Chapter 266 The Wedding in Three Days
The destination of this group of marchers was the Dilian headquarters building, and Duan Ming was among them to see the defense of the Dilian building.
An hour later, the marching crowd arrived at the headquarters building of the Ground Federation. People surrounded the building. Outside the building, soldiers of the Ground Federation were guarding there with loaded ammunition.
"It is our freedom to enter and leave the Earth freely! Give us our freedom!"
The slogans were shouted loudly, but they were just slogans. Duan Ming did not expect such a group of ordinary people to do anything passionate.
After finding an opportunity to slip out of the parade, Duan Ming went to the cafe nearest Dilian and found a seat by the window.
Five minutes later, a deafening siren sounded. Behind the marchers, nearly a hundred trucks came. The total number of officers and soldiers who got off the trucks should be nearly a thousand.
"I'll give you five minutes to get out of here! After five minutes, shoot to death!"
People do not fight against officials. This concept has long been formed in the minds of ordinary people. Seeing so many soldiers holding firearms, the marching crowd immediately dispersed, leaving only less than a dozen young people. Still holding the placard, he stood there with a determined look on his face.
Duan Ming's fists clenched slightly. He knew that what awaited these dozen people next would most likely be death. Duan Ming, who was also a commoner, couldn't bear to see this happen.
Just when Duan Minggang was about to stand up and rush out, a figure blocked his way.
"Don't forget why you came here."
The person who blocked Duan Ming was none other than Xiao Hong, who had followed and protected Duan Ming all the way. There was still no emotion in his voice.
Being reminded by Xiao Hong, Duan Ming felt like he was enlightened and resisted the idea of rushing out. During this brief hesitation, gunshots rang out outside the cafe.
The dozen or so young people marching there who were standing there before had now turned into corpses.
"You were able to save them just now, right?"
Duan Ming lowered his head and asked Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong didn't hide anything and replied.
"Yes, I have many ways to save them."
The moment Xiao Hong finished speaking, Duan Ming suddenly raised his head, grabbed Xiao Hong's collar, and actually pushed Xiao Hong to the corner.
"Are you so cold-blooded? Those are dozens of living lives! Are you so indifferent!"
Xiao Hong did not fight back, but just let Duan Ming tighten her collar tighter and tighter.
"Someone once taught me a saying, death may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."
"Bullshit! It's all the same life! How can there be any difference between a mountain and a feather? This is just an excuse!"
The soldiers outside the cafe had already left in trucks, and the streets that had been bustling just now were now calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps feeling that he was indeed impulsive, Duan Ming let go of his hand and whispered.
"Feel sorry."
Xiaohong just adjusted her collar and did not respond to Duan Ming. The two sat in the cafe again and each ordered a cup of coffee.
"What exactly did you show to the officer on the passenger ship? Why did he let us leave respectfully after seeing it?"
Xiaohong took out the green notebook from before and threw it to Duan Ming.
Duan Ming took it, opened it and took a rough look, then he was stunned in place! This small notebook was a certificate of identity, with Xiaohong’s photo on it. There was no name, but Duan Ming never expected his position and affiliation!
"Member of the Earth Federation Council!"
As if seeing Duan Ming's shock, Xiao Hong explained: "This was prepared for me by someone before we came to this world. He said that we might use this certificate during this trip."
Hearing what Xiaohong said, Duan Ming fell into deep contemplation. He vaguely felt that everything he was experiencing now seemed to be under the control of others, and he was like a chess player. The chess pieces seem to have everything they want, but in fact they are following the path calculated by others.
Looking up at Xiao Hong, Duan Ming asked: "Who asked you to protect me?"
Xiaohong's answer was no different from the first, just two short words without any meaning.
"Someone."
On the way back to the hotel, Xiaohong stayed with Duan Ming, but there was not another word between the two of them.
"Now here is the latest news. In three days, the chairman of the Earth Alliance will get married, and the heads of the major families in space have been invited. This station will continue to bring you the next reports."
An announcement suddenly sounded on the roadside, making Duan Ming stop in his tracks.
Looking up at the big screen on the street, there is a photo of a young man who looks to be in his early thirties. He has a majestic appearance. Even if it is just a photo, you can see that he has the aura of being a man who has always lived in the world. The momentum of a high position.
Next to this man, stood a girl with a resentful expression. This girl was none other than Tang Yaqing!
Perhaps sensing Duan Ming's mood swings, Xiaohong subconsciously took two steps forward and raised her hand to hold Duan Ming's arm.
"Don't be impulsive, we still have three days."
It has to be said that this scene feels familiar to Duan Ming. Back on the Nigu Star Port, Duan Ming learned the news that Tang Yaqing was about to be forced to get married. Later, at the wedding, Duan Ming The scene of rescuing Tang Yaqing.
Everything is so similar now, but the enemy has changed drastically.
The Cheng family is just a middle-class family, and Duan Ming is facing the most powerful person in the entire human race! Not to mention, the other party is a superpower!
Thinking of this, Duan Ming felt that this was a task that he could not accomplish at all.
"Do you think I am a very failed person? Watching my woman getting married to someone else, I can only stand on the street and do nothing."
Duan Ming said self-deprecatingly, and Xiaohong replied.
"Yes, you are indeed a failure now. If you become depressed because of this, it will only make me think you are more of a failure."
Duan Ming's back looked a little lonely as he left. Xiaohong frowned slightly. It was the first time he saw this man like this.
Back at the hotel, the insect girl was already lying on the bed and fell asleep. Her injuries had not healed well, and her sleeping posture was really "domineering". She actually occupied the entire double bed by herself.
"What are you going to do next?"
Hearing Xiao Hong ask this, Duan Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"I would rather die than dare to dethrone the emperor!"
