It was the third day after Xiao Ruxun woke up from his bed. Xiao Ruxun had a normal life of going to class, eating, returning to the dormitory to sleep with his roommates.
In just three days, he had adjusted everything. He was very calm, so calm that it was as if nothing had happened.
He tried his best to behave like everyone else, without any difference.
Of course, it was not that nothing had really happened.
Waking up from his bed and seeing familiar people and familiar things, Xiao Ruxun felt very confused.
Facing his roommates' questions, he did not say a word.
He should have died, and he should have died as a sixty-seven-year-old old man, but why did he open his eyes again, and he was even a twenty-one-year-old young man?
This made Xiao Ruxun feel very confused.
What made him even more confused was the environment he was in right now.
Haimen University was the place where he went to university in his memory.
Zhou Chuanxin, Xia Yong, and Wang Sihai were his three college roommates. Although more than 40 years had passed, he still remembered their names very clearly.
Now, it was a year before he graduated, and it was also a year before the crisis in his memory broke out. It was 2009.
The situation was so strange that it made Xiao Ruxun wonder if he had been dreaming all the time. The memory of Daqin was simply a dream, and it had never really existed.
Had he been dreaming all the time, and more than 40 years had passed in his dream?
However, this made Xiao Ruxun feel even more strange.
If this was a dream, it was too real.
Therefore, Xiao Ruxun kept calm.
When he first woke up, he ignored his roommates' attempts to stop him. He ignored the tragedy that might happen if he did not go to class and was not called by the teacher. He stayed in the dormitory and used the computer to check the situation of the era he was in.
Well, he felt that he had not used these modern electronic devices for a long time, but his body was surprisingly honest and proficient. He was so proficient that he wanted to ask himself why he was so proficient.
After a flurry, looking at the information displayed on the computer, Xiao Ruxun was silent for a long time.
How should he put it, he was half happy and half angry …
What made him happy was that everything he had experienced was not fake, but real.
He was angry because the Daqin had been destroyed for 130 years.
Somehow, he woke up in this era.
It felt like his original world had been completely replaced by the world he had created. However, his roommates and classmates were all exactly the same, and there was no deviation from his memory.
However, Xiao Ruxun didn't have time to think about it. He was eager to know how Daqin fell.
He spent the whole morning reading historical materials.
Now, there was a country called the Chinese Federation. It inherited about three-quarters of the territory of the extinct Daqin. Its political system was parliamentary, and there was no emperor.
The information he had found showed that nearly 500 years ago, Daqin's Taizu Wu Emperor Xiao Ruxun usurped the throne through a mutiny, overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and established the Qin Dynasty. He created the most powerful dynasty and period in Chinese history, and expanded the territory of China to the limit he could reach.
The historical materials that Xiao Ruxun could find showed that the current Chinese Federation's evaluation of Taizu Wu Emperor Xiao Ruxun was quite high.
It was said that the country under his rule was "far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties." It was said that it was powerful and had no enemies in the world at that time.
It was said that he conquered the grasslands to the north, wiped out the Northern Barbarians, and wiped out the enemies that the dynasties of the Central Plains could not destroy for thousands of years. It was said that he expanded to the far west, turned the entire Nanyang into the inland sea of Daqin, and expanded his power to the east to America. During Xiao Ruxun's reign, Daqin swept away the decadence of the late Ming Dynasty and showed a different kind of vitality.
Naturally, when there is praise for a historical figure, there is criticism. The biggest point of criticism for Qin Taizu Xiao Ruxun was his style of political strongman.
"In order to solve the obstacle to his overthrow of the Ming dynasty, he carried out an unprecedented drastic land reform. At the cost of the lives of millions of landlords and their families, he completed the change of dynasty. Among those who were executed were a large number of famous literati at that time."
"In order to consolidate his rule, starting with the death of the Minister of Revenue, Zhao Shizhen, in the first year of Longwu, he launched a bloody political cleansing campaign. In the following twenty-six years, he carried out six rectification campaigns. The number of officials and their families who were executed was around 200,000."
