In Fenglong'ao under the morning light, the sky is blue and the water is clear, and the peaceful days are just like the past.
The villagers generally didn't know what was happening in the world early in the morning. They got up early to eat as usual and prepared to go up the mountain and go to the fields to start the day's hard work.
From the perspective of the surrounding garrison teams: the situation seems to be exactly as reported by Wei Lan. After 27 cities around the world were intensively covered by big guns, other areas have become safer.
Because the Rejectors' monitoring revealed that the large-scale bulk ships were no longer cruising, starting last night, more than 70% of the country's mountainous teams received mobilization orders and set off to central cities to support and participate in the war.
Of course, the unnumbered team stationed around Fenglong'ao did not. They were emphasized to stay and be on heightened alert.
This external team was directly ordered by the Army Staff Headquarters to station defense here. At the same time, it secretly protected General Jiang Longchi, who seemed to have lost all memory, and spent the last years of his life.
Because they were prohibited from contact and investigation, the soldiers in the team did not actually know that there was actually another person in the middle-aged mountain couple beside the Shanwan Highway, the kind-hearted family that had accepted and supported General Jiang Longchi for three years. identity of.
"I heard that there were a lot of cars passing by last night, and the stones on the road were chattering all night long, so I thought business would definitely be good this morning."
When Han Youshan stood up, he held the rice bowl in his hands, put the chopsticks between the fingers holding the bowl, and had one hand free, ready to pat the TV on the cabinet.
The TV is facing snowflakes, because the signal in mountainous areas is always bad. This is a very common situation. In many cases, the picture will be visible after just two shots.
"Isn't that right? It makes me happy. I'm counting money in my dreams!" Zhang Jiexia, who was sitting at the table, raised her head and muttered sadly: "In the end, I don't know what they were rushing to do. They just went on like this, even a No one stopped to buy cigarettes.”
The couple did not know that most of the vehicles passing by in a hurry were actually from cities in this province and neighboring provinces that had not yet been attacked.
Wei Lan said that these cities are safe now, but people don't all believe it.
So some of them, those who had the conditions and ability to escape independently, took the lead overnight. When the city was no longer safe, they decided to run to the mountain villages and the most remote places.
"Master." Zhang Jiexia turned around and called out, in a very familiar tone that she was used to calling.
In fact, for a while in the past three years, the couple tried calling Jiang Longchi "Qingzi's godfather", but the word was too long and too difficult to pronounce. In the end, they decided to call him master instead.
"Huh?" Master Longchi, who was dressed as a monk, raised his head vaguely with a piece of lees meat and a big mouthful of rice in his mouth.
If it was night, he would have a small bottle of wine in front of him.
The villagers did not suspect that he was a fake monk because of this. There were rumors in the surrounding area that Master Longchi had real martial arts, but he didn't show it very often. Someone once saw him jumping onto the roof.
"I'm telling you, don't put your fortune-telling stall out today. It looks like no one will stop."
In fact, if a fortune-telling stall is set up, business may be particularly good today. In times of crisis, there will always be people who believe this and want to ask about the future.
But Zhang Jiexia didn't know.
"Okay." The old monk turned to look outside the door and said with a smile, "Then I will go to the village for a while... Don't worry, I won't get lost if I don't go too far, Amitabha."
In the past three years, the old monk has been lost several times. Every time, the Han family and the villagers would go out to look for him day and night. The old monk doesn't remember many people, but whenever he sees Han Youshan and his wife, he will remember them, apologize for the embarrassment, and then come back with them.
"Pah, pah...chi, chi!"
Under the slap, the TV screen suddenly flashed out.
"Oh!" Han Youshan was startled by the large group of monsters that appeared on the screen, and wondered why the movie was being played so early in the morning?
When I looked again, there was no station logo in the upper corner of the TV screen.
"Isn't it from a foreign station?" he said.
At the same time, the old monk turned around after hearing the sound, looked at the TV screen, and slowly froze.
