Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Shen Liang remained silent.

“The Maike Street area is now basically controlled by the rebels, or the entire western Tallinn is a rebel stronghold. In fact, the government forces can only control a small area in the eastern part of Tallinn. The airport we landed at is now almost unattended, and most of the staff have already taken refuge.”

"So, the Shaniat family doesn't have any real-time information either?"

"Tallinn is currently only occupied by the army and rebels. The entire city is without power, so you won't find the latest information you need. You'll have to go inside to look for it."

Shen Liang understood. "I see. When will those heavy weapons arrive?"

"It will be airdropped to your side."

"Thank you."

Having learned everything he needed to know, Shen Liang didn't expect the Shaniat family to provide any further information. He opened the teleportation screen, tossed in some guns and necessary equipment. Opposite him was the bedroom of the passenger ship bound for Narukami Island, allowing him to retrieve them anytime, anywhere. Then he opened the cabin door of the business jet, the glaring sunlight outside causing him to squint slightly.

"This is Tarlin," he said softly. "Seele, Bronya, wait for your brother."

Chapter 119 Let's Start Killing

Shen Liang was surprised to find that Anna had come down with him as well.

Are you also participating in the war?

“I’m not fighting; I’m just a translator,” Anna stretched. “But without me, you can’t get anywhere in Aisha. Do you even understand Aisha?”

"A translator who goes to the battlefield may not necessarily be a translator anymore."

"So please pay me double the wages."

Although it's April, the temperature in Aisha is still hovering between zero and ten degrees Celsius, and it's still chilly even though the sun is shining brightly.

Fortunately, the four people walking here were not ordinary people, and even without thick clothes, they couldn't possibly be afraid of the cold. The three siblings, who grew up in the orphanage of the coldest town on Earth, had maxed out their cold resistance. Rosalia and Lilia still only needed to wear velvet over-the-knee socks to keep their legs warm.

“If you’re cold, I can give you a pair of pants, women’s style,” Shen Liang said to Anna.

Anna was still wearing her ice-blue cloak and dress. The upper body was fine, but the lower body was asymmetrical. Only her right leg was covered with white stockings, and the only warm clothing on her left leg was a black leg ring.

"Why do you have these pants?" Anna asked, puzzled.

"It's Kiana's; I accidentally brought it along while packing my clothes."

"Kiana's clothes are kept with yours?" Anna was stunned.

“She washes all my clothes, we wash and dry them together,” Shen Liang said casually. “She always takes my clothes to her room when she collects them. I’ve told her about it a few times, and she just throws her clothes in my closet. If she needs to change clothes, she can just come to me, which saves me the trouble of sorting clothes.”

None of the four people in the apartment were particularly diligent; they did as little housework as possible, and even the process of sorting clothes was something they tried to cut corners on.

However, the atmosphere of casual conversation ended less than five minutes after disembarking from the plane.

It's not that they've entered a state of combat right now, but rather that Shen Liang and his group of four were stopped by airport staff just as they were about to leave the airport building.

The receptionists were two blond Esaotes, typical Europeans, in their thirties or forties and a bit overweight. They weren't wearing suits but rather their uniforms were half-unbuttoned. They had been setting up a tent at the exit, playing music and using folding chairs to escape the sun and chatting idly, but their eyes lit up the moment they saw Shen Liang and his group.

All four were beautiful girls and boys with outstanding looks. Shen Liang was already used to being stared at like that, but the two white men's gazes didn't just see the excitement of the pretty girls; there was also greed in their eyes.

Shen Liang looked at them, bewildered. This feeling was unpleasant.

Anna, however, looked rather grim. She reached out to stop Shen Liang and the two little girls, and walked ahead first.

"What's wrong?" Shen Liang asked.

“You’ve never been to a country like El Salvador, have you? The people there see your Asian face like they see a hyena with carrion.” Anna clicked her tongue. “That’s why you need a translator. Customs officials in countries like that are alright under normal circumstances, but during wartime, they’re only going to be worse.”

Shen Liang hadn't figured out what "even more outrageous" meant, but then he understood what Anna meant.

Two elderly white men came up and argued with Anna for a few words, then ignored her and walked straight toward Shen Liang. After looking him over a few times, they smiled kindly and reached out their hands.

