Chapter 410: Under the Starlight, by the Swamp
Even far away from the endless, fishy and dangerous sea of mire filled with the smell of abandonment.
"As long as the light is bright enough, it can shine far away."
The old man who said this was sitting on the stone platform at the exit of the first clock area at this time, staring at the little light at the limit of the field of vision in the night, and some of the old faces revealed something called longing, which seemed a little distressing on such a night.
In the quagmire of the twelve bell districts divided by one clock face, the first clock district is the closest place to the seven-fold district in a straight line, in other words, the closest place to the "Federation". On a moonless night like this, standing at the exit of this clock area leading to the ground, you can see the city lights of the Qihe District far away. The reason why there is no moon is because the city lights in the far distance, when the moonlight appears, are too faint to catch - it is only slightly brighter than the starlight. And at this time, there will always be some people who try their best to avoid the night watchmen in the clock district, sneak to the ground to look into the distance, and look at the lights of the federal city that is not known how far away, or homesick or hateful. It's often like a night. But tonight, the people who could have come out and look out over the Federation didn't show up. For this place was occupied until dawn.
"You're blind, you can't see a searchlight." With a slight snort, a tall figure with a limp crawled out of the iron gate from the side of the exit. He first rubbed his face and arms, which were a little cold because of the sudden drop in temperature, with his hands rubbing his hands, and then slowly crawled out of the exit, as if someone behind him wanted to help push him, but was reprimanded mercilessly by the man: "Lao Tzu is not so lame that he can't even get out of such a hole, so he doesn't need your many hands!" ”
In this way, the people below are obviously very obedient and do so. The man with a resolute and square face came out of there calmly, and simply sat down beside the old man, and the words that came out of his mouth were still full of sarcasm: "What? After so many years, now I finally can't help but want to go back? ”
For the other party to speak in such a tone, the old man opened his eyes wide, and there was not the slightest expression of anger on his face, but smiled slowly, nodded and admitted: "Yes." After all, people are old and begin to become homesick. I am always afraid that when I die, I am still in a foreign land, and it is difficult to return to my homeland. "Hmph. I'm only fifty-two years old, and you're just turning sixty. It's as pitiful as if half of your body has fallen into the ground. Looking at the old man's face through the faint starlight above his head, the lame man paused and then said, "But you do look too old." It's getting old too fast. ”
Under the starlight, the wrinkles on the old man's face were very clear, his gray head was a little sparse, but it was neatly attached to his scalp, although he looked at the direction of the Qihe District with his eyes wide open, but those eyes were not bright at all, empty, silent, and lacking in spirituality.
That's what the blind man's eye looks like. Although the old man is not an ordinary blind person, and can even do better things than a clear-eyed person, a blind man is a blind man, and no matter how big his eyes are, he still can't see anything.
Somewhat ironically, he used to have the nickname "Hawkeye".
One of the greatest agents the Federation has ever seen.
The blind old man is eagle-eyed, and the lame man is naturally Chen Jin. As a soldier, although he is now over half a hundred years old, as he said before, he does not look or feel like an old man, but more like he is at the peak of a man's life. If it weren't for the lameness of a leg, he would have been more energetic. On the other hand, Hawkeye does look like an old man who is about to be in his twilight, not at all like he has just entered sixty years old.
"Thinking too much, the burden is too heavy, and when these mental pressures are pressed, people are easy to grow old." Hehe smiled, the old man explained.
Under the starlight, Chen Jin's thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "You mean I'm simple-minded?" Hmph, don't forget that Zhao Zhuo and the others have been out for almost four months, but none of the big news you were expecting were born. It's impossible that the list didn't go unnoticed, but why do you think they didn't do what you said? There are two targets in the Qihe District. In the end, Chen Jin's tone couldn't help but feel a little proud, as if he was just saying, "That's because I told him in advance."
When the old man heard this, he just smiled, looked at the direction of Qihe District and did not argue, but instead changed the topic and said: "Somehow, I now feel more and more that Xiao Li's original mention was right." And I'm glad I supported him to do that. ”
"The Federation can no longer go down the path of technology. At least on the war side, there has to be a way to change it. ”
"Discuss this with me again?" Chen Jin's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his tone revealed an impatient feeling, but then this kind of affection was also thrown off by him, and he also turned his head to look in the direction of the Qihe District, and said slowly: "For so many years, all kinds of weapons based on existing science and technology are very mature, guns, missiles, airplanes and spaceships, whether it is individual combat or team combat, are very mature and experienced. Although there is no such thing as a so-called external attack, I believe that one day when we really encounter a foreign enemy, our soldiers will still be able to fight. Risky to change the way of warfare and use other systems of power...... It's too dangerous. At the end, he omitted something slightly, shook his head firmly and whispered. Then, as if he wanted to add, he spoke again: "And even if I want to change, I still think that mecha is the best direction: not to deviate from the existing technology system that has accompanied us for countless years, but also to greatly flexible the way of fighting, no matter how you look at it, it is the best choice." ”
The old man on the stone platform shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "Of course what you said makes sense. But here's the problem...... We don't dare bet. ”
