Chapter 991 The last journey

  North, noon.

  Qing’s E1923 reconnaissance battalion is shuttling through the mountains and fields. They are wearing the most advanced exoskeleton armor. When jumping between mountains, they are like large grasshoppers and move quickly.

   Someone was carrying a simple radio station, maintaining communication with the rear command post.

  These radio stations were all mass-produced, and it seemed that Qing's troops were well prepared for the destruction of the satellite.

   It's not that the old man on Ginkgo Mountain saw this moment from his fate, but it's a necessary part of modern warfare.

  In the communication, the battalion commander quickly said: "It is close to the No. 2394 production base, and no abnormalities have been found yet."

   Someone said in the communication: "Continue to investigate."

  30 minutes later, the battalion commander suddenly noticed something unusual in the forest in front of him. There were huge and messy orc footprints everywhere on the muddy ground, and there were traces of sharp claws on the trees.

   "Alert!"

  The reconnaissance battalion continued to move forward. When they walked out of the woods, everyone saw that the breeding base in front of them was full of blood, sheep bones, cow bones, horse bones, and even human bones.

  The farmhouse at the production base has collapsed, and the metal storm in the base has also been smashed.

  The soldiers watched this shocking scene, and it was hard to imagine what caused this catastrophic scene.

  However, at this moment, there was a low-pitched growl behind them, and all the soldiers turned their heads to look, only to see countless werewolf soldiers approaching, staring at them.

  The production base issued an alarm before the communication was cut off, claiming to be attacked by unknown creatures.

   The reconnaissance battalion came to check, but didn't expect that the group of unknown creatures had just finished eating and hadn't all left yet.

   "Fire!" The battalion commander roared.

  But each of these werewolves has the speed and strength beyond ordinary A-level genetic fighters, which is the average genetic fighter per capita in the reconnaissance battalion, and it doesn't help that they are equipped with the most advanced exoskeleton armor.

  The beast army tore apart their formation with just a short charge.

  Standard automatic rifles can't even cause fatal damage to them. Unless the bullets directly hit their eyes, throats, and mouths, they will be ineffective at all.

  The battalion commander used the last time to transmit the message back to the rear headquarters by radio, and then there was no more news.

   This orc army has engulfed countless Qing's field troops. Their speed of attack is like a high-speed rail on the track, even the speed of mechanized troops cannot compare with it.

  The crisis at Jianmen Pass has not yet ended, and a new crisis has arrived.

   Moreover, the reconnaissance battalion did not find any trace of the Storm Sky Fortress.

  …

  …

   On Ginkgo Mountain, Ling Zheng was sitting in the house halfway up the mountain, looking at the chessboard in front of him seriously: "It is not easy for human beings to win against artificial intelligence on the chessboard."

   "Someone beat you," the old man said calmly.

  They did not use the taboo ACE-002 Heaven and Earth Chessboard, but replaced the ordinary chessboard and chess pieces. This game of chess seems to have no meaning, just to pass the time.

  Ling said: "Qing Zhen was able to win against me because I have never seen that kind of move that puts him to death and survives, but once I have seen it, it is impossible to use the same method again."

  The old man smiled: "Why do you have to stick to losing and winning? Happiness is also very important."

   "Focus on happiness and process, usually an excuse for losers and cowards," Zero Calm said: "Sorry, the way artificial intelligence life speaks is a bit straightforward."

  The old man smiled even more happily: "Since I'm not even sure whether I can win, can't I use excuses to comfort myself?"

   "Where is the heaven and earth chessboard?" Zero asked.

   "The chess piece has been used up, and it disappeared by itself," the old man said, "I don't know where it will appear next time."

   "Everyone has evacuated, but you and the dumb servant are still staying on Ginkgo Mountain? City No. 5 is located in the northernmost part of Qing's territory, and the orc army came here to bear the brunt," Ling asked.

   "I don't want to go," the old man said, "I'm tired."

   "It's quite calm," he dropped a piece, showing the old man's bad state of the black dragon on the chessboard.

  The old man suddenly asked: "Qing Chen hasn't returned to the Eastern Continent so far, are you making things difficult?"

   "Why do you say that?" Zero asked rhetorically.

While thinking about the chess game, the old man said: "Qing Chen called Qin Shuli in the watch world, saying that the surface of the Central King City was blocked. At that time, Luo Wanya realized that something was wrong, but he didn't find any specific problems for a while. When I got After knowing the content of the call, I realized that you may be the one who took advantage of the asymmetry of information to deceive them."

