"Village chief, don't worry, we are fully capable of protecting you back home." Qin Yi said firmly, looking at Long Yunchang in front of him.
"Old Longtou, I heard that someone is coming from outside?" A stooped old man walked in from outside and asked loudly.
"Yes, Lao He, you will know soon when you come in and take a look."
After a while, a dozen old people came to the house. They were moved to tears after seeing the clothes and national flags of Qin Yi and others.
At this moment, a one-armed old man walked up to Qin Yi, straightened his back and saluted Qin Yi: "Li Yufei, a soldier of the Army's 234th Regiment, was ordered to protect the people from evacuating and has now completed his mission."
Every word the old man with a broken arm said lingered in Qin Yi's heart. Although his position was higher than that of the other party, the other party was the hero worthy of his admiration at this moment. With tears in his eyes, he replied: "The Sharp Knife Company of the Base City Group Army" Second Platoon Commander Qin Yi has been ordered to take you home."
"Okay, okay, we are not forgotten people." The old man patted Qin Yi's shoulder with his trembling hand and said.
"Old man, you can rest assured. The country will not forget you. We have been searching and rescuing people who are living abroad for so many years." Li Yingjie stepped forward and supported the old man and comforted him.
"Who are you?" Li Yufei looked at Li Yingjie in confusion, because Li Yingjie was not wearing a military uniform, but a special military uniform used by explorers to perform missions.
"Old man, this is our supreme commander of this operation - Li Yingjie, who is also from the army." Qin Yi introduced.
"You may not look very old, but you are still young and promising to be the captain!"
"And it's with my family." Li Yufei looked at Li Yingjie with admiration.
"You're always joking. If it weren't for the martyrs of your generation protecting us, we wouldn't have the life we have now." Li Yingjie said respectfully, looking at the old man in front of him.
"Since you are the commander of this mission, I will leave this to you." Li Yufei took out a worn notebook from his breast pocket.
"This is this?" Li Yingjie took the notebook and opened it. It was full of names of people and places he didn't recognize.
"These are the soldiers who died when we escorted the people away. On it are their names, ages and the places where they died. I hope you can take them back and prevent them from being forgotten."
Li Yingjie looked at the thick notebook. The numerous names on it made this light notebook feel particularly heavy. "Don't worry, I will definitely send them home. They will not be forgotten." Li Yingjie put it in his hand. The notebook was put into the breast pocket and promised.
"Okay, okay! Today is really a good day. Let's go out and have a banquet together!" Long Yunchang looked at the scenery in front of him very happily.
Night, Longcun.
The villagers of Longcun who were out hunting also rushed back to the village. Everyone was looking at Li Yingjie and others. The young people and children in the village were full of curiosity. Only some old people knew what the national flags on these people's clothes represented.
"Today is a good day to welcome our guests from far away. In order to entertain our guests today, we are holding this banquet. Let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content." Long Yunchang said to the old and young in the village.
….
"Long live the village chief!" The villagers were also immersed in the banquet.
"Qin Yi, come here." Li Yingjie waved to Qin Yi who was standing aside.
"What's wrong, Captain Li, is there any problem?" Qin Yi thought Li Yingjie had discovered something unusual.
"No problem, take out the meat and give it to the brothers standing guard outside." Li Yingjie pointed to the plate with meat in front of him and said.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Qin Yi took two plates of meat and walked outside.
"Xiao Li, how did you get here? I heard from Xiao Yang that you came out of the insect swarm?" Long Yunchang asked curiously.
Li Yingjie briefly told how he lured the insect swarm in the first place, but some of the old people around him listened with interest and applauded from time to time. They were very appreciative.
field.
"That's pretty much it. I met Xiaoyang by chance."
"Xiao Li, I have to ask you something." Long Yunchang took Li Yingjie's hand and said solemnly.
"Village Chief Long, if you have anything to say, just tell me and I will definitely do it."
"When you leave the village, can you please take Xiaoyang with you?"
"Huh? Why not let Xiao Yang join everyone?" Li Yingjie felt strange. Although Long Yang called him master along the way, when he arrived at the village, there was no Pi Dian Pi Dian following him. In this case, Wouldn't it be better to let Xiaoyang be with other villagers?
"Actually, Xiaoyang's father died in the battle when the village was attacked many years ago. She has always been dependent on her mother. But three years ago, her mother was infected with the virus. We had no way to treat it. Later, in order not to It made Xiaoyang sad, so she secretly left the village, so she has no relatives in the village."
