The Chinese Premier was scheduled to fly into Pyongyang Sunan International Airport on this day, making it a very significant one for Pyongyang. The Pyongyang government had been given the itinerary long ago, and the airport was prepared to receive the superpower leader. However, this was the issue.
The airport wasn't the same it once was and it had been upgraded to the best and most advanced airport that could cater to both Earth related planes for landing and even for the planes that would fly to space. The current airport was ten times larger than the earlier one.
The two best pilots of Kōngjūn 3701 (Chinese version of Air Force One) who was flying the aircraft did a double take when he saw the airport. The tall, affluent buildings nearby could be seen by both pilots, and they had no reason to think that this was Pyongyang.
The two pilots refused to accept that this was the DPRK because they had both been here before and seen the city. They called the Central Guard Bureau, China's secret service, right away to report what they had seen.
Some of the Premier's bodyguards rushed to the cockpit, where they also observed the significant modification to the window shield. By this point, everyone on board the aircraft had actually observed the altered and enormous metropolis from a significant height, and they were, to put it mildly, stunned.
The guards immediately called the flight control tower to confirm that this was Pyongyang, and they received a reply right away. The Premier's bodyguards wanted to turn the plane around and return to China to demand full explanations for what was happening.
What they were witnessing from above could not have been produced by a nation like the DPRK. They could see that there was a serious problem with the city even from a great height. The Chinese Premier, however, had other ideas. Here, he saw both potential and risk.
Instead of asking to be taken back, he requested that they be taken to the airport. He was curious as to why the city had altered. The aircraft quickly touched down on the runway and was led to the hangar. For the first time, reporters from media backed by the CCP were also permitted along with the Premier.
The Premier was initially astonished by this permission, but he did not prevent the media from following him. He could demonstrate to the nation that he had positive connections with the DPRK and increase public support in this way. The first people to exit the aircraft and begin taking pictures were the media.
They initially turned the camera around, but they quickly stopped since they couldn't believe what was being captured on camera. The airport had a surreal appearance. The airport's building construction appeared way too futuristic. Even though other airports frequently had a totally glass front wall, something about the glass gave the impression that this airport was different. Any jet may park nearby the airport because it was built as a massive circular construction.
This was very fine given there were numerous enormous airports nearby; they might not have been as large as others across the world, but they were still within acceptable limits. The planes in the distance were what gave them the shivers. Actually, the aircrafts couldn't be called planes. These planes had the ability to take off and land practically vertically. They looked something of the bigger shape of the Pelican aircrafts of Halo games. They did not hear any noise from the planes that had been flying in and out, which was another significant aspect of the aircraft.
Only difference was that the Pelican aircrafts in the game didn't have big thrusters but these huge planes had 4 thrusters. The reporters were shocked to see this and when the Premier came out waving his hand, he too stopped seeing the planes on the far side of the airport.
Both he and the other visitors who had accompanied him to this visit were unable to describe what was happening. He looked down to see some individuals waiting for him. And he didn't notice Kim Jong-un, any of his advisers, or any of the delegates who were close to him among them.
This was enough to alert the guards and the Premier, respectively. This seemed really suspicious.
"Sir, I believe we should return to the aircraft and request permission to take off. We still have fighter jets hovering above us." In front of the Premier's ears, one of the guards murmured.
"And do what? We are already on land. They only need to try and stop us from leaving." The Premier rebuked because he found the remarks of his own guards to be unbelievable. After they landed they couldn't go back and would have to face the whatever this was.
The Premier wasn't that afraid about what was happening because he could always command action in the borders by pressing a single button on his phone, but he did have his own ideas. He descended the flight of stairs gradually. A tall woman in a skirt and business attire stepped up to present the Premier with a bouquet of flowers.
"Welcome to North Korea. I hope you had a pleasant journey."
Numerous others who didn't appear to be North Koreans stood behind the woman next to her and gave the impression that they held important positions. Additionally, the woman's Mandarin was flawless, with no imperfect accents.
"I'm grateful. I don't see the young Supreme Leader of North Korea. Is he okay" The Chinese Premier was forced to inquire. He questioned because he felt a little degraded. How was this small country so bold when even when he traveled to Russia, the President of that nation came to greet him?
"Ah.. The Supreme Leader.. Well, we killed him." The woman's face was beaming with a big smile. The smile one flashes when conversing about everyday matters and making casual remarks in conversation. The Premier looked at the woman for a seconds and than burst out laughing.
The reporters could feel the tension but couldn't hear what was being said because they were still a short distance from the dialogue. The moment the woman said something, the guards' hands moved toward their weapons. It had already been tense, and it was on the verge of exploding apart.
"That was a nice joke." said the Premier.
"Hahaha.. I know. But it wasn't a joke. We killed his family and anybody who had done wrong to this country months ago." said the lady. That served as the catalyst. All of the guards' weapons were directed at the woman in response to what she said. There was an instantaneous rush and panic as some guards rushed forward to cover the Premier with their bodies and pull him back a few steps. However, as the two guards were pulling the Premier back, they suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.
And that wasn't the end; in the following second, all of the guards who were pointing their pistols at the woman also passed away. The holes on the foreheads of every single guard were distinct, and their expressions didn't even appear to register that they had just passed away.
The Premier who was being pulled behind stumbled a step and fell on one of the bodies of the guards. In the meantime, the Ghost Corps, who were in charge of killing the guards, emerged from stealth mode where they had been circling the area all along. The Premier was in extreme panic mode and without any hesitation he flicked the panic switch in his mobile.
This panic switch meant that he was in extreme danger and the military must be sent in the soonest way possible or in this case the two fighter jets that were hovering very high on the sky unseen by naked eyes would be called. Of course they wouldn't be able to attack but providing first hand images of the location of the Premier would do tons of good.
"You are insane. You killed a significant number of the guards and believe you can get away with it. I have already called the military and your country will be decimated in seconds. You believe that the only thing that can save you are nuclear missiles?"
The Ghost Corps, who were wearing a full suit of armor that rendered them invisible, caught the Premier's attention as he spoke. He didn't care that he didn't comprehend how they just materialized out of nowhere. He believed that he would die as a result of these insane people, and he was prepared to kill them along with him.
"Mr. Premier, why are you so sure that your military knows that you are in problem." The woman bent her knees, brought her face close to him and whispered in a very eerie voice.
"What.. What are you trying to say.." The Premier looked at his mobile to see that there was no response from the mobile. It's screen glowed and all but there was no satellite connectivity. These phones didn't work on normal towers and were directly connected to satieties so that they were always connected everywhere and every time but today it failed.
