“…Sad.”

Ling Zhiyuan slowly handed over a letter, and after the woman took it tremblingly, he stood attentively and saluted.

The woman's face was a little pale. She hesitated for a moment and placed the letter on the small table behind her.

"That, little brother, can you tell me about my son if you don't mind?" A look of pleading appeared on the woman's face.

"good."

Listening to Ling Zhiyuan telling some stories about him and Zhuo Yu, a soldier of the same class, the old woman sometimes smiled and sometimes shed tears, but no matter what expression it was, Ling An knew that the woman's heart was full of sorrow.

On the way here, Ling Zhiyuan did not tell Ling An what he was going to do, but Ling An didn't mind at this time and listened patiently to Ling Zhiyuan telling their story on Mars.

However, Ling An could hear that Ling Zhiyuan did not talk about the matters that were really related to the Martian battlefield, most of which were just their daily resting days.

An afternoon passed quickly, and the woman's face was still sad, but her emotions had stabilized a lot.

"Little brother, thank you." The woman stood in front of the door, hesitated for a long time, and asked:

"Well, can I ask, how did Zhuo Yu sacrifice...?"

Ling An noticed that his elder brother Ling Zhiyuan was silent for a moment.

"Auntie, Zhuo Yu... is very brave." In the end, Ling Zhiyuan just said that.

The woman forced a smile, "Thank you, I understand."

After turning around and walking a few steps, Ling An heard a low sob coming from behind.

After leaving the community where the woman lives, Ling An looked at the older brother who was feeling a little depressed.

"Xiao An," Ling Zhiyuan suddenly said:

"Even if the aunt tried not to show sadness, I think you can understand the pain of losing a loved one."

Ling An didn't say anything.

"Maybe you will think I am cruel and have the heart to leave you alone. Maybe you will think I want to be that hero, but, brother tells you, I don't want to."

"I'm afraid, too."

This was the first time Ling An heard such words from his elder brother.

"Since you're afraid, then come back! You obviously have so many opportunities, why do you have to wait for now and regret it in the future?" Ling An couldn't help but ask loudly.

Passersby around couldn't help but look at the two brothers. But after Ling Zhiyuan's apologetic look, they politely withdrew their gaze and continued to walk their own way.

"Xiao An, I'm afraid, but I don't regret it."

"Look at all this around you. Such a stable life and hard-won peace only require a very small proportion of sacrifices for the entire human race. I am very happy to see you and Xiaoxuan grow up healthily, and I am also very happy to see the harmony and stability of the earth. These are enough, I don't regret it."

Ling Zhiyuan's eyes were full of sincerity.

"Then why do you have to go? You can't come back and let others do this?"

Even though this was a bit selfish, Ling An still couldn't help but say it.

"Why can't it be me?"

Ling An was stunned.

“Because you are our family, we don’t want to lose you…”

Ling Zhiyuan smiled.

"Zhuo Yu is the second son of the family, and he is most favored by his aunt; Wen Yan was going to come back to attend his sister's wedding, and this is no longer possible; Cui Yanbin just wanted to sit by the lake with his father again, but he died in a battle a month ago..."

“They all have family.”

This time, Ling An didn't dodge, and let Ling Zhiyuan touch his head gently.

"What's more, are you so unconfident in your elder brother? I am the fastest recruit to be promoted to C-level in this class." Ling Zhiyuan smiled.

"Hmph..." This time, Ling An didn't say anything else.

——

Outer space defense line on earth.

In a space sentinel, a ferocious alien with dark green liquid was covered with cracks on his body.

Its thick arm lifted a staff member, and a tentacle spread out above his head, turning into a large mouth full of fangs.

The evil dark red energy surged out from the big mouth of fangs, and brought some pure white gas from the constantly struggling staff.

Just as the big mouth was about to swallow it, the staff suddenly spoke decisively.

"Finally...the agreement...it starts..."

boom!

The staff suddenly exploded into pieces, and the explosion also impacted the arms of the alien race.

"Ahhhh!"

The seventh monk howled wildly. All the staff here were dead, but there was no complete body around him, only some fragments.

"Damn the glorious army...damn the transformation people...if it wasn't for the suppression of this rule... Go to the earth, yes, go to the earth!"

The surrounding space was torn open again, and a crack broke through the seventh priest's body, and dark green blood splashed out.
