After exhausting myself to death

Seventeen years have not been able to dilute the memories he left for everyone in the alliance. Even his voice and tone of voice are still the same as in memory.

It was as if these times were just a narrow river, and they and this man were facing each other across the water, as if they were in the old days.

"Marshal Tang." Shen Minghuan greeted politely.

Tang Chaoyan was not surprised that the other party recognized him. He asked curiously: "How can you conjure a sword?"

Shen Minghuan looked at his right hand: "..."

It turns out that normal SS level can't do it?

The long sword disappeared in his hand, Shen Minghuan's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know either."

Yan of the Tang Dynasty was still very young when he died. His spiritual body fixed his age, and his slim combat uniform made him look more heroic.

He had a smile on his face and was high-spirited, a smile that belonged to the genius commander of the Alliance.

He is the only one who can smile so freely and calmly, while others are a little less proud and confident than him.

Not only because of his own strength, but also because he is backed by the love and trust of the entire alliance.

No one can face the unpredictable world with more confidence than him.

But he was eventually abandoned by his own supporters.

Shen Minghuan sighed, "Has the Marshal been here for the past seventeen years?"

"Ah?" Tang Chaoyan also imitated him and sighed, "Has it actually been seventeen years?"

Then the two of them stared at each other, and then laughed out loud in unison.

The Zerg Queen on the side was trembling, not daring to disturb the conversation between the two.

The mecha that fell to the ground conveyed everything in front of it quietly and faithfully, in exchange for an even emptier silence under the Alliance sky.

Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Shen Minghuan didn't need to ask any more questions. Tang Chaoyan actively explained, "At that time... oh, seventeen years ago, I couldn't see this thing."

He pointed at the phantom of the Queen of the Zerg, "I was controlling my Hope Mecha to kill everyone, making the Zerg cry for father and mother, but then I felt something drilling into my brain, and I accidentally... Being squeezed out."

He was referring to his spiritual body being squeezed out of his physical body.

As the first SS-level member in the league, no one could teach him that his spiritual body could be released without the help of a medium.

"It snatched my body, so of course I wouldn't do it. I just fought it. It couldn't kill me and I couldn't kill it. Then it tried to escape. I didn't stop doing it. I just chased it here and continued to fight. ." When Tang Chaoyan said this, he glared at the Zerg Queen Xuying mockingly.

He is undoubtedly a genius. After he was unprepared and suffered a blow at first, he quickly learned how to survive and attack using his mental state.

No one can live forever, certainly not the spiritual body.

Tang Chaoyan and Shen Minghuan stood together. His shadow was obviously much lighter. There was almost no light gold, and only a few transparent shadows remained, as if they were scattered by the wind.

He didn't realize it, but he was still in high spirits: "It must regret messing with me in this life. I was much better at the beginning than I am now. I beat it until it couldn't eat, and it lost a lot of insects."

In the Tang Dynasty, Yan's eyebrows were dancing with joy and pride.

Shen Minghuan looked at him steadily and said softly: "About six or seven years ago, the alliance was peaceful for nearly ten years."

——"Marshal, the period you mentioned was ten years of stability for the alliance."

As if infected by Shen Minghuan's serious mood, Tang Chaoyan's smile slowly faded, and he said calmly: "It's a pity that I didn't hold on, and it was chaotic for another seven years."

He sighed, "Seven years."

He didn't feel that those ten years were long, but instead felt sad about every day and night of these seven years.

The distant Emperor Star is bright and dark, flowers bloom and wither, and snow falls after the rain stops.

The barren insect star has no seasons.

Tang Chaoyan kept his eyes open and dared not fall asleep even in the darkest and quietest night. He was fighting all the time.

At the beginning, he didn't know how long he would persist, but with the Alliance behind him, he had to persist until he could no longer hold on.

Tang Chaoyan did not say these words, but everyone who was watching and listening to all this could think of it.

Turns out this is the truth.

It's not tragic, it's just a day and night journey with no end in sight, it's just hopeless struggle and blood and tears.

Don’t dare to be distracted, don’t dare to feel homesick, don’t dare to relax, don’t dare to be weak for a moment.

The traces of time become blurred, maybe a long time has passed, maybe it's just a moment.

