Aros interrupted their conversation: "Can I go?" He didn't light the cigar on his lips, he just took it in his mouth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun lingered in the West Mountain, and refused to leave, and the wind on the lake was a little more chilly, brushing his cheeks, slightly cool.

The torch in the distance turned from golden to red, as if it had become a real flame, no longer floating on the waves, but standing among the green mountains and beautiful waters and the lights of thousands of homes. The night view of the city from here, the two sides of the mountain road are lit up with splendor.

Zhao Jiali glanced at the scene behind him, and suddenly covered his stomach and said, "I'm hungry...... I really want to eat something. After speaking, he hugged Aros's arm and looked at him expectantly: "Would you like to rest for a while?" ”

The veteran was so worn by him that he had no choice but to nod and agree.

Tang Fang said: "If it gets dark today, wouldn't it be even more hungry to rest, and it is the best policy to rush to Torchlight City as soon as possible." ”

The girl jumped up to him, tilted her head at him and smiled, walked to the stone bench in front and sat down, and began to pull out the backpack again, and took out two boxes of potato chips, a can of beef jerky, two bags of grilled fish fillets, and a few pieces of chocolate.

Claire smiled and said, "Is this a backpack or a treasure bag, why do you have everything?" ”

"Me, it's called an occupational disease." She said as she threw over a bag of grilled fish fillets, and winked at Tang Fang again.

"I like to go to different places, see different landscapes, and take different photos. However, all literature, art and pursuits must be built on the basis of filling the stomach. If someone says to me at such a time, 'Drink water with affection,' 'Delicious food,' or something, I will tell him to get rid of this girl. ”

"What a funny girl." Claire sat down next to her and said, "I envy your life." ”

Zhao Jiali wiped the potato chip powder from the corner of his mouth and said vaguely: "Ah, here...... Here it ......."

Although her voice was a little indistinct, the light in her eyes was as strong as a flame, and it was a kind of excitement, nostalgia, amazement, and anticipation...... A complex psychology of all kinds of emotions blended together.

Tang Fang followed her line of sight and saw the neon city, the sparkling water, and the torch slowly lit in the center of the lake. In the moonless world, it blooms gracefully like a charming epiphany, but it is not short-lived, it can be called eternal, illuminating the entire lake and dispelling the darkness of the mountains.

From their location, the entire urban area around the lake + the torch lighthouse is combined, such as the Lantern Festival.

He looked at the girl and smiled, but didn't say anything. Or hungry or something, it's just a white lie. This was done to surprise them. She may not be a great photographer yet, but she is a good guide...... At least in this land.

She didn't explain anything to everyone, and chose to let them understand the origin of the name "Torchlight City" with their own eyes.

The brilliance of the torch became more and more and brighter, and the whole basin was covered with a dark blue, as if in a fairyland.

During the day, the "Eramok" shines brightly, and at night, the lakes and mountains are bright, which is why the Republic of Date has made the Ilamok star system its capital.

Of course, it is not difficult to build such a beautiful city with the current level of human technology, but everyone knows that the lighthouse that represents Torchlight City is not artificial, and it has been standing in the middle of the lake before humans appeared in the solar system.

"When I was a child, my mother used to take me here and look at the city from afar." Zhao Jiali stuffed the last potato chip into his mouth, patted off the powder sticking to his hand, and said with a satisfied face: "Okay, I'm full." So...... Let's go. ”

Tang Fang picked up the confetti on the stone table and threw it into the trash can next to him, and when he looked back, the girl had already taken Claire's arm and ran to the side of the mountain road, waving her arm towards a beam of light winding down in the distance.

He shook his head and smiled, not stopping the girl's behavior of stopping the car, and letting her do it.

………………

Ten minutes later, a pickup truck-like maglev vehicle rushed down the mountain road with several people and drove towards Torchlight City.

Tang Fang, Aros, and Bukharin were left in the open car behind, and Claire and Zhao Jiali sat in front, and the little girl chatted all the way and chatted with the driver's uncle.

