Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 265 Trading with the Devil

"When the people in Qingcheng Town go back, I will leave here too."

"Oh." Jun Song didn't know what to say, and finally chose to sit next to Tang Yan.

At this time, the cook lying on the table moved, and raised his head after a few breaths.

"Hey, you guys... are you awake?" He had been standing guard in the hall after Tang Yan and Jun Song fell asleep last night, and couldn't help but fall asleep until dawn.

Tang Yan nodded: "Well, we can leave after breakfast."

The cook rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked in the direction of the pink heaven and sighed.He chased him from Gem City to Yuan City, and yesterday he came to Langya settlement, but Xiaohong was like a ghost and refused to go back with him.

There is obviously a better life, but they choose to live in Goulan.

Is dignity so important?Could a place like Pink Paradise give her dignity?

The expression on his face was a little sad.

Tang Yan took out the obsidian lighter that came with him last night from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a big drag.

Juniper noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit gloomy, so he stood up and walked to the kitchen: "I'm going to prepare breakfast."

"I'll do it." The cook stopped the young man and said, "I'm also the chef of the Pandaren Legion, so I have to show off my skills."

At this time, Jun Song's father lifted the green curtain hanging at the door and walked out of another room.

"You are a guest, how can I let you do it."

Tang Yan said: "Let him do it."

Juniper's father gave him a look, but did not insist.

………………

A plate of salted radish, two pieces of pickled cabbage, half a drawer of steamed bread, four bowls of corn batter, a very ordinary meal.

Tang Yan ate very happily, maybe because his worries were settled, or maybe because he had a good sleep and relieved his fatigue.

After breakfast, he bid farewell to the Du family father and son with General Wang, and left Langya settlement in that modified pickup truck.

Logically speaking, they should meet Zhao Guangren before leaving, but considering the dead face and copper bell eyes that they may face, Tang Yan thinks it's better not to see each other.

After using the communication device to get in touch with Zangfeng, the two sides met 3 kilometers south of the ruins of Langya City, and then went east all the way to a place near Qingcheng Town.

In the afternoon, military vehicles from Langya settlement arrived in Qingcheng Town. People arrested by the city defense army got off the vehicles one after another and returned to their houses.

After the officers and soldiers on duty left, Tang Yan appeared outside the gate of the village with Wei Qianshou.

The guard's first reaction when he saw him was to shout "Haisheng".

He knew that this was what the residents of Qingcheng Town called the postman, because the mayor found him on the beach, and judging from the situation at the time, he should have floated over with a piece of wood in his arms.

In view of the fact that he drifted here in a sea full of ferocious beasts and excessive radiation, and survived tenaciously, everyone gave him the name "Haisheng" after losing his memory. It did not mean that he was born at sea.

After learning that he was back, many townspeople dropped their work and gathered around him, asking questions and chatting here and there.

Although he is a postman, he often leaves Qingcheng Town to deliver letters and packages to surrounding areas, but he has never returned for more than three months.

Many people thought he was dead. After all, death is a very common thing in the wasteland world. Yiyi's grandmother even suggested that a tomb be built for him.

They did not expect that at the end of spring, the man who walked on the road in the cold air would come back again.

Tang Yan found a touch of kindness in these people, but the enthusiasm for treating wanderers made him feel like he was about to suffocate.

Fortunately, the mayor arrived in time and took him and Wei Qianshou to the most eye-catching red house in the town, finally relieving him.

After the usual greetings and half a cup of tea, Tang Yan told the mayor that the reason they were able to regain their freedom was because he made a deal with two officials from the Internal Affairs Department of the City Defense Army.

He thought that the old man who was getting more and more bald would be surprised and asked him how he did it.

The fact is that there is no... The old man accepted his words calmly and then said something.

After hearing these words, Tang Yan finally understood why the mayor didn't doubt what was said above.

Just over a month ago, several people wearing power armor came to Qingcheng Town. They found the mayor, showed him a photo, and asked him several questions about the person in the photo.

That person is none other than him.

The mayor didn't know the origin of the person wearing the power armor, but from their conversation, he knew that the person in the photo was the vice-head Tang of the famous Pandaren Legion in the peninsula.

