Chapter Seventy-Seven: Parting

A certain earth is just one of thousands of parallel worlds.

The Earth is unique because it is the human planet on which we grew up.

Africa, Cape of Good Hope, the end of the earth is called the end of the world, because there is no road ahead. At the top of the coast, Daddy Oak is looking out to sea. The tide is rough tonight, like the mood of Oak Daddy.

It's been two years since the last time Herne was driven into alternate space. In the past two years, many historical events have taken place on the mainland, and in general, these are two extraordinary years in the history of world development.

Now, the zombies have almost achieved an absolute victory over the nemesis.

In other words, even if Uyin led the living Monteiro people back to this earth at this time, they would no longer have an advantage. Sometimes the fighter plane is fleeting, and now a full two years have passed.

In the past two years, Oak Daddy has paid a lot.

The defeat of the nemesis announced that the zombie race has achieved hegemony on the earth, and then the zombie race will assimilate all the humans on the earth, and then achieve the complete unification of the race...... This is not difficult, human beings have reached the end of the road, the development of history, human beings have completed 12,000 years with a sense of mission, and the remaining road will be replaced by human evolutionary products ---- zombies!

Needless to say, Daddy Oak looked at the sea tonight, but what he was thinking about was not directly related to his career.

The imprint left in Wang Qiang's blood disappeared...... Looks like the human lad is still dead. Daddy Oak muttered to himself.

Daddy Oak reached out and stroked the mask on his face, thoughtful.

Wang Qiang had disappeared from this dimension for a long time, and now the mark had disappeared, proving that he was still alive before...... He had almost copied his abilities, and there should be nothing on the planet that could kill him except for them...... It seems that Wang Qiang, the unlucky guy, was still found by someone sent by Wu Xinyin.

Thinking of this, Daddy Oak couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

If it's okay to kill Wang Qiang kid directly, if someone is greedy and wants to get my ability sequence from him for themselves, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid there will be some small accidents.

……

Shenzhou Continent, Northern Base.

Today's northern base is thriving, in the past two years, the chief Shangguan Xuanyu has made three moves, including the Kyoto settlement, the Hebei settlement and the Sanhe settlement, the total population under his rule exceeds 6 million, and the regular army is as many as 400,000, which is definitely the overlord of the north.

In order to compete for the vast land, the Northern Base Corps and the Ring Island Independent Army fought several battles in the Tianjin area, and finally won a decisive victory, forcing the Ring Island Army to withdraw from the north.

The current northern base is already the era when Shangguan Xuanyu is the master, except for those old guys who reminisce about the past, there are few people who mention someone without interest.

Tonight, the atmosphere at the northern base was a little solemn.

The Northern Military Headquarters, the vast military headquarters and the square were temporarily converted into a mourning hall. In the mourning hall, white silk fluttering, yellow paper flying, and a group of high-ranking military officials in white clothes and white robes wearing linen and filial piety are standing in the square.

In the main hall of the military headquarters, there was a coffin, and in the Nanmu coffin, Wang Erye was lying peacefully, as if he was asleep.

On the futon not far from the coffin, Wang Wang was kneeling, with a numb face in a daze.

Not far behind Wang Wang, a delicate young woman dressed in linen and filial piety was holding the baby and kneeling with Wang Wang.

Wang Wang knelt like this, and no one in the hall dared to make a sound, not even the baby.

"The chief is here."

"Good guy!"

There was a voice in the square, and a group of guards in fresh clothes and angry horses opened the way, and Shangguan Xuanyu came flutteringly.

Letting the guards wait outside the door, Shangguan Xuanyu stepped into the hall. In the hall, an adjutant stepped forward and took Shangguan Xuanyu's long fur.

"How long has Commander Wang been kneeling?" Shangguan Xuanyu opened his mouth and asked Wang Wang's adjutant in a low voice.

"It's been more than ten hours since the morning." The adjutant replied.

Shangguan Xuanyu looked at the mourning hall and sighed: "You bring your younger brother and sister down, you have made a woman miserable like this, I will persuade him." ”

The adjutant nodded, and several female officials came up, almost half-coaxing, to take Wang Wang's wife and children away.

Two years is a long time, and even Wang Wang has started a family.

Shangguan Xuanyu came to the spirit, took a long incense stick, lit it, and chatted to pay tribute. Then, Shangguan Xuanyu also took the yellow paper and knelt beside Wang Wang, ready to burn paper for Wang Erye.

