IJWTRQ Chapter 125

Liang Xian collapsed on the chair, and the members of the supernatural team beside him were also in the same posture.

These five months are really too exhausting.

From April to September, five months, a total of 153 days, 97 ‘voids’ appeared in 153 days, what kind of concept is this? An average of 1.58 days will encounter a ‘void’, which means they spend almost every night in the other world, and during the day, they have to lead the awakened supernatural beings to a suitable position for training, it lasts for five consecutive months without a break, even an iron body can’t bear it.

For the first 40 ‘voids’, they brought three to five hundred people into the ‘void’ each time according to the plan, only awakening two or three people at a time, the speed is slow, the effect is not good, and the number of people is not easy to control. In some disaster-type worlds, just entering and not having time to return, several soldiers on the edge were killed by the disaster, and their lives disappeared so easily.

Later, Tan Yan suggested that he shouldn’t enter the ‘void’ for the time being, and let Liang Xian lead the team to enter, while he waited outside the ‘void’.

Due to Tan Yan’s special status, once he enters, the ‘void’ will disappear, but not for Liang Xian and others. Even if Liang Xian already has the ability to return to the real world, the universe or more mysterious forces don’t seem to recognize Liang Xian, and the ‘void’ still exists after he enters.

And Liang Xian can tell the little deer through the transfer of consciousness of the world’s situation, once it is determined that the level of danger in the world is low, Tan Yan will lead the team into the ‘void’.

This time it was no longer three or five hundred people, but thirty thousand, fifty thousand or even one hundred thousand.

With such a large number, the operation of all soldiers entering the ‘void’ was finally completed within five months, and a supernatural team was established, there are more than twenty thousand people here, it is the first shot of human beings to fight the post-apocalyptic defense war.

The supernatural team is the core strength of this team, other people can rest, they cannot. During these five months, they sometimes slept only one hour a week and could only doze off with their chins propped up when they returned to the real world. Only these ten minutes of respite a day, then immediately put into the intense training.

Teach the new supernatural soldiers how to discover their own power, train them to become stronger, and cultivate supernatural soldiers who can stand alone within a limited period of time.

In the morning when the first phase of the mission was finally completed, the members of the supernatural team were extremely exhausted, while waiting for Minister Yu to conclude this stage of victory before the meeting, they all collapsed in their chairs and fell asleep.

When Minister Yu saw this scene when he entered the conference room, he didn’t wake them up, but instructed the control center to raise the air conditioning temperature so that they wouldn’t catch a cold.

Even so, they only squinted for half an hour before opening their eyes. There seemed to be an alarm bell in the heart that kept them from sleeping soundly.

Liang Xian opened his eyes and saw Tan Yan sitting beside him with his back straight, as if he hadn’t acted with them in the past five months.

But in fact, Tan Yan is more tired than them, he shoulders the safety of everyone, and the departure of each soldier will make Tan Yan’s back stiffer. Even so, he still didn’t fall asleep, his eyes were always bright.

The members of the supernatural team also woke up, when they saw Tan Yan, they sat up straight, their fatigue was swept away, and they turned back into energetic elite soldiers.

They looked at Tan Yan, followed Tan Yan, and took him as a standard, as an example, their companions encouraged each other, and it seemed that they were not so tired.

But what about Tan Yan? He has persevered for forty-one years.

Minister Yu recalled when he first met Tan Yan, the old-faced police officer couldn’t hide the fatigue in his eyes.

He said, my wish is to retire, after retirement, I will get a good night’s sleep before going to see the world.

Such a simple sentence, but only today did Minister Yu understand the meaning of this sentence.

Someone might say, Tan Yan was originally a space traveler, he has lived for many years and is very strong, unlike ordinary people, and can withstand it.

Yes, he gritted his teeth and persevered, but the fatigue and hardships were the same as those of others, there was no difference.

Seeing that everyone was awake, Minister Yu said: “First of all, congratulations to everyone, after five months, we finally achieved the first stage of victory, in the face of the ‘void’, combat effectiveness has increased, and there is enough reserve force, no longer like before only less than ten people can be used, everyone has worked hard during this period, and your sweat has not been in vain!”

The conference room erupted in applause.

Their meetings are rarely so formal, most of the time is spent discussing and summarizing, making plans for the next step. But this achievement is indeed gratifying, everyone can’t help but applaud for themselves, for the army, for the country, and for the world.

“I know everyone is tired, but we don’t have time to breathe. Before the end of December 2019, is the second stage, during this process, we need to select young and excellent policemen with good physiques from the public security, procuratorate, and law departments to enter the ‘void’. The team is also quite large, troubled everyone.”

“Guaranteed to complete the task!” The members of the supernatural team said in unison.

“At the same time, we will develop memory chips, and strive to produce memory chips that can truly protect ordinary people in the other world by the end of 2020. Not asking for one person in the whole country to have one, at least let all minors under the age of 18 should get a chip.”