Ling smiled: "I didn't expect that Qing Chen would immediately think of passing on the information after only returning for 7 days. Most people would avoid the people and things in the past after amnesia, but he was different. The first thing he looked for was It is the best solution. Through the 7-hour experience that Yi told him, he found that you must be trustworthy, so instead of slowly recovering the memory by yourself, it is better to find you first... If I lost my memory, I might not Trust everyone."

   "Why did you do this?" the old man asked curiously.

  His expression was peaceful and he didn't seem angry.

Ling said: "It's just that I can't bear my daughter to endure loneliness like me, that's all. If I want to say an objective self-analysis, it is that the loneliness for thousands of years has distorted my view of feelings, but there is never any right or wrong in feelings. I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a little selfish in a relationship.”

   "The result?" The old man had a new curiosity: "Did Yi succeed?"

Zero smiled and said: "I don't know the result, because the communication was cut off. But I judge, she is likely to give up... She is much kinder than me. If my deduction is correct, Qing Chen should already be returning On the way to the Eastern Continent."

   "Is it in time?" the old man asked.

  Ling thought for a while: "I think it's too late... Would you be a little disappointed, after all, your plan is to wait for him to come back, to wait for the moment when he becomes a god."

  The old man smiled and said, "There are disappointments."

  Ling asked: "Do you know the difference between you and Qing Zhen?"

  The old man said frankly, "I am not as good as Qing Zhen's ancestor."

Zero: "No, in my opinion, there is not much difference in your intelligence. You even have a chessboard. The difference between you and him is that he always believes that things can turn around, and he always believes in the power of ordinary people. I agree with Qing Chen's saying that this era does not need a savior, it needs everyone to stand up and become a hero, although it is very secondary, but I quite like it."

  The old man smiled: "Is there a time when artificial intelligence is passionate?"

   As he spoke, he wiped the chessboard casually, disrupting the chess game that was nearing its conclusion: "Ah, sorry, the chessboard is messed up."

  Ling was stunned for a moment: "The patriarch of the dignified Qing family, actually made such a naive move?"

  The old man said seriously: "Li Xiurui, the Patriarch of the Li Clan, is so childish, I learned from him. And I am not the Patriarch of the Qing Clan now, I just rehired as a worker as soon as I retire."

  Zero: "Tsk tsk."

  The old man was surprised: "It turns out that artificial intelligence can also make such a disdainful voice?"

Zero: "Ren Xiaosu taught me a lot of useless things, such as answering 'sufficient' for uncertain things, and 'tsk tsk' to express dislike. To be honest, he is regarded as a **** by you, but the things he did are not a What the gods should do... I'm curious, I delayed Qing Chen's return, aren't you angry at all?"

  The old man smiled: "If Qing Chen becomes a god, let alone whether he can defeat the Western Continent, let me ask a question: Is the Western Continent still capable of killing him?"

  Zero thought for a moment: "Although gods are not omnipotent, only gods can kill gods, so theoretically there are only two people in this world who can kill him."

The old man said: "Then, as long as he is still alive, the Qing family will never 'die', right? The worst result is that the Qing family is the last person left, but those people in the Western Continent will be sunk by him sooner or later In time. My Qing clan has long been undefeated, why should I be worried?"

The old man continued: "Although we will die, I will, Qingyehui, Qingkunhui, Qingyuhui, but Qingshi will not, that's enough. Wherever he is, there is Qingshi, and the kindling of Qingshi is actually It's a god, are you afraid?"

Ling got up and left: "As long as my son is fine, don't you care about the flood? It's the first time I've heard you say how you love your son so boldly. Of course, that's why I said, although you are not a qualified leader, you are A qualified father... would you still let me continue to take over the command?"

  The old man smiled and said: "Someone will do it for me, so I can just save my worries. As a worker, I can fish if I can."

   Zero nodded: "Don't worry, the difference between me and you is that I don't think Qing Chen is needed in this war, and it can be won."

   As she spoke, she walked out of the hut, walked along the secluded steps, and left the Gingko Manor.

  The old man sat quietly in the room, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qingji walked in from the door: "Old man, several troops in the north have found traces of the orc army... Our army was wiped out. They are using high mobility to defeat our army one by one. They are too flexible. We It is very difficult to resist effectively. Qingyu has done a tactical analysis, and the number of the orc army is currently about 230,000, and the Qing group will be wiped out after annihilating 110,000 orcs."

  After a long time, the old man sighed: "I'm old, I can't hear such news anymore."

   "We should go, the orc army is very close," Qingji said.

   "Not leaving."

  …

  …

  Jianmen Pass.

  Members of the Parents’ Association passed through Qing’s line of defense one by one. When they passed by, Qing’s soldiers would hand them bread and mineral water, and told them to eat slowly so as not to overwhelm their stomachs.

