Chapter 854: A Man Has Tears
When Meng Chao returned to the cafeteria, Long Feijun, the “Railway Gun,” was indeed surrounded by a large group of people. The atmosphere was heated.
Long Feijun was the leader of the young officers in the Red Dragon Army.
Before Meng Chao joined Battle God Palace, Long Feijun was also the most outstanding person there.
Many people called him the Chief of Battle God Palace.
He had a wide circle of friends, a firm stance, and a clear distinction between love and hate. He was an unstoppable bayonet on the rise in the Red Dragon Army.
Therefore, he had countless friends and enemies.
Needless to say, his friends had to be drunk today.
The so-called “enemies” were only internal conflicts in Dragon City.
Since the big shots of all the parties had reached an agreement at the Deity Realm Conference, grudges from the past were naturally brushed off with a smile. Everything else was in the wine.
Whether it was the young officers from the Red Dragon Army, the new elites of the nine mega corporations, or the disciples of the humble families who were also cultivating in Battle God Palace, all of them held the wine in their hands. The fragrance assailed their nostrils as they drank the wine that would burn and competed with Long Feijun.
Even though Long Feijun’s cultivation base was at the peak of the Heaven Realm and he had the Battle God’s true inheritance, he could not bear to drink ten barrels of strong wine mixed with the blood of the Apocalyptic Beasts.
No matter how hard he tried to stimulate his vitality magnetic field, accelerate the circulation of his blood, and promote his metabolism, the liquor would turn into sweat and be discharged from his pores. His skin would then turn into the red color of a cooked lobster.
Fortunately, he had the foresight and had already found a savior.
Meng Chao accompanied Lu Siya for a round outside, and his clothes were soaked through by the rainstorm.
After returning to the cafeteria, he squeezed into the crowd and said that he had just gone out to patrol and heard the movement of an underground river near the Red Dragon Army’s base. It seemed that something was wrong.
He was worried that if the underground river was blocked and the flood came up, it might drown the Red Dragon Army’s base.
The underground river was turbulent, and he could not bear to go down and investigate alone. He still needed a great expert like Long Feijun, who was only second to a Deity Realm expert, to eliminate the danger.
Only then did he save Long Feijun.
However, Long Feijun was already very drunk.
Even though Meng Chao carried him and poured water on his face in the pouring rain, he was still half-drunk.
He sometimes laughed and sometimes danced. The Red Dragon Army colonel, who was usually neat and meticulous, was now unrestrained like a three-year-old child who had secretly drunk fruit wine.
He sang, danced, and laughed in the rain, and his face was covered with crystal-like tears. It was hard to tell whether they were raindrops or tears.
On the day of victory, everyone was happy, and Meng Chao did not stop him.
As long as he did not dive into the surging Red Dragon River or the Raging Tiger River, he would let it out to his heart’s content.
Suddenly, Long Feijun broke free from Meng Chao’s control and ran toward the intersection of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River. The sound of the waves was deafening.
Meng Chao turned pale with fright and hurriedly went forward to intercept him.
Long Feijun did not plan to jump into the river. Instead, he knelt down in front of three small mounds that were like graves on the edge of the cliff near the river.
“We’ve won, Brothers! We’ve won!”!
“Wu Junda, Chen Hao, Fang Ziming, Wang Qi, Zhang Xiao… did you hear that? After half a century of bloody battles, we’ve finally won!”
Long Feijun roared at the mound that looked like a grave, the torrential river behind the mound, the storm behind the river, and the vast world behind the storm.
He said the first name with a smile.
However, he said dozens of names in one breath. When he said the last name, he was in tears.
This iron-blooded tough man, who was eight feet tall, had a strong back, and a strong waist. His shoulders contained the strength of ten thousand kilograms, and he did not even frown when he was almost cut open by a monster. However, at this moment, his shoulders were trembling and tears were streaming down his face.
Meng Chao did not know these people that Long Feijun was talking about.
However, he knew that they must be soldiers from the Red Dragon Army and Long Feijun’s comrades.
They were all brave men who had sacrificed themselves on the battlefield to protect their homes.
Meng Chao did not stop Long Feijun from venting the passion and pain in his heart.
He stood by the side and watched for five minutes calmly.
However, his mood was as turbulent as the intersection of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River.
“Senior Brother Long, the rain is too heavy. Take care of your body.”
Five minutes later, Meng Chao finally stepped forward and hugged Long Feijun, whose eyes were red.
“I’m fine. I’m just… so happy that I won.”
Long Feijun took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. He wiped away the rain and tears on his face and murmured, “It’s not easy. We’ve been on the road of conquering thorns and bloodshed for more than half a century. It’s really not easy for us!”
“That’s right.”
Meng Chao said, “It’s not easy for Dragon City to be reborn after such a catastrophe.”
“It’s not easy for Dragon City, and it’s even harder for the Red Dragon Army.”
Long Feijun said, “Junior Brother Meng, can you help me sit there for a while?”
Meng Chao nodded when he saw that Long Feijun’s face, heartbeat, temperature, pulse, and vitality magnetic field had gradually calmed down.
They found a col with a cliff on the back.
