The captain stared at Li Zhen for a while, then put down the phone in his hand. Then he loosened the tie at the neckline and narrowed his eyes: "Since you said so, then let's get straight to the point." ”

"Personally, I think you're a very capable person, but not a qualified soldier. A qualified soldier would not believe such unbelievable rumors, let alone go to the moon based on his own inference, and then go to the so-called spear of fate. The captain looked at Li Zhen intently, "But at the same time, I have deep admiration for everything you have done in the Philippines, but admiration does not mean that I fully approve of you." In fact, you are better suited to be a folk hero than the leader of an army. ”

"As for what you just mentioned...... Sorry, it does. The military doesn't want to see you here, because that would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble - the area has only stabilized in the last year or two, and we don't want to risk it. So personally, my advice to you is ......"

The captain pursed his lips: "Get out of here, go wherever you want." Maybe somewhere else is willing to take you in. ”

Then he looked at Li Zhen's eyes without the slightest timidity.

In fact, most of this courage comes from the separation zone in front of the two sides - with this kind of thing, it is difficult for any energy system to pass through.

Li Zhen looked at him for a while, and suddenly grinned: "Take in? Are you here? Then it sounds like you're trying to cut things up. ”

The captain replied quietly, "Just for the better development of the Cun." Even the former empires lived through the era of centralization and constitutionalism. ”

"That sounds like an unwelcome persona." Li Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly. "What else do you want to say to me?"

The captain's chest rose and fell slightly, and he took a deep breath: "Good luck." ”

Then he turned around and walked towards the military vehicle.

The lieutenant beside him didn't say a word the whole time, and even his expression didn't fluctuate.

It's just that the moment the captain turned around, he suddenly nodded at Li Zhen.

Even though he was emotionally complicated, Li Zhen still noticed his small movements—because he also made a lip shape when he nodded. If he wasn't mistaken, what the other party said was-

"Wait for me."

Li Zhenxin's head jumped, and he focused all his attention on that person.

When he spoke to the captain just now, the other party's words brought him too much surprise. So much so that he ignored the person beside the other party who had been silent. But now it seems that this man's self-cultivation skills seem to be better than that one-

"Expressionless from beginning to end" is such a thing. Not everyone can learn it.

The sudden doubt temporarily suppressed the resentment in his heart. Li Zhen stood in place, watching the military vehicle go away. Then he suddenly realized that he had overlooked one thing - the car had its headlights on.

Then it means that there is still electricity in this world. The reason why the students of the Southwest Coalition are holding candles is probably because the electricity supply in this area is insufficient. This is to be expected – if the so-called separation strip cuts all the cables. They are really self-sufficient.

As for the one...... What do you want to do?

Are there still divisions within them?

Li Zhen thought for a moment. Look at the spear of Longinus in his hand. From the time he retrieved it to the present. In his memory, it took less than a week. But it's been five years since this world-

Originally, he thought that even five years would be bearable. Because he holds the only hope of humanity in his hands, he can still go to fight and fulfill his responsibilities. To plunge into the torrent of this great era.

But now suddenly a captain unceremoniously said to himself that they had found a better way. Everything that I and those people used to do in the past is just a fantasy.

Impossible......

Li Zhen took a deep breath and felt his chest tremble slightly. Not because of the anger of being belittled or banished, but because of ......

Everything you do seems pointless. The result of sacrificing five years of my own time and sacrificing the time of so many people seems meaningless.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Shen Mu.

That's how it feels, right?

That's how he felt when he put his hand around his neck and asked him sincerely if he could stop thinking and give up his theory, right? The sense of loss abandoned by the world and fate, and the sense of despair that life has lost its meaning.

Li Zhen stood there for a while, and slowly walked to the shade of the tree just now.

The sun was still fierce, but he only felt cold all over his body. Looking up into the distance, the other side seemed to have a few soldiers with them. Soldiers stood guard outside the stadium gate and stopped several students.

Scold...... Prevent yourself from coming into contact with those people.

A trick to kill without seeing blood.

