At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Han Yi, the commander of the Fourth Army, led the warship to connect with the main starship, and according to the order of the marshal, he picked up Phoebus, who could not be interrogated by the Third Army.

It was difficult for the two huge warships to approach at close range, so a small ship had to be sent in between to contact the prisoner.

"boom--"

The explosion happened suddenly.

At that time, Gu Yu was taking his lunch break with Major General Lu in his arms. He was half asleep and half awake when he suddenly felt the warship shake violently. He and Lu Chen woke up at the same time.

"What's going on?" Gu Yu only had time to put on a military coat, opened the door, caught the army insects passing by in the corridor and asked.

The army worm panicked: "Colonel Gu, something happened to the small ship that picked up Phoebus! A starship that came from nowhere suddenly collided with that small ship, and the whole thing burst into flames. I still can't tell what's inside. situation!"

As soon as Lu Chen got dressed and walked out of the room, Liu Zhen greeted him, and hurriedly said: "The lieutenant general is not good! The Yin who was in the hall just now is gone!"

"Disappeared?" Lu Chen was surprised, "Where can he go?"

Liu Zhen took a breath, and said anxiously: "Lieutenant General, you think he...would he have gotten into that small ship that exploded?"

If that's the case, it sucks!

Gu Yuzheng held Lu Chen's hand, squeezed the palm of his hand to comfort him, and said, "I'll go to the main control room right away to see what's going on."

Lu Chen held his hand instead, looked at Gu Yu, and nodded deeply: "Go."

And Yin, who Liu was really worried about, was covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, choking on the thick smoke around him, his eyes were so smoked that he could barely open his eyes, and he staggered forward towards the light in the shaking cabin.

The male boy with pale blond hair was standing at the door of the blasted cabin, indifferently reaching out for a ladder thrown by a ship outside.

His prison uniform was blown away by the strong wind, and his pale and beautiful face was expressionless, as if he was going to ride the wind away in the next second.

In this scene of successfully escaping in the next second, a weak "brother" suddenly yelled out.

Fu's indifferent expression cracked at that moment, he couldn't believe it, and his eyes followed the voice complicatedly: "You actually... dare to come up here? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"No...don't go!"

Yin staggered while supporting the wall, walking out of the thick fog: "Ahem, ahem, bro, don't go, don't go back...that's a road of no return, you can't go back!"

Fu kept a long distance from him, stared deeply at him whose eyes were crying, suddenly moved the corner of his lips, and sneered: "Do you think I don't understand that this is the point of no return? Dear Yin, You're still so naive—so stupid."

Fu always stood at the door of the cabin, squinting his beautiful pale golden eyes and said with a smile: "Only when the entire Zerg race has gone on the road of no return, can the Zerg be willing to turn back. Do you understand?"

"No! Ahem..."

Yin reluctantly supported the wall, half-bowed and raised his head to look at his brother with difficulty: "No, brother, if you deal with extremes with extremes, and with violence and retaliation, you can only hurt both sides, and fall into an irreparable situation forever!"

He tried his best to open his eyes wide, and looked at his brother who seemed to disappear in the next second, praying: "We can resolve this matter peacefully, it will definitely be possible! Brother, you believe me!"

Fu returned with a slight sneer, and took half a step back.

"My dear Yin, you will never understand anything at all."

"If you have suffered what I have suffered, you will no longer believe that there is any light in this world. All the light that is shown on the bright side is nothing but forced by violence."

"The truth is, it is violence that gave birth to this world, peace, and everything you find beautiful—without violence, the world could only be chaos!"

Fu turned around and grabbed the ladder, and stepped on it without hesitating.

"No... no, it's not like that!"

"Don't go! Brother! Don't go!"

Yin staggered, rushed over with the last bit of strength, grabbed the cabin door but stretched out his hands in vain, watching his brother stand on the ladder and slowly rise into the air, going away a little bit.

Going away to another path that is completely different from his.

"Phobos—go to hell!"

From behind Yin, there was a sudden roar.

A military female, whose body was almost half blown up, staggered out of the cabin, roared with the last of her strength, and threw the bomb outward.

"no, do not want!"

Yin, who was at the door of the cabin, subconsciously turned over and stopped in the direction where the bomb was thrown.

"boom--"

A violent explosion exploded at the door of the cabin, blasting bright light in the vast starry space, and was submerged in darkness again only for a moment.

And the universe is vast and boundless, unchanging from ancient times, devouring all light, as if nothing happened from the beginning to the end.

……

At the last Yin only had time to see clearly, his brother jumped down from the ladder that had already been lifted into the air, and then pushed him down.

When he was pushed down and fell rapidly, the wind in his ears was so loud that he couldn't even hear the sound of the explosion. He fell homeless like a lightly fluttering leaf in the wind, but at the same time, he desperately opened his eyes wide.

He watched helplessly, his brother's fragile body was instantly swallowed by the flames of the explosion, and nothing was left. In the end, there were only the snow-white remnants of the prison uniform in the air, scorched black by the fire, and drifted down in the direction of his fall with the wind. .

Death comes so fast.

Almost unrealistically fast.

A life that was alive one moment, completely erased his figure from the universe in the next moment.

But Yin could only watch with his eyes wide open, and stretched out his hands to the sky in vain, but couldn't touch anything.

Just like him since he was a child, his efforts have always been in vain, and in the end, it will always be his brother.

The ships from the main starship of the Third Legion rescued Yin in time.

The military doctor found Phoebus' DNA from the wreckage of the exploded cabin boat.He was too close to the source of the explosion, so that in the end there was not even a single piece of wreckage left.

From the starship all the way to Capital Star Hospital, Yin has been lying on the stretcher without saying a word.

