Plant Invasion [End Times]
Chapter 96 The Old Man
In front was the residence of old general Wang Yaowu. It was already late at night, the people in the house had already fallen asleep, and the surroundings of the house were quiet.
Shen Kuo wondered why there were no patrolling soldiers around here, but the surrounding area was too quiet, and he was afraid of alarming others, so he kept the question in his heart.
Jin Shao dragged him around the small garden outside the house, and then directly dragged him to float and stick him to a window.
Jin Shao's ability to control the air became more and more powerful.Shen Kuo sighed twice in his heart, and firmly grasped his shirt, for fear that he would let him go inadvertently.
Jin Shao led him past the windows, and finally found General Wang sleeping on the bed in a room.
"Have you seen the inside clearly?" Jin Shao's voice rang in his ears.
Shen Kuo nodded, knowing what he meant, he led Jin Shao to a different space for a moment, and then appeared in General Wang's room.
The old general slept soundly, and the two of them didn't wake up at all when they approached the edge of the bed.Jin Shao stepped forward to wake the man up, and then covered his mouth before the old man yelled out.
"Offended. Chief, it's me, Jin Shao." He whispered.
"Woooo—" the old man nodded, indicating that he knew it.
Jin Shao let go of him and took a step back.
"Chief, you are not as vigilant as before." Jin Shao said lightly, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Shen Kuo took a look and sat down on the wooden chair next to him.
The old man unhurriedly picked up the handkerchief beside the bed, wiped away the physiological tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and then shook his head and said, "Son, I know what you want to ask, you shouldn't have come."
"I shouldn't have come..." Jin Shao chewed on the meaning behind this sentence, "You mean, let me leave it alone? You are going to betray your belief for many years? You don't care about those innocent people? "
The old man threw the handkerchief aside and sighed: "Jin Shao, I'm getting old..."
"So what if you're old!" Jin Shao suddenly became excited, he grabbed the old man by the collar, his eyes were piercing: "How did you tell me that! The people have their ignorant side, but they are also innocent and pitiful Weak people! Our mission is to protect them in this last days where people are going to eat people everywhere, they are the future! There is a future with a lot of people! You said that! It’s only been a few months, have you forgotten?”
The old man was dragged so hard by him that he coughed again and again, but he had no intention of breaking free. He let Jin Shao hold him vigorously until Jin Shao felt bored and let him go dejectedly.
"Jin Shao, you are still too young." The old man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the top of his hair, but he paused in mid-air. After a while, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
"You can't deal with them alone, cough cough cough cough." The old man coughed violently as he said, "You should also know that you are not the only one with supernatural powers in this base city, how many supernatural powers have the mayor hidden?" Those who are capable are not something you and I can know, nor can you and I deal with, let alone those ordinary soldiers. They are all flesh and blood. Do you want them to use ordinary people's bodies to fight against those people? Ability? That is to let them die."
"They were all raised by my father's biological parents. I, or you, who has the qualifications, let young men die, or die in vain."
"But let the mayor and the others..." Jin Shao hesitated to speak.
"I know, I know." The old general waved his hand, coughed for a while, then took a breath, and said: "If you really want to say that they are wrong, it's actually hard to say. It's just that they have different opinions. You know, from the entire human race From the point of view of the survival of human beings, this death is actually insignificant. Which war does not require death, so many people have died in our own internal wars, let alone a war between two races?"
"Don't worry about the alien invasion. The higher-ups already knew about it, even before you left. The higher-ups also have arrangements. It's not like the people in the capital are unaware of what's going on here. This is also a way to deal with it." That’s all, the other side is now in a wait-and-see attitude. Cough cough—”
As the old general spoke, he suddenly coughed violently again. This time he coughed for a particularly long time, and he had to cover his mouth tightly with his palms, coughing so hard that his lungs were piercing.
Jin Shao handed over the handkerchief for him, and the old general accepted it gratefully. After a while, his cough stopped, and the old man put the handkerchief back on the bedside cabinet as if nothing had happened.
He didn't know that Shen Kuo and Shen Kuo had night vision ability, so they put them casually.The two of them could see clearly that there was a bright red patch on the veil.
Shen Kuo swallowed silently, and looked at this old general whose name he only occasionally heard on TV in the dark, and found that his hair was gray, his whole face was thin and wrinkled, and his cheeks and eye sockets were deep. The ground sank, and he lay on the bed with his body hunched over. Without the extra majesty added by the halo of the general when he saw him during the day, he was just a weak and ordinary old man at this moment.
"Don't worry about the affairs here." The old general continued, his cloudy eyes swept the air, "Have you found the young man you were looking for?"
"En." Jin Shao hummed lightly, pinching Shen Kuo's palm to sweat.
Shen Kuo couldn't help but raise his heart.
His conjecture came true, this person really knew of his existence long ago.
"Okay, okay." The old general didn't know what to think of, and smiled gratifiedly, "You've done a good job. I think you seem to have made some progress, otherwise you wouldn't be able to appear to me quietly. You go right away, right away , Cough, take him to the capital. I have a sign in the drawer, you take it to the place where he is locked up, cough, did your brother tell you where he is locked up? Go—non-stop—the capital needs him—cough cough cough……"
The old general bent over again and coughed heart-piercingly. Jin Shao looked at him with concern, moved his hand hanging on the side, but couldn't help but bent forward and patted the old man's back to comfort him. .
