Volume Five, Chapter 18, The Selfishness of Little People
At the highest point of the Wild Wolf Castle, in addition to the blue flag, a red flag was raised. The red flag meant that important news and announcements were to be released. Within a few kilometers of the Wild Wolf Valley, all
Everyone can see the red flag.
Zhang Tie knew the contents of the notice in the evening of that day. When he sent Pandora and the girls who had planned to form a team with the Aircraft Brotherhood back to the Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie saw it.
The same content as in the notice.
Compared with the shock of other members of the Aircraft Brotherhood, Zhang Tie was already a little mentally prepared. When everyone in the Wild Wolf Valley was discussing what happened in Black Flame City, what no one knew was that
, due to a coincidence, the instigator of the Black Flame City incident was none other than Zhang Tie. This incident was not only the hottest topic in the Wild Wolf Valley, but also in Black Flame City at this moment. That letter triggered the Black Flame City incident.
No one can answer this question about who sent the mysterious letter about the Yancheng incident. Even if Blackyan City officials tried their best, they still don’t have the ability to turn back time to trace who was in Blackyan City.
The mysterious letter was sent from the mailbox near the post office in Citizen Square. This matter became a mystery that no one could solve. It was not until the Black Flame City incident broke out that everyone knew that the red scarf thief was there at that time.
Lurking in a secret place less than 150 kilometers away from Black Flame City, he was always ready to cooperate with the New Moon Business Group to cause disasters in Black Flame City. Until the New Moon Business Group was taken away by the Black Flame City military,
Seeing that things were exposed and nothing could be done, the red scarf thieves had no choice but to evacuate from their hiding place like a pack of hungry wolves. When the red scarf thieves appeared again, they caused a disaster in Reims City. The sun was destroyed.
The Shen Dynasty was involved in the murky waters with the alliance.
"The Mysterious Warner" is a title Zhang Tie received after the Black Flame City incident. Some people say that the "mysterious warning person" who detonated the Black Flame City incident was a traitor among the Red Turban Bandits. Others say that this "mysterious warning person"
The "Warner" is a peerless master who lives in seclusion in Black Flame City. Some people say that this "Mysterious Warner" is the political enemy of Marshal Lin Changjiang, the Governor of the Northern Territory of the Norman Empire in the Norman Empire... In short, there are all kinds of speculations, except
No one can guess that this "mysterious warning person" is just a green boy from an ordinary boys' school in Black Flame City. This green boy is currently undergoing a survival trial in the Wild Wolf Valley, and just yesterday, this green boy
The miserable green boy almost ruined the good deeds of the dignitaries in Black Flame City who were waiting for the recovery potion.
Sometimes, those rigid rumors with strong logical chains and various possibilities really seem like that, but the truth is always full of drama, because this life and this world, to put it bluntly, there is not so much.
The truth and logic are easy to explain. Just like the story told by the famous butterfly effect theory that appeared before the catastrophe. A blacksmith dropped a nail on the road, and the nail injured a horse's hoof. The injured horse broke.
A knight. The knight lost a battle, and that battle affected a battle. That battle ultimately determined the outcome of a war, and that war ultimately led to the destruction of a country.
Zhang Tie had also heard about the theory of the butterfly effect in the natural history class at school, and until now. After understanding the whole story of the Black Flame City incident, Zhang Tie suddenly had a realization that he had actually done it unconsciously.
The nail that broke the horse's hoof. The collision with Huck, the dead guy, at the train station actually changed so many things later on.
That nail did change some details of the matter, causing a bump. But the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty were like rolling wheels. With their huge inertia, they were still moving unstoppably towards the Andaman Alliance and the Black Flame.
The city rolled over, and just a trace of the aftermath of the rolling wheel came, setting off a huge wave in the Wild Wolf Valley.
Because many people have to serve in the military as soon as they graduate. Once they do military service, they will directly face the two behemoths, the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty, and may encounter the armies of these two countries on the battlefield, so Wild Wolf
All the trial students in the valley felt a huge pressure when looking at their own destiny. Facing the unknown future, many people felt a little confused and afraid.
