There were heavy casualties. I limped and pretended to find a fallen elm tree and squatted against it, watching a large number of people struggling to clean up the scene. It must be tragic. The death toll alone exceeded forty people. Those who were injured still had no expression, and they didn't know how they were trained.
Soon a large number of people arrived to receive the injured and collect the bodies of the deceased. This section of the road was basically destroyed, and someone contacted the engineering team to come over for repairs. The surrounding area was still very quiet. There were no unexpected intruders except the Liu family. It was obvious that the surrounding area had been completely sealed off.
I followed Liu Yangyang and took a private aircraft to the Liu family¡¯s estate. Hanzhong is one of the countries with the strictest aviation regulations, and the Liu family's privileges are evident.
? ?Everyone is very sad, especially me. If Althea hadn't been in my body, I probably wouldn't have attracted such a powerful enemy. This quick and nerve-wracking battle felt really bad. Even if we summoned some courage, Liu Yangyang and I still fell into deep fear.
Recalling how terrifying the children of the evil god were, I no longer feel like imagining how humble human beings are to those gods.
Seeing that my expression was not good, Liu Yangyang didn¡¯t say anything funny this time, but he just leaned on the seat with a melancholy look on his face. In our field of vision, the earth was broken as if it had been stepped on by a giant. No matter who saw this scene, they would feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
After all, we are not the real masters of this world.
After a period of flight, I saw the position guided by the indicator light below, and the aircraft slowly fell. Liu Yangyang then began to explain to me: "This is the place where the family makes decisions. It is usually very tightly guarded, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter. Even flying in the air is prohibited."
"It's a great privilege." I sighed. Looking around, those world-class luxury resorts are nothing more than this.
"Those who receive privileges must fulfill corresponding responsibilities." Liu Yangyang smiled sarcastically, his smile unnatural.
There are many people at the end of the long corridor welcoming our arrival, not only because of my special status, but also because of the fierce battle just now. Even if my performance is not admirable enough, it is enough for them to have a different understanding of me.
Liu Yangyang began to introduce me to the people who welcomed me. These people are all big shots, including the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, the director of the Press and Publication Department, the chairman of a certain group, and important figures in the financial system. Of course, the status of these people in the Liu family should not be particularly high, otherwise they would not be sent to greet me. Among them all, the one I noticed the most was an old man with flowing white hair. He was dressed slovenly and had a shabby look on his face. Da Aili is somewhat similar in appearance to Liu Yangyang.
"This is my father." Liu Yangyang introduced solemnly, "Liu Jian, the leader of the expert group for historical research in the old era."
I quickly went over to shake hands with Liu Jian and praised Liu Yangyang: "Your son is really a role model for a wanderer."
Liu Jian was also very excited to see his son return safe and sound. He shook hands with me and hummed slightly without saying anything else. I know that most people who do research have some quirks, but I don¡¯t care.
What follows is another lengthy introduction and meeting. Although I can remember everyone¡¯s name and characteristics, I still feel very bored. The Liu family's attitude towards me is not very good. Some people's contempt is written on their faces. I don't care, and neither does Liu Yangyang. Just now, we completed a side-by-side battle that completely changed our relationship, and we didn't care much about the little things that come between people.
The people of the Liu family had nothing new to say. After greeting each other, many people left first, including Liu Yangyang's father. He just asked Liu Yangyang to arrange a room for me first. It seemed that he planned to have the dinner and the meeting in parallel. I didn't refuse. Although I was a little worried about Teng Qiuyan and Xiao Yu, I still had to waste some time here. After all, the Liu family had given me enough help.
Those who greeted me all dispersed, saying nothing except some polite words. I guess I was disapproving of it in my heart, thinking that it was shameful to welcome a young kid like me.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of favor, I don't really care about these things. The buildings in the villa complex are all luxurious and look old. There are not many staff members coming and going. Liu Yangyang and I just sit in the living room drinking and chatting. From time to time, someone comes over to show Liu Yangyang something. It should be the battle just now. various reports.
Liu Yangyang is calmer than I thought, and has no lingering fear after his first battle with the gods. He lowered his head and kept eating snacks and drinking water, while his eyes never left the detailed post-war reports.
I was sitting in the luxurious living room, acting very calm, but actually I felt a little sad.
Liu Yangyang has eaten enough and is still watching the battleFinally, I summarized and wrote a few words from time to time. I finally couldn't help but ask him the most important question: "How many people died?"
