Chapter 4 Guardians, Special Action Team, Red Mist Alliance
After getting used to it at home for a while, He Mu gradually found the feeling of normal actions in his previous life.
It was almost noon.
A weak voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Mu, I'm here."
Hearing this sound, He Mu walked to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with green head dyed, holding a lunch box in his hand, wearing a fancy dress of a young man, but his face was full of listlessness.
This is the child of the restaurant owner at the entrance of the military community. It is named Zhou Yue. His lunch is basically given to him.
...
"Damn it! Brother Mu...you...you stand up?"
Zhou Yue was sleepy at first, but after opening the door and seeing He Mu, he jumped up in shock and couldn't throw out the lunch box in his hand.
"Yeah, come in and sit."
He Mu covered up the sadness in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Yue walked in with the lunch box carefully, as if afraid of accidentally touching He Mu, so he touched He Mu back on the spot.
"Brother Mu, I thought you were born with a congenital disability, but I didn't expect it to be cured!"
He heard these straightforward words, He Mu's face froze slightly, but he was not angry.
Zhou Yue is a man who has no restraint in his heart and speaks without any restraint, but he is better because he is kind-hearted and usually talks with him for a while before leaving when he delivers food.
Once he asked him why he talked to him for a while every day, and he replied that it was the elder brother's order, adding five yuan.
Later on, I got used to it.
"My brother left a special dose of medicine, and I'll be fine if I inject it."
He Mu explained calmly, then took the lunch box from Zhou Yue's hand and placed it on the dining table.
When Zhou Yue's face suddenly stiffened when he heard He Mu mention He Feng.
Then, he actually choked up.
"Brother Feng... It's such a pity. I have regarded him as an idol since I was a child. Who doesn't know what kind of person he is?
But the group of people on the Internet didn’t believe it. I had a night out against that group of people last night... Brother Mu, you may not believe it. They squirted me up, grass! Guess what they said..."
He Mu quickly interrupted when he heard this, "I will figure it out. But how did you do the college entrance examination?"
The college entrance examination also exists in this world, but it is more stringent and pays more attention to practical subjects. In addition, separate assessments and admissions for Red Mist Warriors have been added.
It is July, and this year's college entrance examination has ended and it is time to produce results.
Of course, due to physical reasons, he did not take the college entrance examination.
Zhou Yue wiped the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and after taking a few deep breaths, he mysteriously opened the lunch box.
In addition to vegetables and rice, there are also two chicken legs and two eggs in the lunch box.
A normal lunch only has one chicken leg and one egg, and the extra egg is Zhou Yue's parents' special care for him.
Today, there was another chicken leg, but what does this have to do with the college entrance examination?
"Hehe, I got a lot of exams. Instead of going to a vocational school in this city, it is better to go home and inherit the restaurant. Brother Mu, now I am a little boss, so I added another chicken leg to you.
Don’t worry, this extra meat will inevitably be eliminated after you have recovered, so you should make up for it!”
Zhou Yue said while patting his chest, thinking that he had inherited some multinational company.
He Mu was so amused and laughed at this, but his heart was very warm.
Unfortunately, he won't be able to eat this ordinary meal for long. If he becomes a Red Mist Warrior, his body will continue to strengthen. In addition to the strengthening peptides generated after the consumption of the Red Mist, this process also requires foods rich in extremely high nutritional value and extremely high calorie.
The main source of this food is the flesh and blood of various mutant monsters.
This is also one of the reasons why the Red Mist Warrior needs to consume a lot of money to become stronger.
The reason why my brother had consumed it before joining the army was because of the funding of the Nancheng Tengyun Fund.
When it comes to Tengyun Fund, we have to mention the concept of "Guardian".
Decades ago, a strange meteorite descended on the moon, and the strange red mist waved to the earth, and from then on, the monster era began.
However, in the early days, due to the support of human beings and the strong government, the social order did not collapse.
After decades of war, human society has formed a stable protection system.
This protection system consists of Guardians, Special Operations Team and Red Mist Alliance.
Among them, the Guardians are officially appointed, the Special Operations Team is approximately equal to the city's garrison troops, and the Red Mist Alliance is a loose social organization formed by Red Mist warriors who are unwilling to be restrained.
