Chapter 17: Farewell
Boris, whose full name is Boris Sidor Morozov, was born into an ordinary family in Double Eagle County.
His appearance is mediocre, his IQ and physique are average, and he has never shown any special talents when he was growing up.
Of course, he's not a man of ability.
Such an ordinary person is now the leader of one of the largest resistance groups in the world, the "Iron Alliance", and it is even possible that he will realize even greater ambitions in the near future.
Truth be told, even to him, it was a bit incredible.
But that's the reality......
Looking back on his life, if we have to find something outstanding from him to give him an inevitable cause for his current situation, I am afraid it can be ...... "luck".
Most people think they can tell what is "good luck" and what is "bad luck", but they may not.
For example, when Boris was eighteen years old, one day, his parents were suddenly hit and killed by a federal official's son in a drag race, and the other party was clearly drunk driving and speeding through a red light three times...... This, it seems, is undoubtedly bad luck.
But on the other hand, if it weren't for this incident, Boris would not have dropped out of school and joined the Predator Alliance; If his parents hadn't died, he would have taken a completely different path in life.
For example, in the year of the outbreak of the "Battle of Cochin", Boris, who was worthy of the rank of sergeant, was seriously injured by a stray bullet as soon as he entered the battlefield. Originally, in this era of extremely advanced medicine, although Boris was seriously injured, he could still recover his combat ability in a short period of time, but he was so stunned that he was cured by the goods and lay in the rear for several months...... This, it seems, is also bad luck.
But on the other hand, if this is not the case, Boris may not have lived to the end of the campaign, and even if he did, he might have become a prisoner and finally die in an even more painful form elsewhere.
Of course, there is another most typical example: on the day of the "Iron Curtain", he happened to be on a business trip in Africa and escaped.
Undoubtedly, the reason for his business trip was not because of anything good. In that tight war situation at that time, among all the lieutenant colonels of the Iron and Blood Alliance, only Boris was not entrusted with practice, in fact, since he was promoted to this position, he has been transferred all day long, "exchanging work experience" with other organizations.
The reason why the superiors don't use him is also very simple...... This person is good at everything, but he is really not good at ability.
There is no question of his loyalty, after all, he and the Federation are mortal enemies; His qualifications are also sufficient, after so many years, as long as he can still breathe, even if he is disabled, he is already a general, and it is not too much for him to be a lieutenant colonel.
Boris's only problem is his ability, in Zilin's words - mediocrity.
However, it was this mediocrity, as well as a series of coincidences, that pushed him to his current position.
If "History" is a stand-up comedian, then what happened to Boris should be considered one of the most commonly used humor formulas for this actor, and we can even see similar shadows in many emperors - no matter how much those emperors took their achievements for granted in the history books.
In short, all the "bad luck" that Boris had in the past seems to have become a "blessing in disguise".
But...... Is this the final ending?
Apparently not.
Boris's legend has only just begun.
In the early hours of November 1, his luck helped him again.
The "purge" of the Reverse Cross was in full swing that night, with Hanna Medvedeva, the commander-in-chief of the Cossack rangers allied with him, the commander of the Berber Soul, Uvitunma, the leader of Yashan, Xiahouyan, and a special operations team that was almost the last elite force of the Federation...... They were all purged that night.
Only Boris, with the advantage of being "not a capable person" and having no distinguishing characteristics, escaped from the combat zone dangerously under the desperate escort of several subordinates.
Disguised as a disguise, he easily blended in with the civilians, and left the area afterwards to make contact with the Order.
After this night, he became the only remaining leader of the Resistance Group other than Zilin, and he immediately made the Anti-Cross public what he had done, debunking the "Clone Leader" trick of the Anti-Cross.
For a time, the whole world was shocked and the people were full of indignation.
At the moment when the Federation was about to fall, Zilin, a man under the banner of the "Sixth Empire", committed such atrocities in order to usurp the world, and the leaders of the rebels who were regarded as heroes by the civilians were killed by him, where would anyone support him?
In this way, the members of the Cross, who were already sparsely numbered and had no real military power, became the target of public criticism; The rebels elected Boris as the "general leader" of all the organizations, led them to sign an armistice with the Federation, and both sides used all their strength to search for and eliminate members of the Contracrusades around the world.
About a year later, Zilin and the members of the Anti-Cross either died or disappeared from the world, and there was no sign of Anti-Cross activity in the world.
