Chapter 189: The Power of Hatred
Tang Yan suddenly thought of Niu Feng and Xiao Yong, and remembered the expressions on their faces when they waved shovels at their relatives, so strong.
"The people of Gem City stole the soil improvement technology in Vault 1019 that should have belonged to Kite City, and every Kite City person hated to suck Teng Chong's blood and eat Teng Chong's flesh. However, it is a pity that the guy who trapped the people of Kite City died in the power struggle of Gem City. ”
Teng Chong was the predecessor of Luo Zuoming's predecessor.
"Later, the people of Kite City transferred their hatred of Teng Chong to the people of Gem City, and the continuous friction and war made this hatred snowball."
Relying on this hatred, the people of Yuancheng are closely united to fight against the harsh living environment and fierce living corpses and beasts. This family has half a nest, and half of it will be given to the neighbors. When the house collapsed, the people around would spontaneously help repair it. People don't hate each other, they don't guard against each other, they put all their efforts into overcoming difficulties. ”
"The people of Yuancheng are not afraid of fighting with the sky, not afraid of fighting with the earth, and not afraid of fighting with people. They are the loveliest people in my eyes. ”
Speaking of the history of the struggle of the people of Yuancheng, Fei Xiang's voice is getting higher and higher, and there is pride and happiness in it that is difficult to hide.
Being able to stand tall in the absence of soil improvement technology, the spirit of hard work of the people of Yuancheng is indeed admirable.
"The Power of Hatred...... Hm. Tang Yan muttered.
He once again remembered that Niu Feng and Xiao Yong were indeed more mature than the teenagers in Gem City, and they were determined.
Fei Xiang slowed down and said: "If the hatred that connects the spiritual world of the people of Yuancheng is compared to a sapling, it is necessary to loosen the soil more and irrigate frequently, so that it can thrive." ”
At this time, Tang Yan looked at his metallic face and said, "The so-called loose soil, does it mean suffering?" By irrigation, I mean hatred......"
Fei Xiang clapped his hands in appreciation: "Suffering makes people grow, and hatred makes people powerful." ”
"So, you want me to be a person who gives suffering and hatred to the people of Kite City?"
He clapped his hands again, making a dull metal thump: "Like Johnson said, you're so smart." ”
Tang Yan said, "Don't you think it's cruel to the people of Yuancheng to do this? ”
Fei Xiang suddenly became very excited: "What do you know! What do people living in Gem City know! Under the sky of the wasteland, because of the imbalance of resources and the different environments, each land has its own survival rules for this land. If the people of Kite City were as disheartened and selfish as the people of Gem City, Kite City would probably cease to exist long ago and become a lost city. It is precisely because of the connection between the grinding of suffering and hatred that the entire system is kept from going to ruin. ”
“……”
Tang Yan didn't know what to say anymore, and it took a long time before he asked, "I'm curious, why did you choose me?" ”
Fei Xiang calmed down his emotions and said, "In the past, when Huang Lei was here, he would reveal the news to the bandit groups and marauders in the surrounding areas of Gem City, or recruit mercenaries to attack the convoys that traveled between Kite City and Jicheng. Now that your status in Gem City has surpassed Huang Lei, and you are still the actual controller of the Pandaren Legion, cooperating with you can greatly improve the efficiency of your operations. ”
Tang Yan squinted his eyes and said, "And I've already married the people of Kite City once. ”
He was referring to the war that took place after the Yuancheng Expeditionary Force occupied the Maxim's Canning Factory, not Niu Feng, Xiao Yong and others to defraud the regeneration potion.
Fei Xiang didn't know that he had already seen through the small movements of the people in Kite City.
"What I love most is dealing with smart people." Fei Xiang looked into his eyes and said, "We will be a good partner." ”
"But the people of Kite City will treat me as an enemy."
"Would you believe it if I told you that I could make them see you as an enemy and that they would see you as a friend?"
Tang Yan said: "I believe it! Say, what am I supposed to do. ”
Seeing that Tang Yan's concerns were finally dispelled, Fei Xiang rubbed his hands on his neck for a while, and with a sneering air jet, he took off the armor that covered his face.
What catches your eye is a face with a Chinese character, an open forehead, eyebrows and eyes like a sword, and a blazing gaze. There is no Wang Ming's cunning appearance, and there is no Luo Zuoming's gloomy wind.
"What? Surprised? ”
Tang Yan shook his head.
Fei Xiang stretched out his hand wrapped in carbon fiber material, turned from palm up to palm down, and slowly said a word.
