Chapter 513: A risk without regrets

2days ago traverse Novels 5
Early November.

The east coast has already begun to winter, and although it has not snowed like last year, the deep sky is still covered with thick clouds.

Today is undoubtedly a sad day for the residents of Ideal City.

Their heroes did not eventually return to their hometown.

After waiting for a long time, what I waited for was just such a result.

Many people can't accept it.

Press conference site.

The spacious venue was crowded with people, and reporters from various media gathered together.

Although Wu Changnian, deputy director of the General Management Department, had just gotten off the plane, the relevant news had already spread in the city two days ago.

So much so that others were still napping in the sky, and the people on the ground had already helped him arrange his itinerary after landing.

While the press conference was officially started, there was still some time, and everyone at the scene started to communicate in a low voice.

We spent billions to fight a local war for this... and it turned out to be like this in the end?

I don't know what the Council thinks.

What can I think?When our people arrived, they were already cold, and it was a few months ago.

Why.

Actually, what makes me care more about is the enlightenment meeting...

Indeed, replacing people's memories... sounds like goosebumps.

Is that really the organization of the blue jackets?

I hope the refuge in Yunjian Province does not have those guys.

We should not pin our hopes on our wishes, what should the Council do to make sure we don’t have those guys around us!

The whispers grew louder and louder.

People are not only concerned about the Trail Blazers, but the investment of hundreds of billions of yuan has been wasted, and they also have a budget of billions.

Most people are more concerned about the terrifying enlightenment meeting.

If the fruits of today's labor may be usurped someday in the future, no matter how much value is created, it is meaningless.

No one can accept it. One day after get off work, I went home, and I met a pair of strange eyes, and I couldn't accept a group of little ghosts hiding in the dark and secretly replacing themselves.

More than 5,000 kilometers, it is actually not too far. There is always a way to go when I think about it.

At the same time, in the preparation room next to the press conference site, Wu Changnian, who had just got off the plane and transferred here, walked towards the scene before he could drink a sip of water.

He chased him with documents, his office secretary persuaded him earnestly.

...You can sit down and rest for a while!

No, I have rested on the plane for a long time, from the Great Desert, to the Lion Kingdom, to the City of Dawn, and to here.There is also a meeting of the Council in the afternoon, and I must first get things done at the press conference... This is the task assigned by the Council.Wu Changnian opened the holographic computer pen and looked at today's schedule. His scalp was numb.

He was just a deputy, and it was beyond his expectations to be so busy.

but

It may be a good thing to be busy all of a sudden.

This is a good omen. Maybe it won’t take too long to go further in his career.

Thinking of this, the slightly tired face became energetic again.Although he had just walked up and walked around, he was a tough guy who had been on the battlefield.

The reporters outside looked aggressive, and they probably wouldn't spare you easily.The secretary beside him smiled bitterly and made the final persuasion, but he pushed it away.

Then let them come!

The door was pushed open and the lights flashed.

As soon as Wu Changnian walked to the front desk, before he could speak, an interview drone rushed over, neatly arranged in an arc in front of him, and then a question of talking and talking came one after another.

Mr. Wu Changnian, how do you evaluate this rescue operation?

Vice Minister Wu, we spent countless resources to build the Trail Blazer, sent the best personnel to the wilderness, but in the end we found nothing... Do you think this is a waste of resources?

Does the Council have nothing to say about this?

Will the downturn in Binder Group's share price affect changes in its board seats?

I heard that only one person was rescued, and that person happened to be the eldest son of Blade Group CEO and member of the company's Supreme Council. I wanted to know if there was any bias in the rescue work.

Should we increase our interference in shelter powers

Enough!Quiet!

The loud voice suddenly burst out, which instantly shocked the audience. The noise at the press conference was silent for a few seconds.

Looking at the scene where the noise stopped and the confused faces, Wu Changnian took a deep breath, slowed down his speech and continued to speak.

Your questions are more than bullets flying by my head. I know you want to ask a lot of things. Captain Lu Yang's video will answer some of your confusion.We will upload that recording to the endpoint cloud and save it in the museum for everyone to check... Before that, listen to me!

He paused, and his tone was a little low.

Today...I want to tell a sad story.

A group of brave young men embarked on an expedition with their ideals. They traveled through mountains and rivers, through plains, forests, mountains and deserts, not to find wealth, nor to land or conquest... but to a legend that has been passed down between us, an ideal that we have repeatedly circulated for a century but no one has verified.

