Chapter 52 (II) Goodbye, Hero
Tang Shuxing sat all night, listening to the Yaksha King in his tent tell the story of all the adventures of their time, starting from the town where the hero Hu Shuntang, who had long since disappeared from this world, to the Arctic Circle incident many years later
Of course, it was impossible to tell the story of the past in one night, so the Yaksha King omitted a lot, but those stories made Tang Shuxing's blood boil when he heard it, but after the story was told, the moment the morning came, the Yaksha King poured a basin of cold water on him.
The Yaksha King sat there, looking at Tang Shu Xing with a face full of hope and said: "Every era needs heroes, but the sad thing is that people who are considered heroes by everyone in every era do not think of themselves as heroes, and there are sad stories behind heroes, and everyone doesn't know that many of the feats done by heroes are not out of their own will at the beginning, most of them are forced, so sometimes I believe that there is a god who exists, and there is a providence that exists, you can't choose God, but God can choose you." No matter what your era is, there will always be an end day, I have always believed that the world will not be ruined, but there will be disasters, human society is always reincarnated between peace and disaster, and sooner or later, you will also become me, and you will also become us. ”
Tang Shuxing sat there dumbfounded: "Do you mean that one day in the future, I will also see through a qiē like you?" ”
"No, I didn't see through it." The Yaksha King shook his head, "I'm just following the laws of nature, one generation falls, the next generation gets up, and you have no idea what the world will be like in ten years, just like we used to be. thinks that if Jiang Bozi's conspiracy is foiled, the world will remain peaceful in the next ten years, who knows? It's not like that, it's worse. ”
Tang Shuxing nodded: "What about another ten years?" Or twenty years? What will become of the world, I think it may be even worse. ”
"It's okay, it's probably the rule." The Yaksha King smiled, "Among the countless worlds, there is always one world that is beautiful and peaceful, I think. In these countless worlds. No one in the world understands the mystery. ”
Tang Shuxing smiled when he heard this: "The seniors mean to let me calm down. ”
"Yes, calm down." The Yaksha King replied, "Look at it with a balanced mindset and not be impatient. Not irritable. Take things as they come. Since we exist in this world, we should do what we should do next, and the time is not too early. You should go. ”
Tang Shuxing nodded and got up, and when he walked out of the tent, he stopped and asked, "Senior, do we have a chance to meet again?" ”
"I don't know." The Yaksha King shook his head, "I said, I don't know what the future will look like, but I know that I am immortal, and I don't know how I can die like a normal person, goodbye, hero. ”
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Goodbye...... Hero. ”
Tang Shuxing walked out of the tent, and the four people outside the tent had already waited, and Honghua also told Tang Shuxing that she and her people did not plan to leave the No. 24 prison for the time being, at least until the war outside subsided a little, and they would not dare to leave, otherwise it would be a dead end to go out.
Tang Shuxing did not force Honghua, knowing that Honghua's werewolves were following him, and they were also dangerous, and then left the prison with the other four people, and headed towards Hell 27 under the leadership of Gromov. From that day on, Tang Shuxing never saw the Yaksha King and Wei Xuanyu again, and he didn't know where the two of them went, because what happened after that was completely beyond the expectations of the two of them, and also beyond the imagination of those who thought they were controlling the situation.
The world is about to become a real melting pot that will rebuild all the qiē in the furnace.
On the other hand, Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi, who escaped all the way from the Netherlands, finally approached the border of Shangdu, and the three assistants of the two also died on the way, the three on the border are just ordinary people, not corpses, not even trained soldiers, just ordinary clerks, they are good at writing flowers, not fleeing and surviving.
"How much longer?" Ji Kefeng, who was hiding behind an abandoned tank, drank water and asked, "I'm confused now, I don't know where we are or how long it will take to go back." ”
Gu Huaiyi looked at the sky, pointed to the front and said: "Go all the way to the east, at our current speed, it will take at least five days to reach the border, and it is on the premise that we must keep the road open and not encounter other troubles." ”
Ji Kefeng spat out: "Are we in less trouble?" Along the way, there were dozens of battles, big and small. ”
Gu Huaiyi just laughed and didn't speak, just two days ago, they also encountered a bandit organization that had split out from the former resistance army, there were not many people, only fifty or sixty people, but these people were extremely crazy, even if they saw their companions being torn apart in front of them, they would rush forward in a hurry. Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng fought with them for more than half an hour before they killed each other, and fortunately they met this group of people, otherwise their drinking water would have become a problem - after entering Asia, they rarely saw places where people lived, and they did not find a water source.
The situation outside Shangdu was even worse than Ji Kefeng expected, especially in Europe, which was completely devastated and scorched, and it was difficult for him to imagine what would happen in these places after the all-out war was fought that year, and the armies of various countries were withdrawn to Africa one after another.
For seven years, these cities were almost turned into plains, and people who had left their homes went from ruin to ruin in search of hope, and died one after another, until they finally died cleanly.
