Chapter 139: Midsummer Night
So when a name happened to confirm their suspicions, it triggered a massive earthquake that could not be seen or touched.
The process of "conquest" went unusually well, and while Li Zhen was standing in the lobby of an office building in front of a group of sweating local officials, the disaster relief force under the command of Major Chung had already set out for the destroyed city.
However, it may be just a search for psychological comfort.
……
……
Li Zhen frowned and looked at these people standing in front of him, and then sighed slightly.
All the arrangements he wanted to make had already been arranged. But just like in Yuzhou at the beginning, there are always some people who are not at ease - they always have to see him and see what he looks like, and then there is a basis for speculation and fear.
But he was no longer interested in playing a game like he used to.
So he paced two steps in place, looked at the rain dripping from the people, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point." ”
As soon as he spoke, the former city hall was silent, and even the low coughing sound disappeared.
All of them were standing, at the door of this hall. And because of the large number of people, the door of the hall was not closed, and there were even people staying on the steps outside, which was really drenched in soup.
"You should have been the pillars of the empire in the past, and I think even in this world, you are still a rare talent." He said loudly. Then there was a long pause, looking at the faces of the people.
So after a brief silence, some tried to squeeze a relieved smile out of their faces.
This sentence...... It must have set a certain tone, right?
In any case, this General Li Zhen is a newcomer and an out-and-out loner. Just like in Yuzhou. If he wants to gain a foothold in Wanzhou...... You still have to rely on them.
In fact, they are indeed not a big man - even in Wanzhou. The real bigwigs have escaped early, and only those middle-level people who can't go up or down will fall into this situation - if they want to go, they are not qualified enough. However, once he stayed, he became the only remaining "leader" of various departments.
But it's usually these people who do things.
So the deep voice gradually sounded, all of which sounded "flattered" and humble.
However, before the voice became louder, Li Zhen snorted coldly.
"It's a pity that you all deserve to die with me."
The sound of wind and rain outside seemed to suddenly become louder. There was only the sound of rain falling to the ground in the hall. The smile that was barely squeezed out froze on his face, and many words were stuck in his throat.
This time he didn't whet the appetite of these people again. He took a few steps and raised his hand to make a circle above their heads: "I know that you are all doing things, and the people who asked you to do things are no longer here. Some people may say that he can't help himself - he can't disobey his fate. However, I think all of you should know one thing as well - when night falls. Perhaps they don't have the courage to shout for justice. But at least it can be done without glorifying evil. You people, even if you don't do this work—I don't think you're going to starve. But since I have done those things before, I have to pay the corresponding price. ”
He paused to breathe.
A muffled sound was heard. A man fainted.
However, no one tried to lift him up. More were just passing glances. Then he quickly turned his head again.
He sneered. Rubbing his hands: "When I was in Yuzhou, I killed a few people." Most. The nature is the same as yours. I'm sure you've heard of it too. ”
And this sentence seems to have become a mantra. This time he heard three muffled sounds.
Fallen are all elders. However, at this time, he did not have the heart to respect the old and love the young - sometimes the "elders" can also do evil, and especially the evil - which he has also learned in Yuzhou.
The rest of the men turned blue, and their eyes were covered with a look of despair. If there were an imperial politician standing in front of them, he would say the same thing. Maybe they'll feel better. Because it's "the same kind" in a sense, with the same code of conduct as these people. That can be speculated on, and that is a pattern to follow.
However, the ...... in front of him It never seems to make sense to play cards.
It is said that this one doesn't really care about "human life". At least from what is known now, the number of people who died directly or indirectly at his hands is about to be in the hundredth thousand—and that's still the information they have access to.
