"That shot was just a break. I'm not going to say anything because I decided to go my way."

Looking at Li Lin who was hanging his head down and refused to speak, the senior sighed and turned around again.

"I still respect you, but I think people should grow up. It's like I left you, just like you left us."

"So let me do this unfinished business. These thousands of years of emotions, this unknown number of years of history, let me open a new page."

"No one can cry for me when I am sad, but others can give this mourning to the world."

"I am the messenger of the dead, I will fight for the suffering of the dead, and I will speak out for all the injustice and sorrow in this world."

"I thank you. I am grateful that your existence will always remind me that even if I see through everything in this world, there will be people willing to sink. So I think that even the tiniest spark should shine. You have already been extinguished, so we have to walk the rest of the way."

"Goodbye, Li Lin."

"...and never see you again."

The mechanism in the room gradually turned, and the light gradually separated the two people's sights completely.

Sitting on a chair in the dark, Li Lin covered his face with his hands and remained silent for a long time, finally heaving a long sigh.

But Li Lin never thought that it would be almost three months before he heard the news again.

No.17 Chapter News

Li Lin walked out of the land ship through a narrow and special passage.

That is the channel specially reserved by the senior.

Just like what he said, although Li Lin has always only regarded the Ark operators and known things as the truth and put a lot of trust in them, the senior didn't want to hurt him in essence.

Even Li Lin has no doubt that if he confides all his conjectures, it is very likely that there will be different results.

But he dared not gamble.Now it is too far away from the theoretical possibility.

If the senior sees a one in ten thousand possibility and wants to work hard, then Li Lin admits that he is not that kind of material, and that he is indeed cold-blooded and ruthless.

Because of the road paved by other people's lives, Li Lin didn't feel that there was anything too much on the road.He was right about that.The trust of others really didn't move Li Lin.He has never had a sense of belonging to this world.

And the sacrifices made by those people, hoping to let Li Lin's ideas spread, just made Li Lin laugh.

But, mentally, I just feel uncomfortable.

He knew that his choice was theoretically correct, but he was still uncomfortable.

Because there are too many restrictions in this world, but because the information is not circulated, I can't explain it clearly, because the distortion of the information has become like this, Li Lin still feels very uncomfortable.

It felt as if he drank very strong and low-quality wine. An inexplicable irritability and depression, as well as all kinds of shame and regret for his previous behavior were entangled in his mind, which made him even fall directly to the ground in mid-air. on the ground.

The muffled bang also attracted the attention of other people who were waiting here.

"Quick! This way! The supervisor is here! The medical team!"

"...It's okay, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"The medical team is ready to check the facilities, the attack team is in defensive formation, let's go!"

The members of the Rhine Life Defense Division who had been waiting outside saw Li Lin in a panic at a glance, and urgently called the medical team to rescue him and sent him back to Rhine Life.

Then, within a few hours, everyone knew that the Columbia Guards Corps and Li Lin had parted ways.

Although Li Lin didn't say anything, neither did the senior, but the atmosphere in Columbia suddenly became subtle.Even the person in charge of Rhine Life went over to send blessings when they left the next day, but everyone knew that this matter was serious.Really big.

In a way, this is big news that can make those who are really on top of Terra look up.This time, the hidden organization almost half-openly showed a tendency to split, which is undoubtedly a signal.It means that the years of hiding and estrangement of the Guards Officer Corps are coming to an end, and it may disintegrate into different organizations of different sizes in the next few years.

When the regent heard the news, it couldn't be said that he was grateful for the Spring and Autumn Period, but he was alone in the study and ordered three bottles of wine to spend a good day.

Most of the controllers of other regimes also have this attitude. Although they didn't say anything, everyone was happy in their hearts.The most taboo thing in everything is unity. Even if the ants are too united, it will be a bit difficult for you to kill, let alone this kind of officer upstarts united.

The split this time undoubtedly represents that one side has chosen a smaller minority than the so-called majority interests.As for who it is, the higher-ups don't care, or it's best that both of them are bastards.Public opinion propaganda has already begun to build momentum, and it has begun to add fuel and jealousy to the two people's grievances and enmity, and write a special book, which is almost shaped into a Tyra version of Thunderstorm.