   "Keep going, new shoes and clothes will be distributed in front, thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

  Some members of the parent association looked blankly at the bread and water in their hands, feeling a little unreal.

  For so long they have traveled over the mountains and mountains, they have never seen reinforcements, supplies, and no help except a little medicine.

  At the beginning, many people in the organization whispered that because the parents had died, Qing chose to abandon the parent association...

  Neither Qing Chen nor the old man on Gingko Mountain told them when someone would pick them up and when it would be the end, but they just kept telling them to go forward and keep going.

  And now, in the mountain defense line of Jianmen Pass, there are only soldiers of the Qing clan, who are waiting here with supplies, making them a little at a loss...Why did you go so early?

  Luo Wanya stood in front of a military tent, and asked Qingyi doubtfully, "Don't you need to go on?"

  Qing shook his head: "No, you have to keep going, 20 kilometers ahead, there will be a prepared key door to take you to other places."

   "Why didn't you use the Key Gate before?" Luo Wanya asked bitterly.

  Qingyi shook his head again: "This is Ginkgo Mountain's decision, we have no right to ask."

  Luo Wanya asked: "How long can we rest at Jianmen Pass?"

"Can't rest," Qingyi said: "There are more than 10,000 war robots outside Jianmen Pass. No one knows when the barrier that traps them will loosen. We will monitor the barrier at any time. Immediately drop the missiles...but if the missile bombing fails, everyone here at Jianmen will buy you some more time so that you can pass through the key gate smoothly."

  The members of the Parents' Association looked at each other in blank dismay. They did not expect that they would continue to trek after reaching Jianmen Pass.

   At this time, many people's physical fitness has reached its limit.

   Or in other words, everyone has already reached the limit, and I don’t know how many times the limit has been broken.

   "Where is behind the key door?" Luo Wanya wondered.

   "I don't know, it's also the old man's decision," Qing Yi said calmly, "Go ahead, your end point is not here."

  Luo Wanya seemed to have a feeling: "Is your end... here?"

   Qingyi grinned: "I don't know."

  Luo Wanya took a deep breath, turned around and said to Xiaoqi, "Go ahead!"

  Kindai Sorayu's cry came from the team, and only Kamodai Unra comforted him patiently.

  Xiaoqi took the little monk and continued to walk towards the unknown destiny ahead. The huge team set off again,

  …

  …

   Qingyi looked at the back of the parents' association leaving, Qingkun came behind him and cursed: "Why don't you leave, kid?"

  Qing looked back at his father: "I came with a task, so I can't leave until I finish it."

  Qing Kun froze for a moment: "What are you secret agents doing here? Are you collecting information?"

   "You may have forgotten that the secret agent's duty is not only to collect information, but also to infiltrate, assassinate, and behead," Qingyi said: "The most dangerous things in the entire Qing family have always been done by my secret agent."

  Qing Kun cursed, he looked around, and suddenly found that the hatch of a floating airship that came with Qing Yi had never been opened: "What's in there?"

  Qing shook his head: "This colleague, please respect yourself. Although I am on the same level as you, the Secret Service Division has a higher level of secrecy than you. Please don't inquire casually."

  Qing Kun immediately became anxious: "Is there something like the tyrant in there?"

  As a high-ranking officer of the Qing Clan, he certainly knew that the tyrant that blasted the fleet of No. 18 and Heishui City to the sky came from the Qing Clan. The airship now probably contains the same thing.

  Qing thought for a while and said, "This one is not that powerful."

Qing Kun grabbed his son's shoulder and roared angrily: "Do you know that the reason why I guard Jianmen Pass is to let you live to see the victory, but now you are also sent to die, so I guard Jianmen Pass What's the point?"

  Qing Yiping looked at his father: "Aren't I from the Qing family? Others can die, but I can't?"

   "Of course not!" Qing Kun said, "I can't control others, but I can control you."

  At this time, Qing Kun suddenly found that his son had grown taller at some point, tall enough to look at him at the same level.

  Qingyi said: "Come here, take away Commander Qingkun. An order from the general headquarters is now issued, and all Qing's troops in the Jianmen Pass area will begin to evacuate. After the parents' meeting passes through the key gate, the Qing's troops will pass through."

   As he spoke, Yan Chunmi led someone to quickly control Qing Kun.

  The Faceless Man Troop, as Qing Kun's guards, quickly confronted the secret agent. Qing looked at the captain of the Faceless Man Troop: "Follow the order!"

  Qing Kun was yelled with his arms bound: "Don't listen to him, arrest this kid for me, and evacuate together!"