Bukharin said that he regretted it, regretted that he had the wrong child, and that if it was a woman, she would not have to live so hard, and she would not be treated as a burden and still fight back. Tang Fang joked that if it was really a woman, wouldn't it be very hard to give birth to a man.

The black bang leader glanced at Aros and said, "I'm willing," and then really ate a kick from the veteran...... And one more word, "Get out!" ”

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a relatively prosperous street in the suburbs, and the three Tang Fang jumped out of the car, thanked the driver, and then sent a text message to Han Jingyun's prime minister's office with Emma's help.

In just 5 minutes, he received a call from a person who claimed to be Han Jingyun's assistant, telling him that Han Jingyun and Pliden were included? Almaty, as well as other dignitaries, are currently holding an emergency meeting on the epidemic disaster in the sky city of La Prado, and it is impossible to get out of it for a short time to discuss whether the meeting can be postponed.

Tang Fang thought about it for a while and told the man that there was no need to send a commissioner to answer them, since Han Jingyun was in a meeting, it was getting late now, so it was not too late to wait for tomorrow to find a time to meet. After saying that, he disconnected.

With Emma's help, identity is not an issue. Next they found a random hotel and opened four rooms. Cleya naturally wanted to live in the same room with Zhao Jiali, and Bukharin originally wanted to live with Aros, but when he thought that the veteran refused to live or die, Tang Fang had to ask for an extra room.

After dinner, Aros went back to his room. Bukharin told a few people to go out for a walk, and then disappeared.

Don returned to his room and used Emma's power to contact Kelynia to learn about the ceremony, and learned that as he expected, the guests did not complain, but appreciated and thanked him, and some media reported that he had helped the Republic of Date to overcome the epidemic crisis and was tracking the footsteps of the Divine Armed Forces as important news.

Since Zanggowell was stabbed to death by Tang Fang's sword, the Xian Political Promotion Committee, which has gained state power, has gradually deciphered the inside story of the cooperation between the new faction and the Divine Armed Forces to carry out human cloning experiments, so that more and more people can understand the existence of the new underworld force of the Divine Armed Forces.

There is no doubt that they have gone even further than the Supreme Security Council in blaspheming the ethics of the world and engaging in taboo experiments.

Until today, the news that the Talida star system of the Republic of Date had been attacked by the Divine Forces, and that more than 80% of the people in the Sky City had died from the epidemic, and the people's fear and hatred for the Divine Forces had risen to a higher level.

The more he hated God, the more he loved Tang Fang, and even those who had opposed him chose to side with him in this matter.

Just as he was quietly thinking about how to ask for the World Stone System after seeing Han Jingyun tomorrow, there was a knock on the door, not in a hurry, very gentle. Knowing who was coming, he swept away the cluttered thoughts in his head, jumped out of bed, and opened the door.

Claire changed into a long white dress and stood outside the door, smiling at him.

She rarely wears skirts, nor high heels, and most of the time wears a washed and slightly whitish military uniform, or a plain T-shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants or something. But today was different, he thought he should have gone out to buy it while he was on the phone with Kylenia.

"Is it pretty?" She stared into his eyes, and did not shy away from scrutinizing her gaze: "I went out with Jiali just now." ”

Sure enough, he guessed it, just like what happened when he took Elena and Kylinia to Greenwich.

He nodded: "Well, it's beautiful...... To be honest, you wear a military uniform too much, as a girl, you should dress up young and beautiful, just like Zhao Jiali. ”

"Since you like it, then ...... Will I try more fashionable clothes in the future? ”

Tang Fang said: "Is this a curve confession? ”

"Sure enough, it's only three sentences and it's not serious." Claire said: "Jiali fell asleep when she came back, and she didn't even take off her clothes, so she seemed to be really tired. But I can't sleep, I'm going to go out for a walk, would you like to accompany me? ”

Tang Fang nodded: "Let's go, I'm about to go to a place to have a look." ”

Grabbing a coat from the coat rack, the two left the hotel and boarded the rail train at the end of the street to the city center.

