The soldiers came from afar and quickly occupied all entrances and exits of the street. Hundreds of heavy tanks and armored vehicles cooperated with each other, forming combat squads, driving into the hidden spot amid the deaf-deaf engine roar, with the muzzle and the machine gun mount open, closely watching any slight movement around. The military police with the white "guard" logo on the upper end of the left arm patrols back and forth on the street. The civilians and military families were silently staying at home, waiting for the lifting of temporary martial law.

Panic and murder were everywhere over the entire Xijing City. The dull atmosphere suppressed people almost breathless, as if they could suffocate at any time.

The key obstacles on the periphery of the Third Army Command." They have been fully taken over by the Special Guard Corps. These soldiers with the lowest ranks are also warrant officers, and are absolute confidants under Qi Yue's control. The garrison troops in a radius of several kilometers have been replaced, and even the entrance whistle to the headquarters building has been completely blocked by more than ten amazingly powerful tanks. The leader of the colonel officer stood at the intersection and made cold answers to all the relevant personnel who wanted to enter it without any change or room for negotiation.

“During martial law, passage is prohibited—

”

Inside the building, all corridors and rooms were completely cleared. Nearly a hundred armed teams composed of low-level parasites and advanced evolutionary soldiers patrolled back and forth between the corridors. In addition to an elevator guarded by heavy troops, "the core personnel directly controlled by core personnel, various passages leading to the underground were also completely closed.

Six electronic reconnaissance vehicles slowly moved near the building, constantly firing invisible interference electricity to the naked eye, completely closing the dark sky covered by the radiation cloud, forming a thick, insurmountable obstacle.

The special protective room, located more than 5,000 meters underground, is covered with a steel-concrete composite stacking layer of hundreds of meters thick. It can withstand the attacks of various special ground-based bombs, and also block all channels for sound transmission. Even if it has a remote sensing satellite made by high-tech in the old era, it is impossible to know what the people hidden in it said and did.

This is a huge room with an area of ​​no less than the second floor office. Various types of instruments and furnishings "divided the space into semi-independent places that connect each other. The utensils in the room have a rich military style. The neatly arranged and show the owner's slim pattern. Especially hanging on the surface of the wall, there are as many as hundreds, which belong to the cold and hot weapons of different eras" directly show the owner's fanatical preference for this.

Sitting on the sofa, across a mahogany coffee table with various drinks and cigarettes, Qi Yue still felt the illusion that he was in a fantasy dream.

The last sentence "is a secret that only he and Lin Xiang really know.

Even a brave general who is the best in the three armies has unknown secrets and cowardice. Just like a brave man who kills people, it is impossible to tell others that he is afraid of cockroaches. Qi Yue will not tell others how desperate and fear he is when he is infected by the virus.

The only person who can say that is the real Lin Xiang.

“It’s hard to believe that he’s still alive.”

Lin Xiang obviously regretted the pursuit of past memories. He took a sip of the slightly hot black tea in the cup and sighed: "It's really hard to believe it. However, this is indeed true."

"We" always thought you were dead."

Qi Yue murmured, and a crystal-rolling liquid flowed in his eyes. He tried his best to control his emotions and prevent them from overflowing from the socket. However, the result of this made the shadow in his sight, who had been away for a long time, become more blurred.

"My is indeed dead. It is the will of the virus that made me survive again."

Lin Xiang's voice became gentle and low: "Even I myself did not expect that they actually had the powerful force to fight nuclear explosions. Using radiation" to cause genetic mutations in evolution...

Maybe, now I am just a complex life form with humanoid form, not a real human."

"Tell me, how have you been here over the years? Why haven't you come to us all the time?"

Qi Yue obviously did not notice the irrelevant words in his words, but paid more attention to the questions he raised.

"Speaking of it" is a very long story."

Lin Xiang put down the teacup in his hand, "sighing with a smile on his face that has become history."

“We have time now.”

Qi Yue rubbed his hands hard, exhaled a long-lasting breath, and said in a trembling tone with fanatical thinking controlled by impulse and jidàng, "Speak! I want to hear it! Say everything you know"

Lin Xiang’s story is very long.

The contents include sobering from sleep, thinking for the first time "the first action, the first murder, and the first time realizing the difference between the wasteland world and the old era.

To this day, he still remembers the various complex consciousnesses that once occupied his thinking space at that time.

Fear, panic, confusion about the unknown world, and entanglement in pain and predicament are enough to drive people crazy and hunger at that time, whether it is death or survival, it is a kind of boundless fear shrouded in darkness.

