"Didi!"
Li Yao seemed to respond to the calls of the two little guys.
The indicator light flashed rapidly, and the chain saw originally used to trim flowers and grass was waved lightly.
"Very good!"
Hunter geared up and said with full confidence, "I was opened up by the super strong electric arc and the eight extraordinary meridians were opened.
My cultivation level is gradually recovering, and I got this mysterious psychic puppet 'Demon Star'.
These are all great good omens." , Master, don’t worry, this ‘God-given Ceremony’ will be fine, we will still come back with a full harvest like in previous years!”
Gu Zhengyang's smile dimmed, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly exhaled a breath and said: "Regarding this 'God-given Ceremony', I have handed over the command to Captain Zhao, and he will be fully responsible."
"What!"
The two little guys were stunned at the same time.
Han Te said anxiously, "Master, how can you hand over the command to Zhao Lie?
Everyone knows that he is ambitious and always wants to seize power and replace you!
Now Zhao Lie Lie already has a class in the village The gang members who are so determined are becoming more and more powerful day by day.
If even such an important task as the 'God-given Ceremony' is given to him, he will definitely take the opportunity to gather power, win people's hearts, weaken your strength, and finally ride on our necks. !”
"That's right, Dad."
Liuli also said worriedly, "The conflict between Uncle Zhao Lie and you is becoming more and more intense day by day.
Just now outside, Zhao Chong deliberately made trouble for our senior brother and wrongfully accused us of hiding supplies.
It is simply abominable."
"I know that Master has always been kind-hearted and puts the overall situation first."
Hunter gritted his teeth and said, "But if we give in blindly at this time, others will only think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they will get more aggressive and ride on our heads to show off their power!"
Gu Zhengyang coughed lightly and said: "You should know that I am not a person who is keen on power, not to mention that I am just the head of a large village with a few thousand people, and I can't say I have any 'power'.
Zhao If Lie wants it, just take it."
"How about that?"
The two little guys were anxious.
Hunter's eyes widened and he said, "Master, this is not a matter between the village chief and the village chief.
Haven't you always disagreed with Zhao Lie's ideas?
You think he is too ruthless and aggressive, and will only Did he bring disaster to Taiping City?
If he really becomes the village chief, Taiping City will become a big gang, and there will be wars within a few hundred miles, and there will never be peace!
" "Yes, Dad, your illness is only temporary, you should..."
Liuli glanced at Li Yao and said with great certainty, "It will get better!"
"This has nothing to do with my illness."
Gu Zhengyang showed a frustrated expression, gently stroking the golden tassels, and sighed, "It's been four years since your mother left, Liuli."
Liuli was slightly startled, not understanding what her father meant.
"Your mother is a very innocent woman.
When I first met her, she was only about the same age as you."
Gu Zhengyang sat down on the field ridge, sniffing the fragrance of the ears, and fell into distant memories, "At that time, I had just fallen from the sky, my mind went blank, and I lost all memories of the past.
I only remember that I used a lot of them to kill people." and magical powers of destruction, those things were like big whirlpools, spinning crazily in my mind, turning me into a confused and overwhelmed beast.
"At that time, Taiping Walled City only had one iron-hulled ship and several hundred people.
It was far smaller than it is today.
Even the greenhouse we are in now is just a small corner with a few crooked plants planted there. , a plant like a reed stick.
"At that time, I had been wandering around the ruined city for several months like a lonely ghost.
The whole world I saw was all darkness, blood, killing, betrayal and destruction.
Occasionally, I could see people in the gaps and cracks in the ruins.
Several plants were found in the dark corners.
They were either covered with smelly poisonous vines or could emit super acidic corrosive liquid.

However, they had never seen anything so vibrant and full of hope.
“When I saw that handful of golden plants, I was stunned and asked the little girl who was carefully serving it what it was.
"She told me that it was 'golden barley', a kind of 'crop', a treasure that could save the entire evil land and prevent all the sinful people in the evil land from fighting to the death all day long.
"She said that it is precisely because the land on the evil soil is barren and barren, and people have no clothes and no food to eat.
They can only rely on the sky rails to throw relief supplies down.
In order to compete for the relief supplies and the slim hope of survival, they There will be endless disputes all day long, turning from humans into beasts.
"If there were a kind of crop that could thrive in the barren land full of pollution and radiation, so that everyone could have enough to eat, then we wouldn't have to wait for relief from the sky rails to survive, and there would be no need to be hostile to each other. , wary of each other, biting and gnawing at each other like hungry wild dogs!”
