Chapter 1 Wedge

It's noon, and the sun is hanging high on the zenith.

Under the strong sunlight, the snow on the top of the mountain reflects a dazzling light, and the world at the foot of the mountain is also desolate. There are no forests here, and there are no animals, only the bare earth.

Everything here was like this four hundred years ago or even four thousand years ago, but people now can't remember what it is called. Some people say it was once called the Pamir Plateau, and some people say it is also called the Pamir Plateau. There are many names about it in the long river of time, and the stories about it are as brilliant as the galaxy.

At that time, humans dominated the entire earth. They owned this world and bravely marched towards the universe. The smart brains of human beings played with various resources, which made human development progress by leaps and bounds.

There are countless planes sailing in the sky every day. They do not know how tired they are to compete with the gravity and rotation of the earth. The electricity makes the night in the city no longer dark, and even standing on the moon, you can see colorful lights.

But one day four hundred years ago, a small cold and a terrible flu swept the world at a speed of lightning. The speed of spreading is scary. Just one sneeze can destroy the health of everyone in the entire building.

The fear of unknown things has long been imprinted in the human genes. The virus has caused great panic in society. This panic has become a riot, but this riot is accompanied by endless deaths, and the army has been seriously infected. No government can do anything about this.

Death is equal to all, whether civilians or presidents, beggars or rich people.

In the end, in the 100 days after the virus appeared, less than seven percent of the world's population existed, which was equivalent to the population in the sixteenth century.

Many people say that history is always improving, but with the sharp decline in population, history has begun to regress truly, productivity declines, resource allocation is seriously unreasonable, and the entire society seems to have degenerated to the 16th century.

Cold weapons have become mainstream weapons, and smelting technology and handicrafts have once again received great attention.

The regime and land were re-divided, some people called emperors, some people called kings, and some people still maintain modern civilization and claim to be presidents, but no matter what the political structure is, there will always be someone around these rulers who help them deal with dark affairs, and such people are called dukes.

Duke, we will land in ten minutes.

A soldier walked out of the cockpit. He was wearing a black uniform, with a silver flower button on the collar, and black leather boots under his feet making a clattering sound when walking on the floor. There was no more noise in the cabin except for the cold sound.

The woman, known as the Duke, also had the same black uniform, but unlike others who were meticulous in wearing the clothes, she loosened a button on her chest, revealing the base white shirt. The tie that should have been tied on the shirt was also thrown aside, and her black military cap was also abandoned next to the tie.

Although the dress is casual, the woman's every move is still unconcealed. The match for her nobleness is her beautiful face, which is not the ultimate beauty, and is enough to make people remember it. But what attracts the most attention in these facial features is her black eyes, which is as dark as a lake that cannot be seen, as if you can see the vast universe by passing through this lake.

It is hard to imagine that such a young woman is the Duke of this Lingyun Land: Luo Yin.

Hearing the soldiers' report, Luo Yin was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly put the black sunglasses on the tea machine on his face, and gently lifted the curtain on the side of her sofa in a corner. The strong sunlight pierced into the cabin like an arrow, illuminating a part on the floor as bright as gold.

Luo Yin looked down the window and saw that there was only a small red building between the white snow-capped mountains. She knew that it was the destination today.

Close the curtains and take off your glasses, Luo Yin still kept the slow look just now and said: Don’t rush down, circle for a while.

Luo Yin's words stunned the soldier, but the Duke's order could not be disobeyed, so he immediately turned around and issued the order.

Oh, my Duke, are you trying to spare their lives again?In the corner of the plane, a woman broke the original quietness in the plane. The woman was wearing a fiery red fur coat, with thick fur collar from top to bottom to the hem. Compared to Luo Yin's casualness, she seemed to be the most out of place.

Miss, they are always your people. I'm afraid that Your Excellency the President doesn't want to take their lives at will, right?Luo Yin was only focused on his energy from the scattering. She stared straight at the woman in red, with a little contempt in her eyes.

I’m afraid I haven’t even seen planes in remote areas, and the taxes a year can’t afford the overnight light money in the capital.

The woman lowered her voice, looked at the ring in her hand, and no longer looked directly into Luo Yin's eyes.

As the woman in red said, this place is remote, with heavy snow and deep mountains everywhere. No one wants to go in, and no one can get out so easily.

This place is also in a magnificent place. Not to mention the capital, it takes ten days and half a month to go to the nearest city. Not to mention the train, I am afraid that the car will not be seen several times after living here for half a lifetime.

Luo Yin also knew this well, so he let the plane wander at a low altitude and intimidate four miles.