He stays here, guarding the insect star where the sunrise cannot be seen, in exchange for the long grass and orioles flying in his distant home, and the spring breeze is like intoxication.

Although Shen Minghuan has witnessed many legends, he has to admit that these seventeen years of perseverance can undoubtedly be called a miracle.

"Now, I have said so much, can I ask you a question?" Tang Chaoyan looked at Shen Minghuan expectantly.

However, after Shen Minghuan nodded, he suddenly hesitated.

"Are you, are you..." Tang Chaoyan gritted his teeth and asked loudly: "Are you seventeen years old this year?"

Tang Chaoyan, who had been fighting with the Zerg Queen for seventeen years, now seemed to have to use up all his courage to ask a question, and he did not dare to ask the real doubts until the end.

He clenched his fists unconsciously. If his mental body could sweat, he would be sweating profusely by now, with cold sweat soaking through his clothes.

Under Tang Chaoyan's nervous gaze, Shen Minghuan nodded again.

An expected answer.

Tang Chaoyan exhausted all his energy while waiting. His always straight back bent slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "How have you been in these years?"

Shen Minghuan was silent for a moment, "Marshal, you must have misunderstood, I am not."

"It's right that you don't want to recognize me. I'm sorry for you and A'li."

Tang Chaoyan's eyes were guilty and gentle, "You must be having a hard time. Did Mo Hongxue take care of you? There are also teachers, the principal of the First Army, Xie Xu, Chang Qing, Fan Ting, Lan He, Qiu Shuang, Daming, Zhixuan, Zhao Qi...are there one or two..."

Are there any people who have given you some kindness because of my existence?

Or have I only left you with unexplainable sins and an extremely rough life?

Shen Minghuan sighed, with complicated eyes, "You..."

Tang Chaoyan probably knew that he would ask such a question.

Knowing his bad reputation, Hexing.com belongs to him in the messy square.

"I saw that I killed the adjutant." Tang Chaoyan murmured softly, "I originally thought... I thought they would believe me, but here you are."

He smiled reluctantly, and his figure seemed to fade a little, "You are only seventeen years old, no matter what... you shouldn't be here..."

Tang Chaoyan never failed the alliance in his life, it was the alliance that failed him.

He stood alone here day and night, but the people behind him who he fought for were reluctant to give him any trust.

First, he killed his wife and then wantonly insulted his son.

"Ah!" Fan Ting half-knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky, cried and roared, and stabbed the knife across his neck.

Not only him, but also the long list mentioned by Tang Chaoyan just now, every one of them wanted to commit suicide on the spot.

They scolded this man for seventeen years.

For more than 6,200 days and nights, this man stayed on the insect star day and night, and they, the protected people, used the most vicious words to insult him, and even harmed his children without any hesitation.

Shen Minghuan was seriously ill from exhaustion not long ago.

Insect Tide was not praised for such a great contribution, and he didn't even receive a few kind words.

The reason why I didn't get the official appointment from the alliance until today is because they asked for something.

They gave him the most dangerous tasks and the most arduous requirements, but they did not give him the same honor and treatment.

With his talents, he should clearly be the pride of heaven and be treated with dignity and respect, but now anyone can insult him, and people who are not as good as him can force him to do whatever they want, without even a word of "thank you" in the end. .

"I volunteered." Shen Minghuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Tang Chaoyan. The two spiritual bodies merged, and the figure that was almost dissipating seemed to solidify.

Shen Minghuan said: "I am not your son. He is living a good life. Do you want to go back to the alliance to see him?"

Can you come back?

Fan Ting and others, who were grabbing weapons to commit suicide with their colleagues, suddenly stopped. The people around them breathed a sigh of relief and put their hands behind their backs and pushed them to the ground to prevent these people from continuing to do stupid things.

Fan Ting and others let him do whatever he wanted without struggling, and could only shed tears.

If I could come back, if I could come back...

The key words have been spoken, so there is no point in pretending.

"You are my son. You don't have to admit it, but that's the fact." Tang Chaoyan returned to the smile he had when we first met him. He emphasized seriously and seriously, and then smiled again, "I've been dead for so long. Where else can we go back?”

