Chapter 340: The Aftermath of Shuijing City
Chapter 340: The Aftermath of Shuijing City
Seeing that his grandson understood what he said, Zheshui finally breathed a sigh of relief. His hunched body straightened up a little. He waved his hand and said to the people present:
"We have indeed faced an unprecedented disaster in the alliance, but I believe we will eventually get through it. The dawn is waiting for us, and the will of the alliance will last forever!"
"The will of the alliance endures!"
The officers seemed to be inspired by Zheshui's words. They stood up one after another and shouted loudly along with Zheshui.
Of course, Shota is also included in this category, but only he himself knows whether his intentions are true or false.
This meeting ended with Zheshui's passionate speech. The officers seemed to have received support from some kind of force and walked out of the haze of repeated failures.
For Shota, this couldn't be better. In this way, Daigo's positive power would be consumed, allowing the power he had hidden in secret to continue to develop.
Thinking of this, the corners of Shota's mouth inevitably curled up a little, which of course was noticed by the careful old fox Zheshui, but fortunately, Zheshui did not doubt Shota. After all, unless he was a god, he could guess what Shota was thinking at the moment.
Otherwise it would be like this: He said to Shota:
“Don’t hold back your excitement. Get excited when you need to be excited. Smile. Smile in advance for our future victory!”
"Smile in advance for our future victory!"
Looking at the grinning officers and listening to Tetsu's words, Shota finally couldn't help but smile.
If the demons described in the Bible really existed in the world of Pokémon, then he would definitely find that his own kind was smiling at him at this moment, and that smile looked much more evil than his own.
After the meeting, Shota got what he wanted and took the command of the surviving old acquaintances in Shuijing City from Zheshui.
In the temporary tent of the second commander, several officers from Shuijing City were on pins and needles, because Shota had brought them here for quite a while, but he hadn't said a word.
Just when the officers thought they would remain silent, Shota spoke to them:
"Don't be so nervous. I took you from Elder Zheshui not to accuse you of anything, but to give you a chance. Now you have to answer whatever I say. If you answer wrong, you will lose this opportunity."
Hearing Shota's sudden words, several officers from Shuijing City looked at each other, but they all saw expectation and greed in each other's eyes.
One of the officers immediately raised his hand and spoke like a primary school student:
"Commander, tell me, I will answer everything I know honestly."
Seeing their colleagues immediately offer flattery, the other officers from Shuijing City immediately responded:
"And I!"
"Me too!"
It turns out that the method of giving someone a beating and then giving them a sweet reward is always effective.
Shota looked at the officers who were trying their best to answer his questions, thinking this in his heart, but he said this:
"Quiet!"
Under Shota's whispered reprimand, the officers calmed down, sat up straight like elementary school students, and waited for the teacher's questions.
After thinking for a moment, Shota asked:
"Are you the only ones coming from Shuijing City?"
As soon as this question was asked, someone stood up and answered:
“I know this, including the fact that they all came. The evidence is: I have secretly investigated when these dozens of old grandsons will leave, in case I leave too slowly and don’t even have water to drink.
Unfortunately, we all underestimated the strength of Daigo's regular army, but fortunately I survived and was able to meet you today. I am truly blessed."
Having said this, the officer showed a smug look to his colleagues.
"Damn it, I was photographed by this guy again."
The other officers from Shuijing City thought so.
However, Shota didn't care about their words and thoughts. He just continued to ask:
"Are you sure they are all dead except you?"
As soon as Shota finished speaking, an officer stood up and said:
“Ahem… I can be sure that they are all dead, because I luckily survived the war, went back, and visited every one of their families. Ahem… Originally, I wouldn’t have been here, ahem… But these bastards.
Alas, I didn't expect there were women who liked them and complained to them, so I was transferred here again. But fortunately, I reported their army truthfully. Ahem... Now, there are only a bunch of women in Shuijing City except for a few elderly men who are responsible for sweeping the streets slowly. "
At this point, the officer coughed violently for a while, then smiled obscenely and said to Shota:
"Commander, if we can make it back alive, I will definitely introduce you to a few good ones. Their suction power is simply amazing!"
After saying this, the officer started coughing violently again under the hateful looks of the other officers.
Shota looked at this guy whose face was as pale as paper, and he didn't know what to feel because he had nothing to say.
"Okay, that's all for the interrogation. I'm very satisfied with your answers. You all have your chance. Follow me and attack north tomorrow. Remember not to be late."
"Yes!"
"Cough cough..."
The meeting ended abruptly, but he actually thought he had gotten the information he wanted.
It seems that there is no need to send people to Shuijing City to deal with the remnants. We just need to kill these guys tomorrow morning.
However, Shuijing City still needs to make the best use of its resources. Thinking of this, Shota took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket and began to write on the table.
After wrapping the paper in an envelope, Shota walked out of the temporary tent. Using instant teleportation, he left the military camp silently.
Zijin City, this once prosperous city has now become dilapidated.
The tall buildings of the past are now in ruins, and the streets are littered with broken bricks and rubble.
However, when we turn our eyes to the wilderness outside the city, we can see a different picture. Although it has also suffered a certain degree of damage and destruction, the power of nature has enabled this land to still maintain its tenacious vitality.
In the wild, the grass is green, the trees are lush, and the flowers are blooming.
The stream flows gently and the water is clear, as if telling people the tenacity and indomitable spirit of life.
Wild Pokémon roam freely in this relatively safe area. They seem to be unaffected by the ruined city and continue to live their own lives after the great disaster.
And those villages scattered in the wild have become the light of hope for people's survival.
These villages may be simple, but they are shelters for people from wind and rain.
After the disaster, the villagers, led by elite members of the Lightning Team, worked hard here, planting crops, raising livestock, and striving to maintain basic living needs after the disaster.
And under the leadership of the elite members of Team Lightning, the villagers are working hard to learn about Pokémon, train Pokémon, and fight for the leader in their hearts named "The Head" and for their common ideals and goals.