Tonight, except for Zhang Tie, everyone in the brotherhood was practicing the basic skills of the Iron-Blooded Fist as hard as their lives, and each one of them lay down on the turf panting until they could no longer move.
Zhang Tie could still hold on for a while, but when he saw the guy in Baghdad staring at him with gnashing teeth and a crouching tiger stand that made all the veins on his forehead pop out, Zhang Tie could only pretend to be exhausted and lie down on the ground.
More than ten seconds after Tie "gave up", Baghdad, who could no longer hold on, breathed a sigh of relief and ended the practice of Crouching Tiger Stance. For Baghdad, if he could not maintain his position as the number one master of the Aircraft Brotherhood, it would be very difficult for him.
It will be a big blow.
There are two moons in the sky, one is the silver black moon, and the other is the light blue full moon. One big and one small hangs in the sky. The moonlight pours down like water, coating the Wild Wolf Valley with a layer of light blue beauty.
Against the background of these two moons, the stars in the sky are particularly bright. There are cicadas chirping on the dragon's claw tree, crickets chirping in the surrounding grass, and on the mountain peaks farther away, there is a long howling of wolves.
It was heard faintly, and the entire Wild Wolf Valley seemed even quieter.
Everyone lay quietly and looked at the sky for more than ten minutes without anyone speaking.
"If I die on the battlefield in the future, and any of you are still alive, remember to hand over a lot of my pension to my family. This money should be able to make my two younger brothers live a better life.
Better!" Chauvin spoke quietly. Chauvin is good at everything, but sometimes he is too pessimistic.
"You'd better live. If you die, we will just use your pension to go whoring, and let your bastard father and two bastard brothers go to hell!" Siesta cursed.
"Asshole!" Chauvin cursed lightly, and then laughed.
"I heard that the Iron Horn Legion under the Governor of the Northern Territory of the Norman Empire and the Glory Feathers of the Taishen Dynasty are both armies composed of war madmen and lunatics. We won't go against them..." Doug was a little worried.
said.
"Don't be so pessimistic, everyone. We shouldn't be so miserable. We will have to face the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty as soon as we graduate. For the entire Andaman Alliance, these two countries are superpowers. The strength of each is
It is much stronger than the Andaman Alliance. It is precisely because of the disparity in strength that the Andaman Alliance will lose or lose in a fight with these two countries, so this battle is probably rare. Those big shots with huge wealth are definitely more powerful than us.
Afraid of death, a war destined to be unwinnable, they dare not risk their lives on this war. Two children of equal strength may fight over a piece of candy, but a strong man and a child
They can't fight, let alone two strong men and a child at the same time..." said Wright, who was lying down.
"Well, I think what Wright said makes sense, don't put so much pressure on everyone!" Barry said.
"But even so, the future of the Andaman Alliance will not be bright. In the history of the Blackson Human Corridor, there were more than seventy city-state alliances at the most. But now there are fewer and fewer. All city-state alliances only have two in the end.
There is no other way. Either some genius and powerful person will appear and turn the city-state alliance into a unified country. Or the city-state alliance will eventually fall apart and be annexed by the surrounding big forces. The Andaman Alliance does not have any genius or strong leader now, Norman
It is impossible for the Empire and the Sun Dynasty to just watch the Andaman Alliance become a unified country. Therefore, the final outcome of the Andaman Alliance and the Black Flame City is likely to be annexed. Both the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty
The Divine Dynasty will implement high-pressure rule over the newly annexed areas for at least a few decades. If this matter cannot be resolved peacefully, even if everyone does not die on the battlefield, life will be difficult in the future..." Chauvin continued to be pessimistic.
said.
Chauvin's words silenced everyone again, and no one refuted, because everyone knew that what Chauvin said was the truth, and this fact was the heaviest and most irresistible.