Our civilization is stagnant, we fear risks in the wasteland, fantasizing about an omnipotent savior living in the dormant cabin of Shelter 0, waiting for the great kingdom of heaven to run to our feet... If no one goes there and takes a look, we will never give up that childish idea.

I want to say that he did something amazing.Even though he might have guessed at the beginning that the ending would not be perfect, he still did what he thought he should do.And he had no regrets until the end. So if you ask me if I feel regret or regret, my answer is no.

Never!

His voice was firm and his eyes were as sharp as a torch.

At this moment, the man standing here didn't look like a man in his forties or fifties. Even the vertical wrinkles regained their youthful glow.

Even if only one person was saved, even if no one was saved, this rescue is definitely meaningless to us.

What is more valuable than gold is credit. We keep our promises and will not give up any resident who is wandering outside.We show our uncompromising determination to those who doubt us, and we gain valuable friendship on our journey...

More importantly, our courage!

Looking at the drones in front of him, he saw through them a few faces and the prosperous city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows further away.

We are worthy of our ancestors, and the residents of Shelter 6 and the colonial ship Zhiyuan will be proud of our choice.

We are worthy of being descendants of heroes!

Applause rang out at the scene.

It was drizzling at first, and then it was a storm.

Even the reporter who was ready to ask questions from the beginning was infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but close his palms.

At least the applause at this moment was not for someone on the scene, but for himself.

In the lounge not far away, Ye Shi clapped his hands, and while feeling moved, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Alas, it sounds really nice.

He remembered clearly that those guys gave up more than once.

At least in his opinion, if the manager had not withstood the pressure and promised to end the war within the year, maybe today's press conference would have announced the disappearance of the Trail Blazers.

By the way, he took the ideal city to ride with Vice Minister Wu.

Not only him, but also Lao Bai, Qiang Wind, Mole, etc.

Fang Chang, who was standing aside, smiled, patted the shoulder of the little brother Ye Shi and said.

You kid like to sing opposite tunes. Others are the deputy directors of Ideal City, representing Ideal City and the Council. If he doesn't say that, tell me what to say.

Ye Shi thought about it for a while and tried hard to find a problem.

At least emphasize our role.

Our role does not require any verbal emphasis. Someone will remember our favors. Things that need to be emphasized repeatedly are not that important. Fang Chang patted his shoulder, then looked at the two good brothers Lao Bai and Kuangfeng, and smiled and said, Come with me and take you to see my achievements over the past few months.

The group walked into the elevator and arrived at the observation deck on the top floor of the building.

Ye Shi looked around and saw nothing, and looked at this guy and joked.

Don't tell me that your achievements in the past few months are this rooftop.

Fang Chang didn't say anything, looked at the time on his watch, and then turned his attention to the Council Building in the center of Ideal City.

there.

As soon as the words fell, the gorgeous light and shadow gathered on the walls of the building into a bucket full of fried chicken and a large cup of black drink.

This is not something new to the real world where cultural exchanges are closely related, but it is novel enough for the residents of Ideal City.

Lines of advertising slogans flashed through the screen.

The first store of Kendai Chicken is opening!Food from exotic places is waiting for you!

Store address:...

At first, Ye Shi couldn't understand what was written on it, so after turning on the VM and translating it, he almost laughed out loud.

puff!It’s okay to be willing to beat chickens, there are so many old jokes.

It's really an old joke.Qianfeng couldn't help but complain.

Haha, it means I'm not young anymore.Fang Chang smiled happily.

Lao Bai smiled and teased.

Good guy, you are moving everything in reality into wasteland.

It’s just that the advantages complement each other. The index finger touched the bridge of the nose. Fang Chang continued, Fried chicken and cola were just the first step to test the waters, followed by steamed buns, buns, pancakes, dumplings, pre-made dishes, etc. The plan included a number of fast food brands such as ‘Mr. Xiaomi’. We intend to let these foods from the alliance form a matrix with cultural added value in Ideal City.

We only need to do good standards and quality control. Specific store operations can cooperate with other food and catering companies through franchise, and produce and sell locally... At present, this cooperation model is the most suitable for us.

After all, the alliance cannot send too many employees to the company. One is the problem of difficulty in integrating into the local society, and the other is the possibility of snatching away local job opportunities.

Only providing concepts and creativity is a plan that Fang Chang decided from the beginning.

As long as the fried chicken is labeled as an alliance, the residents of Ideal City will immediately recognize the store certified by the alliance company when they think of the deliciousness of the pastry.

If the operation is in good condition, Changyue Group will open a considerable market worth tens of billions for Niuma Group in Ideal City.

Once the market opens, the residents of Ideal City have accepted the culture of Shuguang City, and some professional life players can also go to Ideal City to open a store.

