Chapter 52: Hesitation
Chapter 52
————
Not to go too far, if it was Jun Yi half a year ago, I'm afraid he would have agreed.
When he first came into contact with the human civilization in the book, Jun Yi was delighted.
She had kind thoughts and the first thing she thought about was saving.
At that time, she asked Radar if there was anything she could do for mankind.
That is a question from the heart.
If there is something she can do, she will do her best.
But a month ago, in Anlong Village...
That bowl of poisoned tea.
The pot where countless human flesh was boiled.
The naked body, the numb eyes that don't know how to escape.
That dormitory stained with blood.
And...two monsters fed by countless blood.
Now Jun Yi has seen the darkest side of human nature, and she hesitates.
Are these people really worthy of her saving?
They are so greedy, selfish, cruel, bloody, ugly...
'I give you the goodness of the most evil man.'
The last words Wen Wen said to her suddenly appeared in her mind. Jun Yi always felt that there was some connotation in this sentence, but she couldn't understand the profound meaning.
Jun Yi closed his eyes and lay down. The air-conditioned wind from a high place blew across Jun Yi's brows, unable to relax his tightened brows.
The residential buildings in the living area are not high. The northern base was formerly a standard military base, and the dormitory area was not that big. It happened that the ground was prone to frequent earthquakes, so shorter buildings were more stable.
Jun Yi lay on the rooftop of the eighth floor, enjoying the wind, until nightfall, his body was cold and he did not move.
Stars dotted the night sky. No matter what troubled her when she was a child, Jun Yi could just look at the stars and be free of distractions.
But now, Jun Yi can't calm down.
Her heart was in a mess, like a ball of yarn that a cat had played with all afternoon.
"So you are here." A deep middle-aged male voice came from above his head, and Jun Yi knew it was radar even before he opened his eyes.
Compared with ordinary awakened people, Radar's heartbeat and the sound of footsteps falling are softer.
Jun Yi didn't want to talk for the moment, so he simply ignored him.
But Radar sat down next to Jun Yi.
"Everyone who joins the superpower team will take an oath under the national flag." Radar raised his head and looked at the sky that was still glowing with white light in the distance. After a while, the white light dissipated, and night would fall completely.
"From that moment on, our lives no longer belong to ourselves, but to all mankind. From then on, every decision we make should be from the perspective of all mankind. The interests of mankind are above all else, and in our hearts
Remember these words.”
"But a month ago, I broke my oath." Radar suddenly lay down next to Jun Yi. He looked at the sky from Jun Yi's angle. Stars were sparsely scattered on the dark sky, like dots.
The sparks burned small holes in the night.
"As the leader of the supernatural team, I ignored my own safety and went to prison B - for Wen Wen."
Hearing this name, Jun Yi opened his eyes.
"He is your brother."
"Yes." Radar responded: "I knew I had a brother when I was very young."
Radar pursed his lips. This is a long story.
"Before the end of the world, my family was a famous and prosperous family in H City, and I am the eldest son of Lei."
"When I was a teenager, I always had some rebellious thoughts. My family asked me to inherit the family business, but I wanted to be a soldier. I even went to the military academy despite my father's wishes." Speaking of the past events before the end of the world, Radar felt like he was in a daze.
Talk about the past life.
So many things have happened since the end of the world, things have changed and people have changed, and the surrounding environment has also undergone earth-shaking changes. So much so that when people now recall their lives in the peaceful and prosperous times, they seem to be covered with a dreamy veil.
"In order to arrange my 'future affairs,' I came up with the idea of my legendary brother. I hired a private detective, and sure enough I found him. He was not doing well at the time. He was wearing a high school uniform and was as thin as
One stroke, but my academic performance is pretty good.”
"I gave my younger brother to a small company under my control, and secretly funded his study abroad, thinking that one day, I would let him come back to recognize his ancestors and inherit the family business. How could my father not notice my little trick? But he acquiesced.
"
Radar didn't quite know why he said this to Jun Yi. Maybe the two of them had fought side by side, and the enemy was Wen Wen.
Talking is a need that everyone has, and Radar is no exception.
Obviously, Jun Yi is a qualified listener.
Jun Yi blinked and asked, "What then?"
"Then I went to the military academy. Because of my excellent performance, I became a special forces soldier and became a captain. I remember that when I got the news from Wen Wen again, I had just finished a difficult closed training. Someone told me that my
My younger brother became a murderer and has been in jail for more than a month."
"I couldn't accept this matter, so I chose to remain silent and forget it. I pretended that I had never had this younger brother, so that I never cared about this matter again. Wen Wen was like a little shadow, forgotten by me.
in memory."
Jun Yi heard this and wondered: "Wen Wen introduced himself at Century Church a year ago. Why didn't you recognize him at that time?"
Radar chuckled and slowly closed his eyes: "Maybe I have never been interested in him. I don't know his name. I even just glanced at him from a distance when he was in high school."
For the young and energetic Radar, an illegitimate brother is just a substitute who can take his place and get rid of the burden of the family business.
He looked down upon Wen Wen from the perspective of a almsgiver, and even felt complacent about changing his life.
He helped him, but didn't pay attention to him. He didn't even have an open heart-to-heart communication with him...
"When I looked up Wen Wen's information and found out that he was that child, I couldn't explain how I felt. I took the initiative to go to Anlong Village to find out in person, because I had a vague feeling that Wen Wen was there."
That was the first time that Radar forgot his identity, forgot his mission, and did something regardless of his own life.
He did not retreat, but turned around and went to the center of the thundercloud.
Because he knew Wen Wen was inside.
The child he had supported on a whim when he was young did something wrong.
"When I saw the thundercloud, I knew it was you." Radar put his hand under his head and said to himself: "Because of intuition."
"No one from my family survived in the early days of the apocalypse, and they all died in City D. The only one who has no news is my daughter. She should be nine years old this year." Radar took out a pocket watch and opened it, revealing a
Whitened photos.
It was a little girl of five or six years old, with braids and a cute strawberry hairpin on her head, smiling at the radar with bright eyes.
The corners of Radar's mouth curled up, and he smiled unconsciously.
Jun Yi looked at Radar's expression with curiosity. It was the smile of a father towards his daughter, full of love and happiness...