"What do you mean?" Li Yingjie had already guessed what Long Yunchang was thinking. Xiaoyang wanted to worship him as his teacher, and Long Yunchang also wanted to take this opportunity to entrust Xiaoyang to him.
"I can also see that you are a good person, so I just want to ask you to take care of her when she grows up. Otherwise, when he arrives at a large gathering place alone, I won't worry and she won't be safe either."
"Master, Grandpa Village Chief." Just when Li Yingjie was still wondering why Long Yunchang was worried that Xiaoyang would not be safe alone, Xiaoyang walked towards the two of them. At this time, Xiaoyang was no longer It’s what he looked like when he first saw himself.
"I understand what you mean. It would be unsafe for her to be alone in a large gathering place." Li Yingjie also knew why Long Yunchang was worried, because at this time Xiaoyang was no longer the dirty Xiaoye. After washing up, Xiaoyang's lips were red and her teeth were white. She looked like a beauty at first glance. Fortunately, Li Yingjie had always thought Xiaoyang was a boy, but he didn't expect that she turned out to be a girl.
"Then it's settled, you guys should go to bed early today." Long Yunchang patted the back of Li Yingjie's hand, entrusting Xiaoyang to Li Yingjie. He felt a lot more relaxed, and the things he had been worrying about were gone. It won't happen again.
"Master, what did the village chief grandpa tell you just now?" Xiao Yang looked curious about the baby.
"Well, it's nothing. You should go back to your house and rest early. There are still things to do tomorrow!" After speaking, Li Yingjie also left the banquet, and the villagers who attended the banquet also went home one after another.
….
At this time, Gao Tianhu was leading people to collect the bodies of red-eyed locusts, and caught some red-eyed locusts that were not yet dead.
"Boss, this guy is pretty good, can he be put on the list?" Jiujiu came over and asked with a list in hand.
"Okay, put him and that Guan Tianxiang into the same group. These are all good talents." Gao Tianhu nodded and said, then turned and left.
In a black market sixty kilometers south of Suzaku City.
A young man in the black market was running wildly, holding a series of steamed buns that had turned gray in his hands.
"Catch him, don't let that kid get away."
Behind the boy, a group of men wearing colorful clothes chased him with various sticks in their hands.
the next day.
Early the next morning.
"Gather, gather at the entrance of the village. The village chief is going to announce what he forgot to say last night!" A little boy in the village was knocking on doors door to door to announce.
Although everyone did not know what the village chief was going to announce, they all gathered at the entrance of the village with their families. At this time, Long Yunchang, the village chief of Long Village, and Li Yingjie were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
"Village Chief, why did you call us all here so early in the morning?" asked a tall man who looked about 1.8 meters tall.
"It's like this. You have also seen the guests who came yesterday. They are from the Dragon Kingdom like all of us. Now they want to return to their base, which is much safer than our village, so I ask them to You take them away, so that everyone doesn’t have to worry about it in the future." As soon as Long Yunchang finished speaking, everyone below started talking.
There began to be a lot of discussion.
"Village Chief, have you really figured out who they are? If we go with them, what if they are liars?" Some young people in the village still don't believe Li Yingjie and the others, although the old people in the village They all said that someone from the country would come to take them home, but there were only eight or nine people in Li Yingjie's group, and it didn't look like they could take them home at all.
"Do you still remember what our elders said? Do you still remember what the elders left behind?" At this time, Long Yunchang took out a flag that his grandfather gave to him when he was alive, a red rectangular flag with a red rectangular flag on it. There is a golden dragon embroidered on it. This is the totem and national flag of the Dragon Kingdom. It is exactly the same as the national flag worn by Qin Yi and others.
Seeing Long Yunchang's actions, Li Yingjie and others also took a step forward and showed their national flags. Now everyone in the village believed it.
"Even so, we can't leave with you easily."
"Then what do you want? How can you trust me?" Li Yingjie looked helplessly at the speaker. The man was tall, more than half a head taller than himself, but he was not tall enough. It might be due to malnutrition. It seemed that the other party was the hunter leader in charge of hunting in the village.
"It's very simple, unless you can defeat me." The man stepped forward and said with clenched fists.
"Then come on." Li Yingjie didn't expect that such a method would be needed.
"Master, be careful. Brother Aaron is the strongest person in our village. He is very powerful. He can catch the most prey every time he hunts." Long Yang, who was standing aside, reminded softly that last night the village chief Grandpa has already told himself that he will live with the man in front of him from now on.
….
