In the city after the Spring Festival, the early morning is a lively scene.

Today is the second day of the Spring Festival, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, you can see a lot of firecracker debris and red lanterns on the streets. There is also an endless stream of people shopping, all of them are wearing new clothes, and they are beaming. Some are for the early gathering, and some are for the New Year with a family of three.

This year's unusually cold climate did not affect their enthusiasm, perhaps because TPC was able to solve it, and because the report of last night's Spring Festival Gala put them at ease.

In the early morning, Shimmer City drove into a modified off-road vehicle, on which Ye Yifan and four people were sitting. Yesterday Captain Tang agreed to give them half a day off, and originally wanted to pull Du Fei over, but the situation did not allow this, he still had a lot of preparations to do, after all, he was going to the North Pole tomorrow.

Because their identities could not be revealed, the four of them were still dressed in civilian clothes. After four months of training, they also learned to drive the vehicle, driving into the suburbs of Shimmer City from a high altitude, Ye Yifan sat in the passenger seat, holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand.

Qiu Xuanming didn't want to come, but the three of them pulled him over and said that he had to go today no matter what! Although the freshman was disgusted, he still sat in the back seat of the car in a regular manner, and his eyes kept looking at the scenery outside the window.

"TPC claims that yesterday GUTS was restructured and officially codenamed Neo-GUTS......"

The streetscape of Shimmer City is a lively and peaceful scene, with the big screen in the center of the city reporting the news of the formation of Neo-GUTS. Many citizens disagreed, after all, the corruption of the former GUTS is obvious to all, and who knows that this Neo-GUTS is not a new moth?

Some citizens are looking forward to it, after all, TPC has already declared the arrival of a cataclysmic period. Disasters are happening across the globe, and they are hoping that this Neo-GUTS will give them hope. It's just strange, why isn't there any information about the team members?

What Ye Yifan thought about was that in addition to what Du Fei said about protecting them, there was also their identity and age. If the citizens knew that the members of the Neo-GUTS team were college students, they would laugh at it, saying that TPC was not saved, and that it was up to the hairy boys to save the world.

The four of them are also a little concerned. They are also really not sure if they can protect the people and protect the world......

Outside the car window is a lively scene, but inside the car is heavy and oppressive. No one knows what horrific events will happen in the Arctic, and there is no certainty that death and sacrifice will occur.

Everything is your own choice, someone has to do it, this is the fate of the four. If he can really successfully solve the Arctic incident, he may be able to prove his strength to the world, and he can also respond to the sacrificed soldiers and Lu Jieyu's hopes.

"Darkness and light, both positive and negative." Ye Yifan looked at the white flower in his hand, and his mood was a little low. "There are a lot of things that you can't see, and someone needs to carry them. We are the chosen ones, and these things need to be done. ”

"I'm afraid of a useless death......" The hand of the high-altitude wind and cloud driving trembled slightly. When I think of the despair I am about to face, I think of Jie Yu. If she can't live up to the expectations of others, how will she live?

Qiu Xuanming and Han Qixuan didn't speak, they both felt the same way in their hearts. After a series of strange events and the imminent pressure, they feel very depressed.

The Arctic situation is already terrible, global temperatures are being affected, and what was once a good weather is now raining lightly. The rain slapped on the car window, which also made the mood of several people even heavier.

The car drove to a suburb. After the high-altitude storm parked the car, the four of them got out of the car. A cold wind mixed with a light rain kept lapping their faces, and they saw that the iron gate in front of them had four rusty characters - Luoguang Cemetery

As if in response to these heavy four words, the wind blew more violently, and it also brought a lot of sadness. The light rain was also dripping, and the watchdogs in the cemetery barked at them, perhaps because they were too dark for the dogs to be comfortable.

There is no New Year's celebration here, and there is endless sadness. Because not long ago, more than 20 tombstones were added here, a sad number.

He was very reluctant to face it, but Ye Yifan just calmed down his sad mood and said to the three people behind him, "Let's go......"

The three of them nodded, and they followed Ye Yifan to the depths of the cemetery. It's a quiet place, only the silly sound of raindrops hitting the leaves can be heard, and hundreds of tombstones stand in the rain, like heroic spirits guarding here.

The four of them came to a tombstone, and they looked at a black-and-white photo on the tablet with a smiling young man's face on it, and a row of words underneath - the tomb of his beloved son Lu Jieyu

"Happy New Year, Jie Yu." Ye Yifan silently put the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, and tears flashed in his eyes. "Thank you for what you have done to us, come here today, I have something to tell you."

The three of them took out the GUTS memory disk from their bags, and Qiu Xuanming was unwilling to take it out, facing Lu Jieyu's tombstone.

