Chapter 19: Arriving at the Barracks
Qianyi faintly understood in his heart, but he was not sure, so he didn't say much and was silent for a while.
He shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know what his old man thinks, but then again, it's not bad to be with you, Brother Liu Ming, you get along very well." ”
Liu Ming laughed, revealing the rugged and heroic character of a soldier, and patted Qianyi's shoulder heavily, "Okay, we will be brothers in the future." ”
He still has a good impression of Qianyi, he entered purgatory from the greenhouse, without any complaints, and did things resolutely, they went to find them, packed their luggage and left, cherished love and righteousness, and told his sister everything before leaving, he had a long way ahead, but he said it easily in front of his relatives, just to reassure them.
For the rest of the day, the car fell silent, and the soldiers didn't talk much, pursuing efficient action. Since the car is electric, there is not much noise, but a loud wind whistling can be heard, which is caused by the fast speed.
Chiya closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat quietly, feeling the calm before the storm, he clearly knew how far away this bland tranquility would be from him after reaching the border.
"Squeak...", with a sharp tire scraping sound, the car stopped.
"Hey, it's on the ground, let's all come down." This is Li Jie's voice, it seems that it has arrived, thanks to the progress of science and technology, so that the speed of the car can reach a very fast speed, saving a lot of time.
Liu Ming got out of the car, Qian Yi followed closely, and a pungent smell came, this is the smell of decay, he has felt it before, there are mutant beast bodies and plants, and even some human bodies that have not had time to clean up, these things have begun to decay under the action of microorganisms.
Then, looking into the distance, there is a transparent light mask that flashes with an electric arc, which is the last barrier of humanity. Then I saw that there were small spheres next to it, arranged around the large spheres, like planets clustering around the sun.
He had seen the big sphere a few years ago, and the small sphere should be the fortress that Liu Ming had told him about, and it would also be his place of residence in the future.
Coming outside the greenhouse again, Qianyi exhaled heavily, feeling the dullness in his heart swept away, as if he was alive again. I don't know why, as soon as I came here, I felt an inexplicable excitement.
"What's wrong? Don't think about it so much, you get used to it after a while. Liu Ming saw Qian Yi exhaling heavily, and thought that he was not suitable for this place and was afraid of this place.
Li Jie sneered, "Just him, a greenhouse flower?" If you still want to survive here, even if you don't die here, you will have a psychological breakdown. ”
"Li Jie, you don't have to say a word." Liu Ming frowned, feeling that his comrades-in-arms were too much.
Qian Yi smiled and waved his hand, "It's not in the way, Brother Li Jie's reminder is right, after all, I have just arrived at the border, and I am not familiar with the place, and I will have to take care of the two big brothers in the future." ”
When he first arrived at the border, he didn't want to make enemies before he could do anything, and in this border, survival was the first priority. He didn't think that if he had participated in the survival competition, he would be able to sit back and relax, if it wasn't for Shiyu sacrificing his life to save him, where would he still be now, and now his life doesn't completely belong to him, a large part of it is poetic.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard this, Li Jie didn't speak, and walked straight to the fortress, and Qian Yi and Liu Ming also followed.
Approaching the fortress, Qian also saw clearly, the defense system is composed of a layer of ultra-high voltage power grid and a layer of electromagnetic network, don't underestimate this seemingly weak defense system. The two layers of pitch-black spheres that surround the inside and outside of the defense system next to it speak for themselves, which are the endless void that is revealed after the space is torn apart.
A little closer, Liu Ming took out a silver-white token, and then the light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, the three of them were already inside the fortress.
This is also a kind of spatial teleportation, but the distance is very short, and there needs to be a matching token, and then the host sends out a high-energy beam to forcibly tear the space and complete the teleportation. It is far from the space teleportation device given by Ye Le, not to mention the distance, even if it does not need to be paired, it is far better than a hundred times, not to mention that it requires very little energy.
I didn't have time to think about it, and a group of soldiers came up to me, "Hello sir." Qi Shushu gave a respectful military salute and continued to walk forward, looking like he should have just finished training and was going back to the dormitory to rest.
Liu Ming and Li Jie also returned the military salute, and also walked back, while walking, Liu Ming said to Qianyi, "These are excellent soldiers on the border, the training here is a hundred times stricter than outside, and there is no way to survive." ”
Qianyi nodded in agreement, the last experience was really too memorable, and as soon as he came here, his nerves began to tense unconsciously.
I thought it was a very close distance, but I haven't arrived for a long time, and Qianye has some doubts but doesn't say it.
Liu Ming seemed to see it, and explained with a smile: "Do you wonder why the fortress is so big?" Think about it, you can also see, although it is a fortress, it is actually a safe area under the simplified defense system, although it cannot be compared with a greenhouse, but it is also very broad, the facilities here are very complete, and when there is no war in peacetime, it is not much worse than a greenhouse. "Liu Ming has been using greenhouses, and it seems that this should be the unified name of the border and the military.
Chiya was a little surprised, "You mean, there is also peace and life here. ”
He was really excited, he was ready to deal with purgatory, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance to experience normal life in another village, which was really not easy for people living outside the greenhouse.
"Of course, it's just that this is for ordinary people, for soldiers, peace is given by mutant beasts, they don't attack is calm, if they catch up with the riot, they may be on the battlefield for months, and there are rumored big riots, it is said that more than one fortress will be destroyed every time." When he said these words, Liu Ming sighed, this feeling of not being able to live and die is really a kind of torture.
"Brother Liu Ming, the ordinary people you are talking about... Be? ”
"It's some businessmen, and there are people who don't want to be in the greenhouse or can't get along in the greenhouse, and there are some military families, because they may not be able to go back for the rest of their lives, and some of their relatives have followed."
Qian Yi didn't ask again, he saw that Liu Ming was a little depressed after saying this, and he didn't speak very interestingly.
This time, he didn't go far before he encountered a light rail tram, and Chiya found a place by the window and sat down, the speed of the car was very fast, and the scenery on the side of the road flashed quickly like a videotape.
I sat like this, feeling the cool breeze blowing in through the window, and I felt as if I was still in a greenhouse. The population density here is not small, much more than he imagined, and there is everything necessary for life, and the prosperity is not inferior to the greenhouse.
Looking out the window, my thoughts began to drift, I thought of home, I thought of my parents, and I didn't have time to say goodbye in person, but I said it in the newsletter. It's just that he joined the army, and he didn't dare to tell them the truth, so he tried to avoid it if he didn't let them worry.
Then I thought of Ye Le again, and I didn't know if he was a blessing or a curse. There is also Tranquility, a weak girl who doesn't know if she will be bullied without her own protection.
