Chapter 132: An Army of One Man (7)
"Is this cold-blooded?" Lu Xun shook his head, "I just made a reasonable inference, weighing the pros and cons from the perspective of gains and losses, trying to minimize losses and achieve the greatest returns." If Zhao Gao can die with the Night King, the Academy's losses will be minimized, and if he can't kill the Night King, then the survivors and the rescue team will be in danger. โ
"The Colonel used to say that a lot." Belle leaned back in the chair and looked up at the roof of the car, "He always taught us to learn to abandon the car to protect the handsome man and break the wrist, decisively abandon the burden at the critical moment, and stop the loss to the greatest extent." โ
"That's right."
"I know it's right." The girl nodded, "But I can't learn...... I've never been a bold person, and Anna used to laugh at me for having a phobia of choice. โ
"Director?" Lu Xun was stunned.
"A few years ago, Anna caught two rabbits, and she offered to give me one as a pet, but the other was about to be injected with the doomsday virus as a laboratory animal, and she asked me to pick one and go. I squatted in front of the cage and hesitated all afternoon, not knowing which one to take, so I told Anna that I wanted to come back tomorrow morning after a night. "When I went back to the library the next day, I saw only the ashes of two rabbits. โ
"If you had made a decision at the time." Lu Xun said, "You can save at least one." โ
"You know the." Belle pouted, "Do you know why there is a phobia of choice?" Choosing who to have is easy, but choosing who to give up is difficult, I was squatting in front of the cage all afternoon, and I actually decided which one I really wanted in a second, but it took me an afternoon to think about whether to give up the other. I knew that if I chose one of them, the other would be injected with a doomsday virus and burned to ashes in a high-temperature incinerator, how could I make a rash decision? โ
"Anna always said that decisiveness is a necessary quality for a mature man." Belle stuck out her tongue, "But what does that have to do with me?" I'm not a man, I'm just a girl...... And I don't like people who seem to be decisive in killing, like the colonel, who judge everything only by pros and cons and lost gains, and weigh human life on the scales as a weight, aren't such people monsters? โ
Belle Nicanor said this with the freedom and willfulness of a little girl, and she leaned back in her chair, holding an Anizo heavy sniper rifle in her arms, her dazzling pale blonde hair scattered over her shoulders.
"Zhao Gao said before that I was a." Lu Xun said suddenly.
Belle was stunned, she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, and frowned.
"Holy?"
"It refers to those who are tolerant of unprincipled bottom lines, forgive others, care and reason for everyone, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and actually can't do anything." Lu Xun whispered, "Later, I thought that what he said was actually right, I am a virgin, and I always trust others unconditionally and unprincipledly, so I have never doubted Zhao Gao's motives, I thought he would not harm me, nor would he harm anyone in the academy...... But the Holy can't live in this world, and the reason why I haven't died until now...... It's because Lemon died for me. โ
Lu Xun's voice trembled.
"I had nightmares at night, I saw her jumping from the roof of the building on that rainy night, I chased after me, I couldn't catch up, I saw a pitch black, bloody monster coming out of Lemon's body, she turned around and smiled at me, crying and laughing, her tears were black blood...... Then I woke up. Lu Xun muttered, his head covered in cold sweat.
"Later I thought that if it weren't for saving me, Lemon wouldn't have died at all, and if I hadn't been so stupid, then she should still be sitting here fine by now. So many people persuaded me to stay away from Lemon, saying that if I got too close to her, it would not end well, but I didn't believe it, I didn't believe that there was anything destined in this world...... What a jerk I am. Lu Xun grabbed his hair, and his voice began to choke, "I thought that she might be lying in some cold, dark and damp corner now, with no sunlight and no one to mourn, and rats were biting her body and clothes......"
Lu Xun can't go on, what's the use of talking about this now?
No matter how much you weep and regret it, those who have left will not come back.
Lu Xun remembered that when he and Lemon were assigned to a group to carry out the mission, the girl sat in the passenger seat next to him, holding a long knife in her arms, stunned, and always asked some inexplicable strange questions...... For example: "Lu Xun, why don't you say the moon is square?"
"Lu Xun, why is there only one moon in the sky?"
"Lu Xun, how many stars did you say there are in the sky?"
"Lu Xun, how far away do you think the sun is from us?"
Land Patrol? Land Patrol Land Patrol Land Patrol Land Patrol? Do you know about the Land Patrol?
Such a cold girl...... Why are there so many idiot questions? Are you a hundred thousand why? Why is the moon not square, please ask the moon to go, how many stars are there, how far is the sun, you ask the sun to go...... The sun is above you, you can see it when you look up, please don't interfere with my driving, okay?
โฆโฆ Oh.

Belle wanted to comfort Lu Xun, but she didn't know what to say.
She had been to Lemon's grave, and there was only a very small monument, which was not conspicuous at all, and it was exactly the same as the girl's style.
Belle didn't see Lemon for the last time, so much happened that rainy night, everything was too sudden, Belle and Ariana were hunted by the Sirens, she didn't have the time and energy to take care of the others, and the girl in black sat down in front of the Colonel's corpse when Belle saw Lemon for the last time, her back drenched in the torrential rain.
Belle looked at the heavy attack mecha in front of him, and Rehe sat lazily on the arm of the mech, his back against the hatch of the mech, his two long legs down, and a dogtail in his mouth.
The misty drizzle fell, and Rehe did not hide, he raised his head, and his pale golden forehead hair was soaked by the rain and stuck to his forehead.
The whole city was shrouded in a foggy rain curtain, and the ruins in the distance looked like a mirage on the clouds.
Belle thought of the colonel who was taken captive and did not know his life and death, Zhao Gao, who went behind enemy lines alone, Lemon who died tragically without bones, the middle-aged man who drove in the forbidden area and made a risk, and all the survivors who were struggling in this world. They tried their best to find a glimmer of hope in this dark world, with sweat, blood and life.
If this is an era destined to be remembered, then who will remain in whose memory?
Belle pushed open the door, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at Reich's head.
Rech was smashed and almost fell.
"Holy! Belle, are you sick, why are you smashing me? Rech jumped up and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth.
"It's raining idiot! Don't know how to hide from the rain? Belle glared.
She suddenly wanted to cry out loud.
