Doomsday Hunter - Vol 2 Chapter 9
Xiang Luo wiped the photo frame in his hand, his eyes full of inexplicable things.
The frame is a family portrait. There is his mother who died during the coming of the end, and there is also his father who died after the end. There are some other relatives.
Now he is the only one left.
I have to say that there are not a few cases in which the whole family died in the last days, and a group of girls around Li Le are basically like this. There are not many high-ranking officials in the security zone left.
The past ten years should be seen as a whole, the greatest catastrophe ever witnessed by mankind. Although there are some interruptions and respite in the middle, the whole is always full of death and danger.
Today, human beings have top demigods as leaders, and monsters are only at the ninth level.
Xiang Luo felt that his mission as a soldier had been basically completed.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
When he was a policeman, his father stopped him to arrest Song Nianzu. And then chose to rebel. At that time, the boss of the police circle, Lu Liu, chose to submit to the powerful interest groups of the enemy. Only a group of young people who don’t know how high the sky is still thinking of resisting.
In the end they were unsuccessful. Song Nianzu ran away halfway through the trial and reached an agreement with Zhao Shiming. If it wasn’t for Li Le’s unreasonable surprise attack, he might have a chance to make a comeback.
The police should maintain justice and order. But in the end Xiang Luo found that he couldn’t maintain anything. Even if his father was not Xiang Tianqi, he would have died.
In the end, Xiang Luo chose to join the army. On the battlefield, everything that is irrelevant is left behind. The experience between life and death made him grow up quickly. In the end, he became the general of the safe zone.
Xiang Luo is no longer young, at thirty-eight years old, and will soon be forty. Well, very young for the Admiral.
To become a general at this age, he is neither capable nor qualified enough. After all, although Xiang Luo has a family background, he is also halfway through. The level is still far from the top, and it may not even be as good as Wang Sheng and Zhang Hai’s two step by step mixing from the bottom.
But the safe zone is really empty now. If Lu Huaiyuan and Yang Zhenguo were still alive, where would they need them to stand up.
As a new generation who grew up in the last days, but still inherited the spirit of the People’s Union. Their future ceiling may be higher than Cao Andong.
This feeling of renewal is becoming more and more obvious.
Even Cao Andong has never participated in the United War of the People’s Union. He was only ten years old more than 40 years ago.
The veterans of that era really didn’t have many survivors left. There are no more in the army.
Xiang Luo didn’t know what kind of mind he should use to face the future. But he has always been a very responsible person. In the past, he obeyed the police’s duties as a police officer. Now, as an admiral, he has even greater responsibilities.
Putting down the photo frame, Xiang Luo put away his messy thoughts and prepared to go to today’s meeting.
The meeting was a group of bigwigs in the safe zone. Cao Andong sat on it, Liu Wangshan, Liu Wanghai, Chu Ci, Tang Guizong, the only remaining officials of the first generation of the security zone, sat beside him. Tang Guizong was a little farther away, and was on the side of Lu Liu, his son-in-law.
There was an empty space between An Duoran and Liu Lie, apparently reserved for Xiang Luo.
Wang Sheng, Zhang Hai and Xu Xiaoxing sat on the other side. I don’t know when, the old people of the Salvation Army also came. Instead, Zhuge Qianliu and Li Shanyang did not come.
After the justice was impregnated and the chief senator and others arrived at the scene. The meeting began.
This meeting will decide a lot of things, and it will definitely be in the textbooks in the future. He marked the complete end of the war, and peaceful development became the next main goal.
After the meeting, Chu Ci returned home with a tired expression.
He has been a Zhao Shiming iron all these years. Some people even satirized him as the dog of District Chief Zhao. Of course, Chu Ci had his own ideas, and in the end, he was much better off than those who rebelled.
Now that Zhao Shiming is dead, the world is at peace. Chu Ci, the oldest guy in the audience, was a little disheartened. He is sixty. My son is in his thirties, and he has a grandson. There is no need to fight with these people in front of you. In any case, there are not many things you should have at home.
It would be nice to get off work early and hug my grandson.
Chu Ci’s son, Chu Xiongtu, is older than Li Le. Now that Li Le has a lot of children, he has nothing to say. A few years ago, he married the daughter of a high-ranking intelligence officer under Zhao Shiming.
Marriage is a common practice in most ruling classes. This is also one of the reasons for the solidification of the later class. Everyone laughs at the South Asian caste system that various surnames cannot intermarry. In fact, all regions require their children to marry people of the same class or higher. It’s just not that serious.
Love is a fart in front of interests. In the end, the upper-level people are always close to each other, covering up and colluding with each other. After the supervision is also pulled into the water, it can expand disorderly, and the people at the bottom have no breathing space.
This is how many regimes have been overthrown throughout history.
Most of the safe areas can’t escape this fate, but there are too many resources now, and the ruling class can’t eat them all. So it will take many years to get to that level.
If the resources of space can be developed in the future, maybe the elites will be diluted by the rapid growth of resources.
