Volume 2 The Federation Chapter 24 Tales of Doom

At six o'clock in the evening, a whistle blew and Chief Luna sent out the final assembly, and everyone understood that this was the end of today's training.

The garrison will naturally ask the recruits to train at night, guard posts, and even patrol, but not tonight, and it is not the turn of these girls in Tianxia, and in this matter, according to the grapevine, it seems that men are preferred.

However, before that, they still have to eat, otherwise many people don't even have a place to eat.

The army can provide the soldiers who participate in the garrison training with three meals that are enough to manage and manage, and Tianxia dares to guarantee that this is the only reason why these refugees are willing to join the army today. Accurately, these soldiers should be "professional" soldiers who work for money, not the compulsory conscription soldiers of the past.

Tianxia walked into the big canteen with the flow of recruits in gray-green military uniforms, which was a small flat building that was temporarily rebuilt, surrounded by a layer of frosted and matte light yellow floor tiles, and the surrounding walls were only recently painted with a new layer of oil-red wall base paint, and the environment looked fairly clean and not to make people lose their appetite.

Tianxia once heard that the cafeteria, which used to provide free food to the evacuees in the community, would only provide each evacuee with a maximum of a week's food, and then they had to find a job and find a way to solve it by themselves, so it is actually good to be able to find a place to eat now.

She waited in line in the long stream of people, and finally received the boxed lunch, she hurriedly found a remote corner, carefully opened it and took a look, she had to admit that the soldier had indeed eaten more abundantly than before. She can find a piece of braised fish in the warm white rice, a few pieces of marinated salted pork, and a palm-sized fried egg, which is tender and white, twice as large as the fried egg provided in the free cafeteria in the community.

Oh, and there's plenty of half-filling shredded white potatoes, bean sprouts, peas, corn, and beetroot hearts, and if she doesn't like it, she can choose from a variety of home-cooked dishes, and even some fast food from Zone 1 like burgers, fried chicken, fries, small pizzas, and the like. It seems that in order to stabilize the "morale" of the recruits and prevent the recruits from retreating because they have heard too many rumors, the commanders have put a lot of effort into food.

It's a pity that after watching how the white spiders eat their dear comrades, Tianxia only felt that the pickled salted pork in front of her was more like the thigh meat of the unlucky soldier, which made her completely lose her appetite, every time she picked up the pork, it was as if she was staring at the bloody thigh, damn it, this pork really looked like the bloody thigh.

She only flipped through the slices of meat a few times, then threw them down and concentrated on the white rice.

"Tianxia-san?" Tianxia raised his head, it was Liu Liu and her little milk dog, they were whispering to each other over the hearty meal, Liu Liu asked elegantly, "Don't you mind if I sit down?" ”

"Of course I don't mind, this is not my cafeteria," Tianxia frowned, "It's free." ”

Liu Liu's face flushed, of course she could hear that Tianxia was mocking the supermarket.

But there was no other place around, and she sat down with the others. At this moment, her face was no longer covered with the makeup she had worn this morning, and it seemed that she had finally learned to be smart, knowing that Instructor Luna seemed to be very unaccustomed to a woman like her, who prided herself on being exquisite.

"I didn't have to be like that, I just ......," she explained.

"Scared....... I know, I'm afraid, and who isn't afraid? Now I'm scared too," Tianxia looked at her with a smile as she stirred her own food, "I'm curious, do you still have the appetite to eat?" β€œ

"Of course," the girl who had been keeping a composed face staring at her, "my appetite is good. "Her name, if Tianxia remembers correctly, seems to be called...... Meroya, a little girl who pretends to be murderous, is very cute, and her food is ....... Uh, all I can say is that the appetite is amazing.

It's better not to discuss the amount of her food here, otherwise Tianxia suspects that he will probably choke to death by her words, "What about Senior Sister Liuliu?" ”

"The food is good," Liu Liuqiang laughed, "Everything is good here, but that monster is not reassuring, and I am always afraid that it will escape." ”

Of course you will be afraid, Tianxia thought lightly, it killed your brother, killed your most loyal fans, killed your admirers, killed your intention to find your father, how could you not be afraid of it. But Tianxia could feel that she was afraid of the power of the white spider, but she did not hate the white spider, and she was slightly different from the girl named Meroya beside her.

"I'm scared too," Tianxia echoed in, and after spending a lot of time with Ciri, she gradually learned how to go along with others, "To be honest, I always feel like they're playing with fire and setting themselves on fire." ”

Her words resonated with the cowardly boy, "Only dead monsters are not threatened, it will escape sooner or later, and it must be us recruits who will suffer at that time, where did these monsters come from, and somehow make a mess of our lives." ”

"I heard from an uncle that the government caused this incident," the other boy lowered his voice, as if to explain some shocking secret, "They must have done a lot of terrible experiments in the laboratory in the center of the capital, they studied genetic monsters, and those dozens of beams, which must be some kind of biochemical space-based weapon in the form of a virus newly developed by the Empire." ”

Liu Liu hurriedly asked him to shut his mouth in shock, and she asked in a low voice. "Who are you listening to?"

