Chapter 121: Swallowing the Scroll (10)

Jackson's signing of the plan to increase the garrison on the Esnia continent was not without pressure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Dissenting voices in Congress believe that such a decision is the official beginning of pushing the United States to the brink of ugliness. If sending people to the other side of the globe is to protect the interests of the United States, then there is no need for additional troops today. The opinion of the opposition is clear, the level of the empire on the other side of the world is like the red natives expelled by the expansion of the western territories of the United States, and there is no resistance to modern industrial equipment, so is it necessary to continue to increase the number of troops? One lawmaker even protested and demanded that Jackson retract the order he had signed. Jackson received the protest and threw it contemptuously to the side of his desk, and the wind from the window blew the two- or three-page protest into a corner of the room without hesitation, and soon the cleaner in charge of cleaning would pick it up. There are so many things to bother Jackson about, do you have to ask the president to spend time and energy on the few opposition parties in Congress? On the night the order was signed, Jackson again attended that particular rally. Before the rally began, someone was introduced to Jackson's side and sat down. The tall-looking, lanky-faced, somewhat pale-skinned young man was so valued by the members of the assembly that he could sit with the current President of the United States.

Whether Jackson wanted it or not, the young man, who had only known the president for half a day, became an important figure in the president's official residence, and he was appointed assistant to the president. In the past, there was no such position in the presidents or administrations, even the Mr. Warman next to the founding father Curris, who did not have an official title, but he was remembered by history and the people only when he became the successor of Curris. However, there are not many people who oppose the establishment of this position by the president, after all, there are many institutions and positions in this country that did not exist in the past, and they are gradually created. The assistant was supposed to serve with Mr. President, but on the fourth day after his appointment, he was sent to the training camp of the Second Expeditionary Force to be sent to Eisnia. As a result, reporters from political newspapers and magazines who liked to chase after the wind began to speculate, the most popular and supported theory that Mr. President did not trust the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, similar to the prison troops sent by the backward emperors. Jackson looked at the newspaper reports and comments, and he couldn't help but laugh. Jackson didn't distrust the commander of the army, and the real reason was to carry out the secret mission given by the group this time, trying to find out about the genetic accumulation of the missing member who appeared on the continent of Esnia, and if possible, capture the corresponding number of genetic carriers and hand them over to the group's master. Who is the master, definitely not everyone in the opportunity, Jackson thought, could it be that the eye represents the master?

Mei Yi's solitary action at night was interrupted, and it was more important to understand what was going on in front of her than the hunger pangs that had been present for most of the day. Mei Yi decided to follow, maybe he was no longer young, and he was running wildly in the grass with those dark shadows, and it was very laborious, and he lost the trace of the other party while walking, Mei Yi had to slow down and think about the real whereabouts of these people. It stands to reason that carrying the corpse of a mortal soldier can't run far no matter what, why can't Mei Yi catch up? As soon as he thought of why, Mei Yi was shocked, and then he felt a gust of wind coming from his back, no, someone was sneaking up behind! It seems that Mei Yi is really old, when he was young in the barracks, he had experienced a lot of bloody battles, and Mei Yi could deal with this kind of sneak attack without much effort, but today, on the island of his former hometown, he was actually pressed to the ground, and there was no room for resistance. Mei Yi gasped, his hands bound with vines, and dragged through the grass until he reached a hidden cave on the edge of the island, located halfway up the mountainside. Mei Yi's body, which had not fully recovered after the mutation, did not surprise the other party under the dim light, because the other party actually looked similar to him, with a tall body, thick limbs, a thin head, and several people in front of him were all four fingers. Mei Yi seemed to understand something, he relaxed and changed his position, leaning against the wall in the cave, calling himself more comfortable. Someone kicked him, and he didn't get up. The men ignored him and began to pick up the corpse of the man.

Mei Yi looked at them, waiting for what might happen next, but as a result, those people picked up the corpses of Fanren, dismembered them one by one, and then selected their backs and arms, and roasted them on the fire. Mei Yi was secretly surprised, and said that the soldiers on the island were waiting for him, and I am afraid that they were not specifically for him, but for these people. Mei Yi couldn't stand these people eating human flesh no matter what, so he had to turn his face away and not look at it. It didn't take long for the burst of barbecue aroma to penetrate Mei Yi's nose along the curving terrain in the cave. It's so fragrant, Mei Yi sniffed, but soon a wave of nausea appeared in his throat and eyes, and he began to vomit non-stop. The men probably heard the commotion and started coming towards him. The smell of meat became heavier and heavier, and sure enough, someone stuck a piece of human flesh with a branch and stretched it out to Mei Yi's mouth. Mei Yi turned his head to look at the man who didn't speak, and shook his head resolutely. The man did not speak, but stuck one end of the branch on the ground and walked away.

