"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I have to take the first step." After being silent for a while, Li Shan couldn't sit still anymore. He reached out and grabbed a glass of wine from the bar and toasted to Ye Qianyan. He didn't wait for Ye Qianyan to reply.

After drinking it in one gulp, he put down the cup and stood up and whispered.

Following Li Shan's actions, Zhang Dahai also behaved in the same way. It's just that he didn't know whether it was because he was too embarrassed to say leaving, or because Ye Qianyan was already dead. After toasting, he strode straight towards the stairs.

, not even a word of farewell.

"Haha, let's go." Ye Qianyan said indifferently. He did not get up, but slowly turned around, facing the bar and looking down at his feet.

"Uh...hehe..." Li Shan laughed dryly and quickly followed Zhang Dahai's footsteps without any further pause.

With the departure of Zhang Dahai and Li Shan, many low-ranking officers in the hall also received reminders from the two lieutenants. The agitation suddenly resumed, and nearly half of the people were unable to sit still.

"If you want to leave, just leave quickly. If you leave late, it will be too late to regret it." Listening to the movement behind him, Ye Qianyan suddenly calmed down, raised his head and said loudly and calmly.

As his words fell, the sound of a large number of tables and chairs scraping against the floor suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Oops! Why the hell are you hitting me!" Just as dozens of people left their seats one after another and prepared to leave, several of the other soldiers who had no idea of ​​leaving suddenly took action without warning.

"Brothers! Come on! Kill these little things raised by Bichi!!"

"Did Brother Ye ever be afraid of anything when he rescued you?! When he was hiding in Tibet with you bastards like Dandong in a hail of bullets, did Brother Ye ever dislike you?!!"

"Don't come out with us if you don't have money in Malaysia! Now that you hear that you are in trouble, you will hate your parents for giving you two legs, right?!"

"Bang! Bang!!"

Following several shouts and curses that resounded through the hall, the battle was about to break out. Dozens of people were fighting fiercely in an instant and became a huddle.

Ye Qianyan, who was at the bar, listened quietly to everything going on behind him. He didn't get up to stop him, and he had no intention of speaking. He just sat there quietly, looking at the empty cup in his hand in a daze.

That's how people are. When things are not revealed, there is one ending, and when things are revealed, there is another ending.

When he rescued these people, he did it subconsciously and never thought about asking anyone to repay him. Something happened to him and he was almost killed outside. He escaped and came to No. 70

In the urban area, Brother Hong gave him a smart bracelet.

He never thought about telling anyone about this incident, let alone saying goodbye or complaining to anyone.

Because he is a member of the legion, the most important rule for a legionnaire is to keep public and private affairs separate, and never violate legion rules or affect the overall situation due to private matters.

He was very happy that these people could come to say goodbye to him today. If they had not come, he would not have had any extra thoughts. But now that these people are here, it is necessary for him to tell the crisis behind the facts. Maybe this will

Destroy some feelings, but at least it won't harm other people's futures and lives.

"What I did was right, what I did was right, so I should feel at ease." Ye Qianyan murmured to himself, put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked slowly toward the stairs.

Every time he took a step closer to the stairs, his heart became colder, and the past memories that had been silent in the depths of his mind returned little by little with this coldness. When he walked out of the bar door, his face reappeared

gave a faint smile.

Next to a flower bed on the street outside the bar, an old man in his sixties was sitting. The old man held a cotton doll in his arms and a smart bracelet in his hand, staring at the light screen in front of him in a daze.

Judging from his messy hair blown by the cold wind, he must have been sitting there for a long time.

Ye Qianyan slowly walked to the old man's side and sat down, glancing at the light curtain in front of the old man.

On the light screen was a young girl who looked to be in her twenties. The girl was not very beautiful, but her smile was very attractive.

"Uncle, is she yours?" Ye Qianyan asked softly.

"She is my little daughter, her name is Qiao Xinru, and she is a student at District 65 College." The old man stared at the light screen intently, with a hint of pride and a hint of sadness in his calm tone.

"Oh... students from higher education institutions have the opportunity to become second-class citizens after graduation." Ye Qianyan exclaimed.

"Xiaoru will graduate in one year, and I have saved enough contribution badges for her to be promoted to a second-class citizen..." The old man said, tears streaming down his face, "But... those damn gangs

The rebels created an explosion attack in the restaurant outside the college... Xiaoru, she..."

"Uncle, are you a second-class citizen?" Ye Qianyan asked curiously.

"I'm just a third-class citizen..." The old man raised his wrinkled hand to wipe the tears from his face and whispered.

