"Our previous generation, about thirty or forty years ago, was not like this..."
The background is still a volcanic area. Since it has been determined to be "sold" to the fire-loving red dwarf tribe, this area will naturally be retained.
Each special service team also followed the order and started their work.
Part of them is exterminating the new monsters. The red dwarf priests have been contacted, but it will take a week at the earliest to arrive. During this period, a certain "maintenance cost" will be required.
For Lu Ping'an, this is a good thing... In the volcano, a red beast egg is still absorbing nutrients and geothermal heat and incubating.
Give it more nutrition and time and it should become more complete.
Some of the SWAT teams went back to sleep... The first team and the fourth team both took a short rest and went back to the battlefield after completing three days of continuous rotation. They have already reached their limit and it is time to relax.
The battlefield here is left to the fifth team and the third team... However, the relationship between these two teams is still a little embarrassing, mainly because the fifth team is not very raising its head now.
But work still needs to be done. Before the reinforcements of the "gods" arrive, regular clearing must be carried out. Compared with the previous fight, the pressure has actually been greatly reduced.
For some reason, the strength of the newly born monsters has also been significantly weakened. Even the temperature and sense of otherworldliness in this foreign land are obviously not as strong as before.
The reason for this is intriguing, but it is certainly a good thing for those on duty.
A blockade was set up on the outside, and regular processing was carried out inside... The only thing worth mentioning is probably that before the first and fourth teams evacuated, several teams joined together to clear the people on the fourth and fifth floors of this shopping mall. There was a cleanup.
Then, they went about doing whatever they had to do with tired faces.
Only Captain Lu Jun, who was working hard, not only did not leave, but also stayed in high spirits to talk to Lu Pingping.
Looking at the sleeping volcano, he seemed to be caught up in memories of the past, and talked to Lu Ping'an about some past events.
"...My previous generation, at that time mystery was still in the shadows, and we secret keepers were the real secret walkers. In fact, everyone envied ordinary people in the light who could live a comfortable and carefree life. A life of worry..."
Lu Jun's eyes seemed to have traveled through time and the past.
In the old days when he was a child, the connection between gods and the mortal world was not as close as it is now, and all kinds of strange creatures and supernatural phenomena were kept out of public view.
A night watchman who secretly protects the public? Hehe, they are just some unlucky people who lost their daily lives due to accidents.
Life has entered a countdown. In order to continue your life, you must advance. You must enter this extremely dangerous and dark world, and exchange your military exploits for higher-level knowledge and resources.
Perhaps, he also saved many people along the way.
But there are some things that you just can’t stop doing.....
"It's already a bad life, at least it will start to work..."
My father, uncle, and grandfather all came here like this, counting the days and enduring the years.
However, sometimes despite enduring it, what you want most is still...
"...Many people even curse their own fate, curse themselves and why others can live like human beings. But what they desire most is for the achievements of their predecessors to be known and for the sacrifices of their companions to be remembered. , instead of when he fell, he didn’t even have a burial place for his body..."
Lu Jun looked at Lu Ping'an, and indeed he had a smiling but indifferent face. This young man did not pretend to be scared, did not express his loyalty, or even listened to his heart.
Lu Jun smiled. Times have indeed changed. Young people in the new era have their own ideas.
"... When I first became the secret keeper, times were different. At that time, many secrets had been forced to be disclosed. People at the bureau level basically had an understanding of pollution and occupations, and the number of people dealing with the increase day and night was The pressure caused the power of the Church of Gods to increase crazily. The so-called righteous god admission system was also established at that time. By the way, there is also the special service team system..."
The independent hunting organizations that were originally in the shadows began to gradually come to the forefront, forming a special police force system directly under the official government.
There is no other reason, it is exactly the same as now, it is just because the original "manpower reserve" is not enough, and the establishment needs to be expanded to deal with more and more supernatural cases.
"...Now, it is obvious that there is another round of expansion. The army and large groups are fighting on various large foreign lands and battle lines. Even in relatively safe cities, the official force of 'police' is no longer enough. , perhaps, a large number of civilian forces will be mobilized next, but what is that? The era of the great militia? Or the era of the universal superman?"
Lu Jun's words were full of self-deprecation. What does this mean? In order to avoid contaminating the expansion of knowledge, my ancestors and fathers have done a lot to keep secrets and even kill people to silence them. Now they are just starting to teach?
The sight was full of strange and unacceptable new gadgets, placed in my grandfather's eyes... No, when I was young, did alien gods settle in the city? For a crime against humanity, execution is a light sentence.
Now, what was considered a serious crime in the past is now regarded as a daily routine. Although it is not incomprehensible, I always feel uncomfortable in all aspects, very uncomfortable.
Are we considered the remnants of the old era or the stepping stones of the new era?
In the end, all the sighs can only be reduced to one sentence...
"Times have changed..."
What Lu Pingan saw, heard and thought, others were not blind and naturally had their own plans.
Lu Ping'an smiled, but felt a little impatient in his heart. His time was very precious, and he was not just for you to reminisce about the bitterness and sweetness.
What's next? Moral education or feelings of family and country?
"Do you think I am telling you this to ask you to work hard, strive for progress, and fight to protect your home and country? Haha."
Isn't it? Lu Jun's sudden smile surprised Lu Ping'an.
"No, I just said that in the torrent of the times, we are nothing. We are just a special service team. In the final analysis, we are just a member of the 'security' force. Catching supernatural criminals is our limit. Want to do something bigger Of course, there will be a stronger organization and a bigger stage to welcome you."
Lu Jun was very calm. He had a reason to talk to Lu Ping'an in private. Whether it was information with a high confidentiality level that even the deputy director of the local Alien Affairs Bureau could not access, as well as the potential that the young man showed now, he was sure... ....
"...You will definitely have a bigger stage in the future, but now, you are a policeman, and security is your job, so as long as it is for the sake of order within the scope of your work, you can just go ahead and do it. ....."
This couldn't be said clearly, but Lu Ping'an understood it.
What can provide order? strength.
What is power? Stronger equipment and more human resources means that such taboo things as "smuggling arms" and "privately hoarding arsenals" will be fully protected by it.
If the red dwarf arsenal is really established in Zion District, several special service teams in the entire Zion District will be fully tied to it at this time.
As a protector of order, Lu Jun did not try to suppress the young man's ambition, nor did he try to find out the secrets that the young man must have hidden.
"Your previous performance has proved your position, which is enough. What you have to do next will definitely be a lot of pressure, and I will help you with it. But you have to promise that as long as you are still at your post, Just do your 'security' work. We are short of people, very short of people."
After speaking, he seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and he forced a smile.
"You are still young, don't think too far ahead, and don't be like us old people who only see the negative in everything. We are all locals, and we are still the unlucky ones who hug each other for warmth. We will naturally protect each other when we can. Our strength It’s limited, and being able to keep a place safe is the limit. If you are really capable, you will naturally have a bigger stage in the future, and you will be really developed by then. If you still remember the little love in the initial stage... ..”
He was silent for a moment and then added.
"....Don't forget to help the villagers get a few more ferry tickets."