"We've joined the special department. Surely you can't think of it, right? This special department is Neo-GUTS......"

As they spoke, the three of them burst into tears. When I came, I said that no one was allowed to cry, and I wanted Jie Yu to see his glorious side, but, just, ........

"You could join Neo-GUTS with us, why, why is this fucking thing happening!" Han Qixuan wiped away a handful of tears. Sometimes some accidents will happen in life, and for this result, the three of them are naturally difficult to accept, depressed, and depressed.

But Jie Yu, at least he disappeared into the light. He was not seduced by the whispers and became a slave in the mansion of Lalaye. If the soul really exists, he must be sleeping in the hearts of several people. Give them encouragement and blessings in times of crisis.

In comparison, Jieyu must be very happy to see them join Neo-GUTS, right?

It's just that a person as bright as Jie Yu, even if he sacrificed, died in a heroic way after joining Neo-GUTS, and he didn't deserve to die of the bad luck that suddenly fell.

"Xuan Ming, go and say sorry to Jie Yu." Gaoqi Fengyun took a deep breath, and said indifferently to Qiu Xuanming without looking back. If it weren't for Jie Yu's sacrifice, he wouldn't have been able to join Neo-GUTS!

Call him over today to let him do it!

Qiu Xuanming snorted, slowly walked up to Lu Jieyu and said, "Brother Lu, thank you." ”

When the others heard this, they were stunned. This guy obviously asked him to apologize to Lu Jieyu, because it was his mistake that caused Lu Jieyu to sacrifice, why did he say thank you?

Because Qiu Xuanming felt that he really wanted to say thank you to Lu Jieyu. Thanks to his death, he was able to join Neo-GUTS and climb to such heights. He died and died, and since he died and gave up this position, Qiu Xuanming had to do better and better, better than him!

“NMD！” Han Qixuan burst into a foul mouth, he naturally knew what Qiu Xuan was meditating, but he didn't expect him to do such a rebellious thing in front of Lu Jieyu's tomb, so he was ready to teach him a lesson immediately.

"Qi Xuan! Forget it first......" Ye Yifan stopped Han Qixuan. After all, this is Jie Yu's tomb, and in front of Jie Yu, it is not good to have a conflict in front of him. But one day, Qiu Xuanming will receive the price he deserves!

"Senior sister, go ahead and talk about it." Ye Yifan pushed the shoulder of Fengyun in the sky, and it was better for her to end the sacrifice.

"Hmm."

Gao Qi Fengyun walked to the tomb with a complicated expression, looking at the confident and cheerful face in the photo, she held back her tears and held back a smile and said: "Jieyu, thank you, because of your existence, I can be lucky to survive." If you were still here, we probably wouldn't be so heavy. It's just that in this world, there are really a lot of regrets. ”

"We're going to the North Pole tomorrow, you're going to bless us, right? That's all there is to it, we have to go back to the base to sort things out, and come back to see you next time. ”

With that, the four of them prayed to the tombstone with calm faces, and they drove back to prepare.

After worshipping Lu Jieyu, the stones in the hearts of several people were also put down. They can also concentrate on going to the North Pole to carry out missions, but the San value is too low, and I don't know if they will endure it when they come into contact with abnormal powers......

The way back was Ye Yifan's car, and after driving into the city, he felt that there were still some things to deal with. Glancing at the time, there was still some time before the regulations, Ye Yifan stopped the car, went to the market to buy some gifts, and drove to a route that was unfamiliar to everyone.

"Yifan, where are you going? Buy so many things...... You don't want to see your partner, do you? Gao Tianyun thought of that lovely girl, and she was the only one who could make Ye Yifan ignore the rules.

Speaking of that girl, Qiu Xuanming's figure was shocked again, he rubbed his nose inexplicably and looked out the window, his expression looked a little unpleasant.

It's just that Ye Yifan shook his head and said, "No." I want to go to Jieyu's house to see ......."

Jie Yu's family. Hearing this, the sky above the wind and clouds did not speak. Worshipping Jie Yu was heavy enough, and she really didn't know how to face Jie Yu's family.

The rain on the road is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if it is mixed with wind and snow. The temperature was close to minus 30 degrees, which would not have happened in Shimmer City. This shows that the Arctic incident is urgent.

The car gradually drove into an old residential area, where there were traces of time. Telephone poles were scattered everywhere, and the cement of the houses was peeling off a little, revealing rain-eroded red bricks, and there were several cracks in them, and a patch of green moss grew in the cracks.

The windows are also very dilapidated, feeling that they will fall when the wind blows, and the surrounding vegetation has not been trimmed for a long time, directly shrouding this old residential area in darkness, like an ancient ruin that has not been developed for a long time, an old color.

