Not finished yet, wait a moment
After entering April, the temperature rose significantly. The snow in the capital base that hadn't melted all winter finally showed signs of thawing.
April 3rd was a full year before the outbreak of the virus. For several days before and after this, there was an atmosphere of sadness that was difficult to dispel in the base.
In this year, human beings have lost too many things. The total population of the entire Huaguo has dropped from 1.5 billion to less than 400 million today. The order has collapsed, technology has reversed, and civilization has been destroyed. For all survivors, 2019 The nightmarish day of April 3rd is still clearly engraved in my mind, but the peaceful life before that is like words written on the beach, fading rapidly with the tide.
At nine o'clock in the morning on April 3, the memorial wall for the dead under the supervision of the management of the base was officially completed and unveiled in the northwest of the base. A 120-meter-long, four-meter-high black granite stele stands on the ground after the snow melts. On the green grass, the names of all the dead that can be remembered by the more than 6 million survivors in the base are engraved on it.
Holding flowers in their hands, Shen Shi'an and others took Tong Tong to find the names of Fan Guoping and his wife Xu Shiya in the middle of the stele about one meter high. After these two names were Xu Ge's younger sister Xu Yao and Chen Nan's younger brother Chen Nan. Jiamu, Liu Fangzhou's mother, Tao Yuan's comrade-in-arms, Xiong Manshan's family, Lu Xiuyuan's parents... and many strange ones who have passed away long ago, but survived in another way because of the memory and longing of the survivors people.
Tongtong was holding the family photo entrusted to Shen Shi'an by Fan Guoping and returned to her by Shen Shi'an in her hand. Tears fell on the photo, and she wiped it clean carefully with sobs.
"Dad, Mom," the girl's eyes were red, and she looked at the parents in the photo and tried to control her emotions: "Don't worry, I'm doing well, the captain is very good to me, sister Xu Ge is also very good to me, brother Fang Zhou , Brother Chen Nan, Brother Lin Ruan... They all treat me very well. I can eat enough every day, attend classes, learn to draw, and raise a lion cub. I, I... "
She hugged the photo into her arms, tears rolling down uncontrollably: "I miss you so much!"
Xu Ge broke down in tears, opened his arms and hugged Tongtong tightly into his arms, Xiong Manshan stood up from the stone tablet, turned his head and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. Most of the others also had red eyes.
Shen Shi'an put the flowers in front of the stele, and Shen Xun stood beside him.
After a long time, he said softly: "Let's go, go home."
For Shen Shi'an, apart from going to the stele to commemorate the deceased on April 3rd, another important event also happened.
When he celebrated his birthday in late March, Hulang Tuantuan sent him a greeting card, which stated that he had prepared a big gift for him, but it would take more than ten days for Shen Shi'an to receive it.
Shen Shi'an didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking it was Xiao Lang's prank, or just playing tricks, so he didn't take it to heart.
Then shortly after returning to the villa from the monument, he suddenly received a message on his identity bracelet, and he was stunned for three seconds after reading it.
Shen Xun immediately noticed his strangeness, flicked his tail and rubbed over: "What's the matter An'an? Who sent you the message?"
"The union of supernatural beings." Shen Shi'an looked a little strange, and glanced at his teammates: "The union of supernatural beings sent me an invitation letter, inviting me to be one of the thirteen members of the union."
The management of the capital base can be divided into three categories in terms of historical components: one is the old family forces like the Gu family, which belonged to one of the main power forces before the end of the world, relying on the deep foundation laid before the end of the world And the huge power, quickly grasped the right to speak after the outbreak of the virus. In addition to the Gu family, the representative roles include the Huang family and the Han family. The main feature is that they are deeply rooted in the army and have a high prestige;
The other type is a rising family force like the Qin family. Before the apocalypse, the wealth was sufficient but the power was not obvious. After the apocalypse, relying on sufficient supplies to catch up from behind, they successfully occupied a place in the new power system. The main character is rich, but now restricted by the pheromones of Gu Jia and Li Ren, he is bleeding every day.
As for the last category, it is the union of supernatural beings, a special emerging organization that was completely created by the current situation and was born precisely because of the end of the world. As long as you are a supernatural being, you can become a member of the trade union no matter in the name of an individual or an organization.
Compared with the operation method of family forces with the head of the family as the main decision-maker, the power distribution of the union of supernatural beings is somewhat special: it is not a one-man speech, but is selected from the members of the union through democratic elections. As the power representative of the trade union, the thirteen councilors follow the principle of "the minority obeys the majority" in all matters and jointly make decisions and manage them.
The thirteen councilors said it was a democratic election, but in fact they were fighting for the size and strength of the major supernatural organizations. Therefore, almost every councilor was the leader of a well-known supernatural organization in the base, such as Zheng Gang, the leader of the Flying Dragon Group. , Another example is Xiao Lang, the head of the Tiger Wolf regiment.
It is true that Sharp Blade has strong strength and fast development, but after all, its foundation is still shallow, and it failed to participate in the most difficult initial construction process of the capital base. It has a reputation but lacks prestige. It is really unexpected that the supernatural union will extend an olive branch to Shen Shi'an.
The team members gathered around after hearing the words:
"A message from the supernatural union? Inviting Brother Shen to join the Thirteenth Councilor??"
"Fuck, it's real!"
"If it's true, doesn't that mean that we are about to enter management?"
"Ruan Ruan, is there a way to confirm the authenticity of this news?"
