The Great Rift Valley, City of Origin.

A bright silver aircraft slowly landed on the spacious tarmac with a pale blue arc of light.

Compared to the flower-filled settlements of the wasteland, this settlement nestled deep in the valley looks unimpressive.

A majestic gate spans the middle of the valley, and the rock wall behind the gate is lined with rows of houses, and a glass curtain wall that can not be seen as far as the eye can see is shrouded in the top of the slope.

The people who live here are like hermits in seclusion, they walk in a hurry, they are cloaked, and their expressions are not shocked, and they cannot tell whether they are pious or solemn or numb.

The survivors living in the Great Rift Valley, like the Great Rift, are mostly indifferent to what happens outside of the Holy Shield.

Unless, when it's time for them to fulfill the old covenant.

And now is the time.

Escorted by a group of soldiers, the aged and majestic King of the Lion Kingdom slowly walked off the tarmac.

He was accompanied by a graceful and graceful queen, followed by a group of young girls in the prime of cardamom.

The thin light veil covered their immature and beautiful faces, and it could be seen that they were all first-class beauties.

Those people were both his court ladies and his ornaments.

At Charlie Lion's age, it's hard enough to talk about pleasure.

The dazzling array of gold ornaments clanged with his unsteady footsteps, and the Power Armor Rift Warriors, dressed in high-tech parts, acted as if they hadn't seen it.

They don't care about anything else and are only responsible for the safety of the attendees.

Absek, who was standing not far away, looked at the old king, especially at the palace maids who were warblers and swallows, and said with some envy on his face.

"This old man is quite blessed."

If Duvata were here, he would not be able to move his legs.

Just as Absec was sighing in his heart, a voice from the side interrupted his thoughts.

“…… I heard that the Lion Kingdom has not been peaceful recently. ”

"Oh?" Absek raised his eyebrows with interest, and when he looked back, he saw a tall man in a formal suit looking at him with a smile.

Absec recognized the face, and this man was the mayor of the Free State.

Although the Free State is only a settlement, and the population is not yet as strong as the port of Golden Gallon in Borneo, these people can stand in the province of the river valley where the demons are dancing, and they can be called a strong party.

Casting his gaze at the aging lion in the distance, Otto squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"The ministers wanted to make the eldest son the prince, and the people supported Hal. If it weren't for the fact that the alliance had stationed a force in the area, I'm afraid they would have beaten out all their brains. ”

Hearing these news, Absec instantly understood why the old king was traveling with such a large group of harems.

This is not an escape from the heat in the aftermath of the Great Rift Valley.

"Hal...... Is that the founder of the Daily Survivor? ”

"That's right." Mayor Odo smiled faintly, "Few people know that the Workers' Association originated from the Daily Survivors, and due to the suppression of the newspaper by the nobles of the inner city, a group of newly literate laborers decided to renew the newspaper...... I'm using an inappropriate analogy of a fool who stepped on a cockroach with his foot and thought he was at ease, but now the whole wasteland is full of cockroaches. ”

In contrast, the Flint Group is much more sophisticated.

They will not suppress the voice of progress like those feudal lords who have never seen the world, but will take the initiative to create the voice of progress, and let the citizens of the Free State drown in a sea of data constructed by fragmented information.

This is actually the reason why they look down on Boulder City.

The aristocrats there are still in the first layer, and they have just understood the truth that "poverty and wealth can coexist", and they have not yet realized that "ignorance and knowledge can also coexist".

And the shareholders of the Free State are already standing in the atmosphere.

Not only can they make fuel both poor and rich, but they can also make fuel both astronomical and geographically knowledgeable, and they can treasure some ridiculously stupid and ridiculous theories.

It's stupid......

But Otto couldn't laugh when he laughed.

Because this is one of the reasons why the Flint Group is able to call an elite like him like a dog.

Although it is not known why the Mr. Otto has collapsed, Absec still has a high emotional intelligence to shift the topic from the Daily Survivor to the "old and strong" Charlie Lion.

"But why did he push Hal to the stage? From his point of view, it wasn't a smart idea, not even our Wutuo wouldn't do it. ”

He never did, it was Hal who showed his face intentionally or unintentionally, and then the Kingdom reformers pushed him to the forefront...... This is a typical case of shooting yourself in the foot. ”

Looking at the humble and studious Borneo leader, Odo continued eloquently.

"At that time, the old king thought that he had too many sons, and sent them to explore the wasteland, but in fact, it was only to relieve the burden on the eldest son...... Unexpectedly, his most inconspicuous youngest son, Hal, did bring back a great treasure. ”

Absec sighed.