"In terms of political system, he carried out a very thorough centralized system, bringing all the local authorities under the control of the central government. It was necessary at that time, but in the years that followed, this system increasingly showed its disadvantages. Therefore, the Qin government in the later years was extremely redundant, even more so than the Song Dynasty, bringing great financial pressure."
[Emperor Taizu's strong political style continued in the fields of science, technology, and education. In the field of science and technology, he single-handedly promoted the great development of Chinese science and technology. In the field of education, he carried out unprecedented universal education, which was unprecedented in the world at that time. Since then, the literacy rate of the Chinese population has been the highest in the world for a long time.]
"However, even though Taizu Wu's many initiatives were positive, he set a very bad precedent for the Qin Dynasty in the field of ideology, causing the Qin government's official education ideology to be very conservative and strict, suppressing and restraining the emergence of new ideas, greatly limiting the progress of intellectual ideas."
"Taizu Wu, Xiao Ruxun, was a great and outstanding emperor, statesman, strategist, and educator in China's history. He made immortal contributions to the improvement of the quality of China's population and created an unprecedented prosperity for China. However, his ideology ultimately did not jump out of the restrictions of that era, and everything he did had a very strong color of the era …"
There were many other comments on him, positive and negative.
Positive comments said that he was an eternal emperor who created the era of prosperity for China, guided the prosperity of Daqin for hundreds of years, and made China's footsteps at the forefront of the world, leading the trend, and unrivaled in the world.
Negative comments said that he was the main culprit of the intensification of social and ideological contradictions in the later period of the Qin Dynasty's rule, and his enthusiasm for political rectification throughout the Qin Dynasty's history, causing the political situation of the Qin Dynasty to always be in a relatively unstable state, and was regarded as one of the reasons why the Qin Dynasty was' abandoned 'by the people.
Xiao Ruxun roughly looked at the entire history of the dynasty.
Zhenbang did not let him down, and continued his style in politics, and finally Yongxing was evaluated as having the 'legacy of Longwu', and the Daqin continued to grow strong.
In military affairs, he joined forces with Genoa and France to defeat the Spanish navy, and forced Spain to apologize and pay reparations, ceding the Gibraltar area as an enclave of Daqin, for the Daqin merchants to rest there, and created a precedent for the Daqin to force other countries to cede land overseas.
In education and science and technology, they also continued Xiao Ruxun's style, striving to promote the popularization of education and the advancement of science and technology, and especially supporting the development of steam engines. In the 17th year of Yongxing during Xiao Zhenbang's reign, the first experimental steam engine of Daqin came out.
Xiao Zhenbang ruled the Daqin for 26 years, and in the 26th year of Yongxing, he abdicated and gave the throne to his eldest son, Xiao Zhigao, and retired to the Wanshou Palace as the Retired Emperor. Historians said that he followed in his father's footsteps, and then he died of illness in the sixth year of Xiao Zhigao's reign.
Since then, the Xiao Qin Dynasty had been implementing some of the important policies formulated by Xiao Ruxun, such as the imperial power to the countryside, the system of mausoleums, the popularization of education, the selection of officials, and the opening of the sea, and so on.
If such policies had been adhered to, Xiao Ruxun felt that the Daqin might not have any problems.
The bad thing happened during the reign of the seventh emperor, Xiao Yongzhi. He stopped the implementation of the policy of mausoleums, and was known for his leniency and benevolence during his reign. He did not kill ministers, and did not carry out political movements.
During the 20 years of his reign, the Daqin was very prosperous, the politics were peaceful, the people were stable, and so on.
But it was very strange that from the beginning of his reign, the financial revenue of the Qin government had been declining for a long time, and many problems were exposed in the local tax policy.