Of course, it was not until the plane landed that Luo Yin realized that such a deterrence was useless, because people who did not know that weapons naturally did not know that weapons were tools for killing people.

welcome!welcome!Warm welcome!……welcome!welcome!Warm welcome!

Luo Yin has visited many places instead of the president, and the welcome forms are different, but it was the first time she had been welcomed by a group of children wearing tattered school uniforms holding hay and wild flowers.

She glanced straight into her eyes. The children stood in front of her, with the brightest smile on her red faces. They looked at Luo Yin's plane with an uncontrollable excitement. Behind the children were adults with numb expressions. The expressions on their faces could not be said to be curious, let alone happy, and they did not understand Luo Yin's world.

Why are people so different from each other clearly living in the same land?

What the hell is this?

The woman in red complained and ran into the cabin again without looking back.

Miss?Looking at the woman running back, the young soldier was a little at a loss.

No matter her.

Luo Yin said, and she did not look at the woman in red from beginning to end.

Since he was ordered, he was not allowed to perform official duties. Luo Yin put his hat on his head, tied the buttons on his uniform, and took the soldiers toward the center of the village where there was the person they were looking for.

The empire eagle, the dominant dog, the land forever... Forever... The old man knelt on one knee, pressed his right hand on his heart, and raised his left hand high to reveal his palm, which indicates his obedience and harmlessness. He muttered in his mouth the words given to him by the mayor three days ago. Unfortunately, the old man is nearly eighty years old and his teeth are almost gone. Not to mention the words he has memorized so long, even normal speaking has problems.

The eternal guardian of the land, the releaser of hell, the great and selfless duke of the people.

Luo Yin also recited the respect she had heard tens of thousands of times, and even a child could recite it in the realm of Lingyun.

Village Chief, do you know why I came?Luo Yin stood in front of the old man and let the elderly man kneel.

You should know that in this primitive and simple world, respecting the elderly is the most basic morality, and Luo Yin's rudeness naturally attracted people's low voices and complaining eyes.

I... don't know.

The old man lowered his head deeply, but at the same time he raised his left hand vigorously. The mayor had told him that if Luo Yin did not pat his left hand lightly, he would keep kneeling.

Luo Yin naturally ignored the weak arm. She walked past the old man, took a light step, and slowly circled around the old man.

Village Chief, give me the flowers, and the people in your village can live in the nearby city without having to live in the ice and snow.

Luo Yin said sincerely, but she was cold by nature. This statement from her mouth was more like a coercion and temptation.

Sir, this flower is just a legend. I really don’t know.

The old man refused again.

It's Ah, our village chief said he doesn't know!You are...Ah!A tall man in the crowd said half a step forward, but before he could speak, a soldier in black squatted in the face with a butt, and the other soldiers also raised their guns.

Look, village chief.

Luo Yin squatted down and looked at the old man in a straight line: If you hand over the flowers, everyone will be fine.

Sir, this flower is a legend passed down from generation to generation in our village. I have lived here for 80 years and have never seen what this flower looks like. When the old man saw that Luo Yin’s people really had to take action, how could he not be anxious? He didn’t care whether Luo Yin asked him to get up now. Instead, he pressed his hands on the ground and kept kowtowing.

I believe you don’t know about this flower, but the flower is in this mountain. Luo Yin looked at the mountains in the distance, and there were white snow everywhere. The snow had accumulated for thousands of years. After entering this snowy mountain, I don’t know how many people could come out: If you can’t give it to me, then I’ll ask the people in your village to help me...

Luo Yin didn't say anything, and felt his feet tremble slightly. Looking at the distant mountain, it seemed like white but a little different. It seemed that layers of waves were aroused. As the ground tremble increased, the white top of the mountain seemed to become more and more exciting. Even though you could see the broken snow flowing down from the mountain, the vibration getting bigger and bigger, and finally the snow waves were as powerful as thousands of troops.

It's an avalanche!

Someone among the villagers exclaimed, and everyone suddenly realized that the villagers who were originally afraid of the guns of soldiers in black did not act rashly suddenly became in chaos, and those soldiers who were on high alert could not stick to their posts before such a disaster. For a moment, the small village exclaimed in surprise...

Run Ah...!

Protect the Duke and retreat!retreat!

Find a place to hide, hurry up!quick!

Take the Duke onto the plane...

Oh my God, the mountain fell down!

Whether Luo Yin finally got on the plane was not important. What was important was that the village called Meiduo did not fly out that day, or the village called Meiduo disappeared on the map of Lingyun Realm.

This place without forests, without animals, and with only bare earth, as if nothing had happened, was no different from four hundred years ago and four thousand years ago.
