Go back to one day ago.
Antarctica, the icekeeper headquarters.
Wu Song took a deep breath and opened the door in front of him.
An old man with a withered face raised his head and looked at Wu Song with dull eyes.
"Mr. Zheng." Wu Song said respectfully, "The telegram Li just sent me said that the 249 scientific research station intercepted a 'Xu Terminal' and gained the ability to control ice and snow."
"It was made by Huo Yu. It can make two hundred humans become favored ones. There seems to be something in him that can turn the 'Ruins Terminal' into his own use."
Li was still very cautious. Although he learned that Huo Yu had a system, he did not choose to say it in the telegram.
The old man named Mr. Zheng took the document from Wu Song's hand, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Huo Yu." Mr. Zheng said in a hoarse voice, "As expected of his descendants, he indeed has a big secret."
"What does Li mean? What does he plan to do with this 'Xu Terminal'?"
Wu Song looked respectful and said solemnly: "The 'Xu Terminal' was captured by Huo Yu, and only he can use it, so Li proposed to hand over these favored people to Huo Yu."
"At least, his loyalty to humanity can be guaranteed."
Mr. Zheng raised his head and took a deep look at Wu Song.
The next moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "Then let's do it."
Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to walk out the door, he heard Mr. Zheng behind him continue to say:
"Xiao Wu, I don't have much time."
Wu Song's body trembled slightly.
"The ability to favor me has given me a long lifespan, but it only ends here. I can no longer survive this winter."
"It's a pity that the ancestor's last wish has not yet been fulfilled." Mr. Zheng's voice was full of regret and unwillingness.
"The Ice Keepers organization has not been disbanded yet."
. . . . . .
Huo Yu was a little confused when he saw the thirty or so energetic men in front of him saluting him.
The most important thing is that they call themselves webmaster, not webmaster Huo.
Chinese culture is vast and profound, and often a single word can have completely different meanings.
Stationmaster Huo represents a title that means respect and politeness.
But the word 'webmaster' represents the subordination relationship between superiors and subordinates, and generally only people of their own will call them this.
"Commander, what do you mean?" Huo Yu did not rush to reply, but looked at Li who was smiling at the side.
Li smiled and replied: "Don't you understand? This team of favored ones has a total of thirty people. They will be yours from now on. I will hand them over to you."
As soon as Li finished speaking, more than thirty quasi-favored people said in unison:
"I've met the webmaster. Please give me some advice, webmaster!"
Huo Yu opened his mouth in disbelief.
this......
It shouldn't be. When he asked to select the quasi-favored ones from the Chinese people, Li even expressed his opposition.
Did you hand over the command of these people to yourself today?
You know, this is the first team in human history with all the members of the Guardians. It can be said that everyone is a little superman.
It is most appropriate for this extremely powerful force to be controlled by Li, the ice guard commander-in-chief.
This is a double-edged sword that can be used to kill underground people, but it may also hurt yourself.
"I'll leave them to you. I'm old." Li pointed to his arm that had not yet healed. "I can no longer lead the soldiers to charge. The future belongs to you young people."
Li's eyes became lonely.
This old man has been working hard all his life and has been on the front line of the ice guards. He has never really relaxed for a moment.
Maybe now is the time for him to take a good rest.
Huo Yu also fell silent. Just when he was about to go up to comfort him, he heard Li continue:
"It doesn't matter to me. Just say something to your brothers first. From now on, you will be in the same boat."
Huo Yu slowly turned around and looked at the thirty pairs of eyes filled with passion and expectation.
These eyes are very bright, with the unique light of a newcomer, which makes people unable to help but indulge in them.
The thirty people he personally selected are all good, and each one is a Chinese warrior with faith and perseverance.
"Very good, very energetic." Huo Yu praised with a smile.
Everyone laughed in a dignified manner.
When the laughter gradually stopped, Huo Yu continued: "There is no need to introduce my identity again."
"No."
Although there was no rehearsal in advance, the voices of the thirty people were so uniform that they seemed to be spoken by the same person.
"There are only two things you need to do when you work under me..." Huo Yu paused for a moment, "obey...and trust!"
"There is no need to say more about obedience. All of you here are from the Chinese army. I have never doubted your obedience."
"And trust takes time to develop." Huo Yu's eyes were firm, "I trust the quality of Chinese soldiers, and I hope you can also trust me and my companions."
"As a former soldier and now an icekeeper, I will never betray everyone's trust."
"On the contrary, I can only have one voice on the battlefield. No matter how ridiculous the order is, you must execute it without hesitation. This is the trust I need you to give me back."
Huo Yu took a step back and signaled that he had finished speaking.
Bang bang bang——
Thirty people applauded in unison, looking excited.
Although Huo Yu didn't say anything inspiring, the bright brooch still boosted morale very well.
Li glanced at Huo Yu approvingly and said, "Now, give them a number."
"Number?"
"Of course, as the first human favored army, of course we must have a number exclusive for you."
Under the dim polar night, Huo Yu frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
The next moment, he looked at the dark sky and slowly opened his mouth:
"Just call...Night Watcher."
"Night Watcher?" Li Ruo thought thoughtfully, "Why do you have such a name?"
"This team was established during the polar night. Although the polar night is dark, it is a natural phenomenon of our blue star." Huo Yu said with firm eyes, "Just like the icekeepers, we must protect this night sky until mankind Welcome to the light.”
After that, Huo Yu slowly turned to the night watchmen and said in a deep tone:
"The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on until death. I will live and die faithfully. I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the Great Wall. I am the fire that resists the cold, the light at dawn, A horn that awakens the sleeping, a shield that protects the people. I dedicate my life and honor to the Night's Watch, tonight and every night."
"This is the night watchman!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and soon cheered.
At the beginning of this most extraordinary year, the Night Watch was officially established at the 249 Research Station.