"Third-class citizen..." Ye Qianyan was startled, then showed respect to the old man, "Uncle, please forgive me."

There are three ways to upgrade a third-class citizen to a second-class citizen. One is to graduate from a college early, the other is to graduate normally from a college and then spend 100,000 contribution badges to upgrade, and the third is to directly use 500,000 contribution badges to upgrade.

This old man is just a third-class citizen, but he actually accumulated 100,000 contribution badges to upgrade his daughter’s status! His daughter is only in her twenties, but he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old! What a pitiful parent in the world.

!

"My condolences? No! The rebels killed my daughter, and I only have hatred in my heart! Even if it costs me my life! I still want them to pay with their blood!" The old man's face suddenly turned cold, and he turned to look at

Ye Qianyan said, "Young man, it's very late at night, go home and rest quickly."

"There is no home for me here, and I don't know where my home is." Ye Qianyan was not frightened by the old man's face or words, and chuckled, "In this foreign land, I met the same people from Zhongzhou.

I suddenly miss you with your beautiful face, the familiar black hair and black eyes...and the hometown I don't know where..."

"Young man, in today's era, there are no distinctions between regions and hometowns. As a descendant of the Earth's mother planet, no place can be considered a hometown unless the mother planet is recaptured." The old man's expression gradually calmed down and he stood up.

He looked at Ye Qianyan and said, "But since we are both from Zhongzhou, we can still be considered fellow villagers, haha. Come on, come on! If you have nowhere to go, just come with me and go sit in my rented house.

, try the taste of our authentic Zhongzhou dishes.”

"Since we have plenty of food, let's talk about you first. You came here and sat alone in the middle of the night. Who are you waiting for?" Ye Qianyan asked with a smile and waved his hand.

"I...Oh, young man, you won't laugh at me for being an old man who overestimates his capabilities..." The old man sighed, sat down again and lowered his head.

"It's rare to see such a great father like you." Ye Qianyan smiled and shook his head, "Looking at your outfit, if I guess correctly, you just came to District 70 this afternoon, right?"

"Young man, can you see this?" the old man said in surprise.

"I didn't think much about it at first. I thought I just met a fellow countryman. But I didn't expect that after just asking a few questions, you said such earth-shattering words." Ye Qianyan chuckled.

"Alas..." As soon as the topic returned to his daughter, the old man's mood immediately dropped. He touched the old rag doll in his arms, his eyes full of sadness and confusion, "My home is in Cang.

In the Free Zone of Lan Base City, I originally had a wife and two daughters. The catastrophe in the sky more than ten years ago took away my wife and eldest daughter. After that, I took my younger daughter to the Alliance Base City to make a living.

.”

"We, father and daughter, have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. I have worked hard to make money just so that my daughter can obtain a higher status and live in a metropolitan city without any worries. There are only three high-end living areas, which are the most

Safe. But if you want to live in the three major high-end living areas for a long time, the status of a third-class citizen is far from enough." The old man sighed in a low voice, "But now it seems that nowhere is safe, without natural disasters.

, someone will be in trouble..."

During the catastrophic invasion of the Okuyama fleet more than ten years ago, the three most securely defended higher living areas in major base cities were least threatened. The other free zones and wilderness areas, in addition to major middle and lower colleges, suffered heavy losses among residents.

The vast majority of innocent people buried in the loess in that catastrophe were from free zones and wilderness areas.

"Yes." Ye Qianyan also sighed, "If you want the best security, you can only upgrade your status to a higher level and enjoy more resources."

"After my daughter's accident, I have been looking for officials in Alliance Base City, begging them to avenge my daughter, but those officials always used various reasons to let me leave, saying that the matter was not that simple, so I had no choice but to find someone else.

"Father." The old man whispered, "Just today, I learned through the virtual network that a terrorist attack had occurred in City No. 70, so I quickly took the fastest spaceship and came here, hoping to meet some big shots here, and then ask for help

They help."

"Only when I got here did I realize that no big shot had appeared at all, and everything was being handled by the mechanical patrol." The old man said in a low tone, a little decadent.

"Then you wandered around here without any problems and found that a military spacecraft had stopped here, and a large group of people got off the spacecraft and came to this bar, so you stayed here and waited, hoping to see you again.

Those people, please help you?" Ye Qianyan added after the old man's words.

The old man raised his head and looked at Ye Qianyan in surprise, "Yes, I originally wanted to go in, but it turned out that in order to go to the second floor, I had to have the status of a second-class citizen or a federal soldier. I had no choice but to leave.