“……”
“……”
“……”
Tang Yan's face changed and changed, changed and changed.
He looked at the city lord of Kite City in front of him, and his face full of righteousness didn't match what he said just now.
Tang Yan remembered the stories that were widely circulated in the peninsula area.
People say that Fei Xiang is a good city lord who shares weal and woe with the people of Yuancheng, the simplest example is that he walks on the street and sees people wearing worse clothes than him, he will exchange his clothes, and the things he eats daily are also wotou, pickles and other things, and many times he will eat randomly when the residents eat, and he will never be picky about the taste of the food.
The minds of the common people are actually very well understood------ not suffering from poverty and inequality.
Can such a leader not be loved by the public? It is a thousand times better than guys like Wang Ming and Chai Xiaonong.
From Fei Xiang's standpoint, everything he does is for the good of the people of Yuancheng, it is just, and it is bright.
However......
Tang Yan sighed heavily. He suddenly thought of Lao Xing, the niece and son-in-law of the boat boss, and remembered the words Lao Xing said before he died------ even if it is just a cockroach struggling in a dung pit, a wild dog wagging its tail and begging for food in the wilderness, and a villain who can never get on the stage, we also want to control our own destiny, even if in the end we only catch a corner of clothes.
Lao Xing tried to grasp his fate, but in the end, he caught death soaked in guilt.
There are still many people under the sky of the wasteland, who don't even have the courage or consciousness to struggle, but just keep crawling there, praying for justice from the powerful and powerful.
Is the justice of begging called justice?
If the justice that is given is not called justice, then what should the justice imposed be called, evil?
The dividing line between evil and justice is far less clear than black and white.
"Despicable." He looked at Fei Xiang and said.
Fei Xiang also looked at him and said, "The soldier is treacherous." You deliberately provoked those people in Jese, didn't you also have the idea of kidnapping the residents of Gem City to fight against foreign insults with you? It doesn't matter what you do in the wasteland, it's what you can do to keep those people alive. To put it simply, survival is justice. If you can't live to feel it, any beauty has no meaning. ”
Tang Yan spread his hands: "I can't talk about you." ”
Fei Xiang said: "Since this is the case, it is decided." ”
Tang Yan nodded, said "Okay", got up and walked outside, leaving the heavy armored car that was nearly three meters high.
Fei Xiang sat still, watching Tang Yan disappear into the back door of the carriage.
The soldier in charge of the guard task next to him saw Tang Yan come out alone, walked over and looked inside, and saw that their city lord was safe and sound, and the expression on his face eased a little.
Tang Yan returned to the parking place of the modified pickup truck, told Sanpao, General Wang and others what he would do tomorrow, and then returned to the simple house not far away and waited for the dawn.
The men stayed there for a few moments before they reacted.
Sanpao complained: "I thought that guy would blow Fei Xiang's head with one shot and kill all these people." Okay...... It's really a partner. I haven't fired a single shot on the road for a long time, and I'm really aggrieved. ”
Gao Kai looked at the armored car where Fei Xiang was living, and then looked at the simple room where Tang Yan was resting: "Why don't I believe what he said, God knows what PY deal those two people did." ”
General Wang was talking incoherently on the sidelines. "I don't know if he helped me ask Xiaohong about it." ”
………………
In the morning of the next day.
Kite City.
Tang Yan drove the vulture chariot slowly down the dilapidated long street, on the right side was a crumbling building, and not far from the left was a statue of a great man, whose head had disappeared, leaving only a body covered with bullet marks.
The sewage in the corner was blackened and emitted a foul smell, and beyond that was an open field with rows of planks on the ground, which looked like tombstones.
Behind the vulture chariot was General Wang, dressed in a Type 5-4 armored combat suit, followed by two modified pickup trucks, their tires clattering across the cracked and weedy road.
After driving forward for about 100 meters, a middle-aged man wearing P-50 power armor walked out of the right corner, beckoning to Tang Yan from a distance.
He immediately changed course and followed the armored car in which the middle-aged man was riding.
About half a kilometer to the east, a huge archway composed of steel plates, wooden piles, cement piers, and metal guardrails appeared in sight.
It is said that it is an archway, but it is better to say that it is a simple city tower.
Similar to the defense of Gem City, there are machine guns with black holes on the other side of the battlements, and there are small and medium-caliber artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, and patrol soldiers walk through the iron-paved corridors between metal guardrails.
