Volume 4 Blood Lake Chapter 122 Is There Finally Hope?
In this difficult world, even though the darkness has given people a lot of trauma, people still miss this world for some reason.
I just want to live, although I don't know what it's for, I just want to live.
Maybe it's to see more things, maybe it's more darkness, but it may also be the beauty that comes suddenly. As long as you live, you will have a chance to meet it. The citizens are like this, Bai Nanyu is like this, and the Dead Country Guards are like this.
While it may seem ridiculous to strive for a fantasy of nothingness, it is better than having no expectations, just looking at the sky and discarding the meaning of existence. And it is for this kind of effort that the Black Lake City Autonomous Group was formed, and by now, this "illegal" small group has been recognized by one-eighth of the current total number of people in Black Lake City. Although this recognition was not officially approved by the city of Black Lake, what revolution would have been carried out with the consent of those in power?
When the flood comes, although there will be a pile of rocks or even a mountain to cover them, after all, it is a flood, and there will always be fish that slip through the net to drown them. In this way, if the submerged ants do not grasp their own kind and group with their kind, then the end will only be resigned to fate.
They had wasted too much time, too many of their companions had already died in the "flood", and although those dead were nothing compared to the total population of Black Lake City, it was already a catastrophe for them.
The current leaders of the Black Lake Autonomous League value everyone who joins them, and they also value the lives of others, even if it is not their person, or even if it is someone who is hostile to them. Although the current cohesion of the Black Lake City Autonomous Group is among the highest in Black Lake City, although their leaders dislike the mayor of Black Lake City, they have one essential thing in common - they are very soft-hearted.
After all, although in theory, rational people are more suitable for command and leadership than emotional people, but in reality, emotional and gentle people are more trustworthy than rational and cold people, which is why the mayor gathers people's hearts but can't let them stick together for a long time.
If the Black Lake Autonomous League is allowed to continue, it may be possible to overthrow the current Black Lake City Government, but they will eventually go back to the old ways, and then things will gradually return to the same place.
In order to avoid this from happening, one of the leaders of the Black Lake Autonomous League decided to convince the leaders to create a more rational system that would better ensure that their organization would survive the difficulties.
Under that system, they would not show the slightest mercy to the enemy, or to those who had a tendency to be submissive, and they would be executed if they found it. In addition, they will strictly screen new companions, ostensibly admit them as companions, but lock them off internally, no longer recruit anyone externally, strictly monitor the movements of internal personnel, and list new companions in a separate department. In such a situation, there is a lot of pressure, and many people lose the right to join them, but think about it, this is indeed the safest way.
After receiving such an offer, the leader thought for a long time and finally refused.
Because the reason why the Black Lake City Autonomous League was created is to let more people have their own home, rather than patronizing their own survival, such a system is really unfair to those who want to ask them for help.
But the current situation is not the time for emotion. The proposer was very anxious, and had to admit that his strategy was indeed much more useful than Mayor Yu's gentle policy of "family and world" in this context. However, in front of his eyes, there was such a last nail that could not be pulled out and prevented them from taking off.
"Well, then, it will be enough to get rid of him......" The pensive man, as if he had found a way out, sighed, put on his cap regretfully, and left the room......
"Is there a period of silence again......"
Outside the rest room of the Black Lake City Self-Defense Force, Xiao Jing was quietly looking at Bai Nanyu inside through the crack in the door. In this spacious lounge, there was only Bai Nanyu alone at this time, a silent, lonely figure.
Xiao Jing could see what she was thinking at this time, it was the time when she and her sister were together, and it was also the driving force that has always supported Bai Nanyu to this point. Just thinking about it, her consciousness was ruthlessly pulled back to the cold reality by the invisible force, and the illusion dissipated, and she finally saw this broken world.
Gently closing the door, avoiding Bai Nanyu's sight, Xiao Jing turned around and leaned against the wall, looking at the floor and talking to Lin Yiming beside him.
"She's putting too much burden on herself, and it's not something she can bear. Xiao Jing crossed her hands and sighed.
"Rest assured, she has to have this day as an 'administrator', and this is something she has to go through. I believe that the old man who gave her this power has also reminded her countless times, this is the ability to buy at the cost of depriving her of her freedom. ”
Xiao Jing nodded, thoughtful, and then changed the topic: "By the way, the guy you are talking about is really Bai Nanyu's sister?"
"That's not wrong, she told me personally, and her straightforward personality would definitely not lie to me, let alone such a serious lie. Lin Yiming replied very simply.
"Is her code name ...... 'Blood Rose'......"