Haisheng, a young man from Qingcheng Town who was obviously affiliated with the MRT Consortium and made a living by delivering letters and packages, became Tang Yan and became the deputy leader of the Pandaren Legion.

He thought those people were mistaken.

It was only today, after listening to Tang Yan's words, that I was convinced that those people did not lie to him.

Tang Yan did not expect the mayor to have such an experience, but thinking about it carefully, it is quite normal.He is a postman, he travels around all day long, communicates with different people, and contacts with different people. Now that he has become the deputy commander of the Pandaren Legion, he will definitely be recognized by people after he has made a career in the peninsula. The former identity of the body.

This is still a devastating blow to the mainland-wide communication network after the nuclear war. If it was put into the period before the nuclear war, and today a big news was made, I am afraid that someone will come to Qingcheng Town to check the household registration tomorrow.

His explanation for this incident is that something happened after he left Qingcheng Town. He lost his memory of living in Qingcheng Town because of the impact, but because of this, he remembered his original name—Tang Yan, and then joined the Pandaren Legion by chance. The first time he passed through Qingcheng Town to make a deal with the Yanhuang Brotherhood, seeing those familiar scenes and his own hut, he was stimulated to think of the things he used to live here.

The next step was to go to the Langya settlement to find someone, and unexpectedly learned that the residents of Qingcheng Town were behind bars. So with the help of friends, they contacted senior military officials, and the two sides reached an agreement, thus resolving the crisis in Qingcheng Town.

His words are clear and logical, so the old man will naturally not doubt it. After all, in the eyes of the people living here, he is not Deputy Head Tang who seized the actual control of Gem City, but the kind and reliable Hai Sheng .

After that, Tang Yan entrusted the mayor with one thing - he sent people here to deliver the goods every month, and Yuan Aihua and Lei Heng's people would take away the goods under the guise of condolences to the lives of the residents of Qingcheng Town.

The mayor is not stupid and knows that Tang Yan wants him to play the role of middleman.

Without any hesitation, the old man agreed, firstly out of gratitude and trust to Tang Yan, and secondly... with such a connection, Lei Heng and Yuan Aihua, as senior officials within the city defense army where Langya lived, were involved in some matters involving There will inevitably be biased speeches at meetings of Qingcheng Town's interests, which is naturally a good thing for the town residents.

Tang Yan not only rescued them from Langya settlement, but also took care of the future of the town.

"Haisheng, thank you."

"No, I should be the one to say thank you. If the mayor hadn't rescued me from the beach back then, maybe I would have died under the claws of the mud crab and turned into dry bones scattered on the seabed."

The old man smiled and shook his head without speaking.

Tang Yan looked at the sky outside the window, got up and said goodbye.

"Let's go after dinner. Everyone misses you." He knew that Tang Yan would not stay and continue to be a sea creature and live the life of a postman, because once something started, it could never be stopped.

"There are still companions waiting for me outside, and the appointed time has already passed. People who don't go back to the base will be in a hurry." He straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Qingcheng Town is not too far from Jewel City. I’ll be back to visit you sometime.”

The mayor nodded: "Okay then, remember to go home and have a look when you have time."

He used the word "go home", and the meaning was obvious. Regardless of whether Tang Yan was the deputy commander of the Pandaren Legion or had some other status, in the eyes of the residents of Qingcheng Town, he would always be the "Haisheng" they had lived with.

"Yeah." Tang Yan walked outside facing the setting sun, the ambiguous light shone on his face, and he felt lonely.

The memories of Qingcheng Town that he woke up the day before yesterday infused his empty spiritual world with a taste of nostalgia. If the office building of Maxim’s Cannery with Caiwei’s company was his first home, there is no doubt that Qingcheng Town is his first. Erjiayuan, even though it knows that the memory fragments in its mind belong to another person, and the life here is another person's life, but the emotion that surges from the bottom of my heart exists real and clearly, and it is expressed with the sourness in the nose and the eyes. Tenderness is a natural expression.

Coldness and cruelty are the main themes of the wasteland world, but there is always a small corner filled with warm colors and a feeling of happiness. Many times it is very close to us, living in the room on the left.

Wei Qianshou looked at his back and sighed. He really wanted to say that if you are willing... just stay here for two days. Over to the Pandaren Army, Zang Feng and I will go back first.

