Chapter 7: The Twins
He walked for half an hour, and then something strange happened.
A middle-aged man suddenly ran over from the marching crowd, was slightly stunned, and then grabbed his arm: "Come on, come on, why are you here by yourself?" Why didn't you bring anything with you? β
So he was stunned, and after a while asked, "You called me?" β
"What's wrong with you? Scared silly? The man asked suspiciously, and at the same time pointed to the side of the road not far away, "We're all there, let's go and have something to eat, so we have the strength to keep walking." β
He looked in the direction the man was pointingβ
There is indeed a small "camp" on the side of the road. A gas stove was set up in a grass nest with a pot of water boiling on it. Next to it is a small three-wheeled cart, and there is a middle-aged woman, a young boy who is not very old. Right now, the two of them were also waving to themselves, and there was always some warmth in their slightly flustered smiles.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he thought of something.
But before he could respond, a person on the other side had already walked over and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Bing, you are looking at the wrong person." β
The man who was called Uncle Ah Bing looked over there, then opened his mouth wide and looked at the person he had caught......
Lift your arm like an electric shock.
He avoided several refugees and stammered, "You two, you two ......"
The person who spoke had already come over and was standing next to "him". The appearance of the two people is the same.
The one who came next was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of black leather sandals on his feet - the most common and common outfit. He smiled and looked at "him". looked at Uncle Ah Bing again and said, "He is my twin brother." A few days ago, he said he was coming to me, but he didn't expect to meet him here. β
Uncle Bing's face softened slightly, so "he" also smiled and nodded: "You are mistaken." β
Ah Bing was dumbfounded, and after a while, he muttered to himself, "You two...... Twins? looks too similar to General Xiao Li. β
The young man in shorts blinked: "Maybe we're still triplets?" β
Ah Bing only breathed a sigh at this time, and shook his head with a smile: "Ha Lu Ha...... Maybe you're really separated? Then you ......"
"Let's go over there and talk." The young man in shorts said, "After a while, you will rest and go first, and I will chase you again." β
Ah Bing nodded, turned around and walked over to his wife and children, who were still in a sluggish state, and took a few steps. I couldn't help but look back again.
However, the two men had disappeared into the crowd.
They also walked to the field on the other side of the road. It's just that it's wooded here. Pedestrians are sparse, and there is no risk that a third person will hear their conversation.
The young man in white spoke first: "You are actually mixed here. β
The young man in shorts tilted his head to look at him, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "It's the first time I've seen you too." Have you ever met someone else? β
"Nope." The other party replied indifferently, "I have always been alone." I'm thinking about something. β
The young man in shorts nodded understandingly: "Me too." Maybe I'll be looking for you in a few months. Or find someone else. β
"In this kind of place...... It's hard to figure it out, right? The white man shook his head slightly. You will be influenced. You jumped in voluntarily. β
The young man in shorts smiled - his expression was much more vivid: "I can't talk about the impact." I'm just deepening my impressions. In fact, if we want to talk about influence, we have already been affected - otherwise what do we have to think about? Not to make us purer, but to sink us deeper. Either you are me. It's all about this common purpose. β
The young man in white stood still and did not speakβas he had always done, for a long time. Then he smiled like the other man: "You're right. So...... Are you coming or am I coming? β
He spread his hands slightly, as if to hug each other, or wait for the other person to throw into his arms.
The young man in shorts smiled and waved his hand and took a step back: "I don't want to go to you." Because you're like this...... I don't really like it. But you probably don't want to come to me, I'm not your ideal state. β
The man in white sighed and put down his hand: "When you are alone, there will still be psychological struggles, let alone what we are like now?" It is very difficult to unify such things as ideologies. Once upon a time, a human said that we were stubborn, and I think this characteristic is still retained to this day. So...... What are we going to do? β
The young man in shorts lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and grinned: "That's it." Contradictions are irreconcilable, so we ...... Whoever gets more comes and hugs the others. No one would refuse this approach. β
"Good idea." The man in white said lightly, "What's your name now?" β
"I told them my name was Levine."
The man in white nodded: "But I still think my name is Li Zhen." β
"It's up to you." The other party reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Then Li Zhen, I'm going to go north and go to a place where there are more people, what about you?" β
"I'm going to the South." Li Zhen looked up and looked south, "I'm very interested in things over there." β
"Well, I understand." Li Wen smiled, "Take care, don't hurt yourself." β
"So are you."
