One Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Preparing for Shipment
Wei Hua was the last to retreat. It took him merely two minutes to rush from the substation to the villa. After the resistance personnel had withdrawn, Wei Hua began to frantically loot the villa for spoils of war. All the antiques, safes, and artworks inside the villa were swept into his spatial ring. Even the Fire Alliance's secret warehouse hidden in the basement was discovered by him, and the narcotics inside also became his trophies. The entire looting process took Wei Hua only five minutes. His divine sense was monstrously powerful; walls and metals could not obstruct it at all. In Wei Hua's eyes, this villa was no different from being completely transparent.
Wei Hua inspected every single corpse in the villa once more to ensure there were no survivors before finally leaving the premises. Although his pre-battle order had been to leave no survivors, he knew that first attempts often had minor flaws, so it was better to be cautious. From the looks of it now, the resistance personnel had performed much better than expected.
The police were much slower than Wei Hua had anticipated; it took them a full twenty minutes after the attack to arrive tardily. Seeing the hundreds of corpses in the villa and the marks left by the rocket-propelled grenade explosions at the scene, the face of the Indonesian police officer leading the team turned pale. This matter had blown up into something huge. It appeared that everyone in the villa was dead, and the military factions supporting the Fire Alliance behind the scenes certainly would not let the matter rest. They, these powerless and insignificant cops, were about to have a run of bad luck.
Wei Hua left the vicinity of the villa just as the police began carrying the corpses out one by one. Although the police had cordoned off the surrounding area, they could seal off the ground but not the sky. Wei Hua quickly returned to the pre-arranged rendezvous point. Seeing Jiang Hua, Wei Hua asked:
"How is the situation with our people?"
"Everything is going very well! We only had one person heavily injured and four slightly injured! I have already sent these five individuals onto Miss He's ship. The ship will leave Jakarta tomorrow morning. The rest of the people have dispersed and evacuated. The equipment has been left here just as you instructed. I am about to withdraw as well, so I will leave this place to you," Jiang Hua said.
"No problem! Don't forget that you still need to put on a show once dawn breaks! Be careful and don't let any flaws slip through!" Wei Hua said.
"Isn't it just getting my men to get moving? I know how to handle it! Rest assured!" With that, Jiang Hua left the secret rendezvous point.
Wei Hua stowed all the weaponry and equipment into his spatial ring and then departed the secret gathering spot as well, returning all the gear to the armory he had prepared for the resistance. Because dozens of public entertainment venues had been attacked, the Jakarta police had no way to cover it up. Consequently, the Jakarta Police Department once again classified the assaults as terrorist attacks and swore to hunt down the culprits to avenge the citizens. However, the massacre at the detached villa in East Jakarta was successfully concealed by them.
This time, Wei Hua had come to Jakarta under the guise of a tourist, so he had no choice but to symbolically visit a few of Jakarta's scenic spots, such as the Istiqlal Mosque, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park), and Ancol Dreamland.
The Istiqlal Mosque is the largest mosque in Indonesia, located on the northeast side of Jakarta Independence Square, and was completed in 1979. The mosque covers an area of several hectares, with a building area of 93,400 square meters. A gigantic, white-painted hemispherical dome sits atop the roof, making it extremely eye-catching. Major Islamic activities and ceremonies in Indonesia are held here, and the Indonesian president as well as high-ranking government officials frequently come here to worship.
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is located about 26 kilometers east of downtown Jakarta and was completed in 1975. It features real-life models of traditional houses, lakes, parks, commemorative towers, shopping centers, open-air theaters, cable cars, trains, and water paddleboats from all over Indonesia, serving as a miniature epitome of the country. A giant model map of the Indonesian archipelago is set in the center of the park, and the surrounding grounds are divided into 27 zones representing the 27 provincial regions of Indonesia, such as Central Java, Bali, and Jakarta. Each zone contains buildings with local traditional characteristics and is planted with native flora. Visitors can also take small boats to tour the "islands of Indonesia." The park houses museums, libraries, an imaging center, a youth palace, and a children's amusement park, where young people can regularly study traditional music and dance. The most striking building among them is the Golden Snail IMAX Cinema, which regularly screens panoramic films such as "Beautiful Indonesia."
Ancol Dreamland is the largest amusement park in Indonesia, located at the northern end of downtown Jakarta, right next to the Bay of Jakarta. The park features newly designed large hotels, open-air cinemas, aquariums, dolphin performance pools, large artificial wave swimming pools, tennis courts, seaside cottages, handicraft pavilions, pelota courts, golf courses, bowling alleys, racetracks, racecourses, beaches, nightclubs, steam rooms, casinos, massage parlors, and children's playgrounds. Villa districts built with typical Indonesian ethnic characteristics are also established within Dreamland. The art market displays Indonesian folk crafts, and artists create paintings and sculptures on-site for visitors. At dusk, folk dances from Bali, Kalimantan, and other regions are performed on the open-air stage.
This was Wei Hua's first time visiting Indonesia's scenic spots. Although it was just a cursory tour, the experience was quite pleasant to him. By the time the sightseeing ended, it was already the fourth day after the attack. Upon returning to the hotel, Wei Hua used a satellite phone to call Ono Kura in Hong Kong. Soon, Ono Kura's voice rang through the receiver:
"Is that you, Wei Hua-kun? I guessed it would be you calling me! How are things? Are you enjoying your trip to Indonesia? I heard there was just a terrorist attack in Indonesia; Wei Hua-kun, you must look after your safety!"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ono! Our goods have already arrived in the United States, and I will fly directly from Jakarta to the US tomorrow. My first stop is Los Angeles, and we can begin shipping our cargo!" Wei Hua told Ono Kura.