Guo Jinyuan had already told him last night that the area he was in could be regarded as a "dead land". Once occupied by a barrier, it has only recently slowly expanded, forming a small no-man's land—like a trail of water.

And the other party told himself to go somewhere else - if he was really an ordinary person, maybe he would spend ten days exploring the whole area before despairing to find that this place was closed. Or the "exit" they call will come across by chance, and he can really go somewhere else.

But it's more likely that he'll be stuck here forever. until they have exhausted all their food and starved to death.

It's just that some people don't seem to know much about him. They still don't know how strong their vitality is.

But in any case, the other party's attitude is quite clear - get out of here, regardless of your life or death.

For the first time, Li Zhen experienced what it means to be "angry and laugh" - because of this naked contempt and malice. And what they rely on is nothing more than the separation zone in front of them. With this thing, he couldn't pose the slightest threat to those people until he figured out a way out of it.

But he wasn't a war criminal, or even an inconsequential man.

Li Zhen took a few deep breaths. But it was no longer possible to calm down. In fact, he was tempted to get away from here at the moment, to see if he could really find any other exit, and then ......

Thinking of this, he was stunned again.

And then what? Because there is no "taking in" yourself...... Just kill the door?

The other person may be able to do this, but he feels that he can't do it. Maybe they could be questioned at the right time? But that must be if the empire still exists – a military tribunal would give a fair verdict on such matters. But the question is...... They want to secede.

They will divide the territory, and here they are kings.

You can't question them with a sense of duty, a sense of honor, a sense of morality – because they've long since abandoned them.

Li Zhen thought for a while and smiled dumbly.

He felt that even after going through so many things, he was really an honest person. Just through this method, you are about to suffocate yourself from internal injuries. The problem is that he's been trying to think in the same way he thought five years ago --

"If the Empire were still alive". The problem is that the empire has all but lost control, and now they are king of themselves. They didn't play according to the routine, and they didn't give themselves the treatment they deserved – even the most basic humanitarian relief.

However, the other problem is......

He's not a guy who likes to play by the rules.

With the talent of "messing around", he feels that he is born full. It's just disdainful of using it.

He shook the Lance of Longinus in his hand and sat down slowly.

He didn't mind waiting a little longer—to see what the lieutenant officer wanted to say to him.

All afternoon, the stadium on the plastic track was empty. Li Zhen could see the shadows of several young people wandering outside the gate from a distance, but because the soldiers at the gate did not come forward. A few hours ago, he felt like a prisoner, but now he is a prisoner.

It was a sweltering afternoon, and by the evening it was finally a little cooler. The sun sets, and the sunset also brightens the sunset. A whole cloud was piled up in the western sky, and it looked as if it had been carved out of a huge piece of topaz. Li Zhen looked at it, and he could still see faint high-rise buildings.

He waited from the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening to the sunset and moonrise.

There was some hunger in his stomach, so he broke a stalk of grass and chewed it in his mouth, but the more he chewed, the more thirsty he became.

When the bright moon rose to the middle of the sky, Li Zhen heard footsteps. It was obviously the footsteps of a man, deliberately light, but still calm and vigorous. The other party stopped and stopped, as if looking at the soldiers at the door.

After repeating this several times, the man finally reached the position where he was during the day and looked over to the other side of the barrier.

Li Zhen was sitting in the shade of a tree, and the moonlight was not very bright today. So the man lowered his voice and shouted, "...... Generals, generals! ”

Li Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer him immediately. He was observing the other person's appearance.

The man was dressed in civilian clothes and was in his thirties. There was genuine eagerness and anxiety in his voice, and the words used made his position clear—instead of calling him "Your Excellency" as the captain did, he was called "General".

Li Zhen is a major general in the secret service system, but this system is not separated from the military. Even when the colonel saw him, he had to salute first and then honorifically "Your Excellency". However, due to historical reasons, in private, army officers generally only refer to the generals of the secret service system as "Your Excellency". Only executive officers use the title of "general".

The other party used the name five years ago. This means that he should have been an executive officer in the past.

So Li Zhen stood up, walked out of the shade, and said in a low voice, "I'm here." (To be continued......)
