Everything in the world is always in balance. How sweet it is when two people are together, how painful it is when they are separated. How much they are like glue, how much they are heartbreaking.
Chen Xing felt like he was covered in blood, his wounds were being torn open and healed repeatedly, and he was about to collapse.
He drank all day long and stumbled back to his house as the sun was about to set.
Under the setting sun, a slender figure stood by the door of the house, and the shadow on the ground stretched long.
Chen Xing looked familiar at first glance, but recognized him at second glance.
"Rat, why are you here!"
Chen Xing was a little surprised, and stepped forward to put his arm around the other person's shoulders, "Why, you knew I was in a bad mood, so you came here to drink with me."
This slender man is none other than Rat, the former leader of the Lightning Regiment and current leader of the second elite regiment of the Expeditionary Force.
In the previous life, Rat was the most suitable candidate in Tienuo's mind to continue the spirit of the Thunder Light Corps after Huozui Banglei. At the same time, he was also the flag officer responsible for carrying the flag in the regiment. According to the law of aristocratic succession, he is the third heir to the Thunder Light Regiment.
Rat's personality is not as fiery as the others, he is harmonious and has always acted as a lubricant in the team.
This may be the reason why Tie Nuo values him, because their group of big-headed soldiers are too hot-tempered and need someone to moderate them. It was Shen Guangming who played this role before, and later it was Rat.
Rat hesitated for a few seconds. He probably didn't come to Chen Xing for a drink in the first place, but he still nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
"Drink at home or find a small bar outside?" Chen Xing asked. Although their status has risen with the victory of the Silver Claw Principality, the quality of the small bar is already a bit low for them, but Chen Xing is worried that the rats have not gotten used to this change.
Drinking means finding an environment where you can relax.
"Go outside."
First, after a period of time, the two took a taxi to the civilian area in the north of Monitor City. They randomly found a noisy small bar and sat down to drink.
"Come!"
"drink!"
"Done!"
The rat was extraordinarily quiet today, drinking cup after cup with Chen Xing without saying a word.
When people are in a bad mood, they don't want to talk, but they can't stand loneliness. At this time, I hope there is someone by my side who can understand the pain in my heart, but will not touch the wounds easily.
If you don't tell, he won't ask, that's what brothers are.
But Chen Xing knew that Rat had something on his mind. I just saw him like this and didn't want to spoil his mood.
After two bottles of cheap rum, Chen Xing said, "Tell me, come to me today, what's the matter with you?"
"It's okay, I just want to meet the boss and have a drink." Rat said pretending to be relaxed, and called for two more bottles of wine, uncorked them and poured them for Chen Xing.
However, the gloominess in the rat's eyes could not escape Chen Xing's eyes.
"No, there's something wrong with you!" Chen Xing grabbed Rat's wrist.
"Really not..."
"Then drink!"
The two of them drank until midnight and drank seven or eight bottles of rum. The alcohol content is not particularly high, but it doesn’t stop me from drinking it cup after cup.
Chen Xing was already a little confused. He patted Rat on the shoulder and said vaguely, "Rat, look at us, we are doing well now..."
"You can have whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want."
"I'm telling you, now, now is just the beginning, there are still a lot of worlds ahead for us!"
"We, we will have our own country, and we don't have to look at other people's faces anymore! Is it nice to have wine to drink every day?"
I don't know whether it was the effect of alcohol or some other reason, but the expression on the rat's face became unbearable, his mood suddenly collapsed, and he burst into tears.
"It's fine, why are you crying?"
"Boss, boss, I, I..." Rat burst into tears, unable to say a complete sentence.
"Why are you crying? Didn't Tienuo teach you that men don't shed tears when they bleed?" A grown man burst into tears in front of him, and Chen Xing couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
"Yes, yes, what the boss said is..." Rat nodded desperately. After a while, his mood finally stabilized.
"Boss..." Rat stood up and walked to Chen Xing, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, "I... today..."
"I'm here to say goodbye to you today!"
In an instant, Chen Xing was stunned.
Like a bolt from the blue, he was suddenly stunned.
"What did you say?" He couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm here to say goodbye today." Rat repeated in a calm tone.
"You have to leave!" Chen Xing grabbed Rat's shoulders and looked at him with wide eyes.
