Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 112 The Dust Settles
Zhang Feng pushed back the iron cover on the rear of the car, exposed his head, followed the gaze of the soldiers behind him, and saw two black shadows appearing on the outer edge of the stadium rooftop in the distance.

A searchlight swayed over, illuminating their bodies.

The person in front was wearing a blue-gray Chinese tunic suit, his right hand was covering his left arm, blood was dripping between his fingers.

The man behind was tall and bloated, holding a heavy-looking rifle in his hand. He was wearing a set of blue full-coverage power armor. It was neither domestic P-43 or P-52 power armor, nor American. The T-45 and T-51 power armors are also not the Russian R-47 power armor. They are an unknown model of power armor that looks more sophisticated and sophisticated.

Zhang Feng's eyes paused for a moment on the man in power armor, and then quickly returned to the man in Mao suit in front.

He is no stranger to him, and everyone in Gem City is no stranger to him.

Luo Zuoming, the current governor of Gem City!

"How can this happen? How can this happen!"

Zhang Feng looked back at Zang Feng, who was standing with his gun in front of the motorcade, and his whole body shrank.

He thought that the enemy had fallen for his plan to delay the attack, and the adjutant had led someone back to take back the Western Wall. Ironically, this was exactly what the other side would like to see --- dragging him and the reinforcements here to win more Time to capture the king.

His delay strategy became part of the opponent's delay strategy.And the opponent's delaying tactics are part of the entire attack plan.

The devastating battle at the Western Wall and the upcoming street battle are just a cover-up to cover the man in power armor (suspected to be Tang Yan) who is carrying out the king's capture operation.

The seemingly fierce military confrontation, their anxious and frenzied battle on the Western Front, are only secondary elements in the opponent's strategic plan.

In other words, his plan, including the reaction of the Gem City guards, was in the enemy's calculations.

The Jewel City Guard lost, he lost.

From IQ to martial arts, he was beaten helplessly.

Zhang Feng looked at Zang Feng, and remembered a saying circulating in the mercenary circle of Gemstone City, Zang Feng who is serious is very scary.

He thought that all these arrangements were made by Zang Feng.

However, only the parties involved know that the Al Jazeera Radio Station, the underground tunnel of Gemstone City, the West Gate Defense Line, the Research Institute, and our own advanced weapons and equipment have all been integrated into one place by that young man named Tang Yan, thus creating the current situation.

Four people and one dog took less than 120 minutes to break the thigh of the Gem City guard.

Once this news spreads, the entire peninsula will be shaken.

………………

Tang Yan completely ignored the situation below and looked at Luo Zuoming, who had no retreat, with gloomy and cold eyes.

As early as in the previous confrontation, the governor was shot, the blood on his left shoulder continued to flow down, and his face became extremely pale.

"It was Xia Xin who told you about the evacuation passage under the stadium."

Tang Yan nodded.

"The materials broadcast by the eyeball robot were obtained from Huang Lei Manor, right?"

Tang Yan nodded again.

"Hehe." Luo Zuoming smiled bitterly: "The definitions of right and wrong, good and evil always vary from person to person, from time to time, and from opposing positions. So I have always told Yuan Ming that people with different views cannot Be friends."

"From the standpoint of Huang Lei, Wang Ming and others, I was wrong. I should not have had a deep relationship with the Western Alliance, betrayed the interests of Gem City, and become the other party's lackey. But have they ever thought about what would happen to this land after the nuclear war? The continent is moving from unity to fragmentation. Inhabited areas are fighting each other for resources. The war is burning in the devastated wasteland, adding more harm to the already withered Chinese civilization. The most lacking thing in this land now is not food or cleanliness. Water is not a medicine, but the absolute will to order and unify social productivity."

"Whether it is the Great Northeast Region, the Western Alliance, or the Yanhuang Brotherhood, whether they want to establish a steel order to declare hegemony, or restore the Chinese nation to the past, the first thing they want to end is the chaotic fighting in all parts of China. Only by releasing the productivity and creativity endowed by wisdom to human beings can we change the wasteland that our ancestors bestowed upon us.”

"Ideological opposition, regional cultural conflicts, resource imbalances...these oppositions that bring about war should not be the theme of this era. The theme of this era should be how to deal with the relationship between humans and the environment."

