Chapter 7: I'm Back
In Tingluo District, more than 2 million villains, poor people, and vagrants have gathered...
As the residence of people below 50 at the comprehensive evaluation point, from the platform, from a distance, dilapidated houses of different heights cover the entire field of vision, colorful LED light signs, handmade wooden plaques are hung from one end to another, and crowded people walk on the dirty streets, typical of the old Hong Kong-style slums.
Of course, Tingluo District is still a little special, although it is dirty and backward and faces many dangers, but because of its unique geographical location, it is extremely close to the defense tower of Shangnan City, so after nearly half a century of evolution, it has become the largest machinery trading and maintenance base in Shangnan City.
Construct pilots certified by the Combat Association can prepare here, then set off from the defensive tower to destroy the Mist Beasts.
For example, the flying machine and the red-winged giant bat whizzing in the sky are examples, and the anti-wing fighter was inadvertently hit by the sound wave of the red-winged giant bat, pulling up a puff of black smoke and hitting the protective shield, turning into a brilliant fire.
Death is also the norm here.
Lu Ze, who was wearing a high school uniform, calmly walked through the streets and alleys, and after going around and around, he appeared on the fourth floor of an old building, with a broken road passing through the outside, and large and small houses side by side on the inside.
It was dark and damp, with rats creaking through the corners and small advertisements on the walls glowing yellow.
Lu Ze stopped, sniffed the slowly wafting smell of engine oil, and looked at the shop ten meters away.
The sign is a dismantled car door with five words crooked and crooked with rivets.
【Brilliant Machine Shop】!
Look carefully, there is a line of small characters written with charcoal pen below [also selling breakfast, soy milk, tofu brain, fritters, wife cakes, sesame paste, sand tea noodles, 、......]
It is also covered with neon signs that taste low to explode, and from a distance, it looks like a hair salon.
However, there was no beautiful woman on the platform at the door, but instead there was an uncle with a sighing stubble and a cigarette in his mouth, and under his suspenders was a body of exposed tendon meat, squatting on the scrap iron frame at 45 degrees looking up at the opposite building, and his melancholy eyes were like a homesick grass and mud horse.
People come and go around him, he is dazzling and lonely.
Several bewitching women with bare waists walked more than ten meters away, and the uncle's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he took a deep puff of cigarettes, brewing a certain emotional spray.
"Tang Yingqi is here."
A gentle call sounded from his ears, but in Tang Hui's ears, it was like a sudden thunderclap.
"I didn't smoke!!"
With a shout, Tang Hui grabbed the remaining half of the cigarette butt in his hand, and held his mouth and nose at the same time.
So the rest of the smoke naturally erupted from his ears......
"Yo, is Old Tang performing acrobatics?"
An uncle next to him happily walked away with half a catty of fritters.
The puff of smoke just now directly suffocated half of Tang Hui's face, and he squatted at the door angrily, like a hairy crab struggling to endure high temperatures.
Lu Ze Shi Ran walked in front of Tang Hui, waved his hand in a friendly manner, and then walked to the stairs next to him with a smile.
Tang Hui pretended to be majestic and nodded, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
As it should be, Lu Ze replied to him with an affirmative look.
Wow......
It was the sound of cigarette butts being extinguished.
Lu Ze didn't feel guilty at all, because he knew that cigarette butts as high as 700 degrees were at most hot red for this hidden uncle.
At the moment when he was about to ascend the stairs, Lu Ze turned around, and nostalgia flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Uncle Tang." ”
"Huh?!"
Tang Hui, who didn't dare to move, subconsciously raised his head, and doubts flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you." Lu Ze smiled and ascended the stairs.
Tang Hui's eyes flashed dazed, did this kid Lu Ze take the wrong medicine today?
Thank you for what Lao Tzu said!
Wait a minute.
Tang Hui's face flashed solemnly.
Just now, it seems that this kid said that Yingqi is back!
