How Am I Still Alive?

"Our previous generation, about thirty or forty years ago, was not like this."

The background is still the volcanic area. Since it has been decided to "sell" it to the fire-loving red dwarfs, this area must naturally be preserved.

The secret service teams also started their work according to the order.

Some of them are exterminating the newly added monsters. The priests of the red dwarves have already been contacted, but it will take a week at the fastest to arrive. During this period, a certain "maintenance cost" is required.

For Lu Pingan, this is a good thing. In the volcano, a red beast egg is still absorbing nutrients and heat and hatching.

Give it more nutrition and time and it should become more whole.

Part of the secret service team went back to sleep. The first team and the fourth team both took a short rest after completing three days of continuous rotation, and then went to the battlefield again. Now they have reached the limit and it is time to relax.

The battlefield here is left to the fifth team and the third team. It's just that the relationship between the two teams is a bit embarrassing, mainly because the fifth team is not very proud now.

But work still needs to be done. Before the reinforcements from the "gods" arrive, the regular cleanup must be done well. Compared with the previous slamming, the pressure has actually been greatly reduced.

For some reason, the strength of the newly born monsters has also weakened significantly. Even the temperature and sense of alienation in this foreign land are obviously not as strong as before.

The reason for this is intriguing, but it is naturally a good thing for those on duty.

A blockade was established on the outside, and regular processing was carried out inside. The only thing worth mentioning is that before the first and fourth teams evacuated, several teams united to clean up the fourth and fifth floors of the shopping mall.

Then, they went to do what they should do with tired faces.

Only the full-time captain Lu Jun not only didn't leave, but also talked with Lu Ping'an energetically.

Looking at the volcano that seemed to be sleeping, he seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past, and talked to Lu Pingan about the past.

".My previous generation, at that time the mystery was still in the shadows, and we keepers of secrets were real secret walkers. Everyone actually envied the ordinary people in the light, who could live a comfortable and carefree life."

Lu Jun's pupils seem to have traveled through time and the past.

In the old days when he was a child, the connection between the gods and the mortal world was not as close as it is now, and all kinds of weird creatures and supernatural phenomena were out of the public eye.

A night watchman who secretly guards the safety of the public? Heh, it's just some unlucky people who lost their daily life due to accidents.

Life has entered a countdown. In order to continue life, one must enter a higher level, one must step into this extremely dangerous and dark world, and exchange military exploits for higher-level knowledge and resources.

Perhaps, he also saved a lot of people along the way.

But there are some things that you can't stop doing.

"It's already a bad life, at least it works from the beginning"

My father, uncle, and grandfather all came here in this way, counting the days and suffering the years.

It's just that, sometimes when we're struggling, what we want most is still...

".Many people even curse their own destiny, cursing why they are themselves and why other people can live like human beings, but what they desire most is to be known about the achievements of their predecessors and remember the sacrifices of their companions instead of falling down At that time, there was not even a place to bury the corpse."

Lu Jun looked at Lu Ping'an, and it was a smiling but indifferent face. This young man didn't pretend to be panicked, didn't express his loyalty, and didn't even listen to him.

Lu Jun smiled, the times are really different, young people in the new era have their own ideas.

".When I first became a secret keeper, the times were different. At that time, many secrets had been forced to be disclosed. The personnel at the bureau level basically knew about pollution and occupations. The increasing pressure of handling day and night made the gods The power of the church has increased crazily, and the so-called righteous god access system was also established at that time, by the way, there is also the special service team system."

Originally under the shadow of the blade, each independent hunting organization began to gradually step up to the front line, forming a special service police system directly under the government.

There is no other reason, and it is exactly the same as now, just because the original "manpower reserve" is not enough, and the staff needs to be expanded to deal with more and more supernatural cases.

". Now, it is obvious that there is another round of expansion. The army and large groups are pulling in various large-scale foreign lands and fronts. Even in relatively safe cities, the official force of 'police' is not enough. Perhaps, next A large number of civilian forces will be mobilized, so what is it? The era of the Great Militia? Or the era of Superman of the whole people?"

Lu Jun's words were full of self-deprecation, what is this? In order to avoid polluting the expansion of knowledge, my grandparents and fathers did a lot of things to keep secrets and even kill people, so now I teach them directly?

For the purpose, it is full of strange and unacceptable new gadgets, put it in my grandfather, when I was young, let alien gods settle in the urban area? For a crime against humanity, direct death is a light sentence.

Now, what used to be regarded as a felony is regarded as a daily routine. Although it is not incomprehensible, I always feel uncomfortable in all aspects, very uncomfortable.

Is my party a remnant of the old era, or a stepping stone of the new era?

In the end, all exclamations can only be turned into one sentence.

"Times have changed."

Other people are not blind to what Lu Pingan sees, hears and thinks, so they naturally have their own plans.

Lu Ping'an smiled, but he felt a little impatient in his heart. My time is very precious, and I don't want to listen to you.

what's next Moral education or patriotism?

"Do you think I told you this because I want you to work hard, work hard, and fight to protect your family and country? Ha ha."

isn't it? Lu Ping'an was a little surprised by Lu Jun's sudden smile.

"No, I'm just saying that in the torrent of the times, we are nothing. We are just a special service team. In the final analysis, we are just a member of the 'law and order' force. Catching supernatural criminals is our limit. Want to do bigger Naturally, there will be a stronger organization and a bigger stage to welcome you."

Lu Jun was very calm. There was a reason for him to talk to Lu Pingan in private. Whether it was the information that was so confidential that the deputy director of the local Bureau of Abnormalities could not access it, and the potential that the young man showed now, he was sure of it.

".You will definitely have a bigger stage in the future, but now, you are a policeman, and law and order is your job. So, as long as it is for the sake of order within the scope of work, you can just do it."

This can't be said too clearly, but Lu Pingan understands.

What can provide order? strength.

What is power? Stronger equipment and more human resources mean that such taboo things as "arms smuggling" and "private hoarding of arsenals" will be fully protected by him.

If the red dwarf's arsenal was really established in Zion District, several special service teams in the entire Zion District would be fully bound to it at this time.

As a protector of order, Lu Jun did not try to suppress the ambition of young people, nor did he try to find out the secrets that young people must hide.

"Your previous performance has proved your position, which is enough. There will definitely be a lot of pressure on what you are going to do next, and I will help you. But you have to promise that as long as you are still on the job, Just do your 'security' work. We are short, very short."

After speaking, he seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he also squeezed out a smile.

"You are still young, don't think too far, and don't only see negative things like us old people. We are all locals, and we are still unlucky bastards who hug each other to keep warm. We will naturally protect each other when we can. Our strength It's limited, and being able to keep a place safe is already the limit. If you are really capable, there will naturally be a bigger stage in the future, and you will really develop by then, if you remember the little love in the initial stage."

He was silent for a moment, and added a sentence.

"...Don't forget to help the villagers get a few more boat tickets."
