Chapter 361: New Life
The monkey was still squeaking, and after attracting Xiao Yun's attention, it finally stopped chirping, and then threw something round, about the size of a small orange, at Xiao Yun's feet. Xiao Yun squatted down, observed it, and found that it was probably a wild fruit.
Xiao Yun picked up the thing, wiped it casually, and then put it in his mouth. The taste is sweet and sour, and although the taste is much worse than those fruits specially cultivated by humans, it has an original fresh taste.
"Are you here to bring me fruit?" Xiao Yun said with a smile. The monkey scurried a few times on the ground, tentatively came to Xiao Yun's feet, and then grabbed Xiao Yun's trouser leg with one paw, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun with a pair of clear eyes, his eyes were full of pleading.
Xiao Yun sighed and walked towards the courtyard. The monkey crouched down on the railing and waited. A moment later, Xiao Yun came out with a biscuit, and the monkey let out a very happy chirp.
"Eat." Xiao Yun handed the biscuit to the monkey, and the monkey squatted on the railing and ate it, while Xiao Yun stood behind the railing, staring at the boundless darkness ahead.
Although there are still various emotions tumbling in my heart, my desire to die is light.
Xiao Yun has been standing here, looking into the distance in a daze. The monkey finished eating the biscuit and began to play, bouncing around Xiao Yun constantly, sometimes sweeping Xiao Yun's hair with its soft tail. Xiao Yun's mood gradually eased in this constant silence.
I don't know how long I stood here, but the boundless darkness in front of me suddenly changed a little. Suddenly, a soft light appeared in the sky, making this dark world suddenly add a little more brilliance. It is like a divine sword, and with just one sword, it can split this dark world.
The world in front of me suddenly began to change. It seemed that in this instant, everything was different. Xiao Yun smelled the unique fragrance of the plants and trees in the early summer morning, felt the gentle touch brought by the warm and humid air, and saw the somewhat thrilling and beautiful scenery of this world.
A round of red sun had already crossed the mountain peaks in the east, casting light on Xiao Yun's face. Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the soft sun, his eyes full of confusion. But after a while, Xiao Yun's vision became clear. Xiao Yun exhaled heavily, then turned around, looked at the monkey and said, "Monkey, thank you." ”
The monkey was still playing on its own, ignoring Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun smiled, turned around and returned to the courtyard.
Time goes on, life ...... It's also going on.
Xiao Yun simply ate some breakfast, and then fell asleep. This sleep lasted until night, and when it was dark, Xiao Yun moved a chair and put it in the open space in front of the courtyard, sitting there leisurely and comfortably like an old man enjoying the shade, and the monkey was still around Xiao Yun. Sometimes it disappears, but it always reappears, and each time it appears, it brings something to Xiao Yun, or a wild fruit, or the rhizome of some plant with dirt, or something that is simply unrecognizable. Xiao Yun would always accept these things, and then generously take out the biscuits and give them to him.
In this way, Xiao Yun lived a life of day and night, resting during the day, and sitting here at night facing the darkness and meditating quietly. Time passed day by day, in the mountains and forests, the leaves of those trees turned from emerald green to yellow, and then fell from the trees, the weeds under their feet also withered and died, the weather became cold day by day, but because of the existence of a micro-ecological maintenance system, Xiao Yun was still warm as spring.
As the weather got colder, the monkey brought Xiao Yun less and less, and eventually there was nothing left. Later, the monkey simply stayed with Xiao Yun and refused to leave. Xiao Yun's bento is an extra pet, and he will give it a little when he eats, and the rest of the time, Xiao Yun sits there thinking, and the monkey plays next to Xiao Yun.
These months have been peaceful. Except for the fact that the aircraft carrying supplies had come a few times, Xiao Yun had not been in contact with anyone from the outside world, nor had anyone from the outside world contact Xiao Yun. It seems that the world has forgotten Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun seems to have forgotten the whole world.
