Shen Zeyuan pursed his lips tightly. If he was asked to abandon those friends who had agreed to join the army and fight together, abandon his own dignity, and abandon countless human beings around the world who were deeply trapped in the doomsday after defeat, he would just bury his head like this, If he ran away with his tail between his legs, he would definitely suffer for the rest of his life and live with this guilt forever.

In that case, it is better to die on the battlefield!

But he didn't dare to say these words.

He knows how much he values ​​his family.

However, even if he didn't speak, Shen Shi could still see his thoughts from his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Shen Shi looked at Huo Wenqian who was sitting there and asked, "Do you also support him?"

This sentence was like putting Huo Wenqian on the fire all of a sudden, and she even became visibly restless.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth and said: "I, of course I am worried, but I also know that if I don't let him go, he may regret it for the rest of his life, so I support him!"

"Wen Qian" Zeyuan tightly grabbed his girlfriend's hand.

A look of emotion on his face.

He knew that his girlfriend understood him, but it also took courage to say it in front of his brother.

"Mom also supports you, right? Because she knows she can't change you." Shen Shi suddenly sighed, "What I asked you just now, I have always wanted to ask our father. He jumped into the water to save me. When we were young, did we ever think about what we would do or what my mother would do if something happened? But now it seems that there is no need to ask."

It is impossible to ask this question the answer you want to hear.

Because it's not asking about things, but about people.

Based on my father's personality, the most likely answer is "I didn't think about it at all", or "I was a soldier and can swim, how could I not save him".

And Shen Shi knew.

What Ze Yuan said is right. In the face of danger, someone must stand up and face it. Those soldiers who are making great efforts in order to become a member of the interstellar force and to be able to step onto the battlefield are all such people.

They are unquestionable heroes, and no one who has been sheltered by their sacrifice and struggle has the right to question their choices.

And the opposition in my heart is just out of my own selfishness.

"You are already an adult." Shen Shi finally looked at his younger brother, "You have your own pursuits, your own three views, and you have someone you like. So, I can't stop your decision, but I I hope you remember that your family will always be worried about you."

"I know! Thank you, brother!" Shen Zeyuan showed an expression of surprise.

He was actually prepared for his brother to object and then work hard to fight for it.

"You guys sit down first, I'll make a call and ask how long it will take for the food to be delivered." Shen Shi didn't say anything more, just stood up and left the living room alone.

But he didn't make a call, but stood silently in the yard.

Then, a gentle body hugged him from behind.

Ai Xin'er didn't say anything, she just held her like this.

Until Shen Shi whispered as if talking to himself:

"I can actually stop him. With just one phone call, he will not be able to pass the next assessment, or he will have to stay in a safe place forever."

"I know." Ai Xin'er said from behind, her voice very soft.

"I just hope that everyone I care about can be well."

"I know."

"But I understand that he is right, the world needs heroes."

"You are all right." Ai Xin'er hugged her tighter, "You are all heroes."

"If I fail, I will run away without hesitation." Shen Shi thought of the changed history and smiled to himself, "What kind of hero is this?"

"But if you succeed, you will be the hero who saved the world." Ai Xin'er stood on tiptoes and pressed her face against Shen Shi's neck so that he could feel her breathing. "Even if you fail, you will still be there."

You are my hero, because you will definitely save me, won't you?"

""

Maybe every couple in love will have similar feelings, but at this moment, Shen Shi really felt that Ai Xin'er was like an elf.

Always there when he needs her.

Shen Shi turned around and held Ai Xin'er in his arms.

"This morning, I saw the social intelligence analysis report sent to me by the intelligence department. It said that the war spirit is getting stronger and the people's support can be used." He whispered, "I was very happy at the time, because the more I understand about interstellar warfare, the more I understand.

The more you can understand its cruelty, every space warrior not only has to face the enemy, but also faces various dangers in the universe, and even faces the torture in his own heart. Only the most heroic warriors and the bravest fighting spirit can

But now I suddenly realize that maybe I don’t really understand what these eight words mean.”

