Chapter 21: Honkai II: Me and Freedom (No. 21) 1
The original barbed wire fence was rolled up on top of it, two heavy machine guns were placed in each of the two sandbag machine gun emplacements on the left and right of the main entrance, and two watchtowers were erected in the town with observers and snipers stationed on them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info armored vehicles are rolling up smoke and dust at the gates of the town, and the warning net has covered almost five square kilometers of forest in a radius. This is the general command center of the "Secret Information" program, about fifty meters above the deep pit in the ruins of the "Longkiems" base, on the edge of the "Sword of Pathos", but the name "Sword of Pathos" is not an official name, but a code name for the Admiralty's operations. It's called "Cemetery", not literally, but a real cemetery. The "Longinus" base is nearly a kilometer behind the town, but the last orbital bombardment still destroyed the town.
It all started because of it.
The helicopter propeller rotated at high speed and rolled up the smoke and dust on the ground, and the ground commander in green overalls waved the reflective card in his hand to direct the helicopter to land on a flat ground. The engine was turned off, and the helicopter fell silent, the propellers were still spinning due to inertia, but the suspension ladder in the cabin had been pushed open, and several figures rushed out.
When Ye Zifeng came out of the helicopter, he looked not far from the clearing, where several "albatross" transport planes were neatly arranged on the edge of the clearing, looking as if they were asleep. The people from the Laurel Base had already arrived, and it seemed that they were a little late.
Walking behind Saber towards the outside of the clearing, the few remaining small buildings on the edge of the town had erected antennas, which seemed to have been selected as temporary communication stations, but Ye Zifeng's goal was not there, the central square of the town was set up as a command base, and more than a dozen khaki tents had been erected, and there were people in white uniforms shuttling back and forth between these tents, coming out of one tent and entering another.
Ye Zifeng raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was now ten o'clock in the morning, and there were still fifty minutes before the official start of the "secret information" plan. It seems that the preparations are almost done, but there are still several helicopters in the distance hoisting ammunition boxes and unloading.
Lifting the curtain of a tent, Ye Zifeng walked into the tent.
"That's your place." Saber patted Ye Zifeng's shoulder, pointed to an empty seat on the side, and whispered to Ye Zifeng.
Ye Zifeng didn't say anything and nodded, walked quickly to the position, put on the headphones, and opened the laptop in front of him.
"Welcome to the Sword of Sorrow, Commander." When the computer was turned on, a person walked from behind, and Ye Zifeng turned his head and a cold but familiar face appeared in front of him.
"Kanae?" Ye Zifeng said in surprise, "Why are you ......?"
"Why am I here?" Without waiting for Ye Zifeng to finish speaking, Kanae Kawasaki completed Ye Zifeng's question, "I'm a member of the action team, I'm going to carry out the mission in a minute." ”
"On a mission?" Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, "Is there nothing wrong with your body?" ”
"I've recovered, and I've been recuperating in the villa since I came back from space." Kanae Kawasaki shook her head gently, "Commander, please take care of your health, it will be good for you not to participate in this operation." ”
"I know." Ye Zifeng was a little gloomy, but immediately looked at the legendary Kanae again, "You call me Commander?" What do you mean? ”
"That." Kawasaki Kanae pointed to the identity tag on the table in front of Ye Zifeng, and Ye Zifeng looked in the direction of Kawasaki Kanae's finger.
"Mission Commander, Ye Zifeng."
"What is a mission commander? I remember that I came to make adjustments to the details of the mission. Ye Zifeng looked around, in his impression, this term refers to the position of directing front-line combatants to conduct operations through radio, Ye Zifeng was not surprised in any way, he did not dare to guarantee that he could do a good job.