"Do you have no intention of planting willows and willows...... I've heard that in the old era, navigators discovered that the New World also originated from a commercial scam about the province of Borneo. ”

"Haha, there's such a thing! Although I guess he must regret it, he is old, and the future is not up to an old man who is dying. Otto laughed and made a joke, then stretched out his right hand and finally introduced himself formally, "Mayor of the Free State, Otto." Fortunately, Lord Absek, Commander of Borneo, you are as talented as the rumors. ”

"Haha, fortunately!" Absek, flattered, took his outstretched hand and lowered his head.

This is a purely knee-jerk reaction.

After all, a year ago, he was a dock worker in Westsail Harbor, and it was impossible for him to talk and laugh with the mayor of the Free State, let alone stand with so many talented people to discuss the future of the wasteland.

However, Otto did not embarrass him, and bowed his head slightly, and patted him on the shoulder with his left hand.

"You know what? You have a temperament that is very similar to a person, although you are completely different people in terms of personality and appearance, and your pattern and position are also different. ”

Glancing at Otto gratefully, Absec lifted his head and regained his usual calm posture.

"Who?"

Raising his head as well, Otto said with a smile.

"Sigma, CEO and Chairman of the Flint Group, the true owner of the Free State."

The true masters of the Free State......

Absec pondered the words, but Odo did not explain, and shook his right hand one last time, and then said goodbye with a smile.

"Come on, I can see that your future is bright! The war is coming to an end, and we are quite optimistic about your development after that, and we wish you a speedy one. ”

On this rare occasion, he can't waste his time on one person, and he has to hook up with several people.

For example, King Montgot of the Falcon Kingdom is getting off the plane.

Recently, the Eastern Empire is preparing to build a new development zone in the southwest corner of Luoxia Province, and the Falcon Kingdom should have a good development in the future, so maybe he can negotiate a few more overseas orders for the company in the Free State.

Looking at the back of Otto calmly leaving, Absec couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

That's what a ruler should look like.

My mud legs are really a little less interesting.

However, he is not presumptuous, the so-called situation creates heroes, the birth of a capable person, the time and the situation are indispensable.

What the current Borneo country needs is people like him, so he packed up Yanush and became the commander...... Even if the means he uses are not honorable.

Perhaps when the Wasteland Era is over, when he becomes an old man like Charlie Lion, there should be a "professional commander" in Borneo who is not inferior to Odo.

This person will definitely be much stronger than himself who can only fight and manipulate power, and no matter how bad it is, there will be no reappearance of a Wu Tuo who only understands the latter and knows nothing else.

That person will take the Borneo people to a better future.

For a moment, Absec suddenly didn't want to be emperor so much, especially after seeing the "rich and poor" Charlie Lion.

Compared to that kind of guy, there are actually more decent ways to live in this world.

Dreams change.

Standing at the pinnacle of his life, Absec couldn't help but be full of ambition, and even had the idea of chatting with Rassi.

It's a pity that that guy can't get out of the front line, so he just sent his henchman, the leader of the stormtrooper, Shava.

"If only Lassi were here, it's a shame I couldn't have a drink with him."

Internal Affairs Councilor Wadia, who was following Absec, shook his head and said in confusion.

"I don't know what Lassi thinks, he actually missed such a good opportunity."

"Eh, you can't say that, as the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions," Absec said with a smile, "I remember that the alliance has a romance book, which talks about the Chu and Han struggles for hegemony." This Lassi is like the overlord of Chu, who is also a king and a general, and it is natural that he is indispensable on the front line. And I, what kind of state, my subordinates are like clouds, wisdom is like rain, and there is me and no self...... You see, it's still easy for me to win against him. ”

Where is this......

Looking at the general who was running the train with his mouth, Vadia smiled bitterly.

He'd read it.

After all, as an internal committee member, it is also a matter of duty to understand the preferences of the Grand President.

However, it is really not a good thing to use the theory of "romance" to govern a large force of survivors.

After a pause, Vadia said.

"Do you want to divide the river with him?"

Absec squinted and smiled.

"Take a step back, they want to deal with the flooding of the Tasan River, so they have to borrow half of the bird state and the sheep state. Whether this is an excuse or not, it is not impossible for the three northern states to let him half. When the time comes, let the Borneo vote with their feet, and it is better to go north to the north and south than to run outside to stop some train, so that people can see all the jokes. ”

The battle between hypocrites and real villains is about to begin.

Not surprisingly, thinking that "harmony is precious", he should be holding the card "hypocrite".