As for all kinds of rumors, Li Lin's choice was very simple and straightforward.It was as if he was going out for a walk when he was in a bad mood, but this time his way of handling things was much simpler and ruder.He directly found Heigang International, which was relieved because he had cleared the suspicion, and pulled a group of professional security personnel to kick the door one by one.Gone is the apparent grace and decorum, and all that remains is anger and depression.Then everyone died down and stopped talking.

Just kidding, if someone tricked Li Lin, he has the ability. Before he left, he was a Colombian dreamer. Everyone gave him a thumbs up. Are you worthy of making gestures with others?

So for Li Lin who was in a rage, everyone's work was a little easier.Because everyone subconsciously let this person who was about to be mad with anger, for fear that he would be assassinated if he was disliked.

And the departure of the Great Emperor a month later was a reminder to everyone, as if it was a chain reaction. After the Great Emperor ran Longmen, local wealthy people and rich households in various Colombia expressed that their properties in various parts of Terra might be a bit small Fault, let's take a step first. You don't have to be polite about the industries here, just clearly mark the price.

No one dared to directly touch the brow of a top assassination master.If you are in a hurry, people will fly to your office and kill you directly. At worst, you will run to other countries, and if you die, you will die.

Under such weird circumstances, the situation in Colombia as a whole has not changed significantly due to the departure of a political and economic faction.

Except for the personnel inside Rhine Life who knew that Li Lin never had that light smile on his face again, only the people in the Loken Water Tank Laboratory knew that the originally not-so-abundant funds received a large amount of financial support in an instant.

And the sponsor's final request was only to use those homeless children as experimental targets without any choice.Because they have already begun to inoculate some of the internal products of the water tank laboratory for rough stone desensitization and preliminary experiments, if they are adopted by other organizations, it is easy to expose the internal information of the water tank laboratory.

For this point, the patron understands very well, and said that there is no need to do too much, as long as a few children can grow up healthily within the allowable range.

Everyone is well aware of this situation, but everyone dare not touch the trouble of someone who is furious.Even the Rheinland board of directors did not intend to drive out this man who had brought countless profits.This was somewhat disappointing to someone who had handed in his resignation several times.

The days passed like this, until three months later, a message from Sammy broke the eerie silence.

This is news that can be said to be commonplace for the whole world.

But to the relevant personnel, it seemed like news of extinction.

The pioneering unit of the independent group of the Guards Officer Corps was attacked by monsters and natural disasters while advancing to the back of the Sami area and fell.Only a small number of dedicated combatants escaped and brought the news back.

Leader, Alexander Stuart.

Deputy, Robert Heilman.

Master of rough stone techniques, Solaya von Alphonse.

Director of scientific research, Portos York.

The 76 core members of the guards officer corps, including the four main leaders, and the 360 ​​seven peripheral members were all killed.Only a small number of elite mercenaries escaped on the edge of the battlefield.

Among them, the assault team led by Makaila Chunlei was wiped out, leaving Makaila Chunlei alone.Only three people from the special mercenary department of Black Steel International survived, and some of them were infected with protolith disease.All members of Rhine Life's research department accompanying the team died.Only one member of the Colombian official organization survived, and he was disabled for life. He could no longer raise his arms above his shoulders or lift more than ten kilograms.

Utopia, the free city-state founded by the liberals who claimed to be an independent faction of the Imperial Guards, came to an end before it was completed.

This time, Li Lin did not forget their names.

Chapter 18 The End

For the world, this incident can be said to be painless.Stories like this happen all over the world.

It is unknown how many people and how many cities disappeared without a trace in the struggle against natural disasters.Even under certain circumstances, Alexander Stuart's team has already had a good ending.Because there are many mobile city-states and populations that have even been turned into an increasingly terrifying state by something.But they were able to report back alive, so they really couldn't ask for anything more.

And people in this world are very tolerant and understanding about this.Rather, if there is no impact caused by natural disasters, everyone is still living quietly on the land now, and there is no need to run around with the mobile city all day long.Tyra has seen too many of this idealist's end.

Even today, many people still find some long-lost mobile cities and villages in some strange geological wonders when they are exploring in the wild.And the people inside were either killed because of hunger and panic, or turned into a pile of crystals under natural disasters.

