Chapter 492 Hero
4 month 17 day.

Lin Xian felt dazed when he heard this extremely coincidental date.

Fate once again put him at a crossroads.

If you want to avoid virus infection and go to the future.

He even...

I couldn’t even look at my daughter’s face or hug her little body…

He pursed his lips and asked softly:
"Can the due date be calculated so accurately?"

“Of course it won’t be absolutely accurate.”

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"It could be two days earlier or later, but the doctor said the probability of it being late is low. Xiao Yuxi's actual number of weeks is a bit higher."

"The specific date of birth still depends on the child and the smoothness of the delivery, but the doctor suggested that we go to the hospital on the 15th to wait for the birth. A single room has been reserved for us."

Lin Xian nodded without saying anything.

He had been looking forward to his daughter's arrival for so long, but now... he was torn between all kinds of responsibilities and burdens, feeling complicated and unable to be happy.

"what happened?"

Zhao Yingjun blinked and looked at Lin Xian:

"Did...something happen?"

She felt that something was wrong with Lin Xian from the beginning, and thought that he was just tired from working day and night, but now it seems... things are not that simple.

She is Lin Xian's wife, the person closest to Lin Xian in the world, and the person who knows Lin Xian best and lives with him day and night.

and so.

Lin Xian’s thoughts could not be hidden from her.

She could tell right away...

Lin Xian encountered a very difficult situation; this matter made it difficult for him to make a decision.

"Sure enough, that novelist has finally remembered some key clues, right?"

Lin Xian nodded:
"I didn't intend to hide it from you. This is something you should know."

He raised his head:

"Do you remember the plot of the novel I told you about before, "The Sky Devouring Demon Emperor"? Just as I guessed before, it is indeed not written randomly, but has a real prototype, and it is a real event..."

Afterwards, Lin Xian told Maimai everything he had said.

The hibernation-inhibiting virus created by Gauss, the global outbreak on April 4, the 17-year-long era of banning hibernation, and... the [Human Extinction World Line] locked by Einstein and created by several geniuses.

Zhao Yingjun listened silently.

Halfway through listening, he clenched his fists and his face looked serious.

at last……

Lin Xian finished speaking.

There was a long silence between the two.

The only sound that could be heard was VV's snoring in the bedroom, which was uneven and had occasional pauses.

Zhao Yingjun is a smart man, so he naturally understands...what Lin Xian meant by what he said.

She bit her lower lip.

He hesitated several times to speak.

I do not know what to say.

She could understand Lin Xian’s pain and his decision.

nowadays.

There are only 6 days left before the Gauss virus outbreak, and it is too late to do anything.

No matter what method is used, as long as you choose to stay, you will inevitably be infected with the virus and lose the ability to travel to the future... and you will have no chance of traveling through time and space, 1952, saving the Millennium Pile, and the end of the world.

But if he chooses to enter the hibernation chamber early and preserve the possibility of the future, it means that he must leave his family, friends, this era... and then go to the future alone, without even the chance to see Yu Xi.

After April 4, the inside and outside of the hibernation cabin were actually separated by yin and yang.

200 years later, the person inside woke up and found that all the friends he knew had died.

The times are strange,

The world is strange,

No one to rely on, no relatives or friends.

This is tantamount to a kind of "time and space execution", just like... Zhao Yingjun who turned into a white jade statue in the third dream.

"you……"

Finally, Zhao Yingjun spoke:

"what are you thinking?"

"I do not know."

Lin Xian spoke frankly.

He lowered his head, rested his elbows on his knees, covered his eyes with his palms, and whispered:
"I've thought of many ways, such as letting Jask or Liu Feng go to the future to use the time-space shuttle instead of me, and then use the time-space particles to go to 1952 to complete the mission for me, rescue Chu Anqing, and save the future of mankind."

"But... this idea is too irresponsible. It was me who made the promise to Chu Shanhe. Moreover, they don't have the ability to dream about the future world 600 years later. They are very passive in information feedback and intelligence gathering."

"I can't bet on this possibility on other people, because if anything goes wrong, the cost will be too high and irreparable."

