Chapter 173: Your Majesty
Five days after the attack, my hands were almost fine, and York had even removed the bandages from his head. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But strangely, when he regained his health, he did not return to the city in the first place, but stayed here for a while. I had planned to go back to the city today, but for some reason, York advised me to wait. I repeatedly asked him why, but he never gave an accurate answer, only perfunctory that I would know for a while. Hearing his words, although I was skeptical, I didn't know why, and finally chose to believe him. So, instead of returning with the rescue team that day, as I had originally thought, I stayed at the medical station.
In fact, from the third day after the attack, those who had recovered more or less from the lightly wounded had begun to return. So far, less than a tenth of the total population that arrived at the health station on the night of the explosion remained. And most of the rest of the people are basically unable to move freely due to their injuries, and the only people who can move freely are basically the medical staff of the medical station itself, and other than that, only me and York are left. So, after I recovered, in addition to constantly wondering about York's explanation, I also felt quite embarrassed to see the strange eyes of the medical staff at the medical station in the corridor.
However, this embarrassment only lasted for more than half a day. Then, a sudden news shocked everyone here.
It was dusk, and I was standing at the door of the medical station, looking in the direction of Xicheng in a daze. At this time, York suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned my head to look at him, he made a gesture at me to go in. In addition to this, I noticed that he had a clear sense of loss on his face.
As I returned to the lobby of the medical station, I was surprised to hear a very familiar voice being recalled inside. At the same time, there were many people in the medical station, who didn't even do anything, just stood there and listened carefully. I was slightly stunned at this scene, paused, and then, like everyone else in front of me, began to turn my attention to the voice in the hall.
"In this attack by the Kazlans, we have suffered huge losses, ahem. Not only the serious loss of personnel and facilities, but also the high echelons of the empire also suffered heavy casualties, and the entire government agency was almost paralyzed. "When I heard the first words, I recognized that it was His Majesty Braun who spoke. It sounds like he's summing up what we've suffered this time. The first half of the sentence is okay, I have already thought of it, but the loss of the top management in the back surprised me quite a bit. But this was not the most surprising to me, but it was His Majesty's next words that surprised me even more, and he spoke with an unconcealed heaviness in his tone, "Among them, ahem, your beloved, ahem, Your Majesty Karabodna and Your Majesty Tanasri also fell in this attack, ahem, ahem. ”
Hearing this, many people, including me, became sad. Even His Majesty did not pay attention to the remembrance of the two Majestys who died. By the time I came to my senses, His Majesty was already talking about everything else.
"One more thing, ahem, is that the Kazlan attacks have not stopped, ahem. In the area of the previous explosion, ahem, there is an invisible force that continues to kill or affect the rescue team that enters the explosion area, ahem. After a pause, he continued, "Although we haven't figured out exactly what kind of mysterious force is at work. Ahem. But what is certain is that in all the ranges covered by the explosion, ahem, anyone will be affected. In mild cases, cough cough and physical discomfort, and in severe cases, death can occur in a short period of time. cough cough, however, in so many days, the sacrifice of so many people is not in vain, cough cough. At least we've discovered a rough pattern of that mysterious power. At this, he gasped heavily. Suddenly I felt very strange, remembering that His Majesty Braun was not like this before, why did his voice sound so strange today, was it because he was sick from overwork?
After taking two breaths, His Majesty Brann continued: "According to reports from all over the country, ahem, the closer those rescuers are to the center of the explosion, the more they will be affected by the invisible force. Basically, ahem, people who once reached within two hundred meters of the center of the explosion will die quickly within two or three hours. Within 200 to 1,500 meters, there will be obvious symptoms of vomiting and dizziness, which will become more and more severe over time, coughing, and even various other serious complications, and then die within a day or so. In the range of 1,500 to 4,000 meters, people who stay inside for a long time will have similar symptoms, and the results will be the same. People who have entered for a short time will also feel extremely unwell, cough cough, and cases of death have also begun to appear in the past two days. From 4 kilometers away to 10 kilometers, as long as you stay in it for a while, you will have similar symptoms. Ahem, as for the further range, although not everyone will experience similar symptoms, there are quite a few people affected. ”
His Majesty Braun was only halfway through what he had said, and I had no intention of continuing to listen. His words reminded me of York's reminder before Tammy left, and with a look of surprise, I turned my head to look at York, who was standing beside me. Seeing my gaze, York didn't speak, but shook his head gently at me, then pointed to his ear, motioning for me to continue listening.
"It's a great pity, ahem, that I've been affected by this mystical power myself." After hearing the news, I was surprised again, "Ahem, now my body has deteriorated, ahem, I know very well that with my current physical condition, ahem, there is no way to continue to lead this country forward for how long, ahem, cough cough (for the sake of narrative convenience and to avoid the suspicion of making up the number of words, the coughing sound is ignored below). ”
After a few more breaths, His Majesty's voice softened slightly, "But don't worry, I've already chosen the next ruler of the empire for you. However, in order to prevent him from being affected by mystical powers when he came to me, I did not let him come here. Then, a picture of a young man appeared on the screen, "This is Tedegg, my successor, who will lead the glorious Eun Empire on its way after I'm gone." ”
"I'll let him introduce himself later, and I'll talk about the next few things now. First, anyone still in the blast zone must be evacuated from the area as soon as the order is heard, and no further rescue teams will be allowed to enter, and the debris removal operation will be suspended immediately. In the absence of clarity as to whether this mysterious power is contagious, those who have ever entered the ruins must be immediately quarantined and forbidden from contact with anyone who has never entered the ruins. ”
Then His Majesty's voice became serious, "Those damned Kazrans have wreaked so much havoc on our country, even causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of their compatriots, plus the large number of those who have been affected by the mysterious forces. Brothers, what do you say we are going to do next? ”
"Revenge! Revenge! "At first, there were only one or two people in the hall shouting. But it didn't take long for everyone's voices to slowly converge into a deafening sound of revenge, including mine. However, in a place that no one else could see, York looked at the scene in front of him with a slightly disappointed look on his face.
