Early the next morning, the sun rose quietly, washing away the heavy rain of the night. The gentle sunshine passed through the dense clouds and sprinkled on the deserted city. The once prosperous city is now in ruins, with ruins, collapsed buildings and broken streets forming a silent picture.
Under the sunlight, the drops of water slowly slid down, like crystal pearls, sprinkled on the dilapidated streets. The gentle sound of the breeze blowing the ruins could be heard in the distance, which seemed to be the sighs and whines of the city. But amid this desolation, the power of nature offers a glimmer of hope.
The sun emerged from the gap in the clouds, and a beam of bright light illuminated the corner forgotten by time. This light passes through the broken windows and shines on the ruins, outlining traces of memories eroded by time. Staring at these dilapidated buildings, it seems that you can hear the hustle and bustle of the past, which was the pride and prosperity of this city.
Although the city is now silent, the call of the sun brings life. Lonely plants tenaciously stretch out their green branches and leaves from the chaotic piles of stones. They are the most tenacious witnesses in this ruins. The breeze is blowing this little grass, which seems to be telling the persistence of life and the desire for the future.
In this ruins destroyed by the war, the sunlight is warm and bright, directing the eyes of the creatures into the distance. Although the cruelty of reality forced them to face endless battles and hardships, at this moment, they saw the seeds of hope, like re-establishing a beautiful vision of peace, which seemed to be gradually sprouting in their hearts.
The two ambitious young people who had slept well also got up from the bed at this moment. After packing everything, they put on their backpacks and poked their heads out of the ruined basement.
"Let's go! Follow us!" Yan Hanjun said happily, turned around and took Ye Ning away.
Ye Ning followed him for a few steps, then felt that something was not right. Ye Ning has always had a good sense of space and direction. He has a general impression of the road he has walked. Even when he gets into a taxi in a strange city, he can feel that the taxi driver has detoured him.
Even if he came here because it rained heavily yesterday and he couldn't see the road clearly, Ye Ning had no idea where he was. Now relying on the sense of direction in my mind, I have basically determined that this is not the way home, this seems to be the way to another direction.
"Did we go the wrong way? If we go back to Night City, we should be over there." Ye Ning patted Yan Hanjun, then pointed in the direction, thinking that Yan Hanjun had taken the wrong way and wanted to go back to Yan Hanjun. Right path.
But who knows, Yan Hanjun said very relaxedly: "I know, but we are not going back to Night City. I never said we were going back to Night City."
Hearing this, Ye Ning's thoughts were spinning rapidly. It seemed that Yan Hanjun had always been talking about departure, but he hadn't really said where he was going? So, Ye Ning quickly asked: "Then, where are we going?"
Yan Hanjun shook the backpack behind him, and the two firearms rang out. Yan Hanjun looked like it was natural and said very calmly: "I came here to test the weapons. I didn't fire a single shot, so I just went back? "
Si, it seems that Yan Hanjun really came here to do this. Besides, Yan Hanjun is locked up in the research institute every day. It's rare for him to have a day to stretch his muscles and go out for a walk, so he definitely doesn't want to go back so soon. So he then asked: "Then why do we need to take away the bed? Isn't it good to just live there?"
"Oh, that pig keeps wandering around the deserted city. It is definitely dangerous to stay in one place in the deserted city. You can avoid encountering it by walking around. Wandering around, wandering around, the world is big, and there is a home everywhere. They can all become families." Yan Hanjun said jokingly.
But then, his language and expression became serious again: "This time, testing weapons is only one of them, and it is not the most critical point. The most important thing is to take you for a walk, stroll around, and understand the world. Long experience."
"Huh?" Ye Ning was stunned for a moment. After making sure that he heard correctly, he asked, "Take me to learn more? Why?"
At this moment, Yan Hanjun said earnestly like an old father: "Learn more and avoid detours. When you understand the habits of more creatures, it will be very easy to interact with them in the future."
Ye Ning agreed with this. When he thought of Sima Ning holding down the red deer that was stronger than him, Ye Ning could guess that it was because of his personality. This is also the advantage of these bounty hunters.