Xiao Yun had seen General Emak on TV and on the Internet. Since that statement, the self-government has been functioning as General Emmerk had said, and people have been living as General Emmerk had said -- people have chosen different lives to spend this last period, some have gone mad, drunk and drowsy every day, and some have begun to travel around the world, alone or in groups, flying to and from the beauties of the earth all day long in automatic aircraft -- in the past, Due to the implementation of unusually strict ecological protection policies, many places on the earth are off-limits and cannot be visited by ordinary people, but now, they can enjoy and enjoy them to their heart's content. Some people believe in religion and pin all their hearts and minds on the gods for spiritual stability, while others form various associations and indulge in various hobbies such as calligraphy, painting, and literature all day long.
The self-government has also kept its promise, where people have maximum freedom and will not interfere with any choice but a few restrictions.
The Civilization Guard was also formed in the midst of General Emmerk's busyness. Quite unexpectedly, the number of applicants for the Civilization Guard exceeded 500,000, but due to some reasons, General Emmerk finally selected 200,000 people to enter the Civilization Guard after many screenings. So these 200,000 people took a very different path and lived a completely different life.
The affairs of the Civilization Guard are often reported in the newspapers, so Xiao Yun can also understand the dynamics of the Civilization Guard in real time. Xiao Yun heard General Emmerk's impassioned speech at the inaugural meeting of the Guard, saw the daily training of the Guard, and sometimes saw the Guards soldiers driving spaceships around the earth to simulate operations.
This is an army that has never been seen before in the history of human civilization. The average age of the soldiers in this army is 190 years old, the average education is university, but the specialization is very diverse, and there are basically no military-related disciplines, which makes General Emek's training difficult, because these people have no concept of modern interstellar warfare before. General Emak had to start from the basics, patiently teaching them how to control the spacecraft, how to deal with various situations, how to cooperate, how to coordinate, how to distribute firepower and energy, etc. In fact, if it weren't for the fugitive government's military experts who drew up detailed training syllabuses for the Civilization Guard and regular remote training, the Civilization Guard would not have been able to operate even the ships until now - even though the ships left on Earth were old and far easier to operate than modern advanced ships.
War is a very professional thing, in the past human civilization, if you want to become a soldier, you have to receive at least more than fifteen years of professional training, and this is just an ordinary soldier on the spaceship, only after experiencing the actual spaceship battle, learning enough strategic and tactical skills can become the captain of a small spaceship. For General Emerke, it is clear that such a system is impossible.
General Emmerk only wanted that when the enemy arrived, the soldiers of the Civilization Guard would be able to pilot the spaceship, strictly carry out their orders without panic and rout, and be able to attack the enemy, and this was enough.
In the early days of the formation of the army, the most things were the most difficult and the progress was the most difficult, so General Emerke's hair turned gray day by day, but General Emerke's spirit was always strong. Xiao Yun felt that General Emmerk's spirit was a little abnormal, and that feeling was like ...... It's like burning your own life.
Xiao Yun originally wanted to persuade General Emek, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yun gave up this plan. Burn as much as you want while you still have life, and don't wait until your life is taken away by the enemy, even if you want to, you can't burn.
In fact, it is not only General Emek, but also himself?
When I get up every evening, I will always quietly have a strand of gray hair in the mirror, the wrinkles on my face are more and more, deeper and deeper, my eyes are getting haggard, and my body is far worse than before. But the daily thinking has never stopped, Xiao Yun ...... It is also burning its own vitality.
At this moment, a few months have passed since the fugitive government car in the earth, and the communication delay between the two sides is getting higher and higher, and it is now more and more difficult to browse the communities whose server architecture is in the fugitive fleet, so Xiao Yun has been going less recently, but he will still maintain the frequency of going every three or five days. Because Xiao Yun wants to know more about the dynamics of human civilization.
When Xiao Yun landed in the community today, he received a very bad news, which made Xiao Yun's mood heavy.
"There was a defection on the 3178 space island, a gang of five people was stopped by the police while robbing the supply team, the gang immediately fled, and in a desperate situation, the gang stole a civilian spaceship and left the fleet without authorization and fled into the vast space...... At present, the military has sent warships to search for it, please see our follow-up report ...... for more information" (to be continued. )
