"Mr. Kaoru came back to ask me something?" Hongyue handed the brewed coffee to Zhuge Xun.

"I have a lot of things I want to ask Miss Hongyue, but I know that even if I ask you, Miss Hongyue may not tell me everything, but, I think, in addition to you, I can get the answers I want......" Zhuge Xun lifted the coffee pot on the table to help Hongyue fill the cup. Miss Red Moon, do you know, what's going to happen in the future? ”

"How shall I answer you?" Red Moon raised her glass gracefully, savoring the bitterness in the cup.

"Can you tell me what kind of man 'Pudde' is?" Zhuge Xun asked tentatively.

"It's not impossible."

"Are there any conditions?"

"Nope. But I thought Ling would explain it to you. ”

"Ling wanted to tell me ......"

"Do you think that I will tell you more things than Ling will tell you? Can you get more from me what you want? ”

"Huh? Haha, now that I've been recognized, I won't quibble. Yes, what I want to hear is everything that comes out of Miss Red Moon's mouth about the person 'Pud'. ”

Hongyue did not answer Zhuge Xun directly, and Zhuge Xun did not continue to ask Hongyue.

After a long time, Red Moon spoke: "Okay, I can tell you everything about Pude, but I have one request. ”

"I knew Miss Red Moon wouldn't tell me in vain. Because Miss Red Moon is a shrewd 'businessman', what kind of request is that? "I guess I want something on me again, not to get the fan back. Zhuge Xun thought so......

"That fan of yours will be of its use, you don't have to worry I'll get it back, it'll be used where it ought. My request...... In fact, it can't be said to be a request, but I hope that after listening to what happened about Pude, no matter what happens in the future, he can still treat Pude and what happened around him with a 'calm' attitude. ”

"Listen to you, like I'm going to hate Pud after knowing everything about him?" I'm such a stingy person.

"I hope Kaoru-san doesn't forget what you said."

"No, it won't."

"Okay then." With a flick of her fingers, Red Moon extinguished all the burning candles in the hall, leaving only a purple candle at hand to illuminate.

The flickering candlelight reflected the two of them, and Zhuge Xun closed his eyes slightly, listening to Hongyue's words without any personal feelings.

Pude, born in June 2014, is 87 years old and is an orthodox military man. Because he had an IQ of 270, he was called a 'prodigy' by the American media at the time when he was three years old, and he hyped up the report. But because his family is a famous 'military family' in the United States, the private life of this little genius is also closely protected.

Budde's family: his grandfather was the former U.S. Secretary of Defense, his father was the chief instructor of the U.S. Army's special forces, his eldest brother was a senior police officer of the HRT Hostage Rescue Team, and his second brother served in the U.S. Navy SEALs, but unfortunately died in the line of duty. My sister works as a teaching assistant at St. John's Law School in the United States.

Pude was nurtured by his fathers since he was a child, he likes military affairs and is proficient in all weapon constructions. At the age of ten, he developed a highly lethal bullet called 'Fireworks'. The reason why it is called "fireworks" is because when the bullet hits the target, it will form a small explosion at the target, and the bullet is filled with the main material of "plutonium", which is one of the main materials for making atomic bombs.

Kaoru should know that the Third World Biochemical War. That starts in 2039. (*World War III is also known as: biological warfare, atomic warfare, the destructive power is stronger than any previous war)

In 2040, the year after the war, at the age of 26, Budde became the commander-in-chief of the U.S. field, which caused a lot of controversy at the time. But his exploits are obvious to all, and his command enabled the United States to dominate the war, greatly suppressing the armies of other participating countries, and even Kaoru's homeland faced defeat. Moreover, at that time, he advocated the use of 'biochemistry' to fight the war, so it should be said that the number of people who died indirectly at the hands of Pude was no less than the last 'turmoil'. But after one thing, the envoy was not in the mood to command the army. That is, Pude's father was hit by the 'fireworks' of a hostile country while directing a raid, and finally died in front of Pude. Pude was very devastated, but what he developed killed his closest people. Moreover, his sister had more than once prevented Pud from taking the position of commander, his sister was a believer, and considered what his brother had done to be a disaster for humanity, no, the existence of his brother was a disaster in itself, and after the incident of Pud's father, his sister also threatened Pud with her life to give up his position as commander.