Although it could not completely block the storm.
But for the two superhuman beings with abundant spiritual energy and profound cultivation, a little storm was nothing in the first place.
“By the way, I haven’t thanked you on behalf of Ma Hong. The last time in the canteen of the Hall of ten thousand people, if you hadn’t intervened in time, the Kid would have either gone mad and exploded to death, or he would have hit him too hard, seriously injuring or even beating him to death. That would have been the end of him!”
Long Feijun said to Meng Chao sincerely.
Meng Chao understood what he meant.
The chaotic war was not only about Ma Hong’s life and death.
If someone was killed in public, the differences between the major forces in Dragon City would not be resolved so easily.
“Of course. Ma Hong is my friend, too.”
Meng Chao asked, “By the way, after he recovered, he returned to Dragon City. How is he now?”
“What else can he do? He’s in confinement. After the confinement period ends, I don’t know which army he will be sent to. After all, he has caused such a big mess!”
Long Feijun paused for a moment. His eyes reddened again as he sighed, “Speaking of which, what’s wrong with Ma Hong? Everyone in the Red Dragon Army, from a peerless expert like Thunder God Shao Zhengyang to an ordinary soldier who had just joined the new recruit company, couldn’t resist hearing that the Red Dragon Army was a motley crew!
“Ma Hong was present at that time, and he is the one who is now in detention. If I had been present at that time, I would have been the one who is in detention.
“No, it might not be detention, but a military court. Because my attack will definitely be ten times heavier than Ma Hong’s. People will definitely die.”
His words made both of them laugh.
“The profligate sons of the Shen family are indeed too arrogant. Even in the circle of the nine big families, they are known for their open mouths and tyrannical ways.”
Meng Chao said, “Fortunately, everything has passed. Now, the most important thing for everyone is to unite and march into the depths of the Other World!”
“That’s right, unite…”
Long Feijun stared into the distance in a daze. The two rivers converged and the river water surged violently, crashing into each other and refusing to give up even an inch of land. His nostrils were wide open and two white arrows mixed with the strong smell of alcohol and the aura of apocalyptic beasts were shot out. After suppressing it for a long time, he finally said, “But, junior brother Meng, you don’t know that it hasn’t been easy for the Red Dragon Army on our way here. It’s too difficult, too difficult.
“Do you want to hear about the history of the Red Dragon Army?”
Meng Chao was slightly stunned.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the militarization of dragon city was extremely intense. It could even be said that all the citizens were soldiers.
Naturally, everyone was familiar with the history of the Red Dragon Army.
However, they didn’t know how different the history that Long Feijun, the young military officer, had told them would be from what they had heard and seen in the past?
“You should know that the army that came from Earth and had a glorious history, a sacred mission, and a strong combat ability died heroically in the battle against the flood, the spread of viruses, the rampage of zombies, and the exploration of the ancient ruins in order to protect the tens of millions of citizens of Dragon City in the early stage of their transmigration.”
Long Feijun said in a deep and emotional tone, “Especially the battle to explore the ancient ruins. At that time, we knew nothing about the Other World, spirit energy, viruses, and the Ancients’ power. Every step we took in the depths of the ancient ruins and in the field of spirit energy research was filled with the fresh human lives of the army at that time!
“It was thanks to the heroic sacrifice of the army at that time that we were able to gain a foothold in the Other World and unlock the mysteries of psionic power.
“However, the price was that the army was burnt to ashes for the sake of Dragon City. For a long time, they could no longer protect us.
“Without the protection of the army, the triple invasion of the lack of resources, the rampage of zombies, and the constant awakening of extraordinary powers, the order established based on the environment of Earth collapsed immediately. Dragon City entered a bloody era where the strong preyed on the weak and lawlessness.
“The chaos and suffering of the bloody era goes without saying.
“What I want to say is that, as carbon-based intelligent beings with a long history of civilization, the human beings could not stand the chaos for a long time.
“Moreover, many experts were aware of the threat of the Other World. If Dragon City was in a state of disorder for a long time, even if these experts could take advantage of the fact that they were the first to awaken superhuman forces and become the King among the ruins of Dragon City, when the creatures of the Other World arrived at the city, they would sentence all the transmigrators of Earth to death on the spot.
“Therefore, ‘restoring order’ has become a common voice of the ordinary citizens who are powerless and the experts who are more sober.
“Of course, in the beginning, the people of Dragon City, who had been in chaos for too long in the bloody era, could not establish the highest authority such as the survival committee, nor could they establish a powerful armed organization such as the Red Dragon Army. The people could only build all kinds of ‘gangs’, big and small, with their families, communities, enterprises, institutions, and other groups left over from the old era as the core.
“The original gang was formed naturally.
“In an extremely harsh living environment, as long as a citizen unintentionally awakens his extraordinary power or discovers a warehouse hidden in the depths of the ruins, his family and friends, neighbors who lived in the same building, and past work partners… will all rush to gather with him and seek protection from him.
“In order to search for more resources, to fight against natural and man-made disasters, and to constantly strengthen himself, he has just awakened and is not very powerful. A single bullet can kill a superhuman. He also needs trustworthy companions to keep him warm.”