Soon after that, the top leaders of the federation, who had been secretly hooking up with Boris, finally made a gesture of "unconditional surrender and submission" on the surface after negotiating the interests of both sides.
Boris became the first leader of the "new government", and some of those who had lost the internal struggle at the top of the federation were pushed out to fill the public outrage, while the rest were slowly whitewashed by public opinion and still retained their place in the new government.
The world is stable again.
Boris has since reached the pinnacle of his life and has become the most powerful man on the planet, sitting on endless wealth and beautiful women......
Afterward......
He didn't know what happened next.
Because this is the end of his "daydream".
By the time he had dreamed of this, K and Solid had already eliminated all of the guards around him and Hannah in near-silence.
Incidentally, during this period, Hannah was also having a dream similar to Boris.
After confirming that there were no more surviving or hidden guards, Solid left, as Kageori, who had infiltrated the city ten minutes earlier, had already sent several coordinates, indicating that most of the scouts she was tracking had been in battle, and that Solid had to follow him to see what was going on, lest he miss the deaths of any important people.
Not long after, on the side of the bridge, except for K, who was watching from a long distance, Che Wuchen was the only one left...... and two corpses that died in a daydream.
Che Wuchen didn't let those two suffer too much, with his current ability, he can not only make multiple people fall into "daydreams" at the same time, but also "kill people in dreams".
To put it simply, as long as he makes someone dream that he is drowning, that person will suffocate in reality; Therefore, his current approach is to let those two people "die suddenly" in a sweet dream.
After confirming that he had obtained two whole bodies, Che Wuchen slid off the roof of the car, sat on the hood, and pulled out a box of cigarettes.
He knocked out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and picked up the lighter.
Fire, can't be lit.
That damn sea breeze was certainly a reasonable explanation, but Che Wuchen inexplicably had an ominous premonition at this moment.
His instincts were accurate, and after a few seconds, a steady hand reached out from the darkness and held a lighter on fire in front of him.
Che Wuchen raised his head slightly, and saw Jack's vicissitudes of life in the firelight.
"Heh......" he chuckled, grabbed the cigarette between his fingers, and leaned his head forward a few bits, allowing Jack to light it for him.
"You're pretty neat, have you considered being a killer?" Instead of putting away the lighter immediately, Jack lit himself a cigarette as well.
"Uh-" Che Wuchen spat out a cigarette, and instead of answering Jack's question, he asked rhetorically, "You didn't come here to praise me, did you?" β
Jack also took a puff on his cigarette and replied unhurriedly, "Then what do you think I'm here for?" β
"Heh......" Che Wuchen smiled again, smiling bitterly, "You should have come to kill me." β
"Someone's going to kill you." Jack replied, "But not me." β
"Oh?" Che Wuchen said, "Who is that?" β
"What do you say?" Jack also answered the questions again and again.
But Che Wuchen really thought of the answer as soon as he asked: "Hmm...... I see. β
Cha Wuchen didn't say anything more about this question, nor did he turn his head to look, or make any dodging moves, because he knew that since he was in K's scope at the moment, it was useless to do anything.
"Indeed...... To deal with my ability, long-range sniping is the most correct way to do it. Che Wuchen dusted off his cigarette ash and continued, "So...... You're here to say goodbye to me? Or is there something else to say? β
"Once you get acquainted, you should come to the Tao individually." Jack said, "Also...... Don't you want to ask why you're dying? β
"No, I know why." Che Wuchen said, taking another puff of his cigarette, "Uh-I'm not so naΓ―ve as to think that I can live until my son ascends the throne and then become the 'King of Agents' of the Sixth Empire or something...... But you, I don't understand, why can you live longer than me? β
"Because I still have some work to do." Jack's answer was also succinct and to the point.
"Hmm." Che Wuchen nodded thoughtfully, in the smoke, his eyes became very complicated, and his tone became very tired, "It's hard for you......" He threw away the cigarette butt and smiled at Jack, "Then I wish you good luck." β
Poof-
In the next second, a silenced sniper bullet arrived as scheduled, piercing Che Wuchen's skull, ending his life in an instant.
After this shot, K in the distance put down his sniper rifle and stopped aiming at anything - his mission for tonight was all done.
Jack, on the other hand, just finished his cigarette in silence, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked into the darkness again.
