Chapter 50: The Heart of Freedom

The excitement and confusion of the reunion finally ceased at Nora's reminder.

"Renault, time is running out." Nora said.

"Understood." Renault replied.

Then he shouted, "All right, everyone be quiet now, it's not over yet." An infantry regiment was coming this way, and Stark and Nora were intercepting them. ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Tycos was already roaring, "I'm going to kill them." ”

"No!" Renaud exclaimed, "Tycos, don't be impatient, I have something to say to you." Until then, we need to organize. Now all officers above the rank of lieutenant are listed......"

Renault called the names of more than thirty officers in one breath and began to give orders in an orderly manner.

The good discipline of the soldiers was brought into full play at this moment, and the ranks, which numbered as many as three thousand people, did not cause confusion, but were quickly formed under the leadership of their respective commanders.

For every hundred people, a large phalanx of more than 3,000 people quickly formed.

Renault stood at the front of the phalanx, looking at the group of soldiers, his eyes slightly moistened.

After calming down a little, Renault said loudly: "I know everyone's mood now, you must have many questions. Honestly, I have it too, why the hell is that? How did it happen? What happens next? What will happen to us in the future? I don't know the answers to these questions, and the only thing I can tell you is...... We were abandoned by the government. ”

All the soldiers looked at him and remained silent.

"Yes, the government abandoned us! For unknown reasons, we have acquired some special abilities, and because of this, they treat us as white rats in the laboratory, and let those scientists do all kinds of experiments on us. ”

"We are soldiers, we are soldiers who were born and died for the country! But what do we get? It's abandonment, it's betrayal, it's shameless betrayal! Renault roared.

There was still silence.

But there was a fire of anger in everyone's eyes.

These days, what they have been through has made them realize what has happened to them.

As Renault said, this is a betrayal, a betrayal!

They didn't cry because they had understood before then, they had grieved, they had hurt, they had despaired, and they had looked forward to it.

Because they know Renault is still there!

As long as the chief is around, there is hope.

Heaven lived up to their expectations, and Renault came.

It brings freedom, but also hope.

So without saying anything, they stood there and listened quietly.

Renault continued: "Of course, in the eyes of those bureaucrats, it is not them who betray, but us, me! I broke into forbidden places, killed a large number of soldiers, and rescued prisoners, although I don't know what crime you committed. In their eyes, it was me, and you, who betrayed the government. So what will happen next can be similar...... We'll be wanted, we'll be fugitives from the Union. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you...... You think I've brought you freedom? No, it's not. On the contrary, if you follow me out of this basement today, tomorrow you will be sinners of the Federation, and we will have no future. On the other hand, if you choose to stay here, then one day, maybe they are completing all the experiments and you are still alive, they may let you go. You may have some pain, some danger, but you may also have a settled second half of your life. ”

"Yes, that's the reality. My efforts may not bring you a peaceful and happy life, the only thing I can bring you is...... It's freedom. ”

"Freedom of the person, freedom of rights, and freedom to be hunted down."

"Whether you want to live a stable life like a caged bird or live a free and dangerous life like a wolf, the decision is up to you."

"So, which path do you choose? Is it to follow me out? Or stay? Renault asked, looking at everyone.

The soldiers looked at each other.

To be honest, they didn't think much of it before this, they just knew that they were trapped here, hoping that someone would come and rescue them, and it wasn't until Renaud said this that they realized what it meant to be released.

A soldier raised his hand tremblingly.

With Renault's permission, the soldier asked, "Sir, can't you expose them?" I mean, even if we run away, we can still fight for our rights. Public opinion will be on our side, and maybe that will make them bow their heads. ”

"Perhaps...... As you say, just maybe. Renault replied: "I don't deny that it's possible, and if I leave here, I do." But I have to say that we'd better get our hopes up less. Personally, I don't think it's going to be of any use. The mastermind behind this matter is the Federal Academy of Sciences, which is directly under the federal government. In other words, it's the core decision. This means that if the matter is revealed, it may be a group of big people who fall. Believe me, no one wants to see such a scene. They won't let that happen. And they can do it, don't trust the conscience of the media, those who call for justice and conscience know better than anyone where the government's bottom line is. If they crossed the line, they would have died a terrible death, and this thing definitely crossed the line. So we can't send out the news, and even if we put all the evidence on the Internet, it will just be like throwing a pebble into the sea, bubble and disappear quickly. No one but us will know everything that is going on here. ”

Having said this, Renault looked at everyone again: "So, the time to choose has come." Stay here, at least you can live, the future may be difficult, but it may not be risky. And with me, you may be free for a short time, but the road ahead is destined to be muddy and full of thorns. It is a path with no future in sight, doomed to darkness and difficulty, and when we set foot on it, there will be no turning back. Now, I hope that you will carefully consider your choices and make your decisions carefully. Whatever you decide, I will respect him. ”

He looked at everyone.

One of the soldiers' faces turned pale, and he said: "I'm sorry, sir, I have a lot of respect for you, but I can't follow you, I still have my family......"

Renault nodded: "It's okay. ”

One soldier withdrew.

Soon, some more soldiers stepped forward.

There are always people who can't accept that reality and can't accept that they are rebels.

They may be tested here, but there will always be light in the darkness, and if they leave here, maybe the darkness will hang over their heads forever.

Renault didn't blame, he understood everyone's choice and just waited silently.

In the end, about 300 soldiers were reluctant to leave.

Renault let them re-enter the freezer.

Looking at the rest of the people, Renault smiled: "I didn't expect so many people to want to stay, so you all already know the meaning behind this choice, right?" ”

Tycos chuckled, "Isn't it just fighting, sir." Fighting with the gods is fighting, fighting with the Zerg is fighting, and fighting with humans is also fighting. Lao Tzu has long had enough of those bastards, if they don't come to provoke us, forget it, but if they do, then don't blame us for being rude. ”

"That's right! And them! Everyone shouted in unison.

"Free!"

"Free!"

"Free!"

Everyone shouted loudly together.

Looking at their excited appearances, Renault's eyes also showed a little moistness.

Doing whatever it takes to save everyone, it's not this response that I want.

You can't expect everyone to understand your efforts and follow you at all costs, but it's enough to get the support of the majority.

Renaud knew this very well, so he did not feel heartache for those who left, but moved for those who remained.

All of this is just for this touch!

"Then, from this moment on, the partners who stand with me, we are destined to live and die together!"

"We no longer fight for them, but for freedom!"

"We are no longer part of the federal government, but only ourselves!"

"We're going to have a new identity, and I'm going to call it ......"

"Free Heart!"