It is undoubtedly a win-win situation for everyone to benefit from it.

Ye Shi was confused about Fang Chang's business blueprint. After scratching for a long time, he still couldn't understand the business blueprint, so he simply gave up.

Among all the people he knows, Elder Fang is also unique.

He thought he was not the material for this, so he simply lay down.

After talking about the future business plan of Niuma Group, Fang Chang suddenly turned his gaze on Ye Shi and asked with interest.

By the way, I heard from Lao Bai that you have known a researcher from a college recently?What's the situation?

He has always been interested in the academy in that swamp.

It is said that there are more black technology there than companies, but very little flows into the wasteland.

According to the official settings, if you really want to buy top-level equipment, it seems that you still have to find a way to pry open the door of the academy.

Perhaps Ye Shi could become a breakthrough.

However, looking at those gossipy eyes, Ye Shi was confused.

What's the situation.

After patting Ye Shi's shoulder, Lao Bai smiled at Fang Chang.

You underestimate this guy. Not only is the researcher at the college, but even the old ladies in the company are interested in him.

Thinking of the little episode that happened on the plane, Qianfeng nodded subtly.

But I think it's still a little different... Could it be that people just want to take a godson?

Ye Shi: ???

Fang Chang looked at Ye Shi in surprise.

Damn, you kid is not good enough... you don't tell your dad anything.

Get out!I don’t know what you are talking about, I… I haven’t thought about having a partner with NPC anyway.

Seeing that Fang Chang's smiley expression was not as if he had heard his own explanation, Ye Shi, who had blushed, hurriedly ended this inexplicable topic, and then transferred his firepower to the dog himself.

Talk, stop talking about me, when will you go back?

Fang Chang said simply.

I'll go back with you later.

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and looked at this guy with some disbelief.

Just leave like that?

Fang Chang looked at him strangely.

For Ah, what about it?

It's nothing, Ye Shi scratched the back of his head, and I was just a little surprised.

After guessing what he was surprised, Fang Chang said with a smile.

The matter here has been arranged. The specific operation of Changyue Group is subject to professional managers, and we don’t have much to worry about.This cooperation plan is more of a test of the waters. After all, in the past century, Ideal City has never had direct commercial cooperation across such a long distance, so I spent a little more time.

Before this, most of the cooperation between enterprises and the outside world would be carried out indirectly.

For example, the company cooperates with the businessmen in Yunjian Province to trade the resources needed by Ideal City, while the businessmen in Yunjian Province to take the products of Ideal City to a further place to exchange for what they need.

This is undoubtedly a major change.

As for what impact it will have on the future, it is still unknown.

By the way, just a few days ago, Fang Chang had already completed the courses at Yunjian University.

Although it is just some superficial knowledge, it has been enough for him to digest it for a long time.

He will come back to further study if he has the chance in the future and strive to get the graduation certificate.

Li Shuyue, CEO of Ruyue Group, is also full of confidence in this. She also believes that this will become a historic moment... After more than a century, the direct business of Ideal City has once again expanded outside the Yunjian Province, and the residents here finally left the fortress and stepped back into the wasteland.Hearing what she meant, I thanked us quite a bit.

The wind sighed.

It sounds a bit like the beginning of a new story.

Fang Chang smiled.

Yes?

Because of an expedition, the stagnant history began to move forward, and each of them was a witness to this moment.

And in the distant future, when people miss that old version, they will probably remember the names of their participants.

Ye Shi suddenly laughed thief and said.

By the way, I almost forgot to ask, what is the relationship between Li Shuyue and you?

Fang Chang rolled his eyes.

There is nothing to do with it... I also warn you not to talk nonsense everywhere, especially not to talk nonsense there. I am a man with a wife.

Ye Shi: Damn!You are still so particular in the game!

You don’t understand, Fang Chang shook his head and said with a slight gaze, “The reason why true heart is precious is because it is only once.”

Vomiting!

Just as Ye Shi was spitting out with the wall, Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai who looked at them with a smile on his face.

By the way, Lao Bai, what task will the manager give us this time?

Lao Bai said with a grin.

One thousand cubic meters of helium three are waiting for us to recycle in a research institute in Jinchuan Province.

Fang Chang took a breath of cold air.

How much does that take...

Calculated based on the energy consumption in the real world, assuming that the third generation of fusion technology is unlocked, three helium can be consumed in the earth in one year.As for the game, Qianfeng thought for a while, shrugged, and estimated that the energy consumption level of the league was enough to stop the server.

