“…… Yes, I'm a surviving Washington police officer, and now there are over forty unclaimed kids in the place where we're hiding, mostly between the ages of 3-6, many of whom can't name their parents, and we're only three people in care right now, and you know the GIs can't do anything but bring us food...... Yes, we need caregivers right now, some baby items, preferably parents who have lost their children to claim them, yes, hopefully broadcast them...... The radio broadcast was about to be interrupted, and our address was ......"

-- Temporary Allied Military Radio, the last episode before the solar storm broke out.

"In fact, this is not a hypothesis, it is a foreseeable future."

There was a rare hint of exhaustion in Jiesi's voice, and the girl let go of Ling Yu's arm, gently leaned back, leaned against the metal wall like Ling Yu, and closed her eyes.

"The League will declare war on the ACA, and the Cavalry must do their part as a military alliance, and you are a very appealing icon for both sides."

"So there will be a lot of people who go to the front and die because of me?" Ling Yu lowered his head and looked at the notebook in his hand, his right hand holding a small signature pen, but the slightly trembling tip of the pen betrayed him.

"When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die." Ling Yu sighed and shook his head gently.

"R.G. Gamble's History of the Chartist Movement," Jeunsy whispered the source of Ling Yu's quotation, "no matter what revolution it is, it is cast on blood and human heads." ”

Ling Yu did not answer. Just staring at the blood in the upper right corner of the notebook.

If everything he did from Paris to Washington was to save, what about the future? What if one day you have to follow the orders of politicians and bureaucrats and send countless people to war?

"But. There will always be people who die, and those who die just practice their choices. ”

Jeunse didn't let the silence last long, but reached out and gently pulled her hair, "Because, we always think that there is something more important in this world than our own life, don't we?" ”

"I don't understand." Ling Yu sighed and simply put down the pen in his hand. Closing the notebook, "As long as you live, there's hope, isn't it?" Isn't that what we've been looking forward to? Keep people alive......"

"It's about giving people the opportunity to make their own choices." Jiesi stretched out her hand and gently put it on the back of Ling Yu's hand, the mechanical palm overlapped the lines of Ling Yu's left hand, and the two supreme masterpieces of prehistoric civilization were like this, quietly sticking to each other after spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

"Ling Yu."

"Huh?"

"Actually, I still can't believe it, that day. At dawn when the snow had just stopped, I knocked on the door. The kid with a toothbrush in his mouth full of soap bubbles...... Will come this far with me. ”

“…… Soap bubbles aside, we're still good friends. ”

"Pss "It's just that I have one last thing I want to tell you, my dear boss."

"Finally...... A? Ling Yu's heart sank, and he subconsciously gritted his teeth. I wanted to turn my head, but I was afraid of disturbing the girl who was leaning on my shoulder.

"Don't be so sensitive, I'm just saying, in my personal opinion, how you should be the last thing you should do as a savior."

"Hmm." Ling Yu relaxed a little, his gaze still falling on the notebook in his hand, "What is it?" ”

"That is, the meaning of life."

"My brain cells have never been able to handle this level of thinking." Ling Yu smiled lightly and sighed, "I still know that the meaning of the universe is 42, what is the meaning of life, I have no concept at all. ”

"Actually, it's the right to choose." Jess smiled lightly, but didn't pay attention to Ling Yu's joke, opened her eyes, and looked at the wall across the corridor, her gaze seemed to pass through the thick wall, and saw Arlington Cemetery in the distance, and the neatly arranged tombstones.

"Biologically speaking, life itself may be just a circular system, but for humans, the difference between humans and animals is that life carries more things."

"In some ways, it may be easy to live – to obey the strong, to accept protection, to give up a need other than the needs of survival itself, including imagination, expectation, faith, perseverance...... Just live simply, boss, is this the person you want to protect? ”

"Not really." Ling Yu shook his head slightly, he suddenly felt as if he had caught something that he had been ignoring all along, "Like you said, what I want to protect is a possibility, to enable people to be part of 'human civilization', not a simple walking corpse, otherwise, why would we bring such a flawed system to fight against the ACA?" ”

"So, people, at least stand behind us...... The person standing behind you should have the right to choose his own life. Jeunse, still with a sweet and indifferent smile, spoke softly, "Including giving up the right to life for the sake of your own beliefs." ”

“……”

Ling Yu was silent for more than ten seconds, and Jiesi didn't bother, she knew that Ling Yu understood this, but she couldn't accept it emotionally.

"But bureaucracy can still mislead people into sacrificing for something unworthy."

After a long time, Ling Yu said such a sentence.

"You can fool some people forever, or everyone temporarily, but you can't fool everyone forever."

Jeunese responded with a quote.

