The singing in the wilderness is sometimes gone, like the mist in the early morning.
Ten off-road vehicles drove towards their own roads of no return. What each person wanted was not to make meritorious contributions, but to give opportunities to others on the road.
All soldiers, including Zhang Yuge, have aspirations to die. From the beginning of the fight, they have wanted to leave their hopes to others.
This is the glory of the Qing army.
The more than 40 barriers in the southwest are still peaceful. The blood that Luo Lan shed when she killed someone before has been wiped clean, as if nothing had happened.
The residents of the barrier used Luo Lan's murder as a topic of conversation after dinner. Everyone speculated why he suddenly killed someone, and privately arranged many stories of open and secret struggles. These stories were spread more and more widely, but no one felt that these things had anything to do with them.
After all, the struggle in the superstructure is inseparable from the common people.
So they didn't know that the real war actually began from this moment and happened in places they couldn't see.
War has never been limited to the bombardment of shells and machine guns that come and go, and the undercurrents are equally thrilling.
Qingzhen once told Qingyi that fortunately Luo Lan launched a massacre within three days, eliminating all the hidden dangers of Qing's family.
Otherwise, now everyone knows that Qingzhen and Luo Lan will definitely be ready to move after they go to the Central Plains.
Although these people cannot shake the foundation of the Qing family, they will still cause some small trouble.
Wang once sent an invitation, but was rejected by Qingzhen.
Luo Lan and Ren Xiaosu said before leaving that they might have to go to the Central Plains in the end, because many things have exceeded the control of the Qing family.
Therefore, Luo Lan killed these people and brought those infamous names to leave Qingzhen with a stable and united back before leaving.
Luo Lan is still the same Luo Lan, and he has been taking care of this family in his own way.
Qingyi slept on the cold floor all night. Fortunately, it was summer now, and the altitude of the Ginkgo Manor was not high, so it was not too cold.
When he woke up, he found that Qing Zhen was still sitting peacefully in the black lake, as if he had not been asleep all night.
Second brother, haven’t you slept at night?Qingyi said in confusion.
Well, Qingzhen nodded: Think about something.
Are you worried that Zhang Yuge and the others can’t send the news to the northwest?Qingyi asked: Second brother, do you think no one can break through the blockade?
Well, Qingzhen seemed to have already had his own judgment in his heart: they couldn't succeed, Ayi, as I said, you can't be lucky when playing chess with artificial intelligence.
Then what should we do? Qingyi frowned and said: If Ren Xiaosu cannot go to the Central Plains, then wouldn’t it be dangerous for the elder brother?
There is still a chance, Qingzhen said.
What opportunity?Qingyi was stunned for a moment, as if Qingzhen had made other arrangements after he fell asleep. Other than the ten soldiers, there should be others heading to the northwest: Second brother, you can't reveal the news that you are still in Qing's family at this time.
It doesn’t matter, I can trust this person with the letter sent by the crow, Qingzhen said.
Qingyi knew that there was an extraordinary person who could control a crow hiding in the dark beside Qingzhen. When Qingzhen and Luo Lan were under house arrest, Qingyi used the crow as a newcomer to convey information.
When Luo Lan was under house arrest at Barrier No. 88, Qingzhen also used crows to convey information.
However, Qingyi always thought that the person who controlled the crow was Xu Man. Now that Xu Man has gone to the Central Plains, there should be someone else.
But he was a little puzzled: Second brother, who else did you send to the northwest?
Tang and Zhou.
Qingyi was stunned for a moment. He knew why Qingzhen sent Tang Zhou.
Yesterday, the second brother told him that if anyone in this world would sacrifice his life to save Luo Lan, then besides their brothers, only Ren Xiaosu and Tang Zhou would be left.
On this undercurrent morning, Tang Zhou rode a horse in the wilderness.
On the violently undulating horse's back, Tang Zhou bent down and leaned down on the horse's back to reduce the resistance of the wind.
Beside him, he was still holding the reins of two war horses.
One man and three horses were the highest configuration for cavalry scouts in ancient times when they were raiding for a long distance.
An adult male soldier weighs about 160 kilograms, and a horse is loaded for a long time, which will put great pressure and load on it.
During this long-distance raid, the cavalry needs to constantly observe the fatigue of their horses, and then let the three horses spread their feet in a transfer way.
In fact, there are modern troops within the Qing family, so there is no combat sequence like cavalry.
Tang Zhou rode his horse in the wilderness and did not walk on the main road, but did not want to be discovered by the enemy.
From the beginning, the ten off-road vehicles heading to different routes were used by Qingzhen to attract attention to Tang Zhou.
So Qingzhen had already made a judgment from the very beginning: if artificial intelligence really wanted to block the southwest, then none of these ten soldiers would survive.
In this long-distance race against time, Tang Zhou is Qingzhen’s real hope.
However, it was just hope. As for whether Tang and Zhou could reach the northwest, no one knew.
Just like what Qingzhen often says to Qingyi, you can't be lucky when playing chess with artificial intelligence. He didn't say this to Qingyi, but to himself.
He needs to say it to himself again and again so that he can remember it firmly in his heart.
At this time, Tang Zhou had already rode nearly 500 kilometers northward. He kept transferring on the road, but he could still feel the physical condition of the war horse being declining.
It was clearly early in summer, but the sweat on the horse's body was still evaporating white mist. It can be seen that the temperature on the horse's body was almost at the limit they could bear.
But Tang Zhou could not stop, so he could only use whips and spurs to urge the horses to continue running wildly.
These three horses are mutated breeds bred by the old men of the Qing family when they were alive. They are said to travel 600 kilometers a day while carrying people.
Generally speaking, before the disaster, the speed of the war horses is between 20 kilometers and 60 kilometers per hour, and traveling 300 kilometers per day is the limit, and it is easy to kill the horses.
In the past, the old men of the Qing family were still there, so some people often said that these three war horses were their treasures and were kept in the low mountain pasture behind the Ginkgo Manor.
On weekdays, some people specialize in taking care of their diet and daily life, and some people specialize in training them for various projects.
A breeder accidentally scratched the three war horses a little bit, but was sent to the Order Sect Prison by the old men in power in Qing's family and was imprisoned for 7 years.