Mei Yi looked at the steaming meat, and the nausea in his heart was quickly dissipated by the hunger. He looked at his current downfall and figured out something, perhaps perhaps the most important thing. He shouted to the men who were sitting around eating the meat, told them to untie themselves, grabbed the branches, and stuffed the meat into their mouths. In the first few bites, Mei Yi didn't feel anything after eating, when he was hungry, what was no longer important to him, and being full was what he was most concerned about. After eating, Mei Yi simply went to the fire uninvited, took a piece of meat, and began to talk to the person. Those people didn't speak at first, but then they talked to Mei Yi briefly, and Mei Yi quickly learned where they came from. They are indeed not residents of this island, and of course they do not know Mei Yi. Mei Yi has been away from this island for many years, and his appearance has changed a lot, even the residents of the island may not know him. What made Mei Yi suddenly wake up was that these people could actually speak the official language of the mainland. And it's Hezhou's side, that's right, Mei Yi is sure that he is not mistaken. These people told Mei Yi their origins as if they were telling stories.

The leader is called Dalong, and these people are his brothers. The dragon said that they came from a small island, similar to the island of the faith, but that the island they were on could move on its own. Speaking of movement, this island sometimes does not move for months in one sea area, and sometimes when it wakes up, it may not be in the sea of yesterday for a long time. Although they can move, they are never fun to stay on an island from a young age. The young people on the island, like Mei Yi back then, find it difficult to live in peace. This is especially true of Dalong, who has long since secretly escaped the care of the chiefs of the island with his younger brothers, and when he picks up the island and does not move, he quietly goes out to make some trade with passing ships, which has had a lot of fun, and there are indeed benefits of trade. Mei Yi asked him how he could understand the official dialect of the mainland, and Dalong said that these words were originally spoken by the people on the island, and they had been saying them since they were children. The dragon went on to tell how they had come here, and he said that it had caused a strange storm.

One day, the dragon took advantage of the fact that the people took the islanders to the few fields to cultivate, and quietly drove a small boat out to sea. At this time, there should be a lot of merchant ships passing by in the nearby waters, and there are indispensable opportunities for trade. The so-called trade, the dragons are just exchanging the eggs and seafood produced on the island with the clothes and oil of the merchant ships. Dalong saw that the weather was good, and that he had rowed far away and did not encounter merchant ships, so he decided to go out some more distance to try his luck. How do you know that this chance of luck will lead to a monstrous disaster. The boat went out a long way, and the food and drink on the ship were almost consumed, and in the past it was only prepared for a short round trip, but today's luck was too bad, and Dalong saw that there was no hope, and decided to return. Because of the return voyage, the younger brothers who had just felt that they had no strength came to the strength, and the speed was not slow on the way back. But when it was supposed to be time to get to the island, the island was gone. Dalong thought that he knew the nearby sea well, so he never brought a compass or anything, besides, there were only a few compasses on the entire island, and they were all in the hands of the headman, and now he couldn't see the island, Dalong's first reaction was to get lost. He scrambled to the top of the ship's mast and, despite the danger of rocking, looked out at the shadow of the island. Until it was getting late, the dragon did not see the slightest shadow of the island. He was so weak that he slipped off the mast, and he didn't know what the river brothers would say. Of course, the mother at home, he can't explain it. When Mei Yi heard this, he asked, "Then you came here?" Dalong shook his head and said no, there was something even stranger

Seeing that there was not much food and drink on the ship, and it was getting late, Dalong simply asked his younger brothers to bring what they could eat with the things that were supposed to trade with the merchant ships. Looking at the weather, it's not bad, I can only find out where the island is after dawn tomorrow. The big dragon at night couldn't sleep, originally thought that in the past few months, the island had not moved its position at all, but who would have thought that he would move today. And if the weather turns bad in the middle of the night, it's a dead or. The more I thought about the bad things, the worse the worse things became, and the weather changed, but instead of lightning and thunder, there was an endless thick fog that appeared around the boat. After everyone finished eating the roasted meat, they didn't finish talking about what happened to Dalong and them. That day, when Dalong discovered the dense fog, several younger brothers also found out, they had seen the weather of lightning and thunder, but they had never seen such a big fog on the sea, and it was white everywhere, which made everyone even more alarmed. Row away, I have lost my way and there is no direction at all, don't leave, ten people always feel that there is nothing hidden in this white fog, the third said, he heard the sound of creaking in the white fog. After a few hours of fear, they couldn't help it, so they decided to paddle out in one direction to see if there was any hope of highlighting the white mist. Dalong commanded his three younger brothers, ate well, regained his strength, and began to row the boat, rowing out in one direction. Dalong arranged that there was always a person lying on the bow of the boat looking ahead, and when he rowed out for some time, the second man lying on the bow waved Dalong over, saying that the sea water had changed color. The dragon went over to look at the sea, and sure enough, the water was no longer blue-green, but completely blue. What does this mean, Dalong doesn't know if he should continue to row forward, the meaning of the younger brothers is very simple, anyway, they don't know the direction, it is better to continue rowing, even if it is life and death, wealth and prosperity are in the sky. Everyone made up their minds and struggled to continue rowing. Faintly, there was a disc-shaped thing on their heads that shone white light on the bodies of the four people. Dalong felt a trace of warmth in the damp and cold of the dense fog, and looked up, the sun was about to come out, and with the sun, Dalong seemed to have a bottom in his heart, because the sun came out, which meant that the dense fog was about to disperse.

