Chapter 32: The Last Sight of Lington (I)
The huge off-road tires of the A4 armored personnel carrier crushed the dilapidated road, and the muddy water splashed the sandy wasteland on both sides of the road even more dark brown mud.
As we got closer to the city, the threat on the road diminished, and the machine guns on the roof of the armored personnel carriers became more and more powerless.
There are even some soldiers who have sat on the outer armor plate of the armored personnel carrier under Wang Quan's eyes and closed his eyes, discussing the previous tragic defensive battle with his comrades-in-arms, and his face will be even more salient when he talks about the fierceness, but when he talks about his fallen comrades, he will be dwarfed in silence, and full of remembrance of those fallen soldiers, all kinds of funny images in his life, and the dreams that have been on his lips and in his heart but have never been fulfilled......
But none of these surviving soldiers cried for the parting of their comrades, this is war, when the people around them died one after another, only they were still alive, sadness is no longer expressed by tears, or rather, the tears have long been cried dry, or, these war-ridden soldiers have long been looking forward to the day when they will be reunited with their former comrades-in-arms under the nine springs, and therefore, everyone has never cried, because they believe that one day they will meet again, even if it is under the nine springs, but above, When we meet, we will definitely touch our fists and laugh out loud.
And when talking about Wu Fei, the eyes and tone of these soldiers showed a deep respect and gratitude, after all, if Wu Fei hadn't solved the enemy commander with one sword, they would not have gathered together to talk about the past now.
In the compartment of the No. 3 armored personnel carrier of the Seventh Brigade, Wu Fei was carefully wiping the silver sharp knife and bone tail blade, which seemed to have become a habit of Wu Fei.
After all, people who have been on the battlefield for a long time are the only ones who will take care of their personal weapons, and those who are as persistent as Wu Fei will get the favor of the veterans, and even sometimes some veterans will discuss with Wu Fei when they stay in the army to rest about the maintenance of their personal weapons, and Wu Fei has also benefited a lot, and the veterans use the discussion with Wu Fei as a capital to brag with their comrades.
The succubus Isabel tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of charm silently looked at Wu Fei who was engrossed, since that night, the succubus Isabel is more obedient to Wu Fei and even a little dependent, and often looks at Wu Fei silently like now, and the relationship between the two seems to have faded a little.
"If only you could keep doing this, you could be respected and embraced by the people around you, and you could enjoy this temporary peace and occasional excitement." The succubus Isabel muttered, her words full of hope.
"In the world of the supernatural, what we have experienced must be a small fight, and when we enter Lington City, we have really entered the whirlpool of this world, and the curtain is slowly opening." Wu Fei continued to wipe his double knives with his head bored, and in the end, there was an indomitable determination in his eyes when he raised his head.
"I will always be by your side and witness your legendary life." In the seductive eyes of the succubus Isabel, there is a clear and translucent look that is completely different from the usual style, and a firmness carved into the depths of the soul, and the corners of the mouth are a smile of hope.
There was silence between the two, and the soldiers around them, covered in bandages, silently stroked their arms, sweeping goosebumps to the ground.
'Crunch--'
The A4 armored personnel carrier suddenly braked suddenly, causing everyone in the car to almost get out of their seats.
"What's going on?" Wu Fei frowned slightly, looked at the outside world through the shooting port, and said.
"Lord Alien, I don't know why car No. 1 suddenly stopped, so I'll get in touch." The soldiers of the A4 armored personnel carrier began to use the radio to contact the first A4 armored personnel carrier, which was the lead vehicle.
"Car No. 1, please reply when you hear it, what's going on?" The driver asked into the radio, confused.
"It's the caravan of the Haoyue Chamber of Commerce, and they ask to pass the checkpoint first." The driver of car No. 1 came back with some anger.
It turned out that at this time, the Seventh Brigade had already driven to a peripheral warning checkpoint in Lington City, and the sudden stop was a convoy with a Haoyue air pattern printed on the body, forcibly overtaking and squeezing in front of the Seventh Brigade, and demanding that the checkpoint be released first.
"We are the Seventh Brigade of the Lington City Guard Force, and there are wounded people in the car who need urgent treatment, and we ask for priority release!" Wang Quan's voice through the megaphone also sounded in the outside world at this time, and his tough tone did not mean to humble the Haoyue caravan at all.