However, Qingzhen didn't care about their life or death. He ran to the barrier No. 144 in the north at full speed. Even if the three cavalry transferred and even if they had mutated and evolved, they would have to run away and die.
The toys cherished by others are just a qualified tool in Qingzhen's hands.
……
Last night, while Tang Zhou was walking forward in the wilderness, he vaguely heard gunshots not far away.
And the musical singing.
The loud singing sounds are like a farewell between men with wine and laughter.
Goodbye, friend Ah.
Goodbye, friend Ah.
Goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
If I die in the battlefield, please keep moving forward and carry our glory on your shoulders.
Tang Zhou probably understood that this should be the encounter between the warrior who attracted firepower and the enemy. At this time, Tang Zhou could not even confirm what the enemy was, so he could only silently say in his heart.
He could not save his comrades who were covering him, because the note sent by the crow said: Send Luo Lan's trip to the Central Plains to Barrier No. 144 in the north, and you will have a chance to exchange for your lives. You can only succeed, not fail.
The 144 barrier is getting closer and closer, and the valley area where bandits were once rampant is already near.
Tang Zhou knew that as long as he could pass through here, the action would be successful.
Because in the north of the river valley area, there was a battalion-level army of the Sixth Field Division training nearby, and he only needed to attract the attention of that army, so naturally someone would help him bring the news to the north.
However, the next moment, he suddenly saw a sparrow standing alone on the treetops of the mist in the morning, staring at him.
Tang Zhou swore that he had never seen a sparrow staring at him like this.
He didn't have to think too much, but instead whipped the horse hard on the butt. After the war horse was in pain, it started running hard again.
When Tang Zhou passed under the treetops where the sparrow was, he subconsciously returned and took a look, but found that the huge sparrow was flapping its wings and following closely behind him.
Looking further back, Tang Zhou suddenly saw the direction of the gunfire before, and suddenly a flock of birds like dark clouds floated.
The horses that Tang Zhou sat down were getting slower and slower, while the dark cloud-like birds were getting closer and closer to him.
It turned out that he had to face such a terrifying thing, Ah, artificial intelligence, Tang Zhou smiled bitterly, but after he smiled bitterly, he immediately made a decision.
As one of the most core figures of the Qing family today, how could Tang Zhou not know the whole story of the attack on the No. 012 military base, so when he saw the sparrow, he already understood everything.
He understood what kind of opponent he had to face.
Just as the war horse was galloping, Tang Zhou was agile and rose up as he marched, and in just a moment he flipped onto the back of another war horse.
This war horse has the best physical strength.
After sitting firmly, Tang Zhou immediately released the reins of the other two war horses: Go, you don’t have to accompany me to die, go back to the wilderness, thank you for your hard work.
After saying that, Tang Zhou tightly clamped the horse's belly, and he left the team like an arrow from the string. After losing control of the reins, the two war horses behind him ran to the wilderness one left and one right.
In fact, Tang Zhou knew why Qingzhen chose himself to deliver this news, because Qingzhen knew that even if he died, he would send this news to the northwest.
Tang Zhou thought to himself, when did he meet Boss Luo?
It seemed like it was the autumn 10 years ago, when Tang Zhou was still a refugee at the barrier No. 111, and his only relative, his father, had just passed away.
People die like a lamp extinguished. Even refugees want to bury their relatives well. At least they have to have a coffin, otherwise the wild dogs in the wilderness will dig out their father's corpses from the ground and take them away.
The young Tang Zhou asked his neighbor to borrow money to bury his father, but no one was willing to lend it to him. It happened that Luo Lan came out of Barrier No. 111 and went to the 6th combat brigade of the Qing family garrison of Barrier No. 113 to perform his duties.
Luo Lan saw him sweeping his father's body with grass on the side of the road, so she got out of the car and asked happily: What's wrong?
16-year-old Tang Zhou was a little angry. His father was dead, and the big man who came out of this barrier was still smiling.
But he was anxious to bury his father, so he said helplessly: I want to bury my father in a coffin.
Luo Lan smiled and said: What are you going to exchange for?
Using my life, Tang Zhou stubbornly said: If you take the money, my life will be yours.
It's useless for me to ask you for your bad life. Good man, come to my army, Luo Lan got into the car with a smile.
Tang Zhou looked at the other party silently and clenched his fists.
Then an orderly soldier helped Tang Zhou bury his father, and then joined him on the truck heading to Barrier No. 113.
Tang Zhou thought to himself that if the matter ended here, he would probably be a soldier for a few years and then retire and enter the barrier.
At that time, maybe I can find a factory work, and get a salary while getting a salary for Qing’s retirement allowance, so my life will be relatively stable.
But after he arrived at the garrison camp at Barrier No. 113, the first thing he did was to find Luo Lan, and then stubbornly said: I said I would give you my life, and you don’t have to rush to refuse. My life will be useful to you.
At that time, Luo Lan laughed and scolded: I have a kind of genitals.
Luo Lan was 23 years old that year and was the brother of the shadow of Qing family.Tang and Zhou were 16 years old and still had a bad life.
Since then, Luo Lan has been promoted all the way, and Tang Zhou has followed him and became a major officer under Boss Luo at the age of 24.
After ten years of joining the army, Tang and Zhou followed Luo Lan for ten years.
How many decades does life have?
Now Tang Zhou is 26 years old and Luo Lan is 33 years old. These ten years are like a cycle of reincarnation.
At this time, the war horses are running slower and slower, and Tang and Zhou will also pass through the entire river valley area.
However, the dark clouds of birds have come to the top of their heads.
Tang Zhou, who was fighting the horse, only felt that he suddenly fell. After the horse he sat down was completely exhausted, he could no longer bear the rushing power, and in an instant he fell to the ground with Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou was a little dirty when he stood up hastily. He immediately checked the pistol on his waist and turned on the insurance.
He can't wait for these sparrows to fall, because if he is also controlled by the artificial intelligence behind the nanorobot, the other party can easily read his memory and know how he will deliver the message.
It's time to give you this life back, Tang Zhou said with a smile.
Qingzhen knew this promise because they had mentioned it occasionally, and everyone used this matter as a joke to tease Tang Zhou.
