even as Chen Nuo walked away, she called out in clumsy English, "God bless you" and such.

Very soon, Chen Nuo ran to the square outside the hospital, which was really just an open space.

He smoked a cigarette there and during his boredom, watched a local child walking and gnawing on something that looked like a tree root—it looked a bit like sugar cane.

Curious, Chen Nuo called over the child, bought a gnawed-off piece from his hand with a dollar, walked to the faucet to wash it, and tried biting into it.

It’s just some kind of plant’s root.

The taste is a bit sweet but far inferior to sugar cane, though the texture is quite crispy and the moisture content is decent.

The residual matter was not obvious, and Chen Nuo didn’t swallow, he just chewed the juice out before spitting out the residue.

After munching for a while, a helicopter soon flew into the sky.

Before the helicopter even landed, someone jumped out of it, and as their seaweed-like long hair was blown by the rotor’s air current, the person ran towards Chen Nuo and gave him a waist-grabbing hug.

"Motherf**ker! Did you bring your wife here too?"

From behind Chen Nuo, Son of the Sun exclaimed.

The old man was also aimlessly wandering nearby.

Chen Nuo held Lu Xixi, smiled sweetly, and then turned to Son of the Sun: "I called her as soon as I arrived here to explain the situation, and since there’s nothing to do, she came over to relax for a couple of days."

"We suffer an attack at the camp, so the search stopped. It’s not where she is, is it?" Son of the Sun sighed.

Lu Xixi smiled sweetly: "I was absent without leave; I told Octopus Monster they can consider it AWOL, deducting money is no problem."

Chen Nuo held Lu Xixi as they returned to the dormitory in the hospital building.

As soon as they entered the room, Lu Xixi glanced at the bathroom and cheered.

Then... after exchanging a glance, the two quickly stripped off their clothes, which were thrown all over the place...

And rushed into the bathroom!

To shower!

·

A shower that lasted a full hour!

Don’t get it wrong, they really didn’t do anything, just purely taking a bath.

Africa, this place is hot, coupled with daily work, sweat, skin secretions, and then the bloodiness...

Then, ten days of time!

Under such conditions, ten days without a bath, Chen Nuo felt like he could peel a layer of skin off himself!

For Lu Xixi, even more, unbearable!

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Nuo called Lu Xixi, who was still hesitating—after all, Octopus Monster paid big bucks, is it appropriate to leave without permission like this?

But Chen Nuo just said one thing: "There’s a place to shower in the hospital."

Lu Xixi put down the phone and immediately with the authority of the Controller, pressed the Camp Commander to send a helicopter to bring her back.

Ten days of time, Lu Xixi felt her hair had already stuck together.

An hour’s time, the couple really did nothing, just desperately scrubbed themselves.

The two used up a third of a bottle of shower gel, and an hour later, they came out of the bathroom with their skin all red from scrubbing, feeling comfy.

An electric hairdryer was not available.

But Lu Xixi directly used her special ability to dry her hair, and then...

The two had another pleasant hour in the room.

·

When Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi walked out of the room again and appeared in front of Son of the Sun, it was in the hospital’s cafeteria.

The cafeteria provides food, although it’s originally only for the international medical organization’s doctors in the hospital, Chen Nuo used money to open the way and got three passes for eating there.

The food was average, but the portions were ample, both meat and vegetables.

Son of the Sun boredly poked at the food on his plate, unable to resist complaining, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have come back here to relax. You brought your wife here to accompany you. I wanted to find some fun here, but this town turned out to be such a hellhole!"

Chen Nuo was too lazy to exchange words with this old pervert, dug into his food, filled his belly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Son of the Sun’s displeased expression, Chen Nuo shook his head: "Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you picked the wrong nickname. You’re not really Son of the Sun, you’re more like a humanoid Teddy dog."

"You’ve got your woman at your side, so it’s easy for you to talk like that." Son of the Sun cursed. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Thinking it over, Chen Nuo replied: "There are professional Pacifiers at the town’s hotels, you can go if you’re not afraid of catching something."

Son of the Sun immediately shook his head: "I’m not stupid, besides... I’m not into black women."

"But I remember you’ve slept with them before." Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn’t risk it with black women here."

"I saw nurses and foreign medical staff in the hospital, and there are white women, if you’re interested you can try your luck."

"I’m no scumbag. Flirting with relief medical staff, that would be heartless wouldn’t it?" Son of the Sun shook his head.

"Alright, you’re not completely gone." Chen Nuo smiled.

Lu Xixi took the last sip of soup, wiped her mouth, and smiled sweetly: "Honey~, we’re going to rest here for the next two days and do nothing, right?"

Chen Nuo chuckled: "No rush... I think by tomorrow the Octopus Monster will definitely be looking for us."

This time both groups of action encountered an attack, and if Octopus Monster doesn’t make some adjustments in response, they’ll be facing wave after wave of attacks continuously.

Before this trouble is resolved, I’m betting that all four groups of search teams will definitely be halted.

Like the saying goes, it’s not the thief you fear, but that the thief has his eyes on you.

You have to solve the problem thoroughly before you can continue searching."