Shangguan Xuanyugui is the commander-in-chief, the number one person in the northern base, and his status is respected, so he doesn't need to kneel to anyone. But in terms of seniority, Second Master Wang is dozens of years older than Shangguan Xuanyu, and his seniority is higher, so this kneeling is also deserved.

However, Shangguan Xuanyu didn't have time to kneel down, and Wang Wang spoke.

"Chief, you can't kneel in that position."

Shangguan Xuanyu was stunned for a moment, and his half-bowed body finally did not kneel.

The futon under his feet is out of position, closer to the coffin than any futon, when it is the position of the leader, Shangguan Xuanyu is very puzzled, if he doesn't kneel here, where do he kneel?

At this time, Wang Wang spoke: "That position is reserved for Brother Qiang, you can't kneel." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Xuanyu's face instantly turned white.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wang continued to speak: "Now the base is up to you, and we are up to you in everything else, but after the old man's death, you can't fight for that position!" ”

As soon as Wang Wang finished speaking, Shangguan Xuanyu was furious, and as soon as he raised the yellow paper in his hand, he walked out of the hall angrily.

"Well, chief, where are you going?" Duan Feng, who was delicate on all sides, came to the door wearing linen and filial piety, and happened to meet Shangguan Xuanyu.

Shangguan Xuanyu turned his head and left, ignoring even Duan Feng.

"What's going on?" Duan Feng looked at Shangguan Xuanyu's figure leaving angrily, and the second monk was a little confused.

"Lao Wang, are you having trouble with Chief Shangguan again? Hey, didn't I say you, old man's first seven miles, what are you and people called? Besides, Shangguan Xuanyu is now the chief minister, and he has a big temper! Duan Feng knelt on the futon behind Wang Wang's side and opened his mouth to persuade.

Wang Wang said coldly: "Uncle is dead, I have figured out many things. ”

Duan Feng picked up the yellow paper and put it in the brazier, and asked, "What do you want to understand again?" ”

Wang Wang pondered for a moment before he spoke: "In the fifty years of life, many things cannot be settled. ”

As soon as Duan Feng heard this, his face changed: "Lao Wang, don't think about it." ”

Wang Wang shook his head and diverted the topic: "Duan Feng, do you have any eyebrows about the things I asked you to investigate?" ”

Duan Feng currently controls some of the intelligence resources of the northern base and belongs to the senior head of the intelligence department.

"The time is too rushed, there is no eyebrow, and we have to wait." Duan Feng lowered his voice and said, "Lao Wang, you can't just suspect these things. ”

Wang Wang's eyes were cold and his tone was silent: "My uncle is in good health, it is impossible for him to die suddenly for no reason, if there is no strange thing about this matter, I won't believe it if he is killed." ”

Duan Feng muttered, "But Chen Haonan didn't say it himself...... It is said that Wang Erye took genetic drugs in his early years and damaged his body, and he did not pay attention to recuperation over the years, so he died of physical failure?

Wang Wang sneered: "Who is Chen Haonan?" That's a guy with a super IQ! In front of Shangguan Xuanyu, do you think he will tell the truth? All he said was nonsense. ”

Duan Feng sighed in his heart.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Duan Feng spoke: "Lao Wang, if you suspect this, shouldn't you talk to Xiao Yuhan in private?" ”

"Xiao Yuhan? I don't trust him! Wang Wang said.

"Why? Do you have a personal vendetta with Lao Xiao? Duan Fengqi said.

"There is no personal vendetta, but before Brother Qiang disappeared, he didn't have time to promote him, but Shangguan Xuanyu promised him military power, and in the past two years, he and Shangguan Xuanyu have been too close...... At the end of the day, I don't believe him. Wang Wang said lightly.

Duan Feng slapped his thigh and exclaimed bitterly: "Brother Lai Qiang, I don't know where Brother Qiang died, and all the brothers have to deviate from each other, and even the old man died in vain." ”

At this time, there was a singing voice outside the main hall: "Miss Xiao Jingya has arrived." ”

Wang Wang and Duan Feng were both from the same province, and they looked at the hall together. Wang Wang, who had been kneeling for a day, also got up from the ground, but because he knelt for too long, he almost didn't stand firm.