Of course, the greatest possibility is to turn into some weird ghost thing that no one knows what it is.Because that's the way the world of Terra is.

Even to a certain extent, his death is even acceptable to everyone.

And Makaila Chunlei's related inquiries are just a process.After all, everyone knows that there is really no way to deal with natural disasters.

What's more, this time it's not just a matter of natural disasters. There are some loopholes in Ursus's homeland defense line, which caused some monsters to flee from the direction of the non-ice field, and bumped into Utopia, which was about to deploy. Coupled with the imminent natural disaster, the two sides fought together, and the whole army was wiped out in such a reasonable way.

Of course, the information about the monsters was guided and communicated by the relevant departments of the Colombian government.After they asked about the direction and general location of the monster, they happily reported it.After all, such major security breaches and accidents were caused by Ursas' inability to control its own defense. In recent years, Ursas has become weaker and weaker. It is really sorry for Colombia's style not to take the opportunity to step on two feet.

Other than that, there is nothing else.No one will criticize anything. After all, it is a bit outrageous in this world to ask people to be responsible for the casualties caused by natural disasters and animal disasters.They do not yet have such a high level of morality and political savvy.

Or, to a certain extent, there are, but they are basically used for political attacks. It doesn’t make sense for you to directly find a few top workers who work.

It's just that not everyone accepts this statement very well, at least a few people have difficulty accepting it.

Looking at Jian Lei who was convalescing on the hospital bed, Li Lin who was sitting in front of her showed a somewhat unacceptable expression. Looking at this Rhodes Island operator whom he once liked very much, his expression became more and more strange.

"...Is this gone?"

"..."

"Really gone?"

"..."

"The mobile city, the fleet, those materials, and those technologies, the technologies he said would change the world, are all gone?"

"...all gone."

"Why? Shouldn't it be? Doesn't he have such awesome raw stone skills? Isn't he able to lead people against the country? Isn't he going to claim to create a truly free country? It's just gone? It's so simple?"

"Because of time issues, the convoy was divided into three parts. The third team I was in was stuck in the geological change while advancing, so it fell behind. The pioneer team was entangled in the beast disaster and could not get out. The middle team was in the natural disaster. Everyone was unprepared for the core area where it happened. After repelling those monsters, they were attacked by natural disasters."

Jian Lei no longer had that relaxed expression that seemed to be a smile but was not a smile. Instead, he was sitting on the hospital bed with a flat and numb expression.

No one held her accountable, because even if she was not just an employee, she was also a combat hero in Colombia, and many people joined the army and the combat industry after hearing her story.

For this kind of natural and man-made disasters, Columbia has always downplayed its attitude towards dealing with it, and if she can escape successfully, then she will escape, and no one will ask too much, unless it is a relative or friend of the person involved. Friends outside.

The rest is the official details about the crash site, the joint discussion of relevant personnel, and then writing an investigation report is almost the same.As for the ideals and beliefs of the dead, Tara didn't care.The world has never cared about even a second.

As Li Lin has always said, the world has always been a big cesspit.Without absolute violence, without the power to fight against natural disasters, then everything is out of the question.

Even to a certain extent, this kind of indifference and numbness is the most suitable for Terra's thinking.

There is no need to feel sad for too many deaths. Everyone is driven forward by the top, numb and firm like a head of livestock. At least they are still walking, not regressing.

From the perspective of historical development, the current world is actually pretty good, at least much better than everything recorded before.

The world is really a fucking joke.

"...Mr. Li Lin."

"what's up?"

"Are you going?"

"Yes."

Looking at Jian Lei on the hospital bed, Li Lin nodded calmly.

"I don't intend to hire you as my employee, nor do I intend to use your fame to do something, so just say goodbye to each other."

"No, I don't plan to do anything. It's just that there is a letter that Mr. Stuart intends to give to you. I have kept it hidden from anyone else, and now I will give it to you when you come."

"……letter?"

"Yes. Actually, I was supposed to transfer to the first team after being stationed, but because I had to go back to Colombia for exchange and supplies, I took the envelope and went to the third team. I just didn't expect such a thing to happen."