Even for the ideal city, the energy consumed in a year should not exceed this number.

You can imagine what a huge fortune this is!

It was too exaggerated to use the suspension of the server. Fang Chang was surprised and couldn't help but smile. He looked into the sky and said, "The end of us is there."

Stop talking nonsense, how long are you going to take a break?After patting the guy's shoulder, Lao Bai said with a smile, "The manager gives us a lot of time, and it's okay to do it within half a year."

How long to rest?Fang Chang was slightly stunned, I didn't say that, I will go back with you this time

Ye Shi rolled his eyes.

Are you sure?Dolly who doesn't accompany you when she goes back?

A little morning glow appeared on Zhang Zhang's calm face. Fang Chang coughed embarrassedly and looked to the side.

Wait for me for a few days...

Looking at Fang Chang who suddenly became shy, Ye Shi felt goose bumps all over his body, and he looked at the sky with a discomfort.

Damn Ah... I really want to throw this guy off the rooftop!

Looking at Ye Shi, who was distorted because of envy, jealousy and hatred, Lao Bai smiled heartily and patted him on the shoulder hard.

The strong wind standing aside glanced at the boy.

...Didn't you insist on mentioning this?

……

It has been a week since the incident at Shelter 0.

Across the great desert more than 5,000 kilometers, people who have not yet evacuated are still busy, doing some cleaning of the battlefield and finishing the work.

Although some of the fast-running players have returned to the alliance early and even ran to the easternmost part of the Central Continent, Chu Guang, as a manager, has not left yet.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

In the previous battle, there were 120 disciples of the Enlightenment who were captured by the Alliance, and these people would be brought back to Dawn City for trial by the court there.

Although they are refuge residents, the alliance will not be open to the internet because of where they come from and will treat other prisoners equally in terms of punishment.

However, the law used as the standard and the details of sentencing for different levels of personnel still need to be discussed with the public.

But there is one thing that will not change.

Even though they are victims of Enlightenment, they still need to be responsible for becoming accomplices of the demons.

They will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison and undergo labor reform during the imprisonment. They will also undertake voluntary work in welfare institutions such as refugee homes and workers' schools. They will help rescued survivors in the fields of medical and education. They can be reduced in sentences depending on their performance during their sentence.

If special contributions are made during the period of serving sentence, criminal liability can also be reduced.

Punishment is just a means, not an end.The knowledge, skills and experience mastered by refuge residents is a valuable asset, and this is also the legacy left by the League of People.

The stubborn part has died on the battlefield, and Chu Guang feels that these prisoners who are shaken in the face of death are worth giving them a chance to reform.

In addition to the resettlement of more than 100 prisoners, there is another important thing that must be resolved before returning home.

That is the airship that broke down next to the camp.

Although the buffer airbags and parachutes slow down the speed of the airship's fall and impact on the ground, they do not have no effect on the structure of the airship.

Especially the wings on both sides.

When the external armor is blown up and the airship is weight-reduced, the connection between the wings and the airship is damaged, causing it to break during the fall.

Even if the anti-gravity device is normal, this guy can't go anywhere.

Fortunately, those five base cars can process and repair the parts needed for the airship wings and propeller engines, and they have been repaired this week.

In contrast, the situation of the ruling number is much more miserable.

Although Chu Guang didn't ask, you could guess just by looking at Captain Adria's face that the situation must be terrible.

In the past two days, players who plan to go back with the Iron Heart have been wandering around, building an outpost of the alliance in the Great Desert while searching for traces of the Enlightenment.

However, they did not find clues about the Enlightenment, but instead discovered many mutant nests hidden in the ruins.

As a result, nearly 160 rescued survivors were added to the Alliance's camp.

Adding to those who had been before, the number of survivors in the camp has reached nearly three hundred.

What makes people feel complicated is that this may just be the tip of the iceberg of this hell. In a place where the alliance has not yet set foot, I don’t know how many similar tragedies there are...

……

Near the Industrial Building.

A angular concrete slab stands on the steps of the main entrance of the building.On the steep stone slab, there were lines of familiar names Chu Guang was engraved.

The company took away the remains of employees who were left in the wreckage of the Trail Blazer.

Before leaving for a return flight, the man named Yunsong took his 26th commando and found a piece of concrete from nearby as a stone tablet, carved the names of the crew members of the Trail Blazers for souvenirs.

The stronger and more beautiful monument is still under production and will not be delivered from Ideal City to the Alliance next month, and then sent here by the Alliance.

In recent days, Chu Guang has come here every day to check out those familiar names and places where they have fought.

Actually, he always remembers it.