The succeeding eighth and ninth emperors all tried to restore the mausoleum system, but they did not succeed. From the beginning of the tenth emperor, the restoration of the mausoleum system became a political taboo, and the tenth emperor also set a precedent of not going to the court for 20 years to fight with the ministers.
The fate of the Daqin began to go downhill.
But it had to be said that relying on the scientific and technological system and the educational system, the science and technology of the Daqin promoted the development of the national power, making the military power of the Daqin very strong.
The Daqin had never encountered a military threat from the outside. Instead, it became a military threat from many other countries. Its military enclaves were all over the world, and it was known as the empire where the sun never sets.
But the internal contradictions of the Daqin gradually became sharper, spreading from the court to other places in the country. A kind of dissatisfaction with the royal family of the Xiao Qin gradually became popular from the tenth emperor, Xiao Changxing.
They criticized the property of the royal family and the system of the Imperial Plantation. They thought that the royal family was competing with the people for benefits, criticized the secret service system, and thought that the secret service of the Daqin was a terrorist organization that endangered the safety of the people, and so on.
Subsequently, this kind of rebellious thinking led to the suppression of the Qin government. The suppression of ideas and the suppression of education by the Qin central government became even more severe. As a result, it led to more dissatisfaction and resistance from the intellectuals among the people. It led to greater internal chaos and a series of riots.
The Qin government began to use violent means to suppress and arrest the riots caused by these intellectuals.
Different from what Xiao Ruxun remembered, this time, the wave of the overthrow of the royal family and the establishment of a republic in the early 20th century was first started by the Daqin.
Then it spread to tsarist Russia in the north, as well as Europe. The royal families all over the world suffered different degrees of attacks and liquidation. The final result was similar to the result of the original world. The remaining royal families were all symbolic, and the real power was controlled by the emerging bourgeois revolutionaries.
In the chaos, resistance, and suppression, the Daqin used up its luck and national power, and was defeated by the local revolutionaries 130 years ago. The army collectively changed sides, and the last Qin emperor was unable to save the situation. He was forced to abdicate, give up the country, and become an ordinary citizen of the Chinese Federation.
The royal family's property was taken over by the Chinese Federation, and a certain amount of funds was given to the royal family every year as compensation. The royal family lost everything they originally had, and only had a certain amount of funds every year to get by. Moreover, their personal freedom was supervised and restricted by the government.
More than a hundred years later, the members of the Qin royal family had become ordinary people.
It was probably the situation of Uncle Liu Bei.
As of today, there were not many members of the Qin royal family left, and they had completely lost the meaning of their existence.
In the more than a hundred years of existence of the Chinese Federation, which was ruled by the federal government, part of the worthless land was abandoned 'out of national defense needs.'
However, most of the land was retained because of the immigration policy that the Qin government insisted on. Although the distance was far, most of the residents were Han Chinese, and they received the same education, so they had a strong sense of national identity.
Moreover, the luck of the Chinese Federation was pretty good. During the period when the Qin government collapsed, the governments of various countries around the world also suffered from different degrees of attacks and chaos. No one had the time to take advantage of the chaos to invade, so the Chinese Federation survived that period of time safely, restoring order and national defense.
After that, it inherited most of the inheritance of the Qin government, becoming a country similar to the United States in Xiao Ruxun's memory. It controlled the world's financial hegemony, and its actions were just like the United States.
The country was very powerful, and it was fully deserving of being the world's hegemon.
When he saw this, Xiao Ruxun did not know how he felt in his heart.
The Daqin had existed, and it had existed for a very long time. Although it was overthrown in the end, a new federal country appeared on the land of China. He was a little relaxed.
At the same time, he was a little depressed.
Because everything he had done had not allowed the Daqin to overcome the obstacles of history and successfully survive. Although he knew it was difficult, and although he had done a lot, he still could not change the outcome.
He did not know if the things he left for Zhenbang had been properly passed down. He did not know what the bastard seventh emperor had done, and he did not know if his father had educated him well.