Xiao Jingya is Wang Qiang's woman, and Brother Qiang is Wang Wang's eldest brother. Now that Brother Qiang is not at home, Xiao Jingya represents Wang Qiang to a certain extent.

"Sister-in-law, are you here?" Wang Wang said.

Xiao Jingya, who was dressed in plain clothes and did not apply powder, forcibly saluted the king, and then said: "Wang Wang, the festival is changing, I will come to see Uncle Wang." ”

The tone was light, but the feelings were profound, only Xiao Jingya would call Wang Erye like this, and Wang Wang, who was inadvertently touched and sad, burst into tears again.

Since the end of the world, this is the thirtieth year, a full thirty years.

In the dark period when the end of the world just came, Wang Wang's parents died in the mouths of zombies, it was Wang Erye who brought Wang Wang up, without Wang Erye's careful care, there would be no Wang Wang today.

Xiao Jingya's Uncle Wang made Wang Wang's heart full of emotion, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Wang Wang was crying so much, how could Xiao Jingya not be sentimental in her heart?

Wang Qiang has been missing for two years!

In the past two years, Xiao Jingya has had a more and more difficult time.

Shangguan Xuanyu, who grabbed power, was more wary of himself than anyone else, so he was always excluded from the center of power, and he had to be careful of the stumbling blocks of gangsters from time to time.

Especially recently, after Wang Qiang's influence among middle- and lower-level officers has faded and Shangguan Xuanyu's reputation has become increasingly prosperous, Xiao Jingya's hard life has come.

At the behest of some people, someone in the northern base actually jumped out and asked to remove the lord's mansion and expel Xiao Jingya from the lord's mansion!

These people's rhetoric is very simple, what do they say Now that the northern base has a real chief, there is no need for a lord at all, and there is no lord in the lord's mansion at all, except for Xiao Jingya, a woman.

At that time, the lethality of these discussions was very great, and many of the newly joined the settlement almost drove Xiao Jingya to a desperate situation in order to show loyalty to Shangguan Xuanyu.

Now Xiao Jingya, apart from guarding Wang Qiang's increasingly empty glory, what else is there?

It was at this difficult moment that Wang Erye, who had never spoken much on the affairs of the base, stood up.

It is impossible for Xiao Jingya to forget Second Master Wang's help.

On that day, when the military department was having a meeting, Wang Erye untied the treasure knife on his waist in front of everyone, threw it directly on the table, and then said: "Don't forget to dig wells in draft, and don't forget to plant trees in the shade." How do we guys start the stove, we have to have a number in our hearts. I'll leave the words here for an old man today, the sky is high and the earth is wide in the north, you can toss as much as you want, who wants to get along with Xiao Jingya, ask Lao Tzu's knife. ”

At that time, many heroes who had recently joined the northern base had not heard of Wang Erye's prestige, so Wang Erye's words did not really deter some outlaws.

So, for the first time, there was blood in the conference room.

Second Master Wang killed the three most screaming guys with his bare hands, and Wang Wang almost put the knife on Shangguan Xuanyu's neck.

In the end, it was Shangguan Xuanyu who urgently stopped it, so he didn't let the chaos develop further.

However, everyone understands that the top level of the northern base has actually deviated from Germany.

……

Xiao Jingya picked up the long incense, lit it on the bright candle, and then knelt down in front of the coffin, not getting up for a long time.

"Uncle Wang, I've come to see you! ......"Xiao Jingya couldn't stop crying and cried.

After that big fight, Xiao Jingya kept her safe place, but soon after, Second Master Wang died and went inexplicably.

After worshipping the deceased, Xiao Jingya put away her tears, stood up from the ground, and came to Wang Wang. Xiao Jingya tried to control her emotions and wanted to say something to Wang Wang.

But in the end, it was Wang Wang who spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, you put a hundred hearts. I'll give you a promise today, as long as I live for one day, no one will dare to do anything to you in this base. Whoever wants to embarrass you, ask me about the sword in my hand, and the 50,000 horses under my command. ”

At this time, a chill came from Xiao Jingya's body! Xiao Jingya looked around in a panic, as if something had been lost at this moment.

……

Wang Qiang felt like he was floating, swimming in the endless sea.

The eyes are colorful and dazzling.

As if he was reincarnated, Wang Qiang was confused, and could only feel that he seemed to be alive and seemed to exist, but it was not normal to go.

I want to move my fingers, but I can't. I can't be sure if I still have fingers.

