Chapter 202 - To The Southern Union
Lyner who left Cromer city went into a secure military base and came to do a fake inspection. Lyner who never used it was finally able to use the Id the government gave him when he became an SS rank merc.
With this Id he had access to all military bases, he was even given more authority than Generals. The only one who outranks Lyner in Berdonia was the President. Still, even though he was a high ranking individual he just can't come in and take a jet out of the country.
Actually, at the moment, Lyner wasn't even allowed to go out of the country. This detail actually made Lyner feel even more excited.
...
Right now Lyner was with the Captain of the base who was showing him around.
"It is quite an honor to meet a living legend such as yourself."
"No need for flattery. So how about you show me to your hangar. I need to tell you something privately." Seeing Lyner's serious look the Captain didn't have time to question why they should talk in the hangar. Lyner was a high rank individual, maybe this sudden inspection wasn't so sudden after all.
"This way sir." The Captain led Lyner to the hangar.
...
Once the two reached the hangar. The captain ordered all the men to leave and no matter the circumstances to not let anyone in.
When all the soldiers left the hangar, the Captain approached Lyner cautiously. "Sir, the hangar is now empty."
"Very good Captain. Now come a bit closer, what I'm about to tell you is top secret." The Captain came closer as Lyner requested, and when he was near enough he suddenly felt a heavy impact hit the back of his neck.
The Captain was losing consciousness but before he did he heard Lyner's voice. "Sorry about that."
...
When the Captain collapsed onto his arms, Lyner placed the body to the side. He then proceeded to steal one of the fighter jets. Of course, no one was going to open the hangar doors, so Lyner blew them up.
When the path was clear Lyner started his jet, and before anyone from the base was able to react he was able to take off.
...
A few minutes after stealing the jet, Lyner received a radio call from a Captain from another base.
"Sir Lyner what are you doing?! Please stop and head back to base."
"Sorry, I can't do that I have something to do."
"If you do not return with the jet you just stole, I will be forced to order my men to shoot you down."
Hearing the heavy-handed words of the Captain, Lyner couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well you can try, but I advise you not to do that. If your men come here and try to shoot me down, then I'll consider them as an enemy. I'm sure you have been informed about me. Will you take that risk, and send your men to their deaths?"
The Captain hearing what Lyner said couldn't respond. Every soldier above the rank of major has been informed about Lyner. When they were given all the classified information about Lyner, they couldn't believe that one human being could do so much.
Knowing the truth about Lyner, the Captain couldn't send his men after him. He clenched his fist and decided to bear the consequences of letting Lyner go.
Lyner who didn't hear any response from the Captain, already guessed what his was thinking.
"Don't worry Captain, I'll make sure to put in a good word for you once I'm done with my business."
...
Lyner was now five kilometers away from the borders of the Southern Union. He landed the jet in a remote region before he headed to the border on foot.
Lyner wasn't allowed to leave the country, and the Southern Union wouldn't allow him into their country. So the only way Lyner could get to the Southern Union is if he sneaks his way in.
This was especially difficult to do at the moment since everyone in the border knew of his arrival. The soldiers at the border were already given a heads up about Lyner's movements. So both sides were on extremely high alert.
The Soldiers at the checkpoint were tripled, because of Lyner. There were even some soldiers patrolling the river that separated Berdonia and the Southern Union.
...
Unknown to everyone Lyner had already cross the border. He did take the river route and dived deep below. There was a secret passageway underwater that he found when he was escaping from Anita.
Of course, the Southern Union Soldiers were aware of this underwater tunnel, but they would never expect Lyner would use it. Since the tunnel was too small for a submarine to fit. It only had enough space for barely one human to fit, and even if Lyner dived in and swam in the tunnel he wouldn't make it to the other side. Seeing as the tunnel was a one-kilometer distance to the end. No one could hold their breath for that long and swim that distance underwater without equipment.
Everyone had clearly underestimated how superhuman Lyner was. He could have swum an extra hundred meters and still be okay.
...
Once Lyner had safely crossed the border, the first thought that came to his mind was that he needed to blend in. The Southern Union was a tropical country, which only had a dry and wet season, and right now it was the dry season.
Lyner who was wearing wet clothes, that didn't seem to be because of sweat would attract attention. So he stayed hidden until he found an unsuspecting victim. When Lyner saw a guy wearing clothes that seem like it would fit him, he ambushed him.
Lyner took the guys clothes and switched it with his own clothes. Once he was done changing he hid the man's unconscious body somewhere no one would see, and left him with some money.
Lyner then went into a crowded street and blended into the crowd. Because the Southern Union had many ethnicities Lyner had easily blended.
'Now that the easy part is done. All that's left is the hard part.'
