Data Wasteland

Dr2617-12-16, am8:55

On the border of the Principality of Silver Claw, the old mine in Dada Town, the Temporary Expeditionary Command, in front of the lounge.

"Not awake yet?"

Facing Xiang Caidie's question, Jianyue Canglian, who was kneeling on the side of the passage, shook her head gently.

"I really want to see you nodding." Xiang Caidie sighed, her mood turned a little depressed.

She walked to Jianyue Canglian, who moved aside to give up a part of her position, and then she sat down.

"I hope I can wake up before the harvest festival," Xiang Caidie said.

It has been a week since Chen Xing was in a coma, and there is still no sign of awakening. Chen Xing lay there, motionless, like a vegetable. In order to prevent him from dehydration, Jianyue Canglian had given him an amino acid drip.

The Harvest Festival is one of the most important festivals in the red earth world. It starts at the Holy Light Church in the Western Continent. It is an equally important holiday on December 26th and the "Spring Festival" in the Eastern Continent.

"I look forward to every second, the master will wake up in the next second." Jianyue Canglian said. There are still ten days before the Harvest Festival, and she doesn't want her master to be in a coma for so long.

"I'm the same as you." Xiang Caidie quickly stated her position.

Seeing Yue Canglian turned her face, nodded at her, expressing her approval.

Next, the two fell into a long silence. One sat on his knees, looking straight ahead, and the other sat on the ground with his hands on the ground, looking at the incandescent lamp above his head.

At this moment, outside the mine is heavily guarded.

The innermost are the guards and guards, and then the elites of the Chinese army. There are three floors inside and three floors outside. Not even a mosquito can fly in.

Chen Xing is the soul and pillar of the expeditionary army. Unlike other troops, it will be done by changing the commander. If something goes wrong with Chen Xing, the expeditionary force will be destroyed.

The reason is simple. The main composition of the expeditionary army is a group of mercenaries gathered from all over the world. They came together because of their common ideals and became Chen Xing's subordinates.

These people accounted for three-quarters of the expeditionary army, and apart from Chen Xing, who was the successor of Tieno, no one had enough prestige to lead them.

Then there is the family of the Gray Horn city gate lords represented by Ye Yang Zhengxiong, and the Northern Wilderness Fringe Town forces represented by the Mayor of Prade. These are basically Chen Xing's personal friendships.

Not to mention other people. Joining the expeditionary force is nothing but opportunism, and the main purpose is to get promoted and make money. If it weren't for Chen Xing to be favored by the Devil Princess, they would never join in at the risk of offending the royal family of Maris and other mainstream dignitaries.

Therefore, once the news of Chen Xing's coma spreads out, the expeditionary force will immediately become a mess.

What's more terrible is that Chen Xing was in a coma caused by the undercurrent of communication time and space, and he couldn't move his position casually.

If the enemy grasps this news, I'm afraid it will be wiped out in an instant.

"Is there something going on up there, sending so many people to defend?" a Chinese soldier from the former Northbridge Regiment asked his chief.

"Shut your mouth!" The ensign lowered his voice and taught him a lesson. "If you should ask, you can ask, if you shouldn't, don't mention a word!"

Near the mine, is the guard zone of the first elite guards.

"Vice regiment, I haven't seen the boss for many days, do you think..." The rat looked at the fire and glanced in the direction of the mine entrance, without finishing the second sentence.

Huozui used to be the deputy head of the Leiguang regiment. Rats got used to the call, so they used the previous name without realizing it.

Huo Tsui hugged his chest with his arms around his chest, his sturdy shoulders bulged high, and he saw his brows frowned slightly, and he muttered to himself, "It's a bit strange..."

The rat glanced around and whispered, "Look, do you want to ask Commander Xiang..."

Huozui pondered for a while, then shook his head, "Not suitable."

"Why is it inappropriate?" The rat disagreed. "You said, what is the relationship between us and the boss?

Life and death, in the water and in the fire, more kiss than a brother. "

"Brothers still settle accounts." Huozui said gruffly.

"Okay, if you are afraid of a wife and dare not ask, then I will go!"

The rat used the radical technique, but Huozui remained unmoved, "Come on, now it's not a question of fear, but a question of suitability." Huozui grinned, "So. , Why when I was the deputy regiment, you were the one carrying the flag."

"That's because Boss Tie is eccentric and likes fat people," said the rat, his expression very unhappy.

"Look at your hard mouth." Huozui smiled more happily, and then patted the rat on the shoulder, "It's okay, I won't make fun of you." He said sternly, "Now the boss is a handsome man. As the saying goes Said that the state has national laws and the military has military regulations."

"Now it's no better than when we were in the Leiguang group, we just do whatever we want, and everything must be done according to the rules."

"The boss appoints Miss Xiang as the deputy commander of the army, so naturally there is reason for him. It is our own business to execute orders."

"Trust the boss, trust the boss's judgment, if there is anything, Miss Xiang will definitely discuss with us as soon as possible."

"Look at so many people here, only we are at the door, who is our brother, Miss Xiang knows very well in her heart."

"Um..." After some persuasion, the rat finally let go of his doubts.

The same doubts also plagued the master group that carried out reconnaissance missions outside Dada Town.

"Big Meow, you said Mr Qin hasn't contacted us for many days?" Cassie stared with eyes and mouth, like a curious chimpanzee.

"Yeah." The big cat nodded, "According to his previous habit, he will contact me every three days or so to ask about the situation."

The master group is Chen Xing's pro-army, and it is also a unit directly led by Chen Xing. It only accepts Chen Xing's orders.