Usually some ordinary monsters can be dealt with by the Red Mist Alliance.
The Red Mist League cannot handle it, so it will be handed over to the Special Operations Team.
The special operation team cannot handle it, so the Guardian will take action.
The guardian of a city must be the strongest person in a city, and it is also the soul reliance and spiritual idol of all citizens.
When encountering a raid of powerful monsters or even monster groups, it has the highest command of the entire city. Whether it is the Special Operations Team or the Red Mist Alliance, it must obey the Guardian's command.
...
The guardians are strong and weak. Due to human nature, over time, loopholes appear in the guardian's appointment rules.
Rich people in big cities are willing to pay more and invite stronger guardians to protect their safety, while stronger guardians can attract more rich people.
As a result, the guardians of small cities became weaker and weaker.
After all, wherever you go to protect, even if it is the official, you must respect the opinions of the powerful Red Mist Warrior.
But small cities are not helpless. They can’t talk about treatment, but they can still talk about feelings.
So urban funds like Tengyun Fund appeared, where most of the money in such funds was voluntarily donated by citizens.
There is only one purpose, that is, to cultivate young people with potential in their hometown, bet on a future, and be willing to come back to protect their hometown after they achieve something in the future.
Brother He Feng is the potential boy selected by the Nancheng Tengyun Fund.
If nothing unexpected happens, after serving as the Guardian in Tianmen District for three years, he will return to his hometown and become the Guardian of Nancheng.
Unfortunately, things went against my wishes.
It is precisely because of this that my brother’s suicide note expresses his indebtedness to his hometown.
...
"Thank you, Xiao Yue."
Looking at the dishes in the lunch box, He Mu thanked him softly, and then started eating as usual, but this time it was much smoother.
Zhou Yue next to him also brags about the grand blueprint for the future as usual, and conceives the construction of a five-star hotel.
As he was talking, he mentioned He Feng again for some reason and suddenly buried him on the dining table and started crying.
He Mu was surrounded by him, and his belief in going to Lingzhou City became increasingly firm.
But in this world, it is extremely difficult to travel far, especially when traveling to a large city, which is much more difficult than going abroad in previous lives.
On the one hand, it is because big cities have stronger guardians and stronger protection systems. If there is no restrictions, big cities will be overcrowded.
On the other hand, it is because of traffic difficulties.
In this world, there is only railway option for civilian long-distance transportation.
As for planes and long-distance buses, they were discontinued decades ago because of frequent accidents.
From the map, the straight line distance from Nancheng to Lingzhou City is 1,000 kilometers, but it takes 3,000 kilometers to take the train.
It’s not to point cities through multiple channels, but because there are a large number of monster nests and places where monsters often appear.
In order to avoid these places, the railway will be built in a winding manner.
But even if we avoid it, the railway will be often destroyed by some passing monsters.
The train suddenly stopped halfway and waited for construction ahead. It happened every day. Even if you suddenly encounter monsters, it was normal.
Therefore, not only should the railway mechanic be provided on each train, but also a small team of Red Mist warriors should be provided for safety.
In this way, the cost of railway travel can be imagined.
For example, the round-trip train ticket from Nancheng to Lingzhou is priced at up to 100,000!
It would be fine if it was just money, but the key is that if you want to buy this ticket, you must apply to the relevant unit.
After the application is approved, you must buy a round-trip ticket and return on a limited date.
Most private applications will be rejected.
And those who are alone like me, who have no scruples and do not have guarantees in their workplace will probably not be able to apply for it.
As for walking along the railway... not to mention whether you will encounter danger on the way, even if you really walk to Lingzhou City, you will have to show proof before you can get in.
Of course, people in small cities are not unavailable for the rest of their lives.
There are two ways that He Mu knows, and can go out openly and even stay in a big city if he has the chance.
The first is to join the army, and the second is to go to college.
No matter which one, you will take a special train, and will be personally escorted to your destination by the Red Mist Warrior who is stronger than the city guardian.
Unfortunately, due to physical reasons, I did not take this year's college entrance examination.