Ye Yifan stopped his car in front of a residential building, and the others got out of the car with the gifts they had bought. I saw that there were firecrackers piled up in front of this building, and before I had time to clean it up, it was already soaked in the rain.

I've heard Jie Yu talk about the situation at home before. His father was a construction worker, and his mother was a salesman in a clothing store, not poor, but not wealthy, just an ordinary middle-class family, but this is not often seen in the developed city of Shimmer.

Several people entered the residential building, and there was no elevator inside, so they had to climb to the fifth floor where Jie Yu's house was located with gifts. Looking at the door with the white couplet, Ye Yifan's breathing intensified, and then he reached out and knocked on the rusty iron door.

"Who? I said don't come here to pay my respects this year. ”

There was an angry sound from inside the door, and then the door was opened, and a swarthy, emaciated man came out, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had been crying for a long time, and he had not trimmed his stubble for a long time, and he had no energy at all.

Seriously, seeing a man like this, Ye Yifan, who has always been introverted, didn't know how to speak, and Han Qixuan said for him: "Hello uncle, we are Jie Yu's trainees at the same time, and I came here today to see you." ”

The man looked at them, he sighed deeply, and said weakly, "Come in......"

Hearing this, several people also entered Lu Jieyu's house. The first thing they saw when they entered the door was a big black and white photo placed on the table, it was Lu Jieyu, and there was a freshly lit incense stick underneath, and the light of the candle was swaying in the wind, like crying.

It's obviously the New Year, but this family doesn't have a little New Year's atmosphere. The decoration of Lu Jieyu's house is not good, it looks like it has not changed for more than ten years, the furniture in the living room is very old, and the wall is a little painted. The corners of the room were piled up with condolences from TPC, but they were never dismantled.

"Originally, Jie Yu could be like you, but it's a pity that his life is not good......" Father Lu sat on the skinless sofa and smoked, he didn't have the heart to pour tea for a few people. Several people also understood, after all, they had suffered such a big blow.

The four of them bowed to Lu Jieyu's portrait, and Ye Yifan then said to Lu's father: "We just went to worship Jieyu's grave. He's a very enthusiastic guy and we got a lot of help from him in training, but we didn't protect him when accidents happened...... I'm sorry uncle. ”

"What's the use of being sorry? He's already gone......" Father Lu's eyes were red and he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, he didn't say anything to a few people, just opened a door. "Jie Yu's room, go take a look."

could feel Lu's father's grief, and several people also entered Lu Jieyu's room. They found that the room was cleaned neatly and much better than the living room. There are also a lot of photos inside, as well as some models of airplane rockets.

Ye Yifan grabbed a photo casually, which was the gate of Shimmer Aviation University, and Lu Jieyu was looking at the camera with an excited face.

"Jieyu is very obedient and filial, his dream when he was a child was to be an astronaut and make some contributions to the country's aviation industry, he is our pride." Father Lu stood at the door and said that he didn't want to step into this room.

Ye Yifan just wanted to speak, when suddenly a woman walked over, she looked at a few people in the room, and then looked at Father Lu and said, "Who are these people?" ”

"They were Jieyu's trainees at the same time, and they came to visit us."

As soon as Lu's father finished speaking, Lu's mother couldn't stop her anger, pointed to the noses of several people and scolded: "You still have faces? ”

"Auntie, I'm sorry, we didn't protect him well....... Several people hurriedly apologized to Lu's mother, but Lu's mother couldn't hold back, crying and yelling: "What's the use of being sorry?" I'm sorry, will my son come back? He's only eighteen years old! He is so obedient, so good, and can have a good job, why did he just leave......

"Why is it not you who died, but he who died? You pay back my son, and you pay back my son......."

Lu Mu suddenly knelt on the ground and cried. The high-altitude wind and clouds hurriedly helped her up from the ground, and Ye Yifan could feel how heavy the departure of his children was for his parents.

Looking at the collapsed Mother Lu and the decadent Father Lu, Ye Yifan's mind was very chaotic. Is this the heaviness of death, the price of glimpsing the truth?

A cold wind blew in his heart, and an indescribable strangeness surged into his brain, and in a trance, Ye Yifan heard a whisper again:

"People feel that you can bring hope and light. In fact, you come from the darkness, and if it weren't for the change in the world, you would still be living in darkness all your life. ”

"You're joining Neo-GUTS, and it's going to be an interesting turning point, because because of who you are, people will look forward to you, worship you, because they think you're going to save them, and you think you're going to be redeemed."

"But you're wrong, and people will soon spit on you and hate you. for you will bring calamity, because you will not be able to save them. ”

"This is the new era, the storm is coming, I'm interested in what you'll do........"
