Chapter 011 The Father and Son Who Don't Want to Be Ashamed

"Dad, I can't run anymore."

"Hold on."

"But I really can't run anymore, will I run again when I rest?"

"Did the imperial gorillas give you a break when you were on the battlefield?"

"I will definitely not run when I go to the battlefield. I will blow the heads of those imperial gorillas."

"You must run, and if you need to run, you must run."

"No, I won't run, I will kill them."

"But if you die, then no one will kill them again."

"But if I run, no one can stop them."

……

If the time goes back to those years when he ran every morning, Ji Xinghe would try his best to persuade his son Ji Chenxing, but the time cannot go back, and his persuasion must be useless, because Ji Chenxing has a bad temper Hard and full of heroism.

You should have run, son.

Ji Xinghe kept repeating this sentence in his heart. He didn't care what position he had to stick to, and he didn't care who won the war between the Federation and the Empire. Monkey rules over humans, he just wants his son to live.

You should have run, son.

Ji Xinghe has been running with Ji Chenxing in the morning for ten years. After Ji Chenxing was admitted to the Military University, he would also run in Xinfeng City every day during the collective morning run of the Military University. He just wanted to accompany his Son, even if there are thousands of miles between them.He just wants Ji Chenxing to have better physical fitness, so that he can escape when he needs to escape.

You should have run, son.

But Ji Chenxing didn't run away, he fought to the death on the front line of the alien star, and single-handedly defeated six imperial mechas, and then there was no bones left in the self-destruct of the imperial mechas.

Ji Xinghe was running silently, and a video image brought by Han Li appeared in his mind, which came from the black box of the Jichenxing mech. .

One after another, as if endless, Ji Chenxing's mechs were submerged.

When the bursting flames filled the whole screen, the black box recorded Ji Chenxing's last voice.

"Stab... stab... Dad, I didn't run because I didn't want to embarrass you... stab... stab..."

Yes, son, you did not disgrace me, so I will not disgrace you.

The part of the way you didn't run, I will run for you.

Ji Xinghe, who has no other things in mind, has entered a state that his colleagues are very familiar with. Whenever he encounters a problem when repairing the car, he will be as silent and focused as he is now. It is not that he cannot hear the voices outside , It's not that he can't see other people anymore, he just won't be distracted until he completes his goal, which is a state of extreme concentration.

There is only one goal that makes him extremely focused today, and that is to run the ten kilometers, as if as long as he can finish the run, his son will be able to escape from the battlefield at that time.Like if only he could finish the run, his son would be able to come back from the dead.It's like as long as he can finish the run, his son will give him a long-lost hug at the finish line.

Time was forgotten by him, but the instinct of a repairman and the body memory brought about by decades of daily morning jogging kept him at a speed that could complete the goal within the time limit.

He's tired, but he won't stop, he won't slow down, because his son didn't embarrass him, and he won't embarrass his son.

He is running, but he is not running away, nor is he running away for his son, he just wants to run closer to his son, even if the end is death.

……

In Xinfengcheng Stadium, Major General Tu Yuan, who had already stood up on the rostrum, heard the voice of his staff.

"Nine kilometers, time...is enough."

This prompt is a little redundant, because there is only one screen on the big screen in the gymnasium at this time, and all the split screens are merged together, so that everyone can see the running Ji Xinghe.

And in the upper right corner of the big screen, the distance Ji Xinghe has run and the time it took Ji Xinghe are clearly displayed: 9136 meters, 31 minutes.

There are 4 minutes left in the time, and the distance is 864 meters. The average speed of Ji Xinghe has exceeded 290 meters per minute. If Ji Xinghe does not slow down, he will be able to finish the run within the specified time.

Tu Yuan asked in a low voice expressionlessly: "Why, his speed hardly changes from the beginning to the end?"

Under normal circumstances, the speed of a ten-kilometer long-distance run will definitely change due to the difference in physical fitness, and this long-distance run with a limited time will also bring a lot of psychological pressure to the participants. Increase the speed, try to gain a time advantage in the early stage, and grit your teeth in the later stage.

But Ji Xinghe's speed was exactly the same from the beginning to the end. He didn't speed up when he was full of energy, and he didn't slow down when he was weak.

"Maybe it's because he knows his own physical condition very well, and he has already completed a reasonable distribution of physical fitness from the beginning." The staff officer analyzed: "Considering the premise that he knows martial arts, I think this is very reasonable."

Tu Yuan glanced at the staff officer: "Martial arts? Reasonable?"

The staff officer did not respond immediately, but silently watched Ji Xinghe on the big screen. When he saw that beautiful reporter approaching Ji Xinghe's mouth with a glass of water, but Ji Xinghe didn't open his mouth, he couldn't help but feel anxious. one time.