The wound left by the explosion on his body was wrapped in heavy bandages. It should have been painful, but he stared blankly in one direction, as if he had lost his soul.

Neither the soldiers from the Third Legion, nor the military review meeting that came later could get any information from him about the situation at that time.

Lu Chen was escorted by Gu Yu for a detailed physical examination. The doctor said that he used his legs too much this time. Fortunately, he didn't have any other major problems except fatigue, but he will have to sit in a wheelchair for the next month to recuperate.

Yin happened to live in the same hospital, and Lu Chen was pushed by Gu Yu halfway to visit him.

Yin does not have a family member, and is taken care of by hospital nurses these days.

After the massacre happened two years ago, Yin was adopted by the Moser Association, the largest charity organization in the empire, and then changed his name to Yin Moser, which gave him the opportunity to study from a small remote galaxy to the five planets in the capital circle.

The expenses of hospitalization and nursing staff are all borne by the Mercer Association, which adopted him.

The Moser Association was funded and founded by the Moser Company, the largest capital consortium in the empire. Both the association and the company are named after the founding worm, Moser—he is the richest worm in the entire empire, and he is also the one who has done the most philanthropy. insect.

Most of the orphans with the surname "Moser" in the empire were adopted by the Moser Association.

Gu Yu brought the major general of his family to the child's ward, and was about to accompany him to peel an apple for the patient on the bed, when Lin Xi'an, the chairman of the review committee, suddenly called him in a hurry.

Gu Yu had no choice but to go to the corridor to answer the call.

Lu Chen sat alone in front of the hospital bed, gently rubbing Yin's head with empty eyes.Those gray hairs have been curled into a ball, appearing even darker.

Lu Chen didn't say anything, but just told the 14-year-old boy on the bed: he is here.

After a long time, tears slowly flowed from the corners of Yin's eyes, a series of silent tears, but could not be stopped, quietly flowing across his immature but experienced face.

"Senior Lu..."

Yin's voice was hoarse when he spoke, as if he hadn't spoken for many years.

"It should be me. It should be me."

He closed his eyes, tears poured out silently like a bank burst.

"Why, why am I the one who lives... My brother's suffering all his life is because of me. He is guilty, but I am the most guilty. I should die..."

Lu Chen listened to his words in silence, rubbing his hair one by one.

"Yin."

After a while, Lu Chen moved his lips and said to the young man who was crying silently: "Life should not be compared."

"I believe that when your brother saved you, he didn't compare which of you should live. He just did it subconsciously. Just like you, when he was in danger, he stepped forward without thinking twice."

"But, it's my brother who died..."

Yin sank his head into the pillow, and looked at Lu Chen with broken eyes: "But he is the one who died now, and I am the only one who survived... How should I live, Senior Lu, tell me, how should I continue to live? "

Lu Chen's eyes gradually darkened and turned serious.

"Yin, you should prove to your brother that in your way you can also realize his unfulfilled ideal."

"In this way, we can live with hope."

Lu Chen knows better than anyone else that worms live in the world, and every time they encounter a setback, they have to find something to look forward to, pick themselves up again, and live strong again.

Because life has always been so fragile, and it has always been so tough.

Even if you have to.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yu picked up the communication.

The setting sun slanted into the corridor from the window, dragging afterimages on the floor, the air in the hospital was so oppressive that insects could not breathe, Gu Yu walked to the window and took a breath.

Lin Xi'an didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "A bad news, a good news, Colonel Gu, which one do you want to hear first?"

Gu Yu raised an eyebrow: "Bad news?"

He didn't believe that there could be any bad news, where would the bad news go.

"Bad news," Lin Xi An said, "Didn't you say last time that the male worm country has advanced equipment and sufficient funds, so let me check if there is any capitalist in the empire who secretly has unknown funds?"

Gu Yu was slightly surprised: "You found out so quickly?"

Lin Xi'an said: "Then there's no need to check it, you can tell at a glance-Moser Corporation, the largest consortium in the entire empire, has a large amount of funds that cannot be estimated in detail flow into the charity industry every year."

"The amount of funds flowing every year is extremely large, but the name is very good. Can you accuse a big philanthropist like Moser to fund terrorist organizations in the name of charity? Be careful, the first one to scold us is The vast number of imperial bugs."

Gu Yu frowned: "Can't we involve them in the investigation?"

Lin Xi'an shook his head regretfully: "This is beyond the power of our military review committee. It needs an investigation order from the Supreme Court of the Empire, but it will take half a year to fight for this thing."

Gu Yu probably understood: "It seems that this clue is also broken."

Lin Xi'an spread his hands helplessly: "Anyway, I'll try my best to fight for it."

"Oh, by the way, there is some good news. I guarantee you will be happy to hear it, Colonel." Lin Xi'an put away his discouraged expression just now, and smiled like a fox.

"Oh." Gu Yu asked not very interested, "What is it?"

Lin Xi'an excitedly said for him: "Just now I got the news from the upper echelon of the military department, this time it is absolutely true, there is no fake - Colonel Gu, you are going to be promoted again!"

"After this promotion, he will be Major General Gu!"

General-level officers in the military department have always been rare, and promotion is even more difficult. Even Gu Yu, who was prepared to fight tough battles for several years, was stunned.

"Why so fast?" He asked in surprise.

Lin Xi'an said happily for him: "Hey, look at what you asked, this time you are in the counter-insurgency, but you helped the military to minimize the sacrifices, and even captured the high-level officials of the male insect country-although he died in the end, but It doesn't matter, your contribution is still there!"

"The military department hasn't fought much in these years. It's rare to have a few military achievements. If you don't get promoted, who will you promote?"

"Colonel Gu, oh no—Major General Gu, come back from vacation, remember to treat everyone to dinner!"

Lin Xi'an said with a smile.
