One hundred and eighty-fourth chapter comer
Chapter 184: The visitor
Every country and even every nation have their own heroes. No matter what these people have done in history, what are their character? Do they strictly abide by personal moral norms? Have they committed crimes? Once they are convicted of "heroes", their names and tall and glorious images will always be passed down by countless people as admirers and role models for generations.
What these heroes do may not be as great as they imagined. They may have done a trivial thing. For example, killing someone on a specific occasion, solving a problem that others cannot imagine, helping a difficult person with a simple effort, etc. But without exception, their behavior has had a huge impact on the people of that particular period. They are not absolutely perfect. Like ordinary people, heroes also have their own secrets and psychological dark spots. They may be masturbation enthusiasts, or they may have bad records such as robbery and rape, and even bullying the market, robbing families, and completely abandoning them... But under the deliberate description of the ruling class, they will all change their former dirty and sinful appearances, but appear in textbooks and legends in the sacred words. In the words of the old era: "They are the greatest people in the world."
In a broad sense, the country needs heroes.
From a more precise theory in a narrow sense, it should be to make it easier to rule the people, and to cover up certain purposes brought about by policies and the limitations of the times, the superiors will create heroes that meet their needs.
There is no doubt that Lin Xiang was indeed the most eye-catching hero of the Republic's military during the nuclear war in 2015. In order to encourage morale, his record was artificially expanded. The most important propaganda mouthpieces in the army at that time, such as Battlefield Daily and Soldier Horn, all reported his personal deeds in detail on important pages in a series of articles. Especially the outstanding performance in Kunming City's single bloody battle and Chengdu defense war gave him a high reputation among the vast number of soldiers. Even Qi Yue, who was the highest commander of the Sixty-Four Mobile Forces at that time, admitted: "Lin Xiang is the best soldier he has ever seen, no one."
During that period, Lin Xiang was a public figure with countless beautiful halos. Due to various factors such as the rampant rage of the R12 virus and repeated changes in the war situation, his influence was temporarily limited to the army. Despite this, he still attracted the attention of spies and intelligence agencies from various countries, and various detailed information about him were secretly collected and sorted out. This behavior is not difficult to understand. Wars could break out between the countries on earth in the old era for various reasons at any time, and the scope of intelligence collection also includes all social industries and cultures. With the ability of the Skeleton Knights, it is naturally not surprising to get Lin Xiang's personal files.
Despite the photos as a reference, Aphra initially did not believe that the Lord of Yinyue City was Lin Xiang in history. When he entered the Crescent City for the first time for blood test, Lin Xiang used Wang Biao's blood to pass the test. At that time, he did not expect that Wang Biao and his blood were exactly the same. This can be regarded as the second common point between characters and materials except photos, but it is not enough to be used as the most sufficient evidence. The Skeleton Knights did not have Lin Xiang's DNA comparison sample in history, so it is naturally impossible to use biotechnology to compare the two. Moreover, even if there are samples preserved a century ago, the probability of the two being different is still very low.
This series of problems directly affected Alfra's judgment. However, in the subconscious and practical needs, she hoped that Lin Xiang would be the Lin Xiang.
So, she specially arranged for today's reception.
To put it bluntly, this is a test.
Lin Xiang's reaction made her very satisfied - advanced technology that has continued from the old era to the present can change a person's overall appearance, and can even copy fingerprints, genes, DNA and other things. However, when the brain suddenly comes into contact with a sensitive problem, it will always emit a large amount of consciousness fluctuations, guiding the nerves in the body to produce corresponding reflexes. The skin contracts, muscles tighten, and blood flow accelerates... These most basic biological instincts cannot be false at all. Even well-trained spies can never do this in violation of biological laws.
Unless they know nothing about the secrets they need to find out, they lose their due role.
Monitors are installed in every corner of the office. Through a miniature screen placed in the drawer of the desk, Afura can analyze any monitoring object sitting in front of him. In this case, it is impossible for Lin Xiang to cover up the strong reflex effects brought to the body by nerve traction.
Lin Xiang himself realized this, so he directly admitted his identity instead of denying or lying in every way.
If the Skeleton Knights need to deal with themselves, they don’t need any so-called excuses. They will directly crush the entire Yinyue City, instead of asking you to eat candy, and then check the ingredients.
...
