How Am I Still Alive?

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind of sweetness the next bite will be. When I was a child, Lu Ping'an really believed it, but later I discovered that those chocolates probably had a bit of an off-flavor, and the more I ate them, the more disgusting they became.

Putting aside those chicken soups for the soul, the reality is that the lives of most ordinary people in the war era are destined to be a coffee table filled with all kinds of cups (tragedy).

The most indispensable thing in the war era is all kinds of bad news and tragedy. News of battle damage and deaths from various places were dropped like pieces of paper. TV news reports have begun not to report double-digit deaths.

Even with the thunder pool, sea monster pool and defense line, there are still intermittent troublesome beings coming ashore. If the defenders and high-level combat power are a little slower this time, the death toll will be more than three digits.

Money has become meaningless in such a situation. No wonder, better force, resources, and living areas have become areas of contention, and unrest has begun in some areas of the country.

A strange thing happened, the Dongguo currency actually experienced a sharp appreciation. The reason is actually simple and crude. The pressure faced by Dongguo is very great, very big, but other countries are even worse. It is so bad that if it is reported directly on the news, not only must it be marked Mosaics also need to be muted.

When extraordinary legions and top killers enter the realm of mortals, a big country with enough foundation will always find a way to deal with it after paying a sufficient price. No matter how big the sacrifice is, it can end. But some small countries are really powerless and can only let it go. The invaders do whatever they want in their own country and on their own island.

Then, naturally, there appeared some friends who came across the ocean to "travel"

"Tsk, don't ask me for this kind of mission next time!"

On the boat, Lu Pingping was unhappy.

His surroundings were covered with flames, and in the ocean in front of him were pieces of charred corpses that smelled like grilled fish.

Not far away, there are the burning corpses of giant sea beasts, wooden sailboats, warships and murloc beasts floating slowly burning on the sea.

Lu Pingan was unhappy when he was forced to work overtime. While complaining to his adjutant, he picked up his large aluminum lunch box, squatted on the observation deck, and picked up his lunch, which was already four hours late.

"Tsk, the meat is already cold." He said, licking the corner of his mouth, and the already cold lunch became hot again.

The most comfortable thing about becoming an extraordinary fire controller is that he can eat hot food no matter what environment he is in.

But this time, he was still unhappy with whoever worked as a foreigner until noon without eating breakfast. He just waited to go to the cafeteria to eat and then took a nap. In the middle of the meal, he was sent to work overtime.

Forget it if it was an opponent truly worthy of fighting, but the result was...

".I really didn't expect that my mission would also be to rescue those deserters, refugees and wealthy businessmen."

Looking at the foreigners who were struggling with the soldiers on his side, Lu Ping'an felt a little unhappy.

Before, there was a fat man who spoke a foreign language and yelled at him. The people behind him couldn't hold him back. They thought Lu Ping'an didn't understand, the group of words starting with F, and "Why didn't you come earlier?" , "It's all your fault" can still be managed, but "Huangpi XX" directly caused Lu's blood pressure to soar.

So, that guy really "soared to heaven."

Lu Ping'an finally figured out that those who could escape across the sea at this time were most of the leaders and wealthy businessmen in those countries, and they had never been very friendly to the "yellow-skinned Chinese" in their own countries.

Lu Pingping was already surprised that he didn't throw them off the boat.

"You have already lost them. The fat man also fed the fish directly, and there are two more hanging on the deck, otherwise they wouldn't be so good."

Catherine said angrily that she was actually already a quasi-regular-level Skyfire Knight. As a confidant of Lu, the "Vulcan Path", she had made rapid progress.

But Lu, based on the principle of "use it to death if it's easy to use", put Catherine into the secretarial team again.

And she is indeed very easy to use. This is not just a simple ability. As an alien, she is very important for stabilizing the alien forces within Lu Ping An's team, and her understanding of Lu Ping An's style of behavior also allows Lu Ping An to be at ease many times. Let go of the boss and let his representatives work as the executors of their own will.

However, considering the delicate identity of her tribe, she really needed the support of Lu Ping'an, a high-level human being. As she dreamed of becoming a knight more and more, she could only serve as Lu Ping'an's adjutant.

"Well, he seems to be saying that he is a relative of the emperor? Will I receive a diplomatic complaint?"

Lu Ping'an actually admires Catherine quite a lot. Having such a foreigner act as his deputy can also make him appear less extreme.

Then, you can do something a little extreme.

"Definitely. That fat man seems to be their president's brother-in-law."

".Tsk."

Lu Pingan opened a bottle of drink and drank it down.

As for the possible punishment from the top, he actually didn't care. If he really reprimanded him one after another, he would give himself less trouble. I'm afraid he would throw all these "deserters" into the sea.

But obviously, that idiot didn't even understand the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder straps, and really thought he was a young naval officer.

It was very helpless that Lu Pingan had to do such boring and boring work himself.

"Your Excellency, the new regulations were implemented last week. Twenty percent of the 'lost items/trophies' will be directly handed over to the military region as logistical supplies."

Hearing this, Lu Pingan was stunned. It was not because of the money and resources, but the meaning of the matter itself.

Soldiers in the modern army receive military pay as a matter of course

"Legal privateering certificate?"

". Very appropriate." Catherine has a strong learning ability and knows a lot about the history and anecdotes of the earth.

Allowing the military and military districts to privately keep spoils of war is only a part of it, and it is completely abnormal in nature.

It is true that soldiers are violent machines, and their actions should be the will of the country and the people. If they fight for their own interests, it is only a matter of time before they become warlords and private soldiers.

But if there are problems with the operation of the military district and the enthusiasm of the officers is sluggish, this is a good stimulant. In the old times, many countries in the past had made such decisions to quench thirst with poison when they were in crisis.

"Is there a problem with the supply?"

"No. It's just that the salary and wages for the extraordinary people to grow up are absolutely not enough."

At this time, Lu Ping'an suddenly realized.

This matter may be viewed from two sides. On the one hand, even if an "out-of-system" extraordinary person like me joins the military district and the army, his enthusiasm is quite subtle. If you ask me to defend my country, I have no objection. If you ask me to sacrifice for other countries and regions, I really don't have that enthusiasm.

Wild superhumans, neutral superhumans, foreign mercenaries, and other warriors who are not "loyal" enough are destined to exist in large numbers, and it is unrealistic to ask them to devote themselves purely.

On the other hand, it is also the difference between the times. For the warriors of the old times, it is enough to provide weapons, equipment and supplies, but superhumans must have resources to grow, otherwise they will turn into unstable bombs.

". I understand a little bit."

Looking at the jubilant sailors and soldiers below, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood.

He was just unhappy because of the extra overtime and fighting, but they were happy because they could get a huge share. These foreign wealthy businessmen who escaped may have some problems with their character, but they are really rich by plucking the feathers of passing geese.

"I know, continue to rob. Ahem, rescue mission."

"By the way, sir, here is a list of people who used nationalism in their country in the past to trap and kill our Dongguo people. If you encounter it"

"Oh, there are always risks on the sea, and it is normal to capsize and drown a few people."
