IJWTRQ Chapter 072

When Liang Xian was young, he thought he was an orphan. His father’s surname is Yu, and his mother’s surname is Zhou, but his surname is Liang. He can see his father once every two or three years, and his mother once a year. For the rest of the time, his grandmother takes care of him.

Grandma told him that both parents are busy, Liang Xian should be considerate of them as good child, and as long as Liang Xian is good, they will come back to visit him.

Liang Xian is very good, but no matter how obedient he is, he can’t see his parents.

Grandma showed Liang Xian the video of the troop commendation meeting, pointed to one of them, and told him that this was Dad.

Little Liang Xian is very envious of those soldiers who have won honors, not because of the honors they have received, but because they have seen his father more times than him.

At that time, Liang Xian decided that he wanted to be a soldier. In the future, he would become a soldier under his father, so he could see his father every day.

Sure enough, shortly after he told his grandmother about this wish, he met his father.

Dad asked him if he really wanted to be a people’s soldier.

He said yes.

Dad said again, I am a soldier, but I will not force my son to follow this path. You can choose your own life, as long as you don’t commit crimes, you can work in whatever industry you want.

Liang Xian said, Dad is a soldier, so I want to be a soldier too.

The father, surnamed Yu showed a rare smile, hugged him, and said, it’s my son.

Xiao Liang felt extremely happy, it really was the best choice.

So Liang Xian from the kindergarten was sent to a special school, where there are a group of children like him, who not only can’t see their parents, they can’t even see their grandmothers.

The kindergarten teacher is not a soft and beautiful aunt, but a tough man. They check the children’s bodies every day, determine the training intensity they can bear, and train the children to the limit every day.

Liang Xian was very tired. He wanted to hug his little wolf dog doll to sleep, but he didn’t bring the little wolf dog with him. Personal items are not allowed under the full military management.

There are no wolf dogs, no parents, no grandma, only a group of adults who say you are a man and you have to be strong.

Crying is useless, there are many small children crying together at night, but no one will pay attention to them, as a man, can shed blood but can’t shed tears.

Gradually, Liang Xian stopped crying. He heard that there will be winter and summer vacations, and there will be parent-teacher meetings. As long as the grades are good, parents will be very happy at the parent-teacher meeting.

He worked very hard to get first place in the exam, but no one attended the parent meeting. Grandma died of a heart attack. Liang Xian, who came home from the winter vacation, attended her funeral.

After two more years, his mother also passed away. She is a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and she does not care about rest when she does research. She was born with a heart condition, and one day she finally got tired and fell ill, and passed away while Liang Xian was training.

At the funeral, he still didn’t see his father. Father went abroad to perform a mission and couldn’t come back.

When his mother and grandmother were hospitalized, Liang Xian was in closed training, so he missed the chance to see them one last time, and only had time to attend the funeral.

For the first time, Liang Xian had doubts about his own choice. The purpose of being a soldier is to defend the country. They will fight for the country when they grow up, but what about the family?

Perhaps in order to protect everyone, it’s always necessary to sacrifice the small family.

Liang Xian continued to study and train hard. Some people praised him for inheriting his mother’s smart mind and father’s physical fitness. In order to make himself more similar to his mother, he studied hard and won first place in every exam. And made Cui Heyu, who was transferred halfway, cry.

Cui Heyu, who couldn’t get first place no matter what, cried a lot. It doesn’t work no matter how the instructor educates him. After all, he is only a primary school student, he cannot be beaten or scolded, so they invite his parents to do the work.

Although Cui Heyu’s father is an important government official like Minister Yu, his mother is a full-time housewife. She rushed over as soon as she received the call, hugged the little Cui Heyu in her arms, and coaxed him for a long time, before Cui Heyu wiped away his tears and stopped crying.

Liang Xian, who won first place in every exam, looked at the mother and son coldly outside the door, thinking that Cui Heyu was really annoying, and that he had never seen such an annoying person.

Even if he wants to cry, there is no one to comfort him.

From then on, Liang Xian bullied Cui Heyu harder, crushed him with his grades, and made him cry with his strength.

It seems that every time Cui Heyu cries, he can see his mother running to comfort him with a concerned face.

It’s a pity that Cui Heyu didn’t cry anymore, they have grown up. Cui Heyu has changed from a cute little crybaby to an annoying boy who fights against him every day. Liang Xian can’t see Cui Heyu crying in his mother’s arms.

Che, boring.

Whether it is training or learning, everything is boring.

Liang Xian took first place all the way and was admitted to the university with ease, a special class from high school to the first year of university, and one year of preparatory class.

It is said to be a preparatory class, but it is actually a year of actual combat training. They had just grown up that year, and actual combat training was the final assessment for them to become qualified soldiers. Everyone was randomly assigned to the regular army, and the army gave them a score based on their performance during the year, and this score directly determined whether they were qualified to become students of the special class of the Central Military Academy.

Liang Xian had the best grades and was assigned to the most dangerous team, which was also under Minister Yu.

