…
Under the blue sky, under the sunlight, more than 20 large trucks, following the direction of the corona, drove away on the broken street.
The buildings on both sides were dilapidated and dilapidated. The traffic was seriously congested. Sometimes they had to stop to push away the cars that were parked in the middle of the road. On the road, there were zombies that were torn in two.
Ye Chen leaned against the cold guardrail. With the bumps of the truck, his body swayed left and right. He looked up at the white clouds in the sky. His eyes were lost in thought. Xu Tianguo and the other two sat on the side of the truck. They looked around at the desolate streets and ruined buildings. Their expressions were a little lonely. The once colorful lights, the glorious buildings, the bustling world, all turned into ruins. A glorious civilization, just like that.
Looking back at history, how many once glorious dynasties had become ruins in the end, buried under the yellow sand and covered by the rise of the next dynasty? From ancient times until now, how many geniuses had once been peerless in their generation, but in the end, they had turned into a cup of yellow sand …?
"General Ye."
Next to him, a young man walked over. He looked at Ye Chen in awe and said: "Subordinates are preparing to hold a party when we go back. All the captains will participate. Do you want to go?"
Ye Chen retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at him. He slightly shook his head and said: "No, you guys go and have fun. Without me, you guys will be more relaxed."
The so-called party was nothing more than drinking, eating meat, and playing with women. Every time he carried out a very dangerous mission, these soldiers would treat him well. Drinking could numb him and make him forget the sadness of losing his family. Playing with women could make him enjoy it and tell him how corrupt he was now. It made his heart fall even more. Only by falling more could he continue to live ….
After the laughter during the party, there was a kind of empty sadness and loneliness!
The young man looked at him regretfully and nodded. He turned around and walked to the side to chat with the other captains.
Ye Chen leaned against the guardrail and squinted his eyes, enjoying the tranquility of this moment. The gentle breeze blowing on his body and hair was extremely comfortable.
Listening to the laughter of those people chatting and feeling the warmth amidst the sadness, his thoughts flew as he thought of his previous life …
"Wang Long, Xue Dashan, Sun Yun …"
These names appeared in Ye Chen's mind. In his previous life, after he entered the military, he was roommates with these people. Every day, they would kill monsters in the wilderness to earn military merits.
Looking for women together …
Bullying others together …
Another time, the three of them accidentally peeped on a general's wife taking a bath. They ran away in a sorry state until they were exhausted. Then, they sat on the ground and looked at each other before laughing out loud …
However, during a mission, they encountered a powerful monster and ran out of bullets. In order to cover Ye Chen's escape, they sacrificed themselves.
When they were under the claws of the monster, they still had smiles on their faces …
Ye Chen would never forget it for the rest of his life!
They were brothers!
Friends who could stand up in the face of death!
They were also the first few friends that Ye Chen met. They were all hot-blooded youths. They could offend their superiors because of anger. They could shout their dreams to the heavens together. They could walk on the streets and laugh like idiots. They were not afraid of the looks of disdain from the people around them.
The cruelty of the apocalypse did not erase their personality.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen did not know when a tear fell from the corner of his eye. He opened his eyes and the sorrow in his eyes disappeared. He stood up and looked at the dilapidated buildings and the ruined streets. He opened his arms and let the wind blow freely on his body. It was as if he could soar into the sky!
The hot-blooded blood in his body burst out. The emotions that disappeared in his heart also surged out.
Although he had experienced a lot in the apocalypse and did not trust anyone, but how could he forget the companions that he once fought with and the laughter that lingered in his ears?
He wanted to shout to the whole world.
Perhaps it was a sudden impulse, but Ye Chen had never desired power as much as he did at this moment. Ever since he was reborn, his goal had always been to protect his sister and not let her lose him again. Fundamentally speaking, he was just a weak person who was afraid of loneliness and emptiness!
But at this moment, he had another idea in his heart. He held on tightly to the beautiful memories that had disappeared in his memory. Some people or things, once lost, could not be recovered …
If he did not want to lose, it was not enough to protect them, but to make them stronger!
Fight together!
Laugh together!
Xu Tianguo and Liu Rui looked at Ye Chen who was standing on the car with his arms open. They were slightly startled. Suddenly, they had a feeling that this man was not standing on a car, but on the top of the world!
…
The big truck drove along. Sometimes they encountered some zombies, but they were all killed. Under the leadership of Ye Chen, they did not encounter any powerful monsters and smoothly arrived at the base city.