"If I'm not mistaken, your answer must be revenge." A few minutes later, His Majesty's firm voice rang out again, "That's right, it's revenge." This is not only to avenge the Kazlan people for the harm they have done to us, but, according to my estimates, it is very likely that the source of the mysterious power that still affects us is within the damned Republic of Kazran. Perhaps by destroying the root cause completely, we will be able to break the influence of that mysterious force on us. ”
"Therefore, I have decided that the people of the original fleet will stay, and this time the operation will be carried out by those affected by mysterious forces. I have decided that I will use all the strategic power of the Empire on this trip, and it would be best to be able to break the influence of the mysterious power, but if there is no way to break it, then let the Kazlan people taste the last of our people's anger. ”
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! No sooner had His Majesty Braun finished his words than a deafening voice rang out again. In the sound of the earth-shattering, I vaguely heard his next words, "The transfer of personnel will be carried out immediately, and all eligible personnel will immediately assemble on the local aircraft to their warships, and our fleet will depart in three hours." For the glory of the Empire. ”
With that, His Majesty's voice was gone. What followed on the radio seemed to be the speech of the next Majesty, but no one cared what he was saying at this time. Almost everyone's emotions are dominated by revenge, even me. But it didn't take long for my mind to have what York had said before. This cleared my angry mind a little. Then, the brain that had regained its ability to think a little bit reminded me of what York had said before Tammy left, and the odd behavior that had prevented me from leaving here immediately.
Thinking of this, the previous anger was forgotten by me in the blink of an eye. I looked around and saw that York, who had been standing beside me, was nowhere to be seen. After looking carefully, I saw him sitting there in the corner of the hall, quietly watching everyone in the hall.
Walking up to York's side, he refused before me as if he knew what I was going to ask: "Don't ask me why, remind you that you are already the limit of what I can do." If I tell you more, it's not just me, but even you might be in danger. ”
Since York had already said so, I had no choice but to let go of my curiosity. Then he added, "And I hope you can forget about it and never mention it to anyone again." ”
I nodded silently, and then asked him for advice, "With the current situation, what should we do next?" ”
"I'll be back in town tomorrow." Unexpectedly, York's answer was very simple, "As long as you don't enter the blast zone, there will be no danger in the city for the time being." Moreover, if we continue to drag on, we will arouse the suspicion of others. Then he stood up, "Alright, there should be nothing to do next, you can rest." "When I was a little stunned, York left the place.
The next day, York, I, and a dozen other rehabilitators returned to the city with the rescue team's vehicle. It is worth noting that the familiar faces in the rescue team have been missing more than half of the familiar faces that I saw every day in the past few days. And the atmosphere of the whole team was also much duller than yesterday, except for the necessary conversations, everyone was silent, just quietly doing their own thing, except for one person.
That's right, that person is Tammy who left us the other day. At the first glance of York, Tammy couldn't wait to ask him about what he had to say. Hearing his question, many of the rescue team focused on York, and he repeated what Tammy had explained to me the day he left. Some were skeptical, but they believed it.
Then in the car, in a conversation with Tammy, we learned. After returning to the city a few days ago, he listened to York's words, and when he chose a job, he didn't even choose to clean up the rubble, but directly joined the team to build a temporary settlement. Today, because the rescue team happened to be short of people, and Tammy wanted to see us as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to apply to join.
When I returned to the city, I found that the removal of the ruins was strictly forbidden, and they even set up a blockade around the ruins overnight. In addition to the work of clearing the rubble, the reconstruction of the city became a top priority. As soon as we got out of the car, we just went to the place where we were taken to see it and then joined in the reconstruction work.
That night, before going to bed, the new Majesty Tedge briefed us on the situation at the front. Regrettably, needless to say finding the source of the mysterious power that His Majesty Braun spoke of, our fleet met their fleet without even seeing the land of the Republic of Kazran. I don't know how the Kazlans found out about this military operation, which was even hasty for us. As for the details of the battle after the two fleets met, His Majesty Tedge did not give us a detailed explanation, and it is said that soon after the battle began, the country lost contact with the forward fleet. But judging by the attitude of His Majesty Tedega, he was still optimistic about the outcome of the battle, and even I could hear the meaning of victory in the few words he recounted about the battle.
It is also worth noting that from the evening onwards, York's mood deteriorated significantly. He's been with me almost all day today, and I can't figure out what happened to make him feel like this. However, York did not answer my concern, but shook his head and said that he had no problem. Seeing this, I couldn't continue to ask, so I had to go with him......