"I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in any so-called coincidence. But some things will not be transferred with my personal will. The moment the nuclear warhead fell, I did feel the approaching death. I opened my hands, closed my eyes, and felt the increasingly intense heat in the air. The shock waves tore my body apart, and the blazing flames burned my skin, boiled my internal organs, and turned every drop of blood in my body into steam. There was no consciousness, no thinking, everything was wandering in the dazzling red and endless darkness. I seemed to fall into the abyss and kept sinking... However, things were so strange. I felt that I was clearly dead, but I was still alive now."
Lin Xiang said these words calmly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a lit one, and sucked it slowly.
Instead of telling everything, he told some of the truth.
Even he himself found it strange, why did he say this to Aphra?
The fewer people know about "secrets", the better. If one more person knows, the greater the chance of exposure and the higher the level of danger.
Although they are both seven-star parasites, Lin Xiang is not afraid of Alfra. With the same combat power, the chances of parasites winning battles are actually determined by the superpowers controlled by each person. There are not many parasites with superpowers, and the number of parasites with dual superpowers is rare. As for parasites with three superpowers at the same time... In addition to himself, Lin Xiang has encountered them so far.
Lin Xiang has always felt indescribable humility towards Claude. However, it was precisely because of him that Lin Xiang discovered for the first time that the Skeleton Knights were not as solid as imagined, and there was also a distinction between good and evil among them. Otherwise, Claude would not have saved himself from the ruins with his life.
Lin Xiang had an intuition - Alfra should belong to the same kind of person as Claude.
This was a very mysterious feeling, but Lin Xiang did not notice any danger from Aphra. Moreover, Claude had confessed to him before he died and asked him to find Captain Soke and General Bartleme. Although he didn't know who the latter was, at least he knew Captain Soke, and he brought him into this room - Claude saved his life, and he would never entrust an untrustworthy person to push himself into the trap again.
Aphra leaned on the chair, snuggled her hands, and fell into deep thought.
Lin Xiang didn't seem to be lying, and the monitoring instruments did not find any abnormal biological fluctuations. If this person had planned and had been proficient in lies countless times, then the excuse of the make-up was too clumsy.
Resurrection from the dead...who would believe this kind of thing?
Even I don’t know why I lived until now... Such an excuse with many loopholes can be used as a reason?
If he was "that person", or someone sent from that side, the story he made up would definitely be more beautiful, reasonable and credible than this.
...
The layered and intertwined clouds squeezed the entire sky without any extra space. They piled up and wrapped around each other, like a giant gray-black cover slowly crushing the ground. Behind the clouds, dull thunder came from time to time, and occasionally a lightning bolt imprisoned deep into the dark clouds suddenly exploded, revealing a sudden, not too bright and dazzling white light.
The air seems to have solidified. Unlike the stuffy heat caused by the sun shining on the ground in summer, the dullness of winter is mixed with unbearable cold. Although it has not entered the deep winter completely, the drastic temperature and increasingly harsh weather make people feel instinctively panic and fearful. This means that this winter will be colder than in previous years, and there will be much more people and mutant creatures who freeze to death in the wilderness and starve to death than usual.
In the eyes of hungry humans and beasts, this is not an absolute bad thing.
The frozen corpses in the wilderness will not rot quickly due to the heat of the summer dead people. Their corpses will be preserved under the ice and snow for a whole winter. Even in the beginning of spring, the slowly frozen corpses can still remain fresh. The beasts that can't wait to run out of the nest and refugees in the wilderness can be eaten at any time and anywhere, without any danger, without any danger.
No one knows when the damn radiation will be completely dissipated.
No one understands what the future of this world will look like.
No one knows how long will the life of struggling between hunger and cold last?
There is no answer. There is no so-called answer.
...
The gate of Yinyue City is open to four directions: southeast, south, northwest and northeast. This entry and exit setting that does not strictly follow the straight line is entirely due to the limitations of the city's location and surrounding terrain. But then again, this city does not actually have the so-called "gate". It is just a cross-combination of the warning tower and various fortifications in the corresponding direction, and is set up according to the main traffic roads in the city, as well as the four main exits designated by the City Management Committee.
With a glimmer of light coming from the horizon, you can vaguely see smoke and dust floating in the wilderness in the distance. Gradually, the roar of high-power engines came from the air. The noisy mechanical sound became louder and louder, from the initial rhythmic friction, slowly turning into a deafening terrifying roar. At the same time, a convoy of three cars also revealed its figure from the flying dust, appearing in the sight of the guardians who had already discovered an abnormality and were using various light and heavy weapons on the warning tower to point in this direction.
