Chapter 121 A short 'life' (Part 2)

"You mean that the Khitan Ries who retained the real fire of civilization in the wasteland, built a long wall to resist the 'unintentioned people', and still maintained a decent prosperity, may have long been destroyed?" "The Future" analyzed incredibly:
"It is absolutely impossible. Perhaps it is just because of the desolation of the Sunnese people in the south, the hesitation of the Putoya people, and the large unmanned lands of the Central Empire and Eventrey, which blocked the explorers' footsteps. Communication is usually the result of the development of each other's strength to a certain stage and the distance between space is crossed to achieve contact.
"In other words, it may be that the control of the Cruzd Federal Council has been relatively weakened, which makes it more difficult for Orientals to see towns that belong to humans."
"I'm not saying that they have been destroyed. No matter how weak humans are, they are the most tenacious races in the universe. There is no doubt about this. Is it possible that they have exhausted their physical strength in the process of continuous struggle like us, and a large number of lost people have emerged, which has finally become a united place after base, and will survive." Loka put on a serious expression and said:
"Brother 'Ice Blade' told me a historical fable about the Khitan Rises. During the feudal period, there was a king near Jiangzuo Province. His adviser told him one day, 'King, if someone now tells you that there is an evil dragon near the capital of the country, do you believe it?'
"The king shook his head and said he didn't believe it. The counselor continued, 'If the second person comes to tell you that it is not just the capital, but the evil dragon has already walked on the street, do you believe it at this time?'
"The king thought seriously and expressed some doubts. The counselor continued, 'King, if the third person came to tell you that the dragon was about to fly to the palace and was about to rush in, what would you do?"
"The king stood up from the throne with little thought, and said in a panic look, 'Then I will definitely run for my life'."
"'Three people... Jackie Chan'?" "Future" sighed and said:
"This is indeed a classic story in the Khitan Reese culture. I know, you want to tell me that other people's words will gradually deepen a person's acceptance of misinformation and be infected by the atmosphere deliberately created, so that he will believe it without doubt.
"However, isn't this extreme despair about reality that makes people pursue the so-called 'utopia', the so-called 'ideal country', and the 'park' pursued by the wolf tribe and Sogra?"
"Since you know this..."
"Then I can't help but believe it." "The Future" interrupted:
"I would rather Khitan Ris be a Schrödinger cat, who is always a holy place in my perception, unless I reach that ancient land and see a dilapidated and desolate scene.
"Perhaps, soon, the ships coming from Khitan Ris will honk their horns, reminding us that the East and West of this world have finally been in contact after a hundred years of estrangement."
Woo--Woo--Woo--
As soon as the words of "Future" ended, a rapid "whistle" sounded in the room. They continued, containing the sound of desire and expectation, which was very similar to the melodious sound of warships escorting merchant ships that "Future" had heard many years ago when he lived in the port.
"Oh, the meat is cooked." Loka's understatement brought the "future" back to reality.
Seeing that the brown soup was about to overflow from the pot, he rushed forward, closed the gas valve, and opened the lid.
The smoke spreading outwards wrapped with the aroma of meat mixed with seasonings and immediately spread throughout the steel plate room.
Even though I have eaten a lot of vegetarian dishes, this style of the cooking dishes that condense the East, especially the Fire Empire, instantly aroused a lot of manic desires belonging to the instinct of the lost.
As pieces of meat were poured out and some soup was grated with gauze, Loka poured all the snow rabbit meat into it with a large iron bowl covered with scars on the surface, and added one-fifth of the soup, and brought it to the "future".
"Eat quickly. After a while, the battle to grab the last "device limit" chip has really started. We don't even have time to eat, let alone live leisurely." Loka said, showing a pure, innocent, and truly childlike smile. He scooped several pieces of meat into the bowl of "future" and handed him a pair of chopsticks that were coming from "Thunder Page".
He was extremely skilled in using tableware belonging to another culture and enjoying the "future" of delicious food suddenly realized that if the "Ice Blade" had never concealed anything, this lost boy who was trusted by him, the leader of the "Chaos Group" and could succeed the entire organization in the future, was actually only twelve years old.
However, Loka's ear was emitting a faint light, and the dark gear marks with heat seemed to be confirming the tragedy of this era.
That is, wars and suffering without peace will force children to move towards tenacity, strength, wisdom... and maturity that did not belong to them.
...

"The infinite gears are running, the frozen dawn pierces the cold night; the eyes of desire gradually condense, and the cries of the pupa are hidden into the fog and ice." - "The Epic of the Future·Volume 8 (Medium)", Adari Seich.
Extremely cold zone, Kanosque, night.
With the continued advancement of the Federal Council's "key construction" project, in less than a month, in addition to the army, Vasily ordered the allocation of considerable resources, food and the family of the federal [soldiers] went to Kanoske, causing batches of construction projects to begin day and night.
The newly paved cement road and the unrenovated stone road not far away are pale and terrifyingly colored under the illumination of searchlights.