"It's not nonsense, it's an aunt, she has always believed that under that beam there is the highest biological virus research laboratory in the Federation, and the experiment is out of control and causes global chaos, and she said that only there is an antidote there, and if you want to change the status quo, you must go to the laboratory to get antibodies to the virus."

So? Tianxia almost believed it for a while, if she didn't know Ciri's identity, knew that the object of the Earth Federation's allegiance was Prince Parr and not other members of the Supreme Council, and was sure that the empire did not have a similar research project at all, probably she would have believed the words of that aunt, but she didn't know how many people would be deceived by this aunt's lie? There is an antidote in federal labs, hehe.

The high school student who had laughed at the coward sitting next to the coward couldn't help but retort, "The federal government won't be stupid enough to harm itself, they will put the laboratory near the hostile government, how can it be placed in the center of the capital." ”

"How do you know they're not that stupid? Fifty years ago, the former federal government was still reluctant to join the empire, the United Empire is so technologically advanced, but there are still many people in those foolish governments who want to rebel against the Supreme Council, and they have also jointly formed a terrorist armed group to intimidate the federal government, what are they not fools? I really don't know how those who were determined to resist the alien invasion would feel when they heard their descendants say such things, Tianxia said that it was better to remain silent.

The third, the proud high school boy who had discovered the secret of the cage, completely refuted their views, "I admit that the senior officials of the federal government are fools," he swore to write, "but I can guarantee that the end of the world is not caused by the federal government, and the Great Prophet has said that it is a conspiracy of evil gods." ”

The two boys shouted in unison, "Evil God??? ”

Even Liu Liu faintly sensed the slightest hint of something wrong, "Who is the Great Prophet?" ”

He didn't even notice what he was saying, "The Great Prophet was a great prophet who predicted early on that the end was coming, and he gave speeches every day in Central Fountain Park. ”

Liu Liu wanted to say something, but the boy on the other side couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did he say?" ”

"He said that the current situation is caused by the ignorance of the Supreme Council of the Empire, the Valian royal family has done nothing, the deputy speaker has murdered the virtuous, the great councillors always have a high-minded attitude towards the affairs of the empire, the teachings of the Galactic Mother are gradually being abandoned, the whole empire is in chaos, the eternal enemy of the Galactic Mother---- a nameless ancient god who cannot be looked at directly, has awakened, it is to punish us ordinary people who support the Supreme Council, so the divine punishment is given, the Great Prophet thinks......"

What kind of god would punish believers of a hostile god for being unfaithful to the teachings of a hostile god?

Moreover, "the Great Prophet believed......??? Tianxia pointed out, "I still think you caused this, enough is enough, don't talk nonsense during dinner." "This naΓ―ve little fool talks too much.

But this fool seemed to be unsatisfied, and his voice was much louder, which made Tianxia completely speechless, and she was determined to completely dissociate herself from these people.

"Do you know that metal pipe that appeared on the day of Doomsday?" The boy said.

"I've seen it," shouted an elegant woman holding a short-haired dog at the table, "and light, I saw a light coming out of that metal pipe, it was really bright, the sun wasn't as bright as it was at that time, and my family Didi and I were terrified, so we ran out with it, and now it is my only relative." "I don't know if it's as important as her parents.

"A lot of people have seen that metal tube with a silver ring around the star," added another twenty-seven- or eight-year-old young man with a sworn oath, "and the sign is beautiful." ”

"Isn't that pretty," cried the boy, who proudly claimed to have discovered the secret of the cage, "that is the sign of the evil gods, the ancient sleeping plagues, the terrible signs of the gods of twilight and death, as the Great Prophet said, and he knew five or six years ago that this would happen today." ”

A middle-aged soldier couldn't help but laugh, "Little friend, then he must be a wilted and bad old man, otherwise why haven't we heard anyone talk about it." ”

"No, he's a wise man," the proud high school student retorted, holding his head high, "and he saw through everything and prophesied that everything would start again, as long as we prayed sincerely." ”

If this is the case, then you should not join the army at all, but worship under the disciples of believers, and then go to fight the evil gods in your mouth, Tianxia, who was hiding on the side, secretly thought that going against the gods must be much more interesting than fighting with the white spiders, and killing the gods is not the turn of us ordinary people to do it.

"Let us pray sincerely," comforted Liu Liu, kindly, "and fight bravely, for Our Lady will only bless the brave." ”

"Sister Liu Liu's words make sense," a girl on the other side poked her head and echoed her words, she was a friend she had just met today. When watching the white spider eat the human corpse, they held hands and comforted each other, and this act of encouraging each other gave them the courage to face cruelty, and Liu Liu and her became good friends.

"Our Lady will bless us, we are all her people." The strange girl made a reverent salute, "May the Galactic Mother bless us." ”

Fifty years ago, it wasn't the Galactic Mother who blessed us, and Tianxia remembered the words, "May she be merciful," she casually echoed, then got up and went home.
