The two-way words are like two hard stones jumping out of the empty master, and then bounce up, even if they are finally broken, they will not have the slightest deformation, and they are tough and stubborn and indescribable.

Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment, confident and arrogant hidden under her ordinary face, she didn't care about the impassioned Xu Le on the hospital bed at all. Just listening to these three sentences, I can't help but feel a little scared, if the soldiers of the Federation are such tough people, I am afraid that the upcoming war will be really difficult to fight.

"I promised you to die with dignity. She put down the coffee cup in her hand, looked at his emaciated face and said slowly, "Since you think this way of dying is undignified, and you have decided another way, I have to admit it." A captive who is paralyzed, if you can't provide corresponding benefits for the empire, the empire will naturally not be able to support you in vain. ”

"I can't say that I'm looking forward to that day, because no one is not afraid of death, but since that day is bound to come, it doesn't really make much sense for you to say that. ”

Far away from his hometown galaxy, alone in the depths of the imperial enemy, Xu Le, who is uncertain about life and death or destined to die, is in this last time. It seemed that he had recovered some of the shadows of the orphans on Bell Tower Street back then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Huai Caoshi with a rather playful smile: "It's just that you seem to have won that gamble." ”

"The bet between you and me wasn't fair in the first place. Huai Caoshi replied, then took out the booklet and asked, "Can you explain what I found from you when I captured you?"

Xu Le glanced at the old booklet, and his thoughts were very electric and instantly returned to the planet full of ice and snow years ago.

Captured to the Imperial Tianjing, he had never looked at the sky of the enemy's base camp, only the endless darkness and the snow-white ceiling of the ward, the people around him were all enemies, the air was full of the smell of a foreign land, and he missed everything in the past more than at any other moment in his life.

The subordinate brothers of the seventh group, the group of the Guohu Engineering Department, the group of mecha who moved silently between the ice and snow, he even missed the monster Iron Seventh Division trained by Du Shaoqing, the ice "forest" of the highland valley of 3320, the road lost in the wind and snow and the deep pit next to the road, the corpses of countless federal civilians in the pit, the military diary of an imperial ** official and the gray eyes of a little girl of the Federation who couldn't close her eyes,,

"I think you've already read this booklet. Xu Le replied: "This officer named Arthur, who was shot by your own people because he was unwilling to carry out the order of the expeditionary force to massacre, I have to say that he is the first revolutionary who I would not describe as a beast." ”

Huai Caoshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness gradually dissipated, but she did not speak.

Xu Le didn't seem to feel the cold gaze at all, and frowned to himself and said, "You asked me about my unwillingness before, but in fact, my unwillingness is really a lot. ”

He calmly looked into the eyes of the herb. said: "You are the butchers of the universe, and it is a great pity that we cannot completely eliminate you.

Huai Caoshi shook her head after being silent. said with a slight mockery: "I thought that if I took you to Lichen and read our textbook, you would have a relatively objective and sober understanding of history, but I didn't expect that it would still be a waste who was brainwashed by Lianmang." ”

"Don't you think it's ridiculous that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess said brainwashing to a citizen of the Federation?, or do you think that the role of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is only used to direct the chorus?" Xu Le retorted unceremoniously.

"This is war. "There has never been a just war in the history of the universe, especially when this war takes place between the Empire and the Federation, and you don't have any moral bargaining chips. ”

"Of course war is war, as George Carlin said many times. Xu Le stared into her eyes and said, "But war is definitely not a massacre of civilians. ”

"Your Federation military is not all moral role models like you. The mockery on the corners of Huai Caoshi's lips was even more meaningful, "If you look through the history of the Empire's resistance to aggression, you can find countless examples that show that those comrades-in-arms of yours are not much different from beasts. ”

Xu Le was silent for a long time, and replied in a slow voice: "What is wrong is wrong, who is this and who is wrong." Factions are irrelevant. ”

"What would you do if you encountered something like this in the army?" said Huai Caoshi looked at him like an idiot.

"I don't know. Xu Le replied honestly: "But don't get me wrong, I'm playing a moral pretender at this time, I've always just lived according to my habits, whether it's assassinating Medellin or fighting you on the Xilin front, I just think that these things should be done, so I did it." ”

"Prince Delin is the most outstanding member of the royal family in the history of the Empire, and my Uncle Ji. Huai Caoshi said calmly.

"Thank you. Xu Le said very seriously. In two very simple sentences, he knew that the person who died in the mouth... The true identity of the Imperial Seed under the three times, and the self-portrait of killing Medellin with his own hands, is tired enough to have a relatively dignified death, and this highness at the bedside must make a lot of efforts.