However, after receiving the note from the crow, Tang Zhou understood that he would not give the note to others, but to him, a senior officer who had already reached the rank of colonel. In fact, Qingzhen gave him this task and told him silently: The time has come to fulfill his promise.
At this moment, Qingzhen forced herself to cruelly treat everyone as a tool for Luo Lan.
Whether it is Zhang Yuge, Tang Zhou, or Ren Xiaosu, they are all bargaining chips that Qingzhen wants to increase Luo Lan's chances of saving his life.
Qingzhen doesn’t care what others think of him, he only needs his brother to live.
Tang Zhou thought, would he blame Qingzhen for sending himself to death like this?
The answer is not to complain, but to feel relieved.
There is no tragedy, no desolation, only relief.
If you say that you want to give this life, you will definitely give it to you.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhou first walked to the horse and pulled out a signal gun next to the saddle, and pulled the trigger into the sky.
A purple-red signal flare suddenly rose into the sky, like a gorgeous meteor in the daytime.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Zhou looked up at the signal flare plunging into the dark clouds of the birds, trying to fly to a higher place.
The birds seemed to have been on guard for a long time. They split half of them and formed a tight circle around the signal flare to cover the light of the signal flare with their bodies.
But the next moment, the signal flare actually detonated again from it, and it carried out a second combustion and explosion.
In just a moment, the high temperature wrapped all the sparrows and turned them into balls of fireballs flying in the sky, turning them into more conspicuous signal flares.
This is a signal flare specially prepared by Qingzhen for these sparrows.
Tang Zhou smiled. This thing is really sinister.
The sparrow that was not sneaked into the sky by this signal flare began to hover and dive into Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou looked up at the balls of sunlight, and raised his pistol to point it at his jaw.
The message was hidden in him, and he could not let the nanorobot control himself and find out where his thing that conveyed the message was hidden.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that the three war horses were negligent in training since Qingzhen took office, and even if one man and three horses were alone, they could not run through barrier No. 144.
All three war horses ran to death, and they couldn't escape.
So, this incident was a dead end from the beginning.
Tang Zhou smiled: What did I say back then?I said I would give you my life, so you must give it to me. You don’t have to rush to refuse. My life will be useful to you.
After saying that, Tang Zhou pulled the trigger.
The gunshots rang out like thunder.
……
Chief Black Fox, I heard that you have removed the young coach’s house?
Just during the training and repair of the 6th Field Division's recruit battalion, an active recruit suddenly asked.
These recruits were not able to participate in the battle in the Wizard Kingdom before. When everyone heard the seniors happily discussing the war after they came back, they felt itchy.
The black fox, who was leading the team in front, heard this question, turned around and looked at the recruit who was not open and raised, and said seriously: The young marshal did not say that the door could not be removed, he only said that he could not step on the floor.
The new recruits were stunned for a while, and it turned out that the legend was true.
In fact, it was because of this that the Black Fox was sent to train new recruits...
However, just as they were stunned, a purple-red signal flare flew into the sky in the distant wilderness. It was at this time that everyone noticed that the flock of birds in that sky was a bit abnormal... too many, too dense.
Then, the power of the signal board exploded twice swept through countless sparrows, burning the sparrows into fireballs.
Chief Black Fox, what's going on? The new recruit Danzi said in a daze.
The black fox was more sensitive than their intuition, and he immediately shouted: Get ready for battle!
The new recruits immediately loaded the guns. Although they were new recruits, they had been training for about three months, so they would not be a ignorant child.
These three months of training have already made them understand a truth: when the superior gives orders, you just need to do it.
The black fox began to run quickly towards the birds, yelling at the soldiers behind him while running: Keep the battle formation!
After they quickly entered the flock of birds five hundred meters, the black fox had already begun to shoot and try to shock the flock of birds.
However, the flock of birds seemed to be not afraid at all and was still guarding that place.
Now, the black fox became more and more sure of his judgment. There was something wrong with the bird flock, and someone was being besieged by the bird flock... or had died in the bird flock.
When they entered within 350 meters, the black fox stopped rushing in, but directly led the recruits to half kneel down and began to shoot at the flock of birds in the sky.
The effective range of the 178-23 automatic rifle in their hands is 400 meters.
The so-called effective range is generally within this range, and the lethality of the firearm can meet all people's expectations for it.
The 500 new recruits had not been very good at shooting, but there were too many birds in the sky, so that any random shot could knock the huge sparrows down to the ground like rain.
The black fox looked at it with a telescope at this time. He clearly saw a young soldier in Qing's uniform lying on the ground, and there were more than a dozen sparrows on the ground, looking for things on the Qing's soldiers as if they were experiencing human nature.
Not only rummaging through the pockets, but also rummaging on the collar, hair, and cuffs, the black fox even saw a sparrow pushing open the Qing soldier's mouth to check his teeth, like a high-level close-fitting search.
What made the black fox feel even more numb was that the sparrows actually pecked the other person's skin with their sharp beaks, as if they were looking for something.
However, the first time the black fox has seen a sparrow searching for humans like this!
Five minutes later, most of the sparrows in the sky were shot down by the recruits, but the sparrows never meant to leave.
Moreover, these sparrows actually began to peck at the body of the Qing soldier!
The black fox gritted his teeth: Keep moving forward, change the magazine, and change the point shot!
Although he didn't know why the Qing soldiers appeared in the northwest, the scene in front of him was too strange and he had to figure out what was going on.
Finally, when there were only more than ten sparrows left, they began to fly south.
The black fox said: The first and second companies were on standby, and the third and fourth companies advanced with attack formations to follow me.
When they came to the place where Tang Zhou's body was, the black fox was stunned when he looked at Tang Zhou's appearance. He was the second only to P5 when he was in the fire, and Tang Zhou was a celebrity around Luo Lan. How could he not know Tang Zhou?
How could such an important Qing army figure suddenly come to the northwest and besieged by a group of inexplicable sparrows?
And what are those sparrows searching for?
Now, due to the mutation of birds in the sky, the entire barrier alliance has lost the concept of air control for decades, but now, threats from the sky have emerged.
Tang Zhou was lying quietly on the ground with bruises and black fox checked the other party's injuries: the fatal injury was a shot that penetrated the top of his head from his jaw, killing himself.