The death of his father made Budd tired of the war, and thought of the various misfortunes brought by the 'biochemical warfare', so he gave up his job as the commander-in-chief of the United States and withdrew from the war. His withdrawal led to the defeat of the United States in the war.

Then in 2043, the Third World War also came to an end, which lasted for 5 years. That war was finally cleaned up by Kaoru's homeland, but the world has been destroyed beyond recognition in that war.

The world is in a period of post-war recovery from 2044 to 2049. Although the big war has ended, there are still small disputes in various places. People are still living in dire straits. During this time, Pudde devoted himself to the protection of the world's environment, and many of the proposals he proposed played a considerable role in post-war recovery.

However, after all, it is 'biochemical warfare', and people can no longer adapt to the broken living environment left behind after the war. For the sake of the continued development of mankind, the leaders of all the countries of the world sat down to discuss the future direction of existence.

At that meeting, Pude proposed the establishment of a 'circle' as a mode of existence, which was adopted. It will be funded and contributed by all countries, and in 2049 we will start building a form of 'ring' as a form of housing.

It took 30 years to build a total of 10 protective rings and one central ring around the world. The central circle is outwardly divided into binary pentagrams. The members of the 'world government' are elected by global leaders to govern the new social landscape.

The human heart is always unsatisfied, and it always wants to do something beyond the scope of human beings, which is why there was a later outbreak of aliens. If I'm not mistaken, it should have started after 2080.

The appearance of the alien caused the continued construction of the 'circle' to be halted, and people began to deal with the aliens. It is also because of this that there is the current division of 'protection circles' and 'civilian areas'.

In 2085, the Hunters' Association was initially established. Ling was the hunter who participated at that time, and he was also the first hunter, and because of Ling's ability, he has always been regarded as the 'strongest hunter'.

Zhuge Xun should know that Ling is an 'experimental object', right?

It was not until 2090 that the World Hunters' Association and the management of the Circle of Reserves were gradually improved.

And Ling and Pude appreciate each other in their work, which makes the two form a year-old friendship.

Under Ling's persuasion, the 76-year-old Pude joined the Hunters' Association as the chief hunter chief, commanding all hunters in the world, and on this condition, Pude asked the association to obtain the management of the second circle with a circle as an "autonomous circle".

"You're saying that the guy who led the 'biochemical warfare' was actually Pudder? And this form of 'circle' is actually adopted by his opinion? "Zhuge Xun listened to Hongyue's words in disbelief. During the period of the biochemical war, I had heard that there was a genius on the American side, and if the war had not ended at that time, I might have stepped in. Because that war is the greatest disaster in human civilization!

I didn't care about it before, because the situation was not serious enough to require people like me to come forward, and it was also because I was a little selfish, hoping that through that war, the world could be 'purified' in another sense.

Red Moon didn't answer Zhuge Xun's question, but continued, "Have you seen Pude and Pude's family? ”

"Yes. But I only saw his eldest son. His wife seems to ......"

"Hmm. Budde's first wife married the daughter of his father's family at the age of 24. Pude didn't like that woman, and it can be said that Pude didn't like anyone at that time, and he didn't think anyone was worthy of him. Later, because of the war, Pude also ignored his wife. After the war, because of his father's death, Pude began to care about the people around him, and also understood the difficulties of his wife, so the two were also 'love'. At the age of 32, Pude had a son, Henry, while his wife died in childbirth.

And his second wife is a Chinese, speaking of which, the only woman Pude really loved was that woman.

