“…… After two days of intense investigation, the Eye of Unity yesterday issued a report certifying that the commander of operations in the South American Division, Helis ? Major General Ivanova did collude with the illegal gang Argentine Natural Science Council to plan and create the tragedy in Buenos Aires for the purpose of personal revenge. Ivanova has already been killed in the explosion she made, and whether the Milan tragedy has anything to do with the major general is still under investigation......"

- Evolution Herald

Three days later, in the middle of the Atlantic, on the high seas, 50 nautical miles away from the mixed fleet of the League-Cavalry on humanitarian rescue missions.

The calm sea was suddenly broken, a white wave cut the turquoise water, and then, the white wave was cut by black metal, and a small black submarine appeared in the vast sea

This ACA-standard "Barracuda"-class reconnaissance and special delivery submarine is the most built and widely used submarine of the ACA, it is equipped with two groups of four torpedo tubes, which can launch heavy torpedoes, and at the same time, it can also be equipped with special sonar, reinforced radar, and even manned delivery modules as needed.

In terms of submarine technology, the gap between the Alliance and the ACA is almost as great as the gap between the ACA and the Alliance in space technology - for similar reasons, the ACA's reverse study of the cylinder of prehistoric civilization obtained by the ACA far surpasses that of the Alliance and submarines of the same class in submarine technology. ACA's quiet cruising speed is almost equal to the full speed of the alliance, a special coating that actively reflects the background sound of the seabed allows ACA's submarines to cause sound black holes even if they are parked in the sea, and ACA's submarines can be attached to the external armor that can allow the submarine to withstand an extra heavy torpedo without affecting the basic parameters, and the decoy missile technology is far ahead.

As a result, the Alliance's submariners once had a death rate of more than 85%, and the name of the submarine iron coffin was not mentioned until recent years, thanks to the Alliance's reverse research, but it is said that the next generation of ACA's submarines is about to come out.

And that's why. Anderson was so grateful to Han Fei for helping him escape.

The sound of metal grinding was heard. The hatch was opened from the inside, and a lieutenant colonel in an ACA naval officer's uniform climbed out of the submarine, followed by a black figure.

"We'll be there soon. Mr. Ling Yu. ”

The captain is young. It's about forty years old. politely pointed to Ling Yu in the direction where the task force was located, "This qiē is finally over." ”

Ling Yu nodded. The three days really made him feel a little uncomfortable - first he was rescued by a submariner, and then the three of them fled to a military shelter under the leadership of the submariner, avoiding the attack of the cloud burst bomb, and then, taking advantage of the night, the four of them sneaked into the port, and as soon as they were like a drill, Ling Yu and the three of them were thrown onto the submarine.

Ling Yu had considered whether to return to May Square directly, after all, relying on the ability of the three TFs, plus the battle had stopped, it was not too difficult.

But the captain warned them that this attack on Helis was completely planned by the conservatives, and the conservatives might still have cloudburst bombs in their hands, and Ling Yu, or Helis, showed up at this time, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be driven out.

The submarine captain is very realistic - the ACA will not mind wiping out the base in May Square with a cloudburst bomb, the big deal is that the diplomats continue to talk about it, anyway, this is the back garden of the ACA, there is a kind of knight alliance you form an expeditionary force.

Obviously, if the expeditionary force had been useful, then South America would have been liberated long ago.

So Ling Yu just contacted Logan on the secret channel, explained the situation, and then asked Logan to inform Payne that he was ready to accept an uprising submarine, plus to meet on the fleet at that time, but there was no matter of Tikhris.

After that, Ling Yu got on the submarine, and it was not difficult to escape, and after going through several layers of anti-submarine networks that were obviously tight on the outside and loose on the inside, this submarine that was not valuable in itself drove in the direction of the task force.

"Yo, Ling Yu, come up and breathe."

Before the captain finished smoking a cigarette, Jessy's voice came, and after politely greeting her, Jeunse walked to Ling Yu's side and took off the communicator on her ear.

"I still can't believe that this qiē was done by Ren Xiu." Jesse shook her head lightly and looked at the captain of the submarine, "He's plotting against an ACA submarine. ”

"It was 'one man' who rebelled against a submarine, Lady Jesse." The captain smiled faintly, "Ren Xiu told us that he is a spy who does not have zài, he is not online, he is not offline, and he may not even be in the files of the Secret Service, so this is why we have been waiting for an opportunity." ”

"It's a pity......" Jiesi nodded and sighed softly, Ling Yu knew that it was because of Ren Xiu's death, but the young man shook his head and showed an inexplicable wry smile.

"Then I'll go back, you can stay here for a while, we shouldn't need to dive until we reach our destination, this is already the air defense identification circle of the task force, even if it is discovered by the ACA, they will not rashly attack us."

