back to Earth

At the beginning, what kind of mentality did you have to look at your compatriots who were gradually sinking?

Surprised, lost, unwilling.

And why do you think of doing something on your own?

Still unwilling.

Maybe it has something to do with being a native of Earth in the previous life. In Cheng Zhen's memory, although human beings are a bit too arrogant, they are indeed a very talented race.They searched for the sky and entered the sea with their weak bodies, exploring the unknown, and they were the masters of the once glorious earth.

Cheng Zhen is not reconciled, not reconciled to seeing his compatriots belittled like this, not reconciled to seeing people who are struggling silently just complaining about themselves.So he was determined to resist, to prove something to the world, or, to prove something to himself.

He never thought about whether he could do it, but just tried his best to climb towards the goal step by step.

However, when he came here, Cheng Zhen looked back and couldn't help being a little confused.

Who am I trying to prove to anyone, and what am I working hard for?

If everything is just his wishful thinking, and no one, no compatriots, has ever expected him to do that, then is everything about him still meaningful?

Could it be that in the eyes of others, he is a clown who is overconfident, meddlesome and delusional?

The strong sense of self-denial reached a certain point when Rhine said that sentence, and the anxiety also reached its peak.

For his own sake, for the sake of other compatriots, he will add blades to another group of human beings.

What's the difference between Sean and them?It's just that they chose different ways. In fact, his essence and Sean's are the same.As Sean once said, they understand each other's unwillingness and the tenacity in each other's hearts best.

But now, Cheng Zhen has to obliterate another person, obliterate another persistent "self" for his own choice.

He began to have doubts about his actions so far.

This strong sense of self-doubt still lingered for a long time until he returned to the room Rhine had arranged for him.Seeing that Cheng Zhen was in a daze, Rhine didn't continue to press him, but asked him to give the answer tomorrow.

Sitting alone in the room for a long time, Cheng Zhen thought a lot, thinking of his excitement when he decided to learn mechs at the beginning, and the vow he made to become stronger.He didn't seem to think about anything, as if the past and the present are just a shadow, so unreal.

He was in a daze to himself, and he didn't even notice when Cheng Yu entered the room.

It wasn't until the hands that belonged to another person's warmth were placed on his shoulders that Cheng Zhen came back to his senses, raised his head, and looked at his younger brother standing in front of him.

"Brother..." Surprised by the confusion in Cheng Zhen's eyes, Cheng Yu forced a smile. "Why are you sitting here alone, thinking about something? You have been like this since you were a child, thinking too much."

"Ah Yu." Cheng Zhen looked at his brother, at this relative who was connected by his blood. "I just think that I have been too self-righteous all the time. I have done a lot, but maybe they don't need it at all, but they should blame me for being too troublesome."

Faintly aware that Cheng Zhen's mood was not right, Cheng Yu looked at him calmly and asked.

"Why do you think so?"

"It's just... not sure if what I did is correct." Cheng Zhen murmured. "At that time, he told me that walking this road will take a lot of burdens, but I don't care. I can let my hands be stained with blood, because I think it is worth it for them. But if I want to protect those People, in fact, they don't need me at all, do I still need to persist?"

Cheng Zhen, who has always been steadfast, will have a day when his faith will waver.He has always supported his beliefs behind him-his brothers and sisters.When Cheng Zhen began to doubt whether he was needed by his compatriots, his faith also began to collapse.

The more determined a person is, the more he will be caught off guard.

It must be that Emperor of the Golden Clan said something to Cheng Zhen again!Seeing his brother's sullen look, Cheng Yu felt angry, but he didn't have time to complain about Rhine too much, he just tried his best to comfort him with words.

"I don't know what other people think, but if it's necessary, I can't do without you, brother."

Cheng Yu stared at those black eyes similar to his own. "Since you were young, you have always walked ahead of us and taken care of everything. You never told us to give up, and you never thought we were inferior. Remember when we were young and we fought with a group of silver kids? At that time you But one punch knocked down their leader!"

Cheng Yu recalled his childhood and chuckled. "Brother, from then on I began to think, it's great to have such a brother."

"You never taught us what it means to give up, you just told us to walk on with our heads held high. Such a brother looks different from other people." Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke softly. "Others seem to be covered with a layer of gray fog, but only you are different. In our eyes when we were young, you were shining! You are more dazzling than everyone else, and we are most proud of you. elder brother."