"Do you know? Gemstone City is ahead of other settlements in the study of radioactive substances in the isolated soil. The former governor of Gemstone City led people to snatch it from shelter 30 near Kite City 1019 years ago. For this reason, all the people in the shelter were killed Yuancheng researchers."

"Is it right to do this? The people in Gem City will firmly tell you that it is right, because if the Governor does not do this, the residents of Gem City will starve to death in large numbers. But what will the people in Kite City think?"

"This is the origin of the 30-year hostile relationship between Jewel City and Kite City."

"Let's talk about Jicheng again. Huang Lei, Wang Ming and others only noticed the wolfish ambitions of the Western Alliance, but ignored the threat from Jicheng."

"As the hub city connecting the peninsula to the inland, Jicheng has always wanted to annex Gem City and Yuan City, as well as the settlement of Langya in the south, in order to compete with the Western Alliance, the Great Northeast Region, and the Yanhuang Brotherhood."

"The residents of Gem City believe that I have saved the city's economy on the verge of collapse by promoting currency reform. Huang Lei, Wang Ming and other vested interests believe that I am using the situation of an economic coup to deliver a vote to the Western Alliance. Only I know how much this practice is. have no choice."

"Because only by attracting investment from the Western Alliance, such as Pink Paradise, will the big shots there have enough excuses to put pressure on Jicheng when they use force against Gemstone City, so that we will not become a vassal of the descendants of a group of slave traders."

"The people of Jicheng are wary of the Western Alliance, and they dare not directly attack Gem City. They can only choose to support Yuan City more, so that it will continue to fight against Gem City, so as to weaken the power of Yuan City and Gem City."

"After all, Kite City has enough reasons to be hostile to Gem City, and even the big shots of the Western Alliance can't say anything."

"The lord of Yuancheng knows very well what the people in Jicheng are planning, but he is willing to be used by others, because only by continuously consuming the power of Gem City within a certain range can he obtain a steady stream of supplies from Jicheng."

"I told you that Maxim's Cannery is an important source of foreign exchange for Gem City. Most of its products are sold to the Western Alliance. This is done to consolidate the economic relationship between the two. But you have to know that Jicheng people can provide security Because of the lack of commercial channels, every time Maxim's Cannery exports a batch of products to the mainland, [-]% of the cans will be taken away."

"Are we independent?"

"We are not independent, we are just doomsday cockroaches who rely on others to survive in the cracks of the times."

"A lot of times, a lot of things, I don't want to do that, but it's like someone standing in a place you can't see with a whip, driving you to do something that you have to struggle with, be looked at or even spurned by others."

"Huang Lei and others describe my actions by eating inside and outside, but do you know what those people who don't eat inside and outside have done?"

"Huang Lei has a business in Jicheng, Wang Ming has surrounded a mountain in the Northeast region, and Xia Qiming has another business in the Western Union."

"They all understand the truth that wealth cannot be put in one basket. It is understandable that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. But... when it comes to me, it becomes a matter of eating what is inside and outside, and selling money for glory."

"There is no reason to blame anyone who wants to commit a crime."

"For so many years, I have been thinking about a question, or I have been hesitating all the time. Subconsciously, I agree that the world needs a strong armed force to integrate this devastated wasteland, end the melee and chaos, and give the land of China a new life. Rest and recuperate. However, I am worried that the entrusted person will increase the suffering of the people of Gem City."

"This question, this hesitation, it... is too heavy, and I can't breathe after so many nights."

"This is the helplessness of leaders, and the pain of those responsible."

Luo Zuoming looked at the face behind the CMC300 power armor: "If it were you, if you were the governor, do you have enough awareness to take on the mountain created by human life? If it was you, do you have enough courage to face The doomsday storm, propped up a blue sky for the residents of Gem City?"

Luo Zuoming said a lot.

Tang Yan couldn't say a word, and he didn't even know how to face the last question.

He has no memory, and he doesn't know whether he is a person who does many evils or a person who is kind and kind.

If he was a villain, he could have enslaved the residents of Gem City just for his own pleasure and comfort.

If he is a kind person, can he do better than Luo Zuoming?Facing Huang Lei's evidence and another "Tang Yan"'s accusation, how will he feel now?
"Why don't you tell the residents of Gem City about your difficulties and considerations?"

