After Nie Ping finished speaking, he stood there and gave Zhang Yong time to think.
The overhead lighting flickered on and off, as if the voltage was unstable.
There was a long silence.
Zhang Yong’s voice was a little dull:
"Chief, if this Lin An is him, then why are the higher-ups just suspicious."
"He even named the base after the plan."
"Based on Lin An's performance in the simulation, he is more than a potential threat to the entire China..."
"And, since you know this, why do you still object to the higher-ups interviewing him?"
Nie Ping pondered for a moment and glanced at the end of the corridor:
"It's precisely because Lin An used the word Long An when he established the base."
"If he had recovered all his memories, he would never do such a thing!"
"A man who is absolutely rational and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals will not expose himself to our sight."
"The scenes he experienced were so painful that he was filled with hatred for us."
"So, whenever he recovers his memory, he must be lurking, or even pretending to be someone else and actively sneaking into us."
"Then, bit by bit, kill all the executors of the original plan!"
"Leave no one behind!"
"So, the authorities think he only remembered the word Long An. After all, that is his most unforgettable memory."
"But for the sake of safety, the higher-ups still plan to test it out."
"After all, Lin An is a defective product and it's just a matter of loyalty."
"He performed very well in the simulation. At least in terms of completing tasks, he was able to complete almost all impossible tasks, but his methods were a little bloody."
“Such a perfect performance.”
"So many people feel that the issue of loyalty does not need to be too demanding."
Nie Pin suddenly turned around, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"for example."
"I..."
Nie Ping climbed from a small soldier to his current position step by step, and was not as rigid as some military families.
In his opinion, as long as he can complete the mission, he is a good soldier.
It's no use being obedient.
That's cannon fodder.
The people above wished that everyone was like a robot, and that everyone was a loyal soldier.
He doesn't think so.
The question of loyalty?
As long as it's not treason.
Nie Ping continued with a somewhat complicated look:
"Besides."
"He rebelled against his superiors and killed his superiors because the settings of those scenes were too extreme."
"In addition, it is the end of the world now, and extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times."
"This kind of talent can be put to great use as long as he is not allowed to regain his memory or simply develops feelings slowly."
"There are too few such warriors in our country."
Zhang Yong understood what the old general meant, and he hesitated and asked:
"Chief, I still don't understand something."
"Since Lin An performed so badly in the test, why did he just clear his memory?"
Nie Ping waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to worry about this issue anymore.
Zhang Yong's subtext is asking: Why not just kill Lin An?
That's the safest way to do it.
"The superiors felt that cleaning up the memory was enough, and someone secretly took action to protect him."
"Who it is is not something you and I can discuss."
"This is the end of Lin An's matter. It depends on his reaction next."
"Keep talking about your business."
Zhang Yong nodded repeatedly. The news he learned today really shocked him.
Nie Ping pondered for a moment, then glanced at the light above his head that was restored, with a solemn expression on his face:
"I have already reported the [Long'an Plan] for you."
"You will report for duty tomorrow."
"Of course, this [Long'an Project] is a little different, but the purpose is still to cultivate powerful awakened warriors to fight against the doomsday."
"The above learned lessons from the past and will not set up extreme scenarios again."
"So you don't have to worry too much."
"only..."
Nie Ping looked at Zhang Yong's face and sighed softly, word by word:
"You must remember who you are!"
After seeing Zhang Yong's firm nod, Nie Ping couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
hope...
It's still not too late.
...
Longan base, celebration dinner.
The bonfire is warm, and the bright playground is full of laughter.
Groups of students talked and laughed, and everyone opened their hearts in a rare moment of relaxation.
The aroma of roasted lamb on the fire is fragrant.
Drops of grease dripped into the campfire along the crispy skin, splashing with sparks.
Lin An is sitting in the center, with Wen Ya on the left and An Jingtian on the right.
Zhang Tie took Gao Tian around and greeted other survivors with a cheerful face.
The fire flickered.
Lin An's side face was painted a soft orange-red color, while Wen Ya sat beside him and slowly turned the grill.
"Brother Lin, haven't we ever replied or privately chatted with the Capital Military Region?"
An Jingtian used a dagger to cut open the roasted crispy lamb leg and handed it to Lin An:
"I saw information about the Wangjiang Military Region in the channel, but not about the Linjiang Military Region."
Lin An took the fragrant leg of lamb and replied nonchalantly:
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"Pay attention to adding all survivors in the base to the base list. We will be able to see them when they send messages to the outside world."