Whether it's hypocritical or cowardly, let future generations judge him, anyway, he really doesn't want to fight anymore.

Can Wendou or Wendou.

Enough of them have died......

The average age of Tiandu has dropped by 10 years, and they have fought to the extent that even the child soldiers go to the battlefield to fill in the line, if this is a fight, it will not be a "Chu and Han hegemony", but a story after that - "Wei and Jin Sixteen Kingdoms".

Although Commissioner Kabaha always criticized him for "not learning and not knowing", Absec was actually studying.

And he is also half an "alliance expert", and many of the books he reads are bought from Dawning City.

Even if many of them are.

Hearing the Grand Commander's decision, Vadia had mixed feelings.

He always felt that if he wanted to fight, it would not be difficult to pinch Lassi to death.

No matter how strong that person is, he is still a person.

Moreover, within the Mammoth Country, there is also the patriarch of the Moon Tribe's resistance army, the opposition force that has been at odds with Lassi since the time of Wutuo.

Those people are also a political force.

Although they are now suppressed by Lassi and his stormtroopers, and their ambitions are suppressed by the invasion of the Southern Army, it is hard to say whether Lassi will be able to hold them down if the foreign war turns into a civil war.

What about being backed by an alliance?

After fighting the Southern Legion for so long, who doesn't have a bit of an alliance background?

Speaking of seniority, when the Moon Clan and the Alliance wore a pair of pants, he Lassi was still eating the whip of the slave owner in the port of Golden Gallen! Moreover, because of the Mammoth's stance on labor and his proximity to the conservatives of the Union, Lassi has always been unpopular with the radicals of the Union.

But they are different.

Both the radicals and conservatives in the alliance are sympathetic to Borneo for their own positions.

It is precisely because of this that their odds of winning are actually very good.

However, he could also understand Absek's thoughts, that the Borneo nation needed time to recuperate, and that the Borneo people should live in peace for a while.

Vadia said with a smile.

"That's right...... When we build the whole of Borneo into the port of Golden Gallen, I am afraid that the survivors on the north bank of the Tasan River will cry and shout and beg to come to work with us, and even ten Rasi will not be able to stop them! ”

"Haha!" Thinking of that interesting picture, Absec also laughed, "When the time comes, we will mount the cannon on the shore, if those bastards dare to shoot at the Brahmen, we will be famous for doing them again!" ”

The two were talking, and there was another roar on the tarmac.

This time it was not the Rift Valley aircraft that landed, but the Coalition's vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

They seem to have improved the "Overlord" transport aircraft, transforming the fixed wing into a movable wing with adjustable direction, just like the "Killer Whale" transport aircraft with a pair of wings and engines, and the tonnage, load and cruising range have been improved by leaps and bounds compared with the latter!

The alliance named it "Kunpeng"!

Absec happened to know the meaning of the word, but what made him even more excited was the figure that stepped out of the plane.

Chu Guang!

Managers of the Alliance!

Exoskeleton-clad guards crowded around him, all of whom were said to be Awakened!

Not only that, I often heard that Chu Guang himself also had the strength of an Awakened Person, and he could even support the power armor with only his physical body.

Looking at the man, who was much younger than he had imagined, Absec involuntarily held his breath, his eyes shining eagerly.

He'd wanted to visit this wasteland legend a long time ago, but he never had the chance to meet him.

Now this wish can be regarded as fulfilled!

……

At this moment, Chu Guang didn't know that there was such a little fan brother standing in the crowd not far away, after all, there were too many eyes focused on him.

There is the old king of the lion kingdom, the brother of the little honey badger princess Aphne, and the king of the falcon kingdom, Montgot, and even the mayor of the Free State, Odo, the speaker of the garbage city...... And a lot of people he'd only met at the Adhesive Community meeting, or none at all.

These people, or the forces behind them, have been influenced by him to a greater or lesser extent.

Both good and bad.

Although the pomp and circumstance were not very high-profile, the Rift Valley still gave a lot of face to the survivors in the wasteland, and they invited everyone they thought was necessary.

And the major survivor forces are also quite face-saving, even some of the leaders of the survivor forces who are reluctant to show their faces on weekdays have chosen to send their henchmen or stand here in person.

After all, with the Great Rift Valley and the Holy Shield as a guarantee, they don't have to worry about their safety going wrong.

In addition, Origin City is also the earliest survivor settlement in the wasteland.

As the headquarters of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, it is also a great place to visit. If you can have a good relationship with a few big brothers and get some help back, then you can't just take off on the spot?

The vast majority of representatives of small and medium-sized survivor forces or heads of state think so.

