At the same time, Beicheng, Tianhao Mansion.

The man took the wine from the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and slammed the thick curtain open.

"At present, Zhan Huan is still staying in Nanjing City, and it is estimated that he intends to take the opportunity of this factional struggle within the Gao family to support Gao Yuanyuan to come to power, and then completely bring the Gao family in Nanjing under the banner of the Zhan faction."

Suddenly, the bright afternoon sunlight refracted through the glass, reflecting a colorful light on the ground, which was particularly abrupt in the dim and dreary room.

In the corner, when he heard the word Zhanhuan, the black shadow curled up in the corner moved, and then said in a dumb voice: "Qilan, you know I don't care about this ...... at all."

Qi Lan was full of helplessness, his wrist shook slightly, and the red liquid crossed the wall of the transparent cup, almost breaking out of the cup.

"I know you're concerned about the little girl who talks about Shurun, but people can't be resurrected after death." Qilan hated that iron could not become steel, and said disdainfully: "What's more, even if you have an inch of Dan's heart to the bright moon, the bright moon prefers to shine on the ditch, why bother?" ”

Among the children of the powerful families in Beicheng, there is a gossip legend: the old man of the Zhan family has an adopted daughter who is held in the palm of his hand and loves and spoils, and what is even more exciting is that it is said that this adopted daughter has been chasing Zhan Huan for a long time, and is the default heir of the Zhan family - Zhan Huan's fiancée.

Flies and dogs, bullshit, these are just covered up by the seemingly pure white clouds, he has always heard of it, but he never expected that his good brother will be mixed with such a disgusting and despicable relationship.

Qi Lan glanced at the dark place in the corner, and saw that Yue Xiu was indifferent to this, so he had to sigh again.

It was only after he returned to Beicheng that he learned that the adopted daughter of the legendary old man Zhan was Tan Shurun, whom they met in Yucheng.

No wonder Tan Shurun would appear behind Zhan Huan, and even Zhan Meng's arrogant eldest lady would call her 'Sister Shurun' so enthusiastically, it was he who miscalculated and ignored this big gossip of the Zhan family.

This is nothing, isn't it just a wealthy family secret, but Yue Xiu actually remembered Tan Shurun, knowing that Tan Shurun was in the wilderness of Shihu Town, Nanjing City, on the day of the earthquake, after going out on a mission and encountering an emergency and missing, he was once decadent to this day.

In silence, Qilan took a deep breath and said: "Tan Shurun is dead, but your family, relatives and friends who care about you are still alive, you have been back for so long, how many times have you called your aunt, and you haven't said a word to them......"

Yue Xiu lowered his head and clasped his thighs with his hands, almost melting into the shadows of the dim corners.

“……”

Qi Lan was so angry that he took a deep breath again, his chest rose and fell violently, he clenched the foot of the red wine glass, and stepped in front of Yue Xiu in a few steps.

Raise your hand, flip it, and pour the remaining half of the glass of red wine on your head.

The sound of falling water is particularly clear in the empty and lonely room.

Qi Lan forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Yue Xiu! You give me a good soberness! ”

However, Yue Xiu was still motionless, Qi Lan's anger value broke the table, and as soon as he raised his hand, there was a crisp sound on the ground, and the goblet smashed against the wall, shattering in response.

Qi Lan turned around and stepped on the shards of glass all over the ground and walked out, just when he thought that today's conversation was in vain, he heard a familiar male voice behind him, hoarse and low, with a decisive decision.

"Qilan, the old man should be very worried about Nanjing City now, right?"

Qi Lan held the doorknob's hand for a moment, and asked nervously, "So what?" ”

……

Three months ago, Gao Qi, the head of the Nanjing Military Region, suddenly announced that he had found his long-lost youngest son, Gao Weilai.

Before everyone could react, Gao Qi even transferred some of the power at hand to Gao Weilai, seemingly completely ignoring the existence of his eldest son Gao Yuanyuan. The second young man of the Gao family, who was born out of nowhere, did not live up to the onlookers of the people who ate melons in the bases of the military region, and soon organized a reformist faction to fight against the big and young people of the Gao family in the base of the Nanjing Military Region.

The two heirs have come to this point, and the battle is in full swing and inextricable.

……

The red liquid slid down the ends of his hair, and beads of blood slammed to the ground, dripping and soaking up large swaths of the carpet.

