After a lot of tossing, Lin Yan finally fell asleep. He felt that soon after he closed his eyes, it was dawn and a new day had begun.
Early in the morning, I ate delicious python meat. Everyone feels happy.
Last night's battle was not in vain, at least two days of food was provided.
After eating and drinking, the felling begins. Although they are here for hunting, it is normal to cut down trees every day.
They want to hunt and drive out the ferocious beasts living in this jungle, develop new roads, and clear obstacles for the subsequent land reclamation.
The days that followed were anything but peaceful, with herds of ferocious beasts everywhere. When encountering herbivores, they mainly drive them away, but when they encounter ferocious carnivorous beasts, they can only fight to kill them.
Each team supports each other and runs back and forth every day, starting a hunt with fierce beasts chasing each other.
Lin Yan never had insomnia again. Being able to sleep peacefully every night was a luxury.
After more than half a month of this, Lin Yan felt that his body was more agile and had formed muscle memory. As long as he heard the warning, his body would act faster than his brain.
The fair skin and smooth hair that she had originally had no longer existed after more than ten days of running around and fighting. She had become a different person.
The golden hair is very messy, the brown skin is covered with scars, and the clothes are so wrinkled that the original color cannot be seen.
Not only her, but also the people who were in high spirits when they set out became like this.
This is a difficult hunt, and everyone has to pay a lot of money as they battle wits and courage with ferocious beasts every day. Some people died and some were injured, but the progress cannot be stopped.
Lin Yan was slashed with a gray wolf, and his face was spattered with blood.
Raising his hand to wipe it, Lin Yan retracted the knife and ran towards the other gray wolf. The area where they were was being attacked by hundreds of gray wolves.
Everyone is fighting hard. This is a life-and-death struggle. No one dares to relax even a little bit.
The gray wolf's ferocity and bloodthirsty will not let anyone go. In order to survive, we have to fight hard.
The battle lasted for a day. All 100 people from the first squadron gathered and finally wiped out all the gray wolves at the cost of their lives.
The battle was over, and no one spoke. They silently collected the bodies of their companions, dug a deep pit, and buried them on the spot.
Lin Yan felt heavy. She had seen too much bloodshed and sacrifice these days, and she felt suffocated. He is still too weak and has no weapons to defeat the enemy, so he can only fight with his flesh and blood.
Lan Yue silently patted her shoulder and whispered: "Go back, the person who came to see you has been waiting for two days."
Lin Yan casually pulled a handful of leaves, wiped the blood on the blade, and said after a while: "I know."
"Don't be sad, do what you should do." Sensing Lin Yan's silent pain, Lan Yue couldn't help but comfort her, "Today's sacrifice is for a better future. We all understand that the future will not be smooth. We will definitely experience more bloodshed and struggle. In fact, if you think about it, we have made a lot of progress compared to ten years ago. We have the courage and confidence to fight with ferocious beasts, and we no longer have to die."
Lin Yan hugged Lan Yue and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, this situation won't last long. Bai Chen is researching explosives, and these beasts will soon pay the price. Take care , I’ll leave tomorrow.”
Lan Yue nodded silently.
That night, the atmosphere in the camp was gloomy and heavy, and everyone did what they were supposed to do in silence.
After dawn, Lin Yan packed up and prepared to return to Sun City. Before leaving, she solemnly bowed deeply to everyone and said in a deep voice, "Take care."
The people who escorted Lin Yan back were Huang Qing and two other soldiers. They were all people who had gone through many bloody baptisms. They were agile and powerful.
The bloody cruelty of these days made Huang Qing's face become more resolute, his eyes were calm, and all the emotions he felt when they first met him had long been hidden.
Sun City was right in front of him. Lin Yan stopped and faced the three of them and said solemnly: "Go back and take care along the way."
The three of them nodded in response, and Huang Qing said, "You two go over there and wait. I have something to say to Lin Yan."
After watching the person walk away, Lin Yan stared at Huang Qing, waiting for him to say.
After the words were spoken, Huang Qing looked directly into Lin Yan's eyes and asked seriously: "Is our sacrifice really worth it?"
Like a sharp knife thrust into his heart, Lin Yan has been wavering and wavering these days. In fact, they could have developed slowly and conquered later when they had powerful enough weapons.
Seeing people of flesh and blood fall forever, her heart was torn in torment.
She also asked herself, is it worth it and is it right? However, there is no answer to everything, and any choice must bear a corresponding price.
Seeing Lin Yan's silence, Huang Qing pursed his lips and said again: "Is it worth it? Every soldier is tempered by severe cold and heat, and anyone's sacrifice is heartbreaking. I know the mission of soldiers, but Sorry for their loss."
"I'm also sad and sad." Lin Yan suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and his eyes were clear. "Have you ever thought that someone has to do these things? Today we choose to escape and huddle in the Sun City. How can our descendants do the same? Has it always been like this? To be honest, I can’t do it. I want to get out of this narrow world and explore a wider world in my lifetime.”
Huang Qing was silent for a moment, "I understand."
"Go back, protect yourself, do what you need to do, and leave everything to time."
Huang Qing nodded and turned around. I have long known in my heart that once the hunting operation has begun, it will not stop.
Lan Yue personally led the team, and Lin Yan accompanied him, which foreshadowed the courage to move forward. They are all still young and full of ambition, and nothing can stop them from moving forward.
Looking back on the changes over the years, Huang Qing is deeply impressed by the young people of his generation, who can lead more people to live a good life.
The personnel changes in the Arbitration Court also indicate that the future direction will be controlled by Lin Yan and his generation, and the process of conquest will not stop.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Qing put away the questions in his heart. He would never ask such questions again in the future, just follow them and be a qualified soldier who obeys the command.
Watching the figures of Huang Qing and the others gradually disappearing, Lin Yan looked up at the blazing sun above his head, thinking that since he had made his choice long ago, he would just go all the way to the end.
After going home, washing up, and changing into clean clothes, Lin Yan went to the Arbitration Court.
The theme of this time's parliament is the negotiation for Mingwan Village. The time is ripe for the alliance to have one more member.
Seeing Shui Sheng, Lin Yan smiled back and sat down next to him, "I'm a busy man. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your dark circles are getting worse."
"Oh, you're about the same, so don't laugh at me." Shuisheng counterattacked, "You're really good. You arrived so late at the last minute, I thought you wouldn't come."
The two exchanged a few words and the meeting officially began.
