Chapter 3: The Deceased
Suiyang, an important border town of the Jin Empire, fifty kilometers to the north, was the station of a division of the elite ordinary regiment of the Jin Empire. The neat barracks stretched densely along a distance of two kilometers.
A kilometer north of them. The two healthy horses stopped in place.
Immediately, Chen Changtian's face was solemn. Looking at the watchtower of the garrison. Turning sideways to Ah Jue on the other horse, he said, "Ah Jue, as long as we pass through the garrison and go fifty kilometers to the south, Suiyang will be there. There is an extremely fast air and city suspension maglev system there to easily get back to my home. In the garrison area ahead, you may be able to obtain a temporary identification. When you get home, you can find another way to get a permanent ID. ”
Ah Jue also followed Chen Changtian's gaze and looked at the army watchtower. Ponder for a moment. He asked, "Is there any convenient means of transportation from the garrison to Suiyang? Will the soldiers here embarrass us?"
"There is a lot of transport. All very convenient. As for whether those soldiers will be embarrassed, we don't know. Chen Changtian frowned slightly when he said this. It is a well-known fact that the civil administration system of the empire is not yet **. But the administrative system of the army should be absolutely incorruptible. In addition to numerous shady scenes, traps and intrigues. In terms of the efficiency of the operation of the army and the effectiveness of the operation of the desktop, it is impeccable. This is how he feels. As for whether there was an accident, he does not know.
Ah Duel dismounted. Go ahead.
Chen Changtian also dismounted. Keep up with Ah Duel's footsteps.
The two healthy horses behind them let out two long neighs, as if to see off their master. Then he raised his mane and hurried his hooves. Gone from the dust.
The two walked to the garrison checkpoint at the intersection and stopped.
A soldier watched as the two stopped 3 meters from the barricade. Squinted his eyes stared at Chen Changtian's shabby military uniform. There is also the rank insignia on his uniform. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He stepped forward to Chen Changtian and asked, "Are you from the T82 Battalion?"
Chen Changtian looked at the miniature submachine gun hanging from the soldier's chest and the authenticator he was holding. said: "Yes, my name is Chen Changtian. Any questions?"
"Sir, if your identity is verified, I will be ordered to take you to our battalion headquarters. The soldier replied. At the same time, the verifier in his hand swept Chen Changtian's iris, and then scanned his fingerprints and drew blood to verify the genetic sequence.
Finally, the female voice that did not verify the instrument sounded: "Chen Changtian, male, thirty-eight years old. Others are confidential. My identity is confirmed. ”
"Thank you, Sir, for your cooperation, and please follow me now. The soldier gave Chen Changtian a military salute. Then he motioned to the other soldiers to open the barricade. Take a few steps forward, then turn sideways and make a gesture of please.
Chen Changtian stopped in place. He said to the soldier, "I want to go with my son, but he has no identification." Can you help me figure it out?"
"Sir. The highest level of authority we have is to issue a temporary ID for passers-by for a period of three months. If you need it, I'll do it for you now. The soldier asked without humility or arrogance.
A wry smile appeared on Chen Changtian's face at this time. He didn't know that it was almost impossible for someone like Ah Du to get a permanent resident ID card. But he was willing to try. Three months is not a short period of time. He could probably do a lot of things. So he said, "Thank you then." Then you can do it for him now. ”
"Yes," replied the soldier. started the process of Chen Changtian just now.
It's just that now it's about making the data, and just now it's about validating the data.
As he typed his name, the soldier looked up and asked, "Name?"
"Chen Du. The boy replied affirmatively.
Five minutes later. A beautiful IC ID card appeared in Chen Jie's hand. He stared at the card. All he could see above was his name, gender, ethnicity, age, home address, and status level. But three of them are red numbers that keep jumping. This means that these three items can be changed at any time.
Watch his age keep flashing. He stared at a number. 14 years and 10 months, 25 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes and 7 wonders, he silently thought that he only knew his true age now. Over the past dozen years. He seems to have forgotten that there is such a thing as age.
There is also a flashing red font for status ranks. On it, there are four words that have been beating unchanged - sixth class untouchable.
The last item that flashed with text was the home address. This is Chen Changtian's home address.
Chen Changtian watched patiently as Chen Jue carefully put the identity certificate in his pocket. He didn't understand why Chen Jue would look at a small identification document like this.
Sir, can we go?" the soldier said politely to Chen Changtian. The face is tepid. But there was a hint of surprise in his eyes from time to time. That was the expression on his face when he looked at Chen Jie.
Lead the way. Chen Changtian said. At the same time, he motioned for Chen Jue to follow him.
Five minutes later, the three of them arrived in front of a small and delicate room. A tall soldier stood in front of the door. A Karan's military uniform set off his straight frame.
"Fang Ping,"
"Long days. ”
The two men called each other's names and hugged each other tightly.
A hug that only exists between two men. It was the embracement of the iron-blooded man.