He looked at the war horse who was so tired that he died suddenly: He secreted a lot of sweat, his tongue coating turned white, and there was no external injury. This war horse ran to death. Judging from the foot strength of the mutated horse, he had to run five or six hundred kilometers day and night before he could run to death, right?
Did you commit suicide because you didn’t want to endure the torture?Or do you know that you can't survive, so do you have some fun?
But the Black Fox felt something was wrong. The troops under Qingzhen and Luo Lan have always been famous for their fearlessness.
How could a person like Tang and Zhou commit suicide because of fear?
This kind of death is more like the suicide of a loyal spy in order to keep a secret!
The other party seemed to know that he was waiting for him nearby, so he ran here desperately before releasing the signal flare before he died.
Sorry, brother, the black fox whispered.
After saying that, he took off all the clothes on Tang Zhou, and then carefully screened every inch of the clothes with his fingers, but he found nothing.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers from the recruits saw that the black fox began to squeeze Tang Zhou's skin and muscles with his index finger and thumb inch by inch.
When he pinched his calf, the black fox suddenly felt something strange. He took a deep breath and said apologizing again, and then cut the other party's leg muscles with a dagger.
I saw a thin metal tube hidden close to the skeleton of the calf.
The black fox wiped his bloody hands and unscrewed the metal tube.
A small note inside said: Luo Lan had set off for barrier No. 61, Central Plains, please rescue him.
The black fox stood there on the spot, and he suddenly respected the Qing officer named Tang Zhou.
The other party rushed hundreds of kilometers without sleeping, and even if he lost his life, he would send this message of help to the northwest.
Moreover, if this metal tube wants to hide next to the bones under the muscles, you have to cut your muscles first. The black fox can even imagine how painful it is when the other party hides the metal tube.
There was something that made the Black Fox puzzled. When he cut the other person's calves before, he had never seen such a deep wound, and the sparrow's pecking wound was only on the surface.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
The black fox stood up straight and said to the recruits: He died for the Savior. I hope that one day it is your turn to protect the northwest, you will also have the same firm belief as he is, and salute.
Five hundred soldiers from the recruits battalion saluted neatly, and then carried Tang Zhou's body to evacuate quickly.
Just as the evacuation was about to be no one noticed that there was a sparrow on the treetops in the distance and did not leave with the birds.
In the Ginkgo Manor, Qingzhen had been sitting on the black and gray marble floor for a day and a half, sleeping and resting.
He just wants to wait for one news now.
At this time, Qingyi hurriedly walked in from outside the door: Second brother, on the edge of the Jingshan Mountains, a garrison said that he saw a giant suddenly rushing out of the Jingshan Mountains, looking like a lizard.The garrison failed to stop it, and the machine guns could not penetrate its skin.
Qingzhen looked up at Qingyi: It should be a monster in the crater of Jingshan Mountain. Where did it go?
Going north!Qingyi said.
Qingzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: The news from Tang Zhou has been delivered.
What's the meaning?Qingyi was puzzled.
Although I don’t know what happened to this monster, it is probably one of the backup plans of artificial intelligence zero. Qingzhen said calmly: This backup plan has been hidden in Jingshan for so long and obviously wants to deal with our Qing family, but now it has temporarily changed its plan, which means that someone has forced it to change its plan.
Then what is this lizard doing in the north?Qingyi asked.
Stop Ren Xiaosu from going to the Central Plains.
Is that... Before Qingyi finished speaking, he found that Qingzhen looked boundlessly lonely: What's wrong, second brother.
Qingzhen turned his head and looked at Qingyi and said softly: Tang Zhou is dead.
From the moment the news was successfully conveyed, Qingzhen guessed Tang Zhou's fate, because it was the fate he arranged himself.
But what made Qingzhen the most sad was that Tang Zhou knew that Qingzhen asked him to die this time, but he still went.
Is that big brother saved?Qingyi asked: Ren Xiaosu should be going, right?
If Ren Xiaosu rushed there as soon as he got the news and my brother followed the original schedule, then the time would be in time. Qingzhen said: But Ayi, you have to understand that any errors occur in this link...
Because of this danger, Qingzhen wanted to accompany Luo Lan to the Central Plains earlier.
Now, Qingzhen has tried his best, and the rest can only depend on fate.
On this huge chess board, Zero Zheng Hei took the lead, Qing Zhen made a staggering move, and the two sides fought in the dark with the most ruthless means, but the chess movement was about to be bright to the bright spot.
……
In the barrier No. 144, in the small house where Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin lived, a group of officers were moving small stools and sitting in rows of yards.
In front of them was a blackboard, and Ren Xiaosu was giving a lecture: The true eye in your hands is the weapon of the wizards, and all witchcraft must be released through this true eye.Now you hold the eyes of true vision in your hands and breathe with your eyes closed. You can enter your own meditation world with just a hundred breaths. In the meditation world, you can practice witchcraft.
Zhang Xiaoman, who was sitting on the stool, suddenly asked: Young Marshal, why is the color of this true eye different? I see that Dashiyou and P5092 are both golden, why am I red?
Ren Xiaosu explained: The different colors of the eyes of true vision represent different levels.Generally speaking, the higher the level, the stronger the witchcraft will be.The red level in your hand is second only to the black level in my hand.
Zhang Xiaoman said in confusion: Is it true?
But when I saw a big fool look at Zhang Xiaoman enviously: The young marshal actually gave you the red stone, the young marshal is so nice to you!
Wang Yun also said: It's Ah Zhang Xiaoman, we all have only gold, but you are red, thank you young man quickly.
Zhang Xiaoman said thank you to Ren Xiaosu in a confused manner and also provided a thank you coin.
But he always felt that these bad players were playing him, but he had no evidence!
After all, he had never been to the Wizard Kingdom and could not find someone from the Wizard Kingdom to ask about the matter clearly.
As a result, a soldier suddenly ran over: Young Marshal, the Black Fox is back, he wants to see you.
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows: Didn’t he say he could train for a month before coming back?
The soldier replied pantingly: He said that he had met Tang Zhou of the Qing family, and the other party had already died in the north of the river valley area. Now the Black Fox Chief is taking his body and returning to Barrier No. 144 with an extremely important news.
Ren Xiaosu's expression changed, as if bad news always suddenly came in such unprepared time.
