The young man looked at Chen Han's leaving figure, sighed deeply, and followed him silently.
His name is Lu Yu, a 19-year-old Night Watch recruit who just graduated from the training camp this year. Because his performance in the graduation assessment was not satisfactory, he was transferred to the 332 team stationed in Anta County...
When he walked into the dilapidated forest protection bureau, he saw Chen Han walking out of the room wearing a coat, and there was a light frost in the room, and he felt that his future was gloomy.
A broken city, a broken house, and a team with only one person.
Of course, after he joined, they became two people.
Life in the far north is simply a nightmare for Lu Yu, a native of the south. It wasn't until he came to Anta County that he knew what real ice turns into ice and what extreme cold in the world is...
And the only thing they had that could get rid of the cold, apart from unreliable heating, was a small broken stove.
Fortunately, Captain Chen Han was a nice person and took good care of him, but he really couldn't stand the harsh environment here. He really couldn't imagine how Chen Han could survive here alone for such a long time.
Doesn't he feel bitter?
It had only been a month and a half since Lu Yu joined Team 332, but he had already secretly written three documents to apply for transfer. Before they could be submitted to the top management of the Night Watch, this sudden change shattered all his hopes.
The God of Wind, the outside world, the fog, the strange light...
Lu Yu never dreamed that all these things that a night watchman might never be exposed to in his life would actually happen to him!
When he thought that he was in the mist now and might never be able to return to Daxia, Lu Yu actually missed the dilapidated forest protection bureau. Although the conditions were more difficult, at least there was no danger to his life.
The two of them carried passers-by on their backs and braved the darkness and cold to the parking lot on the underground floor of the shopping mall.
Several stoves were burning in the parking lot, illuminating a dark corner. Warm heat filled the entire garage. Beside these stoves, densely packed Anta County residents lay unconscious, their brows frowning subconsciously.
, like having a nightmare.
Chen Han carried the passerby behind him to a stove, put him down gently, picked up the blanket next to him and covered him, and reached out to touch his forehead.
piping hot.
Chen Han sighed. After hesitating for a moment, a faint white light appeared in his palm.
"Senior Chen Han, you can no longer use your mental power!" Seeing this scene, Lu Yu said solemnly, "Your own soul has been injured by the strong wind and you are still suffering from a high fever. How can you use so much mental power anymore?"
If you open the forbidden ruins, your body will really collapse."
"Quiet." Chen Han said calmly.
He poured his spiritual power into the forbidden ruins. Under that white light, the paleness on passers-by's faces slowly faded, and their hot foreheads gradually cooled down.
Chen Han's Forbidden Ruins is Sequence 389 [Micro Treatment]. As its name suggests, it is not aggressive, and it is not even very outstanding in the field of treatment. Compared with other Forbidden Ruins, it is said to be a night watchman.
The forbidden ruins at the end of the middle crane is not an exaggeration either.
Of course, if it weren't for the low practicality of his Forbidden Ruin, he wouldn't have been transferred to Team 332.
The light in Chen Han's palm gradually faded. He removed his hand from the passerby's forehead and tried to stand up from the ground. He felt dizzy and uncontrollably fell towards the stove behind him.
Fortunately, Lu Yu had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him.
"Senior Chen Han, are you okay?" Lu Yu asked worriedly.
He reached out and touched Chen Han's forehead. He subconsciously shrank back due to the heat. He frowned and said, "Why is it so hot..."
Chen Han shook his head and opened his chapped lips slightly, "I'm fine... Just help me to the side and rest for a while."
Lu Yu helped Chen Han sit down next to the stove. Chen Han's pale face looked at the raging fire in the stove, red by the light of the fire. He reached out and slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket and used the fire to burn it.
It ignites.
He held the cigarette in his mouth with slight trembling, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled...
His expression softened a lot.
"Senior Chen Han, why are you still smoking now?" Lu Yu asked with a frown.
Chen Han smiled slightly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Yu, "This is not an ordinary cigarette. There is a trace amount of military stimulants in it, which can refresh you."
Lu Yu was stunned, "Where did you get this kind of thing?"
"A treasure left by a senior."
"This kind of thing is not common in this era... Is that a veteran?"
"Um."
"How is he doing now?"
Chen Han's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and then he said calmly, "Sacrificed."
Lu Yu was startled and didn't say anything. He silently handed the cigarette in his hand to the stove, lit it, and took a long puff.
"Cough cough cough..." He coughed violently.
"This stuff doesn't taste good. It takes a long time to get used to it." Chen Han smiled.
Lu Yu sighed helplessly, holding a cigarette in his mouth and staring at the fire in front of him, somewhat lost in thought.
"what's on your mind?"
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Nothing."
Chen Han glanced at him and said, "Actually, I can probably guess what you are thinking..."
"Um?"
"You must be thinking... what the fuck is this damn fate."
Lu Yu was stunned.
Chen Han's eyes reflected the fire in front of him and he murmured to himself, "Why are you so unlucky? Not only was you assigned to such a shabby place and suffered every day, but you also encountered such a ghost thing as the wind god coming. Now even the little boy
My life is on the line..."
"Senior Chen Han...how did you..." Lu Yu looked at Chen Han in shock.
"Because that's what I thought too."
"..."
"During this period, have you secretly written a few transfer applications?"
Lu Yu's body trembled and he said awkwardly, "I...I...I didn't..."
"to be honest."
"...Three servings."
Chen Han nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by this answer.
Lu Yu glanced at Chen Han cautiously, "Senior Chen Han, aren't you angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Chen Han chuckled, "A few months ago, I was exactly the same as you now, thinking about how to leave this team every day. If I'm angry with you, aren't I just slapping myself in the face?
?"
Lu Yu asked curiously, "Then why are you still here, senior?"
Chen Han was silent for a moment.
"Because someone has said that borders must always be guarded.
He made me understand a truth. The value of a night watchman does not lie in how high his team number is, nor in how grand the city he guards, nor in how many meritorious deeds he has won... but in the 'watch' itself.
.
When you stand in a city and are ready to devote your life and youth to these people, your value has been realized."
Chen Han's eyes swept across the hundreds of residents lying on their backs in the underground garage, and he slowly spoke:
"When everything is calm, we can do what we want to do, develop a side business, integrate into society, or guard a forest...
Now the sky is falling,
We... must hold up their piece of the sky."
Lu Yu stared blankly at Chen Han's side face that was red by the firelight, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything at all.
A soft sound came from the entrance of the underground garage.
Chen Han, who was suffering from a high fever, stood up at an almost lightning speed. The straight knife hanging on his waist fell into his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the sound.
He was like a cheetah that sensed the approach of an enemy and showed its ferocious claws next to the fire.
On the dark street.
A figure in black clothes, carrying a sword box on his back, walked slowly.