"Fang Ping. I'll just guess you're here. This is the number of your troops. Chen Changtian said and slammed a punch into the soldier's chest.
"Tiedan, don't call Brother Changtian soon. Fang Ping shouted at the soldier who had brought them over just now. The eyes were so smiling that they could barely see.
"Is this Wang Tiedan?your youngest brother?" Chen Changtian asked in surprise, "He was only 6 years old when I last saw him. I should be 24 years old now, right? Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Changtian sighed and shook his head. Reach out and hold Wang Tiedan, and watch left and right.
Chen Jue watched all this silently. He could imagine what it was like to reunite his old comrades-in-arms after a long absence.
"Oh. This is my righteous son, Chen Jie. After a while, Chen Chang only remembered Chen Jue who was standing on the side. So he hurriedly introduced Chen Du to the two of them.
"Hello. Lad. Let's go in and say. Wang Fangping stretched out his big hand and grabbed Chen Jie, and walked into the room first. Tie Dan and Chen Changtian also walked in.
In the center of the small room is a large iron pot. There was a red soup stock tumbling inside.
"Come and talk while we eat. Wang Fangping pulled Chen Du to sit down. At the same time, he greeted Chen Changtian.
After a while. Wang Fangping put down his chopsticks and said to Chen Changtian: "Brother, you may be in big trouble this time." I don't know when these things will happen to me?"
"Is it because my whole army was wiped out this time?" Chen Changtian asked indifferently. When he mentioned this, his mood immediately sank to the bottom. He didn't know if there was some conspiracy in this. All he knew was that the operation was very tragic. There are a lot of strange things in this. If he goes back this time, he will not be executed by a court-martial. That would spend the rest of his life figuring out the answer to that question. Avenge the unexplained death of his brothers.
"This is one of them. The most important thing is that our former commander, General Lee, was found to have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and he was secretly executed three days ago. The troops destroyed this time are all his descendants. I suspect that there is a great conspiracy against General Li's former old commander, Zhao Yang, the Eastern Minister. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wang Fangping said as he slammed his big fist against his head. It's like trying to get these worries out of your brain.
"Well, it's a pity for my good brothers. Our position is too low to affect the situation. It seems that we have to resign ourselves to fate. But once I had the chance. Be sure to find out the culprit. Even if I can't avenge my brothers. I also want to do my part for the souls of my brothers. Chen Changtian's big fist also slammed on the table.
Chen Jue ate silently. It was as if all he had in his eyes was the beef and mutton tumbling up and down in the soup pot.
Wang Fangping looked at Chen Jue. Asked loudly, "Little brother." How did you meet my big brother?"
Chen Jue put down his chopsticks. looked at Wang Fangping with a serious attitude and said, "I pulled my stepfather out of the pile of dead." Saved him. That's how we met. ”
"Yes. He was an orphan who had wandered to the steppe of Ingla seven years earlier. Met the Wolf King. I heard that they also became friends. This time, in order to save me, he had to leave the wolves. So I'm going to take him. I'm also going to get you an official ID for him. This temporary ID card of yours can only allow people to live in the Jin Empire for three months. A second temporary identity card can only be applied for after the previous year. This one is too much trouble. Chen Changtian interjected and came in. I want Wang Fangping to think of a way for him.
"Big brother, it's not that you don't know. It is simply impossible to get an official identity certificate of the Jin Empire. Unless he can get into the naturalization training camp. Get enough votes. But in our country's long history, only a few tens of thousands of people have succeeded in obtaining official identification in this way. The success rate is less than 1 in 10,000. Wang Fangping sighed.
Then. Suddenly, a crisp gunshot rang out outside. Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
As two veterans. Wang Fangping and Chen Changtian immediately judged that the shot came from a sniper rifle without a muffler. And the sound of a heavy object falling is the sound of a person's body falling from a high place.
Wang Fangping was in a hurry, this was a secret guard he arranged. was actually discovered and sniped on the spot.
Then there was a jumble of footsteps outside. There was also the sound of bolts being pulled.
Wang Fangping and Chen Changtian were about to stand up. Suddenly, they all felt the world spinning.
Didn't drink today. But they fell to the ground as if they were drunk. At the same time fainted.
Thirty or forty heavily armed soldiers appeared at the door. They didn't rush in. Just standing at the door, their black hole muzzles were all aimed at Chen Jue and the two who fell to the ground.
Chen Jue didn't make any other moves, he just continued to pick up the chopsticks he had just put down. He began to eat the contents of the soup pot again.
Wang Tiedan, who was sitting opposite him, was also quietly drinking a cup of tea. He never touched a single chopstick or anything in the big iron pot. At this time, he put down the teacup and looked at Chen Du carefully. There are no words.
Under the gaze of Tie Dan, Chen Jue continued to make a large chunk of Duoying without paying attention. As if those dozens of muzzles didn't exist.
Tie Dan looked at Chen Du again and again. Finally shook his head. He asked in a low voice, "Why do you eat so much and nothing at all?"
