Chapter 29 Is it worth it?
"You ask me if it's worth it?"
Listening to Shi Xuan's last question, King Yan couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Yes, this is the question Shi Xuan mentioned.
He just wanted to ask King Yan whether it was worth it to protect everyone in the entire Jicheng base regardless of his own safety over the years.
"Yes! You have protected them for so long, but in the end, they will still be merciless, spreading rumors about you, even insulting you, and despising you. Do you think that in order to protect such a group of people, you risk your own wealth and life? Is it worth it?”
Shi Xuan's eyes were full of doubts.
"This question is not just for you, but also for all people who have the world in mind from ancient times to the present. I actually want to ask them, is it worth it?"
Shi Xuan murmured with deep eyes.
"For example, General Yue, who was determined to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but was sentenced to death by the Southern Song Dynasty; and for example, Lord Wu An, who led his troops to defend the country, but was sentenced to death by King Zhao. These are fools like you who care about the world and serve the country and the people. , but the end is more miserable than the last."
Shi Xuan couldn't help but frown as he spoke.
"And the saddest thing is that in the mouths of later generations, their righteousness is rarely mentioned. On the contrary, most people laugh at them for not knowing how to adapt, thinking that they were killed because of their low emotional intelligence. Haha, isn't it ridiculous? ?”
Shi Xuan sneered, shook his head and continued.
"I don't know since when, everyone began to worship those villains who do whatever it takes to hurt others in order to succeed. They even came up with a heroic term to beautify them. I can't understand it, but I can't change it."
As he said this, Shi Xuan shook his head and smiled again, as if he was laughing at himself.
"I once thought about turning myself into a hero among others, but in the end I found that my heart is not that cruel. The most I can do is hide in Panlong Mountain and live my life without saving the world. I don’t want to hurt others, that’s the limit of what I can do.”
After saying this, Shi Xuan looked at King Yan again and asked again.
"But the longer I hide, the more curious I become, what do you fools think? Are you doing it for fame, profit, or power? And if these are not the case, then what are you doing for those who are ungrateful? Guys, what do you want to gain by dedicating your wealth and life?"
Shi Xuan was like a barrage, asking a series of questions in an instant.
After asking these questions, Shi Xuan instantly felt a lot more relaxed all over. It seemed that it was because the questions that had been pressing in his heart for many years were finally revealed.
"What do you want to get? Is it worth it? This"
However, facing Shi Xuan's series of questions, King Yan did not answer immediately.
In other words, King Yan simply didn’t know how to answer these questions.
King Yan himself had never thought about such a profound issue.
"I haven't really thought about these questions. Now you suddenly ask me to answer you. I really don't know how to answer you. If I talk about a bunch of so-called truths, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince myself, let alone you. "
Yan Wang pondered for a long time in embarrassment, and finally his eyes flashed suddenly, and he finally found an expression that could barely answer Shi Xuan's question.
"Well, let me tell you how I went from being an ordinary person to becoming the leader of the base little by little! Haha, in fact, I am not as great as you said. When I first started, I was really great. Selfish"
Yan Wang's eyes flickered as he began to tell his story.
In his narration, Shi Xuan also learned for the first time that the famous King Yan was a veteran doing ordinary security work in the old world.
After the end of the world came, King Yan did not immediately roll up his sleeves and vow to save the world like a savior after he awakened his powers.
At the beginning, he simply wanted to protect his daughter.
Yes, when King Yan was in the old world, he once had a daughter whom he loved very much. This daughter was only ten years old and was very kind and lovely.
Later, when the apocalypse came, it was also because of her daughter's words that she liked her father who was like a great hero.
King Yan took action for the first time. After losing his men, he saved a group of ordinary people who were being hunted.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that! I may not be the kind of selfless person you say. I first chose to save people because I just wanted to hear my daughter's praise."
King Yan touched his head and laughed.
When talking about his daughter, the eyes of this old man who had a sullen face all day began to melt.
""
After hearing this reason, Shi Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he was a little unexpected.
But seeing that King Yan seemed to have another story to tell, he didn't speak and just continued to listen silently.
But the next story is far less heartwarming than just now.
"But it's a pity that now I can no longer hear that girl's praise."
Speaking of this, King Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with deep sadness.
It turns out that King Yan’s ten-year-old daughter had died in a wave of mutant beasts three years ago.
Also in that beast wave, King Yan truly broke through to the fifth level and protected countless strangers, but he failed to save his own daughter.
"After that girl left, I was depressed for a long time, and I even thought about leaving with her."
A look of heartache flashed across Yan Wang's eyes, and then he continued.
"It wasn't until one day when I saw the father and daughter I rescued playing happily in the base that I suddenly woke up. I couldn't die so easily! Although the girl is gone, I can still take her with me If I want to live my dream, I want to save people, and I want to save more people!"
When King Yan said this, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes that were originally filled with despair.
"Then one day, when I see the girl again, I can tell her with my chest raised and my head raised that your father has not embarrassed you and is now a great hero! It is precisely because of this idea that I have reached this point. !Hahaha!"
After laughing, King Yan touched his head in embarrassment and continued talking to Shi Xuan.
"Actually, you are asking the wrong person with that question, because essentially, I am not the kind of person who selflessly dedicates to others for no reason without asking for anything in return. I am doing all this just for my girl. .”
But as he spoke, King Yan's eyes flashed with determination.
"But back to your question, from my perspective, I can tell you for sure that everything I have done is worth it, very worth it! Because these are all to fulfill my girl's dream!"
Yan Wang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he definitely spoke the truth.
But after listening to King Yan's words, Shi Xuan couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
"Did I ask the wrong person? Or was it that I was wrong from the beginning? There are no people in this world who selflessly dedicate themselves to others for no reason? Whether it is General Yue or Lord Wu An, there are many reasons behind their dedication of their lives. An unknown reason?”