"Maybe it was like this before." Ai Xin'er raised her head, allowing Shen Shi to clearly see the admiration in her eyes, "But when you realize this, you will already understand that you have always been like this."

"Yes, I understand." Shen Shi was in a daze.

These eight words mean the succession of countless people and the birth of countless heroes.

It will be a hymn of blood and fire.

Shen Zeyuan is just an insignificant note in this hymn. However, just such a note uses family affection to draw Shen Shi, who was originally outside this hymn, into it.

Let him understand.

What an era this is.

At lunch after that, Shen Shi didn't talk about anything about the war. He just talked about trivial things like an ordinary family dinner. From time to time, he brought up embarrassing things about Ze Yuan's childhood, which caused the two girls to burst into laughter.

of laughter.

Instead, they suddenly shortened the distance between them.

Even Huo Wenqian wasn't as nervous as she was at the beginning, and even laughed out loud several times, completely revealing her true character.

It wasn't until he finished eating that Shen Shicai patted Shen Zeyuan heavily on the shoulder.

"I have only one request for the path you choose - live until the day of victory!"

"I will! Brother!" Shen Zeyuan was also very excited.

After all, after his father was killed, this old man who took on the responsibility of the family and set a good example for him has inherited part of his father's identity in his heart.

Elder brother is like father!

So being able to get Shen Shi's support is also a great encouragement to him.

Shen Zeyuan and Huo Wenqian did not stay too long after the meal. They also cherished the time they spent with each other. Shen Shi and Ai Xin'er escorted them out of the community before returning to the villa.

"Have you prepared your backup plan?" Ai Xin'er looked at Shen Shi with a smile.

"Why do I feel like I can't hide anything from you?" Shen Shi looked helpless.

"This shows that we have a good understanding of each other." Ai Xin'er felt a little proud.

"I just hope that preparation will never be used." Shen Shi shook his head.

He did act as a back-up, using his free time during meals to specifically contact Gong Chu and request a rather special device.

This is the human civilization of the future world, a replica of his "life evolution device" belonging to the Dyke civilization.

After continuous improvements, in the end, only one of the most critical functions remained.

The carrier of consciousness that can fully protect the living body when the body is subjected to huge force or even complete destruction.

For humans, it is the brain.

With the last shot, Shen Shi injected this device, which was also composed of microscopic individuals, into Shen Zeyuan's body.

And he also asked Gong Chu to find more copies of this device. He planned to prepare one for his mother, Ai Xin'er, even Ai Xin'er's parents, Huo Wenqian and others just now.

But as he said, he hoped the device would never come into play.

"Okay, don't frown all the time." Ai Xin'er stretched out her hand and rubbed the tip of Shen Shi's brow, "Now that you have made a decision, don't think about it anymore. Think of something happy. You still have to do it today." Do you want to be busy?"

"No, study and training have come to an end for the time being." Shen Shi also exhaled, "But I will be busy again after tomorrow. I have to go and see the training situation of the interstellar troops. After all, a war is about to begin."

"Then you have to make up for me well today." Ai Xin'er shook Shen Shi's arm and acted like a baby, "We haven't seen each other for forty-seven days, and we only talk on the phone for ten minutes every day. Time, I think people won’t miss you."

"Okay." Shen Shi easily picked up her whole body and walked towards the bedroom, "As long as you can bear it, today is all yours."

"Wait--!" Ai Xin'er panicked, "What are you going to do!"

"Of course I want to do something happy. Isn't that what you said? Are you afraid?"

"Who would be afraid!"

"How about we find a time to get the certificate, and then have a simple wedding first? Otherwise, when we get busy, we have to wait until the war is over before getting married. That would be too dangerous."

"I can do it, please be gentle, don't be too rude."

""

The lovers in love have not seen each other for more than a month and a half. It is impossible not to miss each other. It is a rare time to relax and rest, and Shen Shi no longer suppresses his emotions.

Ai Xin'er is actually the same.

Some things don't depend on time or place. As long as you feel the emotion, it will naturally fall into place.

So, I had a great time doing it.

However, no matter how boring the gentle countryside was, Shen Shi still crawled out of bed on time the next day.