The captain stretched, apparently only a cigarette in his spare time, and then nodded and left.

"So, what are you going to do next?" Jiesi took the headphones and lay on the railing like Ling Yu, looking at the sea under the starry sky in the southern hemisphere, "About that little major general." ”

"What else can I do? When she got to the mothership, let Captain Payne arrange a plane, and she could go wherever she wanted. Ling Yu shook his head slightly, looking a little helpless, "As long as you don't go to the battlefield again." ”

"With her ability, there is a lot more she can do besides going to the battlefield." Jiesi nodded, stretched out her hand and put it on Ling Yu's shoulder, "She hasn't been in a good relationship these days. ”

"You can still see her love, it's amazing." Ling Yu made a joke that didn't have much nutrition, "It's because of the Black Code." ”

"Hmm. At least she still has a conscience, and she can't sit idly by and watch the massacre of civilians. Jeunse smiled lightly, "I'm glad she's still a child at heart." ”

"Ordinary children, may leave a psychological shadow, but there is no way to do it, if there is no adventure, probably can only wait for time to slowly heal" Ling Yu sighed, and when he said the word 'adventure', he subconsciously glanced at Jiesi. But quickly looked away. "That's why I hate young soldiers, unlike adults with wolf hearts and dogs, childhood will determine a person's life."

"I've seen that file." Jesse nodded slightly. can be regarded as agreeing with Ling Yu's point of view. Then the subject changed. "You're doing the right thing, that file, it's better to destroy it now."

"Destroy it or don't want it." Ling Yu was silent for a moment and gave his choice, "After all, that's evidence that Herris has existed, no matter how cruel the truth is, at least it's much better than a sweet lie." ”

"But you're lying to her?"

"It's not a lie," Ling Yu took a deep breath of the salty and wet sea breeze, and then expelled the air in his lungs, "It's just a matter of choosing whether to sue her or not." ”

***

"You kid still know to come back, I was already wreathing you in the May camp when the cloudburst bomb exploded."

"I won't die if you die, so you might as well keep the wreath for yourself."

On the helipad of the escort aircraft carrier "Vatna", the flagship of the task force, Logan punched Ling Yu in the chest as he got off the helicopter, and then hugged Ling Yu - in his opinion, Ling Yu's immortality was still full of accident and luck, so it was also worth celebrating.

"Jeunese cherub! ~~~~ You're worried about me! ”

Linya threw herself into Jessy's arms and welcomed her in a sweet and greasy voice.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and make you something to eat." Jesse smiled softly, then peeled the flaxen-haired girl off herself.

However, in the next second, the smiles on the faces of Logan and Linya froze.

Helis was still wearing the extremely inappropriate pair of snow camouflage power boots, she was wearing a silver cloak, standing quietly about a meter away from Ling Yu, nodding lightly with a slightly nervous look, and said hello to Logan and Linya.

"What do I say, Ling Yu, don't do anything to little Lori, otherwise I will despise you for the rest of my life."

As if realizing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Logan stepped forward, patted Ling Yu's shoulder, and made a mocking gesture with his thumb down.

"Come, Helis." Jeuncy glanced at Linya, then turned around, reached out and took Helis's little hand, leading her to the crowd as if it were two people who were going to compete with the little girl that day.

"Linya, everything is ready." Ling Yu stepped forward and spoke.

"Well, this is Helis's new identity, and there are some simple luggage and some generic coins," Linya turned around and picked up a bag on the deck behind her and handed it to Ling Yu, "Captain Payne promised not to say anything. ”

Ling Yu nodded, and took the package - a major general of the ACA defected, if this matter fell on the side of the alliance, Helis would not have any peace for most of the rest of his life, unlike that round political animal Andorra, Ling Yu would rather believe that Helis wanted a slightly quieter life.

"This is yours," Ling Yu placed the package in front of Helis, then half-squatted down, stretched out his hand and flipped the hood of Helis's cloak, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "Where do you want to go?" We arranged for the plane to send you, and I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to live well even if you are not a fighter. ”

Helis didn't speak, didn't have any expression, and even looked a little glazed, and after a while, Helis suddenly stretched out his hand with a small monitor in his hand.

Give that to me, okay?

Ling Yu's heart sank slightly, but he didn't speak.

That, Wen Jiàn, about the father, and me.

The previous text was deleted and replaced with a new one, Ling Yu's brows instantly locked, he turned his head, and Jiesi looked innocent.

Sorry I overheard.

Helis put on a new word, then reached out and pointed to the headset in Jesse's hand.

"Hah......" Ling Yu smiled softly and bitterly, then stood up. He shook his hand to stop Jiesi who stepped forward, and then took off the jacket that had been burned off the sleeve of his left arm, and took out the bag from the mezzanine.