"Woo woo …" The sound of the exhaust pipe was heard. Around them, there were a lot of tired people who came to seek refuge. They all moved aside and did not dare to block the road.
After entering the city, Ye Chen saw a shabby and simple house on the side of the road. There were a few words hanging on the door, "Meat!"
His heart was moved. He secretly thought that since he had not gone back to see his sister for a long time, he might as well buy some meat to visit her today.
So he jumped out of the car and walked to the shop.
Walking into the shop, a strong smell of blood rushed to his nose. There were a few wooden tables inside. The boss was a big man with an apron hanging around his waist. There were many cut meat on the table.
Ye Chen frowned. His face quickly became gloomy. He turned around and left the shop. He turned around and turned to get into the car.
Xu Tianguo saw him return empty-handed. He was stunned: "You didn't buy it?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said: "This is a human meat shop without a business license. It sells human meat."
Xu Tianguo shuddered. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Normally, shops in the base city would have a new business license issued by the Ministry of Commerce. Only with a business license could they be considered to be allowed to sell meat in the base city. Without a business license, selling meat privately was against the rules of the base city.
As soon as Ye Chen walked in and smelled the smell in the air, he could tell that it was the smell of human meat. Normally, if it was the flesh of a monster, there would be a trace of the monster's smell left on the skin. For example, pork would have a bit of the smell of feces. Mutton would have a bit of the smell of urine. After all, the skin and fur could not be cleaned to remove the smell.
"Are you not going to do anything?" Xu Tianguo looked at Ye Chen and asked.
"The law enforcers of the base city will be here soon to clean this place up."
Ye Chen said coldly. He turned around and called a few soldiers to carry a few hundred pounds of meat to his house. Then he said to Xu Tianguo and the others: "Follow me out of the car."
Xu Tianguo knew that Ye Chen had something to do, so he did not ask and got out of the car.
"General Ye, where are you going?" A regiment commander asked curiously.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "You go back to the barracks first."
"Oh."
The regiment commander saw that Ye Chen did not say anything, so he did not ask any more questions. More than 20 trucks formed a mighty formation and headed back to the barracks.
After they left, Ye Chen took Xu Tianguo and the others to an office building and rented a three-bedroom room. When the waitress saw the "General's Token" on Ye Chen's chest, she was shocked. Then she gave him a 30% discount. It only cost seven to eight hundred military merits.
After entering the room, Ye Chen looked around. Seeing that there were no surveillance cameras, he was relieved. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He said to Xu Tianguo and Xu Tianguo: "You will live here from now on. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me. I will come here often."
Huang Tianci nodded and said: "This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we would still be wandering outside."
Ye Chen said casually: "No need to say this. I just hope that you can work for me wholeheartedly in the future."
"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Huang Tianci said with his chest puffed out.
Ye Chen nodded and said: "I will write a list later. Your mission is to find the people on the list. Then I will buy some shops for you to run."
Xu Tianguo thought for a moment and then nodded: "I will do my best!"
After Ye Chen gave a simple explanation of the mission, he wrote down all the famous people who had appeared in the China region in his previous life. Although he had forgotten some of them, he still remembered most of them.
Among these people, even if he could gather a small portion, he could form a super strong force. Their future potential was extremely terrifying!
"Wang Long, Xue Dashan, Sun Yun … You must do your best to find these three people!" Ye Chen said seriously.
Xu Tianguo was startled. He looked at the three names and then slowly nodded: "I will do my best."
After everything was done, Ye Chen got up and left.
The sky gradually darkened, and stars appeared in the sky. The base city was dark, and there were no lights. The power station was only enough to supply the base city's information department and other departments. If others wanted to use electricity, they could buy it. However, the price of electricity was extremely high, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.
After dark, most people went to bed early. After 10 o 'clock, the base city had a curfew. No one was allowed to wander on the streets until August of Year 0 of the Dark Calendar. At that time, the technology of the Atlantis civilization had been widely used in the base city. At night, there were people who went out into the wild with high-intensity concentrator lights to kill monsters.
It was still early. Ye Chen walked leisurely on the streets. There were many people around him who had just returned from fighting in the wild. They were chatting and laughing with each other, talking about the day's harvest, where the beautiful women were, or which celebrity was now working as a waiter in a certain building, and so on …
"Ye Chen!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out from behind him.
Ye Chen turned around and looked.
The night wind was blowing.
It brushed against his face.
On the busy street, a tall and slender girl wearing a white blouse, a cap, and denim shorts that accentuated her long and beautiful legs were waving her hand in his direction.
