May 23, 2016. Zamboanga Ruins, Philippines.

Zhang Kesong stood on the street, bathing in the bloody skylight.

The long ponytail was tied cleanly behind his head, and he was wearing only the most ordinary black executive uniform. The two silver stars of the lieutenant on his shoulders shone slightly in the sky light, and a little ash was slowly falling down.

This was originally a prosperous street, but it was completely destroyed a year ago. Now there are broken walls and walls on both sides, and pale white soil ash several centimeters deep on the street.

She closed her eyes and stood there for two minutes, and she looked like a stone sculpture.

Until a man next to him asked in a low voice: "Where is it?"

She didn't say anything, just put her index finger on her lips and shrew softly.

So the man fell into silence and held the assault rifle in his hand tightly.

Another minute later, the girl opened her eyes, her eyes were calm.

She whispered: "…Here the gun in the direction of the clock."

So the man next to him did not hesitate to aim at an empty intersection in the direction of the clock.

"3,2,1, shoot."

The intersection was still empty. But the girl's voice had an unquestionable smell, and the man did not have any doubts about her instructions. When the last word of her was spit out of her mouth, the man pulled the trigger with his fingers.

One point shot.

Bullets flew toward an unmanned intersection.

Then……

A gray afterimage suddenly rushed out from the intersection, as if he deliberately made himself hit a bullet-

Bang. The bullet hit the opponent's head, and a blood splattered. The running person was slapped on the ground like a worn sack, and half of his face had been lifted away.

"Stop the work." Zhang Kesong turned around as if nothing had happened, lowered his head slightly and walked towards the distance.

But the man hesitated for a moment, walked quickly to the intersection and shot the corpse in the heart. Then he turned around and chased after him, whispering: "There should be another one."

"It's dead." The girl smiled slightly.

So the two of them fell into silence. After walking side by side for a while, the man said again: "Actually, it's very dangerous here. I suggest you evacuate earlier. Li Zhen... If he is still here, he won't want you to do this."

The girl glanced at him and shook her head gently: "No danger. There are troops on the coast, and there are so many people on the periphery. Today, there are already many people. The number of aliens awakened by the Gate of Truth is limited, and they have almost died here before."

The man frowned.

The girl smiled again: "Why, even you are shaken now?"

"It's not shaken, but..." He sighed, "It's been a year."

"It's just one year." The girl's face became serious. "I said he wasn't dead, he wasn't dead. I'll wait for him for a year, and I don't mind waiting for another year, or ten years."

"But……"

"Yes, make a decision!" Zhang Kesong stopped suddenly and glared, "If you just came to persuade me to leave, I can tell you that there is no danger here. If you came to tell me that Li Zhen was dead, I can tell you that he was not dead. What else do you have to say?"

Ying Jian stopped and was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Okay. I won't talk much anymore. But it's not that I came here specifically, but to see you. In a week, we will try to clear out the strongholds on Island No. 36. At that time, there may be residual enemies coming from the sea. You have to be careful."

"Yes." She calmed her expression and regained her calm expression. After walking for a while, she asked again like chatting: "How is that thing?"

"The result has come out. The North Court said that the knife and the type of species are very close, but they have been artificially processed. Our people have confirmed that it flowed out of the Gate of Truth, and it seems that they have not retained much. The Gate of Truth said that that thing can 'kill the god'..." Ying Jueran frowned slightly, "I don't know if it was what Li Zhen said before, his secret that can eliminate the type of species."

Zhang Kesong nodded without comment. He was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

The next moment, she quickly pulled out the pistol from her waist and pointed at the ruins beside her-

A soldier who was about to jump out of there let out a low cry, his body tilted slightly, and almost hit the muzzle.

Zhang Kesong glanced at him before retracting the shot: "What's wrong? Are you done with the matter in the east?"

The soldier looked at the pistol on her waist with lingering fear and calmed his breath: "Report, we found a human skeleton."

"Human skeleton? What's this..." Zhang Kesong was only halfway through his words, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Human skeleton? Complete?"

"Yes!" the soldier replied excitedly.

Zhang Kesong glanced at Ying Jueran and found the same light in his eyes. He then shouted in a low voice: "Take me there!"