The rat lowered his head and said nothing.
"You, say it again!" Chen Xing was a little hysterical.
"I, I'm just a deserter!" Rat collapsed again and cried loudly, "I'm sorry, boss, I can't hold on anymore..."
"I really can't hold on anymore."
"Tie Nuo is dead, Shen Guangming is dead, Hong Lei is dead, Tie Pao is dead, and Xiong Ben is dead!"
"You know, Tongluo is dead too!"
"The night before yesterday, the old gang in the city suddenly attacked the city defense, and the gong was just gone!"
"I watched him close his eyes. No matter how I called him, he couldn't wake up..."
"Brothers are dead and scattered. I don't know who will be next!"
"I don't want to go on anymore!"
"I'm just a deserter, I'm just a waste, but I really can't do it anymore!"
"I'm sorry Tienuo, I'm sorry you, I'm sorry brothers!"
"I really can't go on anymore..."
An iron-blooded man cried like this with his face covered with snot and tears, and he was in a state of embarrassment.
Chen Xing grabbed the other person's shoulder with all his strength, trying to persuade him to stay, but something seemed to be blocked in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
History repeated itself.
Tie Pao, Xiong Ben, and Tong Luo died one after another, and the rat left sadly.
It's like an invisible big hand, constantly pulling history back to its original trajectory.
Even though he killed the big demon that slapped him to death, he still couldn't stop everyone from leaving.
Is fate really unchangeable?
He had tried his best, but God still wouldn't let him go.
"Let's go..."
Chen Xing sat down slumped, looking at the wine bottle reflecting the light on the table, in a daze for a long time.
How the rat left was something he didn't see and didn't want to see.
The bar went from noisy to quiet and deserted. The waiter cleared the tables and chairs and the night passed.
Suddenly, there was a slight tingling sensation on my scalp.
"who!"
Even if I feel discouraged, the vigilance I have cultivated over the years is still there. Chen Xing jumped up suddenly and saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window.
He rushed out of the door, chasing the dark shadow that was peeping in the dark and plotting evil.
"Chase!"
Chen Xing gave an order, and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry rushed out, flying over a large number of Bat Knights.
The black shadow flashed left and right, escaping extremely fast.
"Don't let him get away!"
The army of goblins ran around in the streets and alleys, chasing after each other and bumping into things around them.
While running, the black shadow suddenly turned 180 degrees, and a red light cut through the dim morning. The goblin affected by it was instantly dismembered and fell into a large area.
"die!"
The black shadow was as fast as a leopard, jumping up from the ground and killing Chen Xing.
The murderous intent is permeated and the scalp is tingling, indicating that the opponent is extremely dangerous. Chen Xing made a prompt decision and summoned the burning warship.
"Woo..."
Amid the high-pitched whistle, the sea parted and the warship raised its head.
The aura of awe stirred up in all directions, and the warship, burning with blazing flames, sailed out of the spiritual sea, crashing into the black shadow with an indomitable momentum.
The black shadow seemed to have expected it, and turned around and fled without any hesitation. Rather than attacking, it was more like a feint shot to lure the burning warship to attack.
"Boom!"
The ship was so unstoppable that it knocked down half a residential building. Chen Xing hurriedly took back the warship. This is an urban area, and a little carelessness will cause civilian casualties.
As for the half of the building that collapsed, the matter has reached this point and can only be dealt with by calling the police.
"Lizard City Security Department, I am Chen Xing, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. I encountered an assassin in the city. The encounter may have caused some civilian casualties."
"Commander, please send the coordinates of the incident location and leave the scene as soon as possible to avoid exposing your identity. We will be responsible for the aftermath, please don't worry."
The successive blows, coupled with the effect of alcohol, made his mind extremely dull and he no longer had the energy to think about problems.
When the sounds of police cars and ambulances rang all around, he went straight home.
When he returned to the bedroom, he didn't take off his clothes and fell directly on the bed.
Not knowing how long he slept, Chen Xing woke up in a daze.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the housekeeper Lao K waiting by the bed.
The other party was holding a tablet in his hand, with a somewhat anxious look on his face. When he saw him waking up, he immediately activated the screen and handed it over, "Sir, look at this news."
When I picked it up, the city scene was being broadcast on the screen, and the announcer's voice came from the speaker.
