In everyone's life, there will be countless choices.

I always think that the most important thing is freedom and death, birth is not important, because birth can not be chosen at all, the two important things that can really choose are freedom and death, freedom means whether you will be happy, and death means whether you can get rid of it.

Because of my inexplicable choice, the entire C2 area was disrupted.

The choice of career, the pursuit of freedom, the definition of love, and the perception of oneself......

With my rebellion, the people who have been locked in the giant hall for 300 years after the earth catastrophe have gradually lost their innocence and willfulness after hundreds of generations of survival and rules.

The planned economy is certainly the best state for the survival of the planet, but once the economy and materials reach a certain state of peace and stability, people will pay more attention to the pursuit of self and freedom.

I invited Mr. Li, who had been sleeping for a long time, from the dormant warehouse, and it took Abin and me more than a dozen rounds to tell Mr. Li the ins and outs of the past few years.

Mr. Li came to preside over my final parting party.

I came to the laboratory in advance, stood in the center of the research institute, looked around so familiar that I could feel the environment of where and where I could close my eyes, and watched the west wall come and go for 300 years, thousands of photos were printed on the whole wall, and my photos would be hung on the wall soon, in color, not black and white. On the far left of the photo wall hangs the largest one, next to the name: Hadwig! Hedwig is a native of German descent who, during the surface period, held key positions in the Max Planck Society and Bell Labs in Germany, and is also the founder of the current C2 Research Institute, the earliest scientific research institute has no official number, named after Hedwig's wife Ida.

After the earth disaster, even if the countries of the world jointly built this huge surface giant temple engineering system, but the uneven division of labor and uneven distribution of benefits within human beings led to years of war, with the dilution of several generations, it was found that there was no hope of returning to the surface of the earth, so they negotiated peacefully and established a joint government to jointly govern and operate the entire northern and southern hemisphere giant temple system network. Date Lab was also renamed as the C2 Regional Research Institute.

I looked around, more reluctantly, as if I could imagine that Hedwig had single-handedly founded Date Lab and named Date in honor of his beloved wife, but he had no choice but to change the name to a digitally dehumanized name. But this name, for me, is an inseparable friendship, here are the people I know best, after my parents left, here are the family who took the most care of me, they taught me physics, chemistry and life, they taught me everything, but now I am leaving them.

After wandering for a long, long time, Brother Zhang walked in with Teacher Li in his arms.

Soon, Abin, Lin, Edward and all the other personnel came in one after another.

Mr. Li didn't seem to be as energetic as before, and said with a slight tremble: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force them, ambitions are in all directions, and heaven and earth are great." ”

Everyone was very quiet, I don't know if it was because of my reluctance to leave, or because of the regret for Mr. Li's aging body.

"Since Ajiang has chosen to join the army, I am the first to agree, the most terrible thing about people is not failure, but the most terrible thing is that they can't face their true self. I have been through a time of disaster, a time of reconstruction, a time of tribulation, a time of alien invasion, a time of unification...... After 300 years of life, I know very well that the world has taken care of me, and no matter how great my body is, I can't bear the metabolism of the world, I'm old, but 300 years of life have only taught me one thing: do it if you want to, don't hesitate. "Teacher Li seems to be talking about me, and it sounds like she is talking about herself.

"I was carried into our scientific research institute, at that time it was called Date Laboratory, I woke up lying on the operating table operated by Hedwig, I woke up shocked Hed in a cold sweat, Date was also by his side at the time, Date was very beautiful, and then I did all the previous heads of the school except Hed, and finally I personally sent away Date, Hed, Hedwig Jr., Anthony, Hase, Zhang Kaiguo, Lin He and other previous heads of the scientific research institute, but only today I am happy, do you know why?" Teacher Li trembled slightly, spitting out a word by word, and said, "Because today I sent away a living person!" ”

Everyone is quieter.

"I know that you are reluctant, you are still afraid, afraid of how the work will be carried out later, there must be some of you who are cautious, thinking that the next person in charge will be me." Teacher Li pointed to all the people in the laboratory one by one and said, "Why do I know? Because I have experienced many generations of partings in the laboratory. ”

Mr. Li is full of feelings, and I am also ashamed, under Mr. Li's arrangement, I will also arrange various handover tasks in the laboratory.

"Liu Li!" I shouted Liu Li's name, "I now appoint you as the 13th person in charge of the C2 District Research Institute......"

Before I could finish speaking, I was stopped by Liu Li.

"I'm sorry, I can't be the person in charge, I have applied to District D for repatriation, and the General Administration Office of District D has approved it, and the official approval will be delivered in the near future." Liu Li's departure, I didn't hear any news.

I looked at Teacher Li, and Teacher Li said, "Lin! ”

"Teacher Li, I can't." Lynn replied softly.

"Why can't it, except for Ah Jiang, your actual ability in the laboratory is far ahead, why can't it." Teacher Li seems to have run out of patience.

"I'm sorry Mr. Li, I can always be a data analyst, I can't carry the burden of being in charge, let alone ......" Lin wanted to speak and stopped, but Mr. Li didn't urge too much.

"I'll do it." Abin took the initiative to stand up and said: "I, Abin, have no ability to be the person in charge of this laboratory, but I don't think it's a way to choose a temporary choice today, but I, Abin, grew up in the laboratory since I was a child, and I am surrounded by my relatives, and I also made a vow early on not to leave the scientific research institute until I die." So I can take over the position for the time being, and when the scientific research institute has a leader with superior ability like Ajiang to lead us, I will relinquish my position. ”

This is undoubtedly the best choice, and I was about to agree, but there was applause around me, and it seemed that I had acquiesced to the result.

