56. Arrive at the destination
Sokovia, a small Eastern European country plagued by war and external interference.
This is also Ji Yuan's destination for this trip.
He has just emerged from the magical barrier of Mount Vangard.
Mount Wandager is always shrouded in a magical barrier, making it invisible and inaccessible to ordinary people. It was truly a coincidence that Bronsky was able to pass through here before.
This mountain is very close to Sokovia, and it's convenient to get out from here.
As for why Ji Yuan came to Sokovia.
One reason is to study the magic in the Book of Vishanti here, especially dimensional travel. Sokovia is very close to Mount Wrangler and also acts as a cosmic portal node, making dimensional travel easier here.
Secondly, it's related to having Jarvis arrange for supplies to be donated here, thus indirectly helping Wanda.
As expected, the supplies he donated were swallowed up, or rather, not all of them were swallowed up; about one percent of them still reached Sokovia.
It can only be said that these kinds of public welfare events cannot be done by the person in charge. Going through foundations or relief organizations is too risky. Almost 90% of the money will be embezzled.
And the remaining one percent was swallowed up by the rebel army here. Ji Yuan was speechless about this, but also felt it was very reasonable.
As for the money, of course it was returned.
As for those who were involved in corruption, Jarvis gave them a major exposure of their personal information, revealing all their past misdeeds on the internet and to their superiors.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be feeding mosquitoes somewhere under a bridge right now.
Those few rebel soldiers who were greedy for supplies were lucky; they were all taken down by Bronsky, who sent Ji, with one punch each. They didn't suffer much and passed away peacefully.
Since learning that the goods had been embezzled, Ji Yuan sent Bronsky over, and it's estimated that he now has a solid foundation.
"Jarvis, call Bronsky," Ji Yuan said, disappearing into the sky.
"Yes, sir."
Bronsky's voice came through the phone, mixed with the sounds of intense gunfire and angry shouts.
"Boss, I'm here."
"How's it going on your end?" Ji Yuan asked.
"The government forces and the rebels have started fighting again. Apparently, one of the rebel leaders suddenly died, and the rebels believe that the government forces were responsible, so the two sides are fighting again."
"Oh, right," Bronsky said in a low voice, almost inaudible under the cover of gunfire, "I also discovered that one of the leaders is a vampire."
"Vampires are gone. All the vampires in the world are finished," Ji Yuan said calmly.
The calm words struck Bronsky like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. He keenly sensed that this matter might be related to his boss, and thought to himself: It seems that something big has happened in the world these past few days while I haven't been online.
"By the way, how are those two people I asked you to look after doing?" Ji Yuan asked again.
Bronsky snapped out of his reverie and replied, "I already saw them at the shelter. The girl looked healthy, but the boy seemed sick. I didn't approach them rashly, as you advised."
"And," he said, somewhat doubtfully, "that girl gave me a very dangerous feeling; she seemed to have the ability to kill me instantly."
"Hmm?" Ji Yuan's expression turned serious. "Then don't go near her. Just focus on getting the rescue base up and running."
"Okay, boss, the rescue base is basically ready, we just need supplies."
After discussing some more details, Ji Yuan hung up the phone.
"Wait a minute, why is Wanda's chaos magic showing signs of awakening now?"
Ji Yuan was puzzled. Logically speaking, Wanda shouldn't have fully awakened Chaos Magic yet. She would only truly awaken Chaos Magic after coming into contact with the Mind Stone.
"Could it be because of Sithon again?"
This was the only answer Ji Yuan could think of.
They quickly flew over Sokovia, where the situation was worse than they had imagined.
The buildings were collapsed everywhere, leaving only ruins and charred car wrecks, with a lingering smell of plastic.
Broken furniture and unclaimed debris were scattered across the ruins, and occasionally, rotting flesh and dusty limbs could be seen.
The survivors struggled through the ruins, their eyes vacant and numb.
In war, it is always the civilians who suffer the most.
Ji Yuan shook his head and sent down several beams of light, flying towards Bronsky's location.
This abandoned hospital is the place that Bronsky found to be used as a rescue base.
The hospital building had long since collapsed, leaving only the basement and the natural barrier formed by the collapsed ruins.
The basement has been cleaned up and is very spacious, making it an excellent place for living or storing supplies.
At that moment, Bronsky was waiting for Ji Yuan in the basement.
"Boss, you're here," Bronsky greeted.
Ji Yuan nodded, said nothing more, and with a wave of his hand, many teleportation portals appeared in the basement.
To Bronsky's dazed gaze, countless supplies flew out of the portal and were neatly arranged on the floor.
A few minutes later.
The entire basement was filled with supplies: clothing, medicine, food, drinking water, medical equipment... you name it, they had it.
Ji Yuan then placed representative items from various international aid organizations at the basement entrance. Putting aside everything else, the presence of these items here always had a calming effect on people's hearts.
"Alright, Bronsky, you can contact other rescue organizations now," Ji Yuan said.
Bronsky snapped out of his daze and quickly left.
Soon, people began to arrive at the base.
The woman leading the group was very old and looked quite weathered. She came over, took Ji Yuan's hand, and said, "You must be Mr. Ji Yuan. I am Audrey Cohen from Doctors Without Borders. Thank you for your help to the Sokovian refugees. May God bless you."
"Hello." Ji Yuan grasped Audrey's hand. "I just wanted to do my part."
Ji Yuan greatly admires these Doctors Without Borders. Every rescue they provide is risked with their lives, and every time they speak out, they put everything else aside. The brilliance of humanity shines brightly in them.
An invisible light fell into the bodies of these doctors without borders, slowly improving their physical condition and protecting them from all diseases.
After agreeing on a series of matters concerning refugee resettlement, Audrey and her team left. They needed to relocate some medical equipment and patients from the medical station to the abandoned hospital, and promote the establishment of this aid base to help more people.
Ji Yuan, meanwhile, took out a seemingly ordinary book and began to study it.
This is the Book of Vishanti, but it uses a smokescreen to conceal its magnificent appearance.
Ji Yuan planned to study magic while waiting for Wanda to come to him. Given her current state, it would be easy to cause problems if he took the initiative to contact her. It would be better to wait for her to come to the shelter and then act according to the situation.
