Beizhou.

Luo Yincheng Fortress is the third fortress on the west side of the main wing of Beizhou Fortress.

This is actually a very large fortress. Although its geographical location is not as important as that of Gubao, it is still a large city on the front line... However, this year, Luoyin City Fortress has begun to be "overloaded".

The reason is simple.

The adjacent "Phiyue City" evacuated all residents in the fortress due to the extremely large disaster, and Luoyin City naturally assumed the task of "diversion".

The legionnaires in this fortress began to be responsible for transporting supplies over long distances and maintaining the transfer of personnel between the two fortresses.

There was only an empty shell left in Piyue City. Because the task of maintaining the disaster situation was too arduous, during the year when the Fourth Army was stationed, Luoyin City was responsible for providing food and military supplies.

The back compartment of a heavy-duty military truck was filled with supplies. A group of people were carrying the goods, and a thin man was among them.

Holding a large box of steel in both hands, he stood up unsteadily before he could move it into the car.

"Zhao... hurry up!"

Suddenly someone called him from behind.

It's urging.

He quickly quickened his pace.

But from nowhere, a fierce kick came, kicking him forward and throwing him forward.

Zhao Qi fell hard into the mud.

He was a little dizzy. When he looked back, there were stars in his eyes. There were so many figures that he couldn't even see who had kicked him.

Even if I could see it clearly... it would be of no use.

The man's helpless look as he turned around was noticed by everyone, and jeers erupted from the crowd.

A thick scolding voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"Why are you standing still! Why don't you start working quickly!"

The moment this sound rang out, the fortress soldiers who were watching the excitement started to carry the goods again. Zhao Qi also quickly got up, put the steel materials that had fallen on the floor into wooden boxes and picked them up. However, as he moved forward in a panic, he did not know what was going on.

Someone stretched out a foot and tripped him.

He fell down hard again. This time he was not so lucky. His chin hit the edge of the truck's iron plate... and he fainted.

And when I woke up again, I was not in a warm ward.

But on the roadside.

Blood flowed all over his lapel, the howling cold wind bit his bones, and the wound was so cold that he lost consciousness.

Zhao Qi's mouth kept trembling.

The truck has already driven away.

This is not the first time. In this place, no one cares about him at all... No one would believe that a wealthy young man would be sent to a place like this to suffer, while this guy who only talks about lies and cheats

, when he first came to the Luoyin City Engineer Corps, he tried to use his prominent life experience in exchange for special treatment.

It's a pity that Beizhou's survival rules don't follow this set of rules.

Now that you are here, you must do your own thing well in your own position.

If you can't help, get out of here!

The comrades in the legion are not willing to work with him at all. Who wants to be a partner with a useless waste? Who can entrust his back to such a character? Even if the engineering corps is only responsible for ordinary maintenance and inspection work,

No one was willing to work with Zhao Qi... and Zhao Qi, who repeatedly emphasized his outstanding life experience, was eventually spurned and fisted by Sergeant Beizhou.

If it weren't for "Wild Dog"'s order, he would have been expelled from the city long ago.

The Engineer Regiment simply doesn't want to accept this worthless mess... and the captain in charge of this team also acquiesces to the "bullying behavior" within the team. Because of the existence of Zhao Qi, his team will always be ranked at the bottom. If this guy is willing to leave on his own,

Then it's good for everyone.

"hiss……"

Zhao Qi held his chin in his hands and tremblingly found a remote corner and sat down against the wall.

He turned over and over, but couldn't find a cigarette...

Just then.

There was a figure that blocked the wisps of cold wind. He did not look down at the man squatting in the corner like the others, but silently handed out a cigar.

cigar?

Zhao Qi didn't dare to pick it up at all.

In a place like this, cigars are a luxury.

He raised his head in confusion and looked at the figure blocking the wind and snow, trying to see the other person's face clearly. He saw that the person was wearing a thin cloak, and his face was difficult to distinguish in the backlight.

He looked at the cigar again and found that it was from Dongzhou...

Zhao Qi's first reaction was to lower his head, hug his knees, and say in a trembling voice: "You admitted your mistake."

He didn't believe that there were kind-hearted people willing to give him alms in a place like this.

The only explanation is... he was recognized.

Zhao Qi would rather fall down in the mud a thousand times and be scratched a hundred times by iron sheets.

I don’t want to be recognized by my former friends.

The man smiled and asked: "Excuse me...who are you?"

This voice sounds unfamiliar.

Zhao Qi lowered his head... He hugged his knees and looked at the dirty face reflected in the mud on the ground. He suddenly realized something and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

yes.

How could any old friend recognize me with my current appearance?

If my father hadn't died.

Standing in front of his father... I'm afraid he won't be recognized, right?

"Smoke it. Good thing, I only have two sticks left on me, one for you and one for me."

The man spoke calmly.

Zhao Qi slowly took the cigar with trembling hands. With the help of lighting the fire, he saw clearly the face of the donor in front of him. He was a young "adventurer". The reason why he used the word "adventurer" to describe him was because of this.

The young man's face was covered with wind and frost, his cloak was ragged, and his bag was worn out. It looked like he had been traveling for a long time.

And those who can reach such a place are not ordinary people.

This is a very powerful extraordinary person.

"I have seen everything that happened before." The young man said softly with a complicated expression: "No matter how you provoked them, that behavior was still a bit excessive..."

Zhao Qi shook his head.

Obviously.

Those guys don't care about me...it's this young man who moved me here.

"Are you from... Dongzhou?"

Zhao Qi's voice was hoarse.

The young man became interested and said with a smile: "How can you tell?"

Zhao Qi dusted off his cigar and said with a low smile, "The double pyramid produced exclusively in Yinghai has a ring diameter of 180mm... This is a very good cigar."

The most important thing is that this cigar is only sold in Dongzhou in limited quantities.

This young man is most likely from Dongzhou, and...very rich.

"Are you from Dongzhou too?"

The young man smiled slightly, and he suddenly understood why the guy lowered his head to avoid being seen... If he could recognize this cigar, I'm afraid this guy has a past that he didn't want to be discovered.

"No……"

Zhao Qi was silent for a while and said with a smile: "It just happened to do some research..."

The young man did not ask about his identity.

He and Zhao Qi squatted by the wall, enjoying the last two cigars together, and after a while, they spoke again.

"With all due respect... I'm curious, what are you going to do next?"

"..."

Zhao Qi truly fell silent.

His eyes became dim.

This kind of thing happened more than once. If he went by his past experience, he would find a place to sleep. These injuries were nothing. There were countless large and small wounds and bruises.

Just take a nap... Just take a nap and you'll be fine...