This week, Big Cat has only received orders from Xiang Caidie, and Chen Xing has not contacted him personally. He immediately realized that there might be a problem with Chen Xing.

But Xiang Caidie didn't say, he was not easy to ask.

Chen Xing also explained that Xiang Caidie can represent him in an emergency.

It’s okay to execute orders, but Big Cat has been in Beiqiao Regiment, knowing Xiang Caidie’s true level, it’s okay to bring a small team, but the big corps is stretched out. Like him, she is fine as Chen Xing's executor, but she is definitely lacking in acting alone.

"Is Mr Qin dead?" Cassie's eyes suddenly widened, his white eyes bulging out, looking a little funny. He danced with his hands, "Is it in the sky, Feifeifei, Angel Feifeifei..."

"No, no, no!" Big cat quickly denied. This Cassie's mind is still too simple. Discuss the problem with him, and it is very likely that he will miss his mouth.

"It's estimated that I won a battle recently, I'm slack, and I'm too drunk, I can't get out of bed..." Big Cat said with some helplessness.

"It must be pulling!" Cassie clenched his fist and said angrily, "Mr. Qin's wife is so many, loves this and that, it's very bad, I used to force me to talk to ugly women..." He got more excited as he talked, drooling. Sprayed on the face of the big cat, "That woman has body odor, it stinks to me, and there is a fat, big cat, who is as fat as you, so I can’t breathe, you know what, I just want to breathe …"

Looking at the babbled black guy, the big cat couldn't help rubbing his brows.

Whenever this time, he would think of Lao Ji. If the old man is still alive, at least there is someone who can discuss things, instead of being sprayed with spit on his face and having to keep nodding in agreement to prevent the other party from leaking the wind.

But what the big cat didn't know was that the two women were afraid to tell anyone about this matter until now. Because in their eyes, everyone is likely to be a traitor.

Originally encountered this kind of incident, the first person who should be informed was Lin Shiyuan, the chief of staff appointed by Chen Xing, and the think tank of the expeditionary army.

However, Xiang Caidie didn't dare. She knows very little about Lin Shiyuan. She only knows that Chen Xing brought back from Baixiang City. She is good at writing poems. She often chants Fengyue with aristocratic widows on the Internet. She also runs a poetry club.

It's not serious.

To be honest, Xiang Caidie hates such a man, soaking in women all day, playing coquettish, not doing business, and doesn't think he has the ability to command military.

But this is not the most important thing. In her view, loyalty to Chen Xing is the most important thing. She has not found any evidence that has enough convincing evidence to prove that Lin Shiyuan is trustworthy.

As for other people, even if they are trustworthy, what use is it to say?

Maybe Huozui and Big Cat are trustworthy, but speaking out, apart from a few more people knowing, it won't help. She can't expect two simple-minded men with well-developed limbs to be smarter than her, or have more social resources and relationships than her, a strong sanctuary.

The principle of confidentiality is that if it is not necessary, one less person knows the risk.

If the other party is loyal, she will faithfully execute her orders even if she doesn't know it. Because Chen Xing had explained in advance, in case of emergency, she could exercise the power of supreme commander of the expeditionary army on her behalf. She, the deputy commander of the army, is more than just a display.

If the other party has different intentions, knowing it will be a disaster.

Which one is lighter and heavier, you will know when you think about it.

Therefore, she must keep it secret. The only thing she can do now is to block the news and wait for Chen Xing to wake up.

But in case, Chen Xing can't wake up...

She patted her face vigorously, not daring to think about the consequences.

A man who gave her the first taste of being a woman, a man who promised her all the future, a man who was passionate, ruthless, funny and boring...

If he disappears, maybe her heart will die with it, becoming a soulless shell.

The little maid next to her closed her eyes and held her hands together, seeming to be praying. The palace maids have no god, and their master is their supreme god, so who is she praying to?

Thinking of this, Xiang Caidie changed her posture, knelt on her knees, shook hands with each other, bowed her head and closed her eyes, and meditated in her heart.

"Goddess of courage and strength, steadfastness and unity, invincible steel goddess, please listen to my prayers..."

In the endless darkness, a little light lit up.

After a glance, Chen Xing quickly closed the watch cover and put the pocket watch in his arms, trying to prevent light from leaking out as much as possible.

He has been observing all this time.

This is a pier. The road is long and narrow. There are wooden boards at the foot and wooden fences on both sides. Under the wooden boards, I can't see what it is. In short, there is no sound of water.

The carrion in the front and the back is not motionless, but occasionally shakes twice and moves forward a few steps.

Because the pier is very narrow and there is not enough space on both sides, he can't run to the front or the back. He can only stand in his place like these carrion corpses. Whenever the team moves forward, he can move forward a few steps.

After this period of observation, he found a pattern.

Whenever the hour and minute hands in the pocket watch pass by at twelve o'clock, the team will advance a little bit.

Then he began to think about whether there would be a ferry passing by every twelve o'clock just like queuing to board a boat. The carrion in front got on the boat, so the team moved forward a bit.

Or, line up to sacrifice...

For example, lining up to fill the belly of something...

This possibility is a bit scary to think of, you know, he is a weak dish that can't even release the power of his fingertips here.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing touched the copper watch in his arms. This is the only thing that can give him peace of mind.

That respectable former mayor, Legend of the Deep Sea, wouldn't he be pitted?

There is no need to cheat him, if you really want to cheat him, can't you just stand by and watch?

But the other party seems to be a little mentally upset...

Between thoughts, there was a crunching sound from the front, and something seemed to be squeezing up behind it.

When the time came, he quickly moved forward.
