Chapter 168: Beacon from the Sea
As the largest family in the Federation, the most insistent belief of every child is to let the glory of the family be passed on forever. And Yin Ruoqing's engagement to Zhong Zhengqing is also because of this.
With the well-informed eyes and ears of the Yin family in the Federation, they naturally know that the Federation is in fact in danger. Disaster will come at no time, like a tempest that sweeps away their former glory.
Although the Yin family has all the power in the world and has unparalleled wealth, when it comes to self-preservation in troubled times, they are far inferior to the second largest family, the Zhong Zheng family. The Chung Zheng family, who are in charge of the military, are subject to the constraints of the federal government and various political systems, but in wartime, they will become the most powerful and trustworthy.
Therefore, the marriage between Yin Ruoqing and Zhong Zhengqing was promoted in this environment.
Zhong Zhengyushu, the legendary Kaxiu, the first person in the federal military, personally explained all this to Meng Nan, not because Meng Nan was a disciple of Crazy Gun Xinghan, but just because his eldest brother Zhong Zheng Xiaoshu admired this young man very much.
I don't know what kind of charm Uncle Zhong, who lives in seclusion in Oak Town, makes Zhong Zhengyushu, who is a legendary Kaxiu, so convinced. Meng Nan could clearly feel that Zhong Zhengyushu's admiration for Uncle Zhong was by no means just out of simple brotherly love.
With Zhong Zhengyu's status as a book, he was willing to lower his body to explain these things to Meng Nan, showing his dignified spirit, he looked at Meng Nan with a smile, and said:
"Actually, I also like your card shadow. In that card shadow, I saw the shadows of many old friends. I have a hunch that you will be the one who wins the championship this time! β
"As for the matter between you and Qing'er and Ruoqing, no one in our family will interfere. If the descendants of the Zhong Zheng family have to rely on the power of the family and the happiness of young people to maintain, the Zhong Zheng family really has no need to exist! β
Meng Nan nodded silently. He understood the meaning of Zhong Zhengyu's book, but in fact, the key to the problem was still Yin Ruoqing. It's just that...... I am with the wind and snow, how can I not mind if I am clear...... These things seemed to be a mess, entangled in Meng Nan's mind, making him shake his head with a distressed face, bowed deeply to the majestic and upright man in front of him, and turned his head to leave.
"Good man, I've been entangled in these things all day! You must know that there are many things in this world that are far more important than these things! β
Zhong Zhengyushu stood up, put on his military coat, and said lightly: "Follow me to the beach to have a look!" β
Although Zhong Zhengyushu's tone is understated, it has a majesty as heavy as a mountain. Meng Nan nodded subconsciously and followed Zhong Zhengyushu to break through the air.
The sea with thousands of blue waves, at a glance, the vast soup soup, the sea surface is vast, and the sea breeze with a fishy smell rushes in front of you, which immediately makes people's hearts feel refreshed. However, Zhong Zhengyushu took Meng Nan here, not just to borrow the scenery as a metaphor, he took Meng Nan to fly north on the vast sea, and the two flew for nearly an hour, until Meng Nan's perception was about to be unable to support it, and then he saw that there was a circle of islands dotted around, like a pearl collar, covering more than half of the sea.
These islands, both large and small. On some of the larger islands, some low-rise buildings can be faintly seen, and Meng Nan can see from his military literacy that these are actually simple tactical bunkers.
"This is the first line of defense on the federal sea, and it is also the first fortress that our Zhongzheng family has guarded for generations." Zhong Zhengyushu took Meng Nan to land on a large island, strolled on the sharp reef, and explained to him.
"Do you know the name of the island?"
Without waiting for Meng Nan to answer, he said to himself: "The name of the island is called Xiaoao!" This name was named by the eldest brother ten years ago! β
No wonder I feel very close to Uncle Zhong, even the names of us are so similar! Meng Nan was secretly pondering that seven or eight federal soldiers had already rushed out of the bunker and rushed towards here.
"Your Excellency!"
When these federal soldiers saw Zhong Zhengyushu, they immediately knelt down, their faces full of genuine surprise and reverence.
"Good work!" Zhong Zhengyushu waved his hand, and seven golden cards flew towards these soldiers.
"Tomorrow the Golden Sunflower Card Shadow Contest will officially begin, this is the admission card, the eight of you, leave one, and take a look at the rest!"
These soldiers had Zhong Zhengyu's crisp and sassy style, and when they heard the words, they were not polite, and they got together to discuss it, and finally left a middle-aged man with a dark face, and the others drove the car and sped away in the direction of the city.
"Tonight, stay vigil with me, and early tomorrow morning, I will send a car to send you back to see the Card Shadow Competition!" Zhong Zhengyu finished speaking lightly, and walked into the low bunker with Meng Nan.