And looking at Yan Hanjun's vow, he must have dealt with monsters a lot when doing research. He probably knew more about their habits than Ye Ning, so he dared to say that he wanted to be a leader.
"As for taking less detours." Yan Hanjun's voice became very serious and serious at this moment, and he said righteously: "This is the most important reason why I am taking you for a walk now. I hope you will open your eyes wide. Open your ears, see clearly, hear clearly, use your brain, and think clearly.”
"During this process, I hope you will forget your identity as a soldier. It is best to forget this identity in the future. There are sensible people among humans now, but they are definitely not those two commanders. You are in this army If you continue to take it with you, it will only harm you."
Listening to these words, Ye Ning felt strange. It seems that Yan Hanjun is still trying to get into trouble. Although he is a little resentful about the punishment of Lin Jingfeng by the two commanders, you can't do the same.
Yan Hanjun also understood the meaning in Ye Ning's expression and explained: "The collapse of a building is often not caused by external forces in a moment. If nothing else happens, as long as these two commanders do not fall, you will always be in this army. If we stay here, there will be problems with the system of this army. In name, it is no longer a regular army of the alliance, but a private armed force of the two commanders."
"And you should watch your name tag carefully. You can just be a bounty hunter now. The former soldier Ye Ning will treat him as dead. From now on, he will use another identity to see the world clearly."
"In this way you will understand how the current world works and what the current world is like. Only then will you understand more clearly where the current military has gone wrong."
"I know that the army has taken you for a long time and protected us for a long time. He has protected us for nearly a hundred years. But he was indeed wrong, but no one knows what the right path is. The army will not try, but We have to go!”
Yan Hanjun's voice was low and powerful, with an air of authority. Every syllable is pronounced clearly without any haste or hesitation, exuding an air of seriousness and concentration.
"Oh, you seem to understand very well." Ye Ning responded half-jokingly.
Yan Hanjun led the way attentively while responding to Ye Ning: "I have told you this issue before. What you see, hear, and come into contact with now, think that the army is perfect. They are all things. What the military wants you to see, what they want you to know. They will only let you know their strengths and not their weaknesses."
"Every ruler is like this. This is the most important step, unity of thought. The military is the thought above those who share the same military. Including you, Ye Ning, do you feel that only those with superpowers can Is it the power of mankind to win?”
"Isn't it?" Ye Ning asked.
"Yes, but it is definitely not the only one. Just because it is the most obvious one, the military has denied all other paths. It's not that other paths are impossible, it's just that you haven't noticed it."
"The military has changed. I have read history books and watched related movies. Our military used to be invincible, obey orders, and serve the people. But what about now? Since the emergence of superpowers, which replaced the previous soldiers, A lot of good traditions have disappeared.”
"No." Ye Ning retorted: "We are still fighting for humanity. Our rules are to do our best to protect everyone, including ordinary people."
Yan Hanjun directly interrupted Ye Ning: "It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing to do it. When has Wu Yu not put the safety of people with superpowers first? As the top leader of the military, what can he do? Have you ever cared about ordinary people?"
"The reason why you have such rules is because ordinary people still have value, and the top talents in technological manufacturing are still ordinary people, so they have no choice but to follow these rules to maintain stability."
"Think about it again, if you are really just fighting for humans, then why do so many superpowers become city lords? To better serve the people? They don't even have professional knowledge, how can they do it?"
"In the final analysis, you low-level soldiers just don't feel it. In fact, everyone feels it. The military wants to be the regent, and it also wants to seize the right to rule. Once the battle with the monsters is won, they will take over the ordinary people. People are treated like slaves.”
Ye Ning was about to refute, but was immediately interrupted by Yan Hanjun: "If you don't want to, it's you. People with superpowers are wolves with sharp teeth and claws, and ordinary people are lambs without horns. This will really allow for peaceful coexistence. ?"
Ye Ning fell into deep thought. Yan Hanjun continued to add: "It's not that the institute has done nothing, we have been hiding it. The institute wants ordinary people to have the right to live! And I have a bolder idea that is closer to the situation at hand."
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I'm afraid you won't believe or agree with what I said. So, I will take you with me this time to show you what I think is the way out of this current situation. "