He followed Minister Yu’s team all over the country for a year to hunt down a group of mercenaries who stole state secrets.

In the final battle, Liang Xian, as the vanguard, attracted the attention of the enemy and provided cover for the team to steal back the secrets.

That battle was very tragic, his companions were all dead, and Liang Xian himself was also wounded and captured. The enemy somehow learns that he is the son of Minister Yu and offers to negotiate for the exchange of the confidential chip they have just retrieved.

During the negotiation, they asked Liang Xian to talk to Minister Yu. Liang Xian spoke to his father without hope, and heard Minister Yu say in the communicator: “Son, you must hold on, we will definitely save you.”

He knelt on the ground and laughed, because Liang Xian knew that Minister Yu’s words were not meant to save him, but to let him find a way to hold back the enemy, making the enemy think that Minister Yu would really trade secrets for his son, to buy time for large troops to evacuate.

He was abandoned, and while being abandoned, he had to buy time for everyone.

Liang Xian told the enemy that his father would definitely come to rescue him, and pointed out a place where he was trading on the high seas.

The enemy took him on board, but they didn’t know that at this time, but did not know that the majority of the team was not on the high seas at all, but had already evacuated.

Liang Xian pretended to faint from the torture and jumped directly into the sea while the enemy was not paying attention.

The enemy shot him in the arm, so Liang Xian dragged his injured hand and soaked in the sea for a day and a night, he was lucky to meet a warship at the border, and after confirming the code, he was rescued on board.

After waking up, Liang Xian was lying on the hospital bed and didn’t see Minister Yu, who had gone to report to the relevant leaders.

The doctor told Liang Xian that he had been tortured too hard by the enemy and his right hand had been shattered and fractured, plus he had been hit by a bullet and soaked in seawater for a day and a night. Even if he can recover, the hand will be useless in the future.

In order to see his father, he chose the path of joining the army, and was eventually abandoned by Minister Yu, becoming an invalid.

The army gave him extremely high marks, and Liang Xian once again entered the university with first place. But when everyone was in military training, he was lying in the ward. The doctor said that his hands were useless.

He is right-handed, but his right hand is useless. In the future, let alone pick up a gun, he can’t even lift chopsticks.

He has been lying in the hospital for three months, but the injuries on his body are still not fully healed. This day was the beginning of the military training. Liang Xian was lying on the hospital bed, and with strength coming out of nowhere, he changed his clothes, jumped out of the window, and ran to the school.

Who said that if one arm is injured, it is useless. He still has a left hand. After training, he is still the same as a normal person.

Perhaps because he refused to admit defeat, or because he refused to accept his fate, Liang Xian insisted on military training with his injuries all over his body, and this may be the last explanation for himself. He just failed like this, and he will no longer be a soldier. It would be good to be a scholar. Anyway, his brain is smart enough, and it’s not that he has no way to go.

His mission was top secret. The instructors and classmates thought he was only slightly injured. The foot pierced by the bayonet was regarded as a poisonous snake bite, and his arm was only broken.

The students said he could train with the next class next year, but they didn’t know he didn’t have it next year anymore.

This is Liang Xian’s last waywardness, and it is also the chance he gave himself.

Lao Zhou disagreed with him participating in the training, so Liang Xian called Minister Yu directly, in fact, he didn’t know how to persuade Minister Yu, maybe he would trade his injury for a chance to be self-willed, after all, it is military training for students, so he can still be self-willed.

In his life, he has never acted coquettishly with Minister Yu, and now he is injured, it’s okay, right?

But before he had time to be self-willed, Minister Yu agreed, and Liang Xian himself felt incredible.

Why did Minister Yu agree to him?

Liang Xian walked into the line with doubts, and stood behind a young man who was unfamiliar.

All the students in the special class grew up together. He had never seen this man before, who is he? Why is he in the special class? The military training was also assigned to a group with himself?

There were too many doubts in Liang Xian’s mind, he couldn’t help becoming curious about Tan Yan, and even accidentally told a little bit about what happened during the mission.

Tan Yan is a person with a good personality, which is reflected in all aspects. He likes to take care of his teammates, does not care about gains and losses, and will lend a helping hand to everyone around him.

He is a soft person, such a person will suffer in society.

While observing Tan Yan, Liang Xian thought this secretly.

But in the next second reality gave Liang Xian a slap in the face. A soft person will indeed suffer, but a soft person who is strong enough to kick the sky out, who would dare to take advantage of him?

The sudden arrival of the ‘void’, Tan Yan’s superhuman strength, and his yearning for superpowers all gave Liang Xian new hope.

He suddenly understood why Minister Yu agreed with him to participate in military training, it was because of Tan Yan’s strength.

Minister Yu… probably hoped that he could awaken his superpowers and restore his health, no matter what, is still a father.

Liang Xian knew that other people might have countless opportunities to enter the ‘void’ to awaken their superpowers, but not him. If he can’t find a way to replace his own hand, he won’t have a second chance.