Ten off-road vehicles drove towards their own roads of no return. What each person wanted was not to make meritorious contributions, but to give opportunities to others on the road.
All soldiers, including Zhang Yuge, have aspirations to die. From the beginning of the fight, they have wanted to leave their hopes to others.
This is the glory of the Qing army.
The more than 40 barriers in the southwest are still peaceful. The blood that Luo Lan shed when she killed someone before has been wiped clean, as if nothing had happened.
The residents of the barrier used Luo Lan's murder as a topic of conversation after dinner. Everyone speculated why he suddenly killed someone, and privately arranged many stories of open and secret struggles. These stories were spread more and more widely, but no one felt that these things had anything to do with them.
After all, the struggle in the superstructure is inseparable from the common people.
So they didn't know that the real war actually began from this moment and happened in places they couldn't see.
War has never been limited to the bombardment of shells and machine guns that come and go, and the undercurrents are equally thrilling.
Qingzhen once told Qingyi that fortunately Luo Lan launched a massacre within three days, eliminating all the hidden dangers of Qing's family.
Otherwise, now everyone knows that Qingzhen and Luo Lan will definitely be ready to move after they go to the Central Plains.
Although these people cannot shake the foundation of the Qing family, they will still cause some small trouble.
Wang once sent an invitation, but was rejected by Qingzhen.
Luo Lan and Ren Xiaosu said before leaving that they might have to go to the Central Plains in the end, because many things have exceeded the control of the Qing family.
Therefore, Luo Lan killed these people and brought those infamous names to leave Qingzhen with a stable and united back before leaving.
Luo Lan is still the same Luo Lan, and he has been taking care of this family in his own way.
Qingyi slept on the cold floor all night. Fortunately, it was summer now, and the altitude of the Ginkgo Manor was not high, so it was not too cold.
When he woke up, he found that Qing Zhen was still sitting peacefully in the black lake, as if he had not been asleep all night.
Second brother, haven’t you slept at night?Qingyi said in confusion.
Well, Qingzhen nodded: Think about something.
Are you worried that Zhang Yuge and the others can’t send the news to the northwest?Qingyi asked: Second brother, do you think no one can break through the blockade?
Well, Qingzhen seemed to have already had his own judgment in his heart: they couldn't succeed, Ayi, as I said, you can't be lucky when playing chess with artificial intelligence.
Then what should we do? Qingyi frowned and said: If Ren Xiaosu cannot go to the Central Plains, then wouldn’t it be dangerous for the elder brother?
There is still a chance, Qingzhen said.
What opportunity?Qingyi was stunned for a moment, as if Qingzhen had made other arrangements after he fell asleep. Other than the ten soldiers, there should be others heading to the northwest: Second brother, you can't reveal the news that you are still in Qing's family at this time.
It doesn’t matter, I can trust this person with the letter sent by the crow, Qingzhen said.
Qingyi knew that there was an extraordinary person who could control a crow hiding in the dark beside Qingzhen. When Qingzhen and Luo Lan were under house arrest, Qingyi used the crow as a newcomer to convey information.
When Luo Lan was under house arrest at Barrier No. 88, Qingzhen also used crows to convey information.
However, Qingyi always thought that the person who controlled the crow was Xu Man. Now that Xu Man has gone to the Central Plains, there should be someone else.
But he was a little puzzled: Second brother, who else did you send to the northwest?
Tang and Zhou.
Qingyi was stunned for a moment. He knew why Qingzhen sent Tang Zhou.
Yesterday, the second brother told him that if anyone in this world would sacrifice his life to save Luo Lan, then besides their brothers, only Ren Xiaosu and Tang Zhou would be left.
On this undercurrent morning, Tang Zhou rode a horse in the wilderness.
On the violently undulating horse's back, Tang Zhou bent down and leaned down on the horse's back to reduce the resistance of the wind.
Beside him, he was still holding the reins of two war horses.
One man and three horses were the highest configuration for cavalry scouts in ancient times when they were raiding for a long distance.
An adult male soldier weighs about 160 kilograms, and a horse is loaded for a long time, which will put great pressure and load on it.
During this long-distance raid, the cavalry needs to constantly observe the fatigue of their horses, and then let the three horses spread their feet in a transfer way.
In fact, there are modern troops within the Qing family, so there is no combat sequence like cavalry.
Tang Zhou rode his horse in the wilderness and did not walk on the main road, but did not want to be discovered by the enemy.
From the beginning, the ten off-road vehicles heading to different routes were used by Qingzhen to attract attention to Tang Zhou.
So Qingzhen had already made a judgment from the very beginning: if artificial intelligence really wanted to block the southwest, then none of these ten soldiers would survive.
In this long-distance race against time, Tang Zhou is Qingzhen’s real hope.
However, it was just hope. As for whether Tang and Zhou could reach the northwest, no one knew.
Just like what Qingzhen often says to Qingyi, you can't be lucky when playing chess with artificial intelligence. He didn't say this to Qingyi, but to himself.
He needs to say it to himself again and again so that he can remember it firmly in his heart.
At this time, Tang Zhou had already rode nearly 500 kilometers northward. He kept transferring on the road, but he could still feel the physical condition of the war horse being declining.
It was clearly early in summer, but the sweat on the horse's body was still evaporating white mist. It can be seen that the temperature on the horse's body was almost at the limit they could bear.
But Tang Zhou could not stop, so he could only use whips and spurs to urge the horses to continue running wildly.
These three horses are mutated breeds bred by the old men of the Qing family when they were alive. They are said to travel 600 kilometers a day while carrying people.
Generally speaking, before the disaster, the speed of the war horses is between 20 kilometers and 60 kilometers per hour, and traveling 300 kilometers per day is the limit, and it is easy to kill the horses.
In the past, the old men of the Qing family were still there, so some people often said that these three war horses were their treasures and were kept in the low mountain pasture behind the Ginkgo Manor.
On weekdays, some people specialize in taking care of their diet and daily life, and some people specialize in training them for various projects.
A breeder accidentally scratched the three war horses a little bit, but was sent to the Order Sect Prison by the old men in power in Qing's family and was imprisoned for 7 years.