The fog did lift, but the dragon found that they had come to a strange sea, and looked at the small island that was approaching in front of them, and the vegetation on the island was completely different from the one they had lived on. Dalong didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, he couldn't care so much at the moment, so he would go ashore first. After resting on the island for more than half a day, Dalong had the strength to walk around the island with a younger brother, and found that the island was so desolate that there was no human figure, and there was not much vegetation. Dalong and his brothers discussed whether to settle down on this island first, and then find their way back when they had the opportunity. The second brother found something, he pointed not far away and said to Dalong, there are people. Dalong looked in the direction pointed by the second brother in his sleep, and sure enough, there were people, it was also an island, and there were faint houses moving next to each other, and some houses were emitting smoke. Mei Yi guessed that probably the populated island that Dalong saw at the beginning was this Xinke Island. Dalong said yes, he was excited at the time, there are people, there is a way. He told his brothers to prepare to go to the island, so that they might be able to return to their hometown sooner rather than later. In the case of great excitement, the four people rowed a small boat close to the island, and before it could stop steadily, something that did not know where it came from fell into the sea, and the sea water was splashed with huge waves, and the waves directly overturned the boat, and all four people fell into the water. With the push of the waves, it took a lot of effort for the dragon to get to the island. But when they got to the island, they soon discovered that the island was extraordinary.

The short-term training of the army was about to end, thanks to the military service system of the United States, many people from their teenage years, they had to undergo dozens of hours of basic military training each year, so once the army needed to be conscripted, most of them only needed a little training to be sent to the battlefield, and this system had to be traced back to the wisdom of Consul Warman, the second consul of the United States. Jackson and his assistants were again instructed to rally. In the hotel's penthouse room, Jackson was one of the people sitting in the dark, and this time someone had his hand close to the strange model. The young man was obviously not as surprised as Jackson had shown at first, and he calmly stretched out his hands and closed his eyes calmly. There was only some light in the room, and Jackson could see the young man's head swaying slightly, so often that it was worrying. This ritual lasted for about an hour, and the young man ended shaking and opened his eyes, his face seemed to have changed a little, it seemed that there was a faint green in the white, Jackson thought that it was related to the ritual just now, he wondered if he would look at his face after returning home, whether the faces of people who had experienced this ritual had changed. Or maybe this young man is who he was back then.

Jackson hugged the young man as if someone had congratulated him. The young man named Tracy never talked much, and Jackson didn't even feel warm when the two of them embraced. The next day, Tracy and the expeditionary army embarked on the warship and set sail. Jackson didn't know the true content of Tracy's mission, because this was not allowed by the group, and what he wanted to do was to fully support Tracy as the group's plenipotentiary envoy to complete this mission. Jackson felt that his president was a superficial thing, as if he had been gilded. The expeditionary force was the best in weaponry, thanks to the fact that the United States of America is now in the same prosperous situation as it was in the past. The government's encouragement of inventions and creations is a daily push for the United States to become the most powerful nation on earth. Looking at the steam-powered warships, at the guns of huge caliber and amazing range, and at the high morale of the soldiers, Jackson felt that he was the most powerful man on the planet, or at least it seemed that way. Satisfied, he waved goodbye to the soldiers, thinking about looking in the mirror when he got home. Tracy on the ship was expressionless, and he, who had set off with the expeditionary force with the rank of captain, was saluting the farewell crowd on the shore like the rest of the soldiers. Tracy, a new member of the group, was instructed to capture live samples of carriers of specific genetic factors at all costs, and to contact the base if necessary. Tracy didn't know where the base was, only that before performing that ritual, he was told to be absolutely loyal to the group and completely obedient.