From Yinyue Town to the imperial capital, from the unknown wanderer to the high-ranking emperor. No one has ever thought about the abnormal identity transformation of Jionghu, nor has he ever expected it to change. The control of countless lives between turning around, the comparison of a piece of bread and billions of resources on the scale, the simple slum and the luxurious and glorious palace hall

...The encounters in life are so mysterious, touching and enviable," which makes people look up to the sky and scold the unfair fate, but they have to lean over and face the reality honestly.

Hanging from the wall, the thick and short hand has repeatedly stroked through twenty-six scales.

On the dining car next to the sofa, there were empty dishes and bowls with oil. There were still rice grains, leftover vegetables, and broken bones that had not been eaten. More than a dozen empty wine bottles were thrown on the surface of the carpet. In the wide-mouthed glass jar, gray-white cigarette ashes were piled up layer by layer, like strange-shaped hills.

"Unexpectedly" you turned out to be the emperor of the Longteng Empire."

Qi Yue sighed deeply, pulled the buttons on the collar of the combat uniform, and sighed and shook his head repeatedly.

The deep eyes of his eyes obviously contained something that had not been completely said. There were surprises and shocks, and there were also faint worries and doubts. Among them, some of them could be easily understood by Lin Xiang, while others could not be understood by simply watching.

Time is enough to change the existence of the universe that is called eternal and unchanging.

For a full hundred years, human thinking and beliefs will also weaken and change as the passage of time passes. No one can be sure that you, a hundred years ago, will be able to completely overlap without any difference with him, a century later.

But no matter what, some things will continue to exist. Even if there are occasional ties, the difference is only 100% and the gap between 99%.

Qi Yue is still Qi Yue. From the school official he first met in Kunming City to the general who is now self-respecting, his mentality and way of thinking have certainly changed. In reality, while making a certain decision, he must first consider the future fate of the millions of soldiers and civilians under his command.

Very normal.

Not surprising.

It's natural.

Lin Xiang had always thought about what to capture, what to get, and what to get from Qi Yue.

The reason why I sneaked into the Red Republic Army alone was not so much for the sake of profit, but to remove the invisible shackles deep in my heart and see those living friends, that's all.

He knew that he must have deep regrets and regrets for himself, "both Qi Yue or Fang Yujie."

At that time, if time could go back, they would definitely not let themselves stand in front of the underground shelter. "Looking alone at the nuclear bomb falling in the sky, silently guarding the steel gate behind them.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiang showed Qi Yue his identity as an emperor to Qi Yue without reservation. He didn't want the other party to feel that he still felt guilty towards him and was unwilling to let Qi Yue have the idea of ​​having to compensate him. Only in this way can the emperor and the general be equated. Without barriers, true friendship can be guaranteed.

"It's time to tell your story."

He picked up a bottle of aged white wine and filled two empty wide-mouthed glasses. Lin Xiang took a sip of the cigarette between his fingers and sprayed out a thick and smoky smoke, and said with a pleasant voice with a smile: "Or, it should be your story."

Holding up the wine glass, Qi Yue felt that his thoughts had traveled through time and returned to the era of death full of excitement and movement.

.

A school-level officer shot and killed a ministerial-level official of the Republic who held great power in full view of the public. This was tantamount to anyone's crazy impact.

There is no doubt that Chen Guangzong had to swear. This was the consensus of everyone in the underground base at that time standing in front of the electronic monitoring screen. If the electronic controller was not snatched from the high-ranking minister and put the steel gate, thousands of military and civilians in the base would be buried with him.

Lin Xiang is a commendable hero. He exchanged his life for everyone's chance to survive.

At that time, everyone agreed with this lamb, but this situation did not last long.

After the nuclear explosion, the earth was a mass of chaos trapped in the darkness and coldness.

No one can predict how long the nuclear winter will last. When people live, they must find enough value and goals for themselves. Naturally, although there are only a few thousand survivors in the underground base, they still maintain a sufficiently stable social structure.

Among them, in addition to soldiers, there are civilians and officials of different levels.

Humans are easily living in groups according to the old thinking concepts, even when the world is completely destroyed and the surface radiation is struggling to dissipate, differences and differentiation gradually emerge.

Officials and civilians are two completely different social classes.

The underground base does not require any work. Apart from reading, gaming, and watching entertainment programs stored in computers, the only thing that can be done is to sleep and sway, even in this closed environment where there is no money as a value equal to the value, people still try to create a new hierarchical order.