"I can." Shen Minghuan said, "I can take you back if you want."

[Host, this is against the rules and Heaven will not allow it. ] The system whispered.

Shen Minghuan ignored it and only looked at Tang Chaoyan.

"My son is so filial." Tang Chaoyan chuckled, "There is no free lunch in the world. When a person dies, he dies... I mean, I won't go back."

He should have died a long time ago. The reason why he is still here is partly because of his persistent obsession and partly because of the weirdness of the planet's magnetic field.

He sighed: "You also said that you are not my son. I can see at a glance that you have no intention of leaving here. Since you were a child, as a father, I have never accompanied you, learning to walk, doing handicrafts, practicing mecha... this time It’s hard to get a chance.”

Shen Minghuan gave up on the topic of struggling to have a son. He glanced at the camera, pulled Tang Chaoyan and quickly explained the "identity swap" in a low voice, "You still have time to regret it now, do you want to go back?"

Tang Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took a breath of cold air, bent over and coughed rapidly.

"Fuck." The marshal cursed loudly while coughing.

He was afraid that Shen Minghuan would misunderstand, so he didn't dare to waste a moment. He coughed and struggled to tug on Shen Minghuan's sleeve, and insisted persistently: "You are my son!"

He knew that the young man wanted to hide this matter, so Mo Hongxue was innocent, and he was still the clean Qinglong commander.

The Alliance has not made mistakes again and again. It is still a powerful and just ruling organization worthy of everyone's respect and love.

But what to do with this person?

Where in the vast world is he going?

Shen Minghuan was stunned and did not continue to refute.

During the two months when the original owner was imprisoned, the guards were angry and naturally could not deliver three meals on time.

Shao Kunli saved his share every time, and the original owner never went hungry. Later, when he was sent to the destroyer and encountered turbulence in time and space, it was Shao Kunli who risked his life to protect him.

The original owner was too young to remember these things, but Shen Minghuan knew about them.

If you don't look at the initial exchange of identities, he is really more like the son of Yan of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the original owner's slightly absurd life also started with Ms. Shao Kunli's acquiescence.

Shen Minghuan lowered his head slightly and smiled sarcastically.

"You really don't want to go back?" Shen Minghuan pointed at the mecha with a gentle smile: "There are cameras on it, live broadcast, Marshal, everyone will remember everything you have done for the alliance."

If you go back, you will be a great hero of the alliance. Everyone in the world will be indebted to you and everyone will be ashamed of you.

Tang Chaoyan rolled up his sleeves, "That means those white-eyed wolves can see and hear, right?"

He faced the mecha with his hands on his hips, his face full of anger, but he didn't say the next word for a long time.

"marshal?"

"Forget it." Tang Chaoyan put down his sleeves, "The matter has come to this, there is no point in talking about it anymore. I care about one thing more than this. Please, you must satisfy me."

Shen Minghuan raised his eyes: "What?"

"What's your name?" Tang Chaoyan looked serious, "This is very important to me."

"...Shen Minghuan."

Tang Chaoyan recited it and praised: "Ming Huan, what a good name, I remember it."

He saw Shen Minghuan jumping on the mecha and groping around, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Shen Minghuan didn't look back, "The mecha is controlled by mental power. I'll try to see if I can activate its self-destruct program."

He smiled in the direction of the camera, "Actually, it can be started by the alliance, but... I'd better do it myself."

So that you won’t be able to do it, so that you won’t feel guilty for the rest of your life.

"Oh, it turns out to be... a self-destruct program?"

Tang Chaoyan's smile grew colder little by little, "They added a self-destruct program to your mecha?"

"I mentioned it myself, ah, it can be started."

Shen Minghuan nodded with satisfaction, and said with some trepidation: "I don't know if it is powerful enough to blow up the insect star. If I had known better, I would have improved it."

Tang Chaoyan did not disturb him and watched his operations quietly. Finally, he asked sadly: "I can't stop you, can I?"

Shen Minghuan turned back to smile at him and nodded again.

The live broadcast room suddenly went dark.

On this night, if you live on a planet adjacent to the border, you can look up at the sky and see a field of gorgeous shooting stars.