Liu Yangyang stopped writing and turned to look at me with a fragile expression.
"No matter how many people die, we still have to go on the road."
"How many people are there?" I was stubborn.
Liu Yangyang paused and reported a number: "Eighty-three people."
I closed my eyes, not knowing what to think.
"This is a necessary sacrifice." Liu Yangyang actually comforted me, "No matter what, the ideals that human beings are going to realize must go through these cruel trials, and we cannot avoid it."
I was silent, and then thought of another question: "Are those people trained by your family?"
"There are all six major families." Liu Yangyang did not hide it. "They are all trained for the government and are found in all countries. We call these people 'God-killers'. Unlike the Wanderers, they will never be disclosed to the public. .¡±
"A large number?" I imagined those people with cold eyes. They had no emotional fluctuations when facing the enemy, facing death or facing anything. They were more qualified warriors than me.
Liu Yangyang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Much."
"What kind of weapon is it?" I continued to ask shamelessly, "It seems to be quite effective."
Liu Yangyang was embarrassed, but still answered me: "The weapon under development uses electronic resonance to produce a light curtain that suppresses the power of the gods. The effect is actually average, mainly due to the short maintenance time. It is still under development."
"Is it okay to talk about these topics? Are you not afraid of leaking secrets?"
"You should know more secrets than me, what should I be afraid of?" Liu Yangyang corrected his attitude and simply made a generous expression, "You can know these things by asking Minister Zhang. When I say it now, it will show how candid I am. ah."
I couldn¡¯t help but smile, but the smile was not flattering: ¡°Don¡¯t do this to me, you are at home now, be serious.¡±
Liu Yangyang turned to the last page of the entire battle statistics report, lowered his head and began to write his own opinions. While writing, he said: "You still don't know your own energy? Today, the old man wants to see you. Didn't you look at my dad and my uncles?" Don¡¯t you dare to say a word when I see you?¡±
After hearing what Liu Yangyang said, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. I thought I was chatting with Liu Yangyang's father, but I didn't expect that it was the leader of the Liu family who wanted to meet me. The head of the Liu family is no longer engaged in public office. To put it simply, he is a consultant to the country's highest authority. This vague identity is actually more in line with the current high level of political games - at least half of the people who serve are serving people. When it comes to part-time work, the old guys who really have the final say sit back and don¡¯t show up.
But I was stunned for a moment, and I quickly calmed down and corrected my mentality.
"A little surprised, but okay." I said to Liu Yangyang, "Do you mind if I read the report?"
"Of course not." Liu Yangyang handed me the summary of the battle, "Now that you represent the Wanderer Association, there will probably be an internal small-scale award ceremony. This is one of the few contacts we have with the Gods."
I frowned: "When did the training of this god-killer begin? Although I guessed a little, I still feel a little scared when I really know it."
Liu Yangyang had no choice but to take off his clothes: "I really can't tell you too much about this. You can ask our old man directly later. My dad still wants to talk to you alone, but he has to come after the old man."
Mr. Liu is already the supreme power for most people in this country. His status is so high that many people no longer know his true name, so he can only be called Mr. Liu respectfully. If such a person wanted to see me, of course I, the junior, would wait in the living room until I had finished reading the summary of the battle on my hand. Then someone came to greet me and asked me to go to the villa at the foot of the mountain not far away to meet Mr. Liu. .
The battle summary is written in great detail, including speculation on the magic of the Holy Priest, research on fighting styles, comparison of power with weapons and Wanderers in today's world, the duration of personal power, the effects of various weapons on the Holy Priest all kinds of things I wrote dozens of articles, including quite a few about me. In this battle summary, my strength rating was modified by Liu Yangyang, from special level to ordinary. I know this is the Liu family's attempt to cover up. In fact, even without this battle, the unpleasantness with the Wanderer Association was enough to make some people look at me differently.
Liu Yangyang is extremely honest when he returns home, without the lively and ridiculous face outside. Of course, Liu Yangyang, who has just experienced a life-and-death struggle, is also qualified to be serious. After handing over the battle summary, Liu Yangyang actually followed me to the back house.
Along the way, I "encountered" many of Liu Yangyang's relatives. These people either nodded, were enthusiastic, or were indifferent and disdainful. I dealt with it calmly. Anyway, it was just a sentence or two, a greeting. As a result, I arrived at the residence where Mr. Liu rested and lived at least twenty minutes later than expected. .