Beneath the towers are defensive belts of trenches, military bunkers, pillboxes, and possibly mines in some sensitive areas.
What caught Tang Yan's attention were two slowly rotating smart sentry posts at the highest point of the city tower. Unlike the previous automatic sentry cannons, it is larger in size and equipped with four straight barrels diagonally upward.
It is clear that there are anti-aircraft missiles inside.
Jewel City, an automated anti-aircraft weapon like this, was not equipped with it, and did not expect it to appear in the smaller Kite City.
There is no doubt that this is the military support that Jeseong has given to Kite City, in order to fight against the modified helicopters in the hands of the Jewel City Guards and the Black Hand Mercenary Regiment.
"Here they come......"
The human voice from the front interrupted Tang Yan's thoughts, and when he looked down, he saw a few people walking out of the bunker next to the defensive belt, moving the barricade in the middle of the road to the side.
The armored car paused for a moment and continued to move forward, leaving Tang Yan and the others behind.
"Is this the black demon?" When General Wang looked at the soldiers in the trenches, those people were also looking at General Wang.
Of course, the demeanor is not very friendly, after all, this set of power armor once beat the Kite City Expeditionary Force to the ground, and it collapsed for a hundred miles.
"I didn't kill people...... Why do you look like you have the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife? The cook muttered quietly, a little unhappy about carrying the black pot for Deputy Head Tang.
The head of the plane glanced at the soldiers outside, picked up the car walkie-talkie and said, "What's the matter with these people?" Why does the expression on his face look like there is a sea of blood and revenge to be avenged? ”
The third young master, who was wearing CMC-300 power armor in the rear compartment, said: "Isn't that the battle more than a month ago? ”
The head of the plane said: "I don't think that's the reason, after all, we entered the city as guests this time. ”
Quack Quack ......
As the winch turned, the heavy iron door slowly opened.
After entering the city, the armored car stopped in an open area near the gate.
Tang Yan also got down from the vulture chariot and looked at the internal environment of the city tower.
Gem City is an expansion on the ruins of the Qindao City Stadium, and the Kite City is also built on the ruins of the old city, but unlike the Gem City, the main buildings of the Kite City are two commercial pedestrian streets.
The street is flanked by three storeys of buildings that stretch together to the end of the line.
Those who descend from both sides of the towers can reach the roofs of these buildings through the boardwalk, and in addition to the soldiers patrolling back and forth, the automatic sentry cannon can be seen at regular intervals.
There is an intersection between the two pedestrian streets in the north and south, which has now been blocked and converted into a side gate tower that is one size smaller than the main gate tower, equipped with not weak defensive firepower.
It is these two relatively intact pedestrian streets that have become a barrier for the people of Yuancheng to resist fierce beasts and living corpses, supporting the daily life of thousands of people.
After the middle-aged man wearing P-50 power armor got out of the car, Tang Yan left the head of the plane, the third young master and General Wang to take care of the vehicle, and walked forward with Gao Kai and the third artillery.
The middle-aged man's name is Jiang Heng, and he is the commander of the Yuancheng City Defense Army, and he is also the person sent by Fei Xiang to pick up Tang Yan.
Although he was tasked with receiving him, Jiang Heng's face never warmed up, as if the people of Yuancheng were all bitter and hateful.
A few people walked a short distance forward, and multiple colors quickly flashed on the other side of their eyes.
Tang Yan saw flowers, women and children in beautiful clothes.
They came over with a smile on their faces, brought him the flowers they were holding, and listened to them say thank you and welcome.
Flowers are a luxury in this world, which shows how much importance the people of Yuancheng attach to their visit.
At this moment, loud drums came from the building on the right.
The door opens.
Teenagers in ceremonial dresses with drums on their shoulders and trombones in their hands came out of it to greet the distinguished guests from Jewel City with music.
The clothes they wore were brightly colored, their skin was yellow, their bodies were thin, and their faces were covered with vegetables.
On the second floor of the building on the left, someone pushed open the window, pointed a camera at Tang Yan and pressed the shutter under the flowers.
The light flashed, and Tang Yan's face was frozen in the camera.
At this moment, the crowd surrounding him in front of him parted to both sides, and Fei Xiang led two people towards him amid flying red streamers and cheers.
"On behalf of the people of the city, I would like to welcome the arrival of Deputy Head Tang."
Tang Yan pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you", and then stretched out his right hand.
When the hands of the two people were clasped together, the second floor of the building on the left flashed again, and the camera recorded the friendly actions of the two people.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