Although he really wanted to beat him up as an ancestor, it seemed that he could not do it.
After the initial anger, Xiao Ruxun thought about it carefully and felt that this seemed to be an unavoidable ending.
Perhaps this was not bad.
After coming to his senses, Xiao Ruxun took a while to calm his heart, and then gradually walked out of his depression.
He had been a general, a fugitive, an emperor, and he had died twice.
Although she didn't know how she came back to life, Xiao Ruxun, who had experienced great ups and downs, was no longer in the same state as before.
An indescribable sense of relief, joy, and relief quickly made him happy.
To be honest, the pressure of being an emperor for decades really crushed him. So now that he had become an ordinary student, not only was he not depressed, but he was also very relaxed.
This was also good, right?
Xiao Ruxun thought so.
Therefore, he decided to restart the life that he had not completed in his previous life. He wanted to start his new life in this new country, just so that he did not have to consider the life of the people in the world.
This once familiar feeling had now become very novel, and even made him a little excited.
However, it was nearing the end of his internship, and he was about to graduate. The campus was filled with a tense atmosphere and sadness of parting.
Several friends in the dormitory discussed going out to find an internship as soon as they had time.
Naturally, Xiao Ruxun was also asked.
"Old Xiao, have you found an internship? Has your uncle's company that you mentioned before been settled? "
Xiao Ruxun was still planning the future route. He looked up at Zhou Chuanxin, who was talking, and casually responded with a few words.
"Ah, it's settled, it's settled …"
Zhou Chuanxin was obviously not satisfied with a few perfunctory answers.
"You're fine. Uncle's company can help you, but it's difficult for us. It's not easy to find a job now. Although Haimen is a big city, it's not easy to find a good job. Life is too stressful now."
Zhou Chuanxin patted Xiao Ruxun's shoulder.
The other two guys also seemed a little melancholy. They talked about how they were young when they first came to the university, as well as the confusion and melancholy at the moment.
However, Xiao Ruxun did not feel any sense of reality.
His father died of an illness when he was in junior high school, and his mother died when he was in primary school. He was brought up by his uncle. In his previous life, he had interned at his uncle's company before he graduated.
Later, his uncle wanted him to go to work, but he did not want to rely on his uncle for the rest of his life, so he wanted to find a job himself. Unexpectedly, he did not find a job, but the virtual plot in the game came true.
Haimen City, the city he was in, was a coastal city. Unfortunately, it encountered the first wave of crisis. It was on the day of the graduates' return to school. His uncle gave him a call, and that was a farewell forever.
This time, Xiao Ruxun did not know how the situation would be different.
Would the crisis break out again?
No, in this world, the United States was still divided. It had been more than a hundred years, and the north and south were divided. They could not even take care of themselves, let alone become enemies with the Chinese Federation.
The crisis might not even exist. Xiao Ruxun felt that he did not need to worry about this. He only needed to think about the future.
As for the worries of his roommates, he felt that there was no need for them.
Yesterday, he spoke to his uncle on the phone and chatted with him for a while, so he knew what to do.
"I don't think we need to worry too much. Although it's not easy to find a job now, our university is not a simple university. Our grades are not bad, and our performance in school is not bad either. We have a stepping stone in our hands, so don't worry.
Old Zhou, you're in the Department of Economics and Management. Although it's not easy to find a job, your grades are so good. If you can't find an internship company, I'll recommend you to my uncle. My uncle will be happy to train you. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. "
Xiao Ruxun patted his chest, looking very confident. Zhou Chuanxin was very surprised.
"Really? Old Xiao, you're not lying to me? "
"Why would I lie to you? A gentleman never … never goes back on his word! "
"Great! That's great! Old Xiao, you … I've always wanted to ask for your help, but I was too embarrassed to ask. I really don't know how to thank you. "
"What are you thanking me for? We've known each other for so many years."