Ji Kefeng still remembers half a month ago, when he walked in front of a small village, there were graves everywhere, there was no living person, they saw a pit on the edge of the grave, and in the pit lay a person who seemed to have been dead for at least a few days, from the position where the person was lying, and the shovel next to him, Ji Kefeng knew that this person was the last person to survive in the village, but he also knew that he would not live long, so this last survivor dug a pit for himself after burying the others, He crawled in with the last of his strength, and then closed his eyes and died.
Ultimately. Ji Kefeng buried him, which was the last wish of this poor man.
"Hey, there's a town up ahead." Gu Huaiyi jumped down from the tank, "Although it is a ruined town, there seem to be people in the town, I saw human figures, and there is a fire." ”
"People? Fire!? Ji Kefeng also jumped on the tank and looked at it with a telescope, "Aren't these people afraid of death?" Not far ahead is the national border, and if the patrolling Wehrmacht sees it, it will not come out to sweep it. There will also be shelling. ”
Gu Huaiyi said below: "But." They seem to be fine, what does that mean? ”
Ji Kefeng put down the binoculars and said: "This shows that there is an internal accident in Shangdu, and the national defense forces on the border have withdrawn." Otherwise. In accordance with wartime decrees. This ruined town and the people inside have long since been reduced to ashes. ”
"Yes." Gu Huaiyi drank water, "We have to speed up our pace, otherwise we ......"
"Oh my god." Ji Kefeng, who raised the telescope again, saw a familiar figure. "Crazy Gu, guess who I saw?"
"Who?" Gu Huaiyi subconsciously said, "Is it the second sentence?" ”
"This person has something to do with the second sentence." Ji Kefeng said, "It's He Chenxue, she ran away a few years ago, and I haven't found her, and at that time I also asked you to give the army an order that if you find it, you must not be embarrassed." ”
Gu Huaiyi shook his head: "She is a stupid woman who is chattering and idealistic, and can't see reality clearly, but Xing Er also harmed her, no, the person who hurt her was not Xing Er, it was Zhan Tianya, if it wasn't for Zhan Tianya, she wouldn't have fallen to that point." ”
Ji Kefeng jumped out of the tank and continued to walk forward: "If it weren't for Zhan Tianya, I'm afraid she would have died in a full-scale war." ”
Gu Huaiyi followed behind and said: "If you don't believe it, wait and ask her, whether she is willing to die in a full-scale war, or is she willing to live to experience what happened later, I bet she would definitely rather die!" ”
Ji Kefeng suddenly stopped as he walked and said, "Back then, when she ran away, could it have something to do with Reinhardthy?" ”
Gu Huaiyi was stunned: "What do you mean?" Are you saying she was accused by Reinhardt? ”
Ji Kefeng nodded: "From Reinhardt's point of view, there is almost nothing impossible in this world, you know, he is a creator, a self-proclaimed god." ”
Gu Huaiyi didn't say a word, just stepped forward quickly and walked towards the ruin town.
Walking to the edge of the town, the two who thought they would bump into the sentry for interrogation found that there was no sentry, and the person sitting there with a gun turned out to be He Chenxue.
He Chenxue looked at the two of them in ragged surprise in surprise, if the two of them hadn't appeared in front of her at the same time, she would probably think that she was just a refugee who looked like Ji Kefeng or Gu Huaiyi.
"You ......" He Chenxue didn't raise the assault rifle in his hand as he had expected countless times, but just looked at them in surprise.
Gu Huaiyi waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say, is there anything to eat?" You can eat whatever you want, you can fill your stomach. ”
He Chenxue looked at Gu Huaiyi and said, "We don't have anything for corpses to eat here, it's all things that can cheat their stomachs if they eat it, and they are barely alive." ”
Gu Huaiyi knew what He Chenxue meant, he didn't say anything more, just stood on the side and asked Ji Kefeng to deal with the situation.
"How have you been in the past few years?" Ji Kefeng thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to say.
He Chenxue nodded: "It's good, but now that I see the dejected appearance of the two of you, I am very happy in my heart, this can be regarded as retribution, if you didn't help the abuse of ...... at the beginning."
"Enough!" Gu Huaiyi frowned and said, "Did you say enough?" Did it work? What do you know? You know, you can understand, why didn't you stand up and block the bullet in the first place? Is it useful to say these now? ”
He Chenxue didn't say anything, just raised her assault rifle, pointed to the high wall of the border, and said, "Do you see that wall?" It was built a long time ago, and it was finally built, and after it was built, the Wehrmacht seemed to have withdrawn, and now I don't know what happened, and no one knows what happened inside Shangdu, and not long ago, I met Tang Shuxing. ”
"What? Sentence two? Ji Kefeng immediately stepped forward and said, "You said you met the second sentence?" ”
He Chenxue said coldly: "Do you still remember this person? I thought you had forgotten about him, and you would only think of this person after you were down. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what the hell is going on!" Gu Huaiyi asked with a frown on the side. (To be continued......)