The man hidden in the darkness slowly raised his head, his eyes that should have been radiant were overshadowed at this time, and he said resolutely: "Qilan, I am willing to go to Nanjing City and draw Gao Weilai into our camp." ”

almost crushed the steel doorknob in his hand, and Qi Lan was angry: "Yue Xiu! Are you crazy?! What is the city of Nanjing now? Is that what you can go casually?! Talking about Shurun is so precious baby? You have to die for her?! ”

Although the Nanjing Military Region has already blocked the relevant information from three months ago, and only declared that the strong light earthquake was a natural disaster, no one is a fool.

Yue Xiu sneered, as early as the day they took the transfer flight back to Beicheng from Qingcheng, along with all the information of the second young man of the Gao family, the document was put on the old man's desk at the same time, and there was a strange report that was shrouded in strong light in the field of Shihu Town in Nanjing City three months ago.

According to the report, brief flashes of bright light continued, and earthquakes and storms continued, leading to massive mudslides and flooding.

Then, with Shihu Town as the center, the entire city of Nanjing has undergone terrifying changes of different sizes, and it is said that there are many strange-looking monsters among them, attacking areas where there are still living people anytime and anywhere, and even the heavily guarded Nanjing Military Region has suffered a large-scale attack and was almost captured.

And the wilderness of Shihu Town is the place where Tan Shurun disappeared.

Yue Xiu muttered, as if he was talking to Qilan, and as if talking to himself: "I knew how dangerous that mission was, but Zhan Huan still took her with me." ”

On the day of the zombie virus outbreak, in the alley behind the bakery, he had seen with his own eyes how Zhan Huan had shot her in disregard of her life; He had also seen how indifferent Zhan Huan was when he heard of her death in the jeep.

"There are also Zhanhuan in the mission, I don't believe it, Zhanhuan, the youngest major general in Huaguo, can't even save a little girl."

I'm afraid I don't want to save people at all.

"I will find out the truth, if Zhan Huan sees death and does not save him, then he will be the next one to die."

In an instant, Qi Lan's heart beat wildly, and the coldness instantly invaded the internal organs from the limbs.

"Are you crazy? The old man almost issued a total blockade order to Nanjing City, you went, you didn't want to die at all! ”

The old man has been in power for so many years, so far, at the beginning of the zombie outbreak in Yucheng, in order to completely curb the spread of the zombie virus, and issued a comprehensive lockdown order, and now Nanjing City is about to become the second, Yue Xiu even has to run to the tiger's mouth, as his good brother, he said nothing and watched him die!

Yue Xiu shook his head slowly, and hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "I said I would protect her, but now as a man, promise, but it's like a joke......"

"The eldest son and grandson of the dignified Yue family died for a woman! That's a big joke!! Qi Lan roared angrily, his eyes were glowing with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yue Xiu!" I'm telling you, Nanjing, don't you want to take a step forward! Stay honest with me! ”

The depressed Yue Xiu listened to this, but his words changed, "Qilan, that independence agreement ......"

Yue Xiu's tone was obviously still gentle, but Qi Lan plainly noticed a trace of ruthlessness.

"As the appointed representative of Beicheng ZF, you know better than me what the independence agreement signed with Chen Qihe of Qingcheng two months ago means, and how much negative impact it will bring later......

Qi Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the floating light at the bottom of his eyes flickered slightly, he naturally knew that the treaty signed in humiliation under the threat of Chen Qihe launching a nuclear weapon to attack Beicheng represented that all affairs in Qingcheng City would be controlled by Chen Qihe alone in the future, and Beicheng ZF would no longer have the right to intervene in anything that happened.

"This is the result that many military district bases dream of, officially recognized by the Beicheng ZF, independent and self-reliant, self-reliant as king. Now that Chen Qihe has done it, other military regions will inevitably think of what is wrong and follow the example of the cat. But then, in the future, will Huaguo still be the Huaguo it once was? ”

Yue Xiu's indifferent questioning made Qi Lan speechless, and in the awkward silence, he only heard Yue Xiu continue: "The old man will not watch the major military regions break away from the control of Beicheng, and neither will the two old men of the Yue family and the Zhan family. That being the case, the old man now urgently needs someone to go to the city of Nanjing, showing the importance that the Beicheng ZF attaches to the change of power in the Nanjing Military Region. ”

Raising his eyes, his heart was secret, he naturally understood, and he had already discussed with the old man, this person's identity and background must be strong enough, strong enough, as soon as he appears, he can immediately knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

In the hearts of the leaders of the major military regions and survivor bases who want to follow the example of Chen Qihe in Qingcheng and occupy the mountain, they have left an indelible mark - the absolute power of Beicheng for thousands of years cannot be resisted.