It seems that the gentle Luo Hua is actually a drunkard, but he will not refuse the delicious mushroom soup.

Ais, a beautiful bodyguard who talks very little, likes furry things... like ruta, and she is even willing to spend money on it.

The water truck driver Yuan Hao likes to eat buns. He bought more than 50 at a time and distributed them to his colleagues. That was the beginning of the alliance's light industry.

Li De, the logistics chief, is a cunning old man, but he still paid the reward very properly... There are many interesting people.

In order to earn more Cr from them, Fang Chang and Brother Mole wrote a lot of strategies, and Chu Guang would sometimes secretly take a look and learn it secretly.

As for Lu Yang.

He is a man with a sense of justice, and his decisiveness, courage and kindness are impressive and enviable.

pity……

Many people are gone.

...When I saw Luo Hua, I actually thought that you might have encountered an unexpected situation and this rescue may not have any results.But I still told my friends that our friends were in danger and we were going to pick them up.

We crossed the desert, crossed the valley, marched 2,500 kilometers, defeating the powerful enemy who was considered invincible... It's a pity that we were unable to bring you back in the end.

I once thought for a moment that if I killed those prisoners, I would avenge you, even if those disciples were not murderers, I would have been accomplices of the murderers.But I soon thought again that if you were still alive, you would definitely stop me. Tell me that this is not revenge, but just a pure vent of anger, meaningless and ugly...

With a gentle sigh, Chu Guang placed a bouquet of wild flowers in front of the tombstone.

The right choice is always the hardest, and the Wasteland Era will never end without correcting the errors that have happened and are happening.

You are a bunch of amazing adventurers.

Thank you for being here.

The Heart of Steel has been repaired and will return tomorrow.

However, I will come back to visit you.

After retracting his gaze from the tall concrete stone tablet, Chu Guang turned around and walked down the steps. At this time, something suddenly came from the side.

Chu Guang stopped and looked aside, and saw Rama standing there.

He remembered this brave girl, who was the first to stand up and provide many important clues when everyone was silent.

Seeing through the expression on her face that she wanted to say, Chu Guang said in a gentle tone.

Is there anything wrong?

Rama hesitated for a moment, but the firmness in her eyes did not change. She bit her lower lip, without saying anything, and knelt on one knee on the ground.

Chu Guang sighed.

He was not used to the survivors being like this at any time.

Get up and say.

Hearing the undeniable tone, Rama stood up silently and after a while, she slowly spoke.

Dear Manager, I... want to stay.

It was probably possible that she could guess that she was worried, Chu Guang said patiently.

Go to the league to start a new life, there are many survivors like you, and people won’t care about your past.

I believe you, but... I still want to stay here. After being silent for a long time, Rama whispered, there are still many people here that have not been rescued.

Chu Guang looked at her unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that she would still be so enlightened.

His eyes gradually became serious, and he changed into a serious tone and asked again.

Have you thought about it?

Rama nodded seriously.

Well... this was not my temporary intention, I thought about it for a long time.I'm very grateful for saving us, and if we can, we want to do something.

After she met the girls rescued by the Alliance from the mutant's nest, after she thought of the countless mutant tribes like the Black Stone tribe on this wasteland, she had the idea of ​​staying in her mind.

Even if fighting is not easy, no one is born or awakened. If he does not take the first step, he can only be a lamb in the sheep pen.

In fact, this was not her own idea.

It is also the common idea of ​​many rescued survivors.

Their ideas are simpler. Instead of going to an unknown place and starting a new life, they should start with the land under their feet.

There is plenty of fresh water, a food source, and a built house. Even if you don’t become a soldier, you can take care of crops or breed insects.

Although life here is accompanied by danger, where is the safe place on this wasteland?

At least here, they don’t have to be looked at by strangers…

The surprised gaze turned into praise, Chu Guang nodded at her and said with relief.

I'm glad you think so, I'll leave you some weapons enough to protect yourself.We will also leave some people to act with you and will send people to send supplies from time to time.If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can seek their help. Although they have their own tasks, they will be happy to complete some challenges outside of the tasks.

In addition, if the tools on the Trail Blazer are still usable, they can be recycled.If you can still help others after retirement, that person will feel relieved... Remember to come here occasionally to sweep the graves and say thank you to him.

Rama nodded and said respectfully.

I will keep your teachings in mind.

Not a question, just a suggestion.

Chu Guang turned his gaze to the stone tablet not far away.

He had similar thoughts before.

The company commemorates those brave people in its own way, and the alliance will also commemorate those partners in its own way...

From now on.

This is Kaituo City.