The woman was rescued by Pude, who was pregnant at the time, and her husband was an officer, but he resolutely left the woman and her unborn child for the sake of the country's stability. After the Third War, the corners of the world were still not peaceful, so the woman fell into the hands of others, and just when the woman was about to kill herself, Pud rescued her and took her back to his own home, and later learned that the woman's husband had died for the country, and the woman had a miscarriage because she could not bear the blow. When a woman is down, Pude has always been by his side, although women don't like Pude, and they don't like soldiers, but as a woman, she will think about her own future, and it's not easy for outsiders to say anything about this. Maybe the woman wants to use Pude to get a peaceful life, or maybe Pude wants to use this poor woman to get a sense of 'home'.

When Pude was 49 years old, the woman gave birth to two boys and a girl for him, but there was a small accident during the operation, and the woman failed to get off the operating table......

In fact, Budde's eldest son, Henry, hated that woman very much......

That's all about Pudde's personal affairs. As for the rest, I hope you can find out for yourself......" Red Moon put down the cup in her hand and looked meaningfully at the burning candle in her hand.

"Miss Red Moon, may I ask a question? You can choose not to answer me. ”

"What?"

"Is that woman your 'guest'?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I can only feel it vaguely."

Hongyue smiled but didn't answer......

"Something is going to happen in the second lap, right?"

"What will happen?"

"I want to ask you."

"How do I know?"

"Miss Red Moon hates Pudder?"

"It's not annoying."

"When I was in the second lap with Ling, I heard some news that the people who were in turmoil last time were playing the idea of the second lap. That's why I'm back to ask you about Pudde. ”

"Then you know, do you have any thoughts?"

"Miss Red Moon is really shrewd." Zhuge Xun couldn't see a trace of wavering in the deep pupils of the red moon, and he couldn't guess the true thoughts of the red moon in front of him.

"Can I think you're complimenting me?"

"Yes. It's all this time, and it's time for me to go back. Zhuge Xun got up and went back to his room. There are still some things I still want to confirm with Ling, and that's probably all Red Moon can tell herself.

It wasn't until Hongyue heard Zhuge Xun close the door of the room that she got up and came to the window, and said to herself: "I kept my agreement with you, but I have no obligation to interfere whether he will do it or not." So you can sleep in peace, good night lady. The candle behind Red Moon burned out, and the hall suddenly darkened, and only the hazy moonlight outside the window shone in......

Central Circle:

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Ling, Morley nervously closed the door of his office and led Ling to his personal space in his office.

"Did something happen? I listened to Pudder...... So come and have a look. Ling sensed that Morley was unusual.

"You've just arrived, and I'm trying to figure out how to contact you and my father." Morley closed the doors and windows and sat down on the couch with a sigh of relief.

"Is it about 'being attacked in the second circle'?" Ling sat across from Morley.

"You've heard? Yes. Now almost everyone in the Central Circle knows about it, but it is no longer clear where it came from in the first place. Ling: What happened to you last time was so reckless! Mo Li counted Ling unceremoniously. The two of them usually have something to say, and they are used to it.

"I've been taught by him in Pudena. Just spare me. Ling said jokingly.

"Alas, Ling, you should know that the association's attitude towards you is now, so my father's side will be a little embarrassed, but you also know that my father and we have not thought about it that way. Therefore, the opinions of the association headquarters and the central government have also diverged over this incident. This is the least optimistic development. Morley is also very distressed about the current situation.

"Do you have any clue?" Ling came here this time to hear the opinion of Morley, who works in the Central Circle.

"No...... After hearing the rumors, I started investigating, but there was no sign at all. There was no movement on Alian's side. ”

"There is no special sign in the second lap...... "The last thing Ling wants is to see Pude being implicated by herself, because she asked Pude to lead the hunters, if something goes wrong now......

"Ling, you don't have to blame yourself, no matter what happens. Actually, there's one thing I'm more concerned about, but I can't say what it is......"