Xiao Ruxun smiled and patted Zhou Chuanxin's shoulder. "Do a good job. Don't let me down … let me down."
"Sigh!"
Zhou Chuanxin's face was full of smiles. He didn't notice that there was something wrong with Xiao Ruxun's words.
"Old Xia."
Xiao Ruxun wouldn't favor one and discriminate against the other. He looked at Xia Yong.
"I'm here! Old Xiao, is it your uncle's company … "
"You're in environmental engineering. My uncle's company isn't involved in this business."
Xia Yong immediately drooped his head.
"However, my uncle has a few good friends. One of the friends' company is related to this major. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Really?"
Xia Yong's eyes lit up.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Xiao Ruxun also patted his shoulder. "Don't let me down. Do a good job."
"Of course, of course! How can I waste this opportunity! "
Finally, only Wang Sihai was left.
Wang Sihai immediately came up and hugged Xiao Ruxun's arm.
"Old Xiao, we're all brothers. Don't favor one and discriminate against the other. What do you want? Do you want me to sleep with you tonight? I'm going to take a shower right now! I can prepare my own vaseline. Do you want me to change into women's clothes and spray perfume? "
"…"
Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath.
"Ah! Old Xiao! No! Ah! So exciting! Ah! So hard! No, Brother Xiao! No!! "
Xiao Ruxun fiercely beat up this homo, and then promised to be a matchmaker for him.
In just one night, the atmosphere in the dormitory immediately changed. Xiao Ruxun was served like a boss by his three lackeys.
Serving tea and water, helping to get food and buy supper, Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt that he was back to the feeling of being served by eunuchs when he was an emperor.
Sure enough, the burden of life was sharper than the knife used to castrate the eggs. The eunuchs were invisible.
However, while feeling relaxed, the three eunuchs seemed to have discovered something.
"Old Xiao, why do I feel that you're a little different?"
Zhou Chuanxin suddenly said.
Xiao Ruxun raised his head and glanced at him. Zhou Chuanxin immediately nodded affirmatively.
"Different?"
"Yes, different. This sitting posture, this gaze, it's a little …"
"There's an inexplicably domineering feeling, isn't it?"
Xia Yong suddenly came up and said with a smile.
"Yes, that's it. This sitting posture, domineering! Sure enough, a man with a card up his sleeve is domineering! "
Zhou Chuanxin looked up and down at Xiao Ruxun.
Xiao Ruxun smiled.
"That's natural."
I'm someone who was an emperor.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Ruxun suddenly frowned.
He suddenly had some other thoughts in his mind.
What's with this subtle feeling of discomfort?
At this time, Xiao Ruxun did not realize where this subtle discomfort came from.
Until the next night, when he was eating in the cafeteria, the television in the cafeteria hall played the evening news.
The interstellar probe of the Chinese Federation has successfully completed all its exploration missions and will return to Earth in a year. This exploration operation was launched eight years ago, and three manned spacecraft have been sent to Mars in a row for exploration activities.
"It is reported that the main mission of this manned spaceflight is to establish a base for human habitation. Prior to this, the Federation has completed a one-year survival exercise for ten astronauts, and the results are good. After the end of this exploration, it is expected that the next round of scientific research operations can be launched within two years …"
The news announcer on the television broadcast the news, but the students in the cafeteria did not seem to pay much attention to this.
Only Xiao Ruxun stared at the television screen.
Zhou Chuanxin saw that Xiao Ruxun seemed to be very interested in this, so he said, "Reporting about manned spaceflight every day has been going on for many years. I don't know what they have come up with. It is said that when the Qin dynasty was still in power, the Qin government already had this plan."
"Huh? There's such a thing? Why don't I know about it? "
Xia Yong was dumbfounded.
"You only care about your broken equipment, you don't care about national affairs at all!"
"Why don't I care? This doesn't have much to do with me, does it? "
"Okay, okay, let's eat. This kind of thing is being done all over the world, don't talk about it …"
Xiao Ruxun did not listen to a single word of these three people's argument. He stared at the content on the screen, and his eyes slowly widened.