If it was placed in the past, such an arrangement would be no problem.The situation is different now. You must know that before the transaction with the Yanhuang Brotherhood, Tang Yan and Xia Xin had another agreement. They should go back after finishing the transaction. Yesterday it was delayed for a day, and today it is delayed for half a day. While acting according to the plan, but he stayed here, that would be a lot of fun.

Just when Tang Yan was about to reach the door, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Wait a minute."

Tang Yan stopped, and turned around with Wei Qianshou.

At this time, the old man turned around and went into the back room, and came out after a while, holding a blue jumpsuit in his hand, which looked like the clothes worn by members of the shelter from the style.

"Back when you came to Qingcheng Town, every time you saw this dress, you would get a severe headache while recuperating, but you couldn't remember anything. For the sake of your body, I put it away. Now... I think it's time to return it. Here it is, with your current ability, you may be able to retrieve your previous memories with it."

Looking at the neatly folded clothes, Tang Yan slowly stretched out his hand, stroking the cold and smooth fabric, frowning slightly.

He didn't have a headache, and he didn't remember anything, but there was a faint sense of familiarity deep in his soul.

This sense of familiarity becomes stronger and stronger as the eyes wander, and finally converges on a logo, or emblem, on the shoulder of the clothing.

The shelter number will be marked in a prominent place on the one-piece suit, for example, the one-piece suit No. 1001 worn by Han Xin, and there are matching clothes in No. 1017 shelter of Maxim Cannery.

The jumpsuit the old man gave him was different from the one in the shelter. There were no numbers on the back, and the emblem on the shoulder was a blue dragon with a tail in its mouth.

He was somewhat familiar with this emblem.

The old man said the dress was his and had been wearing it when he was found on the beach.

"Strange...really strange..."

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at his face: "Why, your head hurts again?"

Tang Yan shook his head: "I'm fine, it just feels very familiar."

Wei Qianshou rolled his eyes, thinking that these are your own clothes, it would be strange if you are not familiar with them.

Tang Yan didn't explain, only he knew that this familiarity was a bit complicated, not simply from his life as a postman, but also from his life as Tang Yan, but he couldn't remember where he met him after he came to this world. Had something like that.

"Let's go." Putting the jumpsuit on his arm, he walked out of the room, saying goodbye to the townspeople who were busy cleaning up the corpses of the ferocious beasts, and walked towards the north gate.

Many people advised him to eat dinner before leaving, but he declined all of them.

The people from Qingcheng Town sent them all the way to the north gate, only to return angrily when they saw the two of them start the modified pickup truck and go away.

"Tang Yan..."

"Well?"

"Did you really just make a deal with Yuan Aihua and Lei Heng?" On the way to Qingcheng Town, General Wang told him and Zang Feng about their encounters in Langya settlement, including what Xiao Hong said Don't go to Maxim's Cannery, and the process of Yiyi and Qingcheng Town residents being arrested, and Tang Yan trying to rescue them.

Of course, the cook didn't attend the meeting the night before, so he didn't know the details.

"Otherwise?" Tang Yan replied casually, staring at the road ahead.

Wei Qianshou stared at his face, with an expression of believing you would be strange.

"Are there flowers on my face?"

"You have a ghost on your face."

Tang Yan: "..."

He felt that it was a mistake to bring Wei Qianshou here. If it was Zang Feng, he would definitely not ask this question, and if it was General Wang, he would definitely not ask such a question.

Wei Qianshou said that there is a ghost on his face, but there is no ghost on his face, but actually there is a ghost in his heart.

It is said that pornography, gambling and drugs are not a good thing, and once you get involved, you will be in trouble for life.The same goes for some deals, especially deals with the devil.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, but to some people, he is the devil.

It was like what he said to Juniper before leaving Calabash Valley, it was a nail he planted in the Yunmeng mercenary group, a demon seed he planted.

For Yuan Aihua and Lei Heng, it was easy to get on his pirate ship, but it was a bit difficult to get off the pirate ship.

When they turn taking "Elysium" into a living habit, HI drugs such as "one-day tour" and Super Jet will naturally be regarded as garbage.

Those two must keep pleasing him when he needs it, so that there will be an uninterrupted supply.