"Don't worry, little disciple, just wait for me for a minute." Li Yingjie replied with a smile.
"What a shameless statement, watch the punch!" Aaron punched Li Yingjie. Li Yingjie didn't dodge at all and directly caught Aaron's punch.
"Since Xiaoyang said you are the strongest, let me compare my strength with you!"
Aaron didn't expect that the man in front of him, who was smaller than himself, wanted to compete with him in terms of strength. Then he became even more angry and started wrestling with Li Yingjie.
"The hunters in this village seem to be quite agile, but their strength is still far from enough. If you want to compete with Captain Li, you will suffer the consequences of a kid." Qin Yi watched with relish.
"If you only have this much strength, you can't beat me." Li Yingjie used both hands hard and threw him sideways. Aaron was thrown to the ground before he could react.
"Master, you are so awesome!" Long Yang looked at the victorious Li Yingjie and shouted happily.
"Can you come with us now? If we have any ill intentions towards you, we don't need to talk to you as much as we do now, because our combat power can completely crush you." Li Yingjie looked at Ah lying on the ground. Long explained.
"I lost. I can't beat you. I keep my promise and I'll go with you." Aaron stood up and dusted himself off and said without any hesitation.
Li Yingjie glanced at Aaron, and then at Long Yunchang, who was standing aside with a smile on his face. Sure enough, Jiang was still hot. He used the highest combat power in the village to sing the opposite, and then used the other party to lose to him to calm people's hearts. What a powerful old fox.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's all go back and pack our things," Long Yunchang ordered while the iron was hot.
"Yes, village chief." After everyone responded, they went back to their houses to pack their things, leaving only Li Yingjie and others and a dozen old people in the village.
Long Yunchang took Xiaoyang's hand and led Li Yingjie aside.
"Master, can the village chief really not come with us?" Xiao Yang looked at Li Yingjie with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Yang, it's not that your master won't take us away, but that we don't want to leave." Long Yunchang stroked Xiao Yang's head with a kind expression.
"Why! Grandpa Long." Xiao Yang looked at Long Yunchang who was smiling and almost cried.
"Because we old guys have been living here all our lives, and this is our roots.
, and we are getting old and don’t want to travel long distances anymore. "
At the same time, Qin Yi was also chatting with Li Yufei, "Commander Veteran, are you really not going with us?"
"Hahaha, it's enough for you to have such a heart. I really won't leave. I have to look after a group of old guys sleeping here!" Li Yufei said with a smile.
Near noon, everyone in the village packed their luggage and gathered at the village gate. While everyone was waiting anxiously, three modified heavy-duty buses slowly drove in from a distance. These were the people Li Yingjie sent back to the base city yesterday. The transport vehicles brought back.
"Is this the car that the elders are talking about?" The young people in the village sighed as they looked at the bus parked at the entrance of the village. However, Li Yingjie felt sad when he looked at everyone. The disaster has caused human civilization to degrade too quickly.
….
"Qin Yi, arrange for everyone to get on the bus and prepare to return to the base city."
"yes."
After all the villagers got on the bus, Long Yunchang took the remaining old people and waved goodbye, "Let's go, we have to live a good life in our new home. Just come back and see us old guys when you have the opportunity."
"Qin Yi, let's go!" Li Yingjie ordered Qin Yi.
"Let's go!" As the order was given, three heavily equipped buses also began their journey back home.
"Xiao Lizi, aren't you with them?" Long Yunchang asked, looking at Li Yingjie who was standing aside and not leaving.
"I have other tasks, but there are still some unresolved matters before that."
"Is there anything unresolved? Do you need our help?"
"No, no, no, it should be here soon." Sure enough, after a while, two different vehicles appeared in the distance.
"You boy, you are really good at calling people. Even though I am old, I still have to help you run around." As soon as the car stopped, old man Zhao poked his head out of the heavy truck and cursed.
"Isn't there nothing I can do? I can only contact you!" Li Yingjie knew he was in the wrong, so he helped Old Zhao open the door with a smile on his face.
"Little Plum, who is this old man?"
"Isn't it because you old-timers want to stay? Then if I take all the young people away, won't you have no source of food? So I applied to transform this place into a stronghold of our base, so Not only can I take care of you, but I can also provide eyes for the base city."
"You brat, you buried it deep enough!" The people who stayed behind looked at Li Yingjie and laughed and cursed, but they felt warm in their hearts.
"You go into the village to tidy up, and rebuild the defenses on the way." Li Yingjie said to a group of team members who got out of the car.