In a country, no matter what time, the first to sacrifice must be the soldiers, they are the walls built with flesh and blood; The highest priority must be to protect the children, they are the spark for the continuation of the race.

“Therefore, during this period of time, Tan Yan will no longer engage in front-line combat, he will cooperate with Professor Qiao to develop the chip, and Liang Xian will take over his task.” Minister Yu said.

Everyone on the supernatural team was taken aback, even Tan Yan didn’t expect the next step would be this.

He hastily raised his hand and said: “Minister Yu, I can cooperate with the research during the day, and accompany everyone into the ‘void’ at night, and at most, I will no longer participate in the training work.”

Tan Yan’s initiative silenced the members of the supernatural team.

For a long time, Tan Yan non-stop 24 hours a day, simply didn’t know what rest was. At the beginning of the establishment of the supernatural team, Minister Yu said that Tan Yan would retire soon, he will lead the way, but the rest depended on the strength of the supernatural team.

Now is the time, but why would they feel uneasy without Tan Yan? Fear of every other world without him.

Minister Yu’s words made the supernatural team realize that even after all this time, they were still so weak.

When Tan Yan was around, they seemed to be omnipotent, not even afraid of sacrifice and bloodshed. Now just hearing that Tan Yan no longer participates in front-line operations, they feel as if a piece of their hearts have been gouged out, and they have no confidence in their hearts.

Only then did the supernatural team, who thought they had grown up, realize that they had been relying on Tan Yan all the time, they hadn’t grown up at all, and they were just fledglings who couldn’t live without adults.

It’s time to leave the nest.

Liang Xian pressed Tan Yan’s hand: “We accept the mission, you should rest.”

Tan Yan stared at Liang Xian in a daze: “You guys… don’t need me anymore?”

“We need you,” Liang Xian said sincerely, “We’re intimidated by the operation without your leadership, and I don’t even know if I can take on this daunting task. But we can’t go on like this, we have to grow up, even if growth is painful. Now that you haven’t retired, you are still our reserve force, we can still ask you for help if something happens, but…”

He didn’t say something like ‘If you’re gone, but we don’t have the experience of leading the team independently, it will be a disaster’, he hoped that Tan Yan could live for a long time, even if he retired, he would live a leisurely life and leave the burden to young people like them.

However, Tan Yan’s life is a ticking time bomb, no one knows when this body will fall down.

Even if his back is still strong, and can block the storm for everyone.

He and Tan Yan met in September 2018 and fell in love in January 2019, they’ve been in love for 9 months so far, but they rarely have the opportunity to spend time alone together. This is especially true in the last five months, all contacts are mission. In the future, even their contact time will be reduced, he will be busy completing the mission, and Tan Yan will assist the research team in making defense chips.

This is probably the love of soldiers, no matter how reluctant it is, the mission is always the priority.

In the past, they still had time to eat a fancy Western dinner together, but now they don’t even have such an opportunity.

Minister Yu looked at the sticky eyes of the two, and interrupted them with a sigh: “Tan Yan, the organization has given you two choices, first, wait for the end of your life according to the original plan; Second, if you need a body and consciousness, there will be countless volunteers, including me. This is not murder, but a willingness to sacrifice one’s life to extend your life because you are very important and the country needs you. We respect your wishes and will not force you.”

The supernatural team felt a little cruel at first, but after thinking about it, if they used their own lives to extend Tan Yan’s life, they would be willing.

Tan Yan only felt that he was now facing the most difficult choice in his life, whether it was the task he was just assigned to or the choice proposed by Minister Yu. Even with the experience of the past thousand years to choose, it is still so difficult.

He also wants to continue to protect this world, even if it is not beautiful and has many disadvantages, but if his own existence can make the world a little bit better, he will use all of it in exchange for this insignificant beauty. But equally, he doesn’t want to harm others.

After pondering for a long time, Tan Yan firmly shook his head.

“I won’t take another person’s life again,” Tan Yan raised his head to look at Minister Yu and said, “You’re right, it’s not murder, it’s like a parent willing to give a child an organ for transplant, it’s a dedication, but it shouldn’t be like this. I have lived for a long time, and I know better than anyone that feelings are the easiest to be worn away by time, now I can stick to my heart and will not actively hurt others by living for myself. But what about the next hundred or thousand years? Repeatedly replacing my body will make me numb, and I will not value life as much as I do now. Sooner or later, I’ll become a pathetic existence like the Evil Consciousness.

I am very grateful to the country for the attention and trust in me, but I will not do this.”

Minister Yu smiled bitterly: “I respect your choice.”

Whether it’s him or the organization, can’t think as clearly as Tan Yan. Confused by the immediate benefits, not thinking about the future.

Minister Yu looked at Liang Xian, his son who had grown up rapidly this year, seeing Liang Xian with his head down, tears falling on the table.

No matter how many times, Tan Yan’s choice will not be love, nor will it be Liang Xian.

Even so, Liang Xian wouldn’t blame Tan Yan in the slightest, because this person is always so noble and admirable.

He’s just sad, uncontrollably sad.