I want to move my arms, but I can't. I can't be sure if I still have an arm.

I want to move my neck, but I can't. I can't be sure if I still have a neck.

I want to move my feet, but I can't. I can't be sure if I still have legs.

Brother Qiang wanted to say a word, but he couldn't, he didn't know if he still had a tongue.

Brother Qiang didn't even know if he was lying or standing or sitting...... Maybe I don't have a body at all.

After a long period of confusion and difficulty in perceiving himself, Wang Qiang finally became convinced of one thing, he existed in an ethereal way.

This method was initially named by Wang Qiang as the soul state. There is no substance, only a state of the soul of nothingness.

Something gradually reminded me that I was imprisoned by the Tree of Life, and that my body had probably become the nourishment of the Tree of Life, while my soul was imprisoned.

This boundless ocean is my own prison.

Wang Qiang doesn't know how long it took to understand this.

Gradually, as the mind clears, the self-consciousness of the soul begins to return.

It seems that he is still a little different, at least he has become this ghost, and he can still think.

Brother Qiang laughed at himself.

The long emptiness, silence, and loneliness gave Wang Qiang a lot of time to reflect on himself.

Wang Qiang thought of a sentence.

Some people die when they are twenty-eight years old, only to be buried when they are eighty-two. It is not the body that judges a person's life at all, but the soul itself. Wang Qiang tried to convince himself to find some meaning to exist.

Gradually, cheer yourself up!

Although the body is gone, the soul is still there! Although the soul is imprisoned, the mind is still there!

I'm not done yet!

It's not over yet!

He shouldn't have died like this, Wang Qiang thought.

Fate wasn't supposed to end so easily. People are born to fight!

Haven't you been fighting for a long time?

Thinking of this, Wang Qiang's soul was full of energy and began to perk up.

If a person dies, then everything should be over, but he can still think...... So that's not all!

At present, his physical state is more complicated, his soul has been stripped of his body, and his body is no longer there.

How can we get out of the current predicament?

That's a big question.

Wang Qiang relaxed his soul, exuded all his spiritual power, and tried to perceive, perceive this world that belongs to the tree of life.

It's an endless ocean of souls, boundless and full of strangeness. In such an environment, Wang Qiang felt like an insignificant grain of algae.

It's vast.

So much so that it is easy to lose oneself.

Wang Qiang wandered in this sea of red souls, looking for a way out.

But after gradually trying, Wang Qiang knew that it was futile, the sea of souls was boundless, and there was no way out.

Now what?

Wang Qiang pondered.

Finally, Wang Qiang determined the first feasible thing. Now, the only thing I seem to be able to do is to explore by all means, to find out where I am?

Although the soul ocean is boundless, what kind of environment is this?

Wang Qiang thought of it and began to do it, driving his soul, Wang Qiang began to wander, wandering in this strange environment.

As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, just because there are more people walking, there is a road.

When Wang Qiang began to devote himself to inquiry, the soul began to study the world in detail, and sure enough, he found many different places.

Wang Qiang found that in this ocean of souls, he was not the only one who was alone...... On the way of exploration, Wang Qiang met many, many other souls!

There are many of these souls, either entrenched in their own corners or wandering aimlessly.

Wang Qiang tried to communicate with the souls he knew, wanting to get some information from them, but most of the souls were too busy to take care of themselves. These spirits are like computer programs, repeating instinctive actions regularly and invariably.

These souls no longer have a mind of their own.

Wang Qiang looked at the souls passing by, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these souls are alive, but they are actually dead. Maybe they've been in this space for too long, so they're desperate and numb.

Wang Qiang suddenly realized that this may be his future fate!

Thinking of this, Brother Qiang shuddered in his heart, and the trembling feeling in his soul was really terrifying.

Wang Qiang knew that he was afraid!

Some people are scared because of fear, so they give up a lot of their own ideas.

But this certainly does not include Wang Qiang.

Because of fear, Wang Qiang's idea of wanting to explore it was even stronger!

Wang Qiang searched diligently in the ocean of souls, and exploration was a long and extremely boring journey, and as time passed, Wang Qiang felt that his soul was adapting to the changes in this world. I can have no hands or feet, I can't speak, I can't hear, I can't see...... None of this matters, nothing at all, as long as you can still think and feel with your heart. I'm not dead yet!

Not dead yet!