"That's what it means, just make a suggestion." Kawasaki Kanae saw what Ye Zifeng was worried about, and smiled slightly, "We believe in you very much, so the choice you made must be right." ”
"Then you're overestimating me." Ye Zifeng smiled bitterly, entered the password according to the prompts of the sticker on the desktop, and then tore off the sticker and threw it into the trash can on the side, "It's better to act on your own intuition at a critical moment, the commander's tips are just for reference but some can't be followed." ”
Ye Zifeng called up the work interface and looked at the map of the "Stalingrad", I don't know why, this map always feels very familiar.
"Why?" Kanae Kawasaki asked suspiciously.
"Because he doesn't know what the combatant is up against, what would you do if there was a loaded 88mm howitzer in front of you, and the commander told you that you were safe to rush over?"
"If the commander on the other side is on the other side, this is an order, and of course the order must be followed." Kawasaki Kanae didn't understand the meaning of Ye Zifeng's words.
"So the rank of the commander is the same as that of the combatant, and he has no right to order you." Ye Zifeng perfected the conditions, "What would you do in this situation?" ”
Ye Zifeng asked again, and Kawasaki Kanae hesitated for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
"I might ...... I'll probably rush over it. ”
"It's rigid!" Ye Zifeng turned his head angrily, "Don't trust others so much, it is possible that the road on the left is the safest, it doesn't have to let you face cannonballs." ”
"The road on the left?" Kanae Kawasaki was confused, "Do you mean to run to the left when you are in danger?" ”
"Of course not." Ye Zifeng felt that he was a little broken, so he helplessly helped his forehead and stood up from his seat, "Let's be more blunt, but you have to write it down." ”
"Well, you say." Kanae Kawasaki stood up straight.
"When you encounter danger, judge for yourself and don't obey others." Ye Zifeng put his hands on Kawasaki Kanae's shoulders, and the girl, who was a head shorter than herself, shook, "The choice has to be chosen by yourself, not by looking at others." ”
"I won't plagiarize in exams."
"Forget it." Ye Zifeng waved his hand, sat back in his seat, and no longer paid attention to Kanae Kawasaki.
"Are you angry?" Kanae Kawasaki didn't realize what mistake she had made, but it seemed that Ye Zifeng was not in a good mood.
"Nope." Ye Zifeng still didn't give up persuading Kanae Kawasaki, but it seems that when I talk to her in the future, I have to express the meaning literally, "What I mean is that subjective consciousness can sometimes save lives." ”
Kawasaki Kanae showed a puzzled expression, Ye Zifeng thought about it and felt that his wording was still not explicit enough, and after thinking about it, he continued.
"Anyway, yes...... In danger, huh...... Choose for yourself how you should be, huh...... Escape. Don't you have a map? Look at the map and choose the best escape route, and choose it yourself. ”
"Isn't that a deserter?" Kawasaki Kanae was still a little confused, but she could feel that Ye Zifeng's words did not mean to harm herself.
Ye Zifeng is really a little angry, but it's useless to be angry now. Why haven't you found such a feature as Kanae Kawasaki before? Maybe I just gave the order to Kawasaki Kanae to carry it out before, and this situation would not have occurred without experiencing independent choice.
"After getting the goal, of course." Ye Zifeng flicked Kawasaki Kanae's forehead, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, pay attention to yourself, and only those who are flexible can survive on the battlefield." The purpose of killing the enemy is not to win, but to live, you understand? ”
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Kanae Kawasaki nodded.
"It's good if you can understand, but you have to really understand." Ye Zifeng sighed, sat back in front of the computer, and looked at the map on the computer again. It was an officer who walked over and saluted Ye Zifeng.
"Sir, there's an operational meeting at Command Station 1 in ten minutes."
"I see." Ye Zifeng nodded at the herald officer. The herald saluted again, and then walked away briskly.
"Okay, you go and prepare first, there are still ......" Ye Zifeng looked at his watch, "There are still forty-six minutes before the operation begins." ”
"I see, Commander." Kawasaki Kanae bowed to Ye Zifeng, "Thank you for your teachings, I will never forget it." ”
"Ah, it's not that serious." Ye Zifeng scratched the back of his head, he wouldn't be embarrassed, but it was the first time that someone took what he said as a teaching, and Ye Zifeng was indeed a little surprised.