"Moreover, after the independence of Qingcheng, those minerals in Qingcheng are no longer used by Beicheng, and now Nanjing City, which is the second largest rare mineral land in China, will want it whether it is the old man or the two old men of Vietnam and Zhan."

Qi Lan was surprised from the bottom of his heart, Yue Xiu had just analyzed the current situation, and every sentence was to the point.

How could he not know that the situation was grim now, and the zombie infestation was no longer the most worrying and frightening thing.

The expansion of desire is the first cancer of the last days.

Now, at the beginning of the internal factional struggle in the Nanjing Military Region, Zhanhuan, who was still in Nanjing City at that time, took the lead and reached an alliance with Gao Yuanyuan, which means that the Beicheng fighters chose Gao Yuanyuan, so the old man's choice must be Gao Weilai, the second young man of the Gao family, who is just starting out, menacing but with a shallow foundation.

But...... Be......

Qi Lan grabbed the handle fiercely, and after a long time, he slowly let go, turned around and leaned on the door panel at will, put his hands in his pockets, and from between his teeth, he gritted his teeth and jumped out four words: "Yue Xiu, these things have nothing to do with you, the position of the National Research Institute is reserved for you, you just go and report." ”

Three months ago, Nanjing's abnormal meteorological landscape and crustal movement were as dangerous as zombies. Yue Xiu was his friend, and he wouldn't watch Yue Xiu risk his life because of a woman who had died; At the same time, he will not send Yue Xiu to death for the benefit of the family.

"These are things that can be done by others. The one from the Qin family had just returned from beating the mainland a few days ago, and he could have been sent to Nanjing. ”

When the words fell, Yue Xiu unexpectedly did not refute anything, Qi Lan was condescending, looking at him strangely, and wanted to say something to persuade him to dispel those unreliable thoughts, but there was a knock outside the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and the guard respectfully placed the papers on the table, and then was shocked by the aura of the confrontation between the two people in the room, and quickly exited.

For a moment, the house was quiet again.

After a long time, Yue Xiu whispered to answer Qi Lan's confusion about the documents on the table.

"That is the old man's order, and this evening I will go to Nanjing, as the new commissioner of the prime minister, to investigate the cause of the death of the former commissioner Tan Shurun."

Yue Xiu looked at him, a good brother from childhood to adulthood, with a firm gaze.

Under the four eyes, Qi Lan suddenly understood something - Tan Shurun was dead, and it was easy to fabricate the identity of her former commissioner, so that Yue Xiu could not only enter Nanjing City openly, but even intervene in the investigation of the bright light that appeared in Nanjing City, and monitor and mediate the power struggle within the Nanjing Military Region base.

Everything is reasonable, and others have no right to shackle.

At this point, it goes without saying what Yue Xiu did silently when everyone thought that he was living with wine every day.

"Qilan ......" Yue Xiu was indifferent: "These things always have to be done by someone." ”

Qilan exploded, rushed forward, grabbed Yue Xiu's collar, and scolded angrily: "I don't need you to sacrifice!" ”

"Rather than hand it over to someone else, I'd better come. At the very least, I am worthy of your trust, and no matter what position you go in the future, I will always be the one who will stand behind you and support you. ”

Qi Lan was very moved, but Yue Xiu suddenly laughed, like the nerd with a childlike heart who gaged with him a long time ago.

"And! Don't think it's pretty! I don't love you, so I won't sacrifice for you. ”

Qi Lan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, yes, I'm afraid that because of talking about books and war, it will provoke the nerds who have never liked to get involved in the intrigue between politicians and are only willing to stay in the research room, and they are so concerned about today's political games.

Yue Xiu smiled very happily, but the hands hanging on his sides slowly clenched into fists, and even though his fingertips were embedded in flesh and blood, the pain was unavoidable.

"She's dead, but he's still alive."

Unwilling.