Qing Yi looked at the Faceless Man troops and said seriously: "At the moment of life and death, there is no room for hypocrisy. These 12,000 war robots are a key part of the Western Continent, and they must stay here forever. Qinghua, prepare two floating ships Empty airship, we are ready to leave."

   Qing Kun asked in a daze: "You boy... can't you bomb them with missiles from a long distance? Or we can place bombs next to the barrier in advance, and detonate the bomb once the barrier is loose."

  Qing smiled and said: "Yes, this is my plan. I didn't say I would die, why are you in a hurry? Put down the missile and I will withdraw from a safe distance. Why do you make it look like you are dying?"

  Qing Kun froze for a moment: "Then you let me go, it's very simple, I'll do it."

  Qing shook his head: "It's not safe. Since this task is entrusted to me, I must complete it."

   As he spoke, he boarded a floating airship.

  Before closing the hatch, Qing Yi turned to Qing Kun: "Father, thank you."

  Three floating airships took off, including the floating airship carrying the miniature nuclear warhead 'Greedy'.

  They drove straight to the outside of Jianmen Pass. Above all the evacuated troops, only they flew against the flow of the crowd and flew in the direction of the barrier.

  The Faceless Man Troop stood beside Qing Kun and said, "The young master has grown up."

  …

  …

  In Jianmen Pass, Qing's troops suddenly discovered that the teams of the parents' association were neatly divided into thousands of teams.

   You must know that this team has gone through dozens of days of the Long March, lacking food and clothing, suffering from hunger and cold.

   Now, this team still maintains excellent order during the evacuation.

  Actually, even if the parents fled like refugees, they would not be surprised, but these people became more resilient after being tempered.

  And the members of the parent association did not overeat, they just sipped mineral water in small sips, tore all the bread into willow shapes, and swallowed it after chewing it all into liquid.

   Nobody is hungering.

   Along the way, no matter how busy or tired the Parents Association was, they never stopped ideological construction. Now is the time to test the results.

  The Qing soldiers knew that these 250,000 people had finally been tempered into a team capable of fighting.

   Along the way, Luo Wanya and Xiao Qi were always at the forefront. They walked the last 20 kilometers with difficulty for two hours.

   Far away, they finally saw a figure.

  Someone rushed over, Nangong Yuanyu was the first to arrive, followed by Qing Ling, Li Cheng and others who had followed Qing Chen to leave the A02 base.

  The last is Yangyang.

  In the further distance, there are hundreds of moving key doors leaning against the big trees, which are in an open state.

  Earlier, Qing said that he could rest here and have more supplies, but he didn’t say who was waiting for them here.

  Luo Wanya was stunned: "I was still discussing why you disappeared, even the Yangyang girl disappeared. So you have been waiting here to prepare the key door."

   "That's right," Yang Yang said, "Hurry up and pass through the key door, there are still people waiting for you behind the door."

  Luo Wanya was stunned for a moment, he walked towards the key door step by step, and stepped on it hesitantly.

   Just when he was in a daze, someone said to him: "Thanks for your hard work."

  Luo Wanya turned his head and looked, it was Li Shutong!

   Master of the boss!

   "You... why are you here?" He wondered.

   Li Shutong smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

   While speaking, Li Shutong put his finger on Luo Wanya's wrist.

breathe!

  At this moment, Luo Wanya knew the meaning of their trek.

  The upper limit of the first three breaths of the quasi-mentioned method is B-level, and according to statistics, there are as many as 40,000 members of the parent association who have reached B-level, but everyone has not obtained the fourth breath and cannot continue to break through.

Qingchen once speculated that, compared to the order in which knights directly intervene in the heart as ordinary people, the quasi-mention method starts from the first breathing technique step by step, and slowly allows the practitioner to reach the state enough to withstand the fourth breathing technique , and then go through the questioning of the fourth breath technique, breaking through the final bottleneck of the quasi-lifting method.

   It’s just that, even if the breathing method is gradual, Luo Wanya and the others are still in danger after going through the fourth session of the breathing method, because asking the heart is asking the heart, no matter how simple it is, it is still asking the heart.

  So, the old man on Ginkgo Mountain left them in a corner of the world and ignored them. They were not given food, clothing, assistance, or even communication, so that they could feel the loneliness and loneliness of the world.

  Qing Chen took the longest path among all the shortcuts in the world, because his mind was born to walk.

   Luo Wanya and the others took the path of Zhuntifa because they have put in enough hard work, suffered enough hardships, and their hearts are as firm as a rock.

  They take a ride, see a ride, say goodbye to a ride, and give up a ride. Their lives are already different.