Not long after that, school came to an end. His roommates and Xiao Ruxun left school together and officially began their internship.
This time, Xiao Ruxun did not choose to go out on his own. Instead, he worked in his uncle's company and started a new life with Zhou Chuanxin.
They worked hard and lived a fulfilling life.
After the three-month internship, Xiao Ruxun and Zhou Chuanxin became permanent employees together. Xiao Ruxun was also promoted and became Zhou Chuanxin's boss.
At first, Xiao Ruxun thought that her name might be a little troublesome. However, it seemed that no one cared about her name. It seemed that for a person who was active 500 years ago, people didn't care much about it now.
Occasionally, colleagues and clients would tease him about his name, but he would just laugh it off. He did not care, and no one cared.
Xiao Ruxun got used to life here. He felt the rules of life in this world and this country. He experienced the modern elite lifestyle. In addition to work, he also walked out of this big city. He used his holidays to go further and experience this country outside of the big city.
Many things were different, but many things were still the same.
He liked some of them, but he did not like some of them.
He also used a long holiday to go to Sichuan and wander around. Then, he returned to Haimen.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the homecoming day. On the homecoming day, Xiao Ruxun and Zhou Chuanxin drove back to Haimen University together. They were going to get their graduation certificates and attend the graduation ceremony.
"Manager Xiao! Don't move! I'll open the door for you! "
The car drove to the school parking lot. Xiao Ruxun did not ask Zhou Chuanxin to stop the car. Instead, he asked him to park the car in front of the West Gate, which was empty.
At the West Gate, Zhou Chuanxin got out of the car like a lackey and opened the door for Xiao Ruxun. Then, he invited Xiao Ruxun out.
Xiao Ruxun got out of the car in casual clothes and punched Zhou Chuanxin with a smile.
"You played the role of a lackey really well, but I don't have a tip for you."
"Aiyo, Manager Xiao, what tip? You just have to support me more ~"
Zhou Chuanxin was still acting like a lackey. Xiao Ruxun laughed and did not say anything.
It was not Zhou Chuanxin or anything. It was just that Xiao Ruxun's performance was too outstanding.
He had just graduated for less than a year, and he was already a product manager in his uncle's company. It was not that he did not deliberately support him, but Xiao Ruxun's performance was too good, and people could not gossip about it.
Two months after entering the company, Zhou Chuanxin was still familiarizing himself with the work, business, and routine of life. Xiao Ruxun had already taken on two projects by herself, helping the product manager who was in charge of her share the work. She had done very well.
In the second work cycle, Xiao Ruxun left the guide and took on three projects by himself. There were no problems in the whole process.
Three months later, the three projects were successfully completed. His uncle was very happy and directly promoted Xiao Ruxun to product manager, and Zhou Chuanxin became his assistant.
Drinking and socializing with customers in their thirties, forties, and even fifties at the dinner table, and the CEOs of other companies. How was his performance like a college graduate? He was almost like a wily old fox!
Moreover, he was very talkative. His gestures were calm and steady. Whatever ancient poems, idioms, and allusions were at his fingertips. Zhou Chuanxin had no idea that Xiao Ruxun had such a deep foundation in Chinese history.
He was not good at drinking. At this time, Zhou Chuanxin's usefulness was reflected. He could drink a lot. He could drink five people at once and was not drunk. The combination of him and Xiao Ruxun was very famous in the whole company.
Towards Xiao Ruxun's performance, other than admiration, Zhou Chuanxin only had admiration.
He admired Xiao Ruxun's adaptability, quick response, and meticulous mind. He could always do things well and solve any problems quickly. He was also particularly good at dealing with people. No one in the company said that Xiao Ruxun was not good.
Unconsciously, Zhou Chuanxin had completely adapted to the role of an errand boy.
