Until this moment, Huang Quan still has a feeling of unreality, not knowing whether the world in front of him is real or false.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Jia sighed and said, "The dream still has an ending." ”

Huang Quan was terrified, his heartbeat almost stopped, that dream did have a follow-up, and it also had an ending. It's just that the ending is too weird, so he subconsciously wants to forget.

In the ending, it is a dead and bleak world, full of thick fog, faintly visible everywhere broken walls, trees separated from each other, growing alone.

The trunk of the tree was twisted and eerie, and there was not a single leaf, as if there were countless painful souls struggling and screaming inside.

Huang Quan walked in this world, not knowing the passage of time, forgetting where he came from, and not seeing the end. Fortunately, he is not alone, there is a companion by his side, and his steady and rhythmic steps are his spiritual pillars.

But despite hearing the footsteps, Huang Quan didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that when he looked over, he would see not the same kind, but a monster ready to devour him. Even, he was more afraid of seeing nothing.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of loneliness.

After repeating this ending several times, Huang Quan finally mustered up the courage once, turned his head to look at each other, and saw ......

Yu Jia.

Yu Jia appeared beside Huang Quan at some point and walked with him a little behind. This is exactly the position in Huang Quan's dream, when Huang Quan turned his head, he saw that she was also looking at himself.

At this moment, Huang Quan was a little difficult to distinguish, whether it was in a dream or the real world.

Why is it such a stranger who meets by chance in a strange world and a strange journey.

She seemed to see through Huang Quan's thoughts, quietly reached out and held Huang Quan's hand, and said, "This is different from a dream, so it's not a dream now." ”

It was true that there was no such palm-shaking in the dream, but the indescribable tremor in Huang Quan's heart became more obvious, and for the first time in his life, he had the idea of giving in to the fear of the unknown.

It's all so weird, too weird to imagine.

"You have the same dream?" Huang Quan asked.

"Yes."

"So, do you know who I am? Where am I from? ”

Yu Jia shook her head, "I was sure when I saw you that those dreams that have plagued me since I was a child turned out to be true. As for who you are or where you come from, I don't know. All I know is that what I see in my dreams is you, and you have seen me in my dreams. ”

Huang Quan didn't speak, it all came so suddenly that even he couldn't accept it for a while. Prophecy or something, in the age of the Empire, was not nothing, on the contrary, it was a profound knowledge in the field of philosophy.

In the field of science, hallucinatory memory and delusional memory have their own theories, but no matter which one, Huang Quan can't settle down.

"Keep walking, we still have a lot of places to see." Yu Jia said.

Huang Quan silently followed.

Passing the chariot factory and training ground, Yu Jia turned a corner and walked along the side street. On the side of the tank factory, there is also a large open space, with a row of garages built on the edge, and several refueling facilities can be seen.

"This is a parking lot for vehicles, which is used to store combat vehicles temporarily."

"There is an air defense position, where anti-aircraft artillery and missiles are combined, and with special sounding radars, it can directly attack targets on high-altitude orbits."

After coming to this world for so long, Huang Quan finally heard a word related to the interstellar age.

The two of them walked along the way, and saw the canteen, the spare parts factory, the small arms factory, the ammunition factory, the smelting workshop, the battle armor assembly workshop, the auditorium, the theater, the gymnasium, and even a well-equipped residential area that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

All Yellow Springs saw was a fully functional, self-sufficient militarized town. If there were enough food reserves, the fortress could theoretically last for decades in the midst of war.

Huang Quan once stomped on the ground with all his strength, and through the seismic wave, he knew that there was still a vast space underground. The entire underside of the fortress has been almost hollowed out, and it is not known what is hidden inside.

When the two of them were standing at an intersection, there was finally a light ahead. Although dim, it adds life to this dead and silent world.

Yu Jia stared at the lights in the distance and said, "That's where the current members of the shelter live, you saw it right, it's just a small place. Because we only have so many people now, we just need such a small place. ”

From the range of the lights, the front was only the size of a block, about the size of a tank factory. No matter how densely populated the people in the shelter are, there are not many people in this place, and more than 1,000 people are about the same.

More than ninety percent of the land inside the fortress is empty, and the place where there is light is only a small corner.

"Do you understand now? Why do our fighters look lax in military discipline? ”

"I'm not surprised that they're undisciplined. But to make it clear, I still don't understand. ”

In such an environment, survival is the first priority of human beings, and it is an unavoidable fact that the strong are respected. Order, law, and military discipline can be set aside.

The protection of civilians is a product of a stable society, and civilians have always been victims in turbulent war years. In the rainforest world, it's no different.

On the contrary, the Sanctuary army still maintained a minimum of military discipline, and it was not even worse than the army of the Imperial Era on the battlefield, which surprised Huang Quan.

Yu Jia saw that Huang Quan really didn't understand, so he said: "The consul said that now everyone, every reasonable person, is the most valuable wealth and the cornerstone of our existence. So the strictest laws were established in the sanctuary, and no one was allowed to oppress his kind. If the people of the settlement pass the observation period and enter the shelter, then they will have the same status, the same rights as us, and the warriors will no longer be able to treat them as they did last night. ”

Huang Quan listened quietly, still not understanding. If it is really as Yu Jia said, then the people in the shelter should be very welcoming to the arrival of the settlers, but from their attitudes, there is no trace of kindness.

Only Yu Jia was different, but Huang Quan now knew that it was only because of the common dream and respect for his personal strength.

Yu Jia continued: "You may wonder why we are so indifferent to the return of the Lost People of the Settlement. This has to start with the history of the settlement, and it will be a long story, so let's go over there. ”

In the corner of the lighting area, there is a small tin hall, which is actually a water bar. Standing behind the bar was not a waiter, but a warrior in a combat suit, whom Huang Quan had seen on the battlefield before.

Seeing Yu Jia arrive, several soldiers in front of the bar quickly got up and saluted, and then picked up a drink and quickly flashed. Before leaving, their eyes looked at Huang Quan a little strangely, there was no envy, only sympathy.

Yu Jia knocked on the bar, and the soldiers inside said that they knew, and quickly brought out two drinks and brought them over.

Huang Quan's pupils flashed with light, and the ingredients were clearly detected, this drink was the product of several spirits mixed together, and judging from the composition of the two glasses, the ratio was not so strict.

He took a slight sip, and felt that the tip of his tongue was slightly spicy, and the alcohol content was almost over seventy.

Huang Quan was not used to drinking early in the morning, but Yu Jia took a big sip, and half of the cup was empty.

Huang Quan looked at her and asked, "Are they afraid of you?" ”

"You can't beat me, you can't drink me, of course you'll be afraid." Yu Jia's answer was succinct and clear.

Huang Quan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't drink you either." ”

Yu Jia heard the implicit meaning in the words: "Do you think you can beat me?" ”

The warrior's eyes widened behind the bar, looking like he was watching a good show, and his eyes glancing at Huang Quan were more like looking at a dead man. However, he didn't expect that Yu Jia actually just spit out and said, "Then even if I can't beat you." ”

The warrior's eyes froze.

"Concession." Huang Quan is really welcome.

Yu Jia took another sip and drank all the wine in the cup. The soldier behind the bar already knew how much she was drinking, and handed over a new glass as soon as possible.

Yu Jia played with the wine glass, didn't drink it, stared at the liquid swirling in the glass, and said slowly: "The real reason why the first batch of settlers left the shelter back then was because of ...... Despair. ”
