Chapter Fifty-Eight: The General

The military vehicle stopped in front of a building, and Ye Feng opened the door.

At the entrance of the building, there are more than a dozen steps, and there are two mighty stone lions standing on the left and right. Signs were hung on both sides of the gate, which were the First Army of the Luoyang Garrison and the Luoyang Military and Political Autonomous Committee.

There are still some traces left in the dismantled sign above the door, and it is faintly recognizable under the spotlight that it is a certain bank.

He recalled a passage he had read, "The tallest and most magnificent building in an ancient village must be a ancestral hall, and in a town where Christians gather, the most splendid and beautiful building must be a church." Because both the ancestral hall and the church are places where faith is stored. In today's cities, on the other hand, the most luxurious ones are usually banks. For many people, what is stored in the bank is their faith. ”

What is this place where the beliefs of the Sunshine Age are stored today?

The uniformed guards at the door saluted the two, and Ling Huyang replied seriously, and said with a smile as he walked inside: "It's very tiring to salute and salute in and out every day, but the general cares about these details." ”

Ye Feng nodded in agreement: "The army needs to strengthen discipline through a sense of ritual, which can effectively stimulate the inner sense of identity, mission and honor of officers and soldiers. ”

"Brother Ye also served as a soldier?"

"yes."

Ling Huyang pressed the elevator, "The general is waiting for you in the office." ”

Ye Feng glanced at his watch, ten twenty o'clock, what a workaholic.

Two details left a good impression on him, and he couldn't help but have some expectations for seeing this General Li Yan.

There are 27 floors of elevators, and Li Yan's office is on the top floor.

A staff officer walked out with a document in his hand, and saw Ling Huyang nodding, "The general is waiting for you." ”

Ling Huyang led Ye Feng to the innermost office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"General, Ye Feng brought."

"Welcome, welcome."

The office is large, with an area of more than 100 square meters, and it is estimated that it was originally the office of the president of the bank.

Li Yan bypassed the wide desk, stepped forward and shook Ye Feng's hand, his palm was strong and powerful.

Ye Feng noticed that he was wearing the rank of general, but the rank of general in this era was self-conferred, and it was only valid behind closed doors, so there was no need to care too much.

"Ah Yang, go and ask Xiao Zhao to make a cup of tea."

Ling Huyang answered, took the door and retreated.

"Sit down, Mr. Ye, do you smoke?"

Ye Fengdao thanked him and took the cigarette. The lord of a dignified city should not deliberately find himself in the middle of the night to send a poisonous cigarette.

Li Yan lit a cigarette and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ye is a strong person. ”

Sure enough, it was that meal that attracted attention, and the black market was also under his control.

"Yes."

"Level 3 Enhancer."

"Yes."

Li Yan leaned back on the sofa and adjusted a more comfortable posture, "I take the liberty of asking, what is Mr. Ye's intention?" ”

"I said passing by, I don't know if the general believes it?"

"Believe."

"Isn't the general afraid that I will be bad for you?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I am also a third-level strengthener. The strong have their own pride, and I don't think you need to lie. ”

The implication is that I don't need to be afraid of you on my turf.

Except for the core members of the Green Light Base, no one knew that there were higher-level enhancement potions. In the public perception, the third-level reinforcement person is already the existence of the top of the human race.

Ye Feng didn't ask him how he got the third-level strengthening potion, but he had some guesses in his heart.

Three years ago, a lieutenant colonel was ambushed by dark creatures while on a mission east of the river and was seriously wounded in order to cover his teammates.

His injuries were no longer able to move, and naturally it was impossible to return to the base for treatment.

In order to save the life of the combat hero, the base decided to promote him to colonel in the line of fire. According to the regulations, he will be given a Level 3 Enhancement Elixir.

A second lieutenant was ordered to go to Hedong with a letter of appointment and injections, but never returned. For this reason, the family of the second lieutenant was implicated and examined in isolation.

Subsequently, the tracing team found the bodies of the second lieutenant and the lieutenant colonel, respectively. Neither of them was injected with the tertiary drug, and the injection was not found at the scene.

The second lieutenant was finally vindicated, posthumously recognized as a martyr, and his family members were released. However, the whereabouts of the third-level enhancement potion are unknown.

This old headless case has finally come to an end today.

The report of the day clearly stated that both officers had died in the attack of the dark creatures, so even if they knew that the injection was in the hands of Li Yan, there was no reason for the base to be troubled.

The female secretary knocked on the door and came in with a tea tray.

"Xiao Zhao, just leave the kettle behind, don't let people come in and disturb you for a while."

"Okay, General."

Li Yan handed the teacup to Ye Feng, "Mr. Ye, what do you think of Luoyang City?" ”

"It's refreshing, the prosperity of Luoyang is breathtaking, and I have only seen such a prosperous atmosphere in the films left in the Sunshine Era."

Ye Feng was telling the truth. The Luguang base is essentially a large barracks, either soldiers or military families, and the refugee camp outside is certainly lively, after all, it is not as much like a city as Luoyang.

He praised him from the bottom of his heart: "General Li, you have saved many people. ”

On the way here, Ling Huyang gave him a general introduction to the situation in Luoyang.

The area of Luoyang City reached 153 square kilometers, and the circumference of the city wall exceeded 60 kilometers. With a population of 2 million, it is about twice as dense as the first-tier cities with the highest population density in the Sunshine Era.

It's breathtaking.

Li Yan picked up the teacup and blew the tea leaves, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Since Resident Evil, people have struggled in boundless darkness, and viruses, zombies, and dark creatures have taken our relatives and friends away from us every moment.

"Many people choose to end their lives in despair, and many even fall into the dark creatures.

"In the Dark Ages, what people needed most was security."

Ye Feng hesitated: "A sense of security? Isn't it hope? ”

Li Yan stood up and paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the street lamp like a swimming dragon, "Hope is ethereal, just a match in the hand of the little girl trembling in the cold wind, only a real sense of security, illuminating the lights of thousands of homes." ”

Ye Feng was thoughtful.

"At first, I didn't understand what made people feel safe. At that time, I was hiding all day long, and the sense of security was also a luxury for me.

"Later, I got the booster potion, won a few battles, gathered more and more people around me, and gradually held some territory.

"Later, my people and I established Luoyang City.

"Walking through the streets of the city and watching the endless stream of people, I finally understood.

"A sense of security comes from confidence in strength and a future that can be mastered."

Li Yan opened his arms as if facing the cheering crowd, "And I, I will give them all this." ”

Ye Feng didn't understand the difference between the future he said he could grasp and the hope, but he was still infected by his emotions.

However, it is not unheard of before that a survivor base of this magnitude has existed.

It's just that later......

Ye Feng had a feeling that he was not an empty demagoguery, and couldn't help but ask, "How does General Li plan to fulfill this promise?" ”

Li Yan smiled, "If you are willing to jump ship, we will complete this great cause together." Now it's inconvenient to say. ”

"Do you know where I'm from?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Ye Feng."