However, Qingzhen didn't care about their life or death. He ran to the barrier No. 144 in the north at full speed. Even if the three cavalry transferred and even if they had mutated and evolved, they would have to run away and die.
The toys cherished by others are just a qualified tool in Qingzhen's hands.
……
Last night, while Tang Zhou was walking forward in the wilderness, he vaguely heard gunshots not far away.
And the musical singing.
The loud singing sounds are like a farewell between men with wine and laughter.
Goodbye, friend Ah.
Goodbye, friend Ah.
Goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
If I die in the battlefield, please keep moving forward and carry our glory on your shoulders.
Tang Zhou probably understood that this should be the encounter between the warrior who attracted firepower and the enemy. At this time, Tang Zhou could not even confirm what the enemy was, so he could only silently say in his heart.
He could not save his comrades who were covering him, because the note sent by the crow said: Send Luo Lan's trip to the Central Plains to Barrier No. 144 in the north, and you will have a chance to exchange for your lives. You can only succeed, not fail.
The 144 barrier is getting closer and closer, and the valley area where bandits were once rampant is already near.
Tang Zhou knew that as long as he could pass through here, the action would be successful.
Because in the north of the river valley area, there was a battalion-level army of the Sixth Field Division training nearby, and he only needed to attract the attention of that army, so naturally someone would help him bring the news to the north.
However, the next moment, he suddenly saw a sparrow standing alone on the treetops of the mist in the morning, staring at him.
Tang Zhou swore that he had never seen a sparrow staring at him like this.
He didn't have to think too much, but instead whipped the horse hard on the butt. After the war horse was in pain, it started running hard again.
When Tang Zhou passed under the treetops where the sparrow was, he subconsciously returned and took a look, but found that the huge sparrow was flapping its wings and following closely behind him.
Looking further back, Tang Zhou suddenly saw the direction of the gunfire before, and suddenly a flock of birds like dark clouds floated.
The horses that Tang Zhou sat down were getting slower and slower, while the dark cloud-like birds were getting closer and closer to him.
It turned out that he had to face such a terrifying thing, Ah, artificial intelligence, Tang Zhou smiled bitterly, but after he smiled bitterly, he immediately made a decision.
As one of the most core figures of the Qing family today, how could Tang Zhou not know the whole story of the attack on the No. 012 military base, so when he saw the sparrow, he already understood everything.
He understood what kind of opponent he had to face.
Just as the war horse was galloping, Tang Zhou was agile and rose up as he marched, and in just a moment he flipped onto the back of another war horse.
This war horse has the best physical strength.
After sitting firmly, Tang Zhou immediately released the reins of the other two war horses: Go, you don’t have to accompany me to die, go back to the wilderness, thank you for your hard work.
After saying that, Tang Zhou tightly clamped the horse's belly, and he left the team like an arrow from the string. After losing control of the reins, the two war horses behind him ran to the wilderness one left and one right.
In fact, Tang Zhou knew why Qingzhen chose himself to deliver this news, because Qingzhen knew that even if he died, he would send this news to the northwest.
Tang Zhou thought to himself, when did he meet Boss Luo?
It seemed like it was the autumn 10 years ago, when Tang Zhou was still a refugee at the barrier No. 111, and his only relative, his father, had just passed away.
People die like a lamp extinguished. Even refugees want to bury their relatives well. At least they have to have a coffin, otherwise the wild dogs in the wilderness will dig out their father's corpses from the ground and take them away.
The young Tang Zhou asked his neighbor to borrow money to bury his father, but no one was willing to lend it to him. It happened that Luo Lan came out of Barrier No. 111 and went to the 6th combat brigade of the Qing family garrison of Barrier No. 113 to perform his duties.
Luo Lan saw him sweeping his father's body with grass on the side of the road, so she got out of the car and asked happily: What's wrong?
16-year-old Tang Zhou was a little angry. His father was dead, and the big man who came out of this barrier was still smiling.
But he was anxious to bury his father, so he said helplessly: I want to bury my father in a coffin.
Luo Lan smiled and said: What are you going to exchange for?
Using my life, Tang Zhou stubbornly said: If you take the money, my life will be yours.
It's useless for me to ask you for your bad life. Good man, come to my army, Luo Lan got into the car with a smile.
Tang Zhou looked at the other party silently and clenched his fists.
Then an orderly soldier helped Tang Zhou bury his father, and then joined him on the truck heading to Barrier No. 113.
Tang Zhou thought to himself that if the matter ended here, he would probably be a soldier for a few years and then retire and enter the barrier.
At that time, maybe I can find a factory work, and get a salary while getting a salary for Qing’s retirement allowance, so my life will be relatively stable.
But after he arrived at the garrison camp at Barrier No. 113, the first thing he did was to find Luo Lan, and then stubbornly said: I said I would give you my life, and you don’t have to rush to refuse. My life will be useful to you.
At that time, Luo Lan laughed and scolded: I have a kind of genitals.
Luo Lan was 23 years old that year and was the brother of the shadow of Qing family.Tang and Zhou were 16 years old and still had a bad life.
Since then, Luo Lan has been promoted all the way, and Tang Zhou has followed him and became a major officer under Boss Luo at the age of 24.
After ten years of joining the army, Tang and Zhou followed Luo Lan for ten years.
How many decades does life have?
Now Tang Zhou is 26 years old and Luo Lan is 33 years old. These ten years are like a cycle of reincarnation.
At this time, the war horses are running slower and slower, and Tang and Zhou will also pass through the entire river valley area.
However, the dark clouds of birds have come to the top of their heads.
Tang Zhou, who was fighting the horse, only felt that he suddenly fell. After the horse he sat down was completely exhausted, he could no longer bear the rushing power, and in an instant he fell to the ground with Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou was a little dirty when he stood up hastily. He immediately checked the pistol on his waist and turned on the insurance.
He can't wait for these sparrows to fall, because if he is also controlled by the artificial intelligence behind the nanorobot, the other party can easily read his memory and know how he will deliver the message.
It's time to give you this life back, Tang Zhou said with a smile.
Qingzhen knew this promise because they had mentioned it occasionally, and everyone used this matter as a joke to tease Tang Zhou.
