Chapter 48: The Veteran

There are 147 hours left until the xenomorph descends.

Yun Ze carried six upgrade fruits in his arms, and did not return to the Zhenhai Dragon Vein, but was called to the headquarters of the Heavenly Selection Bureau by Lao Guyi.

It is said that there is something important to discuss.

As soon as he walked to the conference room, he saw nearly 100 middle-aged men in military uniforms sitting in the conference room.

Yun Ze spotted what they had in common at a glance...... Physical disability.

Some have broken arms, some have missing legs, and some are even in wheelchairs, and the lower half of their bodies are completely gone.

None of the mildest disabilities here can be recovered by escalating.

When Yun Ze saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning, vaguely guessing something, but he didn't dare to be sure.

"Xiaoyun."

Lao Gu was on the conference room at this time, and he beckoned to Yun Ze: "Come up and meet the veterans." ”

"Yes."

Yun Ze walked to the front of the stage, looked at the group of veterans in front of him but didn't know what to say, only Lizheng saluted them.

The veterans can return the salute, but if they can't, they can only respond to Yun Ze with their eyes.

"What's going on now?"

Although Yun Ze guessed something, he still didn't dare to be sure before he was confirmed by Lao Gu.

"Here's the thing......"

Lao Gu sighed and explained the decision of the Heavenly Selection Bureau.

The ninth dragon vein!

Now that the eight dragon veins have all been promoted to the second level, only the last dragon vein is still the first level, if there are no xenomorphs emerging from the cracks in the future, then hundreds of millions of people will be abandoned by the large army, and the promotion will not be above level ten.

It is impossible for the Heavenly Election Bureau not to have a way to solve it, and these people in front of them are one of the solutions.

Take longevity as a sacrifice, or even a human sacrifice.

Their current bodies can't be recovered, not to mention the hundreds of people in front of them, even if they use the lifespan of thousands of people to exchange for hundreds of millions of ten-level people, they will all make money!

Another way is to blow open the crack one more time and release the xenos inside.

But no one knew if the xenomorphs released were level 10 or level 20, but they didn't dare to bet.

Therefore, after the method and announcement of the selection bureau to raise the level of the dragon vein were issued, some disabled veterans voluntarily applied to the Heavenly Selection Bureau and agreed to sacrifice their longevity and sacrifice their ten-year life to the dragon vein.

And the Heavenly Election Bureau will also give them huge compensation, martyrs subsidies, and priority allocation of resources.

If this sounds ugly, this is buying life!

"Who came up with this solution!"

Yun Ze pulled Lao Gu over, leaned into a corner and frowned and asked, "Isn't this a life!" ”

"The Election Board Committee."

Lao Gu spread his hands helplessly: "Do you think that I am the master of the Heavenly Election Bureau alone?" ”

“…… So are they really all voluntary? Yun Ze was silent for a while, this matter has progressed to this point, if he comes forward to stop it, maybe he will be complained by these veterans.

What you love and I want, even if it is to buy a life, it is also for the sake of righteousness, and Yun Ze does not make sense to say that it is heavenly.

"You can rest assured that this is absolutely voluntary."

"It's not okay to be voluntary!"

Yun Ze frowned and said, "Old Gu, they can buy their lives for the dragon vein level now, so what about in the future?" ”

"What if someone thinks that the second-level dragon vein is not enough, and wants to use the same method to upgrade to the third-level dragon vein?"

"Such an opening must not be opened! Otherwise, Yan Huang will have no wounded soldiers in the future, only sacrifices! ”

The more Yun Ze spoke, the more excited he became, and Lao Gu had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder: "Xiaoyun, calm down, I know the situation you said, but now...... Hurry up and do the right thing! ”

"After that......"

"The rest will depend on you!"

Lao Gu interrupted Yun Ze, stared at his eyes and said, "Xiaoyun, now you have the right to speak, but it is far from enough.

If you don't want this to happen again, you have to master more power than you have now! So that what you say, they can hear in their hearts and make them not think about similar things!

Do you see what I mean? ”

Yun Ze nodded silently, he didn't know what to say now.

Now the strength is not enough, perhaps...... It's enough to get the Dinghai God Needle and upgrade to level 20, right?

Lao Gu patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, time is pressing, let's go quickly." ”

"Wait."

Yun Ze didn't set off in a hurry, but turned his head to look at the group of veterans: "Old squad leaders, I still have to ask you a question before leaving."

Do you know what you're going to do later? ”

He stared at the group of people in front of him, as long as they hesitated a little, or regretted it, Yun Ze would find a way to let them go back.

Isn't it a sacrifice? He'll figure it out again!

If you don't have it at home, can you still have it abroad? It's a big deal to rob the rich and help the poor for the sake of a community with a shared future for mankind!

But......

The reaction of the group of veterans in front of him made him a little incredulous.

They didn't make the slightest sound, but looked at Yun Ze with the same eyes.

He had seen this kind of look in the eyes of his teammates, exactly the same as the look they had when they ran under the wolf's claws!

Firm, fearless, resolute, and indomitable!

Really...... Yan Huang is Yan Huang!

