Chapter 62: Leia’s World
Otherworld Crisis Era 4024.
Alien invasion stage.
In order to resist alien beings, humans have cultivated generation after generation of superhumans gathered with the majority of advantages, who will operate mecha weapons to rescue human society!
……
However….
“So they are actually just weapons on the battlefield, right?”
A group of kids in their teens, who should have been running freely under the blue sky and white clouds, are now in a closed white laboratory, undergoing various experiments and tests that even their adult counterparts cannot bear.
Chen Yuan furrowed his brows, as if he could see the future of these children.
One shouldn’t think with the mindset of their own world, but how can he not reflect while living in the sunlight?
“Ryan, do what you should do, this is all for the continuation of humanity.” The superior opened the door to the laboratory, and the children’s eyes were nearly vacant, like machines…..
“……”
Chen Yuan did not respond; he walked into the laboratory.
Taking several numbers ordered from above, these children are now ready to enter formal combat training…..
In the future, they will be his soldiers…..
……
“Commander, have some candy.”
“Thank you.”
“Commander, will we d*e?”
“If you want to, then I’ll try my best?” Chen Yuan smiled.
“Mm~ The Commander is so bad.”
Under Chen Yuan’s careful care, these children are a little more like normal kids, at least not overly obsessed with training.
Except for…… Leia…..
Chen Yuan: “Where’s Leia? Why isn’t she here again?”
“She’s still at the training ground.”
“This girl, even ranked first, is still working so hard?”
“She said she wants to protect us.”
“Ha, just her?”
“Hahahaha……”
“Alright, I need to go get you something to eat. Keep an eye on Leia and make sure she pays attention to resting.”
“Got it~”
Getting along well with a group of children who are about to face d*ath…..
But Chen Yuan knows they are all bound to d*e…..
And he can only save as many as possible, including Leia who is needed for the mission…..
……
Leia is a very remarkable girl, also the oldest among the children. She learns everything almost instantly and always ranks first in all testing experiments and battles!
However, because of this, she is a bit proud and aloof, which is perhaps something that every genius might have to some extent.
When fighting together, she always takes the lead, charging to the front to protect the others.
This undoubtedly increases Chen Yuan’s task difficulty; he must ensure her safety as much as possible.
Several times, she has risked her life alone and nearly lost it!
Chen Yuan has scolded her more than once…..
“Why don’t you just go d*e?!”
Yet she is unrepentant, and she sticks her tongue out at Chen Yuan…..
She seems to carry some fortune of the chosen one…… a mere side character would have died by now…..
But…..
Her submissive yet rebellious personality has destined for a tragedy to occur!
A child of destiny also needs to grow up…..
……
“Shar!! Shar!!”
Inevitably, casualties eventually occurred in the second year of fighting side by side…..
The youngest, Shar, unfortunately died in battle…..
Leia lost control in an instant…..
“Leia!! Come back!!”
“Shar is already dead!! Can’t be saved!”
Ignoring all, she only knew to charge forward…..
Chen Yuan watched the last footage transmitted from the front lines as Leia recklessly charged into the enemy’s ranks…..
“Leia!! This is an order! I command you to come back!!”
For the first time, he called her in an authoritative tone, but all that came back was a crackling electric sound…..
The screen went blank…..
……
She was still rescued back…..
The cost was…… the sacrifice of two additional teammates…..
As a weapon, the most taboo is losing control…..
If it were any other commander, she would have been declared scrapped already, even if she was very capable…..
But Chen Yuan kept her situation hidden…..
Her punishment was sufficient; the two additional teammates sacrificed left behind only a damaged mecha…..
No need to blame her; she had done well…..
“I clearly…… wanted to protect them……” Leia sniffled softly in guilt.
“It’s not your fault……” Chen Yuan looked up at the night sky; war is cruel like this, he knows.
Chen Yuan: “I think they wouldn’t blame you either. They also wanted to avenge Shar and wanted to protect you; that’s what comrades are for……”
“No one can always remain rational, no one……”
“Commander, I’m sorry……”
……
“Ryan, why did you report the need for a mecha?” Superior Ronanis puzzled; a commander wanting a mecha for the front lines.
“If it comes down to it, my life might still be of use.” Chen Yuan said grandly.
After Shar’s sacrifice, Chen Yuan became fearful of what if Leia faced a similar situation or encountered some crisis and suddenly died…..
He thought about it; perhaps this is the only way he can support the front lines at any time…..
But actually, at this moment, Chen Yuan already knew under what circumstances he would likely d*e.
“Although you also came out of the laboratory, you are now too old. Forcing mecha operation is very dangerous.” Superior Ronanis reminded him verbally but did not refute Chen Yuan’s request.
He knew Chen Yuan seemed different from other commanders; requesting this mecha, he could probably guess the reason…..
“You will be the first case of a commander personally going to battle……”
“I hope I won’t see news about your d*ath on TV.” Ronanis handed the mecha keys to Chen Yuan and instructed.
“News can’t be faster than communication?” Chen Yuan took it, speaking lightly: “You will only receive news of my d*ath in the frontline report.”
After saying that, Chen Yuan waved his hand and strode away…..
……
Although it was a relatively heroic thing, in this world, nobody likes this.
Because with this thing comes the obligation to go to the front lines.
However…..
Chen Yuan didn’t care about that; his focus was different…..
The mecha!!
Do you understand?!
The romance of a man!
Chen Yuan held the newly received transformation device with affection; it was just a core carried on his back, shaped just like Iron Man’s chest piece.
Intelligent, transforms at a shout!
High-tech!!
Of course, its combat power is not as exaggerated as Iron Man’s, even less than Earth Tiger Hero.
The main purpose of this thing is protection, just like riding a motorbike with a helmet, mainly to protect the body while operating the mecha.
At the same time, it also serves as a key; without it, you cannot operate the corresponding mecha.
Chen Yuan quietly played with it in the training ground for a while, and after he was satisfied, he put it all away.
Refreshing…..
The innate adaptability is quite sufficient…..
After this, he just needs to keep training, and not let his skills dull…..
That way…… if any emergencies arise later, he can also rush to the scene…..
This matter cannot let Leia know…..
