doomsday lamb

From that time when he became the adjutant to before the "first major counterattack", it was probably the happiest time after the disaster of Xiao Heizi.

At that time, he was avenged and had a bad temper with the people around him.

After having an organization, Xiao Heizi no longer had to live in hiding as before. After getting rid of the fear, every extra day he lived was earned, and he felt relaxed.

Lang Hua had seen a smile on his face many times, a smile that had never appeared on the face of this dark and thin boy.

Then, at the beginning of the decade after the end of the world, the rebels declared war on the Star Thieves, and the "First Counterattack" broke out. The smile disappeared from the young man's face.

Instead, there was a look of perseverance that Lang Hua couldn't describe clearly.

I can't tell whether it's hate, expectation or suffering.

At that time, he heard Xiao Heizi mention his sister for the second time.

He said: "For my sister, I must win this war."

Xiao Heizi said similar words several times later, but Lang Hua's answer changed several times due to the turmoil of the current situation.

How did you answer this young man that time?

"Yes. We will win."

Probably that was the firm tone.

Then, although the boy's smile had disappeared, Lang Hua saw the brilliance in the boy's eyes.

…

The "First Great Counterattack" occurred in the tenth year of the Cataclysm in the previous life.

At that time, seven years had passed since the "Star Thief" group showed its traces and the truth of the apocalyptic conspiracy was exposed. During these seven years, there was constant friction between the two parties and they understood each other.

But it is not called the "first great counterattack" because there will be a second, third, and even more times after that.

The coalition government finalized the name to represent -

Eradicating the puppet army camp planted by the Star Thieves on the surface is only the first step in humanity's counterattack.

The next step will be to attack the headquarters of the "Star Thief" group located in near-Earth space, and then organize an army to attack the Star Thief's hometown...

loud slogan

, and the extremely bright prospects in the fantasy are enough to excite all survivors on the earth.

But who could have imagined that not only did successive victories fail to appear, but the human resistance army after the disastrous defeat did not even have the strength to organize a second or third counterattack.

And this "first major counteroffensive" would turn out to be a disaster.

It would be the only massive group resistance in the entire history of human disasters.

The enemy's strength is simply beyond what the rebels could have imagined.

Human beings know only a little about the "Star Thieves" group, and they don't know that what they know is just the tip of the iceberg.

After the major counterattack, the top forces of the coalition government shuffled and completely lost their vigor. They changed their strategy against the enemy and only retreated and defended.

Until the twelfth year of the end of the world, the "Homelander Alliance" committee split internally. The "Pseudo-Peace Faction" gradually became dominant, and they were servile to the invaders and signed a humiliating armistice agreement.

At that time, two years had passed since the "total defeat", and Lang Hua and the others had been living in the Nata Mountain scientific research base.

One midnight, Xiao Heizi found Lang Hua again and asked him:

"Battal Commander, do you think we can win?"

At that time, Xiao Heizi's words already had a vibrato and a bit of uncertainty.

Lang Hua was actually at a loss for the future, but in order to appease this close subordinate, he resisted hesitation and answered:

"...Yes, we haven't lost everything yet."

Thinking about it now, there was probably some hesitation in Lang Hua's voice at that time.

It's just that Lang Hua himself hasn't noticed himself yet.

A year later, the final battle broke out, and the human side was completely defeated. The war quickly reached the middle and late stages. Xiao Heizi asked again:

"Battal Commander, do you think we can win in the end?"

This time Lang Hua was unusually silent.

He stood numbly in the corridor of Natashan Logistics Hospital, looking at Xiao Heizi lying on the stretcher...

The eyeball of his right eye was scratched by the bullet skin, and Xiao Heizi allowed the medical soldiers to dig out some debris.

The anesthetic has long been exhausted, and the skinny black boy doesn’t seem to know

Painful, the only intact left eye stared at Lang Hua's erratic gaze.

There was no longer much emotion in the questioning voice at that time.

Rather than asking him a question, it would be better to say that he was babbling.

Maybe he didn't want to get the answer from Lang Hua at all...

That meeting only lasted a fleeting moment. After that, the war on the front became intense. Lang Hua, as the base's top city defense officer, could no longer waste time behind the battle lines, even to visit his most beloved and loyal subordinates...

Then, it was Lang Hua's last and most serious serious injury.

During the ten days when he was in coma, it was his adjutant Xiao Heizi who went into battle despite being injured and supported the overall defense.

Just like Lang Hua once taught him, although there were heavy casualties on the position during the ten days and the situation was dangerous, in the end, they never retreated even a hair.

When Lang Hua woke up again, what he heard was the news that the fifth wave of enemy attacks had been repelled.

But at that time, he could only imagine in his mind the look on Xiao Heizi's face as he was shot through the chest...

Until Xiao Heizi died in front of the battle, Lang Hua never saw him again.

According to the wounded soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, the bullet created a huge cavity when it penetrated, and Adjutant Duan Hei's heart was blown out immediately...

As for Xiao Heizi's broken body, it had been vaporized and annihilated in the intensive bombing before the enemy's retreat, along with many soldiers who were unable to dodge.

The bruised eyeballs, the dirty stretcher, the dark and thin young man, the questions without any emotion...

The day we last met, that scene seemed to be happening before my eyes.

"Battal Commander, do you think we can win in the end?"

Can we win in the end?

Can you win?

battalion commander?

Lang Hua hated his silence and hesitation at that time...

He was unable to answer the question at the time and will never be able to answer the question again...

Lang Hua failed to give Xiao Heizi an answer. He owed Xiao Heizi an answer.