"General." The staff officer said in a serious tone: "Let him go to the front line of the alien star, even if it is just to take a look at the position that Ji Chenxing defended with his life."

Tu Yuan has already looked at the big screen again, and Ji Xinghe in the screen is getting closer and closer to the finish line, but his eyes are not on Ji Xinghe, but on those people near the finish line.

There were many people at the finish line, but no one cheered Ji Xinghe at this time, they just looked at Ji Xinghe silently, and they turned a blind eye to other people on the runway, even if there were their relatives and friends among those people.

Including the female reporter Pei Jing who has always been able to attract the attention of all the men around her, but now she seems to have disappeared from the sight of these people, and they only have Ji Xinghe in their eyes.

If the camera can capture the eyes of these people, then it can capture the worried emotions, but unfortunately the camera cannot capture them so clearly.

But Tu Yuan saw those worried eyes, just like the eyes he saw when he looked at his staff officers just now, almost everyone was worried about Ji Xinghe at this moment.

The distance of 10 kilometers is actually not too long. Long-distance runners can run more than 60 kilometers. It is not uncommon for people in their 70s or even 35s to run more than 40 kilometers, but if they run [-] kilometers in [-] minutes It's not easy at the age of [-].

And after the age of 40, it is one year old.

At this time, Tu Yuan didn't know why he wanted to talk so much. Seeing Ji Xinghe on the screen getting closer and closer to the finish line, he asked again.

"If it was you, would you run with your life like this?"

General, are you cursing me?

The staff officer replied sincerely: "I won't, because I know it doesn't make any sense."

"Then why does he think it makes sense?"

"Maybe it's because . . . he doesn't know what to do, or what he can do, other than that."

"Is the ambulance in place?"

"It's already here, just waiting at the end."

"Then arrange it, we will go to the hospital later."

"Yes."

During the conversation, Ji Xinghe on the screen had crossed the finish line. The time was 34 minutes and 44 seconds. He was 16 seconds faster, so cheers sounded from the finish line. Many people wanted to rush to Ji Xinghe who was slowing down and then started to walk. Beside him, but some medical staff rushed over carrying a stretcher first, so the crowd stopped, and they looked at Ji Xinghe worriedly.

Because they all knew that when Ji Xinghe stopped, that was when Ji Xinghe fell on the stretcher.

After falling, can he stand up again?

There will be no answer to this question, because Ji Xinghe did not fall, and he finally stopped, standing tall like an evergreen pine standing on a cliff, looking calmly at the worried face. Pei Jing held out her hand.

"Little girl, my knife."

Tu Yuan on the rostrum of the gymnasium laughed, he knew that he would not be able to go to the hospital today.

Chapter 012 Zigong is not as good as me

My little girl, my knife.

The knife, not the bag.

At first, Pei Jing thought it was because the cheers around her were too noisy, so she heard it wrong, and thought that Ji Xinghe was too tired to speak clearly, but when she handed the bag to Ji Xinghe, Ji Xinghe was in front of her. After opening the bag, she knew she had heard correctly.

In the bag she carried with her were two knives, Ji Xinghe's knives.

The 65-year-old man who wanted to join the army to avenge his son carried two knives with him.After running 35 kilometers in [-] minutes, instead of collapsing from exhaustion, he stood tall and demanded his knife.

However, what use is a weapon like a knife on the battlefield on the alien front?The imperial orangutans are driving mechas. In front of mechas with an average height of 4.5 meters, what is the difference between these two knives and toothpicks that can be easily carried in a handbag?

Perhaps, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance.

It seems that everyone knows that it doesn't make any sense for Ji Xinghe to go to the front line of the foreign star, but Ji Xinghe still wants to go.

Pei Jing, who had complicated thoughts, had thousands of words, but in the end she only uttered one sentence.

"Grandpa Ji, do you want to take a break?"

Ji Xinghe actually had a thousand words he wanted to say, but he didn't want to say it, and he only said one sentence while looking at the camera.

"No, I can run another ten kilometers."

So those who saw Ji Xinghe's appearance at this moment, and those who heard his words, almost all had the same thought in their hearts: this is a stubborn old man.

"Interview him, keep interviewing him."

Pei Jing's earphones came with a prompt from the broadcaster, and Pei Jing herself knew very well how high the ratings would be brought by interviewing Ji Xinghe at this time, and how high the click-through rate would be in the future, but she sincerely thought that Ji Xinghe Xinghe needs to rest now, so he asked softly: "Grandpa Ji, when is it convenient for you to accept the interview?"

Ji Xinghe looked at the camera and pondered. He felt that Tu Yuan should be looking at him now, and Tu Yuan was the only person in Xinfeng City who could decide whether he could go to the front line of the alien star at this time.Coercing public opinion does not mean that he can ignore the rules. Those who master the rules and make the rules often dislike his behavior the most.