Shen Liang thought he was asking for his passport, but they then shouted in broken English, "Chinese! Money!"

Want money?

"Don't give him money." Anna stopped Shen Liang just in time as he was about to take out his wallet, her tone slightly angry. "They're extorting you. Your passport and visa are all ready; you don't need money to smooth things over at all! We came in through legitimate channels; these people are disgracing us Europeans!"

But the two old white men didn't think so. They saw Anna's angry expression and even whistled.

For them, not asking Anna and Arlene for money was already a kindness to themselves and the children. Although Shen Liang didn't look very old, this kind of spoiled rich kid was the best target for extortion, especially since he was from China!

It's wartime now. Although we don't know what this Chinese guy is doing in El Salvador, that doesn't stop them from extorting money. Anyway, even if he goes to the embassy to report it, it won't do any good. Nobody cares about this kind of thing during wartime, and even if it weren't wartime, El Salvador would be the same—in fact, all the surrounding small countries are like this.

It's practically an instinct for customs and airport staff to take advantage of tourists with yellow skin. Of course, you can refuse to give them the passport, but then you'll find all sorts of signature and stamp errors on your passport and visa, even if you think it's perfectly fine.

Then you were locked up alone in the police station on the next street. No one could understand you or pretended not to understand you and just kept you locked up for two or three days. Then when your relatives, friends or the embassy came to bail you out, they gloated and said, "Sorry, your procedures weren't completed, so there's nothing we can do. Why didn't you explain?"

Anna was still arguing with the two white men, but they just laughed it off and ignored her. The swagger of the Shaniat people might work in many situations, but in this airport, probably no one had ever heard of Shaniats. Anna's striking appearance only made her seem more harmless.

“Extortion.” Shen Liang understood, turned to look at the two swindling old white men, and said with some impatience, “They’re actually trying to extort me, ha… get out of the way.”

Anna also translated aloud.

The two elderly white men exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. In their eyes, this young man was completely oblivious to his situation and dared to put on airs. They brazenly reached out to grab Shen Liang's chin. It's not easy for Europeans to distinguish between beautiful Asian men and women; they probably thought Shen Liang was a rather unattractive Chinese girl and were preparing to tease and mock her in this way.

"boom!"

Shen Liang fired without hesitation, shattering their feet.

Before Anna could react, she saw Shen Liang pull out two white Desert Eagles. She was startled. "What are you doing? You're shooting at ordinary people?"

"Just blanks," Shen Liang said casually. "To break bones as punishment, do you think the Aisha government has time to deal with such a trivial matter as a tourist shooting someone?"

Anna was stunned by his decisiveness. She hadn't expected Shen Liang to hurt someone so easily, which was completely different from his harmless appearance. She could only swallow hard and say, "Aren't you... going too far?"

“They didn’t think they would be punished when they were extorting me, so they won’t be punished for my overreaction,” Shen Liang said calmly. “You have to understand that I don’t like this country. This country is responsible for my sister going missing, and her fate is still unknown. I’ve been holding back, but they’ve stopped me from going to find my sister. That alone is enough for them to die many times over… Sometimes I can’t hold back anymore.”

"I'm here just to finish this quickly and find my sister." Shen Liang glanced at the two old white men writhing on the ground, their feet covered in blood. "Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll start killing them."

Chapter 120 Are you Lady Cecilia's illegitimate son?

Anna realized that she was only now beginning to understand the boy.

He was serious; his concern for his sister had reached a pathological level. In his eyes, his sister's safety was paramount, even more so than the lives of others.

Perhaps Miss Sirin's calculations were slightly flawed; she only saw the boy's importance but not his uncontrollability... This time, the Aisha battlefield has welcomed such a little killer star, which may not necessarily be a worthwhile deal for the Shaniat family.

--------------

The little incident couldn't slow Shen Liang down. The four of them left the airport and arrived in downtown Tallinn.

To most people, El Salvador always seems to possess a subtle, almost ethereal quality—even when focusing on Europe, this small country on the Baltic coast is often overlooked. Historically, it too has long been neglected and partitioned, but this does not diminish its ancient beauty.

El Salvador's most famous city is undoubtedly its capital, Tallinn, which is "Europe's best-preserved medieval old town".