The order of food distribution, the types and quantity of food that each person can get. "The time to watch movies and TV shows, the first choice to read books, and even things like the location of chuáng shops that seem unimportant will cause conflicts. Officials who are used to becoming privileged classes cannot tolerate the situation where ordinary civilians confront themselves. People's survivors also sneer at these officials who still have the concept of identity. As an indispensable action to maintain the stability of the base, a considerable number of soldiers were assigned to become new managers. Some people showed extreme resistance to this," and even repeatedly claimed: "The old system must be broken, otherwise, Lin Xiang's action of shooting and killing Minister Chen to protect us is meaningless."

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Including Qi Yue, he himself did not expect that "Lin Xiang would become the best excuse for the rebels to deal with management. They claimed that they must "break everything" and rebuild order." There were also two arguments within the army, and they even questioned whether Lin Xiang's actions should be advocated?

Or should he be completely captured as a "hero"?

Even, to throw him into the abyss and punish the same crime as a rebel?

During that period, "the order of the underground base was extremely chaotic. After all," including General Lu Yulin, Qi Yue and Fang Yujie, senior officers, were indeed unmatched in how to fight, research, etc., but they were not qualified public managers and did not form enough prestige. In the case of complete cut off external communications, how to ensure the survival of the population has become the first issue that the two factions of the base must consider.

General Lu Yu and Lin have always refused to use the blood left by Lin Xiang for transformation. In his words, "Infinite life itself is an extremely terrifying concept. If you don't know when you will die, you will never be able to get rid of the pain and torture that exists in the world. When you have to die one day but don't want to die, you have already formed habitual thinking, which is enough to drive normal people crazy in an instant.

The huge contrast "no one can accept it. Instead of surviving and enduring this infinite pain, it is better to obey the normal laws of living things and die."

After the general passed away, the chaos in the underground base began to intensify.

As a military successor, Qi Yue advocated severe punishment for the leader. He did not kill him, and did not think that he would be respectful and effective.

Fang Yujie objected to this. Her main identity is still a biological research scholar. According to her at the time, "biological population survival" must ensure that there are a certain number of individuals. When external communication is completely cut off, the number of existing survivors in the base can only be used as the basis. Embryos accumulate by collecting semen and refrigerating eggs, so that they can naturally give birth to offspring. At present, "the amount of food and drinking water remaining in the base is limited, and no one knows how long will the nuclear winter last? We cannot carry out large-scale biological replication." We can only use existing living resources as reference to appropriate individual supplementation on the basis of maintaining the current number. Compared with population continuation, "temporary interest disputes and social class conflicts can be dealt with. Even if the main evil is punished for death, we must wait until all the radiation on the ground has been dissipated."

When you are sure to return to the ground, you must know that when humans are truly facing the critical moment of genocide, even the thief who kills people and the right to destroy the country must still ensure their survival. For the future, they are the seeds."

In the face of the debate between justice and justice, Qi Yue could only surrender and chose the latter unconditionally.

He knew that Fang Yujie's theory was actually not wrong. Whether in terms of feelings or reality, she hated those who raised or suppressed Lin Xiang more than herself. If it were not for the unpredictable future, she would probably be more impulsive than herself, picking up the fighting knife and tearing those guys who fought for power to pieces.

Lin Xiang sat silently on the sofa, slowly shaking the residual wine in the cup. The expression on his face was a little dazed, a little relieved, and even more emotion and confusion that could not be expressed in words.

Examples of dead people being used by living people are everywhere in human history.

Whether heroes or criminals, they have retained a sufficiently solid position in the minds of future generations.

It is precisely because of their existence that the world is divided into two factions: justice and evil.

...There are not many people like myself who are given two names at the same time, who are "comparable" to them.

Brilliant or humble are actually blown up.

The dead man has long been gone, and you will never know what he has done.

The focusless gaze fell to where it fell. Of course, Lin Xiang's abnormality at this moment was not hidden from his eyes. He moved his hands and feet, which were a little numb, and after several minutes, Lin Xiang pulled himself out of his deep thoughts and squeezed out a smile: "Tell me about the great leader! How did he appear?"

Jin Tianzheng is a legend among the survivors of underground shelters.

His identity in the old era was a deputy section-level civil servant of the director of the street office. Compared with other Shangguan who escaped into the shelter, "with the title of director, mayor, etc., he was like an ant ignored by countless giant elephants. It could not be taken seriously or not worthy of attention. He could only live humblely and silently.

He is a staunch supporter of Lin Xiang's heroic argument. His face seems to always have a smile and a natural affinity. No matter who has difficulties, as long as he speaks out, the person who first responds and provides help is definitely him.

Take the initiative to distribute food with the guards, clean up the dirt in the bathroom of the base, and check the situation of various warehouses inside the base, and collect data on the temperature and humidity of the residential area on time.
