Fuck
"Father, please listen to this."
Horus offered this advice.
To make it more convincing, it said, "Perhaps there is something important, but even if there isn't, it wouldn't hurt to hear it. After all, you wouldn't want me to end up like you, would you?"
"... If you dare do that, I'll break your legs."
"Father, is this a double standard?"
Kang De scoffed, "Nonsense, this is called special treatment for special circumstances—connect me."
There was a burst of noise in the earphones, and then the two sides connected for the call.
His father's voice rang in his ears. "Say something! You can't be driving this car by yourself, can you? Whoever you are, please contact my son, this is very important!"
Kang De sighed, "What? You need to pee?"
After a moment of silence, Papa Kang called out, "Where are you? Come back quickly!"
Kang De frowned, then said patiently, "I've already found them. Let's rescue them first. What else is there? If you're so free, why don't you think about how to settle such a large group of people? I don't have time to drag them all to Djibouti."
Kang Jinzhu asked, "Save him now? Why not follow the convoy to find Little Bob?"
Whether the convoy will go directly to Little Bob is still uncertain, and I don't have that much time to waste. After all, rescuing him is just a side thing; the most important thing is to protect you on your way to Djibouti.
Kang De offered a casual explanation, but it was rather far-fetched.
There was no way he could just say that he didn't have time to waste following the convoy because he had to return to the other world from time to time. It would be difficult to explain clearly in a short time.
Kang Jinzhu said in a deep voice, "It's alright, we can stay in this car. It's risky for you to act now. Why don't you come back first and we can discuss it?"
Kang De watched the convoy disappear into the distance, then shook his head and said, "What's there to discuss? It's a trivial matter. Just hurry up and rescue them, settle them in, and then we should get back to what we're doing."
Papa Kang raised his voice slightly. "Listen to me! Come back first!"
Kang De grew increasingly impatient. "What are you doing!"
Kang Jinzhu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, "Are you so eager to go to war and kill people that you have no patience to wait?"
Kang De paused, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. "Who the hell loves war? Who likes killing? What are you thinking? Why are you saying this?"
Kang Jinzhu said, "If not, then come back first. There are clearly better ways and plans..."
"... No! This is the best and simplest method and plan! There's no time to waste!" The other world, the Kirov delivery, the urgent need to settle my father, the aftermath of Little Bob's incident, and many other things—saving these people is just a small, casual thing to do.
Kang De tried to sound more patient, "I know you're worried about my mental state, but you should also consider the actual situation. Let me ask you, which action is more dangerous for me: killing all these people or knocking them all unconscious? Obviously, the latter. I'm not strong enough to show mercy in the face of firearms... I know this is hard to accept, but war is war, and killing is always better than being wounded..."
He sighed, "I promise you, I'll see a psychologist after this is all over."
Then, to lighten the mood, she said something slightly suggestive, "How about Uncle Wang helps me book a tall, busty, gentle older sister with glasses?"
As he spoke, he swung the Javelin in his hand around a few times.
A glint flashed in Kang De's eyes. The Himo's Eagle had reached the designated altitude. The next moment, he would use the spatial anchor point to surge into the sky, swoop down, and shoot the helicopter down with a single Javelin, so that these foreigners would know that Civilization V is a realistic game.
The father persisted into the earpiece, "I feel like something's not right about this, or perhaps..."
"Or what? Just get them out of here and get on with it. There's no time for proper discussion. If we keep talking, they'll be far away. Now they've changed direction and seem to be heading towards Moyani. Once they're in the city, they'll be hard to find and won't be able to maneuver effectively. Alright, that's all for now. I'm going to intercept them right away..."
Kang De took a deep breath, slowly calmed himself, and stared at the helicopter.
Just then, his father's stern shout came through the earpiece, "Kang De! Listen to me!"
Kang De's calm and prepared mindset was instantly disrupted.
It's annoying to be yelled at when you're about to go into lane in League of Legends with high spirits, let alone in this situation where you're about to fight and risk your life.
Kang De flew into a rage. "Roar! Why didn't you yell when I was chopping people up?! You're still the same as before! You act all high and mighty all the time, but when things don't go your way, you yell! You throw tantrums! Count how many times the hell you've yelled since the beginning! What good has it done? What's the point of yelling so loudly?"
