"Lay down your arms, surrender, we just want money. ”

There was such a shouting sound outside, and at the same time, there was the sound of guns roaring, and the younger brother next to him looked at his brother in horror, but Huo Chongjun shook his head firmly.

A convoy of fifty-two people, when they were about to arrive at the largest port in the eastern part of the Southern Continent, was targeted by a group of gangsters, and now the team of more than thirty people is besieging everyone.

Am I going to die here?

Huo Chongjun took a deep breath, but involuntarily remembered his choice.

As a native of the Southern Continent, he was exceptionally intelligent since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was admitted to the National University of Luolinguo, and he also won a scholarship from the Empire, if it weren't for family factors, he would probably go to work in the Empire and become one of the citizens of the Empire.

Rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix, he finally decided to stay, after graduating from college, he stayed in the country of Luolin, became the representative of a large enterprise in the empire, he worked hard, had a happy home, and then ......

"Big brother, I, let's surrender......"

The younger brother said again, including other men, who were also afraid, but in this era of war and chaos, would the gangsters really let everyone live?

If you surrender, there is still a chance that you will survive one percent......

He couldn't help but think of his choice.

Before the economic crisis, he was a middle-level white-collar worker in Luo Linguo, and his life was very satisfying, although there was all kinds of corruption and social instability in the local area, he still felt a little lucky.

Although he had two opportunities to work in the empire and finally immigrate to the empire on a work visa, he finally gave up, and he had a large family of relatives, including a network of local contacts, how could he be willing to leave.

Then, after the economic crisis, he hesitated again until the vanguard of the Red Order approached the city, and then he made up his mind to flee......

Everyone who is abandoned by the times is an afterthought.

I don't know why, he suddenly remembered this sentence, maybe a long time ago, he should have understood.

"Surrender, big brother, maybe they will spare us......"

"So what about my sister-in-law and your girlfriend? Will they survive?"

Huo Chongjun smiled miserably and shook his head gently.

"When I'm dead, you surrender!"

He jerked to his feet, ready to shoot.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this time, there was a sudden dull gunfire in the distance, the gunfire was not fast, but it was very rhythmic, and Huo Chongjun saw the gangsters fall to the ground one by one like rice.

No matter where they are hiding, they will always be hit by bullets.

Ten minutes later, a man dressed in civilian clothes calmly walked over and solved the remaining gangsters with a bayonet.

......

Zhou Huan inspected the gangsters he killed, and he was not worried about killing the wrong person at all.

This group of gangsters in horse-killing costumes, one by one steampunk looks, hang their heads on the back of the motorcycle, such people, what kind of good people will they be?

Zhou Huan didn't work hard to follow Xin Shisi Niang, in addition to the help of a satellite, Zhou Huan also tracked her location through taste, after returning from the reincarnation of life and death in the Xichuan realm, some of Zhou Huan's abilities have been significantly improved, such as the sense of smell.

This made it easy for him to track Xin Shi Niang.

Tracking is not the end, Zhou Huan does not need to follow behind Xin Shi Niang all day long, and, looking at what the girl did, Zhou Huan couldn't help but ask himself.

Am I slacking off?

Am I arrogant?

Everyone who is abandoned by the times is an afterthought.

He stared at those who had been rescued and sighed slightly.

There are some things that you know, you know, but you don't know how miserable they are without experiencing them or refusing to see and observe.

Following Xin Shi Niang, Zhou Huan has seen a lot of things in the past three months.

Brutal feudal lords, martial arts masters, local elites who are self-conscious, and people who are desperate for the future.

Weakness and ignorance are not sins, arrogance is.

After decades of various tosses, the Imperial Alliance used various means to loot the wealth of the Southern Continent, making this land more and more barren, and the gap between the rich and the poor getting wider and wider, and then there was a financial crisis like a storm, which directly destroyed a lot of things.

Then, the most desperate places are often pregnant with the fiercest flames.

But...... Did Zhou Huan notice this situation?

It doesn't matter, wait a little longer, and then reorganize the mountains and rivers, the worse the fight here, the more convenient it will be to clean up here in the future.

Then, the Flame Order came out to do things.

Shaolin Wudang, these major sects, although they were pressed to the ground by the empire and Zhou Huan, but the effect of force was mutual, and after the high tide again and again, their successors also understood why they failed back then!

So they learned their lesson, began to plough deep on this land, and began to do things wholeheartedly, not seeking to work hard at one time and one place.

"Mr. Li, thank you, really thank you. ”

The rescued group of people ran out from behind the car and thanked Zhou Huan, they knew from Zhou Huan's identity card that Zhou Huan, who had changed his appearance, was a ranger of the empire.

Zhou Huan has no ill feelings towards this group of people, these days, the empire's external propaganda, and Xin Shi Niang's propaganda, although they are incompatible, can be understood.

There are doctors, businessmen, nurses, programmers, the elite of the country, working hard to maintain a meagre happiness, and they are all law-abiding people.

It's just that some money has some ability, so it's a little more flexible.

"Mr. Wang, can you escort us to the port in the east, I know that such a request is unreasonable, but ......"

It was a mother in her twenties who spoke, she looked at Zhou Huan pitifully, and took out gold and imperial currency.

"I don't want money, but I have a mission, I can walk with you, I can leave at any time, and I have to listen to my orders on the way, understand?"

It's nothing to save a group of people, anyway, it just so happened that Xin Shi Niang was also heading towards a port in the east.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

The group of people frantically thanked, there is a martial arts master following everyone, I don't know how much the safety will be improved along the way!

The convoy slowly moved forward, running over some of the bodies lying on the road.

It's like the wheel of the times, I just don't know who will run over this time.

Just like the old-fashioned Huashan faction back then, it was not Zhou Huan who crushed them, but the times, and that era did not allow them to do things like that.

So, what about Zhou Huan at this moment, will he become an obstructor of the times?

At this moment, if you look at it from space, you can see that countless refugees are flocking to the ports of the Eastern Continent, which are already overcrowded, and the vanguard of the Flame Order is also advancing towards the eastern ports.

A big war is about to begin.

......

Regarding the argument mentioned in the previous chapter, the strong soldiers and horses are the Son of Heaven, just look at the history, the Tang Dynasty swept away the Turks after the Weishui Alliance, the Ming Dynasty kept sweeping Mongolia and so on, this is a successful case, but what about the failure? There are so many examples of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Later Tang Dynasty, etc., if you want to be unified, you must meet the test of foreign races and so on, if you succeed, it will be Taizu, otherwise it will be the end of the Later Tang Dynasty, why Liu Yu will go on a northern expedition, etc., this is the meaning.

A foot of water, a leap over, but this leap is not easy, many people have seen successful examples in history, but there are many more failures than successes, even a peerless strong man like Liu Yu has not passed this foot of water, and has to rush to the top.

What would have happened if his Northern Expedition had succeeded?

In the past two days, the body has recovered, and the update is not on time, please understand.