Chen Jue pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "What's so strange about this. Lao Tzu likes to eat this kind of thing. You've been staring at me. Don't you know that it's rude? Can you tell anything from my face? Am I good-looking? Haha, but I don't think the soup pot tastes good with it. ”
"Hehe, it looks like I met a freak today. I'm interested in torturing you freak, though. Tie Dan said lightly. It seems that everything is under his control.
Chen Jue did not continue to answer. He was still dealing with the meat in the soup pot with extreme seriousness. As a man who has lived in the grassland for a long time. Meat is a must for them.
At this time, the fire was still very strong, and the soup pot in the big iron pot continued to roll up and down.
The white vapor was steaming, and the aroma filled the room, and even the fragrance wafted out of the room and spread farther away.
Wang Tiedan continued to pick up his tea and sipped it gently. He seemed to be very happy with the state he was in. It's been half a year since he graduated from college. He felt that he had done a good job this time. Now it's almost done. All it takes is his command. The little one across from him would surely turn into a big sieve in no time.
Perhaps enjoying the process is more important than valuing the result.
At the moment he was enjoying the process. It's like a hunter watching his prey slowly struggle to die in his trap. It's like a farmer earnestly admiring the heavy ears of rice in his field.
When Chen Du finished eating the last piece of beef in the soup pot. Slowly stand up. Step by step around the large round table. Walked in front of Wang Tiedan. Look directly at him.
Behind it are dozens of black hole muzzles.
Wang Tiedan saw Chen Jue who was gradually approaching him. His pupils began to constrict. Because he sensed a kind of danger.
He wanted to raise his hand and give the order to kill the boy. He wanted to command loudly.
But he felt like his whole body was losing strength. Lost voice. Lost all the ability to act.
Chen Jue looked at this legendary pig and dog who was not as good as the guy. He had not heard of pigs and dogs betraying their owners. But this man betrayed his own eldest brother.
When Chen Jue finally walked in front of Wang Tiedan's eyes, Wang Tiedan was already on the ground like a puddle of soft mud. His brain is clear, but his hands and feet are weak. Even the strength to support his body has been completely lost.
He couldn't move, and he couldn't make a sound out of his mouth. He could only look at the person in front of him with infinite grief. The boy had a harmless face. There was even a bright, somewhat seductive smile on his face.
Chen Jue looked at the man who was in the subway. Squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Isn't it a sense of accomplishment to betray your relatives?"
Wang Tiedan couldn't speak, just looked at the soldier at the door with his eyes.
At a glance, his heart was even more cold,
Thirty-six soldiers stood there in the same motion, looking dazed. The muzzle of the gun in the hand was still pointed in their direction.
As a member of the "Dark Light", known as the largest killer organization in the Jin Empire. He knew exactly what was going on now.
Capsizing in the gutter is not something that everyone has the best chance of encountering.
He had good luck.
Chen Jue continued to look at him. It's like studying a specimen.
He was a studious man. On the grassland, he dissected countless birds, beasts, and reptiles. Both their organs and their nerves and blood vessels have been carefully separated and reorganized by him countless times. He is familiar with the structure and operation of each object. This is his greatest hobby besides killing. Or even a paranoid incorrigible hobby.
This hobby extends to every aspect of his life. A whole new horizon for him.
But he only lacked a deep understanding of the material basis of spirituality. This is one of his regrets. After all, there are not so many perverted people in the steppe.
This is a fine specimen. The study of extreme and typical cases is a shortcut to a large amount of first-hand material. It's his common sense.
At this moment, he was looking at the young man in front of him enthusiastically. Excitement flickered in his eyes. But in the blink of an eye, it quickly extinguished. He seemed to have something more important in mind.
Walked back to Chen Changtian and Wang Fangping's side. At this moment, both of them opened their eyes. They were looking at the scene in front of them with infinite amazement.
Chen Jue stared at the two of them, and said to the two of them helplessly: "It seems that you have indeed caused a lot of trouble, what kind of threat made your relatives betray you?"
The two were speechless. Standing up silently, their eyes full of gratitude and curiosity for Chen Jie.
Chen Jue walked back in front of Wang Tiedan again. He stared at the young man with a blank face but not the slightest fear. Turning sideways to Chen Changtian and Wang Fangping, he said, "Do you need to know more things? If not, I think it's time for me to leave." ”
Chen Changtian could hear this. Biting his lip, he said, "I want to know more." After that, it's time for us to leave. He said the word "we" very emphatically. Something seems to be being emphasized. This is the third time this boy has given him a chance to be born again. He thought he would never be able to repay this favor in his life. Not everyone can afford the favor of three lives.
Wang Fangping nodded. For battle-hardened men. Being able to afford to put it down has become one of their survival guidelines on the battlefield.
Chen Jue slowly squatted down and looked squarely at Wang Tiedan, who was lying on the ground with a face like ashes. Stars began to swell in his eyes. Flickering and hovering around the two of them.
