Chapter 23: The Hero's Wife

A military helicopter enters the world's only international city, Shangdu, and looks down from the helicopter, and below is a sea of lights, even the night sky cannot hide the brilliance of this place.

A huge stereoscopic projection in the sky plays a two-hour promotional video of the city around the clock, indirectly interspersed with several advertisements.

It was a city that only developed in the past 20 years, and in a very short period of time, it has developed into a rare Tongdu Dayi in the world.

It is only because of the space elevator in the center of the city that goes straight into the sky that this city built on the equator has a capital that will not be forgotten by the world.

The space elevator is a symbol of mankind's leap out of its home planet, an epoch-making leap using graphene technology.

"Ikaruga No. 1 calls the command tower of Shangdu International Airport, and Ikaruga No. 1 calls the command tower of Shangdu International Airport, requesting priority landing, repeated requests for priority landing, please reply if you receive it."

"This is Shangdu International Airport, the apron is empty, the turtledove 1 is allowed to land first, the airway has been indicated, please follow the system instructions to land, please reply if you receive it."

"Turtledove 1 received, entered the fairway, prepared to land, over."

Starting from Ikaruga 1, the accompanying two escort helicopters circled in the air, and a special helipad at the airport slowly rose from the ground, and several special police officers stood around the apron to maintain order.

Anos unbuckled his seatbelt, got up from the passenger seat, and went to the passenger compartment behind him.

"Lebert, did you have a good trip?"

"It's okay, it's a pity that there are no flight attendants, it's a pity."

"Then I'll try to make up for it next time."

"No, no, this kind of thing is enough once!"

Anos and Lebert looked at each other and smiled, and there was a vibration from the helicopter, which was a signal that the landing was complete.

"So, Lebert, your mission officially starts from this moment, I'll give you an explanation, don't be nervous, this mission is related to the safety of all mankind, I hope you can do your best to deal with it, Mr. Alwin will give remote instructions, understand?"

Lebert took a deep breath, he knew that this mission to Mars was important, but only then did he realize that he was still underestimating.

It's about all of humanity, heh, if you want to stay nervous any longer, he guarantees that the robot can do it.

"So I can't say no now, can I?"

Arnos smiled and nodded.

The cabin door opens, and a team of SWAT officers appears outside the door ready to hand over the handover, and this is the end of Anos's mission.

"I can only send you here, good luck, and don't let down Mr. Alwyn's opinion of you."

"Good luck!"

Lebert got off the tarmac, and the Turtledove 1 took off again, the huge power fans on both sides gave the helicopter the ability to fly up, and soon the Turtledove 1 disappeared into the night sky.

Lebert suddenly stopped, feeling the fresh and cool air unique to the night in Shangdu, and watched the turtledove No. 1 leave.

He muttered to his lips: "Mr. Alwin, you have given me the opportunity to fulfill my dream, and I will not let you down, all of humanity!"

"Sneeze" Erwin rubbed his itchy nose, presumably with a cold, and stood outside the house, begging Lisa for forgiveness.

I don't know how many times he didn't fulfill his promise, but he had no choice but to sit on the rocks by the sea and wait quietly for Lisa to come out to meet him.

"Sir, we can arrange other accommodations for you, your health is important!"

An EA gives Alvin a napkin, and it's worrying that it's cold at night at the beach and it's easy to catch a cold.

"No, I want Lisa to forgive me, a cold is a small thing in comparison." Alvin said stubbornly.

"Sir, we have a spare key, you can go in first and talk to Madame slowly."

EA handed Alvin the spare key in his hand, but Alvin took it and put it in his pocket without the slightest intention of entering the room.

"It's a remiss on our part to do this!"

"I'll tell him when Anos comes back, remember that this is my order, you are carrying out my order!" Elwin's tone was very firm.

The lock on the door of the Ocean View Villa was opened, and Lisa appeared in front of the door frame, staring at Alvin very indifferently.

"Come in and talk!"

Lisa dropped a word and turned back to her room, the door opening and closing in the sea breeze.

"Go and rest, and let me know at once if there is anything, without delay!"

"Yes, Mr. Alwin."