"So, what happened this time, even if we don't push everyone to the battlefield as cannon fodder, all of us will be slaves to the subjugation of the country in the future. Well, although the Andaman Alliance and Black Flame City are not countries yet, the meaning is almost the same!"
Siesta said weakly.
"This matter, I think... in the end, it should be resolved peacefully!" Barry said weakly and somewhat unconfidently.
"But I always feel something is wrong. There has been peace between the Andaman Alliance, the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire for more than half a century. Why are these two countries now attacking us together as if they are getting better?" Somewhat silly.
Doug’s words brought up the key.
I don't know why, but after listening to Doug's words, Zhang Tie thought of those little squirrels busy storing pine cones on the trees for the winter.
"No matter what the reasons are behind this, if it concerns us, sooner or later we will know why we are worrying about these issues..." Baghdad said in a deep voice, "How to improve our strength is the only thing we need to worry about. The law of this era,
People without strength have no freedom. Only those with strength can control their own destiny. If we all mastered the Iron-Blooded Fist now, would everyone still worry about so many boring problems?"
"Da Tou, why don't you speak? Aren't you worried..." Barry, who was lying on the ground, turned his head and asked Zhang Tie.
"I think everyone is right, but to be honest, I don't care too much about the future of Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance. Maybe it's because I am Chinese. The Chinese are just the Andaman Alliance and the Black Alliance.
The non-mainstream ethnic minorities in Yan City are unable to bear more responsibility for the fate of the Alliance and Black Flame City. Our family has already sacrificed one life for the Andaman Alliance and Black Flame City. No matter what, I don’t want any more in my family.
No matter how many sacrifices some people make for Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance, I will not make any more sacrifices. I don’t have many pursuits in life. As long as the people around me live well, as long as they have money, as long as they have women, that’s enough...
…" Looking at the beautiful starry sky, Zhang Tie smiled. The matter of the alliance between Black Flame City and Andaman really gave him a big impact. Zhang Tie found that even if he changed a little by chance, in the end
The result is that nothing has changed, at least the fate of the people around him has not changed. This is the powerlessness and helplessness of little people.
What Baghdad said is right. Instead of expecting the world to become what you imagined, it is better to make yourself stronger and stronger. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong. Everything else is nonsense, and you want to be strong.
.The biggest trump card is the Black Iron Castle and the small tree.
Zhang Tie never felt that he was a selfish person, but the Black Iron Castle and the small tree sometimes gave Zhang Tie a feeling that he was selfish. If this era is a giant wheel rolling forward, Zhang Tie
Tie felt that everyone was being driven forward by this giant wheel, sweating all over their butts, but only he could calmly jump out of the track of the giant wheel and focus on his own small world. That small world was also a wheel, a world.
The wheel that only belongs to Zhang Tie is still very small. Zhang Tie is pushing it and running forward, rolling happily. Although this wheel is still small, its speed is very fast. It carries Zhang Tie with him.
Tie. rushed into the distance at a faster speed than the Wheel of the Age, leaving a lot of people behind. This feeling made Zhang Tie feel a little heartless. Others were thinking about the future of Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance.
Worried, while worrying about whether the war is coming, I am thinking about how many baskets of ore should be pumped into the Black Iron Castle tomorrow so that the basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle can be increased quickly. Everyone is thinking about the future.
While he was worrying about whether he would become a third-class person in the occupied area, Zhang Tie was thinking about circumcision after the trial was completed. Damn, it felt really uncomfortable to be a virgin among a bunch of animals, and honestly
Say, Zhang Tie really doesn’t think the fate of the Andaman Alliance and Black Flame City is more important than his own circumcision! Is it selfish? If this is selfishness, then it is selfish. Who the hell stipulates the Andaman Alliance and Black Flame City?
Is the future of the city more important than my future? Who the hell stipulates that the "sexual happiness" of those powerful people must be more valuable than the "sexual happiness" of me? Who the hell stipulates that as a
A small person must follow those big people to share the joys and sorrows? Damn it, I have done what I can do, what's wrong with me now that I am enjoying myself!