"At 5:30 this morning, a major safety accident occurred in Beicheng District. It is suspected to be caused by the legendary powerhouse's mistake. It has caused 297 casualties so far..."
Chen Xing couldn't help but frowned. He clearly remembered that the building was in an abandoned state. A scaffolding had been erected outside and was being dismantled. If such a big movement was caused, there would definitely be casualties, but only a small number. It could not be a few. Hundreds of people.
The eyewitness interviews that followed were even more intriguing.
"I saw a big burning ship crashing into it like this. It was so scary!"
"This is the most tragic scene I have ever seen in my life. Fires are shooting into the sky, and countless people are burning and jumping off the buildings. It's really tragic!"
"We strongly condemn this irresponsible behavior. Even the lives of civilians are life. We strongly demand that the murderer be severely punished and justice be given to the people!"
"I saw that person, but it was still dark at the time, so I didn't see his face clearly. He had just come out of the bar at that time, and he smelled of alcohol. He must have been drinking all night, and he was walking staggeringly. Too drunk."
It was only about five o'clock in the morning, the light was dim, and there was no one around.
Obviously, this was a premeditated plan.
But Chen Xing only glanced at it for a few times, then threw it aside and ignored it.
After a while, he was sitting on the stairs, barefoot, drinking. Lin Shiyuan and Da Mao were dealing with banditry in Dashanling. Xiang Caidi, Jian Yue Canglian, and Huo Zui were probably troubled by the old Silver Claw Party. There was a mess everywhere, and he was not in the mood to deal with such small things.
Let others scold him. He no longer values his reputation and has completely given up on treatment. Anyway, he, as the commander of the expeditionary force, is only a matter of Aaliyah's words.
Aaliyah couldn't move him, even if the whole country was scolding him, no one would dare to do anything to him.
If Aaliya touches him, it will be useless even if he fights desperately.
He had completely thought about it, just drink and leave the rest to fate.
In the next few days, Chen Xing drank every day, skipping meals and just drinking. He was barely awake all day long.
Sometimes Xiao Yang was dragged by him to drink together, but Xiao Yang was only at the elite level, incomparable to Chen Xing's, and he was also very good at drinking. He usually drank half a bottle before he drank. Sometimes when I get excited, I will twist my butt, which makes me so horny.
The maids at home did not dare to approach Chen Xing. Their strength was limited, and they were afraid that Chen Xing would accidentally hurt them when he was drunk and crazy. A momentary mistake by a legendary strongman would be a disaster for ordinary people.
So when Chen Xing was drunk, only Xiao Yang and Lao K helped. Occasionally Ye Qian and Li Mei would pluck up the courage to help.
The two of them have been following Chen Xing for several years and have had close relationships, so they are less afraid than other girls.
Finally, after more than ten days, Xiao Yang couldn't stand it anymore and asked Lao K to discuss it.
"We can't let the boss drink any more, or his brain will be damaged if he drinks any more." Xiao Yang suggested, "How about we hide the wine. If he can't find the wine, he won't drink it."
"Master can go out to buy it." Old K sighed, "Going out to drink can easily cause trouble."
"We definitely can't let him go out again." Xiao Yang said and analyzed, "If there is no wine at home, he will ask me to go out to buy it. I will hang out for two or three hours and then come back. I have a gap period, which can at least let him Drink less.”
"Well, this is also a way..." Old K pondered, nodded, and agreed to Xiao Yang's proposal.
I have to say that if it hadn’t been for Xiao Yang’s bad idea, there would have been no subsequent accidents.
An accident that changed the entire world.
Xiao Yang is just a small cog in the train of destiny, but this cog has changed the trajectory of the entire world in its clumsy way.
If there was wine at home, Chen Xing would not sneak out that night or go to some Laoshizi wine club to drink.
Then the thing that would make him feel guilty and regretful for the rest of his life would not have happened.
Of course, there would be no subsequent legendary stories.
The position of Supreme Chairman of the Human Survival Council may remain vacant.
The growth of a man is always accompanied by endless pain and regret. On the stage of blood and song, only those who persist to the end can reap the fruits of victory.
Only those who grit their teeth and plunge into the darkness, but still stick to their true intentions, can realize their dreams.