Unlike other [warriors] stationed in Kanosk, Wolfya and Dak, who were just appointed as the chief and deputy captain of the "Special Team for the Search for Universal Energy Evolution Station", have full freedom. Unlike previous practices, this time, the Federal Commission allows them to explore everywhere near Kanosk. Even if they mistakenly enter the strongholds or camps of the Lost, they will not be considered as a violation of the Federal Military Law.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dak obviously does not want to do something misunderstood by the Federation at this critical moment. After bidding farewell to several so-called reincarnation friends "Xu Zero", at the suggestion of Wolfya, Dak chose to drive north with him and arrive near the mainstream of the North Mamous River, trying to find road wreckage left by his predecessors like the K-100 Highway, so that he has the opportunity to go directly to the Demon Annihilation City.
After working hard for most of the day, after parked the "Rock Sign" mechanical tank in the newly expanded Kanoske military parking lot, Dak yawned, stretched his waist, and walked out with a tired look on his face.
After a little check of the mechanical chariot and confirming that it was not infected with extraordinary substances, he walked out with Wolfya.
Turning up his sleeves, Wolfya looked at the mechanical watch and found that it was just past ten o'clock, so he was not sleepy at all, so he suggested that Dak take a walk along the outskirts of the new and old towns of Kanoske and wait for around 12 o'clock before returning to Hongtai to rest.
Dak and Wolfya, who reluctantly agreed, walked under the "bright" sky, shining stars, and combined with the mysterious and long-lasting atmosphere of the dreamy night. Wolfya patted Dak's shoulder and chatted in a thick voice:
"Dak, do you know why the river flowing in our Cruzd is called the North Mamous River, and the river governed by the Sunne to the south is called the Mamous River?"
Dake has never had any interest in topics involving history and geography. His period as a "alien monster" and his years of fighting for the Federation made him unable to understand and contact these ancient, profound and long-standing things, so he naturally knew nothing.
But as a friend, he was not able to refuse directly, so he followed the Cruzder upper class and reluctantly "requested" in a somewhat artificial way:
"I may not know much, Wolfya, just talk."
With a light cough, Wolfya said in the tone of the professors who taught at the University of Binglin Province:
"This is a complicated and chaotic history, but in short, it originated from war. Between Charles XIII and Ivan Twenty-Five, relying on the growing mechanized steel army and the family wealth accumulated during Ivan Twenty-February, a series of wars against the Sun-Nepal Empire were launched.
"The war in the early stages was not large in scale. Apart from the occasional bombing of the Aerospace Army or the capture of several ships near the Lillorod Sea, the old imperial army only advanced less than a hundred kilometers to the south.
"It was not until several artificial 'Heavenly Punishment Fires' produced near the 'Artificial Lake' were transported to the front line and sent to the battlefield that the battle situation was opened. At that time, when the bombing was most intense, the old empire sent three in Zhuolin City, physically eliminating the army and mechanical armed forces of the 500,000 Sunny Neptune Empire. Other regions, such as the capital Shnetsk, important industrial city Chekavsk, and the important transit station for trade between the Shnets and the Putoya, were also hit. At that time... the Sunny Neptune Empire could be regarded as a purgatory on earth."
Speaking of this, Wolfya paused for a moment, his voice choked.
Although he was not a member of the Sun Nirvana Empire or a witness to the war in the old days, humans empathized with disasters.
With a sigh, Wolfya continued to explain:
"The advantage of weapons allowed the old empire to successfully occupy a large area of ​​the territory of the Sunida Empire. At the southernmost point, they even occupied the town of Sunida, a low-porch south of the quiet highland, and fought several times in the Shnetsk, which forced the Sunida people to temporarily move the capital to the quasi-port city further south.
"After controlling a large area of ​​Sunnese territory, including Uko and Ilin provinces, the young emperor at that time, Ivan Twenty-Five, at the suggestion of the Prime Minister, formally named the two rivers that did not intersect the old and new territories of the Cruzd Empire and flowed to the opposite rivers after the great poet Mamous Khitanria.
"Later, for various reasons, the old empire was forced to withdraw from the occupied area. In order to save face, the emperor changed the North Mamous River to the Voliga River, while the Sunneese people proudly called the South Mamous River the real, the only Mamous River, and called an insignificant tributary initiated by the incandescent ice field its source."
"Is this the sin of war?" Dark sighed.
"No." Wolfya shook his head, held his chin and looked at the starry sky:
"It's all a war of sin."
Gradually, they had walked to the outer city of Kanoske, near a row of dilapidated, low and dirty bungalows. Most of them were living here with psychics wandering in the extreme cold zone, or poor humans who could not travel far.
At this moment, a noise mixed with curses appeared in front of them.
With the help of the faint light of the temporary street lights, Dak and Wolfya saw several tall and thin supernatural beings beating a young man's appearance.
With the stern clamor of Wolfya running forward, the psychics quickly dispersed because they were afraid of provoking the Federation [Warrior], but the pale and childish boy lay in the same position with limbs turning out and his neck twisted to an extremely abnormal state, with only a faint breath.
"He's still alive." Dark said slightly checking the boy's pulse and heartbeat:
"I guess he is a supernatural, Wolfya. Look, his neck was twisted more than 180 degrees, and his mouth and nostrils were slightly bleeding. If it were humans, his blood vessels would have been broken and died long ago."
"Then you plan to..."
Before Wolfya could finish his words, Dak picked up the boy and used a little force to reset the boy's neck.
Chapter completed!