You must know that the origin of this person is the secret service. It's a mysterious and ruthless department in itself.,Love to deal with all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.。
Li Zhen hung them for more than ten seconds, and then said in a deep voice: "It looks like someone doesn't want to die." Then I'll give you a chance. I'm from the middle of Yuzhou. There's another city and a half between our place and Wanzhou - I'll give you a week. ”
"Within a week, you can use your connections, or make an alliance with the other half of the city—in short, you'll have to take it down for me. Take it down and get everything in order. Then you can all go to my side to report - explain all the dirty things you have done in the past few years, and then don't set foot in Wanzhou again. ”
"It's just such an opportunity, and I'll only say it once. You're all here tonight to hear an explanation, and that's what I say. As for accepting it or not, that's your business. And whether you want to live or not, this is my business. ”
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at them again, turned around and went upstairs, not leaving them time to say half a word.
And it wasn't until a minute after he went upstairs that the hall was still silent. A few blasts of thunder flashed in the sky, reflecting the snow in this not wide space.
As a result, many people feel as if they have just had auditory hallucinations.
Whispers began to sound and the rain began to fall heavier. In the blink of an eye, the water overflowed the steps of the hall entrance. The heavy rain curtain discouraged these people, but it also gave them more time to start exchanging views with each other.
For example, whether that one was bluffing, whether he was too badly injured in the battle just now, that made them jealous and delayed time in this way.
They all knew that this person had been temporarily promoted to a lieutenant officer named Zhong Siwei and pulled up a team. Now, however, the team, which may not have been loyal, has gone to the battlefield to help the disaster - and now it is raining so heavily. Even before the war, it was not easy to rescue and rescue in such weather conditions, let alone now.
Perhaps the team had been trapped by the increasingly violent rain - you must know that the terrain around the Taizi Lake was originally lower.
This speculation lasted for nearly fifteen minutes—no one went out for an interview to let them go, and no one conveyed Li Zhen's "instructions" to them. In this huge office building, it seems that only the young man is left.
Then some inexplicable look began to flicker—the madness of despair. It's only a little bit of it, but it'......
But then suddenly they heard a shout.
"You're going to pour all the water out today?"
This sound was like a bell, and it actually suppressed a thunder that sounded in the sky. The whole building buzzed with this sound, and the whispering people in the hall only felt as if they were locked in a huge bronze bell, and then a strong man with a hammer struck it hard!
The voice came from the third floor, and it was Li Zhen's cheer.
Although every word is unusually clear and loud, when it is put together, these shocked listeners look at each other-
What do you mean?
Is it because you are extremely irritable but helpless, venting your anger on God?
…… This is undoubtedly a good sign.
So after a moment of silence, the eyes full of madness flickered again. It seems that a certain conjecture has been confirmed to a considerable extent.
It wasn't until a few people outside the hall let out a low exclamation, and then were stunned and silent.
The silence spread like a contagious contagion, spreading rapidly with every line of sight cast outside the door, and finally the hall fell into a deathly silence again.
The hall was silent, and so was the vast world beyond the hall.
Because the rain stopped.
In the courtyard, the wide plantain leaves are still swaying slightly, and the crystal water droplets on them are sliding down the edges in a trickle.
In fact, within five seconds of that shout, the torrential rain that had been pouring down just now quickly turned into a drizzling rain. And then ......
The clouds dispersed, and the stars and moon reappeared in the sky.
……
……
Li Zhen stood at the window on the third floor, looking coldly at the rickety figures who hurriedly "escaped" from this building. Then he shook his head slightly, a smile curling into his lips.
In fact, he just asked Lu to fulfill his promise after getting out of trouble, and he would not make trouble. Unexpectedly, the other party actually tried to make amends—she rained down. She recondensed the vapor that had been evaporated by her power into the sky and fell back to the surface again, and did more than he had ever expected.
Isn't she a drought? When will you be able to do the work of the Dragon King?
But good intentions can also do bad things – the disaster area must be in trouble.
can be seen from the hasty backs of these people......
It is really a blessing and a curse to rely on, and a blessing to rely on.
He muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "I wish you were such a person." ”
There seemed to be a faint flash of fire in the sky, like an eye that blinked playfully.