Kawasaki Kanae smiled at Ye Zifeng and turned to leave, Ye Zifeng looked at his watch again, and then looked at the map on the computer. Closing the flip cover of the laptop, Ye Zifeng got up and left the tent.
Ye Zifeng will not admit that he is road blind, but sometimes Ye Zifeng has the same symptoms as road blindness. In fact, this is not to blame Ye Zifeng, if you want to blame the herald officer just now, what he said "A meeting will be held at the No. 1 command station in ten minutes", doesn't this mean that this is not the No. 1 command station. Ye Zifeng returned to the tent with the big Arabic numeral "1" written on their faces with a sad face, and sat back in the position he had just placed with a stomach.
Well, it's also my own fault, I just opened my watch when I came with Saber, and I omitted the tip above my head.
"Ye Zifeng, here." Saber sat at the long conference table and beckoned to Ye Zifeng, looking at Saber's position, he didn't seem to be the commander-in-chief of this operation.
Ye Zifeng gently came to Saber's side and sat down, waiting for the meeting to begin.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that this is tent No. 1, and I went around outside like a big fool, so I had better find it."
"That's right, it's not just about finding your way." Saber nodded approvingly, "You're like the 'big fool of Owari' in Saito Michizo's mouth." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it doesn't sound like a good thing." Ye Zifeng's face was full of helplessness. The name Saito Michizo can be heard as a Japanese name at the time, and the surname Saito is not common in Japan now, it should be a surname in ancient Japanese history, since it is mentioned, it should be a certain daimyo during the Warring States period of Japan. This daimyo named Michizo Saito said that he was "the great fool of Owari", so it means that he is not the daimyo of Owari. Ye Zifeng vaguely remembered that Owari's daimyo seemed to be called Oda Nobunaga. However, Ye Zifeng really didn't know much about the Warring States of Japan, and reasoned that it was not easy.
"Why did he say that Oda Nobunaga was a big fool? Are the two sides enemies? ”
"Oda Nobunaga is the son-in-law of Saito Michizo, and the title of big fool was said before Oda Nobunaga became his son-in-law." Saber explained in a whisper, "He's jealous of Oda Nobunaga's talent." However, this was indeed proven later, and Oda Nobunaga's success in Kamiro was indeed proved. ”
"Well, I don't understand." Ye Zifeng raised his hand in surrender, "Why don't we talk about the European Middle Ages or Asia Minor." ”
"Nope." Saber shook his head, "Say you want Napoleon or Louis XVI, but one of these two is miserable when he dies and the other is miserable after he dies, do you want to be the one?" ”
"If I could, I would like to be Louis XIV."
"The one who ruined the treasury?"
"I'm talking about Louis XIV in the early days." Ye Zifeng said angrily, "The rule of Louis XIV made France the most powerful country at that time. ”
"That's right." Saber nodded, "Then you'd better be a big fool of Owari." ”
The jump was a little fast, Ye Zifeng didn't react at once, and when Ye Zifeng reacted, the meeting had already begun.
A man stands in front of the map, his hands behind his back.
"Now let me introduce me, my name is Feng Fengxiang."
Just hearing this, Ye Zifeng's brain immediately became dazed, and he fell on the table with a bang and fainted.
Bang bang bang, bang......
The knock on the door was recalled in the empty corridor, Ye Kexin stood in front of the above vermilion security door and kept knocking on the door, the note in his hand had been turned into a paper ball, Ye Kexin's face showed a little anger.
"Open the door, I know you're inside." Ye Kexin knocked on both sides again, but still no one opened the door.
