Xia Ruofei was moving at full speed. He covered a distance of one to two hundred meters in an instant.
The outside of the coffee shop was a mess. All kinds of building materials and glass shards were scattered all over the place. The glass walls, doors, and windows were all gone.
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power had already spread out while he was running. He did not find Tony's figure in the car.
Xia Ruofei's heart sank. He rushed into the coffee shop without hesitation.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he could not help but take a deep breath despite his strong mental fortitude.
At this time, the coffee shop had become a scene of carnage. Many people were lying on the floor. These people were all covered in blood. Some were pressed under the wreckage of tables and chandeliers, and some were directly lying on the bar counter. Their hands were still dripping with blood.
Xia Ruofei even saw blood and flesh splattered on the walls. The entire coffee shop was filled with the smell of smoke and blood.
It was obvious how powerful the explosion was.
In addition, the coffee shop was silent after the explosion. There was not a single sound of moaning. There was only the occasional sound of blood dripping on the ground.
There was a suffocating terror in the silence.
Xia Ruofei was someone who had been on the battlefield. Once he saw this scene, he knew that under such an explosion, there would be no survivors in the coffee shop.
He used his mental power to scan the people lying on the ground. He muttered to himself, "Why are there so many people in the coffee shop this early in the morning?"
What Xia Ruofei did not know was that the main customers of the coffee shop in Deca Town were not the local people. They were foreigners.
The foreigners who frequented the coffee shop were quite complicated. There were arms smugglers, intelligence brokers, and some foreigners who were involved in trade.
Of course, these people had one thing in common. They were all using the war in Wadi La to make a fortune.
Therefore, they did not come to the coffee shop to have fun. They came to talk business.
In fact, the coffee shop in Deca Town had become the intelligence gathering place in the eastern part of Wadi La. Of course, there were many freelance war reporters like Tony who came here to get some interview information.
The explosion was obviously a suicide attack. The mastermind behind it was most likely the Taliban militants who were getting more and more powerful in Wadi La. They chose this coffee shop because there were more foreigners here. If there were a lot of casualties, it would have a bigger international impact.
Xia Ruofei's mental power quickly locked onto Tony's aura. He walked over quickly and moved the sofa that was on top of Tony.
Tony had already become a bloody man. His legs below the knee had disappeared without a trace. There was a large hole in his chest, and his face was covered in blood. If Xia Ruofei hadn't used her spiritual power to detect his aura, she wouldn't have been able to recognize him with the naked eye.
Xia Ruofei knew that Tony was not going to make it.
Xia Ruofei reached out and lifted Tony up, letting him lean on the crook of his arm. His other hand quickly pressed a few points on Tony's body, sealing a few important acupuncture points to stop the blood from flowing out further.
Then, Xia Ruofei pressed his hand on Tony's chest and transferred a strand of vital energy.
Tony's chest heaved up and down. In the next moment, he struggled to open his eyes.
When Tony saw Xia Ruofei, there was a strange look in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It was obvious that he was at his last moments.
Xia Ruofei increased the input of vital energy and said in a deep voice, "Tony, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me. If the conditions allow, I will help you."
In fact, Xia Ruofei could save Tony if he used the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower. However, he would not use the solution for someone he had met by chance.
Xia Ruofei didn't feel bad about using the solution, but he couldn't explain everything afterwards. He couldn't bet that Tony would help him keep it a secret. After all, the two of them only knew each other in the morning, and the time they spent together was less than half an hour. He didn't know Tony well.
There were people dying every day in this world. Xia Ruofei couldn't be the savior of the world and save every life that was on the verge of death.
However, it was fate that brought them together. Tony took the initiative to give him a ride, which could be considered as forming a good karma.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei used his vital energy to hang on to Tony's last breath and let him speak of his unfulfilled wishes.
Tony's lips trembled as he stammered in a weak voice, "My … my … wallet … has a USB flash drive in it … help … me … give it to … my … daughter … her name is Emma … the address is … written … on the back … of … the photo … in my wallet!"
