I reach the pinnacle of my life with words

Jinghua City is an international metropolis, the port is busy, and there are countless people and goods coming and going every moment.

Who would have thought that just one day later, Wen Ting set foot on the port again, and it was a depression as far as he could see.

The scene of heavy traffic is no longer there, there are only a handful of people, and only a few routes are still open.

There was a bit more chill in the air. Wen Ting looked around and found that there were troops guarding all the main roads along the coast, and the sound of fighting could be heard from time to time.

That's the fighter against the enemy.

And the enemy, you don't need to look to know,? There is nothing but the bones that have risen from the sea and resurrected.

This is the fact.

It's just that these reanimated skeletons are much weaker than what Wen Ting and the others encountered near the ruins island. Although the guns are still not very easy to use, the other large-caliber weapons are not bad.

Of course, compared with the Awakened, these weapons are inferior.

However, both have their own advantages. Although the Awakened is powerful, its endurance is not as good as that of weapons and equipment. Not to mention the scarcity of personnel, it is good to have a few in one station.

Without him, China has a vast territory and an extremely long coastline. The number of awakened people who are born quickly due to the violent fluctuations in the rules when the human world collides with the nether world is far from enough, let alone most of them are still students. If there is no complete failure, the country will not compulsorily recruit until the defense lines of various places fall.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Yun was so excited when he heard that there were 63 enlightened people and five awakened people in the third fleet under his command. Awaken the source.

This is just the next best thing. If possible, what Qin Yun wants most is to keep Wen Ting, so that he can lead the team deep into it with confidence, so as to obtain greater benefits.

It's a pity, thinking about it, I know that this is impossible, not to mention Wen Ting himself, Shen Qin alone will not be able to pass.Therefore, Qin Yun didn't even mention it at all, and only waited to figure it out later.

Wen Ting had been prepared for a long time, and he could accept the scene in front of him, but others might not.

Many members of the archaeological team were lucky enough to see the bleak and chilling harbor scenery, their eyes were full of disbelief, their faces were devastated, and they murmured: "How could this be, how could this be..."

But it doesn't matter if you can't accept it anymore, the facts are in front of you, and no one can change it.

And this is just the beginning. Under the escort of the troops, various archaeological teams set foot on their way home one after another.

Wen Ting belonged to the Kyushu archaeological team, and he should be assigned to this team, but because he lived in Washington University, it would be troublesome, so the father and son finally left with the Washington University archaeological team.

Shen Qin was even more straightforward, beckoning Wen Ting to go over, and arranged for him to sit beside him.

Since Wen Ting doesn't intend to hide behind the scenes, there are some things that don't need to be paid too much attention to. What Shen Qin did was aboveboard, and he didn't think it was using power for personal gain at all. Who asked Wen Ting to be his assistant.

They are both archaeological teams. The two sides have intersected and know each other. The professors and scholars of the Washington University archaeological team couldn't help but look sideways. They all looked at their colleague Wen Xian with puzzled eyes. How could Wen Ting be so familiar with the newly appointed vice president?

Wen Xian spread his hands, he didn't know the specifics, maybe the two children hit it off, they are both young people, Shen Qin is not much older than Wen Ting, they have a common language, and they can't chat with old guys like them.

Everyone in the archaeological team of the University of Washington was so surprised. They didn't think much about it, and soon immersed themselves in the upheaval in Jinghua City.

Wen Ting, too, had no intention of chatting at all. Shen Qin called him over, and he went over. Afterwards, his mind was not on it, and his eyes were attracted by the scenery of the streets on both sides.

Shen Qin didn't think that way either, he just exercised his rights along the way.

Along the way, apart from the necessary public transportation system still in operation, there are basically not many vehicles to be seen, and even if there are, they are roaring past without a single stop, not to mention the usual pedestrians in twos and threes everywhere.

Many shops on both sides of the street are closed, only supermarkets and the like are open to welcome customers under the guard of soldiers with live ammunition.