Here lies the stark grandeur of a traditional European old town, filled with massive stone walls and church spires gleaming with metallic sheen. But now, war rages on. Thick layers of lime have crumbled from the ancient walls after days of bombing. The residential areas have long been evacuated, and the city, now on the front lines of the battle, is frequently punctuated by the sounds of gunfire and artillery.

Although this is the main battlefront, Shen Liang hasn't even seen many people yet.

“The rebels and government forces combined number no more than 10,000. The war isn’t just breaking out in Tallinn; it’s happening all over the country. Tallinn is the core, but that’s inevitable. Most people are hiding in various shelters,” Anna told Shen Liang.

She and Shen Liang moved silently along the marble shopping street in the western old town. According to the map, the old town was mainly a scenic shopping district for tourists, but during World War II, large underground spaces were developed here to serve as air-raid shelters. Later, these air-raid shelters were transformed into various underground commercial areas, and in the days since the war started, they have become refuges for residents.

Seele took refuge in an underground shopping mall called "London Supermarket" here, and that's where she lost contact. There were probably twenty or thirty people taking refuge here originally, but now the entire old town has been occupied by the rebels, and it seems that the people in the shelter have been relocated to other areas... But Shen Liang had no other channels of information, so he could only come here first.

The Eshaans are typically Scandinavian, with low-rise houses mostly built of marble, exuding a rustic and robust charm. The underground spaces are also typical of the Soviet era, large enough to accommodate an entire mountain. During wartime, these underground markets served as warehouses and command posts, so a garrison would inevitably remain there after the area was occupied.

However, considering that there are many such air-raid shelters underground in Tallinn, the number of garrison troops is probably not large.

"Mr. Pandora, would you kill someone?" Anna asked, holding the map and seeing the location getting closer.

“Nonsense…” Rosalia rolled her eyes cutely.

“My sister should have been evacuated during this war, but she was likely left behind because of these rebels. What do you think I think?” Shen Liang said. “They are very cute and beautiful, but it is precisely because they are so cute and beautiful that I am more anxious… If they are harmed, I cannot guarantee what I might do… Besides, I have the ability to do so now.”

Anna hesitated to speak.

But Shen Liang had already arrived at the location, which was the entrance to an underground shopping mall, with a stepped passageway similar to a subway station entrance. Several soldiers in camouflage uniforms, carrying rifles, were leisurely setting up a campfire at the entrance of the passageway to cook canned food. The canned food wasn't military-grade; it looked like it had been taken from the shopping mall behind them—braised pork, made in China.

It was still daytime, and it would be difficult to bypass these soldiers and reach the underground passage. Anna looked at the map; it seemed there was no other way to get to this underground mall. Unlike Shenzhou, where many underground passages were connected, Aisha's underground passages were mostly used as warehouses.

Shen Liang took out his gun, but hesitated for a moment.

He wasn't there to kill anyone, but to inquire about the whereabouts of Bronya and Seele; these soldiers also needed to be kept for questioning.

“I’ll do it,” Anna whispered. “I have a way of capturing them alive.”

"Does the Shaniat family allow you to take action?"

“But you…” Anna wanted to say, “Are you so young to be getting your hands stained with blood?” But Shen Liang would only find such pointless words annoying.

"I'll do it. I don't want to owe Shaniat too much of a favor," Shen Liang said.

He walked out directly from behind the wall where he was hiding!

The rebel soldiers immediately spotted Shen Liang, but his appearance made them hesitate for a moment. However, their hesitation was only for a moment, and they immediately shouted, "Stop!" "Freeze!" and were about to raise their guns.

In the past, Shen Liang would never have been able to handle such a situation, but now it's different; he can handle it, and he has two even more formidable younger sisters.

Seeing that Shen Liang showed no intention of retreating, the soldiers opened fire without hesitation!

——Just right.

—Let me show you how strong my physical fitness is now!

The bloodline of Princess Haiqi granted Shen Liang a physique that surpassed human limits! He stared at the soldiers' gun barrels, without activating the light barrier, and instead relied on his reaction and speed to dodge their aim!

Dodging bullets is unrealistic, but dodging aim is possible! There are only three armed enemies, so one can easily take on all three before reinforcements arrive! Rosalia and Lilia won't even need to lift a finger!