Huai Caoshi gently put the diary of the emperor's ** official on the table, and then looked at the old diary cover and was silent for a long time, wondering if he was sketching everything that happened in Xilin in his mind.

"The temperature in the ward was good. She woke up from her thoughts and looked at the beads of sweat on Xu Le's forehead. Said indifferently: "Do you think it's hot?"

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans were constantly pouring out from the roots of Xu Le's hair at this time, and then trickled down the corners of his eyebrows, instantly wetting the entire pillow, his thin thin cheeks were unusually pale, and his thin lips were trembling tightly, but the smile in his eyes was still so natural.

"It's not hot. Xu Le's voice became more and more hoarse.

Huai Caoshi finally couldn't help frowning and shook her head, and said, "Why endure it?"

With that, she turned and left the room.

At the same time as the door of the ward was closed, Xu Le's spirit suddenly relaxed, although his whole body that was already paralyzed could not show anything, but the sweat gushing out of the thick black hair increased suddenly, his brows were furrowed extremely tightly, there was no smile on his face anymore, his lips grinned painfully, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and the roots of the teeth kept oozing blood, looking extremely miserable.

Since waking up from a near-death coma, he has been suffering from immense pain, unable to move his body, but his internal sensations have become more acute. The shattered power channel concubine became countless sharp fragments, cutting around unscrupulously, and his nervous system was seriously damaged, and he wanted to feel the pain of this kind of knife cutting flesh clearly.

There are also those magical scorching powers that have finally broken through the obstacles, although they are no longer suppressed by the power of Huai Caoshi's fingers, they can no longer be controlled, scurrying under their bodies, turning into thousands of tiny hot whips, whipping every cell of him, the slightest feeling.

It's not Ling Chi, it's better than Ling Chi, Xu Le's pain is beyond measure, even if he crushes his white teeth, he can't last longer, if Huai Caoshi didn't leave before, he might not help but let out a painful moan.

To die with dignity, you must first ensure your own dignity, he insisted, so he smiled and mocked the conversation, and refused to let the muscles on his cheeks twitch a little from the endless pain.

Sweat trickled down his body like a river, wetting his pillow. Wet bedding, wet all night, until the strange morning light of Tianjing Star seeped through the window, his face was extremely pale and weak, only to realize that he had fought with that pain all night.

How many people in this world can endure this kind of pain?

can endure things that ordinary people can't bear, naturally not ordinary people, this kind of people probably as long as they don't accidentally die in their climbing career. In the end, something great will will always be accomplished, because they have too strong perseverance and will to support them to resist to the death.

Xu Le can endure it because he is unwilling.

Before he wore the general's uniform, he returned to the dim and boring Donglin mining area to take a look at the cafes, taverns, libraries, major recuperation centers, the long-legged policewoman and the police officer named Goose Longtao;

The men and women on the page haven't finished their stories yet, Gao Zhiyuan hasn't gotten married yet, how can the white girl end?

He hasn't touched Jian Shui'er's black hair with his own hands, he hasn't warmed his lonely right hand with Shang Qiu's greatness again, he hasn't replied to the kindness of that beautiful girl, and he hasn't found out the truth about his uncle's death.

I haven't driven the turbo and gone to Lin Banshan on the highway to have crazy racing with the stupid sons of those councilors, and I haven't gone incognito to go somewhere crazy singing and dancing and love.

has not forced Magnolia to cut off the tiresome strand of hair floating in front of his forehead, has not taken Xiong Linquan to carry Da Linquan with Da Lin's gun to help Da Vinci snatch his sister on the thirteenth floor home, and has not yet sung the twenty-seven glasses of wine with Shi Qinghai.

I haven't had time to tell everyone that I am Xu Le, Xu Le, an orphan in Donglin, and not Xu Le, a squatting soldier.

How can you be willing to die?

Suicide is a battle, but also a new gamble, and with nothing to lose, he has to gamble this last one with his own life.

Turning his head with difficulty to look at the first white morning light of the willow tree outside the window, Xu Le breathed rapidly and tiredly, and an abnormal flush appeared on his pale face.

In the Empire, this morning light should be called fish belly white. Only dead fish will turn their unsightly white bellies to fishermen or tourists.

He's not dead yet.

He closed his eyes and resisted the pain with unimaginable perseverance, breathing slowly. The emaciated body on the hospital bed remained motionless. The ten postures that I had practiced since childhood began to reproduce in my mind one after another.