In fact, there was a video in Tony's USB flash drive that he recorded two days ago. It was what he wanted to say to his daughter. Two days ago, when he was on the road, he suddenly wanted to leave some words for his daughter. Therefore, he took a video and recorded it. He didn't expect it to be the last words he left for his daughter.
In addition to the video, there was a file in the USB flash drive that saved his bank account and password. All of his savings were in this account, which was also the last wealth he left for his daughter.
In fact, if Xia Ruofei read the data in the USB flash drive, it was possible for him to take the money in the bank account. After all, the two of them met by chance, and Tony didn't know what kind of person Xia Ruofei was.
However, he was on his deathbed, and there was no one around him that he could trust. Therefore, he could only choose to believe in Xia Ruofei.
As Xia Ruofei listened, he reached out and searched Tony's body. Soon, he found the wallet and the USB flash drive in the pocket.
"Is it this USB flash drive?" Xia Ruofei asked while pulling out a photo from Tony's wallet. It was a girl who looked to be 14 or 15 years old. She had two blonde braids and a bright smile on her face.
Xia Ruofei turned the photo over and found an address and phone number written on the back. He showed the back of the photo to Tony and asked, "This is the address and phone number, right?"
Tony nodded with difficulty and said, "Please … I'll leave it to you!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'll give this USB flash drive and the things you left behind to your daughter. "
Tony panted with difficulty and nodded gently. Blood kept oozing out of his mouth, and it seemed that he was about to die.
Xia Ruofei asked, "Do you have anything else you want to say?"
Tony squeezed out a smile and said, "Live … Live … Stay away from … This damn war …"
Halfway through his sentence, he couldn't breathe anymore. His head tilted and he completely lost his breath.
Xia Ruofei looked at Tony's pupils that gradually began to dilate. He sighed and gently closed his eyelids and put him down.
Xia Ruofei didn't put away Tony's body out of caution. There must be surveillance cameras in the coffee shop. After the explosion, the surveillance cameras must have failed, but the data before the explosion might still be intact. When the local government investigated this case, they would definitely check the surveillance data. When the time came, they would find that Tony was missing.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also considered that this was an area controlled by the government. If Tony's body was left here, the local government would definitely deal with it properly. After identifying his identity, they should also inform his family.
At this time, Xia Ruofei heard the mournful sirens coming from afar.
He didn't stay in the coffee shop any longer. He reached out and found the car key in Tony's pocket. He glanced at Tony one last time, then got up and quickly left the messy coffee shop.
Xia Ruofei found Tony's Ford off-road vehicle not far away.
The glass of the car had been shattered by the shock wave of the explosion, and glass fragments were everywhere in the car.
Xia Ruofei opened the door and waved his hand. A wisp of mental strength swept out and swept all the glass fragments on the driver's seat to the side.
He sat in the car and inserted the key to test it. He found that the car could still start normally, so he put it in gear and stepped on the accelerator to leave the vicinity of the coffee shop.
Xia Ruofei drove the Ford off-road vehicle and passed by the fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars that were speeding over.
After he drove away from Deca Town, he found a place to park the car.
Then Xia Ruofei simply cleaned up the car and put away the things Tony left in the car, plus the USB drive and the photo of the phone with the address, into the Ring-Tu space.
Xia Ruofei used the space rule to create a small space in the Ring-Tu Mountain Sea Realm to store Tony's relics alone.
Xia Ruofei didn't have the intention to open the USB drive that Tony specifically asked for.
He could guess that the things inside must be very important, and it was very likely to involve some financial issues. But not to mention that Xia Ruofei was now worth at least billions of dollars, even if he wasn't a penniless person, he wouldn't have such a crooked idea.
Xia Ruofei planned to find a way to transfer all of Tony's relics to his daughter Emma after he was done with the things here.
After putting away Tony's relics, Xia Ruofei sat in the driver's seat with a thoughtful look.
There was a wallet in front of him, which was also Tony's.
In addition to the USB drive just now, there was also Tony's passport, reporter ID, and so on.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and finally decided to change into Tony's appearance.
