Star of Civilization

...

They are ready to set up camp here. The water source here is quite abundant, but I don’t know if it is polluted and can I drink it?

Some unusual plants around this place are growing well, and it seems that the ecological environment should be well restored.

Dad and the others were going to leave early the next morning. All of their vehicles formed a large circle with an open space in the middle and a bonfire was lit.

Perhaps because of the large number of people and their self-confidence in their strength, they do not shy away from the rules of survival in the wilderness.

...

In the villa on the top of the mountain.

"How are they... how far are they?" the old man wearing a helmet asked. In front of him was a young guy, covered in mud and branches disguised as a scout for this group of thugs.

"Nothing, they seem to have camped, I saw a campfire..." the guy said.

"Huh? Have you camped on the spot... It seems that they won't leave tonight, that's not easy to handle." The old man paced the room, thinking about it all the time.

"Okay, then wait another day, I don't believe they won't leave. Even if it comes during the day, we have to act, we can't control so much!"

The old man figured out what method should be used to rob them.

"You continue to investigate, and report it to me as soon as there is any movement."

"Yes!" The guy stood up straight, then turned and left.

"It seems I can only sleep well tonight..." the old man thought, and walked out of the room.

At dawn, when the sky was not yet fully bright, a rapid knock on the door sounded outside a room on the first floor of the villa.

"Master Lu, get up quickly, it's not good!" a little boy slapped the door and shouted loudly.

The old man in the room has gotten up, he is taking care of his symmetrical upturned moustache. Hearing a rapid knock on the door, he hurriedly opened the door.

"Huh? What's wrong, so panicked early in the morning?" the old man asked.

"It's from the Shacheng side, someone is coming! It's the army, they, they also trampled on our barley seedlings..." The little boy held the old man tightly with both hands and was about to go out.

"Wait... don't panic!" The old man also felt that the matter was urgent, but he still had to understand the situation before making a decision. This is a major event that involves the lives of dozens of people here! How could he act so recklessly.

As he spoke, he took up the helmet and walked out without stopping.

"Go, you call everyone up and let Cui Zijian and the others take their weapons, but don't act rashly, just follow me from a distance. Uh, where is my horse?"

"Yeah!...Your horse is behind the house, I'll call them." The little boy ran away quickly after speaking.

On the other side of the hillside, at the foot of the mountain less than one kilometer away, a horse galloped up, and immediately sat the old man wearing a helmet. His speed didn't slow down even when he ran on the mountain road.

From a distance, I saw the army in the mouth of those little boys.

Yes, it must be a group of well-trained soldiers.

They are no more brave than the mobs and skirmishers in the wilderness, everyone is wearing a uniform costume.

Carrying a long spear capable of firing bullets on his body, several leading officers also wore short weapons, sabers on their thighs, and the scabbards leaning outwards. The officers all rode horses.

The vehicles were obviously modified vehicles. At this moment, they were parked on a piece of barley. The wheels pressed the ground into a mess, and many barley seedlings were directly crushed. This is the food grown by these people on the mountain, how can they tolerate others trampling on it like this.

After the old man saw the incoming people clearly, his speed slowed down instead. He began to organize his clothes, especially his pants. When he ran out in a hurry, his belts were not fastened.

There were already some people standing near the army, all those who had come down from the mountain, and when they saw the old man, they scrambled to surround him.

"Look, even the guards of Shacheng...can't do that!"

"That's right, ruining our only piece of land where we can grow food? These bastards!"

The old man did not speak, and ran directly to the vehicles of the Shacheng Guards.

"Stop! Don't get close anymore, I hear you!" Several guards holding weapons shouted at him.

"Don't be long-winded!" The old man said with a majestic tone, as if he ordered his subordinates to shout to the guards.

The guards were strange to say, they were stunned when they heard what he said, and watched him ride up to an officer, but no one dared to move.

The leading officer was also stunned when he saw the man immediately jumped down. Who is this man, so bold, that even Shacheng's defense forces were not in his eyes.

When the man approached, he came back to his senses: "Who are you? Get out of here now, don't hinder our exercise!"

As he said, he reached out and found out the weapon-a regulated pistol. This weapon is not something commonly seen on the Central Continent. It is a model produced in the weapon factory in Shacheng. Looking at the appearance, you know that this large-caliber and fierce gun has a very strong recoil and is made by imitating a weapon called the "Desert Eagle" of the former civilization.

This firearm, once known as the Magnum Eagle, was a widely sought after weapon in the AD century.

But because this gun has great power and recoil, and the mechanical structure is too complex to adapt to the complex and harsh battlefield environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to use it, so there is no army equipped.

However, it is said that someone once killed an elk 200 meters away with a modified sand eagle with a longer barrel, showing its amazing power.

...

The man's speed did not slow down at all, but he stepped up faster.

"Stop, stop! Or I will shoot!" the officer shouted.

But the man was already standing in front of him.

So calm, doesn't he fear death?

The officer did not shoot. He was just shocked by the man's actions. He is just a fledgling young general. He has reached this position by relying on his family background. Moreover, he has no experience in fighting, and has never even killed anyone...

The gun in his hand was trembling, just trying to frighten people.

Even if he really took out the gun, he didn't dare to shoot it-shooting at this distance, blood would definitely splash from the person under the powerful impact of this weapon, and then spray it on his face. I don't want to be like that.

His eyes were panic, and his gun hand was shaking.

The old man stepped forward and looked at him with a serious expression: "Don't you know who I am? Huh-look at my face!"

The officer was taken aback for a moment, his eyes widened, and he actually took a closer look. The muscles on his face slowly tightened, and he was thinking hard in his head. Where did he see this face?

Suddenly, there was a chill on his head, and the soldier's hat was taken off by the old man.

It was put directly on the old man's head: "Hmm! Take a look, take a good look!"

After speaking, he turned his head and his expression suddenly became strange and serious. One hand wiped his two-handed moustache on both sides of his mouth, bending it down, like a circle of beautifully trimmed lips. The beard formed the shape of "mouth", let the officer look again...

The officer squinted his eyes slightly, and quickly searched for some memories in his brain.

"Huh?...Ah! I remember. You are...that..."

The officer was obviously surprised, yes!

He remembered, and the picture of the memory was instantly extracted from the memory bank.

Somewhere in Shacheng, he saw the profile of a portrait painted on the wall, which was indeed very similar to the old man in front of him.