Even if you forget the heritage of the past, the pride engraved in your bones and the fearlessness imprinted in your blood are still there!

Veteran veteran, no matter how old he is, he is still a soldier! It's a warrior of Yanhuang!

"I see."

Yun Ze spit out four words, stood up and saluted everyone again, and led them to march towards the ninth dragon vein.

According to the calculation of the contribution of the previous dragon veins, after a dragon vein awakens the node, it will take about 10,000 mythical sacrifices to upgrade to the next level.

There are a hundred veterans here, each of whom sacrifices ten years of life, which is almost enough to fill a dragon vein.

After arriving at the dragon vein, Yun Ze first asked them to wait outside the node for a while, and after calling the altar out, he brought them in.

The veterans had very few words, and after sacrificing about ninety people, the dragon vein had already risen to the second level.

The veterans who had already sacrificed breathed a sigh of relief, while the veterans who had not yet made sacrifices frowned.

Yun Ze didn't draw the lottery at the first time, but walked in front of everyone: "Everyone, the dragon vein level has been raised, everyone can go back."

On behalf of the Heavenly Selection Bureau and the people of Wangshan Dragon Vein, I would like to thank you. ”

"Wait!"

A deep voice rang out.

Yun Ze looked in the direction where the voice came from, it was a veteran with both arms cut off, and he remembered that he was one of the few people who did not participate in the sacrifice.

"Cloud team, this dragon vein can still be sacrificed now, right? Can you add me another one? Soon! ”

"That's right! Add me one more! Another veteran who had not participated in the sacrifice stepped forward.

Although the other veterans who did not participate in the sacrifice did not speak, their eyes were staring at Yun Ze in unison, and their thoughts were the same as those just now.

"Lao Wang, you ......"

"Shut up! If you want to return me as a brother, don't stop me! ”

A veteran was just about to speak, but was scolded back by Lao Wang, and his eyes seemed to eat the other party.

Lao Wang then looked at Yun Ze again, his eyes full of pleading: "Team Yun, look...... Okay? ”

"Is it because of those subsidies?"

Yun Ze looked at the entire plan on the plane, and at the same time knew what the specific subsidies were.

Not to mention the extra points in the college entrance examination, the subsidy also includes the housing problem of the families of the martyrs, ensuring the allocation of a set of real estate inside the dragon vein, as well as the priority allocation of different experience resources and various materials.

The conditions are very good, but ...... That's a 10-year lifespan!

Everyone says that they are exchanging their lives for money now, but when you really encounter this kind of thing, you go to someone and ask, how many people are willing to exchange ten years of life for these things outside the body?

"Team Cloud, you don't know."

Lao Wang lowered his head as he spoke, and the afterglow fell on the two broken arms: "I was disabled about seven years ago, and after I came back from the army, the old lady in my family took care of me for seven years." ”

"She takes care of me while going to work, and she worries about everything in the family, I'm really useless as a man!"

"Except for the money I got from the army, I really didn't pay anything to this family."

"Fortunately, I have this opportunity, if I don't participate in the sacrifice, I can only continue to be a waste person after I go back."

"It's just ten years of life, if I can do something for this family and this country, what is this waste ten years?"

"You can do it, just let me be less of a waste for the past ten years, okay?"

Yun Ze paused.

He had thought about the reasons for the veterans to do this, but he had never thought of that.

“…… I can say that you participated in the sacrifice. Yun Ze said after being silent for a while.

In addition to the veteran and him, there is only Xiao Chuan, who is also from the military, so he should be able to understand.

"No way!"

Lao Wang immediately spit out two words, frowning and looking at Yun Ze: "Team Yun, I didn't hear what you just said."

Now civilization is in danger, although we have selfish intentions, we cannot take advantage of civilization! If we can sacrifice, we will have a clear conscience with those things, but if we can't, we will be sorry to take those benefits! ”

"Yes, Team Cloud, you can fulfill us!"

"Cloud team, Lao Wang, what they said is right, anyway, the dragon vein is also going to be upgraded, just a few more of us, it doesn't matter."

"Cloud Team ......"

"Alright."

Yun Ze interrupted everyone, why hadn't he seen them talk so much before.

He walked towards the plane without looking back, and a trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in everyone's eyes, thinking that he had refused.

But when Yun Ze was about to board the plane, his voice came from behind everyone again.

"Xiaochuan, I'll leave it to you here, I was so tired last night that I fell asleep on the plane and didn't know anything."

“…… Be! ”

Gu Liuchuan was silent for a while, and after understanding what Yun Ze meant, he walked towards the veterans: "Everyone, I'm just a layman, I don't know when the dragon vein will be upgraded.

After your sacrifice is over, I'll wake up the cloud team and let him see if the dragon vein has been upgraded, can you see it? ”

"Okay!"

Lao Wang answered, rushed straight to the altar, and began to sacrifice.

Yun Ze lay on the seat, looking at the last prize in the lottery box in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Dinghaishen needle.

The name fits, the place also fits, or wait until the Zhenhai dragon vein is back and then draw it, and it is not necessary to say what BUFF can be triggered at that time.