The current situation, for Zhang Tie, is like the twelfth lunar month of winter outside with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. Many people are running bare-chested in the wild, competing for speed with the snowstorm behind them, while he is sitting on the train.
Eating hot pot, he left a group of people behind. This is another choice that the Black Iron Castle and the small tree brought to Zhang Tie. Without the small tree and the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie would have
Now he is also one of the people running around shirtless outside, but the small tree and the black iron castle give Zhang Tie another option to take the train and eat hot pot at this time. Since there is already such a
Why don’t you choose? Are you sick?
…
Today, it was Zhang Tie's turn to stand guard in the middle of the night. Zhang Tie was nestled in a small tree nest. While observing and listening to the goings-on around him, he visualized the abacus in his mind and quietly practiced mind-numbing arithmetic. From 1
When it reaches 1000, Zhang Tie does the addition once, then the subtraction in reverse, and then the multiplication of any two-digit and two-digit numbers, two-digit and three-digit numbers, two-digit and four-digit numbers, and finally does the reverse.
Doing division and all sorts of twists and turns, Zhang Tie has not relaxed his mental arithmetic practice these days. In this seemingly boring training, Zhang Tie's mental arithmetic level is also steadily improving. Now three
For Zhang Tie, the addition and subtraction within two digits and the multiplication and division within two digits have even reached the point where he can know the answer at a glance. And in his seemingly boring but self-satisfied training, he
The mental power in the sea of consciousness is also slowly increasing, bit by bit. Zhang Tie's current mental power has increased by almost 2% compared to when he first came for the trial.
It wasn't until Barry came to change his shift in the middle of the night that Zhang Tie climbed back into the tree hole where he slept. Every time he saw Zhang Tie in high spirits during the night watch, Barry felt a little depressed. Others who stayed awake at night were very energetic.
Why does this guy get more energetic the more he keeps vigil? Is this guy really a night owl?
Zhang Tie, who had just finished practicing the mind-killing calculations, did not fall asleep immediately after lying down. Instead, he quietly injected his mental power into the Soul Tribulation Fruit in his mind. Then, while lying down, he entered another virtual world.
Among...
…
Dusk, valley, path, grassland, wolf pounces, Zhang Tie waves his dagger to meet...
A few minutes later, the three wolves turned into corpses again. Zhang Tie looked at the wound scratched by the wolf teeth on his hand and shook his head...
boom……
Everything becomes a point of light.
…
A minute later, when Zhang Tie injected spiritual power into the Wuliu Fruit again to activate the Wuliu Fruit, Zhang Tie dived in again.
The same dusk, valley, path, grassland...
This time, Zhang Tie changed his "play method". Before the wolf rushed out of the grassland, he rushed into the grassland and fought with the wolf with a dagger. Facts have proved that the grassland has the ability to restrict human activities.
, is much larger than the wolf, and the wolf has an advantage in the grass. The result of rushing into the grass to fight the wolf was that Zhang Tie felt the fear and pain of death again...
…
Zhang Tie came out again. A minute later, the Soul Tribulation Fruit was activated again, and Zhang Tie rushed in again...
Come out again, go in again, fight again, come out again, and so on, until Zhang Tie is almost exhausted and unable to activate the Soul Tribulation Fruit again, Zhang Tie falls asleep.
…
People in the Aircraft Brotherhood will never know that this guy sleeping next to them, in just half an hour before going to sleep after watching the night, in another mysterious time and space that only exists in Zhang Tie's mind.
He has already experienced eight life-and-death fights with the three wolves. In such fights, Zhang Tie's chances of being injured are getting less and less, and the three wolves are dying faster and faster...
The last thought in Zhang Tie's mind before falling asleep was that maybe he could try jumping into the hole of the gold-eating python again tomorrow to see how it would feel... (To be continued...)