"Tell this out before anyone wants to talk privately."
An Jingtian wanted to say something more, but Lin An raised his hand to stop him.
"Come on, Sedum."
"I don't want to think about these things today."
He looked up at Lin An, only to find Lin An looking at him with a gentle smile and holding a bottle of beer in his hand:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
An Jingtian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took it.
I have everything...
He thought of the past, of his childhood.
Lin An, who was not much older than him at that time, always stood in front of him like a little adult, and then turned around and smiled to comfort him when he was crying.
I have everything...
.......
"Team Lin!"
"Look what delicious food I brought back!"
“It smells so damn good!”
Zhang Tie proudly held up two large skewers, which had just been grilled by the canteen chef in the survivors.
Gao Tian helplessly covered his forehead. This black bear was walking back and forth in front of the barbecue stall. The barbecue master was so frightened that he hurriedly grilled it for him.
Seeing this, Wen Ya covered her mouth and chuckled, then held her face in silence.
He looked at Lin An, who was having a drink with Zhang Tie.
"Ah...burp..."
"It feels so damn good!"
Zhang Tie raised his head and burped, smiling stupidly, as if he was too drunk.
Lin An smiled helplessly. He was obviously an awakened person, so why did he still act like he was drunk?
"Captain Lin, I haven't been this happy for a long time."
Zhang Tie looked at Youwei who was grilling fish, his face full of tenderness.
Since the end of the world, there hasn't been a day as relaxing as tonight.
There is family, there are brothers, there is good wine, there is good food.
And also has its own "home".
As if he had drunk too much, he suddenly looked at Lin An in a daze:
"Captain Lin, the greatest luck in my life is that I, Lao Zhang, met you."
"My parents died early, and I don't have much ability."
"Really, in this life... no one treats me better than you."
Lin An lowered his head and used a dagger to cut open the leg of lamb and handed it to Wen Ya.
I don’t know why this idiot likes to talk nonsense when he’s drunk.
After Zhang Tie paused for a moment, his voice suddenly became a little deeper:
"I want to ask you something, Captain Lin."
"What if I die one day."
"Please take care of Youwei on my behalf..."
Lin An paused when he heard the sound, and the knife in his hand suddenly froze.
He didn't expect Zhang Tie to say such words.
Lin An slowly raised his head, stared into Zhang Tie's eyes and said seriously:
"That won't happen one day."
"If there really is one, Youwei is my sister."
After hearing this, Zhang Tie grinned, an ugly smile.
Then, as if he was relieved, he dragged An Jingtian around and started running around like crazy.
"Crack-pop-"
The dry firewood crackled and gave off bursts of warmth.
On the playground.
Groups of survivors from the base suddenly gathered around, and the leader of the awakened ones raised his wine respectfully as if to summon up courage:
"Lord Lin An! Let's toast you!"
With trembling wrists, the boy who was toasting looked nervously at Lin An, who was bowing his head. The brave girl shrank at the end, secretly looking at Lin An, who was bowing his head.
"oh?"
Lin An raised his head in surprise, then raised the drink in his hand with a smile:
"Don't be so formal, have fun."
He remembered that this person was a student who was searching for supplies with him.
The leading awakened person nodded excitedly, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin An! Then we won't disturb you anymore!"
Not caring to wipe his mouth, he bowed excitedly and led the others away.
"Lord Lin An, Your Excellency Gao Tian, Miss Wen Ya."
"Huang Zheng also wants to propose a toast to you."
"Do it first out of respect, do it first out of respect!"
The original leadership of the college bowed down with humility and drank the white wine in their glasses.
Many people have taken off their suits and replaced them with uniforms that are more convenient for work.
When we returned, the crowd couldn't help but chatter in low voices.
"Let me just say, Master Lin An is actually quite easy to get along with!"
The leading awakener looked proud and whispered what happened when he and Lin An were out together.
"Yes, Master Lin An smiled at us!"
Many students hiding behind were a little excited and couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Many girls from the dance department were bolder. After seeing that Lin An didn't look like a man-eating monster, they cautiously approached Lin An slowly while holding drinks.
...
"You're quite popular."
"I think those girls are eager to surround you."
"You are really brave, and you are not afraid at all."
Wen Ya couldn't help but tease Lin An, but her tone was a bit sour.
Lin An took the peeled fruit from her and didn't care:
"Then are you scared?"
"If you are not afraid, come to my room at night."
Wen Ya was stunned, her body stiffened, and her face flushed.