The EA members have left the seaside, they have more important things to do, and the defense of this island in the Pacific Ocean has been completely transferred to EA.

They want to prevent any security issues and manage the behavior of internal personnel.

It has been the focus of media around the world for a month, and countless people want to know the latest news about the alien fleet.

Once a media outlet has been informed firsthand and published from there, there is no doubt that that media outlet will get everyone's attention.

Now three groups of reporters have been found on the island.

One group was in an aerial helicopter and wanted to secretly photograph the layout of the International Astronomical Observatory, but as soon as they approached the nearby sea, they were so frightened by EA's RPG that they gave up control of the helicopter and obediently returned to land to be detained.

The second group wanted to obtain clear images of the island by hacking satellites and trying to decipher the information uploaded by the internal staff.

Just an hour later, before they could break through the first layer of firewall, they were already facing the wall with their heads in their arms.

It has to be mentioned that the last group, this group went out to sea by boat, wanting to sneak in from a dangerous but unnoticed channel.

Unfortunately, they ran aground, and luckily they managed to float under EA's nose in a severely overloaded lifeboat before dying of thirst, and made it to the island's detention cell.

Judging from their confessions, they just want to go home at the moment, drink rum, and then report the thousand and one nights that the boss and the mistress have to say on the Internet.

However, given that within a year, the Internet must be insulated from them, so the interrogating EA suggested that they write a book and send a hardcover copy to their boss's wife when they return one day.

Alvin sat at the table, on which were nutritious and easy to digest, but he didn't dare to open the meal, looking at Lisa sitting across from him in disbelief.

"You're not angry?" Alvin asked weakly.

"Angry, of course angry!" Lisa made no secret of her anger.

"Listen to me, I really can't leave, I didn't mean to break my word!"

"Won't you have a fresh explanation?" Lisa said irritably.

"I'm just telling the truth, if I leave, I'm wasting all of humanity's time, and I have to look at the big picture." Alvin explained.

"Let's eat, it's specially prepared for you, I don't know if you will come back tonight, I've already eaten."

"Okay." Alvin obediently picked up his knife and began to cut the egg bread on his plate.

Lisa didn't disturb Alvin eating, but she didn't make any moves, just kept staring, which made Alvin feel uncomfortable.

"Would you like to eat more?"

"No, this is for you."

Alvin didn't ask again, Lisa wasn't necessarily someone who liked to push, she would never change her attention, she was very decisive and assertive.

Lisa waited for Alwin to finish off the last bite of food, carefully put away the cups and plates, put them in the automatic dishwasher, and wiped the crumbs off Alwin's chest.

"Lisa!"

Alvin snapped, pulled the spare key from his pocket, and gently placed it on the table and pushed it to Lisa.

As before, the key is kept by Lisa at all times, and if Lisa is upset, she can leave him out of the door.

Lisa was stunned for a moment, but did not pick up the key.

"Lisa, I'm sorry I was wrong!"

"No, you're not wrong, you are responsible for all mankind, your words and deeds are right, you are saving everyone, and your wife is among them." Lisa shook her head and said.

"Then you're not wrong, since you and I are not wrong, why can't we resolve the conflict?" Alvin stood up, and she grabbed Lisa's shoulders and said with grief.

"You're not wrong, it's me who is wrong, you're a hero, but I'm not a hero's wife, a hero's wife can give up a lot, but I can't."

Lisa got rid of Elwin's hands, and she turned her back to Elwin, not wanting him to see what she didn't want him to see.

"No, I'm not a hero, I'm just a little person who needs to be taken care of by his wife to live a decent life!" Alvin retorted.

He wanted to change Lisa's mind, otherwise he and Lisa would only drift apart.

"Knock knock~" The knock on the door sounded at an extremely inopportune time, and at this time, the only person who came at this time could only be that there was a problem with the work, and he had to ask Alvin to solve it.

Alvin didn't choose to open the door because he couldn't move his pace, and he didn't want to stay away from Lisa.

"You don't have a choice, you have to be a hero, if you can't lie down in flowers and applause and bask in glory, then I may hate you more, but I am by no means a hero's wife!"