"I don't know if Old Xia and Old Wang will come. These two guys don't seem to be doing well. Old Xiao, really, you are the best. If I didn't follow you, I wouldn't be able to do it …"
Zhou Chuanxin smiled bitterly and felt a little lucky.
Xiao Ruxun patted his shoulder. "I just started. It hasn't even been a year. It's normal that you can't change. It's okay. There's unlimited hope when you're young."
Zhou Chuanxin smiled and nodded. He walked into the campus with Xiao Ruxun.
"Oh right, Old Xiao, I saw a lot of things in the back of the car. There's a lot of mineral water and several boxes of self-heating rations and canned food. It's stuffed to the brim. When did you become interested in these things? I remember that you're not a fan of military food, right? When did you start to like it? "
When they set off today, Zhou Chuanxin discovered that Xiao Ruxun had put a lot of these things in the trunk and back seat. He found it very strange.
"Oh, actually, I'm not very interested. It's just that these things are very necessary. They're convenient to eat, high in sugar and calories, durable, and easy to store. For convenience, I also bought a lot of canned food with a storage period of 30 years. They were imported from Europe. It cost me a lot of money. The people there believe in this."
Xiao Ruxun casually replied.
"Canned food …? What's that? Old Xiao, you believe in this too? I thought you didn't like to watch movies? "
"Yeah, what's so good about movies? Reality will always be more exciting than movies. Movies will never be able to capture the absurdity of reality. That's why reality is the most exciting movie."
Xiao Ruxun mysteriously grinned.
"Ah?"
Zhou Chuanxin did not understand what Xiao Ruxun was talking about.
However, Xiao Ruxun did not intend to continue talking about it.
When they arrived at the campus, the four roommates reunited. After attending the graduation ceremony, receiving their graduation certificates and taking a group photo, the four of them returned to the dormitory where they had lived for four years. Dormitory No. 6, fifth floor, dormitory room 5031.
"It's only been less than a year. It's really emotional …"
"Yeah, youth is gone forever. The carefree life of a student has ended just like that. Society is really hard to survive in …"
"I think so too. How long has it been since I started working? Look at my dark circles. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time."
One by one, the three guys poured out their grievances to each other. They wanted to pour out all the bitterness they had accumulated during this period of time and thoroughly vent it.
Xiao Ruxun did not participate in their grievance conference. He walked to the balcony alone and lit a cigarette. He leaned against the railing and looked at the students coming and going below.
Usually, he did not smoke much. Occasionally, he felt that smoking a cigarette could help him relax, calm himself down, and carefully think about what he should do in the future.
The sun was shining brightly. It was a good day.
Two months ago, the manned spacecraft that explored outer space returned and landed smoothly. The media publicized this as a great and successful exploration that would lay a solid foundation for future human settlement on outer planets.
Just as he was thinking about this, a buzzing sound came from the sky above him. Xiao Ruxun looked up and saw two black helicopters flying over his head and into the distance.
"Helicopters again? Speaking of which, I've seen helicopters more than once in the past few days. "
Zhou Chuanxin and the other two also walked to the balcony. Looking at the helicopters flying over their heads, Wang Sihai said, "It's flying so fast …"
"Of course it's fast. This is not an ordinary civilian or commercial helicopter. It's called a military helicopter."
"Military helicopter?"
Xiao Ruxun said a term that everyone was not too familiar with.
"Yes, military helicopter. As the name suggests, it's an armed helicopter. It's for the military and only the military can use it. Usually, it will be used when there's a relatively urgent mission. Of course, that's not necessarily the case."
"Military?"
The three of them looked up into the sky, their eyes full of doubt.
"There's no garrison nearby, and I haven't heard of any military exercises recently …"
"Hey, who knows? We don't know what's going on in the military."
"Ah … I took a day off today, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I really want to go to school! I don't want to go to work! It's really painful to go to work! "
Everyone stopped worrying about the helicopter and began to sigh about the beauty of going to school and the pain of going to work.