There are military police patrolling the streets, and there are light armored units a few streets away, ready to support at any time.

Wen Ting's hearing is excellent, and he faintly heard the sound of metal bones clashing in the distance.

Wen Ting felt a little heavy.

The news he got was that the situation in the city was pretty good, and this, even if the situation was good, what about the situation in other places?

Wen Ting didn't dare to think about it.

By the way, Peng Zhiqing, if there are no accidents, he should still be in his hometown now. It is a mountainous area, and the situation is not much better than that of the seaside. What's worse, there are not so many military and police guards there, and there are not many awakened ones.

No, Peng Zhiqing was probably the only one.

And this is by no means an exception.

Wen Ting's heart sank little by little.

There are too many places to protect in the country, and Peng Zhiqing is a reserve officer. With his temperament, knowing the current situation in China, he would not ask for help frequently if there is any hope. Nothing.

Wen Ting can imagine that Peng Zhiqing's side is definitely not as easy as he said.

Chinese people are used to reporting good news but not bad news. Wen Ting himself is like this, including most of his family and friends, and Peng Zhiqing is probably no exception.

But one thing Wen Ting can be sure of is that Peng Zhiqing himself will be fine, but the situation may not be optimistic.

Wen Ting lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about how to help, it was too difficult to go directly, and now the traffic is restricted, a college student like him can't leave the city without certain job authority.

Suddenly, a thought flashed by, and Wen Ting's eyes lit up.

Pengcheng, Hewang Village, Peng's family.

Peng Zhiqing frowned as he looked at the fellow begging for help, which made his already serious expression even more majestic, and even had a bit of fierceness left over from fighting bones and animals, which made people dare not look directly at him.

Everyone retreated instinctively, then realized something, and stopped forcibly, but avoided Peng Zhiqing's gaze, not daring to meet his gaze.

At the beginning, Liu Qin, one of the aunts, swallowed her saliva, suppressed the fear in her heart, her eyes were red, and she begged in a crying voice: "Zhiqing, you can save Xiaohai, he is the only son in my family."

"Yes, Zhiqing, and so does my Xiaojiang."

"Zhiqing, although my family Haohao is not the only one, you can't just ignore death, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to save them!"

……

All kinds of words to please and ask for help filled my ears, with a hint of persecution mixed in.

Peng Zhiqing's forehead jumped suddenly. If he had the ability, he would have rescued him a long time ago, but he didn't even look at the situation there. The skeletal animals crawled up from the ground and surrounded the canyon sacrificial hall. What can he do? It would be great if he could save the village. , Do you want him to abandon his parents to die?

No matter how upright Peng Zhiqing was, he couldn't do such a thing.

The neighbors in front of him didn't listen, they just kept asking him for help, and their faces gradually became hideous.

"Zhiqing, you are the most capable in the village, please save Xiaohai and the others, auntie please." Liu Qin was about to kneel down with Peng Zhiqing.

Seeing this, the others knelt down and begged.

The scene was so sad for a moment that those who heard it wept and those who saw it were sad.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, you want Zhiqing to lose his birthday, this is it." Peng Zhiqing's mother rushed out, blocking in front of her son, and Peng's father rushed out after him, stopping the mother and son behind.

Peng's mother put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Zhiqing can't beat four hands with one fist, you are forcing him to die, how can you be so cruel, he is the one you saw growing up when you were young..."

"No, Zhiqing is so powerful, he will definitely be able to do it."

"Yeah, yeah, Zhiqing will be fine, Hongxia, just relax, Zhiqing is much better than the martial arts masters on TV, just kick those skeletons all over the floor with a random kick." , One punch at random, one piece will be shattered, what will happen to Zhiqing?"

"What are you thinking? Zhiqing is a human being, not a machine. He will get tired, and he doesn't see how many skeletons there are in the canyon. Why are you letting him go alone?" Just say a good word to fool the past, and my child knows it by himself. Whenever possible, he will not refuse to save him. If he didn't go, he has already explained everything, that is, he can't save him.

