Chapter 52: A Long Talk
In front of the campfire, perhaps due to the atmosphere of the dark night in the wilderness, or perhaps because there was nothing to do at night, everyone began to talk about some of the past at a long time.
"Do you remember the Great Patriotic War that has been in Honkai for 3 years, when the Federal Heavy Industry Corps used air power to send more than 3,000 heavy mechs and countless soldiers to our territory, swallowing up our entire eastern coast overnight in the name of the peacekeeping garrison of the old days." Eric is now talking about a war four years ago, when Luo Wei was still struggling to survive in the wilderness, and he had not experienced or witnessed this war, he only knew that the night sky was blood-colored during that time, the earth trembled all the time, the sadistic wind carried the smell of gunpowder and blood wafted through the wilderness, and all the mutated creatures were rioting because of the terrible earthquake, and even the sky above his head seemed to collapse!
"There are many, many people who have died." Al's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered, "At that time, I was doing voluntary assistance on the front line, and the Radiance of the Republic had already issued a death order to 'keep limbs off the front', and the soldiers carried down were basically not intact, and many of them could not be rescued." ”
"There are too many strong generals who died in the first year of the Honkai, which led to the collapse of the Republic in the next few years, and once did not figure out the rules of the cube, nor did they have a complete set of military strengthening system, but the bunny cubs of the Federation are smart, they don't rely on any evolutionaries, and they don't get any bloodline genes, they just exchange for the most advanced materials and energy, vigorously develop the military industry, and build the most powerful armored troops. They all had to be killed by the soldiers who rolled down the chassis with the explosives and died together! As an early immigrant, Eric had no less affection for the Republic than for the native people, and at this time, the mention of such a tragic past, coupled with the sadness of drinking, this iron-clad tough guy actually choked up like this.
Eric rubbed his cloudy eyes, suddenly drank the wine from the bottle, and said proudly, "But so what! We are full of talents! I heard that when the pattern of war was about to collapse, there was an evolutionary captain in the radiance of the Republic, and I don't know what ability it was strengthened, it was called an unstoppable! What mechas, what tanks, beat them into scrap metal with their fists, scared the young master soldiers in the iron turtles to the point that their buttocks were urinating, and they were beaten for three months and howled wolves, hahaha, relieve their anger! Relieve gas! ”
"That legend, I think it's a false rumor." Ghost Hand snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "When it was 3 years ago, there were no particularly powerful evolutionaries in the territory, and even now, there are not many evolutionaries who can fight an armored force alone!" And even if there is, how can it be a captain? After the first year of the Honkai, the Hui of the Republic put his personal strength into the number one indicator of military rank, there is really such a character, he has become a general, and everyone knows it! But if you look at the three generals now, one is a vegetative man who is in a coma all day, one is an old man who does nothing, and the other is a Confucian general who only talks about the scriptures and Taoism. ”
Lu Ren, who had rich experience in warfare in the old era, also smiled and said: "These things will always be passed on in the war, and there were people in our mercenary army who claimed to have taken a squad to capture a company, which frightened us into a stunned moment, and thought it was Guan Gong's reincarnation, but later I learned that the company he said was a ragtag army of civilians who didn't have guns, hahaha." ”
Ghost Hand squinted his eyes and said coldly: "And you have also seen the final result of that war, no matter how fierce the battle was before and how evil it was spread, in the end, those dovish soft eggs of the Republic's Radiance were not compromised, and they signed the terms to allow the Federation to garrison troops on the territory and divide a part of the city for them to govern, otherwise which round will get Marquis Charles to manage Dawn City?" ”
"Hey, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it is really the loss of power and humiliation of the country! Regardless of whether that 'captain' is a legend or not, I really hope that the Glory of the Republic can produce a hawkish general who provokes the girder as soon as possible, and he can't go on like this soft egg anymore! Eric looked like a patriotic and hot-blooded young man at this time, he sighed sadly, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "By the way, boys, little girls, do you have the idea of joining the army?" To be honest, I really have such thoughts, but I can't do without the Dawn team now, and I'm not strong enough, but I think I'll put on that dark green military uniform one day, but I don't know if they'll take me as a bad old man, hahaha. ”
Ghost Hand sneered: "What's the point of joining the army? Anyway, it's all about fighting and killing, living freely in the wilderness, killing whoever you want, how good is that? Besides, the regular army of the Republic's Glory is not necessarily very powerful, and when I strengthen my bloodline, I don't care what kind of general he is. ”
Lu Ren also shook his head and said: "I don't know if the regular army is powerful, but just like the ghost hand said, I am used to freedom and I don't like to be managed." What's more, now the military headquarters of the Republic is all doves, the whole territory is mainly fortified, and the army is basically invested in construction and city defense, which is not suitable for me at all, and I don't want to stay in the city every day to farm and build walls. ”
"Glory to my Lord." Al drew a cross on his chest and said in a soft voice like a feather, "If there is a need, I will contribute." ”
"What about you?" Eric looked at the three "newcomers".
In the process of carrying out the cube mission, Luo Wei generally doesn't pay attention to questions that are not related to the mission, but this question is to hook up some memories in his heart, in the blockade of the sunset city, the heroic posture of those soldiers who blocked him as a "monster" with iron and blood resurfaced in his mind.
In the old days, when Luo Wei was still a student, he was very thin, coupled with his soft appearance, he was always bullied, so he always had a wish in his heart, that is, to be a soldier when he grew up, and use his iron body to tell those classmates who bullied him that he was no longer weak.
Now, Luo Wei is indeed no longer weak, but those who bullied him are no longer there, they are all buried in the historical dust of the Honkai Era, and the iron army that defended the country was also wiped out in the first year of the Honkai in order to protect the civilians.
Let's not talk about whether Luo Wei has the idea of joining the army, he doesn't know what kind of organization Gonghe Hui is now, at least from the perspective of the feudal policy of the feudal system, he doesn't have a good impression of it, not to mention that Luo Wei's only goal now is to find Luo Wei, and it is still a question whether Gonghe Zhihui can help him complete this matter.
After a moment of silence, Luo Wei pointed at Arnold and said, "Ask our captain." ”
"Huh?" Arnold was stunned for a long time, and then remembered that Luo Wei had pushed the captain's responsibility on him before, and in the face of everyone's gaze, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and after being embarrassed for a long time, he kicked the ball back quietly, "Hahaha, let's see it when the time comes, and ask for the opinions of the players." ”
"Okay, yo, I've been chatting for so long, it's not early, let's rest, recuperate, tomorrow may be a hard fight." Although Eric is an old man, he is more humane, he heard the perfunctory meaning in Arnold's mouth, and he also knew that it was not the time to think about this problem, because there was a cube task in front of him, and instead of thinking about the illusory problem of joining the army, it was better to think about how to deal with this mission first.
Everyone began to get ready to rest, but Luo Wei was still sitting in front of the campfire.
Luo Wei raised his head, looked at the darkening inky night sky, the stars were like the rings of history, changing in a myriad of ways, he pondered for a while, got up and extinguished the bonfire, and then came to a quiet place, found a rock and leaned on it, held the magnetic track sniper rifle in his arms, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
This night, Luo Wei dreamed of the country of the old era, the ancient civilization precipitated for thousands of years, the boundless brilliant magnificent star field, the vast and vast land, which was a pure land, a place that could never be returned, called "home"...
