This officer's name is Li Feng. Although he is about the same age as Qin Mu and is only in his early twenties, he has been in the army for 5 years.
Several years of military life have carved many traces of suffering on his face.
The most eye-catching thing is the scar that stretches from his right ear to his neck, like a giant centipede lying on his face.
Because of his father, Liangyan had an inexplicable respect for soldiers. After the pheasant was roasted, he generously pulled off a thigh and handed it to Li Feng.
Just when Liangyan wanted to give out the remaining pheasants, Li Feng stopped him.
"Good brothers, they don't need it, you eat what's yours."
As he spoke, he also asked a soldier to take out a box of marching rations from the infantry fighting vehicle.
"I'm sorry, you two, but this marching ration will be exchanged for your pheasants."
"No, no," Liangyan declined hastily.
Yu Qingge pushed the good words away nonchalantly:
"Since General Li is kind, we will accept it. I wonder where General Li will go?"
Yu Qingge's vigilance made Li Feng's eyes light up:
"What kind of general am I? I'm just a lucky veteran at best."
As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers behind him.
"Sister Yu, you should have noticed something strange about them, right? In fact, I have nothing to hide."
Yu Qingge smiled contemptuously in her heart. She discovered some problems with these things as soon as the soldiers got off the car.
Except for Li Feng, these soldiers were just zombies. She used her spiritual sense to investigate and found that these soldiers had no spiritual sense.
"You should all be from a large sect, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to pass through the ruins of Shanghai."
There is nothing to hide, good advice, Yu Qingge nodded in unison.
"Actually, I'm not here to say hello to you because of this pheasant. I just want to find someone to talk to."
Looking for someone to talk to? Kind words, Yu Qingge couldn't help but mutter.
"You should all know these soldiers behind, they are just a few dead people who are still alive."
Li Feng took off his helmet as he spoke.
After a slight sound of gears turning, his helmet was taken off.
A horrifying scene suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
There is not a single hair on Li Feng's head, and only seven or eight data interfaces are embedded in his scalp.
"We are just ordinary soldiers guarding the border. This helmet is our data terminal and it will follow us throughout our lives."
Liang Yan asked with a puzzled face:
"General Li, we don't quite understand what you're talking about."
Li Feng smiled. Being called a general by a large sect would be considered a boast when he returns to the hub for supplies in the future.
"It's like this. After we ordinary people join the army, we can only do patrols and alarm tasks.
But there are all kinds of intruders, and no one knows how they will die, so Shangfeng developed this data terminal."
Li Feng knocked on his helmet as he spoke, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"If we die in battle, whoever picks up this data terminal and brings it back, the logistics supply department will clone the owner's copy based on the terminal data. It will be them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the few soldiers behind him.
"In order to save data transmission time, the data terminal only retains our most basic survival instincts and all combat qualities, which means that it can perform tasks.
A first-generation soldier leads several clone soldiers and an infantry fighting vehicle, which forms the most basic battle sequence and serves as a wake-up call to resist the invasion of those creatures."
this?
Such horrifying information has shocked Liangyan, and even the well-informed Yu Qingge was a little moved. It was obviously the first time she had heard of it.
"Okay, it's boring to say this. You are big shots. If you have the opportunity to join the army in the future, you can take more care of us ordinary soldiers and save a few of us from dying."
Li Feng's tone became lower and lower as he spoke. He had been in the army for five years and had obviously seen too much life and death.
"Then you won't be discharged from the army and go home?"
"Retired?" Li Feng looked at Liangyan doubtfully.
"We have no chance to retire. The biggest reason why I chose to join the army in the first place was to exchange for a few places so that my family could live in Beidu."
As he spoke, he took out a somewhat wrinkled photo from the innermost layer of his clothes.
"This is my younger brother, who must be fourteen years old this year. This is my sister, who must be ten years old this year. This is my grandma."
As he spoke, he gently wiped the photo, his longing for it brimming with emotion.
"Only if I die on the battlefield will they be eligible to live in Beidu forever. I cannot be a deserter. If I do, they will be kicked out of Beidu immediately."
After hearing what Li Feng said, Liangyan immediately replied:
"Why does it have to be in Beidu? Qing Gejia and I are not there, and we are still living very well."
Li Feng shook his head slightly and said helplessly:
"Everyone has their thoughts in their hearts. I just don't want my younger brothers and sisters to cry after eating what I used to eat."
Just as Liangyan was about to answer, Yu Qingge stopped him.
In this way, the three of them sat around the fire in silence for a long time.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, Li Feng stood up and said:
"Are you two going north to attend a martial arts tournament?"