Life at the age of 65 is ordinary, but Ji Xinghe has gained some life experience.

"I'm sorry, little girl, if I have time, I will contact you again."

This was a polite refusal, because Ji Xinghe didn't ask for Pei Jing's contact information, so even if he had time, it would be difficult for him to contact Pei Jing.

This is a threat, because Pei Jing's contact information is actually not difficult to find, and her work unit is Xinfengcheng TV Station.Besides Pei Jing, there will be tens of thousands of 'Pei Jing' who want to interview him in the next few months.

This is advancing by retreating.

Ji Xinghe walked away in the camera, and his back disappeared into the crowd, but Pei Jing who looked at Ji Xinghe felt lonely: Ji Xinghe was in the crowd, but these people did not Can't give him the hug he wanted, Ji Xinghe is on the blue star, but his heart is on the front line of the alien star, Ji Xinghe is alive, but he is dead.

I really want to hug this poor and respectable stubborn old man.

……

"You really want to die?"

Tu Yuan looked at Ji Xinghe who was standing in front of him, and asked an impolite question with a blank face. The impoliteness was due to the age of the two parties.

Ji Xinghe was silent and looked at Tu Yuan calmly. Because of his height, he seemed to be looking down at Tu Yuan who was 1.9 meters tall at 1.7 meters.This is also impolite due to the status of both parties.

But neither of these guys care about that stuff, and the red tape doesn't make sense a lot of the time.

"Why don't you want to say a few more words to them?"

Tu Yuan continued to ask questions. He was talking about those who knew Ji Xinghe and came here after getting the news. These people finally approached Ji Xinghe among the crowd, but they could only call out to Lao Ji while looking at them The old man in his mouth left in embarrassment.

Ji Xinghe who ran ten kilometers was not embarrassed, Ji Xinghe who was surrounded by crowds was not embarrassed, and Ji Xinghe who faced Major General Tu Yuan was not embarrassed, but when facing these people, Ji Xinghe looked a little embarrassed.

Ji Xinghe knew very well why he was unwilling to say a few more words to those who knew him, and he also knew that Tu Yuan knew this very well, so he continued to keep silent, just looking down at Tu Yuan, with a trace of begging emotion.

Tu Yuan was silent for a moment.

"Today's physical fitness test has all ended, and it was a long time later than we expected, because the number of people who participated was much more than the people who originally signed up on the Internet, from 7000 people to 3000 people. The 6000 people...all because of you."

Registration is generally done by filling in the relevant information in advance on the Internet. On-site registration is just a process. No one expects those who are unwilling to move their fingers on the Internet to actually come to register on-site.But when Ji Xinghe's simple story spread because of his participation, many people who had originally registered on the Internet but didn't come to the scene silently came to the scene to participate in the assessment.There are also some people who have not signed up, came to the scene to sign up and participated in the physical fitness assessment.

In terms of the total population of Xinfeng City, 3000 people is not too many, but combined with the specific content of the physical fitness test and the purpose of this test, 3000 people is already a lot, and the extra 6000 people also exceed Everyone expected.

Regardless of how many people pass the border, this is a good phenomenon for the federation.

Ji Xinghe finally said: "You're welcome."

Tu Yuan laughed. He was actually a little worried about Ji Xinghe's body, but now that Ji Xinghe can still joke, there is really nothing to worry about.However, what he didn't know was that Ji Xinghe was not joking, he sincerely said you're welcome, and at the same time added in his heart: I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for those who passed the physical fitness test, they are the parents and relatives of these people.

"I have three strategies." Tu Yuan put away his smile and asked seriously: "Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Which one can get me revenge?"

"It's all possible."

"The best policy."

"The best strategy is that we pack you up as the image spokesperson of the recruitment advertisement. You go to all the cities in the entire Federation, and then bring the power of the entire Federation to the front line of the alien star. We will definitely win, and you will definitely succeed in revenge."

Ji Xinghe, who just said sorry in his heart, shook his head.

Tu Yuan didn't seem to be surprised, nor was he angry at him. Perhaps he also felt that although doing so was the most beneficial, it was the most inhumane.

"The middle strategy is that I will let you go to the front line of the alien planet, but you can only stay in the rear base. Your military life will be broadcast live. All you need to do is to repair the car. I checked, and you have almost all military cars. If you can cultivate, someone can teach you if you can’t. Even if you cultivate slowly, this is still a way to participate in the war. If we win, you can get revenge.”

From sure to win, to if we win, the gap between the best and the middle is so big that it cannot be measured.

But Ji Xinghe still shook his head.

Tu Yuan couldn't help sighing: What a stubborn old man.

"Would you like me to talk to you about the difference between these two, and talk about the responsibilities and obligations you should have as a federal citizen and the father of a federal combat hero under the current situation?"