"Abraham. Lincoln. Ling Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just smashed his statue today. ”

"Biological and philosophically speaking, human beings are so small that even if they become TF, we can't even describe the universe as insignificant." Jiesi's voice gently reached Ling Yu's ears. It's as if from another time and space, "How should we face our species, our planet, and our future?" ”

"We're united, even if it's still a little insignificant. But it's better than animals...... So, we stood at the top of the planet and created something called civilization that animals don't have. ”

"Therefore, the meaning of civilization lies in the fact that we have this qiē system now, we are united, we have created a law, a system. Use them to create more chances for us to survive. There is no doubt that this system is chaotic, inherently flawed and full of loopholes, but we are only human beings after all, and this system is the best we can create, at least at this moment. ”

"Pick one of the two pieces of rotten stuff that doesn't look too bad?" Ling Yu smiled bitterly. "It's hard to be president, and I haven't come to power yet. The hat that was already a rotten thing was buttoned up. ”

"It is inevitable that the League is a system full of holes, but it is this system full of holes that has created a group of heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, even if they are not misleading." Jeunse wasn't interrupted by Ling Yu's joke. Instead, he continued, speaking slowly but firmly, "Or rather, Ling Yu, you think, you." I, Helice, or the owner of this notebook, were misled by the bureaucrats to be here? ”

“…… You are right. This time Ling Yu didn't stay silent for too long, but opened the notebook again and picked up the pen, but he didn't write it down directly, he raised his head, "This is the system we are in, and the reason why this system exists is not because of those fat-headed politicians, but because we want to live, want to fight against this nature, and want to live better...... Not only us, but also for the people around us, our past and future, a thing we are familiar with, when this qiē may be destroyed, or has been destroyed, there will naturally be people who stand up and pursue something more important than life. ”

"So, those fat-headed politicians are just the price of this system, we can choose a lot of systems, this system may not be the best, or even very bad, but compared to the other system, at least this system gives people the greatest possibility of free survival, unfairness does exist, bullying and oppression cannot be avoided, but at least this system retains the right and possibility to change, instead of directly erasing a possibility, and keeping human beings in captivity like animals...... Perhaps one day, this system will be replaced by a more appropriate one, but at least for the moment, this system ...... It's worth it, and we're fighting for it. ”

"Not for the president or for politicians, not for someone or a group, just because ...... This system gives me that possibility...... And I want to protect the other possibilities...... That's all. ”

After Ling Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes, dropped the tip of the pen on the paper, and wrote his name.

"It's worthy of my boss, IQ really doesn't say anything."

Jiesi sat up straight, smiled lightly, then stretched out her hands, solemnly took the notebook handed over by Ling Yu, and nodded, "I will return this notebook to the martyr's family, thank you for fulfilling his wish before his death." ”

"Upload his name, as well as all the martyrs of the Battle of Washington, to Kronos's number library," Ling Yu nodded lightly, "We can't do much, we can only say, we can do what we can." ”

"Understood." Jesse put away her notebook and gave a knightly salute.

Just as Ling Yu was about to say something, suddenly, the sealed door of the operating room next to him opened, and a doctor wearing a green one-piece surgical gown walked out and saluted Ling Yu directly.

"Sir."

"How's it going?" Ling Yu returned a military salute.

"There is definitely no danger to life, although it is already a fatal injury, but the evacuation is relatively timely, and now it is out of danger." The military doctor directly gave the answer that Ling Yu was most concerned about, and then said the question.

"But the left hand and right leg have been amputated, although we have the amputated limb regeneration equipment with the army, but considering that the body of the injured is still in the development period, the use of the accompanying simple amputated limb regeneration equipment may cause some sequelae, so it is up to you to decide, sir."

"It's okay, the main battle is over, just evacuate her." Ling Yu nodded lightly, appreciating the military doctor's thoughtfulness, "Where is the evacuation now?" Pittsburgh? ”

"No, General Yang Song-taek has his base camp in Philadelphia because of the possibility of a terrorist attack on Pittsburgh." The military doctor shook his head, "There is also the Army's Third Comprehensive Physiological Research Center there, and in my personal opinion, it is best to send the wounded there, after all, it is a TF transformation center in itself." ”

"During that period, I'll trouble you to go through the formalities." Ling Yu nodded, "I'll go to Philadelphia later." ”

"The earliest evacuation flight is at twelve o'clock tonight, and the anesthetic for the injured will be invalidated at about ten o'clock, in this case, I Jianyi, sir, you had better send someone to accompany the bed, because young TF is prone to all kinds of battlefield mental illness." The doctor continued to dutifully provide Jianyì, and he naturally did not know that Helis was no longer a "child".

"It's okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'll take the injured to the ward, you're understaffed." Ling Yu nodded, turned around and glanced at Jesse, "Help me deal with the rest of the matter, remember to go see Linya." ”

"If you don't say I will, boss."

"Then I'll go first, and there are a few more surgeries." The military doctor nodded, then gave a military salute, and quickly disappeared at the end of the passage with the nurse behind him.

"It's okay, leave it to me." Jesse smiled and saluted, "Sir." ”

Ling Yu didn't reply, smiled lightly, and then pushed open the door of the operating room.