So the two talked like old friends who had known each other for a long time, and then quickly separated. Li Zhen ran towards Uncle Bing's family, while Li Zhen pushed aside the bushes around him and continued to walk south.

The situation in the ruins of Zamboanga remains at a stalemate.
The other party claimed to be a "saint" and asked for a "prophet".
Zhang Kesong separated the group and tried to get out, but the commander glanced at the guards beside him, and two strong men immediately stopped her.
She frowned and whispered, "Let me go." It's not a problem you can solve - you want to die for nothing? β
"It's better for us to die than just hand you over." The commander smiled coldly, "Prophet, it's better for us men to pick and choose." β
He no longer paid attention to Zhang Kesong, but turned his head and said, "Saint? I don't know where your maximum strength is, and I'm not interested in figuring out what your true purpose is. But what I want to tell you is that there are bombs in this city in addition to a high wall and our people. Many, many bombs, enough to plow the ground again, leaving not a single dross. β
"I'll give you two choices now - just go the way you came, or stay and we'll die together." The commander's face was unfazed, but with a slight wave of his fingers, several people quietly stepped back.
The xenomorphs around the saints are ready to move.
The commander saw through the other party's intentions and shouted, "Of course you can send them to arrest people - but if you succeed in detonating one place, you can't stop what is going on." β
"I'll give you a minute to think about it."
The saints were silent. It seems that there is indeed some jealousy in my heart.
However, as the minute was about to end, everyone suddenly heard a soft countdown.
The voice is hoarse and dull...... It came out of the mouth of that saintβ
"Six, five, four, three, two...... One. He lifted his pale face and let out a sinister laugh like a viper, "A minute has passed. We've thought it through. I don't think you know my name yet. β
He pursed his lips, trying to make a serious and solemn expression. But the loose muscles on his face made him look a little nondescript: "I am the gate of truth, the saint who walks, and the willow of Ueno." If your General Lee were still around, he would have laughed - do you think the bomb could threaten me? β
His eyes narrowed, and the light in his eyes flickered: "Even he can't kill me...... Not to mention you reptilian humans. Now I also give you two choices, one is to hand over the prophet and you live. The other is not to hand over the prophets, and you die. Then I'll take her myself. β
Zhang Kesong smashed away a guard beside him: "I'm going out!" β
The commander pursed his lips and raised his hand slightly.
The trapped beast is still fighting. However, this powerless struggle looks quite interesting in Ueno Kanyanagi. He tried to hold back a smile, but he couldn't. So he laughed uncontrollablyβ
These three things happen at the same moment. Neither of these things was done, though.
Because just as the phrase "fire" in the commander's mouth almost blurted out, he heard several slightly trembling exclamations from behind him-
"General?!"
And then there are more voices β
"General!!"
The last thing I heard was a rather gentle and calm voice: "Don't worry. β
The commander frowned and turned his face away, then opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
The soldiers behind him had moved out of the way, and a young man in a white shirt walked in the middle of the road.
He nodded slightly to Ying Ran, Zhang Kesong, the commander, and other people who knew or didn't recognize him, and said softly, "I'll deal with it." β
Zhang Kesong stood sluggishly for a while, big tears rolling down his cheeks, and he threw himself over. Li Zhen was stunned, then a faint smile appeared on his face, slowly dropped his arm on her back, stroked it gently, and said, "Don't worry. β
"I know that you won't die, I know that you are still alive, I know how can you die......"
She buried her face in Li Zhen's shoulder, and warm tears soaked through her thin shirt for a while. A lot of people were looking at the two of them, but she didn't care at all. The indifference, composure, calmness and strength that she usually showed in front of the soldiers were all left behind at this moment - she felt that she had always pretended to be too tired, and only when she was in this person's arms, she didn't need to pretend, she didn't need to be strong, and she could do whatever she wanted unscrupulously.
Li Zhen looked at Ying Resolute. The other party pursed his lips, nodded silently at him, and said nothing.
Is...... A familiar feeling.
It's just that the eyes of the soldiers around him are not so familiar.
Surprise, shock, joy, and even a slight sense of fear. This emotion spread rapidly among the crowd with the words, and finally there was a slight commotion in the whole field, and at the end of the day, wave after wave of shouts were formedβ
"Teach them a good lesson!!" (To be continued.) )
