After ten years, I set foot on this land again and suddenly realized... times have changed.
The sky here is dark all year round, with only a few hours of light every day, and periods of slightly stronger brightness lasting only a few dozen minutes.
But that's not the case everywhere.
In some places, day and night are as usual despite the deliberate actions of the "upper world".
Even if there was something that would affect the day and night in those places they would leave it alone!
All this is not a question of whether it is difficult, but whether it is possible to think about it.
Due to various reasons, there are only a few places with light in the lower world now, while most areas are filled with endless darkness!
Dark clouds have shrouded the sky all year round, making the day look like night, while the night makes it impossible to see even one's fingers.
A kind of grass that people are not familiar with spreads all over the ground, and tall buildings stand tall in the dark sky. The houses that countless people once spent half their lives looking for are now abandoned in blocks, and they wander in silence in this silence.
The light from the headlights of the military vehicles shines directly ten miles away, and countless "old friends" from the past are driving the vehicles in the darkness on the old roads.
They passed through dilapidated and old towns, and the bright headlights disturbed "their" quiet night as they drove through the towns.
The small building on the roadside is so dark that it evokes infinite reverie and mystery. It makes people want to go in and find out, but they are also instinctively afraid of the darkness and the unknown.
The hundreds of meters long army drove past without making any interaction with the town except for the roar of their vehicles.
It seems as if the two have nothing to do with each other, as if they are strangers to each other.
Walking to the wilderness, I looked around in all directions with only a glimmer of light. The boundless wilderness was like a solid wall, blocked in the darkness with no light on both sides.
The feeling becomes more and more profound as time goes by, and eventually it is so overwhelming that one can hardly breathe.
Occasionally, when the flashlight is swept, the beam cuts through the darkness, cuts into the deep darkness and sinks into it like a quagmire. Even this light cannot escape this world without light.
Wearing half armor, No. 56 sat on the roof of the chariot, holding his helmet in his arms. He looked at this abandoned place of civilization and remembered what he once said here.
"The lamp burns a hole in the night."
Wuliu lamented: Yes, this thick night really needs light to burn and burn through it! Dispel this darkness!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the flashlight in No. 56's hand was swung, the darkness where the light beam just passed caught up with it at the speed of light.
"Hate the night!"
The irritated Wuliu jumped into the tank. The tank was not dark, and it was very bright! But it was a bit too boring...
Wuliu reached out and opened the flip cover of the communicator. When the flip cover was opened, it was connected to the channel of the 911 Battalion.
Then the faces of Yunfei, Miller, and He Xinlian appeared on the screen one after another.
Looking at He Xinlian's face, Wuliu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where were the mother and daughter back then? Do you still know how they are now?"
Chapter 56: Thinking about it now, I suddenly thought of another question: Hey, it seems that Lao He was not his own soldier at the beginning? He was a subordinate of Battalion Commander Zuo Ming, maybe... It took so long that I can’t remember clearly.
I remember Zuo Ming, a very good soldier, who completed his mission...and left himself a huge shooting company...and the mother and daughter are Zuo Ming's widow and orphan.
He Xinlian suddenly showed a happy smile: "Don't worry, we have been settled according to the treatment of the family members of the second-level heroes. It has been more than ten years, and the little girl who was there now will definitely have to wait for you to see her.
Surprised!"
Yun Fei on the other side also chimed in: "That's right. Su He wanted to give her some exercise before, but when he refused, the little girl pointed at his nose and scolded him. Hahaha, I was so happy.
, or that guy Su He is too official now, his ideas and methods are very different from ours, hey..."
"Oh? I'm also interested after hearing what you said. I remember that little girl was unusually calm at the time. She should be a good seedling if we cultivate it." Wuliu thought to himself.
The so-called Su He wants to help her with her activities is to use various means and methods to get her into the "upper class" level, which... will bring countless benefits.
Wuliu pursed his lips. It’s hard to say whether this is good or bad, utilitarian or humane...
"You're still a little girl, now you're eighteen, you're an adult, okay?" Miller couldn't help complaining.
Hearing what he said, it felt really real!
Judging from the looks on the three of their faces, they actually look like they are in their twenties or thirties. It is definitely a bit inconsistent to say that someone is a girl at the age of 18.
"Time flies really fast. Those days just passed by just like a book, turning the page as soon as you close the page..." Wuliu shook his head and said, just like what he said, it felt like that personal experience
It's like time has turned over
I ran away with my mother and daughter for two hundred miles. Looking back now, I feel like a bystander. When I close the book, what I remember is both familiar and strange.
Seeing Wuliu say this, the three of them also fell into memories, which were also their most sincere memories.
A life-or-death friendship that has been tested by life and death. The so-called life-or-death friendship is the trust that you can trust with your life to the other person!
It is this trust and the deep-rooted dependence on each other that have made their friendship so sincere that they can ignore the passage of time!
He who has this trust is never alone.
The team meanders forward in the darkness
Although there are some damage and obstacles on the road, it is not a problem. The chariot can go wherever there is a road!
At the same time, there are hundreds of teams, large or small, heading towards that goal at the same time!
"Buzz buzz..."
Roaring sounds and overwhelming tremors passed overhead. No. 56 opened the hatch and climbed out to see that the sky was already bright!
A cluster of hundreds or thousands of fighter jets appeared in the sky!
The first few planes threw out flares intermittently, illuminating a world that had been buried in darkness for a long time.
In an instant, the earth is covered with yellow-brown land, black and green vegetation, clear lakes, rivers and ponds, and buildings painted in various colors.
In an instant, these colors bloomed with their brilliance again.
For a moment, those flowers and plants with their heads lowered seemed to want to raise their heads with joy.
For a moment, the little animal in the grass raised its head in confusion, and stared blankly at the sky with eyes that were no longer used to the bright light.
Wuliu raised his hand and "clicked" to take a photo.
Chapter completed!