Cheng Zhen was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Cheng Yu to confess to himself like this suddenly, and he seemed a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing that he looked a little moved, Cheng Yu continued to make persistent efforts. "Not only us, many people like to follow behind you like this. By the way, before I set off, two seniors from Clemson College contacted me, wanting to confirm your safety."

"Is it Cassia and Misaqi?" Cheng Zhen asked in surprise. "How would they know?"

"Don't underestimate the people who care about you. Even if you don't tell them, the people who are really worried about you will try their best to find information about you. Brother, they are just like me, they are really thinking about you. And for us Said, we can’t do without you, we need you.”

Cheng Yu grabbed his brother's shoulders tightly and stared at him closely.

"I don't know where you come from these unnecessary self-doubts. But believe me, everything you have done so far is not undesired! Participating in the Battle of Klein, you became the one everyone talks about Hero. Brother, you simply can't imagine how much envy the junior college students would envy me when they knew that the famous Cheng Zhen was my brother!"

Showing off emotions like a child, Cheng Yu said proudly. "The person who surprised everyone and made them admire is not others, but you. Do you know how many human beings start to pay attention to all the intelligence related to you after hearing your news? Do you know that now every day, children sign up for mecha Are there more people training than before? And our human army has returned to the identity of the three major forces, and everyone has the courage to hold their heads high again."

"It's all because of who, it's because of you, Cheng Zhen!" Cheng Yu suppressed his excitement and almost choked up. "If you still doubt yourself like this, those who worship you as a hero, wouldn't it be too pitiful!"

"..."

After a long silence, Cheng Zhen said in a low voice. "Being a hero is hard work."

Cheng Yu laughed. "Indeed, so this hard work is still entrusted to you!"

Finally showing a smile, Cheng Zhen said. "I'm not a hero, I'm just a silly big brother who needs my younger brother to comfort me."

"Yeah, I think so too. Sometimes you can be really silly, thinking about things."

"You stinky boy!"

……

The next day, when Cheng Zhen, who had sorted out his emotions, appeared in front of Rhine, the emperor was not surprised.

He thought that even Cheng Zhen would be depressed for a while, and even wondered if his dose of medicine was too strong.But Cheng Zhen smiled at him with the same resolute expression as before.

"I think a lot."

"What is right and what is wrong is not something we can judge now. Since I have chosen this path, I have no reason to regret it, because—"

With a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, the black-haired boy said. "The group of people standing behind me, as long as they still need me, I can't retreat. So even if I regret it, I will not retreat from this road. I want to witness my choice with my own eyes."

Cheng Zhendao. "Please let me go to the front with you, Your Excellency the Emperor."

Those dark eyes stared straight at Rhine, even though he was wearing goggles, Rhine felt a little stinging.The young man's decisive and firm expression seemed to be deeply embedded in his eyes, making people unable to speak for a long time.

Cheng Zhen was indeed more tenacious than he thought.

Rhine felt an inexplicable anxiety.He always thought that he was still a young man in the rough, and that his light had bloomed early, and this light was too dazzling, which would inevitably attract the attention of others.But he has nothing to do, because Rhine knows that it will be sooner or later.From the moment Cheng Zhen was exposed to everyone's sight, he was destined to become more dazzling day by day.

And what Rhine can do is to firmly hold this jade in the palm of his hand.

In this way, even if other people want to see it, they can only see it from a distance and cannot touch it.Let this boy become a gem that belongs only to him.

Hiding the desire for monopoly that quietly rose in his heart, Rhine looked at the black-haired boy in front of him and stretched out his hand.

"Then follow me closely."

Follow me all the time, don't leave.

In the 3727th year of the new human calendar, after the human army resumed its status as one of the three major armies, it received an assignment for the first time.

Order the Human Dragon Wing Army, together with the auxiliary troops of the other three races, to go to the Algar defense line to help in the battle.

——The [-]st Expedition Order of the Interstellar General Council.

The long-lost battle, when relatives and friends are happy or sad or worried, when they see off the human non-commissioned officers who went to the front line.A transfer order that not many people knew was also released quietly.

The 809th student of Clemson College, the chief human Cheng Zhen, was transferred to the troops directly under the Emperor Rhine Bertutan as a special combat member to participate in the battle.