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the scene that the soldiers said.

The bones have been excavated - the thing has been placed in a freezer. There are several safes next to the freezer, and... a large number of gold bars.

Zhang Kesong walked to an officer a few steps: "What's going on?"

"It seems that this was a bank vault in the past." The commander on the scene said, "We used life detectors before. The instrument had broken down just now. Someone took the wrong metal detector, and they found these. The vault had actually collapsed. When it was dug out, the freezer had been smashed open, so we saw..."

Zhang Kesong and Ying Jueran were almost walking to the bone.

It looked like a human bone, with flesh and blood rotting, leaving only a pale skeleton. The bottom of the freezer was carefully cleaned by the excavators, and there was nothing outside the skeleton.

Ying Jue Ran frowned slightly: "This thing... is placed in the bank vault?"

"Expert, expert! Where is the person?" Zhang Kesong shouted loudly. A middle-aged man struggled to squeeze in from the soldiers guarded outside and trotted all the way: "Here, here!"

Zhang Kesong pulled him to the freezer: "Look at it-is this bone a man or a woman?"

Ying Jueran looked at the girl's anxious expression and sighed slightly in his heart.

Hope. Such an inconspicuous hope will soon turn into disappointment. In fact, it is not necessary for experts to know that this is definitely not Li Zhen's bone.

First of all, according to the form of the day, he could not stuff himself into the freezer and run into the bank vault.

Secondly, I have been able to detect that the bone... was between 1.65 and 1.7 meters tall during my lifetime. And Li Zhen was about the same height as me, so I would never be like this.

The day he died generously was said to be dozens of meters long... How could he be preserved so completely under the bombardment of the heavy artillery group?

The experts' opinions were consistent with him.

The man looked carefully and asked hesitantly: "How tall was the general... when he died?"

General.

This word now makes him feel mixed in Ying Jueran's ears.

Major General Li Zhen.

This was given to him afterwards—the result was not determined until six months ago. But no matter how complicated the process was, how the empire and the royal family set the precedent for him—

That person can't even come back. In fact, this can be considered a reputation behind Qianqiu.

But that guy left in a free and ruthless manner, leaving only a name and a memory for himself. When he came here a few days ago, he saw so many candles and bouquets near the warning area outside Sanbaoyan... The name of this person also remained in the hearts of more people.

Unfortunately, nothing can represent - death is empty.

He let out a light breath, and Zhang Kesong had already discussed the results with the expert.

Experts believe that this is a female bone, about twenty years old, and was about 1.66 meters tall during her lifetime.

Zhang Kesong bent down and touched the bone expressionlessly, suddenly raised his head and asked Ying Jueran: "What did the report say before? I remember a survivor said that he once saw Li Zhen walk into a bank-"

Ying Jueran forced a smile: "I don't read much, have you taken away all the information?"

Zhang Kesong continued to murmur, "Keikawa Qingming was gone before Li Zhen... But he had never left the city during that period. Will he cremate her? No... he can be reborn by himself, he has saved you too, so he..."

Zhang Kesong's eyes slowly lit up, looked at Ying Jue Ran, and whispered four words: "Keichuan Qingming."

"But so many banks..." Ying Jueran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his words were stupid.

There are indeed many banks in Zamboanga, but everyone will not leave a skeleton in the underground vault! He subconsciously looked at the skeleton-

Kitagawa Seiyaki?

What exactly does Li Zhen mean? If it was her, Li Zhen felt that she could save her?

A thought arose from Ying Jueran's heart - the thought that he had given up before, but gradually became stronger at this time - can he try to save her? If she saved her, does it mean that all the secrets of Li Zhen's last period will be revealed to the world... And people can know what the weapon to destroy a species is?

He realized the significance of the matter and his face became solemn: "Identification DNA..."

But before he finished speaking, he shook his head - electronic devices are still unavailable, how to identify DNA.

Zhang Kesong had turned around and ordered the commander to lead the team: "This thing is delivered to me along with the freezer. Immediately."

The commander saluted and immediately directed his soldiers to get busy. The roar of steam engines suddenly sounded at the operation site.
Chapter completed!