So he wanted to awaken his power almost as if he was dying. In fact, Liang Xian didn’t need Tan Yan’s care at that time. He felt that it was best to be able to awaken his power after being exposed to the air of another world. If he couldn’t awaken it, it would be okay to just die.

But Tan Yan did not give up on him. Along the way, Tan Yan has been taking care of him, and has been carrying him, this burden on his back.

Tan Yan said that he can do whatever he wants, and he will be his support.

It’s a bit ridiculous to say that Liang Xian’s childhood fantasy of his father, is the kind that is able to support both heaven and earth¹頂天立地 dǐng tiān lì dì: lit. able to support both heaven and earth; of indomitable spirit..

He returned to the real world half-dead and seriously injured. Liang Xian felt that it didn’t matter, he was just a cripple if he wasn’t injured, so he might as well give it a go.

And he won, when he opened his eyes again, his hands and feet were intact, and all the injuries on his body had healed.

Liang Xian clenched his right hand incredulously, as strong as before he was injured, and his fist could kill a cow.

Minister Yu gave up on him, but God didn’t give up on him, and neither did Tan Yan.

Liang Xian once thought that his feelings for Tan Yan were a kind of empathy.

He met Tan Yan when he was most desperate, Tan Yan broke all his previous thinking patterns, Tan Yan never gave up on him, and Tan Yan rescued him. He suspected that he was looking for the fatherly love he had never had in Tan Yan, and regarded this feeling as love.

With such thoughts in mind, Liang Xian observed Tan Yan silently, trying to get close to him, wanting to understand him, trying to wake himself up, and telling himself that he can’t like a person because of illusion or gratitude.

But the more he knows, the more he like him, and the closer he gets, the more he can discover the difference between this person and Minister Yu.

Minister Yu is a leader, shouldering all the people, his duties dictate that he has to sacrifice something, and he does not have the energy to pay attention to the people around him.

Tan Yan is different, he is gentle and kind, and considerate of everyone around him as much as possible. While he is strong, he is also a little weak. Tan Yan looked so pitiful when facing his studies, Liang Xian couldn’t help but take care of him.

The origin of emotion may be just gratitude, or maybe it’s real empathy. But Tan Yan is so beautiful, the closer he gets to him, the more he will be attracted.

Liang Xian knew that he really liked him, even if Tan Yan was older than Minister Yu, it couldn’t shake Liang Xian’s feelings.

In fact, Liang Xian knew that there was deep loneliness and exhaustion behind Tan Yan’s strength. He is just strong and strong-willed, but when it comes to dealing with the world of people, Tan Yan is actually at a loss, he is not good at it. In fact, he likes to be in contact with people, but he just doesn’t know how to express it.

This time the task was very difficult, Tan Yan chose to save people, but Liang Xian did not stop him.

Only those who have been abandoned know how happy it is to know that someone can come to their rescue in the midst of despair.

Liang Xian decided to support Tan Yan to the end, but the task was too difficult, and they couldn’t rescue more than a thousand people.

Can come back half, it is already the best result, but what to do with the dead, who will be responsible for their lives?

At least Tan Yan can’t be allowed to bear this kind of burden, he will blame himself for the rest of his life.

So Liang Xian stepped forward. He snatched the right to speak in front of Tan Yan, forcibly suppressed the crowd, made them act according to their own wishes, and used the most decisive way in exchange for the least sacrifice, putting all the blame on himself.

Finally, he came to the end, just one step away, but he was bitten.

Liang Xian immediately separated the woman from the crowd, he acted very calmly, in fact, his heart was very desperate. He was infected, Tan Yan… can he still catch him?

The woman cried and begged Tan Yan, saying that she could take the child to do the experiment. In fact, Liang Xian also had the same idea. Zombie virus is an unknown virus, Qiao Zhixue may think that this virus has research value.

But Tan Yan refused, he said that for the sake of billions of people in the real world, he could not bring any danger back.

Liang Xian prevented Yan Yongfeng and Tu Zishi from telling Tan Yan the truth. He concealed the matter and advised Tan Yan not to put the supernatural team in the protective cover. He stood at the back of the line, let go of his hand at the last moment, and watched his companions go home.

It’s not that Liang Xian never thought of begging Tan Yan to take him back. He is a supernatural being, and there may be a new turning point. Tan Yan values him so much, maybe he will agree?
But Liang Xian didn’t try, he didn’t dare to try.

He had already been abandoned once by Minister Yu, if Tan Yan also chooses to abandon him, he would not be able to bear the result.

Call him a coward or have no courage, this time he gave up on himself.

Don’t make things difficult for Tan Yan, and keep the best memories in the heart.

Seeing that everyone had left, Liang Xian pressed the bite wound on his arm, walked towards the corpse of the fifth-level zombie king, stood beside the corpse and observed for a while, took out the equipment from his backpack, and prepared to do a test on the zombie virus.

Even if he’s going to die, he has to understand before dying.

Liang Xian 😭😭

I know Minister Yu is a good man, an excellent leader, but he’s definitely not a qualified father. Duty is important, but if duty is everything you have, why even have children and practically abandoned them?