The blue glow from the lighthouse flows like a spring, casting a veil over the city, more moving than the moonlight. Maybe it's because it's too late, there aren't many people in the car. Several young men whispered at the back of the carriage, as if discussing an outbreak in the Talida star system. Near the car door, there was an old man with a briefcase, leaning on the armrest and dozing off, occasionally making a quiet snoring sound.

Claire said, "It's so hard...... she didn't mean herself, she said that the old man opposite, who was still working hard at such an age, really made people feel sad.

Tang Fang said: "Although we are accustomed to bloodshed and have become numb to death, many times when we see poor people fighting with the cleaning robot in front of the garbage can for a bite of food, and then being electrocuted to the ground, we will truly understand what it means to be alive." ”

Claire didn't speak, she turned her head to look out the window at the lights and tall buildings, as if she wanted to see the poignant scenes in the dark area through the prosperity in front of her.

Like Joey and Churchill, she always wondered when the Tang would counterattack the Monya Empire, overthrow the brutal rule of the Stewart family, cut off the head of Kirclave I, and pay tribute to the souls of those who died unjustly.

This hatred blinded their eyes and hearts, and even some impatient soldiers complained that Tang Fang was grinding foreign workers in the Star Alliance, why didn't they go straight to the Yellow Dragon, launch a general attack on the Celtic star system, and completely bury those greedy and unbridled elites like they did with Zanggowell.

The longer she was by his side, the more she understood him, and gradually understood why Tang Fang didn't take revenge and kill him. Why did Marion resist the accusations of the other 11 leaders and insist on supporting Tang Fang's ascension.

After so many years of repression and counter-repression, uprising and counter-uprising, the vast majority of the Garcia rebels are dominated by hatred, simply believing that the overthrow of the Stewart family will bring a new life to Monya.

Is this really the case? The public opinion tear staged by the Star Alliance before gave her an impressive lesson in people's livelihood.

Man is wise and blind. In a country like the Star Alliance, which advocates freedom of thought, the tearing of public opinion and the shutdown of the government will bring heavy harm to people's livelihood.

As Kylenia said, the Don was not a qualified leader, and he could not suppress the opposition with merciless slaughter like Kirlclove I did with the Sosya massacre, just as he did with the remaining Monya Imperial naval soldiers on the wandering planet.

Those young people had grown up under the brainwashing of the empire, and no one told them how hateful the elite group led by the Stewart family was, and how many lies they had seen and heard since they were young. Those who know dare not speak out, and those who do not know waving their flags and shouting for the powerful.

They grew up under the protection of their parents, they have not experienced hardship, they are ignorant of the world, they are simple-minded, and they can easily become knives in the hands of butchers, stabbing their fellow citizens, causing more sin and more harm.

In the face of such a young man, what should Tang Fang do? Killed? How is that different from Kirclough I?

Kill them, and the Imperial magnates will laugh even more proudly, because this kind of thing can be used to incite more poor creatures to join the army to fight against the Morning Star Casting and cause more human tragedy......

On the roof of a residential building outside the car window, a young boy lit a cupola cannon and flew into the sky with a bang, bursting into fireworks that were not very beautiful, but the little girl next to him still clapped her hands excitedly, and there was an emotion called happiness in her eyes.

………………

The rail car stopped in the city center, and the two left the platform and walked towards the white beach on the lakeside.

There are few pedestrians on the streets late at night, and only the backs of Lin Lin can be vaguely seen in some bars and night market streets.

More than 5 meters in the air, patrol robots wander back and forth, vigilantly watching some drunken night returnees. Someone whistles at Claire in a neon glow, and someone lifts up an empty can and throws at the floating machines, calling them a bunch of cold-blooded steel brutes.

The two of them walked slowly, sometimes chuckling, just like all couples walking in the park, talking about the small faults and shortcomings of the people around them, and making fun of each other. Only at this time can people like Tang Fang and Claire really relax and escape the pressure brought by responsibility and status. (To be continued.) )