"I won't lie to a child," Ling Yu stretched out his hand and gently helped Helis straighten his hair that had been tossed by the sea breeze, then took a deep breath and handed the bag with the Russian double-headed eagle badge painted on it to Helis.

The ...... "Hera" plan was launched...... July 12, 2151...... The institute moved to Buenos Aires......"

“…… From 1.12 million fertilized eggs that are dormant at low temperatures, the appropriate gene sequence will be selected and the gene will be recombined. In order to find the most suitable genome for TF evolution...... The basic goal: to manufacture two-series or even multi-series TF...... The ultimate goal: to restore the prehistoric human genome sequence. ”

“…… Four fertilized eggs were successfully retained alive after the modification test. On average, the genes of each fertilized egg come from more than 250,000 other zygotes......"

"Fertilized eggs 1, 3, and 4 died in the process of being cultivated into embryos, and zygote 2 survived, codenamed 'Heris', and later became normal humans after being catalyzed by the culture tank for fifty days."

“…… TF modification surgery was successful. 'Helis' basically has the ability to have a meat system TF......"

"...... 'Helis' does not have TF characteristics other than the surface xiàn meat system. We will assay the genome of the first test of the 'Heris' grade TF. And he was subjected to more and more real yàn-type TF modification surgeries, in order to popularize the gene sequence. Create more fighting entities...... Cloning was considered necessary. ”

“…… To sum up, Benshi yàn has basically achieved the original goal, mastered the possibility of manufacturing artificial TF in batches with high efficiency, and the artificial human technology has been successfully used. ”

***

Herris is an artificial human.

Ling Yu had guessed before that maybe Helis was the daughter of that researcher Ivanov, or a relative, but it wasn't until he saw this document that he understood this cruel truth.

Herris didn't even have parents at all.

She is a combat weapon that has been ruthlessly crafted for the purpose of fighting.

Ling Yu knew what kind of place his father had in Helis's heart—many of the paintings in the cultivation chamber depicted a father with a daughter.

However, this is the truth, the father in her memory, there is no zài at all.

Even the name, Herris, is synonymous with a weapon type, not a human name.

So, who is she and where is she going? Where can she go?

Ling Yu watched Helis quietly close the jiàn clip, did not speak, just took a few steps back, leaving the girl a little space that belonged to her.

Then Helis burst into tears.

As ever, Helis still maintained an indifferent expression, however, the tears that slipped from the corners of her expressionless eyes, and her trembling fingers, were enough to explain it.

"Give me one." Ling Yu turned around, he suddenly felt very irritable, he wanted to go up to comfort Herris, but he didn't know how to speak, he could only turn around, frowned, and patted Logan's arm.

Logan didn't speak, just slowly took out the cigarette case, neither he nor Ling Yu smoked much, but Rogan always had a box of green American spirit on him.

"If there's nowhere to go, how about staying?"

Suddenly, Jessy's voice came from behind Ling Yu, and before Ling Yu could put the cigarette in her mouth, she turned around, only to see Jeuncy walking to Helis's side, and the blonde knight girl slowly squatted down, and then knelt on both knees.

Then, she hugged Helis tightly.

"If there's nowhere to go, how about staying?"

Jeuness repeated her words again, gently hugging Helis, closing her eyes, and slowly stroking her back.

"Okay, boss?"

It seemed a little rude, and when Jiesi made an inquiry, she didn't turn her head to ask Ling Yu.

But she knew it was unnecessary.

"Whew-" Ling Yu let out a long sigh of relief, took the cigarette that had not been lit yet, shook his head, and did not answer, but walked in front of Herris, knelt on one knee, and showed a bitter smile.

"I know the truth is brutal, but I want you to understand one thing."

"The meaning of your existence is not determined by why you were born, but by what you did and wanted to do after you were born."

"Do you want to be brave or run away...... It doesn't matter. ”

"To work hard to make yourself happy, that's what a living person does."

Ling Yu closed his eyes, slowly stood up, and the moment he turned around, the back figure with a ponytail seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.

yes, as long as you live......

"Linya, I want a plane to Moscow, the sooner the better."

Ling Yu put the cigarette in his mouth, took Logan's lighter and lit it, and put it to his mouth, "No problem." ”

"Hmm." Linya nodded.

"And." Ling Yu held the cigarette between his fingers and took half of it in one gulp, "Jiesi." ”

"This girl's child support will be deducted from your salary."

"No problem, boss."

Jiesi's voice spread along Ling Yu's walking feet, and under the dark night sky, the bright lights on the aircraft carrier completely cut Ling Yu's back down. (To be continued......)