"Isn't this Captain Wang, what? Beaten back by a living corpse at the outpost, just take us taxpayers to be angry!? The Haoyue caravan also did not give up the slightest shotback, and then explained that the convoy was carrying the materials urgently needed by Lington City, and asked for priority release.
Wu Fei sat in the A4 armored personnel carrier, but he was a little incomprehensible.
"Lord Stranger, do you know, in Lington City, the guard troops have always been very bad with these chambers of commerce, our brothers in the guard force are not used to seeing the private armies of those chambers of commerce arrogant and arrogant and ignore order, and the private armies of those chambers of commerce and even the chamber of commerce itself do not regard the brothers of the guard troops as human beings at all, so from the beginning of the quarrel, to the end of the almost misfire, so, in some things, even just the issue of priority, will fight for superiority." A soldier whose face was mostly wrapped in gauze saw that Wu Fei was a little incomprehensible, so he explained out loud.
"Then the officials of Lington City are watching the white drama on the side?" The succubus Isabel asked puzzled at this time.
"Oh, that's the case, you don't know, in the eyes of the actual leader of Lington City, whether it is General Xie, the commander-in-chief of the guard troops, or the business alliance formed by the presidents of the major chambers of commerce, they are all powerful forces that are not very peaceful, and the leader of Lington City and the direct army under his command naturally hope that the more fierce the trouble between the guard troops and the business alliance, the better, as long as it is not a real thing, they will not ask a word, but feel at ease for this situation of mutual restraint and dare not act rashly." The wounded soldier gave the answer to what he had observed.
But Wu Fei thought in his heart, it seems that this Lington City is not shallow, although the guards and business alliances are ostensibly affected by Lington City. After all, in this last day, no one will want to obey others after losing the constraints of order and law, especially when they have strong forces and allies, but between the strong military guard forces and the business alliance that is slightly weaker in military strength but stronger in science and technology, they don't want to do it first, and they have prevented themselves from doing it, and the other party takes the opportunity to do it. The City Lords' alliance prioritized the destruction of the isolated and threatening self, and because of this, Lington City has maintained a semblance of harmony.
It's interesting, it's really interesting.
Wu Fei was very interested in the fact that he was about to plunge headlong into the whirlpool, which was one of the purposes for him to leave DQ-3 and break through this chaotic apocalypse.
At this time, the war of words between the Seventh Brigade and the Haoyue Caravan from the outside world has been going on for a long time, and both sides are a little impatient.
"Mr. Wu Fei, do you have any suggestions on this matter?" Wang Quan's voice suddenly came out of the radio, obviously he was tired of continuing the war of words, after all, the wounded soldiers on A4 were still waiting for treatment, which was already heard from his tone, but Wang Quan, who had a heart for Wu Fei, still asked Wu Fei's advice.
"When it's time to be high-profile, be high-profile." Wu Fei's answer was a little ambiguous, and he didn't clearly state what he meant, but Wang Quan already understood, and Wu Fei thought of going with him.
"Don't worry about Haoyue's dog, notify the whole team, and give Lao Tzu a hard bump!" While Wang Quan gave the order, he also gave priority to stabilization, and then inspired the blood of all the soldiers.
The engine began to roar, the soldiers aimed at the gloomy sky and pulled the trigger, and the armored convoy of the Seventh Brigade crashed into the Haoyue caravan convoy blocking the road in a high-profile acceleration, just like the gunfire and smug laughter, leaving the crashed Haoyue Chamber of Commerce convoy to roar like a domineering lion and pass the checkpoint in a high-profile manner, and the guards of the checkpoint could only watch this scene with a helpless wry smile.
In the Haoyue caravan, which felt completely unexpected by this, seeing this situation, some of the guards couldn't help but open the safety of the guns, but they were forcibly pressed by the housekeeper sent by the Haoyue Chamber of Commerce, and the middle-aged housekeeper naturally knew that if these guards were allowed to fire, the trouble caused would definitely not be something they could bear, and now they could only tell the high-level of the Haoyue Chamber of Commerce, and let the bigwigs fight with the guys in the guard troops.

(Today's chapter is a little late, it's really because there are some private matters to deal with, by the way, let me tell you, the curtain of Lington City is about to open, and Wu Fei will officially step into the whirlpool of troubled times.) )