"Really!" Ye Kexin stepped harder, quickly pulled out the pistol on his waist, the muzzle of the gun went down at a forty-five degree angle, pulled the trigger and fired a few shots towards the lock of the security door, and kicked the security door open with the last kick.
"Hey, I said I've been knocking on the door for so long, why don't you open it!" Ye Kexin's first sentence when she entered the room was such an unceremonious question, "I'm short on time." ”
"Actually, I didn't lock the door." A girl's voice came from inside the house, Ye Kexin smiled slightly after hearing it, and walked into the hall without changing her shoes.
"I've come to see you, how do I know if you didn't lock the door." Ye Kexin shrugged his shoulders, "Since you're at home, why don't you show up." ”
"I'm taking a shower." The girl's helpless voice came from the bathroom, and Ye Kexin listened carefully that there was indeed a slight sound of water, "Don't come in." ”
The girl immediately said as if she was thinking about something until Ye Kexin: "Drink and drink snacks in the kitchen, if you want to eat, go get it yourself, and I'll finish washing it later." ”
"Are there any strawberries?"
"Yes, in the refrigerator."
"Thank you, your strawberries are the best." Ye Kexin took out a plate of washed strawberry and orange juice drinks from the refrigerator and returned to the living room, took off her coat, picked up the general magazine from the coffee table and read it.
After a while, the sound of water in the bathtub was heard in the bathroom, and then the bathroom door opened, and a girl wrapped in a white bath towel walked out. Holding a strawberry in his hand.
"Take a bath and eat strawberries?"
"I just like it." The identity of the girl is self-evident, "Say, what are you here for?" ”
"There's no purpose, come and see you, it's a friend anyway."
"I don't know you well." Strawberry's voice became cold, and after taking out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and drinking it all, he walked out of the kitchen, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with you?" ”
"You're not here for the Three Treasures Palace." Ye Kexin said jokingly.
"Please go."
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you." Ye Kexin smiled and waved her hand, "I do have something." ”
"I already knew." Strawberry did to Ye Kexin's side, "About Ye Zifeng?" ”
"Well, I heard about Ye Zifeng from Saber. How did you feel when you came into contact with him? The expression on Ye Kexin's face tended to be serious.
"Feel, it's stumbling on me." Strawberry frowned and thought for a moment, "It's strong, really, but it's not the kind of strong that it is in battle, otherwise it wouldn't have been hurt so much." ”
"And what do you mean?" Ye Kexin asked as if he was looking forward to it.
"Spirit, spirit is extremely powerful, but it's a bit inappropriate to force a word. Perseverance should be better. ”
"Whatever you want, you can say anything, in fact, I was relieved to hear your recovery." Ye Kexin smiled again, "The treatment course has been prepared, as long as the plan is over and you return to the Laurel Crown Base, you can start the treatment." ”
"But too strong an emotional impact will have a negative effect, do you want him to be in a coma for another two years?" Strawberry said calmly, Ye Kexin lowered his head and pondered.
As soon as Ye Zifeng was in a coma for two years, Ye Kexin felt a slight pain in her heart, and she followed the tips of the strawberry to strengthen her emotional impact step by step, but Ye Zifeng was like a black hole, whether it was true or not, she could devour it, or even get used to it. This made Ye Kexin anxious, but fortunately, Strawberry said that it was too early to draw conclusions.
"So what do I have to do?"
"It's nothing, this kind of thing, feelings can not be produced by drugs, nor can they be produced by electrical stimulation, it is a kind of spiritual sustenance from the inside out. Although the soul has a certain materialistic flavor, it has to be said that the chemical substances and physical phenomena emitted by human beings when they produce feelings are only add-ons to another thing, and even if these elements are artificially given, people will not produce feelings. "It's like applying an appropriate electrical current to the emotional center of the brain of a person who likes to eat dog meat, or injecting dopamine, and he will not become strongly disgusted by other people's eating dog meat." So, there is one thing that dominates the direction of feelings, and the most appropriate explanation is the soul. ”