He used a secret technique to fine-tune his bones and muscles, and at the same time, he used the disguise detection technique to change his skin color. He also slightly adjusted his hairstyle and stuck some beard on his face.
After a while, Xia Ruofei's appearance was at least 70-80% similar to Tony. If you only looked at the low-resolution photo of the ID, they were exactly the same.
Xia Ruofei didn't plan to use Tony's identity to move around Wadi La. He only did this to deal with the possible checks on the road. Changing into Tony's appearance was equivalent to having a complete set of identity documents. Whether it was in the area controlled by the government forces or the area controlled by the Nazi armed forces, as a reporter, he could pass through most of the situations without obstruction.
Of course, if it was an area with intense fighting or a place that involved military secrets, he wouldn't be able to enter.
As for the actual operation, Xia Ruofei definitely wouldn't use Tony's appearance. Although Tony was dead, Xia Ruofei didn't want to bring trouble to his family.
Xia Ruofei started the Ford off-road vehicle again and drove to the west.
Although the car's windows were all shattered, it could be said that the wind was blowing in all directions. As soon as the car started, his ears were filled with the sound of the wind. However, as a cultivator, this little bit of wind didn't affect him at all. Xia Ruofei stepped on the accelerator to the maximum. The car roared as it sped on the simple road, stirring up dust along the way.
Xia Ruofei was very quiet along the way. He still hadn't recovered from his emotional state.
Speaking of which, Xia Ruofei was also someone who had seen blood on the battlefield. His mental fortitude was much stronger than the average person's. However, when he saw the hellish scene in the coffee shop, he still felt a huge impact on his heart.
The quiet town was instantly shrouded in cries and screams. The strong contrast made Xia Ruofei feel that peace didn't come easy.
When he lived in China, this feeling wasn't very strong. However, after coming to this war-torn country, Xia Ruofei deeply understood how precious a peaceful environment in China was.
In the war-torn areas, human lives were as cheap as grass.
Xia Ruofei drove for hundreds of kilometers. From dawn to dusk, he didn't stop for a break.
The closer he got to the war-torn areas, the more tense the situation became.
Xia Ruofei saw many people fleeing along the way. There were very few cars like him driving in the opposite direction.
On the way, he also passed by several checkpoints set up by the government army. Tony's identity was complete, and he was also a reporter. Therefore, the government army didn't make things difficult for Xia Ruofei. They only warned him that the war-torn areas were very dangerous and that he should pay attention to his safety.
There were many war reporters active in Wadi La. It was not the first time that the government army soldiers had seen them. They knew that these reporters were not afraid of death. It was useless to persuade them to stay away from the war-torn areas.
In the afternoon, Xia Ruofei could already feel the tension in the situation. The government army and the Taliban forces were intertwined in this area. Small scale battles never stopped.
At the most dangerous time, a rocket landed less than a hundred meters in front of his car.
Xia Ruofei's strong mental power and acute sense of danger allowed him to step on the brakes to slow down. If he drove at a normal speed, he might have been hit by the rocket.
As a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage, he was far from being strong enough to ignore the attacks of firearms. Large caliber firearms, rockets, high energy bombs … Any one of them was enough to take the life of a low-level cultivator.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't dare to be careless. He even summoned the Spiritual Map Scroll from his body and stuffed it into the pocket of his overalls.
This way, with his current reaction speed, even if he was hit by an attack that he couldn't resist, he would have enough time to hide in the space.
Other than the fleeing crowd, the stern-looking soldiers, and the sound of gunfire in the distance, there was an even more shocking scene. After entering the war-torn areas, Xia Ruofei saw more than once corpses lying on the ground by the roadside.
It was unknown how these people died. They might have been hit by stray bullets, robbed, or even killed by the government army. However, due to the tense situation, no one cared to bury them. Therefore, their corpses were left lying in the wilderness.
Due to the poor road conditions and the frequent stops along the way, Xia Ruofei drove less than four hundred kilometers in a day.
According to the handheld GPS, his current location was more than three hundred kilometers away from the Boeta area. Xia Ruofei decided to rest for a while and continue his journey through the night.