Luo Zuoming smiled miserably: "What are you telling them? 30 years ago, the governor said that the researchers of Vault 1019 were former citizens of Qindao, so the research data inside belongs to Gem City. Is it a lie?"

"Or is it that the economic strategy developed by the previous governor was used by the top managers and their vassals to plunder the people's labor income, so that Gem City's economy almost collapsed, but no one was responsible for it?"

"Or tell them that each of Wang Ming, Huang Lei, and the others has some shady secrets about the other party? As a result, people in Gemstone City are panicked and everyone is in danger? It even annoys the interest groups represented by those people. , set off a military coup and cause serious civil unrest?"

"As I said before, once the fact that Huang Lei's Maxim Cannery uses human corpses as meat to produce canned food is leaked, the people in Yuan City will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, whether it is spreading the news to Maxim's Whether the cannery’s largest customer, Western Union, or the victim’s claim to Maxim’s cannery for compensation, can hit Gem City’s economy hard.”

"Many times, since you are sitting in that seat, responsibilities and pressure force you to compromise. Maybe you have a kind heart, but you can only ignore or encourage those bad karma."

Tang Yan said: "However, you still announced the fact that Huang Lei used human flesh to make canned food, and you even blamed a young man named 'Tang Yan'."

Luo Zuoming continued to smile bitterly: "A lie needs a hundred lies to cover up. Since I have been in the first year of junior high school, I can only do it in the second, third, and fourth year of junior high..."

"Some people describe this kind of thing as 'Once the gears of fate are turned, they can no longer be stopped'. Facing the opposition between the overall situation and personal interests, sometimes you have to make a choice."

Tang Yan said: "So, in order to sit in the governor's seat and protect the people, you can only choose to kill Huang Lei and me?"

Luo Zuoming didn't deny it, but nodded.

Tang Yan thought of his previous conversation with Comrade Jiao. He advised him to conceal his inappropriate suggestions to Huang Lei in order to better serve the public.

"You are a qualified politician, and your beautiful words are impeccable."

This is not sarcasm, this is a sincere compliment, without personal feelings and positions.

Luo Zuoming said: "Just like murder, even justice can't hide the fact that the hands are stained with blood. I don't admit my mistakes, I don't regret it, but when I face you, I am guilty."

When he said this, he took a step back, and his heels had left the roof.

Tang Yan frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"Atonement, and then create new crimes."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you see those people below? I think a large part of them are extremely disappointed with me after hearing the eyeball robot's broadcast, and are no longer willing to fight with you to protect people like me. After tonight, you will become them The fearless warrior in my heart, the hero who eliminates evil. Facing the admiring and grateful eyes of the people, what will you do next? What will you do when you encounter a crisis in Gem City? If the heart in your chest is still beating, We cannot ignore their pain.”

Luo Zuoming said: "Yes, I am mean to you, and I try to impose the responsibility I bear on you. My death is an atonement, but it is also a curse."

"Young man, I hope your shoulders can bear the mental pressure brought about by this curse."

After saying this, his head tilted back and his body left the rooftop.

Tang Yan took a few steps forward, trying to reach out to pull, but he didn't move after all.

"The person who asked me to hire the Pandaren Legion to Vault 1001 is from the Western Alliance." The governor's voice came with the wind, and then there was no more sound.

At the same time, there was an exclamation from below.

Tang Yan looked at Luo Zuoming who fell to the ground and was unable to recover, feeling very complicated.

The man looked at the sky, with a smile on his lips, like a martyred pioneer who had passed on his mission and finally got rid of the shackles of fate.

Not only Zhang Feng, but also the guards of Baoshi City, even Zangfeng, Sanpao, and General Wang stared blankly at Tang Yan on the rooftop.

The moonlight shone in a quiet area, and according to that figure, there was an indescribable smell.

Dogrou sprinted across the stacked containers in the urban area, frightening the woman looking out from behind the curtain.

It climbed up like a civet cat, jumped up to the roof several times, and walked slowly to Tang Yan's side, looking at the reinforcements below.

woohoo...

With the sound of flames spraying, Sanpao and General Wang appeared on the left and right of Zangfeng.

"The time has come, tell me your choice now, Commander." The regiment commander raised the Berson FN50 sniper rifle in his hand and pointed at Zhang Feng's vehicle.