How could everyone give up, and they were about to show their reason and move their feelings, when a hoarse voice came from upstairs.

"sister--"

"Xiaoxia, why are you down? You are sick, go back and lie down." Chen Hongxia raised her head, but she didn't move. She had to protect her son.

Unmoved, Chen Xiaoxia dragged her sick body down the stairs step by step, her face was haggard, but her steps were extremely firm, until she stood still in front of Chen Hongxia, her eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears: "Sister, Xiaolong is also on the other side of the canyon."

"Ah, what are you talking about? Why did Xiaolong go there? Didn't you tell him that there is a pit of beasts over there, which is unlucky, so tell him not to go?" Chen Hongxia's face turned pale.

"Sister—" Chen Xiaoxia begged, "I only have one child, Xiaolong. I won't be able to have another child after my broken body, and I'm getting old. Can you ask Zhiqing to save Xiaolong?"

Chen Hongxia backed up again and again until her back bumped into Peng Zhiqing, then she stopped and looked at the little girl in disbelief: "Xiaoxia, sister didn't understand what you said, please say it again!"

"Sister, sister, I beg you, let Zhiqing go, he is so strong, he must be fine." Chen Xiaoxia continued without retreating.

"How could you, how could you..." Chen Hongxia's heart hurts, this is her sister, she doesn't know what's going on in the canyon, and she begged her to let Zhiqing go there...

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxia was terribly calm. Seeing that the eldest sister couldn't make sense, she turned directly to Peng Zhiqing.

Peng Zhiqing looked away, there was really nothing he could do, but if there was any hope, he would have passed by long ago, even if he didn't have a cousin, he was just a stranger, he would not refuse to save him, but it depends on the situation.

The light in Chen Xiaoxia's eyes gradually dimmed, and then suddenly lit up again: "Zhiqing, you are a military student, right?"

Peng Zhiqing frowned, he was not as alert as Zhou Xuwen Ting, but instinctively felt that this topic was wrong, he didn't speak, just looked straight at his gentle and amiable aunt.

Sure enough, the next moment, a violent storm followed.

"Defending the country is your responsibility. If you want to see your relatives, friends and neighbors dying, what else can you do? You must be a deserter when you go to the battlefield. What kind of military academy do you still want to go to? You should just retire to avoid harming others Harm yourself...you are worthy of the party and the people..."

A sound of questioning and scolding was like a cuckoo crying blood, and it hit Peng Zhiqing's heart hard, making him feel ashamed and distracted.

"Xiaoxia——" Chen Hongxia was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she saw that her son's mood fluctuated violently and his mind was unstable. Years old, you are trying to force him to death, my sister begs you to be a human being, if you want to make trouble again, get the hell out of here, you are not welcome in my family."

Chen Xiaoxia acted as if she had never heard of it, her eyes locked on Peng Zhiqing, very targeted.Just like Chen Hongxia said, Peng Zhiqing is young, no matter how calm his temper is, his experience is there, he has the passion of a young man, and he is easily provoked, especially as a reserve officer. Once the reason of family and country is understood, anyone who is still a bit bloody , Few people can stand it.

Kill people and kill their hearts.

What's more, there are many folks around to help out.

"Zhiqing, Xiao Jiang is my life. You two played together a lot when you were young. You have the heart to watch him die..."

"Zhiqing, you are a good boy. You will go to the battlefield in the future, but you must be worthy of the green body on your body..."

"Zhiqing..."

Peng Zhiqing's brain was rumbling, his eyes were bloodshot, everyone's begging and questioning, coupled with the condemnation of his conscience, combined together, quickly crushed his heart.

Peng Zhiqing yelled loudly, his veins were showing, he pushed everyone away and ran out the door.

"Zhiqing, Zhiqing—" Chen Hongxia collapsed on the ground, and Peng's father ran out after him, only to see a figure disappearing in the direction of the canyon.