His neck stiffened, and the brightest smile brewed on Tang Hui's face, and then he turned back a little, and after seeing the empty road, the man in his forties scolded.
"Lu Ze, you little rabbit cub, you dare to slap your Uncle Tang."
"Lao Tzu's hands are burned!"
"Hey, uncle's hand is useless."
"Oops! Lao Tzu is disabled......"
The sound of scolding, with a fake moan, intermittently entered the corridor.
The corners of Lu Ze's mouth hooked up a bright smile.
This greasy and sloppy-looking middle-aged man was called Tang Hui, and when the tower emerged from the depths of the mist, he was one of the first people to step into the Storm Realm.
He also has a fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged cold girl, two years older than himself, a sophomore at A-level Streamer Academy, and Tang Yingqi, who will be known as the queen of artillery in the future.
It's a pity that three years after the future himself entered the fog, both died.
The reason for his death was very simple, but it was enough for Lu Ze to remember the two lives before and after.
The simple bracelet kept in the battle alliance recorded the calm figures of Tang Hui and Tang Yingqi in front of the sea of fire.
……
"Aze, back then, your father used half his life to block that shot for Uncle Tang and became a waste. are all gentlemen, who is not in the wind and fire, your father should naturally be taken care of by my old Tang for the rest of his life. ”
"But this time, my life was not good, and I was found by the enemy."
"Maybe your kid died in the fog a long time ago, if you didn't die by luck, then live well."
"It's all said and done, it's recorded before every battle, no wonder such a big person is so miserable." The tall figure in the pilot's uniform stood with his arms crossed, and his cold voice was dissatisfied, obviously Tang Yingqi was urging.
"That's it, that's it...... Dad, isn't this just in case, haha. ”
Tang Hui smiled and turned off the projection babblingly.
This is the last image left by the two of them.
……
That man, who kept his promise for twenty years.
It's just that even if both of them stepped into the 12-star realm, they eventually fell.
When he returned from the eighth floor of the Mist Tower, all he saw was a city that had long since been reduced to ruins, and the 100,000 Mist Behemoths that occupied the land.
That year, Lu Ze was 37 years old, 15 Star Realm, and the next king.
It was then that he learned that the two families had such a secret past.
Perhaps for their father and Tang Hui, being alive is their greatest gratification.
However, this is not what he wanted.
Therefore, it took Lu Ze three years, starting from a footprint left at the scene, and gradually restoring the entire fact among thousands of clues.
[Black Snake Organization], [Gao Li Family], [Silver Alliance]......
It's just that when he found out the truth, he found that the misty beast had destroyed most of the enemies for him.
The surviving Gao and Li families were destroyed by the Terekin family that rose in Northern Siberia during a civil conflict.
The so-called grudge has turned into a wave in the long river of history.
The saddest thing in life is that the son wants to raise but does not wait for his relatives.
The most hated thing in life is that time will bury everything.
It was also from that moment that Lu Ze completely severed his connection with the earth, leaving only the human wanderer, the only title he kept.
……
In the dimly lit corridor, there was a lot of debris, but the iron door was wiped clean.
Lu Ze's palm was placed on the old doorknob, and the face that had not changed color even if the celestial body was pressed on the top finally changed.
After saying a few words, he was out of breath, dragging a sick body but teaching his father who stood up to the sky, Lu Zongguang.
always hates iron and steel, but loves his mother more than anyone else, Li Shiwei.
In order to subsidize the family, he secretly went to work at the age of thirteen, but was crippled and gritted his teeth and kept silent on his younger brother, Lu Ming.
This is the softest place in his heart, the place where his soul returns from the thoughts of his countless sleeps.
This place is called - home!
The corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, and his palms gripped the doorknob tightly.
When the familiar voice came from the crack in the door, the corners of Lu Ze's mouth pursed and hooked.
"Mom, Dad...... I am back. ”
The boy opened the door and smiled brightest in two lifetimes.