The speed of preemption cannot keep up with the speed of resource acquisition, so unless you lose your mind and destroy all resources, you can only watch other people slowly reach the same level as you.
Looking into the future, the development trend of mankind does not know where it will go, whether it is good or bad.
Of course, in theory, according to the development trend, it will definitely get better gradually, because the good things are always easier to stay after the succession from generation to generation.
But maybe it will destroy itself before that.
Cao Andong can’t manage hundreds or thousands of years later, but now he can only manage the current decades.
Thinking long-term is a good thing, but thinking too far without actual evidence will turn into a fantasy. Cao Andong shook his head and concentrated on the meeting.
Chu Ci said half-time that he was not feeling well and left. Everyone did not embarrass the old man and let him go back to rest.
Meanwhile, on Steam Island.
Captain Beth looked at the battleships that were launched and showed a satisfied smile.
After a few months, the first battleships were finally rebuilt. But after all, the scale of the previous life fleet was the accumulation of nearly ten years, and it was not so easy to restore.
At the very least, it will be fourteen years from the end of the world before it can regain its former strength and once again cross the seven seas.
Now, take a break for a while. Go back with the kids.
Hai Duo, Jiu An, Yong Ning, Poria… I think they all miss her. It should be said that many of these children were breastfed by bass.
“Really, long live peace.” Beth turned to look at Steam Island and stretched. At this time, the steam island was still filled with a faint fog, but it was far less serious than it was a few years ago.
The windmill by the sea spun, and Hesa and Catherine sat on it.
Director Winster advised them to come down quickly, so as not to break the windmill and the Dean scolded him. But the young couple ignored the light bulb.
Yes, Hesa and Catherine are married. Just last month. At that time, many people were also invited.
Catherine felt that this violated the thrifty virtues of knighthood. But there was no serious objection. The rest of the knight organization praised the marriage of the head and deputy head.
Both of them liked the windmill forest in the Magic Academy.
By the sea, against the wind. The windmills that stood like giants kept spinning.
This is something that should have been eliminated for many years, but reappeared because of extraordinary power. Similar to their knights.
But are windmills really outdated? Is chivalry really meaningless? No, there was still considerable wind power generation before the end of the world, and it was actually just an improved windmill.
The same is true of chivalry, and the quasi-aristocratic atmosphere of aloofness should probably be abandoned. But what Hesa held, the true chivalry, would never go out of style no matter what.
Catherine leaned on Hesa’s shoulder. Suddenly, I remembered the image of myself being brainwashed by the God Emperor, fighting against Hesa, and finally being defeated by the Life Fleet and the Windmill Knights. I also remembered Dracula who died under his sword, and Islaud who died.
Miss Paladin suddenly began to wonder what kind of existence God really is.
She sighed and put her arms around Hesa, without speaking, just watching the waves lapping on the shore quietly together.
The sound of the waves is nice.
The rotation of the windmill blades is also hypnotic.
In the setting sun, Catherine just leaned on Hesa’s shoulder and fell asleep. She didn’t pray to the gods, she didn’t think about any sacred teachings.
Hesa smiled. Waving to shut Winster, he sat with his wife in the sunset.
Some people can be with loved ones who have known each other for many years.
Some people are not so lucky.
Jiang Feibai returned home alone. Although he is now the chief physician of the army, and the various treatments are very good, the loneliness that no one is waiting for after returning home is still painful.
Of course, he’s not alone.
In his mind, the consciousnesses of Qi Wei and Huang Wenxin were chattering almost all the time, and they often gave him a headache at first. It is much better now, also because he has mastered the way to lock up Qi Wei.
Until now, Jiang Feibai was not sure whether they were split personalities or the souls of childhood sweethearts and comrades-in-arms.
But he’s used to it this way.
“You can’t do this, let me out when you need me, lock me up when you don’t need me, and you two play this and that.” Qi Wei repeated the topic they had talked about for many years.
Jiang Feibai was sitting on the sofa alone, with three people chatting and arguing in his head. Most of them are trivial things.
Otherwise, the three of them have talked for ten years, and there is really nothing to talk about.
In the end, the platoon leader Qi Wei was thrown into a deep sleep by Jiang Feibai. Only he and Huang Wenxin, the childhood sweethearts, were left to fall in love in one body.
Suddenly, Jiang Feibai recalled that foggy garden many years ago.
He said softly to Huang Wenxin, “I’m sorry.”
In fact, Huang Wenxin still had the possibility of rescue at that time, but Jiang Feibai gave up. Only one person in a group can leave, and he finally abandoned his childhood sweetheart.
“I don’t blame you.” Huang Wenxin said.
Sometimes a knot is so easily unraveled. Ten years of entanglement, but in the end it was just this sentence, but it made Jiang Feibai extremely relaxed.
**Today’s update. I feel that many of these extras are related to the content of hundreds of chapters ago. I don’t know if you still remember.
To be honest, I don’t remember much if I hadn’t watched it again.
