In the early morning, the sun shone into dormitory 303. Lu Mingfei sat blankly at the desk, his fingers moving on the red dots on the notebook, and he was curled up under the quilt with some dark circles under his eyes.
Fingel, who was on the upper bunk across the aisle, was snoring constantly. The only noise he made could be heard in the entire dormitory. The frequency was rising and falling with the rise and fall of his belly covered with quilts. One could imagine that the conductor in his throat was directing the entire room.
The orchestra in the respiratory tract plays music in a rhythmic manner.
Lu Mingfei couldn't bear it anymore so he pushed open the window. There was a faint noise of people outside the window. From time to time, there were crackling sounds of burning and the sound of huge objects collapsing. Those who didn't know it thought it was demolition, but in fact they were doing it.
The situation is no different from this. After all, any new building needs to demolish the original ruins.
He sat on the upper bunk of the double bed and looked out from the window on the third floor. What he saw was the college shrouded in light black smoke. Even with the sunshine and the remaining green plants, it could not cover up the beauty of the school two days ago.
A crisis that almost destroyed the entire college in one night. A large number of green plants were burned, leaving behind dark bodies. Gray silica covered every place in the college like heavy snow that arrived in August. Each ancient and majestic building
The buildings are full of cracks or missing arms and legs.
Some are more miserable, such as the Amber Pavilion, which is only a ruin, and some are better, such as the church or the Norton Pavilion. In the former, a large hole was opened in the ceiling of the church, and the interior was filled with solidified and cooled lava that was difficult to handle; in the latter, the Norton Pavilion was burned down.
Half of it was burned, and the other half was left unburned after being rescued by the Lion Heart Club. The overall look is somewhat impressionistic art style that combines lushness and withering to highlight the contrast.
The collapse of a large number of buildings and the ashes of greenery are just small things. The most important and most reassuring thing is that the real core and lifeblood of Kassel College will always be its students and teachers.
Among the ruins, white tents stood up one after another, blooming in the college like white flowers emerging from the ground overnight. In the large camp composed of tents, many students and doctors in coats were walking through, and the noise was loud and clear.
An aroma hidden in the smell of gunpowder was carried over by the morning breeze from afar, and poured into Lu Mingfei's nose, causing him to sneeze moderately, and at the same time, his stomach trembled at the right time.
He screamed, and the current time was displayed on the lower right corner of the laptop on his lap:
2010, August 23, 7:03.
Two days after the Dragon King sniper battle.
It is now seven o'clock in the morning, when normal college students should still be dreaming about Zhou Gong. Breakfast has already been served. Dining carts are being pushed in the tent area. The chefs who used to be in the back kitchen of the cafeteria have become...
The owner of the mobile food truck, because the original cafeteria has now been filled with solidified magma. I wonder if the Dragon King also knows that in war, logistics must be cut off to burn food and grass. When the college turned into half a volcano, the cafeteria suffered a magma eruption.
The blow turned into a scorched earth.
But fortunately, the cafeteria is not the only place where food is stored. The logistics of Cassel College has not been disrupted. In the morning, CC1000 express trains were dispatched from Chicago to supply supplies. Now every train flowing in the tent area
The dining car was filled with a sumptuous breakfast, including free Munich sausages and orange juice, onion toast, creamy corn soup, as well as limited edition Spanish ham and butter crab paste that were in season in August, which you might not have been able to buy if you had money in the past.
Available in unlimited quantities today.
There must be supplies before the war, and there must be carnival after the war, but until the college cannot find a place for the carnival for the time being, the atmosphere and standard of the celebration must keep up. Food is probably the best stimulant to arouse emotions.
According to the words of the chef who rolled up his sleeves to reveal the colorful tattoos on his knotted forearms, this is what every surviving student and teacher in this college deserves. Due to his bloodline, he cannot become one of the heroes when the dragons invade.
As a front-line combat force, we can only retreat to the second line to cheer for and celebrate the warriors.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but believe the chef's regret, because when Norma organized the retreat of the "old, weak, sick and disabled", the chef almost carried kitchen knives and pots and pans to fight the intruders.
When he was young, the head chef was also a fierce man who dared to put dragon meat on the menu of his life.
In short, under Norma's timely warning that night, except for the combatants who chose to stay in the battle and suffered heavy injuries, most of the lower-grade students and professors did not suffer too many casualties. In addition, the pole was stuck in the Hall of Valor Square.
The red flag symbolizing victory is still waving on the ruins, which in itself is something worth celebrating.
The Battle of Constantine was won, and the Kassel Academy was victorious.