Only then did Meng Nan know that Zhong Zhengyushu was going to personally guard this place and give those soldiers a short rest and relaxation. This kind of pro-people means, in the previous life on the earth, has been used by politicians of various countries, but Zhong Zhengyushu did all this, but it is extremely natural, and there is no trace of acting.
Because half of the bunker was built underground, and it was adjacent to the sea, it was inevitably wet. As soon as I walked in, the smell of mold and rot that was difficult to circulate in the air came to my nose. However, Meng Nan and Zhong Zhengyushu were not ordinary people, and the two sat down casually.
In front of the two of them, there was a large magic card projector showing the turbulent sea, and Meng Nan could see that this should be similar to the kind of surveillance device on the earth. It's just that the camera is used on the earth, and the magic card broadcast is used here.
"The soldiers here are all elite soldiers under our command. The strength of each of them was not inferior to those so-called elites in Jacob's Anzi Camp. Zhong Zhengyushu sighed quietly: "But here, their casualty rate is more than 80%, so I am willing to do anything that can make them relaxed and happy!" β
Meng Nan was silent, when he first arrived on this planet, he originally thought that the Kepu Federation was peaceful and stable. But then he encountered the dwarves of the seventh district, and the casualties of those soldiers here, which made him understand that no matter what time and space, war is always the main theme. The so-called peace is only a faΓ§ade of hypocrisy. Just because profit is the natural surname of living beings, the battle will never die.
"Just look at these soldiers who may not see the rising sun at any time, and you will understand, don't worry too much about gains and losses!"
After Zhong Zhengyu finished speaking, he cultivated cross-legged by himself, and Meng Nan silently condensed his perception and cultivated.
Dinner was made by the black-faced soldier who was left behind, Kasiu named An Zuowang. In this kind of place, there is naturally no guarantee of a fine diet, just a few pieces of coarse black bread and a large pot of thick soup.
Meng Nan took a sip of the soup and couldn't help but smack his mouth. In this, there is clearly the taste of seafood.
"I have to make sure the soldiers have enough energy, so I won't ban them from eating meat." Zhong Zhengyushu said lightly.
Meng Nan felt everything here, and suddenly remembered the soldiers stationed on the frontier in his own country in his previous life. They are so similar, dedicating their years and even their lives in exchange for the peace of the majority.
This meal, before it was finished, the communication card in the room rang.
"Yellow Devil! Seven Star Cave! Fifteen points! β
Before this short voice landed, Zhong Zhengyushu had already pulled Meng Nan up and flew straight out of this bunker.
The soft light of the stars and the moon cast a little scattered light like fish scales on the undulating sea, and Meng Nan and Zhong Zhengyushu crossed the sea and galloped towards the northwest.
On the way, Zhong Zhengyushu explained to Meng Nan. On these pearl-necked reef islands, there are a total of thirteen federal military outposts. In total, there are about a hundred elite soldiers stationed.
These posts choke the choke point at sea from all directions, and if the enemy attacks from any direction, others will support them from all sides. The Seven Star Cave mentioned in the communication card just now refers to one of the reef islands, which is named because there are seven caves on it.
When the two of them arrived there, more than 30 soldiers had gathered on the Qixing Cave, and there were still cars cutting through the sky one after another, rushing towards here. Seeing Zhong Zhengyu's book, these iron-blooded soldiers who had survived a hundred battles all bowed down to salute, and their faces were full of genuine respect.
The fifteen points mentioned on the communication card refer to the enemy's estimated arrival in fifteen minutes, and as the soldiers on the island were assembled, dozens of strange ships like lotus leaves, with sails, appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Meng Nanji looked at these small lotus-like boats about seven or eight square meters in size, and on each boat, there were about ten creatures standing all over their bodies covered with yellow dense hair. These creatures look like humans, but they are all naked[***] and have extremely vicious expressions on their faces.
"These people, called the Yellow Devils, are one of the Seven Demon Clans of Overseas Phuket Island, and they are the weakest among the Seven Demon Clans, but they are the most numerous."
After Zhong Zhengyu finished speaking, his figure rose from the ground and floated in the air towards those navigators known as the Yellow Devils.
Zhong Zhengyushu flew through the air, and when he saw Zhong Zhengyushu's figure getting closer and closer, those yellow devils couldn't help but shout excitedly. Then, they made a strange move.
The yellow devils on each ship suddenly shouted and hugged each other tightly.
What happened next was like an illusion. The bodies of the yellow devils who were tightly hugged gradually melted and turned into a puddle of yellow liquid, which was flattened on the boat, slowly rising, and finally, it turned into a giant yellow devil with a body as high as several floors.
The lotus-leaf-like boat, which could no longer carry such a huge yellow devil, gradually sank into the sea. And those yellow devils floated in the air and greeted Zhong Zhengyushu, who was flying with a sword...... (To be continued.) )