"Okay, I'll hand over the application for appointment immediately, and the official approval will be considered as a post, but there is one thing, although Abin is my righteous son, if he has any outrageous behavior, everyone can report it and punish him severely." Teacher Li looked at Ah Bin.

After the handover of the scientific research institute, I seemed to be vacant all of a sudden, and at this juncture, I officially realized that my decision could only be borne by myself.

I sat on the steps at the door of the laboratory, and Liu Li walked up to me, leaned against me and said, "Ding Tongjiang! Your days are still long, and the future is also very long, so there will be a period later! Before it was my turn to say hello, Liu Li turned around and waved her hand and left.

Liu Li's back is fresh and elegant, confident and free, in fact, I know better than anyone else that if I wasn't in the C2 area, Liu Li would have applied for a transfer out of the C2 area very early.

Lynn also came over, Lynn was slightly older than me, but I always looked at Lynn as a sister.

"I heard, well, the army, anyway, you take care of yourself anyway." Lynn's language has become disordered.

I didn't say anything, but put my arms around Lynn, hoping that she would be able to take a break from her father's death, and since his father's death, Lynn had rarely spoken or smiled.

Abin came over, saw me hugging Lin, didn't say anything, coughed a few times, and Lin pushed me away tightly.

"Abin! Good brothers! I shouted to Ah Bin, and the two brothers hugged each other.

"Ah Jiang, don't worry, I am here in the scientific research institute, I will surpass you!" Abin seemed to be full of confidence.

The road out of the research institute seems to be very long, so long that there is no end, Brother Zhang sent Mr. Li back to the dormant warehouse, and Oss accompanied me.

Step by step, we walked slowly and slowly towards the square, slower than a snail.

"Officer Zhang and I also applied to be accompanied." Oss said something rarely.

"What? Oh my God. You are really a blessing that I Ding Tongjiang III cultivated, with you two or so protectors, I Ding Tongjiang will definitely go over the mountains and seas, and enter the heavens and the earth. "I was worried about my life in the army, and Os's words cleared me all my worries. Oss is the double champion of the 5th District Special Forces shooting and melee fighting, and Brother Zhang is also the overall champion of the youth martial arts competition. With these two Dharma protectors, what do I have to worry about in my military career?

Oss and I walked on the pointer road, looking at the giggling crowd, Oss seemed to be more energetic than before, Oss followed me in the past few years, it was also aggrieved enough, no skills were revealed, I even doubted whether Oss and Brother Zhang really had stunts, or bragging. Then I don't understand even more why the Supreme Linkage Government would send such two masters to follow me for a few years, and now they are following me into the army. I was still young before, and I was attacked, and I thought that sending someone to protect me might only be temporary, but I didn't expect Brother Zhang and Oss to become more and more friendly with me, at least Brother Zhang replied to me: There is no good errand to go back to the police station, it is better to follow me, after so many years, I also have feelings, and I want to have an easy errand.

But this time I joined the army, and they took the initiative to accompany me, which once again ignited my doubts.

I tentatively shoved a punch into Oss's back, but Oss didn't move, just tightened his muscles, and I was slammed back by the hard wall-like muscles behind my back, but fortunately I couldn't hold the chicken, otherwise my arm would have to be broken.

"There's still a little time left before the transfer, and you're going to have to do physical training from tomorrow." Oss looked back at me and said.

"Officer Zhang and I serve as your coaches, if you really join the army, with your current physical fitness, you will be eliminated in the first round." Oss became serious, his expression calm.

"Okay, Champion Oss, I know." I was listless, apparently I hadn't been taken out of the environment of the Academy.

"I'm serious, joining the army is your own choice, if you are eliminated in the first round, there is no place for you in the scientific research institute, everyone in the C2 area will look down on you, even Liu Li will look down on you, Lin will look down on you, Abin will look down on you, even me and Officer Zhang will look down on you, this is your own choice, you have to bear it yourself." What's wrong with Oss today, tirade is not like his style, is it that when he returns to the army, he returns to his main battlefield, and he is excited about it.

Liu Li! I really heard these two words, although I rejected Liu Li on my adult day, but there is no doubt that Liu Li occupies a very deep space in my heart, and I can't dig it away and fill it up.

Imagine the contest between men in the army, and I still have a great affection for it.

But if I imagine a war, a war with a foreign race, a war with an alien civilization, a war with the rebel forces on the surface, and especially a war with a natural catastrophe like my father, I can't feel it any better.

After the catastrophe on earth, the unprecedented emphasis on science and the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations were put in the first place, which also led to the continuous disruption and wars of extraterrestrial civilizations, and frequent space battles; Because of the extreme living environment on the surface, there are constant wars between various dungeons and alliances of various groups, and even rebel forces have repeatedly endangered the linkage government. Disasters on the earth's surface, the uncontrollable and unpreventable wormholes, the increasing activity of the sun, and the frequent occurrence of various natural disasters.

Over the years, the human beings in the giant hall have been able to survive in peace, in fact, it all depends on the death of soldiers like their fathers on the day of birth, and for the stability of the earth, how many people have dedicated their entire lives.

This may be the reason why I have to make such a choice for some reason, imagining the body that Lynn's father carried back, imagining the total annihilation of Captain Juventus, imagining the state of my father's disappearance and not being heard from since.

In the last days of the Great Palace, I made the most important plan in my life.

"Let's go back." I shouted Oss.

Go back, go back and get a good night's sleep, the physical training is the scariest thing later......