Hunter and Liuli were fascinated by what they heard and couldn't help but hold each other's hands.
There were crystal tears in Liuli's eyes, and she said softly: "My mother is right.
If golden barley could really be planted all over the land and turn the barren land into golden fields, then there would be no disputes, no bloodshed, and no mutual exchanges.
Fighting, there are no gangs and thugs like beasts, and even we ourselves... don’t have to turn into beasts. " Gu Zhengyang grinned, a smile that was both gentle and bitter, and murmured: "Yes, she is right, she is obviously an innocent and weak little girl, but when she said these words, her eyes looked like The hidden sword made me, an adventurer who had been wandering around the ruined city for several months, dare not look directly into her eyes.
"I was seduced by the scenes she described, so I stayed and transformed the Taiping Walled City from one large iron-hulled ship into fifteen.
Together with her, I opened up the greenhouse from a small corner at the stern of the cabin to the one it occupies today.
Even before she left, I held her hand and swore that one day, I would plant golden barley all over the evil soil!
"But, but now, I am increasingly doubting whether the picture we longed for can really be realized one day."
Gu Zhengyang inserted his fingers into his hair, groaning in pain as if his back was weighed down by the burden of life.
"Master, everything is getting better.
We will definitely realize Master's dream and plant golden barley all over the land!"
Hunter clenched his fists and raised his voice, "Don't give up hope!"
"But I... really don't see where the hope is."
Gu Zhengyang said gloomily, "In the past few decades, I have been cultivating crazily in order to protect the Taiping Walled City.
I have been fighting everywhere and accumulated countless hidden wounds.
This time, they suddenly broke out and made me seriously ill.
It is something that has been foreseen for a long time, and I am very satisfied that I can hold on until today.
"But the sixty-third transplantation of golden barley still failed.
This has been carefully selected by your wife and I.
The crops that are most resistant to drought, radiation and pollution still cannot survive in the radiation zone outside, even if they just escape.
Within the scope of a village, the output is frighteningly low and cannot satisfy the appetite of an ordinary person.
"There are also all kinds of damn radioactive mutant beasts coming to harass and destroy the experimental field we have worked so hard to establish, and we have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to resist.
After all, we can't settle this debt no matter what.
"So, when I was so sick that I looked at the rusty ceiling, I always wondered whether this path between me and your wife would work?
Can we really plant golden barley all over the place?
Am I really right to calm down all the disputes in this evil land?
Or is Zhao Lie's choice the wisest and most correct?
" "dad!"
"Master!"
The two little guys became more and more anxious.
One of them took one of Gu Zhengyang's arms, desperately trying to transmit his young and hot power to the middle-aged man with a sickly and lonely face.
"Of course you are right, please don't Don’t be discouraged and try ten, a hundred, or a thousand times.
One day, we will succeed!”
"But we are running out of supplies and time."
Gu Zhengyang said coldly, "Zhao Lie is right about one thing.
Today's Taiping Walled City has reached its expansion limit and is in a very embarrassing situation.
"The calm and rapid development in the past ten or twenty years has caused the population of Taiping Walled City to increase twenty to thirty times.
In addition to adults who come from all directions to seek refuge, there are also many children born in the village.

Every additional person , just one more mouthful of bottomless pit that can never be filled.
"No matter how hard we explore and plunder, the supplies in the warehouse will never be enough.
Even if we can grab enough supplies at the 'God-given Ceremony' this year, it is not a long-term solution.
I really don't know what will happen in the next three years.
In five or more than ten years, if the population of the village doubles again, even if it only increases by 50%, how will our Taiping Walled City be able to sustain it?
We won’t need others to attack us, and we will fall apart first and internally.
The fight never ends."
The two little guys were silent.
Hunter held it in for a long time and said: "As long as the master can recover quickly and regain his former strength, there will be no problem at all!"
"Silly boy."
Gu Zhengyang stretched out his rough hands, rubbed Hunter's hair, and said with a wry smile, "Master is old after all, and cannot protect Taiping City forever.
Even if I can still stand up, Taiping City can always follow my instructions.
The rules are working, but when I fall down one day, will Taiping Walled City instantly become like other villages, or even like the gangsters in the 'Blood War World'?
“When I think about such a scene, it breaks my heart and I can’t sleep at night.
"If this is the inevitable outcome, then it is better for me to discuss the village's solution with Zhao Lie while I still have some strength, and each of us can take a step back and formulate some rules that both of us can reluctantly accept.
"As for the more distant future, it depends on you, Liuli, and the new generation like you to work hard!"