"Your body..." Jin Shao frowned.
"It doesn't matter to me." The old man lay back, "I'm just a bad old man who wants to die, you go, they will come."
"Then, I went to the capital..." He hesitated.
"You bring the sign, and they will sense you when you arrive in the capital." The old man smiled weakly.
Jin Shao knew that for people like them, when they received an order from their superiors, they should just do it without saying a word, but it was about Shen Kuo...
For the first time, he asked his superior: "Chief, can you tell me what you want me to take Shen Kuo to the capital for?"
"Boy, are you questioning me?" The old general's sluggish look changed, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at him strangely in the dark. Of course, his old eyes were dim, and he could only see a mass of blackness.
But Shen Kuo, who was pretending not to exist, still felt an invisible coercion coming over his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a general is a general, and his face changed quickly.
After thinking about it, he still looked at the old man expectantly like Jin Shao.
"Tsk tsk." The old general shook his head, "Well, if you want to ask, I can't hide everything from you and make your eyes darken."
Jin Shao held his breath, and Shen Kuo clenched his hands into fists in the darkness.
"Anyway, it's at this time, and it's not too short of 01:30. Let me tell you about it." The old general rubbed his shoulders against the head of the bed, and sat down in a comfortable position.
"When the world was undergoing drastic changes, although mankind was caught off guard and many countries were unable to provide disaster relief in time, many countries still sent people to find out the cause.
Such a big event cannot happen for no reason, there must always be an explanation behind it.We don't even know the cause of the disaster, so how can we talk about ending the disaster. "
Jin Shao nodded, thinking it was easy to understand.
"There are various speculations around the world about the cause of this upheaval. Some people guess that the legendary Gaia consciousness is at work. They think that human beings have destroyed the earth to a certain extent, so Gaia consciousness has awakened. To reset the power balance of the races on the earth, they may even plan to destroy human beings. Some people speculate that this is the so-called spiritual recovery, and feel that a new era is coming... There are also a group of scientists who think this is related to aliens. They use The astronomical telescope observes the starry sky day and night, and it turns out that there are traces of objects moving towards the solar system 250 light-years away from the solar system."
"Alien?" Jin Shao made an incredible voice.
"Two hundred light years, so far away they can affect the earth?"
"No, no, no," the old general shook his head, "That's not true, it's just that someone used that, I don't know what instrument to observe, the space between us and that thing is being folded, or, um, drawn closer. Hi , These are the things of those literati, I, an old man, can't tell clearly, you can ask yourself in the future."
Jin Shao looked at him nervously: "And then?"
"Then? Then, after a bunch of complicated analysis and argumentation by those scientists, they came to the conclusion that aliens are invading the earth. Those aliens are too far away from us, and it is not advisable to fly directly over , but they seem to have some kind of technology, that is, the space folding or stretching mentioned earlier, this technology depends on a space springboard, and that springboard space is the forerunner of their arrival. It has taken root in some space on the earth. How should I put it, it is like an assassin who wants to jump over a wall to assassinate someone, and first throws a flying claw to grab a few bricks on the top of the wall, the space that serves as a springboard It is their divine claws, this claw has caught our earth, and then they can use this claw to hook us, and continue to shorten the distance between us... Hey, it’s not quite right, I’m an old man, and I also do I don’t know, that’s probably how it is.”
Jin Shao understood what he meant. After all, he and Shen Kuo had personally seen the God Claw continuously shorten the distance between the two spaces, and had repeatedly entered the springboard space of others, almost stationed there.
"I understand, so Shen Kuo's village is the place where God's claws caught him, right?" Jin Shao was a little puzzled. If that was the case, why did he seek Shen Kuo?
"No..." The old general suddenly gave him a meaningful look, "Only that young man is."
"Shen Kuo?" Jin Shao was even more puzzled, "But how did you determine this? Isn't it a place..."
Jin Shao wanted to ask again, but the old general became impatient. He lay down under the quilt and turned his back to Jin Shao and began to drive away: "You have so many questions, why don't you go to the kindergarten? Go on, I'm going to sleep. I'm alone Old man in his seventies and eighties, do you have the nerve to disturb my sleep in the middle of the night?"
Jin Shao had no choice. Seeing his firm attitude, he knew that he could not continue the questioning, so he could only take the token and leave.
The mass of darkness representing Jin Shao disappeared into the room, and after a long time, the old general's body locked in the quilt still remained motionless.
Half an hour later, someone hastily kicked open the door of this room, dazzling light came in, a group of people approached the bed, someone lifted the quilt, called the old man's name, but there was no response.
They turned the old man's stiff body over and found that there was still a gratifying smile on the corner of the old man's mouth.
"Damn it!" A burly man in black leather kicked the foot of the bed, and a large piece of the wooden bed collapsed.
Shen Kuo wondered why there were no patrolling soldiers around here, but the surrounding area was too quiet, and he was afraid of alarming others, so he kept the question in his heart.
Jin Shao dragged him around the small garden outside the house, and then directly dragged him to float and stick him to a window.