Fathers are not always reasonable.
Especially before realizing her son was growing up.
Kang Jinzhu also got carried away.
Kang De was not the only one who felt anxious and uneasy.
He roared, "Who the hell am I doing this for? It's all for you!"
Kang De took a deep breath.
Trapped in White Mist World, adrift on a deserted island for a year, living in constant fear and trepidation.
Betrayed by the Good Family, he was killed in the Glittering Sand, committing countless murders.
Trapped in Valentan, battling fiercely in the Dusk Warband, his hands stained with blood.
Rushing to the aid of Danfeng Lucerne, fighting on two fronts, racing against time, and walking alongside death.
Who knows?
Who can I rely on?
Can anyone help?
For me?
Is it useful? Is it useful? Is it useful!? Do you think this is useful?!
I survived on the island by myself, I flattened the Glittering Sand by myself, I won the Battle of Valentan by myself, I fucking pushed forward on two fronts, killing the elves on one side and coming to save you on the other!
I did it myself! I had to do it all myself!
Have you made enough of a scene? Have you argued enough?
"Hold!"
Kang De ripped off his headphones, crushed them, and casually pulled up his mask. He had already changed into the Shadow Lone Walker Set, which gleamed with black light. In an instant, he appeared in the clear sky, and the Javelin struck the tail of the helicopter like lightning, severing the hard tail fin in a flash.
The helicopter immediately lost its balance, began to spin and plummet, and roared as it flew diagonally downwards.
The next moment, Kang De had already landed on the ground through the Javelin anchor point, throwing out flying stones. His invisibility cloak fluttered, and he teleported until he reached the last infantry fighting vehicle in the group. He then raised his hand and punched, breaking the inner lock.
The rear door of the infantry fighting vehicle swung open. Kang De raised his left wrist, and an atmospheric shield surged out and solidified. He then stepped on his right foot and rushed into the vehicle, charging forward. Before the ten crew members inside could even pick up their guns, they were pushed together by the invisible atmospheric shield and crammed together, falling and tumbling forward like sardines stacked on top of each other.
Without pausing for a moment, Kang De raised his right hand and struck his left wrist guard sharply.
With a deafening roar, the air shield vibrated, and the terrifying impact and shockwaves were transmitted through the extremely condensed atmosphere. Screams and sounds of vomiting blood rose and fell incessantly. Terrifying shockwaves rippled through the vehicle. After three punches, apart from Kang De, there was no one left alive in the vehicle.
"Attack underway! Attack underway!"
The helicopter crashed to the ground like a meteor with a deafening roar. The mercenaries in the convoy didn't stop to check; instead, they immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Speed up! Speed up! Moyani is just ahead! Enter the city! Quickly!"
Kang De remained invisible, bursting out of the armored vehicle to see the convoy fleeing in panic.
He cursed under his breath.
According to his plan, as long as the team stopped to check after hearing the noise, he would have a way to kill them all one by one—how could they be so cowardly? They weren't even going to save the pilot in the helicopter?
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the back of several armed pickup trucks behind the convoy were already aimed at this side, and bullets rained down like shuttles, sweeping across a large area around the armored vehicles.
Kang De's eyes darted around as he teleported into the air via the spatial anchor point of the Himo's Eagle, then swooped down and stomped on a mercenary's head, crushing him to a centimeter. Blood splattered everywhere. He drew his short sword and swung it fiercely, slicing open the top of the pickup truck. He picked up a pistol he found in the armored vehicle and shot the driver and co-driver dead. In the back seat sat three Asian men who were tightly bound.
Several vehicle-mounted machine guns ahead turned their guns, aimed in this direction, and opened fire.

PS1: Second update...
PS2: Just a heads up, this part of the story is the opportunity for the father and son to truly be honest with each other, and it's also the key to Kang De's change of mindset. You'll find out the details as you read on; just be patient.
PS3: And I checked, there were 200,000 words updated in October, 80,000 words were returned, and the bounty was 40,000 words. Adding last month's 60,000 words, that means I returned an extra 20,000 words.
PS4: Let's keep the bounties going in November, we'll talk about it during the day, time to sleep.