This is an indisputable fact. According to the history of dragon slaying throughout the ages, no matter what the casualties or the price paid, as long as the hybrids successfully nail the dragons to the ground and drain their last drop of blood, then as humans, they will
Even if they win a great victory, even if their homes turn into scorched earth, and even if their relatives melt into the soil, they have no reason to cry and grieve. Rebuilding and looking forward to the surviving comrades around them is what they should do.
In fact, if we want to seriously compare it with previous historical battles, Kassel College’s Dragon King sniper battle this time was not just a win, it was simply a loss.
Although the first group of senior students who faced the battle were seriously injured, the number of 'deaths' that could not be saved was controlled to a limited level. Under the control of Norma, or 'EVA' and the temporary commander Caesar Garrison,
Under the control of Tusuo and the professors stationed in the control room, most of the casualties were controlled to the extent that they could be effectively rescued.
Every injured patient received field rescue as soon as possible under Norma's supervision. There were not many cases of direct death. After all, there were very few unlucky people who encountered the outbreak of the Dragon King's 'Jun Yan' head-on without any obstacles. But if
Once there is, you can skip the rescue step directly.
In comparison, the thing that really caused the most serious damage to the academy was not the Dragon King, but the invasion of a group of dangerous hybrids that was a man-made disaster before the Dragon King.
At least from Lu Mingfei's perspective, three compatriots from the student union died at the beginning of the invasion. Those three white statues are still reflected in his retinas. He has not been able to sleep well in the past two days and will wake up when he closes his eyes.
Seeing those three figures, there was another burning cross in the sky they reached out to touch.
The casualties caused by disputes between people are much greater than the Dragon King's rage. This is undoubtedly a rather ironic thing, but not many people care about it now, because the persecutors who inflict pain
They had already paid off their sins with greater violence, and their corpses erected in the ruins were the best comfort to the survivors. At least that's what the people in the student union thought. They erected them with stones in the center of the ruins of the Amber Hall.
There are three statues. In the past two days, people have been stopping there all the time. Instead of resenting the perpetrators, it is better to commemorate the victims. This is probably the best way to commemorate the achievements of the predecessors.
In short, the war is over, even if it is temporarily.
The entire Kassel College is in a state of ruin. The devastated college will always be rebuilt, and the green trees and lawns that were once everywhere will soon return. According to the people in the equipment department, the college is now covered with plant ash.
They are all made of high-purity silica. After this autumn and winter, and next spring, I guess the greening department in the school will have to worry about how to prune the lush green plants.
Lu Mingfei took one last look at the laptop screen on his lap. The Night Watch forum on it still contained posts listing the heroes of that "war night", from the 'S' class who descended from the sky with the 'Seven Deadly Sins', to
From Caesar, who commanded the students to cross fire with the Dragon King, to President Lionheart, who was sleeping next to the accumulator without any force on the top of the lonely mountain, everyone had a highlight moment, and every post on the top list received almost 10,000 likes.
As a vent for war emotions, the entire forum was ignited. Exciting, brilliant, and funny things and remarks were constantly shared, diluting the sadness. Seniors and sisters from all over the world who did not participate in this battle all passed through these
The post recreated the battle that night. Every corner and every highlight was pieced together. I wish I could add a song of "EM20#070720" by Sagi Shiro to lighten the atmosphere.
Everything proves that things will always develop for the better. At least Lu Mingfei is willing to believe so. At least now he is still alive, having survived the rain of bullets and the anger of the king, and is still alive and well, although who probably
I don’t know if he was the one who gave the Dragon King the fatal shot and gave the main attacker a perfect assist?
A little frustrated, but not too sad. After all, the feeling of being a hero behind the scenes is a bit refreshing. Although most people don't know your contribution, there are only a few people who really need to know.
Based on his understanding of Lin Nian, as long as you reveal some clues about some things, the other party can probably deduce the cause and effect. Lu Mingfei was the first to arrive at the scene after firing the shot, which can already explain some problems.
, but it was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to discuss these details with Lin Nian.
After the Dragon King transformed into a burning cross in the sky, Lin Nian left the battlefield. No one knew where he went. At least he didn't go back to dormitory 303 to sleep for a while. To be precise, almost no one could sleep that night.
Even until the next day, no one could close their eyes with such swelling of blood vessels.
As for Lu Mingfei, he was worried almost all the time that night whether the foothills of Cassel College would suddenly be surrounded by a group of U.S. Army troops, and whether a group of combat patrol planes would fly past in the sky.