The blue 24-hour cycle screen is now showing those battle scenes: a large shuttle-shaped aircraft landing, the big tip is terrifying, the soldiers draw their swords, shout and charge forward, the source energy device is roaring...
…………
"Ouch." When the screen turned back to the leader's speech, Zhang Jiexia finally understood. She panicked and dropped her chopsticks.
In fact, there have been many rumors about "the end of the world" in recent years, so much so that the mountain people here are already familiar with this term. However, every rumor in the past ended up being ignored, and life went on as usual.
"This time, it seems to be true." Zhang Jiexia said blankly.
"Well, those cars outside are probably those who escaped from the city." Han Youshan nodded.
"Then, what should we do? Qingzi's father...should we run away?" Zhang Jiexia was so panicked that she burst into tears.
She is the one who usually calls the shots in this family. The words she uses to call her husband vary according to her mood, such as "Hey", "Hey", "Who is that", "Han Youshan" and so on.
But when the critical moment comes and I have no idea, I naturally choose to rely on and obey my husband.
Often at times like this, she would call him, "Qingzi's dad".
"It's okay, it's okay... Look, the leaders here told us not to be afraid, saying that our places are still safe." Han Youshan himself was also panicked, but he tried to calm down, reached out and grabbed his wife's arm hard and said: " His old man also asked us to remember to plant the land. Those monsters probably won’t come to a place like ours to snatch food. Look at all the cars heading towards our countryside... Where else can we run? ah?"
Zhang Jiexia: "...Yeah."
"Besides, if we run away and Qingzi comes back, how will he find us?" Han Youshan murmured while trying to restrain his trembling.
Zhang Jiexia's eyes widened, "Oh! What should we do? Our Qingzi is still in the army, what should we do? Qingzi's father..."
What can be done? Except wait.
Han Youshan thought for a while, comforted his wife and said, "It's okay. Qingzi is in the army. The army has guns and cannons, so it is definitely the safest."
"Then, will they fight monsters?"
"No." Han Youshan turned around and pointed at the TV and said, "The TV said that there is another army fighting the monster this time. It seems to be called something like Azure..."
At this moment, the TV screen, which was filled with snowflakes, was fixed on the last photo, "One person, one city, fighting alone on the long street".
The photo was captured from a high altitude, and the people in the frame are unclear. The man standing holding the blue starlight pillar sword did not raise his head.
But the Han family looked at it and were both stunned...
They haven't seen their son in more than four years.
"Qingzi's father."
"Um?"
"I can't see this person clearly, but why do I feel familiar?"
"Yeah, I kind of do too."
"Then he is, isn't he?"
"No, we probably think too much, so we think it's the same. Actually, didn't you listen to the introduction? The TV said that this person is a very powerful, very powerful person... Just our little bastard, he couldn't pass the college entrance examination twice. , he can still reach a higher level?! No way."
Han Youshan turned his head as he spoke.
"Hey, where's the master?"
Zhang Jiexia also turned back: "Master?!"
"You're not scared, are you?"
"Don't get lost, at this moment..."
The couple became anxious, and one of them went to the front door to look for him while the other went to the back door to find him.
At this time, in the side master's own room, Jiang Longchi closed the door, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and opened the locker next to the wall.
In the bottom corner of the cabinet, he found an old but tough backpack and slowly opened it...
A set of numbered source energy devices and several source energy blocks appeared in front of him.
"Yes, I seem to be a general."
"I've been killing those monsters for what seems like a lifetime."
"..."
Three years later, Jiang Longchi has forgotten more things. He even forgot that that year, he came from the sea and was going to another place with a group of people.
All he remembered was these, the device and the battle.
With body awareness, General Jiang Longchi put on the device almost effortlessly.
After putting it on, he realized that his hands were still empty.
"There should be weapons."
"...I seem to have a small axe."
"Well, where's my axe?"