It was precisely because of this that the way they looked at Chu Guang was like looking at a walking gold mine!

Regardless of what the wasteland guests thought, Chu Guang, who was used to seeing big scenes, was very calm, and there were not too many waves in his heart, he just waved his hand at those who were looking at him, and then calmly walked to the tarmac.

A soldier in power armor walked up to him and bowed slightly.

"We've got a room for you, and your subordinates have inspected it, so please come with us."

Chu Guang nodded.

"Take me there."

Representatives of the enterprise and the academy have not yet arrived, and several "former captains" who may or may not come have not shown up, and there is no point in him staying here.

Glancing around the scene, Chu Guang didn't see anyone he particularly wanted to see, so he instructed Cheng Yan who was following him to stay and socialize with the other survivor force representatives present, and he took the guards to follow the soldiers of the Great Rift Valley to the accommodation.

But just as he was about to leave, a young man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and walked up to him with a warm smile.

"Dear Mr. Manager, you are indeed here, haha, we meet again!"

That fanatical expression is like seeing a fan of a celebrity, or like a believer seeing the true God.

Chu Guang looked at him, feeling familiar, but it was a little different from his impression, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he couldn't help but hesitate to open his mouth.

"You ......"

The man didn't care, and said with a toothy grin.

"I'm Xiao Zhou, Zhou Xianlin! You are really a noble person, I also gave you a cart of gold before, just at the celebration of the victory of the war in Luoxia Province! ”

A carload of gold ...... Is there such a thing?

Chu Guang looked at this young man with a confused expression.

I remember that the Golden Lizard Kingdom made a statue of itself out of the melted dinar, which is now on display in the display case of the Aurora Museum.

He really couldn't remember what kind of gift Dam City gave at the time, after all, this Dam City didn't appear as often as Garbage City at the Sticky Community meeting.

However, this little fan brother ran the train with his mouth full, but he remembered the name Zhou Xianlin.

This person is the son of Zhou Changxiao, the lord of Dam City, and the name of the family is Wen Crepe.

As for Dam City, it is a surviving colony of the Prancing Horse Province, with a population of six or seven hundred thousand.

At the celebration of victory, the young man took him by the hand and praised him, and also claimed to transform Dam City into a Dam Alliance, uniting the survivors around Dam City.

At that time, Chu Guang saw the fanaticism in his eyes, and advised him to take it easy, not to blindly learn from the experience of the alliance, there are some things that can be referenced, but they can't be copied.

Looking at it now, this guy is still alive and well, and I think he should have listened to his words.

With a relieved smile on his face, Chu Guang stretched out his hand to stop the Great Rift Valley soldier who wanted to pull that person away, and said with a pleasant face.

"I remember, it's been a long time...... Did your dad send you this time? ”

Zhou Xianlin smiled embarrassedly.

"Not really, I killed that old man."

Chu Guang: "......?" ”

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, this Xiao Zhou continued in a colorful voice.

"That Lao Deng sent me to the alliance to learn experience, and scolded me for not learning well, just thinking about the loser all day long, and wanted my eldest brother to be the city lord. Then how can I let him? I'll learn from your experience, pull the scavengers inside and outside the city of Dam City to unite, and kill all the people around Lao Deng, as well as my big brother who has no interest. ”

"Oh, and the marauders he keeps out there are scattered too, so they're no match for us at all. I heard that many people fled to Haiya Province, hehe, it seems to have caused you some trouble. ”

Chu Guang was speechless for a while.

Xiao Qi, who had been silent, couldn't help but whisper in his ear.

"This is too filial."

The index finger pressed the center of his eyebrows, and Chu Guang asked incomprehensibly.

"That'...... But what about waste pickers? They allow you to continue to be the lord of the city? ”

Zhou Xianlin smiled and continued shyly.

"Isn't that right? I killed all the people who had ideas, and they liked me and said I was their savior! Although I tell them that I am nothing, you are the real sun in the wasteland...... Anyway, now I'm the leader of the Dam Alliance, but the trouble is, I'm a little confused, and I don't know what to do next. The people of the Rift Valley say you're coming, and I'll come with you, and you have to teach me. ”

Looking at this demon who didn't know if he was really crazy or pretending to be crazy, Chu Guang sighed.

"If you're willing to listen to me, go and bury your dad first."

Zhou Xianlin's expression froze, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well, that's kind of hard...... I've lifted all the ashes up to him. ”

Chu Guang: "......"

Just when Chu Guang didn't know what to say, a vicissitudes and majestic voice came from not far away.

"Mr. Manager, I'm glad you came over ......"

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
