Choice 1.3 Chapter 19 - Meryl's Fate
Su Tianzong nodded and looked at Snake: "You already asked them for Meiling, right?" ”
"That's right, but ......," Snake said, glancing at Meryl, omitting Campbell's name, "They said they needed to ask for advice before they could decide on this." ”
"Then let's continue what we need to do, ...... next" Before Su Tianzhong could finish speaking, Snake said, "I'm going to go to that Dr. Hale Emmerich, but I don't know which way to go from here." “
"I know there's an outlet on the ground floor of this building that leads to the north." Meryl replied that she was familiar with it.
"What is the level of that door?"
"Level five, but it's okay, I've already got a level five ID card."
"Okay, I'll go save the doctor first. You ......"
"I'll go with you!" Meryl replied quickly
"No, you don't have any experience at all, you should find a place to hide."
"Nope! I'm already experienced. Meryl said firmly.
"It's useless to say, you really don't."
"......" Meryl was silent.
Snake said solemnly: "As long as you hesitate for a second in front of the enemy, everything is over, you can't always be so lucky!" ”
Meryl said with a somewhat depressed expression, "I don't know how this happened, but I really can't pull the trigger right away." I've never had a problem with training...... But as long as I think that the bullet I shoot will take the life of someone else, I ...... I hesitated......"
"Shooting at a living person and shooting practice at a range are completely different." Snake said unceremoniously.
"When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a real soldier...... Over the years, I've worked my mind and body, hoping to one day take part in a real fight, but now ......" Meryl seemed a little disappointed in herself, and she watched the ground grow quieter and quieter.
"What's going on now? Want to give up? Snake asked rhetorically.
"I can't just give up, I can't tolerate myself holding back." Meryl looked up and said in an affirmative tone.
"It's good not to give up, as long as you persevere, there is nothing that can't be done." Su Tianzong said with a smile.
"Hmm." Meryl nodded.
"Listen to me, Meryl, killing someone for the first time is a terrifying experience for anyone, and unfortunately, there are some things in this world that are easier to do, and killing people is one of them." Snake explained very carefully, and he began to impart his experience: "The most terrible side of human nature is revealed on the battlefield, and guilt is not thought of at that time. ”
"But it's not a war, it's just a terrorist attack...... Meryl said.
Snake let out a breath and said slowly, "Now you're just a little nervous because of the thrill of fighting, and you'll be fine when the adrenaline level in your blood goes down, relax......"
"I've learned these theories in the military academy......" Meryl whispered, pursed her lips.
"It's not too late to discuss this kind of issue later, so let's think about how to save your life first."
"If I had made it out alive, I wouldn't have thought about it again."
"Okay, let me explain my life...... Don't get in the way. Your job is to live, and following me will only cost you your life. ”
"Haha...... It seems that what her uncle said ......" Meryl's expression darkened, remembering her unreliable father. She said slowly, "It seems that my father is right, you are indeed a bastard. ”
"Well, I told you a long time ago that legend and reality are two different things." Snake shrugged and said, Meryl mentioning Campbell, making Snake feel bad as well.
"Two, we have limited time, let's continue the mission. I'll talk about what's next for Snake. Su Tianzong interjected.
"You're really a prophet, aren't you?" Meryl looked at Su Tianzong with strange eyes.
"Of course, I've said that several times, ahem...... Snake, you'll come across an infrared gas tunnel and enter a snowy field where a guy who calls himself Deep Throat will contact you and tell you that it's a minefield and that there's a tank waiting for you......"
"Wow...... You're no different from a god. Meryl swept away her previous sluggish mood and began to laugh at Su Tianzong.
Snake said lightly: "Meryl, I thought this guy was more than a god stick as you thought before, but everything he said was witnessed by me." ”
"So powerful?" Meryl looked at Snake in disbelief.
Snake nodded seriously and said, "This kid's prophetic name is well deserved. ”
"It's not that bad...... Just know a little bit more than you know. Su Tianzong said with a smile.
"Okay, then talk about ......" Meryl had just started talking when she was interrupted by Su Tianzong: "Stop, I know what you want to ask." ”
"Huh?" Meryl didn't react.
"But I can't tell you." Su Tianzong spread his hands and said.
"Because you don't have the strength yet, knowing what's going to happen in the future will only make your situation worse." Su Tianzong Goldman Sachs said unpredictably.
"Humph! No, it's not good, and you don't want to tell me......" Meryl pouted, her look of disdain already revealed.
Snake spoke at this time: "His meaning is actually very clear, you will be fine, you can get out of here alive." Telling you is going to make things worse. ”
"Is that so?" Meryl looked at Su Tianzong.
"Almost." Su Tianzong raised his eyebrows and said.
"Well, I believe it, don't lie to me! Now I'm leaving, go and open the exit for Snake. Meryl said unhappily.
"Meryl, don't do anything dangerous." Snake warned.
"Maybe you're right, okay, Snake, I'll be obedient." Meryl said with a smile.
"That's good, we'll turn around after we find the doctor, and then we'll think of ways to stop the nuclear launch."
"Understood, but, listen to me, I'm more familiar with this place than you, you can call me at any time if you have any questions, oh yes, we have a mind communication, feel free to ask me."
"You have to be careful, you know?"
"I'll let you know when the exit opens." With that, Meryl turned and walked out of the cell.
Snake looked at her departing back, especially the hips that swayed from side to side, and said, "She's going to be fine, right?"
Su Tianzong lowered his head, leaned against the wall and said, "No, something will happen to her, but this is the best chance to teach her a lesson, otherwise she will never really grow." ”
"Understood" Snake pulled out a cigarette and stuffed it into his lips, "When the time comes, you tell me what to do and try to minimize the damage she takes." ”