Lin Ruan took Shen Shi'an's identity bracelet and checked it, "The IP address is fine, and the domain name and sender also look real—but there is no way to completely rule out the possibility that it is a prank by hackers. Go to the computer and check it again?"
His proposal was not implemented, because when everyone was discussing this news, Xiao Lang, one of the thirteen councilors of the Abyss Union, came, and he did not empty his hands, except for a large package to bring to Shen In addition to the beef jerky that I was looking for, there are also paper-based invitation letters and appointment letters officially issued by the supernatural beings.
In Shen Shi'an's private study room, he didn't show any extra politeness, and after Xiao Lang sat down on the sofa, he went straight to the topic: "What's going on?"
Xiao Lang didn't see him either, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and then idly put his legs up: "Why is the tea prepared today? Do you still have the ice cream coffee from last time? It's a bit sweet, but Not to mention it’s quite delicious, drinking a cup will keep you energetic all day long, where did you find this kind of good stuff? The stuffing bar is soft, sweet and not greasy, and it can be pulled out. I don’t know how you do it. I went back and asked the chef to try it hundreds of times, but I couldn’t make it half delicious. Is there a secret? Recipe Do you have it? Would you like me to have one?... "
Chatting and gossiping about him, he just didn't get to the point, and made it clear that he wanted to hang Shen Shi'an on purpose.
Shen Shi'an sneered, took out a special horn comb from under the coffee table, and began to comb the dog's hair slowly and methodically.
Xiao Lang held the teacup with his left leg crossed over his right leg and sipped for a long time. After sipping the cup of tea to the end, he didn't wait for the scene he expected. Instead, he was choked by the dog hair and sneezed three times in a row. He quickly covered his nose with a tissue : "Hey you, why don't you continue to ask? You can just ask about such a big thing as being hired as a member of the thirteen councilors? What I have in my hand is the letter of appointment, the letter of appointment! Getting it means that you are also a member of the management team. You’re already a member of the serious class in power, don’t you want to look at it? Why don’t you have to be diligent and careful, speak loudly and ask the bottom line?”
Shen Shi'an glanced at him coldly: "Are you okay? Nothing to see off the guests. It's getting late, we should have dinner."
Xiao Lang sniffed the aroma coming in from the door through a paper towel, it seemed to be pork ribs and braised pork, cursed in his heart, put the letter of appointment and appointment into Shen Shi'an's hands, and said embarrassingly: "You man It's really boring, I can't help being funny." Leng Yan, arrogant and handsome, how come he is a man, you say.
Shen Shi'an checked the two documents carefully, and they were indeed official documents issued by the supernatural union.
Rao is much calmer than ordinary people, so he couldn't help being a little excited at this time.
Becoming one of the thirteen councilors is undoubtedly a great affirmation of both Li Ren and his personal strength, and it is of great significance for Li Ren's future development to set foot in the management of the capital base and become one of them.
Feeling better, he even looked at Xiao Lang with ease, and repeated the question he asked before: "What's going on?"
"What else could be going on? I won you a seat as one of the thirteen members of the thirteen councilors. Are you moved? Surprised or not?"
Shen Shi'an looked at him and said nothing. Shen Xun bared his teeth at the right time.
Xiao Lang felt a pain in his buttocks, and immediately corrected his expression: "It's like this, you know that the supernatural union has always been managed by thirteen members, right? In mid-March, one of the former thirteen members, the head of the Eagle Group, If you sacrificed in the mission, one seat will be vacant. It just so happens that your birthday is coming soon. I think the two of us have a life-long friendship. Anyway, we have to re-elect someone. We already have me in the tiger wolf group It’s impossible to keep stuffing it in, and if the fat doesn’t flow to outsiders, it’s better to give you the seat. Isn’t this going to nominate you at an internal meeting, and the nomination just happened to pass.”
Xiao Lang said it as if this matter was easy to handle, but Shen Shi'an knew it was not the case.
The union of supernatural beings has a system of thirteen councilors. The thirteen decision-makers are inextricably linked to the four major families. The thirteen councilors are actually the reflection of the power of the four major families in the supernatural being organization. They are independent and mutually restraining, all decisions must be voted through, and the appointment of new councilors requires more than two-thirds of the approval rate—this means that in addition to Xiao Lang's own vote, he has to get at least seven councilors together stand in line.
Shen Shi'an thought that he did not have such a high personality and social skills that people who had never dealt with him voted for him. Therefore, it was all due to Xiao Lang's connections and strength that he could finally pass.
He looked at Xiao Lang and said solemnly: "Thank you. I will remember this favor."
As soon as he was polite, Xiao Lang felt a little uncomfortable, and waved his hands again and again: "Oh, it's not a big deal, it didn't take much effort, needless to say about your personal strength, the sharp blade has a strong development momentum, you can convince everyone even if you sit on this person. I'm not telling you the truth, there is a vacant position this time, the Huang family and the Qin family are interested in it, and they have to nominate the forces that have good relations with them. Among them, the Qin family has more momentum One point, so this seat was originally going to fall into their hands. But the Huang family and the Qin family, as the two largest shareholders of the livestock farm, lost a lot because of the disaster in the livestock farm a few years ago. You blame me, I blame you, just happened to break up Seeing that my family can't get any money anyway, the Huang family simply sold me a good deal and gave you all the tickets. Do you know what this is called, it's called luck, and you can't stop it!"