"Yes, Captain Li."
"Now that you have made arrangements here, are you leaving next?" Long Yun looked at the busy crowd and asked.
"Well, now that the problem here is solved, I'm going to perform other tasks, so I have to leave early."
"Be sure to pay attention to safety!" Long Yunchang now completely regarded Li Yingjie as his junior.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you some good wine when I come back next time." Li Yingjie turned around and waved.
"Let's go, Xiaoyang, get in the car!" Because I had to take Xiaoyang with me, I asked the headquarters for a car, so I couldn't ride my own motorcycle.
The car started, and Li Yingjie took Old Man Zhao and Xiao Yang to Yun City to gather, and also set a new goal for himself in his heart.
"We must save everyone who is fleeing!"
After Li Yingjie said goodbye to everyone in Longcun, he took the people to another location to meet others.
"Master, where are we going?" Long Tianyang asked softly while lying on the car window.
"My teacher wants to send Mr. Zhao and some people to Qiming City, so now we are going to meet that group of people." Li Yingjie plans to send Mr. Zhao and Chen Mahu's group to Qiming City first, and then take Xiaoyang there. Look for those abandoned cities and dig out some of the information you need.
"Xiao Li, have you forgotten to tell me who this little guy is?" Mr. Zhao originally thought
Xiao Yang is a villager in the village and will return to the base city with the large army. Unexpectedly, he will follow the two of them north and become Li Yingjie's apprentice.
….
"This is my apprentice, just think of it as me training the members of my team." Li Yingjie didn't want to explain too much.
"Okay, but isn't the route you are taking now wrong? Isn't this the route to Qiming City? I remember that this is not the route to Yun City!" Mr. Zhao sat in the car and took out the map to compare the routes. Discovering that the route was wrong, Li Yingjie did not follow the route on the map.
"I know something is wrong. Before I meet up with others, I have to go somewhere." Before setting off, Li Yingjie suddenly remembered something, which was the map he had been looking at since he was a child. There were many marked locations on the map, among which A place marked with No. 11 was near Qingyun Sea, so I was going to see if there were any clues about my life experience.
"Then you call me somewhere and I'll take a nap." Mr. Zhao stopped asking further and immediately fell asleep leaning on the car. After all, he had been busy all night at his age.
Li Yingjie followed the route on the map to the location marked with number, parked the car on the hillside, got out of the car, took out the map and compared the surrounding environment.
"Is this the place? It doesn't look like anything special." Li Yingjie wondered if he was in the wrong place.
"Master, where are we?" Xiao Yang also got off the car and walked to Li Yingjie to breathe in the fresh air and asked.
"Go and wake up Mr. Zhao, we are going to have a look below." When Li Yingjie looked around, he found the ruins of a dilapidated house not far away. Maybe there would be the clues he wanted there.
"Huh? Are you there?" Mr. Zhao asked after being asked to get out of the car by Xiao Yang.
"We're here, but we have to walk through the mountain road below, and the car can't drive again." Li Yingjie packed his backpack and said. After all, he couldn't let Xiao Yang and Mr. Zhao carry things.
"You respect the old and love the young, so let's go!" Mr. Zhao stood next to Xiaoyang and smiled at Li Yingjie.
After Li Yingjie led the two of them down the hillside, they discovered that there must have been a fierce battle here. There were bullet holes and the bones of mutated beasts everywhere.
"This may have been a human research base or a manufacturing factory before," Mr. Zhao said as he looked at the ruins around him. All the things looked like materials for building a research institute.
"Research base and factory?" In Li Yingjie's knowledge, research bases rarely exist.
"That's right, but it's gone now. Before the disaster broke out, there were various research and experimental bases in various countries around the world. Maybe the source of the disaster was the results of research in a certain type of research base. ." Mr. Zhao explained that after all, after the disaster broke out, there was no way to solve even ultra-long-distance communications, let alone build a research institute.
"But since the disaster occurred and the mysterious man returned to the earth, the technological development on the earth is now moving towards the past era. Perhaps one day in the future, our technological development will reach the era of prehistoric civilization." After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he looked at the ruins and wondered what he was thinking.
Li Yingjie has also heard of these things. When he was young, he still lived in the barrier. At that time, all kinds of giant beasts made humans afraid to step out of the barrier. Later, these giant beasts were moved by that person. All left the earth, so now humans are living on the surface of the earth again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's check here first to see if there is anything you want to use."
Li Yingjie and his party began to search among the ruins.