"No, it's a scavenging bird. It was a bird hovering around dying people and corpses, and the crow, though omnivorous, could be counted as one of them. It is said that a scavenging bird hovers near its prey that is about to die, so in a sense, its presence near someone is a sign of that person's death. ”
"Hahaha, it's quite secondary. Xiao Jing couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, if she hears this, you hear a crow on the road, then apologize quickly, or you will not be able to escape even if you go back to the house and seal the doors and windows. Lin Yiming seemed to be maintaining the dignity of the "scavenging bird", and then changed to normal, "Oh yes, you would call the 'scavenging bird' 'Blood Rose', mostly because of her weapon, the gauntlet that can faintly see vines and flowers is actually another person, she has died a long time ago, and she has gone very badly, which is what I told you before...... Yes...... In fact, the 'scavenging bird' usually uses a sharp blade, the shorter the better, and for her, even a small section of the blade of a utility knife is enough to kill. ”
Suddenly, Xiao Jing was a little frightened, but soon showed a confident smile again, but in the eyes of others, it was like a panicked person implying that he was not in danger.
Clearing her throat, Xiao Jing said half-jokingly: "I can still kill people with playing cards." ”
"Hey, look at you like that, when you usually have conflicts with her, you must think that she is so capable. In fact, she didn't intend to hurt you at all, after all, your identity was the one who saved her sister, how dare her sister's benefactor move. ”
With a sudden click, the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and they turned to look at Bai Nanyu who opened the door of the lounge. The three of them looked at each other for a while, Xiao Jing just wanted to say something, Bai Nanyu suddenly turned his face and left quickly. This indifferent look is really very rare, and Xiao Jing's heart involuntarily has a sense of worry.
Two hours later, another bus stopped in front of the downtown building, and Bai Nanyu's figure appeared opposite the building.
Looking at the traffic around him, Bai Nanyu rarely took a car like an ordinary person, and then walked across the road with the flow of people and entered the downtown building.
"Don't be sad, child, think about how you were smiling like a doll when we were talking here not long ago, and now why are you wilting. In the reception room, the mayor smiled, in a somewhat happy mood, and seemed that something good was happening, "I called you here this time because there is good news, and by the way, I want you to meet a few people." ”
Yes, this time the mayor talked to Bai Nanyu in order to tell her, who was already numb, that there was still salvation in Black Lake City, and they had another plan, that is, a quasi-federal system. Moreover, since the implementation of this plan, it has achieved remarkable results. In fact, people have not completely lost confidence in the Black Lake City Government, but they are just like a girl in love, and they are insecure about the words of the Black Lake City Government.
Under this type of federal system, although it may seem like a land reparation, gradually many small organizations began to merge and become large organizations. Therefore, this is just a relaxation for people, and if it continues, eventually Black Lake City will still change back to its original whole.
It is worth mentioning that many of the affairs in Black Lake that had been halted due to turmoil have gradually resumed operations recently, and perhaps the betrayers of the Guardian of the Dead have basically left, and the people's ability to unite has also improved.
However, there are still some problems in between, such as the requirement of individual organizations to create their own escort units with firearms.
"Is it really credible?" Bai Nanyu still couldn't believe it.
"It's true, in fact, many people want to express their gratitude and trust in you, but they were just citizens before, and you are elusive, so they don't have a chance. Now that they have those organizations, they can express themselves to you. They are actually very supportive, after all, what you are doing is not self-serving and detrimental to others. The mayor said and gently touched Bai Nanyu's head, although Bai Nanyu shrank his head, but finally stopped reluctantly.
Suddenly, the mayor saw that Bai Nanyu's mouth was moving, as if he was muttering something.
The mayor was very curious, but before he could ask, Bai Nanyu spoke up: "I'm not a child...... Don't touch my head......"
With these coquettish words and her soft voice, the mayor suddenly couldn't help laughing, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, you are an adult, but for us, your generation will always be children." Yes...... They're coming. ”
With that, the mayor looked at the door, and as the conversation drew closer, the door opened, and with it appeared the leaders who had agreed with the mayor. They were between twenty and sixty years of age, and there were men and women, the older of whom had gray hair, and was not as white as the white-haired people, and the younger one even looked like a boy or girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Thinking that the situation would be a little deadlocked, Bai Nanyu involuntarily stood up like a child who came to someone else's house as a guest but inadvertently found that someone else's parent had returned, and looked at the group of people with some twist. The group was also slightly stunned, and then a man's laughter instantly broke the stiff atmosphere.
"Hahaha, you are that Bai Nanyu, sure enough, as rumored, you are really a cute little girl. The man walked up to Bai Nanyu as he spoke, and stretched out his hand respectfully.
Bai Nanyu also stretched out his hand tremblingly and shook it symbolically, not knowing what to do for a while.
The time is so good, Bai Nanyu's yin corner is familiar and has recurred, and she doesn't know what to do in this "high-eyed" situation for a while. However, although she was at a loss, the mayor was not, and those leaders were also very enthusiastic, so Bai Nanyu finally began to talk about future development under the "leadership" of these people.
The conversation went on for a long time, and time passed imperceptibly, and eventually, the conversation was interrupted by the sound of a phone call. It was Bai Nanyu's mobile phone, and it was Xu Wenxin calling.
Seeing that it was someone who had been asked by Bai Nanyu, the mayor felt that the matter might be a little urgent, so he asked Bai Nanyu to answer the phone here.
However, the moment the phone was connected, it was a stranger who scolded inexplicably:
"Bai Nanyu, you actually sent someone to kill our leader, you slut!"
"What...... What ......"