However, after receiving the note from the crow, Tang Zhou understood that he would not give the note to others, but to him, a senior officer who had already reached the rank of colonel. In fact, Qingzhen gave him this task and told him silently: The time has come to fulfill his promise.
At this moment, Qingzhen forced herself to cruelly treat everyone as a tool for Luo Lan.
Whether it is Zhang Yuge, Tang Zhou, or Ren Xiaosu, they are all bargaining chips that Qingzhen wants to increase Luo Lan's chances of saving his life.
Qingzhen doesn’t care what others think of him, he only needs his brother to live.
Tang Zhou thought, would he blame Qingzhen for sending himself to death like this?
The answer is not to complain, but to feel relieved.
There is no tragedy, no desolation, only relief.
If you say that you want to give this life, you will definitely give it to you.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhou first walked to the horse and pulled out a signal gun next to the saddle, and pulled the trigger into the sky.
A purple-red signal flare suddenly rose into the sky, like a gorgeous meteor in the daytime.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Zhou looked up at the signal flare plunging into the dark clouds of the birds, trying to fly to a higher place.
The birds seemed to have been on guard for a long time. They split half of them and formed a tight circle around the signal flare to cover the light of the signal flare with their bodies.
But the next moment, the signal flare actually detonated again from it, and it carried out a second combustion and explosion.
In just a moment, the high temperature wrapped all the sparrows and turned them into balls of fireballs flying in the sky, turning them into more conspicuous signal flares.
This is a signal flare specially prepared by Qingzhen for these sparrows.
Tang Zhou smiled. This thing is really sinister.
The sparrow that was not sneaked into the sky by this signal flare began to hover and dive into Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou looked up at the balls of sunlight, and raised his pistol to point it at his jaw.
The message was hidden in him, and he could not let the nanorobot control himself and find out where his thing that conveyed the message was hidden.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that the three war horses were negligent in training since Qingzhen took office, and even if one man and three horses were alone, they could not run through barrier No. 144.
All three war horses ran to death, and they couldn't escape.
So, this incident was a dead end from the beginning.
Tang Zhou smiled: What did I say back then?I said I would give you my life, so you must give it to me. You don’t have to rush to refuse. My life will be useful to you.
After saying that, Tang Zhou pulled the trigger.
The gunshots rang out like thunder.
……
Chief Black Fox, I heard that you have removed the young coach’s house?
Just during the training and repair of the 6th Field Division's recruit battalion, an active recruit suddenly asked.
These recruits were not able to participate in the battle in the Wizard Kingdom before. When everyone heard the seniors happily discussing the war after they came back, they felt itchy.
The black fox, who was leading the team in front, heard this question, turned around and looked at the recruit who was not open and raised, and said seriously: The young marshal did not say that the door could not be removed, he only said that he could not step on the floor.
The new recruits were stunned for a while, and it turned out that the legend was true.
In fact, it was because of this that the Black Fox was sent to train new recruits...
However, just as they were stunned, a purple-red signal flare flew into the sky in the distant wilderness. It was at this time that everyone noticed that the flock of birds in that sky was a bit abnormal... too many, too dense.
Then, the power of the signal board exploded twice swept through countless sparrows, burning the sparrows into fireballs.
Chief Black Fox, what's going on? The new recruit Danzi said in a daze.
The black fox was more sensitive than their intuition, and he immediately shouted: Get ready for battle!
The new recruits immediately loaded the guns. Although they were new recruits, they had been training for about three months, so they would not be a ignorant child.
These three months of training have already made them understand a truth: when the superior gives orders, you just need to do it.
The black fox began to run quickly towards the birds, yelling at the soldiers behind him while running: Keep the battle formation!
After they quickly entered the flock of birds five hundred meters, the black fox had already begun to shoot and try to shock the flock of birds.
However, the flock of birds seemed to be not afraid at all and was still guarding that place.
Now, the black fox became more and more sure of his judgment. There was something wrong with the bird flock, and someone was being besieged by the bird flock... or had died in the bird flock.
When they entered within 350 meters, the black fox stopped rushing in, but directly led the recruits to half kneel down and began to shoot at the flock of birds in the sky.
The effective range of the 178-23 automatic rifle in their hands is 400 meters.
The so-called effective range is generally within this range, and the lethality of the firearm can meet all people's expectations for it.
The 500 new recruits had not been very good at shooting, but there were too many birds in the sky, so that any random shot could knock the huge sparrows down to the ground like rain.
The black fox looked at it with a telescope at this time. He clearly saw a young soldier in Qing's uniform lying on the ground, and there were more than a dozen sparrows on the ground, looking for things on the Qing's soldiers as if they were experiencing human nature.
Not only rummaging through the pockets, but also rummaging on the collar, hair, and cuffs, the black fox even saw a sparrow pushing open the Qing soldier's mouth to check his teeth, like a high-level close-fitting search.
What made the black fox feel even more numb was that the sparrows actually pecked the other person's skin with their sharp beaks, as if they were looking for something.
However, the first time the black fox has seen a sparrow searching for humans like this!
Five minutes later, most of the sparrows in the sky were shot down by the recruits, but the sparrows never meant to leave.
Moreover, these sparrows actually began to peck at the body of the Qing soldier!
The black fox gritted his teeth: Keep moving forward, change the magazine, and change the point shot!
Although he didn't know why the Qing soldiers appeared in the northwest, the scene in front of him was too strange and he had to figure out what was going on.
Finally, when there were only more than ten sparrows left, they began to fly south.
The black fox said: The first and second companies were on standby, and the third and fourth companies advanced with attack formations to follow me.
When they came to the place where Tang Zhou's body was, the black fox was stunned when he looked at Tang Zhou's appearance. He was the second only to P5 when he was in the fire, and Tang Zhou was a celebrity around Luo Lan. How could he not know Tang Zhou?
How could such an important Qing army figure suddenly come to the northwest and besieged by a group of inexplicable sparrows?
And what are those sparrows searching for?
Now, due to the mutation of birds in the sky, the entire barrier alliance has lost the concept of air control for decades, but now, threats from the sky have emerged.
Tang Zhou was lying quietly on the ground with bruises and black fox checked the other party's injuries: the fatal injury was a shot that penetrated the top of his head from his jaw, killing himself.
