Data Wasteland

On the street, a heavy truck passed by, emitting a large cloud of black smoke from its tail. The wooden doors and windows on both sides trembled, and the mottled old house seemed to collapse at any time.

"Ahem, ahem..."

The black smoke dissipated, and a young man holding a blanket bent over, coughing endlessly.

Next to the young man was a dilapidated fire hydrant. The red paint was peeling off in a large area, revealing rusty iron skin. I don't know if it will work.

The wall behind is occupied by colorful graffiti, full of violent and sexually suggestive slogans, such as "fuckyoubaby", "kill you!" "I will make you go to heaven", "blood and bullets" and so on, all in a mess.

"Last night was really wonderful, I assure you, she is definitely the hottest girl I have ever seen!"

A few young men dressed as mercenaries with rifles on their backs passed in front of them, smiling hippies and no one else.

"Don't spend your money in less than ten days like last time. You have to borrow the money to buy bullets from me." "You don't have to worry this time. I have already bought the bullets. I also bought a box of blasting grenades. If I run into a group of corpses again, I will kill his grandma!" "Look at your virtue..."

The voice of speaking gradually faded away. The young man holding the blanket raised his head and looked at the strange street opposite.

Colorful billboards are stacked on top of each other, light bulbs are flickering and dimming, and electrical wires run across alleys full of trash cans.

Pharmacies, clinics, newsstands, gun shops, fast food restaurants, coffee shops, bars, massage parlors, all crowded in small and dirty streets.

"Oh!" "Freedom, I'm here!"

A sand buggy drove past, and the men and women in the buggy screamed cheerfully. The rusty body was violently bumpy, and the hole in the frame seemed to fall apart at any time, but it did not affect the mood of the passengers.

The red light was on briefly, and pedestrians rubbed their shoulders, like a crucian carp crossing a river.

This is the capital of freedom, Sanchahe City.

Except for the high-end hotels in the city center and the strictly managed freight terminal, the whole city is basically like this, chaotic, dirty, and crowded, but full of vitality, like the ecology in the sewer, snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Crawling everywhere.

"Ugh……"

"pain……"

The young man holding the bedclothes sighed sadly, his eyes confused, as if he had just been beaten by a group of strong men, and was exhausted physically and mentally.

The road ahead is long, from a strange city to another strange city, although it is only the distance of a ferry ticket, but to him, it is like a distant shore.

Xiao Yang is a native of Longshi Township, and his parents are farmers in the local plantation. As a subject of the Red Dragon Principality, he never thought that one day he would treason.

He thought of his father's disappointed expression, sitting in the corner smoking a stuffy cigarette, his mother angrily pulling his ears, and the girl in the coffee shop, how she would look at him.

Pain, collapse, want to cry.

Although the adult emphasized repeatedly, this is the meaning from above, and it is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

He took out the sheepskin scroll in his arms and stared at the words burned with laser on it.

There is only a simple sentence, but the format is very formal, and the red wax seal is also stamped below.

Yang Zhixun was ordered to treason.

——Ye Yang Bai Liu

For some reason, he always felt that the signature below was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell why it was strange.

The adult assured him that as long as he returns to his hometown after the war, he can prove his innocence by showing this document.

He was ordered to treason, treason for the country, not a traitor.

Although he is right

The words of the great priest are convinced, the great priest is so holy and noble, like a great existence like light, but his heart is still a little uneasy.

But this anxiety quickly turned into shame.

"Xiao Yang, how can you be so unsteady and weak?"

"You can, you can, come on!"

He shook his head vigorously to clear the distracting thoughts out of his mind, carefully put away the scroll, put it in his underwear pocket, then held the bedding and walked into the small hotel next to it.

The reception hall is very narrow, with only a small window enclosed by an iron fence and a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. The lights are dim, and you can see the price list next to the small window when you are closer.

Single room, five copper per night, no bargaining!

In the money collection window was a middle-aged woman with a face full of flesh, and a pair of tigers stared at Xiao Yang, as if they were not seeing a guest, but a criminal.

In fact, with his salary in the expeditionary army, he can stay in a hotel, but he wants to save more money for his beloved girl.

In the evening, living in a small room with some difficulty even turning around, lying on a crunchy iron frame bed, Xiao Yang, who had just had dinner, was a little bored, so he sent a message to his beloved girl.

[It’s quiet at night, I miss you]

[I think you can't sleep]

[Love you, what is it~~]

I sent several messages, but it seemed like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no reply for a long time.

In the next few hours, Xiao Yang looked at the black watch when he was okay, but couldn't wait for a response.

"Will something happen?"

Xiao Yang became a little worried, so he dialed Xiao Xuan's voice communication.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

It rang several times, and it was connected over there.

"Well, old, husband, ah, husband, ah..."

