Chapter 178: A World Without Light

The silver shadow of the ship pierced the light curtain and slowly moved forward on the silent sea, like a swimming silverfish, leaving waves on the water surface and smashing the sunshine that was sprinkled.

Jiqi stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance with no end in sight, his hand holding the railing of the boat was slightly forced, and his ink-colored eyes were firm.

"I didn't expect that the last person who was willing to come out was you, the admiral who didn't want to be a savior." Paccar shook the goblet, the orange juice mixed with the crumbling ice slag, giving off a chill in the sun.

"I didn't expect to run into you this time." Ji Qi turned his head and smiled, he had already guessed that the secretary general's assistant Paccar would appear on this ship as he had heard the avant-garde say that there would be a boat to pick them up at noon today. "So you're going to be part of this battle too?" He then asked.

"Probably not, you know, this time you're dealing with a new birth of the deep sea, like species that have evolved, and they're growing at a pace that we can't imagine." Paccar took a sip of ice juice, slowly exhaled the cold air, and shook his head with a wry smile. "And what makes me most chilling is that this time the only one who is willing to go to the front line to support is you to gather and pray for a town guard."

"What about the others? They all choose to watch from the sidelines? Ji Qi laughed contemptuously, his eyes disdainful.

He had heard before that few admirals were willing to go to this battle, and he thought it was fake. After all, the front line is the key to the survival of the entire human race, but no one wants to take that risk.

"That's the case," Paca nodded solemnly, "After the Governor's Mansion left, it seems to have returned to the weak appearance of the past, if the Avant-garde Secretary-General is still there, if anyone dares to disobey the order, directly lead someone to the Town Guard Mansion and shoot them down, after all, don't dare to disobey." He smiled stunned at this, as if recalling the power of the Doge's Palace in the past. Then he sighed deeply, "But the current Governor's Mansion has really become an ornament." ”

"It is said that there will be a nest of bears, and it seems that this sentence is true." Jiqi also felt very embarrassed.

The Governor's Palace, which had been able to keep Mercaren out of the way, was now unheeded. The princes do not face the Son of Heaven, and they are divided into their own affairs. This is the truest portrayal of the world now. The deep sea is busy attacking humanity, and humanity is still busy fighting each other.

"So in fact, to be honest, there are not many people in the Governor's Mansion who think that you can turn the tide of the war, and even many people advocate negotiating with the deep sea, they think that now that the deep sea has wisdom, negotiating peace is the best proposition." Speaking of this, Paca looked up to the sky and laughed, feeling both ridiculous and pathetic, it is better for humans to make peace with those monsters, and it is better to just give up the territory.

"Summation? Have you ever seen a jackal, a tiger and a leopard that will talk to you about their feelings? Jiqi also felt funny, this is the first time he has heard such a proposition, it is like cutting his own flesh to feed a hungry wolf, he will only seek peace temporarily, and in the long run, one day he will end up with no bones, and the wolf and the deep sea are the masters who can never be fed.

"Sure enough, it's a dove style, but I don't know that the weak pigeon will eventually be swallowed one day." Jiqi looked at the sea and sighed.

"Yes, but now that the avant-garde secretary general has stepped down, if you want to change, you must fundamentally change, and the current secretary general is simply not competent." Paccar nodded in agreement, "I just hope that this battle can be as you said on the paper, to regain all the lost territory, so that at least the results of the battle can wake up the sleeping ignorance there, and let them know that only war is the best way to get along with the deep sea, and only fighting can let them know that humanity will not admit defeat." ”

"You should know, I'm not going to say big things, especially in the middle of such an important battle." "I feel that I can defeat their so-called delusional fleet, and I am completely sure that I will be able to defeat them, rather than talking about them here. Because confidence comes from strong strength, I naturally dare to say such things when I have such strength. ”

Paccar turned his face to look at Jiqi sideways, was silent for a few seconds, and then said slowly and heavily: "I believe you, and I also believe in the vision of the avant-garde secretary-general, because you are the only one who has made her fall in love with all these years. ”

"Alright, let's talk about the rest." Ji Qi let out a long breath and changed the subject. "Do you have any other purpose in following us to the front line this time?"

"In addition to picking you up, it is to send these resources on the ship to the front line, after all, the resources on the front line have been in an emergency a few days ago, plus the departing admiral divides up the resources in the warehouse, it seems that they can't hold on for long." Paccar recalled the telegram he had received yesterday and could hardly believe his eyes.

The town guards stationed on the front line were all empty, and none of them were willing to stay and fight. Now only a dozen or so shipwives without a commander in the Governor's Palace are still struggling to hold on, the entire battle line is already in a tense state, once the deep sea launches an attack, it will be a complete rout, and it can even directly threaten the survival of mankind.

But they still chose to leave at such a critical juncture, choosing to be greedy for life and afraid of death. The thought of Packa's clenched hand trembled uncontrollably, like tumbling magma, bubbling with rage.

"The departing Admiral?" Jiqi raised his eyebrows, "Someone in the avant-garde chose to leave his town guard mansion?" If they do this, they are not afraid of the Governor's Mansion settling accounts after the autumn? ”

"Afraid? Afraid of what? Now the Governor's Mansion is almost controlled by the forces of those big families, and the whole thing is their puppet government. Paccar sighed, "When the former secretary general was here, those councillors didn't dare to take bribes from the nobles, because once they touched it, only death awaited them, after all, no matter how good money is, it can't compare to life." But now it's different, everyone is unscrupulous, only cares about their own interests, and doesn't care about the situation at the front at all, and this time the front commander left the incident partly because the family is afraid of loss, and partly because those cowards are afraid of sacrifice. ”

Jiqi was silent for a long time, just looking at the sea and not speaking. He used to believe that humanity would win the battle against the deep sea, and that he would still be able to see light in the darkness. But now that firm belief is beginning to waver. It is said that natural selection, what human beings are doing now seems to have no qualifications to continue to exist, like rotten dead wood, crumbling.

"Packa, do you still think there's hope?" He looked at the sea and muttered softly, uncertain in his tone.

"Probably not, there is no hope from now on." Paca shook his head in frustration, his eyes sad as ice. "Maybe in the end, I'll pick up my sword, rush at those monsters, and finish myself there, because in this dark world, I have no hope at all."

At this time, the cool autumn wind was blowing on the sea, with a chill of Qi Qiran, blowing the sea surface, with the slightest ripples, reflecting the long and trembling figure of the big ship in the sun.