Cobert, with a cold expression, stood behind the steel triangle partition, and looked at the convoy that was getting closer and closer with a vigilant look.
According to Lin Xiang's requirements, most members of the "Vulture Mercenary Group" were placed outside other cities to perform mission commissions. Wang Biao and Yang Hua took him, Yachipad and Calvin, to take turns to go out in turn. This high-intensity combat, which replaces daily training, is very effective in improving personal combat effectiveness and abilities. Take Cobert as an example. In just less than two months, he has surpassed the obstacles of level 8 evolution and broke through to the ninth-level evolution state near the edge of the parasite.
Today, it was his turn to be on duty.
"Captain, who are these guys?" Looking at the convoy getting closer and closer in the distance, a young soldier who was sitting behind the machine gun post was stuck out and asked curiously.
"You will know naturally when they come." Cobert gave an incorrect answer without looking back.
"They should not be our enemies."
The young soldier curled his lips disapprovingly, and continued to look at the speeding convoy, saying seriously: "I bet that there must be a rich man in the car. He will squander a lot of money in our city. If he is lucky, I may find an opportunity to chat with him. You know, I am very handsome, maybe there is a daughter in the family who is as beautiful as a flower and is looking forward to love falling from the sky."
These words obviously boasted, among the other soldiers defending Shali, a whistle boo sound suddenly caused.
Cobert turned his head and looked at him with a weird expression. After a while, he slowly said: "It is a good thing to be confident. But according to my experience, if there is a rich man in those cars as you said, then in addition to his daughter, there will be dozens of hungry and resentful women in his family who are sitting in the deep boudoir. Before feeding them, I guess you will have no chance to touch his daughter or contact any so-called love. They will squeeze you dry and suck you up until you play your genitals into a pile of soft mud and don't even have the strength to pee."
The cheers and laughter from the side made the young soldier unable to hold his face down. He rolled up his cuffs high and rolled them up to his upper arm, revealing his solid muscles, and made a conspicuous burst of strength: "Look at what you said... I, I am very strong."
"No matter how strong it is, even those sluts can be played with robots by them. Just put your body on your body, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
After saying these classic languages full of life philosophy, Cobert turned around and waved to the soldiers gathered beside him: "The joke is over here. The young men are cheering up. Let's take a good look at who are these guys who come from afar?"
...
The convoy was extremely fast. When the brake was pressed, a sharp friction sound broke out between the tires that were braked urgently and the sand and stones. The heavy body slid on the ground for a long distance before stopping about three meters in front of the black and yellow twill rod.
This is the product of three cars transformed from old cars. The first two cars are not long and have a diameter of more than one meter, which raises an astonishing height between the chassis and the ground. The surface car is reinforced with thick steel bars, the paint surface of the doors, windows and hood boards has long fallen off, and protective armor is hung around it, and an anti-aircraft machine gun that can rotate in all directions is mounted on the front of the car. The overall shape of the car is not beautiful at all, but it is enough to adapt to any kind of harsh terrain.
The last car at the end of the team was more than ten meters long, and the lead-gray metal baffle tightly surrounded the entire car. It did not hang armor like the two cars in front, but the tires were slightly flattened by the body. Obviously, this was a heavy truck.
A foot wearing exquisite black leather boots stretched out from behind the open cab door of the second car, steadily stepped on the dry land covered with sand and stone, bringing out a leg covered with thick gray trousers. Immediately afterwards, half of the body with a black velvet jacket. Finally, a head with a cold look.
This is a young man about twenty years old. His luxurious clothes were wrapped around him, showing a bit of flashy and playful atmosphere. His handsome face, against the white skin, showed a bit of uncomfortable femininity. However, his physique was not as thin and weak as a rich child, and he only relied on his bones to support all his clothes. He was very strong, and his strong muscles swelled high under his shirt, showing a bulge that was enough to make women with dysplasia of breasts jealous and crazy. His short brown and gray curly hair was coiled around his head, but his eyes showed a strong greed and possessive desire.
Cobert stood in front of Shalei, looking at the man who had just walked off the off-road vehicle expressionlessly. His hands behind him were trembling slightly, and he tightly formed two fists with convex muscles and bones.