He looked at the war horse who was so tired that he died suddenly: He secreted a lot of sweat, his tongue coating turned white, and there was no external injury. This war horse ran to death. Judging from the foot strength of the mutated horse, he had to run five or six hundred kilometers day and night before he could run to death, right?
Did you commit suicide because you didn’t want to endure the torture?Or do you know that you can't survive, so do you have some fun?
But the Black Fox felt something was wrong. The troops under Qingzhen and Luo Lan have always been famous for their fearlessness.
How could a person like Tang and Zhou commit suicide because of fear?
This kind of death is more like the suicide of a loyal spy in order to keep a secret!
The other party seemed to know that he was waiting for him nearby, so he ran here desperately before releasing the signal flare before he died.
Sorry, brother, the black fox whispered.
After saying that, he took off all the clothes on Tang Zhou, and then carefully screened every inch of the clothes with his fingers, but he found nothing.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers from the recruits saw that the black fox began to squeeze Tang Zhou's skin and muscles with his index finger and thumb inch by inch.
When he pinched his calf, the black fox suddenly felt something strange. He took a deep breath and said apologizing again, and then cut the other party's leg muscles with a dagger.
I saw a thin metal tube hidden close to the skeleton of the calf.
The black fox wiped his bloody hands and unscrewed the metal tube.
A small note inside said: Luo Lan had set off for barrier No. 61, Central Plains, please rescue him.
The black fox stood there on the spot, and he suddenly respected the Qing officer named Tang Zhou.
The other party rushed hundreds of kilometers without sleeping, and even if he lost his life, he would send this message of help to the northwest.
Moreover, if this metal tube wants to hide next to the bones under the muscles, you have to cut your muscles first. The black fox can even imagine how painful it is when the other party hides the metal tube.
There was something that made the Black Fox puzzled. When he cut the other person's calves before, he had never seen such a deep wound, and the sparrow's pecking wound was only on the surface.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
The black fox stood up straight and said to the recruits: He died for the Savior. I hope that one day it is your turn to protect the northwest, you will also have the same firm belief as he is, and salute.
Five hundred soldiers from the recruits battalion saluted neatly, and then carried Tang Zhou's body to evacuate quickly.
Just as the evacuation was about to be no one noticed that there was a sparrow on the treetops in the distance and did not leave with the birds.
In the Ginkgo Manor, Qingzhen had been sitting on the black and gray marble floor for a day and a half, sleeping and resting.
He just wants to wait for one news now.
At this time, Qingyi hurriedly walked in from outside the door: Second brother, on the edge of the Jingshan Mountains, a garrison said that he saw a giant suddenly rushing out of the Jingshan Mountains, looking like a lizard.The garrison failed to stop it, and the machine guns could not penetrate its skin.
Qingzhen looked up at Qingyi: It should be a monster in the crater of Jingshan Mountain. Where did it go?
Going north!Qingyi said.
Qingzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: The news from Tang Zhou has been delivered.
What's the meaning?Qingyi was puzzled.
Although I don’t know what happened to this monster, it is probably one of the backup plans of artificial intelligence zero. Qingzhen said calmly: This backup plan has been hidden in Jingshan for so long and obviously wants to deal with our Qing family, but now it has temporarily changed its plan, which means that someone has forced it to change its plan.
Then what is this lizard doing in the north?Qingyi asked.
Stop Ren Xiaosu from going to the Central Plains.
Is that... Before Qingyi finished speaking, he found that Qingzhen looked boundlessly lonely: What's wrong, second brother.
Qingzhen turned his head and looked at Qingyi and said softly: Tang Zhou is dead.
From the moment the news was successfully conveyed, Qingzhen guessed Tang Zhou's fate, because it was the fate he arranged himself.
But what made Qingzhen the most sad was that Tang Zhou knew that Qingzhen asked him to die this time, but he still went.
Is that big brother saved?Qingyi asked: Ren Xiaosu should be going, right?
If Ren Xiaosu rushed there as soon as he got the news and my brother followed the original schedule, then the time would be in time. Qingzhen said: But Ayi, you have to understand that any errors occur in this link...
Because of this danger, Qingzhen wanted to accompany Luo Lan to the Central Plains earlier.
Now, Qingzhen has tried his best, and the rest can only depend on fate.
On this huge chess board, Zero Zheng Hei took the lead, Qing Zhen made a staggering move, and the two sides fought in the dark with the most ruthless means, but the chess movement was about to be bright to the bright spot.
……
In the barrier No. 144, in the small house where Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin lived, a group of officers were moving small stools and sitting in rows of yards.
In front of them was a blackboard, and Ren Xiaosu was giving a lecture: The true eye in your hands is the weapon of the wizards, and all witchcraft must be released through this true eye.Now you hold the eyes of true vision in your hands and breathe with your eyes closed. You can enter your own meditation world with just a hundred breaths. In the meditation world, you can practice witchcraft.
Zhang Xiaoman, who was sitting on the stool, suddenly asked: Young Marshal, why is the color of this true eye different? I see that Dashiyou and P5092 are both golden, why am I red?
Ren Xiaosu explained: The different colors of the eyes of true vision represent different levels.Generally speaking, the higher the level, the stronger the witchcraft will be.The red level in your hand is second only to the black level in my hand.
Zhang Xiaoman said in confusion: Is it true?
But when I saw a big fool look at Zhang Xiaoman enviously: The young marshal actually gave you the red stone, the young marshal is so nice to you!
Wang Yun also said: It's Ah Zhang Xiaoman, we all have only gold, but you are red, thank you young man quickly.
Zhang Xiaoman said thank you to Ren Xiaosu in a confused manner and also provided a thank you coin.
But he always felt that these bad players were playing him, but he had no evidence!
After all, he had never been to the Wizard Kingdom and could not find someone from the Wizard Kingdom to ask about the matter clearly.
As a result, a soldier suddenly ran over: Young Marshal, the Black Fox is back, he wants to see you.
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows: Didn’t he say he could train for a month before coming back?
The soldier replied pantingly: He said that he had met Tang Zhou of the Qing family, and the other party had already died in the north of the river valley area. Now the Black Fox Chief is taking his body and returning to Barrier No. 144 with an extremely important news.
Ren Xiaosu's expression changed, as if bad news always suddenly came in such unprepared time.