The three of them sighed with joy.
After a while, Xiao Ruxun's phone rang.
"Yes, Uncle, it's me. Good, has Chengnan started? Alright, take your sister and aunt with you and set off in 30 minutes. Yes, the gas station in the north of the city. Yes, I'm ready. I'll set off immediately. See you then. Don't worry, I'm safe. "
Then, Xiao Ruxun hung up the phone.
"Old Xiao, is that CEO Zhang? Do you need to go to a meeting? Why don't you turn on the projection? "
Zhou Chuanxin came up and asked.
"Meeting? No, no. Why would I need to have a meeting now? Oh right, Old Zhou, close the door first. There's a box under my bed. Drag it out and open it. "
Zhou Chuanxin did not understand, but he was already used to listening to and executing Xiao Ruxun's words. Now, he did not have any doubts. He frowned and went to close the dormitory door. Then, he dragged the box out from under Xiao Ruxun's bed.
"You really have it? Old Xiao, the luggage you left here? It can't be? "
"Open it and you'll know."
Xiao Ruxun took a puff of his cigarette and gestured for him to open the box.
Puzzled, Zhou Chuanxin opened the box and was instantly dumbfounded.
"Old Xiao … this …"
Wang Sihai and Xia Yong did not understand and went up to take a look. With one look, they were also dumbfounded.
"Old Xiao … this is …"
Xiao Ruxun took one last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on it without manners.
"There are four sets in total. Including me, one set for each of you. Put them on and get ready. We're leaving."
"Leaving?"
The three of them looked at Xiao Ruxun in horror.
"Old Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Old Xiao, what's going on?"
"Old Xiao, what's going on?"
The three of them had not figured out the situation yet.
At this moment, they heard a shrill scream.
Xiao Ruxun turned around and looked downstairs.
"It's already started? That's a little fast, but it doesn't matter … "
Then, Xiao Ruxun walked directly to the box and began to change his clothes.
The other three immediately rushed to the balcony. When they looked down, they immediately retreated in fear.
"Murder?"
"Riot? Terrorists? "
"Old Xiao! What's going on? Why is there … "
They looked back again and saw that Xiao Ruxun had finished changing and was fully armed.
"I told you to change your clothes. Hurry up. If you don't hurry up, I'll leave. I'll answer your questions on the way. Now, don't ask anything and change your clothes. "
There was an unquestionable command in Xiao Ruxun's tone. The three of them were at a loss and could only do as Xiao Ruxun said. They hurriedly changed their clothes and equipment.
The screams and noises outside were getting louder and louder. The same sounds came from inside the dormitory. There were cries and screams everywhere.
"No matter what happens later, follow me closely. That's the only way you can survive. Don't fall behind. If you do, I won't care. Remember."
The three of them were dumbfounded.
"Where … where are we going?"
Zhou Chuanxin looked at Xiao Ruxun nervously and trembled.
"Good question."
Xiao Ruxun grinned. "Sure enough, I used to think that this kind of life is not bad. It's easy. As long as I take care of myself, I don't have to care about anything. But now I realize that I really can't settle down.
Thinking about what's going to happen and the uncertain future, not only am I not afraid, but I'm very excited. I feel that this is my new life. Brothers, the world is going to be in chaos soon. It's the same as the chaos in ancient times.
It's just that in ancient times, it's people eating people. Now, it might be something else eating people. But for us, it's actually the same. Nothing has changed. There are opportunities in chaotic times. Although I don't know if my idea is too arrogant, I won't feel good if I don't try! "
Xiao Ruxun shouted and then opened the door of the dormitory.
"Old Xiao! You … What are you talking about? What do you mean by eating people? I don't understand! Where are we going?! "
Zhou Chuanxin grabbed Xiao Ruxun's arm.
Xiao Ruxun flung her hand and broke free from his grip.
"Restore the country!"