The huge momentum of 'Candle Dragon' when it was released on the verge of release could not be hidden at all. The entire solitary mountain turned into an active volcano and spewed lava into the surrounding wilderness. It even ignited a large sea of violets and Annabell flowers to form a small-scale mountain.
fire.
It is almost impossible for this phenomenon not to attract attention from all walks of life, right? Lu Mingfei even uploaded a live video of Chicago that night on YouTube. The southern suburbs of Illinois completely showed the phenomenon of sunrise late at night, and the background sound
There is also a vague divine voice, and the title of the video is "God walks on earth, and heaven only accepts religious people". The number of clicks and retweets alone exceeded one million in a few hours.
.
But no matter how much Lu Mingfei waited, he was not surrounded by tanks and fighter jets. Cassel College was still so independent from the world. No one came to trouble them. Everything seemed to be forgotten. In a short period of time,
There would be no commotion. He was quite puzzled and unbelievable about this. As for how the academy did it, we can only find out by asking insiders.
But the problem is that no one with knowledge of the matter has taken the initiative to approach Guo Mingfei in the past two days. After the suspension of classes, everyone seemed to be busy with endless things, including post-disaster reconstruction, geological survey and geological survey (a few people suspected
The geology of Gushan has permanently become a volcano). Even Lin Nian’s sister, Lu Mingfei, can see her busy in the tent of the Psychology Department every day to pick up students who are suspected of suffering from stress trauma disorder. But Lu Mingfei
, he seemed to be forgotten, no one looked for him.
There is a sense that the hero behind the scenes hides his merits and fame, but is he hiding his excellence too much? There are really no two people who came out to report that he fired the crucial shot, and quietly wrote him into Slaying the Dragon
Top list? Even looking up, he had thought about it in his dream last night:
[As we all know, there was an invasion of dragons in the college not long ago. I believe everyone is familiar with the dragon invasion. You may be surprised why the dragons invaded. I am also surprised. Let me let you know about it.
!
In the battle of dragon invasion, everyone recognized that the top 1 player was Lin Nian, the ultimate hero who slayed the dragon. However, the editor wants to say that few people knew that there was actually a top 0 player hidden in everyone's mind that night.
Out of sight, he made an indelible and huge contribution to this battle.
Speaking of this, many people may be wondering why everyone doesn’t know about such a powerful person? The editor also feels strange, and this is the main content of our next issue]
ifies
Lu Mingfei's delusions were interrupted like a thunderous snoring sound. He glanced at Fingel, who had his back to him on the upper bunk opposite. There was some helplessness and confusion on his face. If he remembered correctly, this guy was sleeping in the bed.
After showing off his power in the Platinum Hall, no news about him came out. In the past two days, this guy was lying in the dormitory like him, as if he had been forgotten by everyone. No one remembered them and felt sorry for their survival.
Cried with joy.
Many people left them forever during the Dragon Slaying Battle. Every day, I could see students who were emotionally unstable and crying. However, Lu Mingfei always had an unreal feeling about the passing of these people. The only thing in his impression was the cold and cold words in the statistical bulletin.
of numbers.
Maybe only when a familiar person who is truly known and has left a mark in life suddenly leaves, the person involved will feel the suddenness and sadness. As a real senior of Cassel College, few people in the school appreciate it.
I don’t know Geer. Perhaps he is the one who can most appreciate the sadness of the world after this war. In his current dream, is he also commemorating and saying goodbye to those who have passed away?
Looking at it from this perspective, maybe Fingel, who has been sleeping soundly all the time, is actually a good man who can really hold back his sadness and boredom?
Perhaps, just maybe
After being silent for a long time, Lu Mingfei scratched his head like a chicken coop, but couldn't get the answer he wanted.
He twitched his nose and smelled the aroma of breakfast outside the window. He turned off the laptop screen and got out of bed lightly. But before he landed, Fingel's confused voice came from the upper bunk.
“Junior brother, please have two pieces of garlic bread, three white grilled sausages, and a portion of soy pork knuckle with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes? Why do I still smell the smell of Spanish ham and hairy crabs?”
"" Regardless of tragedy or not, there are still heroes, but this amount of food is really a fucking pig. Are you trying to take back the share of your comrades who can't eat this breakfast?
Lu Mingfei thought silently.
Then he took a breath and regained his composure, put on his slippers, opened the door to the dormitory and trotted out, leaving Fingel alone in the dormitory.
“”After a long time, Fingel, who was on the upper bunk, gently raised his hand.
Then he scratched his butt, turned over, and continued to sleep.
