Chapter 13: The world is bright, and the fire is not extinguished

At present, the entire Yishan has been completely blocked under the pretext of military exercises.

After Ye Zhiqiang showed his documents to the officers and soldiers of the blockade, he was able to take the others deep into the mountains.

There will be officers and soldiers intervening here, which made Zhao Qi feel a little surprised.

This was not mentioned in previous news reports.

"We were half an hour late, and that's not the style of the State Secret Service at all."

Ye Zhiqiang, who has always followed the rules, showed a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Mr. Zhao, I hope these things you took the time to prepare will be useful."

"It doesn't matter if you're late, and it's useless to have some things coming early. The right time, the right place and the right people are indispensable, this is the wisdom left by the ancestors. ”

The dialogue between the two completely shows two completely different personalities.

Ye Zhiqiang follows the rules and always puts the rules in the first place.

And Zhao Qi is obviously more inclined to follow the right time and place, which is like a collision between water and fire, although there is no obvious opposition between them, but from the point of view, they have already derived a bifurcation.

Soon the group was halfway up the mountain, and they were greeted by a neat row of tents and all kinds of advanced equipment placed here.

Ye Zhiqiang, who was not at ease, did not forget to tell Zhao Qi again:

"Unless there are special circumstances, our investigation can only be on the north side, because it is already a military restricted area after climbing over the mountain.

Mr. Zhang would not want us to enter and leave the military restricted area at will. ”

"Mr. Zhang?"

Hearing this title, Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked;

"Which Mr. Zhang?"

Ye Zhiqiang glanced at Zhao Qi suspiciously:

"You don't know you either, but that's the one who came over there."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi subconsciously turned his head.

However, when he saw the person walking in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.

Looking at the face that was not so old, but extremely memorable, Zhao Qi felt that his heart seemed to have missed a beat in the world.

Zhang ...... Zhang Zhenshan's general soldiers! ”

Ye Zhiqiang, who was next to him, suddenly contracted his pupils and looked at Zhao Qi in astonishment.

But Zhao Qi was at this time at the moment when he saw this familiar face, as if he had returned to 2038.

It was the fifth year since the Demon Came, and it was also the final moment of the complete collapse of the human survivors' defenses.

Countless Terran cities have been wiped out, and the survivors' living places are getting smaller and smaller.

But Zhang Zhenshan still did not give up, he led the team of survivors to fight against the invading demons again and again.

After the strange recovery, it seems that even God can't bear to let human beings suddenly suffer a catastrophe, so it also allows human beings to gain the ability to absorb spiritual energy and practice.

These people who have gained the ability to practice are called 'demon slayers', because through practice, humans have indeed gained the ability to fight against demons.

But compared to the terrifying power of demons, and their numbers, this ability of humans is a drop in the bucket.

Among these people, Zhang Zhenshan was the one who impressed Zhao Qi the most.

He has fought side by side with Zhang Zhenshan many times, and every time he fights, Zhang Zhenshan will always be bloody.

He crawled back from the brink of death again and again, and went to the battlefield again and again.

He always puts himself in the most dangerous situation, escorting all the survivors behind him to leave.

Until 2038, the last camp of the survivors was also invaded by demons.

When Zhao Qi rushed to support with his team, Zhang Zhenshan had already fallen in the rubble, surrounded by the corpses of demons, and he only had one breath left.

No one knows what happened to Zhang Zhenshan, but because of him, all the survivors of the camp were transferred from this place unharmed.

He traded his life for the safety of thousands of people.

The moment he saw Zhao Qi, Zhang Zhenshan's face showed a smile of relief.

"A ...... we should have noticed a long time ago"

"We should have prepared for ......"

"If we had realized the imminent crisis earlier, there would have been hope for humanity."

His voice was hoarse and appeared very weak.

Zhang Zhenshan's chest was pierced with a hideous hole, and the amount of blood loss was already exaggerated.

It's hard to imagine how Zhang Zhenshan managed to survive until now, but he resisted the demon attack for the last time for all the survivors.

"Those survivors, it's up to you."

Zhang Zhenshan stretched out his hand with difficulty, grabbed Zhao Qi's wrist, held on to the last trace of spirit, looked at the air behind Zhang Beixing, and said the words that resounded in the world:

"The world is bright, and the fire is not extinguished!!"

After saying these few words, he completely lost his breath.

Tears dripping from the corners of his eyes cut through the blood that had solidified on his face, forming a ravine.

Over the years, Zhao Qi has seen too many deaths and experienced too many separations.

But when he saw Zhang Zhenshan's cold hand slipping from his wrist, Zhao Qi still clearly remembered that his heart seemed to be pierced at that time, and it was extremely painful.

He didn't even have time to bury Zhang Zhenshan, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Maybe for Zhang Zhenshan, dying here, dying on the battlefield is also a good destination.

In order to protect the survivors that Zhang Zhenshan exchanged for his life, Zhao Qi could only hide this sadness in the bottom of his heart and turn it into anger against demons.

He immediately turned back and prepared to return to City 6.

But on the way back......

A huge blood sacrifice stained the night sky red.

That's the direction of Castle 6.

That night, a demon giant mysteriously descended on City 6 and sacrificed blood here.

Almost all of the No. 6 cities were killed, and Zhao Qi led the team that carried out the rescue mission, a total of 17 demon Slayer warriors......

It became the last spark in Castle 6.

That night, Zhao Qi didn't know how he survived.

Those faces turned into ashes of fire in his mind, and the tremendous impact, the loss of hope, made him almost faint.

What a long night it was, and the future of humanity was at an end here.

……

These images kept flashing in front of Zhao Qi's eyes, and at this time he was still standing in this dense wood, looking at the intact Zhang Zhenshan General in front of him.

This is a new starting point, so although Zhao Qi was in a trance for a moment when he saw Zhang Zhenshan, he quickly calmed down.

"I ...... It will definitely protect the human fire! ”

Zhao Qi still remembers the words he said through gritted teeth at that time.

Memories flashed before his eyes.

The God's plan is enough to change all that.

Mountains, rivers and rivers all have their gods, and the incense in the world will never die!

At this time, Zhang Zhenshan stood in front of Zhao Qi suspiciously, and asked a little puzzled:

"You...... Know me? ”

Zhao Qi shook his head and said with a smile:

"I can't say I know it, but I've heard of it.

I've seen reports about the military exercises you led and achieved outstanding results. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenshan nodded, and then turned his attention to Ye Zhiqiang:

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, is something wrong?"

Ye Zhiqiang glanced at Zhao Qi next to him, and then said:

"There are some delays on the way, but we can start investigating right away and won't lock this place down for too long."

Zhang Zhenshan nodded, but his eyes when he looked at Zhao Qi were always a little interesting.

I don't know why, I always feel that this young man is a little strange that can't be said......
