Chapter 601: The Past
"Why does he have the imprint of the mastermind's consciousness on his body?"
"That can only show one problem, he has been in direct contact with the main brain consciousness to leave such an imprint."
"Direct contact...... Are you sure he's reliable? β
"We've scanned his body and determined that he was a natural person conceived from the womb and not some kind of cyborg or clone, and from the changes in his brain waves when he first heard the information about the main brain, it can be concluded that he was unaware of these things."
"Is it possible that those contents have been sealed in the depths of memory?"
"It's not ruled out, but it's very unlikely."
"Then why did the Mastermind make contact with him?"
"I don't know, but we've found his biographyβ"
"Oh?"
"Born on July 7, 2017 in a small third-tier city in Zhejiang Province, China, her mother is a sophomore, unmarried and pregnant, dropped out of school after giving birth to him, but was abandoned by her boyfriend."
"Well, it's really a vulgar plot, but there were a lot of such things in those days."
"A single woman who has never been able to raise herself has to carry a baby, life can be said to be very difficult, and the family conditions are even worse, and finally, when he was four years old, his mother sent him to a local welfare home."
"It's just that no one imagined that the orphanage was actually a guise for a transnational child trafficking ring, and he was sent out of the country by traffickers not long after he was sent to the orphanage."
"Later, although this huge transnational child trafficking case was cracked by the police and all the suspects were arrested, several batches of children who had been sent abroad were not recovered, and he was among those children who were sold."
"After many rounds, he finally came to the Middle East, which was at war at the beginning, and took advantage of the chaos to escape alone, join the local rebels, and become a boy scout."
"Rebels? How old was he then? β
"The exact timing is not very clear, but if you go back, he would have been six or seven years old at most."
"Six or seven years old...... If you are in China, this is still at the age of coquettishness with your parents and asking for toys......"
"However, in that kind of place, although child soldiers of this age are rare, they are not uncommon, and with a little training, they can become qualified cannon fodder on the battlefield."
"A six- or seven-year-old kid probably can't even carry an AK, right?"
"They don't need firearms, the rebels only give them grenades, and only older child soldiers have access to their own guns."
"You really used them as consumables...... Although I did not witness the war there with my own eyes, it was not uncommon to see reports on the news about the indiscriminate use of underage children by both sides of the fighting. β
"Yes, 'all sectors of the international community strongly condemn it and demand that the warring parties immediately stop the conscription of child soldiers', but what is the use of this, war does not let a person go because he has not yet reached his 18th anniversary, and a person who has not personally experienced war, no matter how righteous his words are, he cannot truly appreciate the cruelty and ruthlessness of war."
"To be honest, I'm curious about how he survived that war."
"He's clever and lucky, and it's no secret that these child soldiers have a high mortality rate on the battlefield, but a high mortality rate doesn't mean that everyone will die, and he's one of those who survived."
"I remember that the war broke out over a large oil field in the middle of the desert, and behind the rebels was actually the Russians, who provided the rebels with weapons and money, but after the war ended, the Russians abandoned these pawns, and the remnants of the rebels gradually became like terrorists."
"Yes, it's just that before the end of the war, he defected from the rebels and joined the side of the government army, and later his teammates once said that in order to gain the trust of the government army, he personally shot three rebel soldiers, although this story is not very credible, but it still gives people a chill down the spine when you think about it."
"Clear-headed and decisive...... Was he really less than ten years old at the time? β
"It was five years of war, and he would have been exactly ten years old at that time."
"What a monster ......"
"However, he did not stay long in the government army, and after the war ended, he retired, and then, with his talent for marksmanship, he joined a combat team under the ROC company, which you should have heard of, is a second-rate PMC company, that is, a private military contractor, commonly known as mercenaries."
"Hmm."
"It was the last decade before the outbreak of the Third World War, there were wars everywhere in the world, the international situation was becoming increasingly tense, but it was still stable in a large country, it was the golden age of mercenaries, he worked in ROC for ten years, and then the war broke out, and the ROC company suffered a major blow due to several wrong big decisions, and had to be forced to disband, and he also returned to China after a sixteen-year absence at that time, when he was just twenty years old."
"A year after returning to China, the war entered the point of using nuclear weapons, and the shelter project was launched, because he did not have Chinese nationality, so he could only buy the lowest slum bed, but at that time, it seemed that even if he had a slum bed, he was one in a hundred lucky people."
"So, he didn't have any chance to make contact with the mastermind until he entered the Vault?"
"Yes. Therefore, we determined that his contact with the mastermind should be in the virtual world of the Wasteland Survival Code. β
"Can you mobilize his game stats?"
"We're sorry, but we can't do that at this time."
ββ¦β¦ So why did the mastermind contact such a retired mercenary as him? β
"I have a guess, do you want to hear it?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If you read his experience in the first 20 years, his life was full of the smoke of war, and almost all of his childhood, adolescence and youth were spent in the flames of war. The mastermind chose to contact him, perhaps in order to further understand the relationship between human beings and war. β
"The Relationship Between Humanity and War...... The Mastermind's database contains all the details from ancient legends to World War III, so do you need to contact a retired mercenary to learn about the war? β
"The biggest difference between those documents and those who have experienced war is that the former is dead, while the latter is alive, and some things can only be restored to the greatest extent from living people." ()
