Chapter 25: Confusion in the Midst of Confusion
The meeting entered its final phase. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The commander asked, "What about the miracle worker?" he seems to have disappeared in the last few days. ”
Lei Ming replied, "Don't worry, he'll get back in touch with us when he's had enough." ”
"But I still have some tasks I want to give him. ”
"Well. Lei Ming shrugged helplessly: "He's not a person who will obey orders. ”
The Commander's eyes narrowed again.
"Then he will obey my orders for the sake of his family. ”
Lei Ming still just smiled.
"If you want to threaten him, I'm afraid he will choose to kill his family in front of you, then cut off your hands and feet, bring everything you care about to you, and then make all life worse than death, and let you watch everything you care about being tortured. ”
"When you're numb, he'll take you and feed the dogs. ”
"He hasn't done that yet, though. Lei Ming looked at the video with a very confident look. "But I know he's that kind of person. Once he provokes him and releases the darkness in his heart once, then everyone will be consumed by his darkness. ”
A young high-ranking official was dissatisfied: "You are suspected of pretending to be coercive when you talk like this, please be mature." ”
Lei Ming smiled casually and left a sentence: "I didn't pretend to be forced, I just told the truth." Then the meeting ended.
After all, now that the Sioux City crisis has not been resolved, there is no time for them to talk nonsense here.
Thunder looked at Aegon and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to be healed?" ”
Aegon's attitude was still the same, and he shook his head and said, "No, in a few days, I will be able to absorb the ice marks and analyze the structure of this power." ”
Bai Xuan couldn't understand what he said, but he felt that it was so powerful, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Thunder explained for Aegon, "Meaning, he can gain the ability of the Death Knight by absorbing that scar. ”
"Uh...... Wow......"
Bai Chi was stunned, he had never thought that the scar would be used in this way.
"I heard that there was a little accident at your party. Lei Ming asked Bai Chi.
This question embarrassed him, because he was full of confidence, so he agreed to his classmate's request. But now it's embarrassing, because many of his classmates have died, and those parents who have lost their children are blaming him and angry.
And he knew it was his fault, so he didn't know how to deal with those parents.
Perhaps those parents were also at fault, thinking that letting their children know a supernatural person, knowing someone known as the guardian of the city, would secure the future. But they didn't think that everything is risky, and this risk caused them to lose their children.
In comparison, Aegon is relaxed, he has no pressure.
It's not because he has no heart or lungs, but he just planned to protect Xia Wenxi from the beginning.
As long as that girl doesn't die, what psychological burden can he have?
He is a very regular person, a very principled person, and a very freewheeling person.
Lei Ming ordered to Bai Chi: "I already have twenty people under my command with ninety-nine divine weapons, you take those people to search for the traces of the death knights and ensure the safety inside and outside of Sioux City." You also need this opportunity to avoid the parents who have lost their children, and let more people see that you have protected the city, which is enough to make people not worry about you because of individual lives. ”
Bai Chi didn't answer, which was a silent acceptance.
Lei Ming looked at Aegon and ordered, "I think you should accompany me to choose people who can use the weapons of the Ninety-Nine Gods, and then help me train them." ”
Aegon waved his hand in refusal, "I'm sorry, but I didn't intend to be your subordinate. I'm not interested in any of those things, and I'll help you, but I won't do things for you. ”
"Well, I can't force you, but I want you to think about it. ”
......
Leaving the Thundering Company, Aegon took a deep breath and sniffed the air of the city.
The world seems to be heading for chaos, and in that chaos no one can be a savior, only those who can barely protect themselves.
From the moment he faced the Death Knight, he knew this clearly.
If the world develops as he expected, then all he wants is to protect the people he wants to protect, nothing more.
As Tam Kun said to him, he is not a savior, nor is he a protagonist.
He can't save the whole world, he can't guarantee that he will always die, he has people he cares about, so he can't afford to risk it.
What's more, if you want to save the world, first of all, human beings must survive in this troubled world.
But just looking at Sioux City, how huge it is, in this city alone, there are more than 6 million people with household registration, and more than 10 million people live here. In this case, this city alone is too populated and too large.
And the number of troops is very scarce in comparison.
After a period of devastation, the Sioux City army now has just under 50,000 men.
There are only 2,000 mercenaries in the Thundering Company.
There are only a few dozen people who are willing to contribute to the protection of Sioux City.
If you want to protect the city, then in Aegon's opinion, the best way is nothing more than to recruit soldiers and make more civilians into combat force. Or, to narrow the scope of protection, to bring people together to live, to narrow the circle of life to a range that 50,000 soldiers can fully protect.
But such a plan is also basically impossible to do.
First of all, how many people can leave their wives and children at home to join an army that may die at any moment?
More often than they go out on the road, they choose to build communities.
Plant food in the community, build a defensive ring to protect the community, and work with your neighbors to protect their families. Such an option is more appealing than joining the army and running around and not being able to protect your wife and children.
And you can't say they're selfish because they just chose to be there for their family to defend their family.
Therefore, the neighborhoods in Sioux City are now built like fortresses.
But the number of people who joined the Sioux City army was very small. There are even many soldiers who quit their jobs and choose to return to their families to protect them.
Earthquake relief, war, maybe many people will stand up. But in the face of the end of the world, the enemy is the walking dead who will come back from the dead, which is very embarrassing.
As for shrinking the circle of life, no one wants to leave the house they bought, after all, it is not easy to buy a house these days. And, as mentioned above, most of the communities have been built into fortresses, not only with high walls but also with militias.
In such a situation, who would want to leave their house and go to a place where they have to squeeze around with people?
All of this is a problem, a problem of chaos, which makes Aegon feel that at least for now, humanity cannot be saved. As for the reason, it is not that people are reluctant to join the army, nor is it because people are unwilling to leave their homes.
It's because, in this chaos, no matter who you are, you don't know where the future lies.
Once you don't know where to go, you don't know where to go, and you can't be saved until you find your way.