"Well, yes." Liangyan nodded and replied.
"Then please do me a favor and go to the family street of the eastern war zone in the Yanjiao area of Beidu to find a young man named Li Shu. He is my brother and tell them that I am living a good life."
Liangyan smiled slightly and replied:
"It's nothing. When the martial arts conference is over, I will bring them all to you, and you can have a good reunion."
Hearing what Liangyan said, Li Feng's eyes immediately shone. He grabbed Liangyan's arm and said excitedly:
"Really, good brother? Are you serious!?"
"Yes, why did I lie to you? I only walked because of special circumstances this time. Then we would fly over directly."
Liangyan said, turning his head to look at Yu Qingge and asked carefully:
"Right, we have a plane."
Yu Qingge rolled her eyes at him, there was no porcelain work for him without that diamond.
"Brother Li, leave this matter to us. We will ensure that your family will be reunited when the time comes. I will handle your discharge from the army. Don't worry."
Forehead...
Yu Qingge's words confused Li Feng for a moment, and then he replied with some embarrassment:
"There's no need for that, just meet him once."
Obviously, he had no hope that Yu Qingge could help him with his discharge.
Yu Qingge also understood that Li Feng didn't believe her at all, but she didn't intend to explain anything. Some things couldn't be explained clearly.
"Okay, you two, let's get in the car. Although we have left the ruins of Shanghai, it is still not very safe at night. Let's go back to the camp first, which is only a few kilometers away."
After speaking, Li Feng took the clone soldiers back to the infantry fighting vehicle.
Liangyan and Yu Qingge looked at each other, then picked up their luggage and boarded the infantry tank.
The interior space of this infantry fighting vehicle is very spacious, and it can seat nearly 10 people without feeling crowded.
After a while, Li Feng drove the infantry fighting vehicle back to the camp.
Rather than saying this is a camp, it is better to say this is a temporary shack.
A tarp was set up as a canopy, and under the canopy were some one-meter-high culverts facing each other with sandbags.
It seems that these culverts are where Li Feng and others sleep.
Li Feng pointed to a small house made of composite panels not far away and said:
"Those creatures usually don't move at night. You can rest peacefully. If an alarm is triggered, don't panic. We will take care of it.
You can freshen up in that small room, which is heated by solar energy and has hot water, and you can take a shower there."
After saying that, he directed the clone soldiers to eat dinner and perform basic hygiene.
Looking at the mechanized movements of these clones, Liangyan couldn't help but sigh:
"Are they still human? Are they humanoid weapons or Li Feng's combat tools?"
Li Feng, who was not far away, suddenly seemed to sense the idea of good words, and he said unconsciously:
"These clones are neither weapons nor tools. They are the continuation of the lives of my partners. They are human beings!"
What you don't know is that the clone soldiers brought by Li Feng are his playmates who grew up with him.
When they joined the army together, they applied for it. No matter who died in battle first and was made into a clone soldier, he was asked to transfer that soldier to the nearest comrade.
Shangfeng naturally agreed to their small request without hesitation.
Over the next five years, Li Feng gradually received clones of everyone who enlisted with him in the army.
When night fell, the temporary camp was instantly surrounded by darkness, with only one camp lantern still standing firm.
Liangyan and Yu Qingge started talking quietly under the camp lamp.
"Idiot, do you want to know what our world is really like?
"I think so, of course I do."
"Then let's go to your sect together if we have a chance, but it might be dangerous there."
"I definitely have to go. Let's settle the matter between the martial arts conference and Brother Li first, and then there's also the matter about the teaching assistant, which costs 200,000 Chinese dollars."
"Hmm, then you won't go back to Jiashan City after the martial arts tournament is over?"
"Why should I go back to Jiashan City? My parents are both in Beidu, and my second brother is also there."
"Then your parents have returned to Jiashan City?"
"It depends on the situation. After all, I am almost seventeen years old and I have to start learning to make money. I can stay in Beidu and work hard."
Hearing what Liangyan said, Yu Qingge let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Very good."
"Huh? What's so good?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I mean, Beidu is great. You can make money and have fun. You will definitely like it there."
"I'm sure, haven't you heard from Brother Li that he joined the army to let his younger brothers and sisters live a good life?
He must have known that he would never be able to go home after joining the army, but he came anyway.
But I don’t understand, why did my dad join the army and come back?”
"This is not simple. Uncle Liang knew how to control the air and performed different tasks. Later, he retired after being injured."
"Oh, you're right, you are so awesome."
"hehe..."
In this way, the two of them chatted for a long time under the camp lamp, and even talked about the future of them joining hands to become rangers.