Hearing Xiaoxuan's sweet voice, Xiao Yang suddenly became excited. The two are just boyfriend and girlfriend friends, and the communication is limited to holding hands. Xiaoxuan never calls her husband.

Unexpectedly, the rapid progress today, Xiao Xuan actually took the initiative to call her husband.

"Husband, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

Xiao Xuan seemed to be working hard, gasping for breath.

"What's wrong with you, is it uncomfortable?" Xiao Yang asked nervously.

"No, no, um, um, ah..."

"Why are you panting so badly?"

"I, I'm running, ah, ah..."

"That's good." Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll be fine." Then he exhorted, "Drink more hot water and wear more clothes."

"Ok, uh, uh, uh..."

At the end of the communication, Xiao Yang was lying on the bed with a happy smile on his face. His mind was full of pictures of returning home after the war and walking into the church with Xiao Xuan.

The next day, Xiao Yang bought a ticket to Ice Blue City, and after several hours of sailing, he disembarked at the Ice Blue City pier.

He had never been to Ice Blue City in the future, and his expression was a bit nervous because of the psychological effects of leaving the motherland and entering the enemy-controlled area. As I walked, I looked around and looked a little sneaky.

"Hey, the one over there, come here!"

His unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of the guards, and a woman in black with a guard called him over.

Xiao Yang looked more flustered, but he didn't dare to run. This is the dock and the only way out is to dive, but he was born in the North Wilderness as a landruck and can't swim.

After a search, the documents hidden in the underwear bag were found.

"Ordered to treason?"

The woman in black looked at Xiao Yang suspiciously, Xiao Yang quickly explained with a smile, "It means literally."

The woman in black frowned, as if looking at a fool.

"This person is suspicious, take it away!"

"No, I'm not suspicious, I'm innocent!"

Xiao Yang's yelling didn't help much, and a few big and thick guards rushed forward, grabbed him firmly, and dragged him into the prison car next to him.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yang was escorted to the underground interrogation room of the black prison, tied to a shelf and served with a whip.

"Say, are you a spy from the north!"

"I, I'm not a spy!"

"Not a spy, why are you carrying a strange paperwork?"

"I'm here to see Master Chen Xing."

"The Prime Minister's name is also something you can call!"

"Don't, don't fight, I am indeed looking for the Prime Minister."

"Are you trying to assassinate the Prime Minister!"

"No, no, I don't!"

"Dare to quibble!" The female interrogator flicked her whip, "Looking at you sneaky, you know you are plotting wrong!"

"Wrong, wronged!"

Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room swished and opened automatically, and a tall woman in black walked in.

"Master Guihu, we caught a northern spy." The female interrogator stepped forward to report.

Hearing the familiar name, Xiao Yang struggled to raise his head, and when he saw that he was an acquaintance, he shouted excitedly, "Ghost Fox, it's me, it's me, I'm Xiao Yang!"

Finally, Xiao Yang, who had tasted the whip, ended his tragic fate after seeing the ghost fox.

After another half an hour, Xiao Yang, who was holding the blanket, was taken into the Ice Blue City Palace by the ghost fox and met Chen Xing in the prime minister's office in the chamber.

"Boss, boss!"

"Little Yang!"

The old subordinates were naturally very happy to see the old leader.

Sitting down and chatting about the current situation, Chen Xing patted Xiao Yang on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Xiao Yang, you will be the prime minister's assistant from now on."

"Thanks for the boss promotion!"

Although Xiao Yang's own position has not been promoted, he is still an assistant, but the position of the assisted person has increased, and he has also risen with the tide. From the initial assistant to the captain, to assistant to the mayor, assistant to the commander-in-chief, to the current assistant to the prime minister.

"Would you like me to take you to meet your girlfriend? There are many noble ladies to marry at the court ball." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Boss, I already have a girlfriend." At the moment of the temptation, Xiao Yang firmly refused.

"That's it..." Seeing that Xiao Yang was so steadfast, Chen Xing couldn't say anything. "I asked Guihu to arrange a room for you. You have just arrived today. Take a rest and come back to work tomorrow morning."

"Boss, I'm not tired." Xiao Yang poured tea to Chen Xing, "Boss, drink tea."

"Well, very good..." Chen Xing nodded in satisfaction. Comrade Xiao Yang is still very good, diligent and serious. He secretly made up his mind that he must arrange a good home for Xiao Yang in the future, so that honest people should not bleed. Tears.

He even thought of letting Xiao Yang represent him in the future to marry an important force and marry Xiao Yang.

After all, Xiao Yang came from an ordinary background, so he could only enter the wealthy family if he wanted to enter the family.

My son-in-law, Xiao Yang, I am very happy when I think about it. Since then, I have no worries about food and clothing, as long as he obeys his male morals and serves a good wife.

Xiao Yang's honest character that can't be beaten with a few sticks is the most suitable.