"I also thought of a possibility. I can let Liu Feng hibernate until 2482, then find Cheng Qian, revive VV, and find a way to create a biological USB flash drive, and use space-time particles to send the antivirus software back to the present year 2025. This will allow me to revive VV in this era, and try to save the future world and eliminate the world-destroying white light in my limited life, in this era..."

"No, Lin Xian."

Zhao Yingjun shook his head and directly denied this conjecture:
"How can you be sure that Liu Feng will be able to find Cheng Qian, create anti-virus software, create a biotechnology USB flash drive, and successfully travel back to 2025?"

"Everything in your plan is based on the assumption that everything goes smoothly. Now the world line has changed, so all the answers Einstein gave before are no longer valid... Who can guarantee that your entangled space-time particle can be safely preserved until 2482 years later and left for Liu Feng to use?"

"Right now, people still don't realize the importance of entangled space-time particles. Many people don't even know that this thing exists, so naturally not many people care about it. But... in 2234, after the invention of the space-time shuttle, more and more people will definitely understand space-time particles and come to snatch entangled space-time particles."

"So, how dare you bet on something so unrealistic? This game and this battle are not just playing house. There is no room for any mistakes. The safest way is to consume the time and space particles the moment the time shuttle is created in 2234, leaving no chance for the enemy to return to the past."

"Otherwise...it is very likely that the person you are waiting for is Liu Feng, and the person who actually traveled through time is the next Terminator, the next time-space killer."

“This leads to a problem where you can’t have both.”

Zhao Yingjun said cautiously:
"In 2234, the moment the space-time shuttle was successfully manufactured, which era will Liu Feng travel to using the only entangled space-time particle?"

"He went to 1952, and perhaps he could learn the truth about the Millennium Pile and the secret of Einstein. Then let's think more extreme, Liu Feng insisted on living for another 70 years, met you in 2025, and conveyed the news he learned to you, but... then what?"

"Are you sure you can save Chu Anqing and save humanity from the end of the world in the few decades of your life left after being infected with the virus?"

"This is based on the premise that everything goes well. If there is a mistake in any link, your future plans will be ruined."

Lin Xian sighed.

Nod:
"What you said is exactly what I'm worried about. In fact... you haven't mentioned the main point. The main point is that if these things are to be realized, they must wait until the [Anchor Point of No Return]."

"What does this mean? It means that we will be infected with the virus in this era and then die. Then 200 years later, Liu Feng will wake up, pay homage in front of our graves, and then use the time machine to travel back and see my past self..."

"That's the problem. The Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun Liu Feng saw were not the two of us now, but another us in another time and space. Just like the yellow bird, when she returned to our time, she didn't see her Lin Xian, because... her Lin Xian was already dead."

"Once we choose to hand over time, space and the future to others, it means that we in this world have given up, have irresponsibly laid down, chosen to enjoy our old age and pass on the responsibilities and burdens to ourselves in other time and space."

“The contradiction lies here.”

Lin Xian pursed his lips:

"Yellow Bird did just that, but she had no choice but to abandon her original world and leave hope to us in the next time and space."

"Before she died, she begged me not to leave Yu Xi with an almost pleading look in her eyes."

"Under the current circumstances, accompanying Yu Xi and saving the future are like having your cake and eating it too."

however.

Zhao Yingjun shook his head:

"Lin Xian, think about it carefully..."

"【Yellow Bird, why did you come back?"

Lin Xian raised his head.

Open your eyes and look at Zhao Yingjun.

This sentence.

These were the words Chu Anqing shouted at the hesitant Huang Que when he was capturing space-time particles in space.

"Huang Que abandoned everything and came back to find you, in order to make you not leave Yu Xi?"

Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian looked at each other:

"If it was just to accompany Yu Xi, Huang Que didn't need to travel back... She could have stayed in her world and grown up with Yu Xi." "It's a pity that Yu Xi lost her father, but if Huang Que was with her as a mother, she could still give her warmth and happiness, and she wouldn't be used by Copernicus and trained as a time-space assassin."

"But...how does the Yellow Bird choose?"

Her eyes were clear and soft:

"【Yellow Bird never gave up guiding you to save the world and the future of mankind until the last moment of his life.】"

She held Lin Xian's hand and said softly:

"You have always been too bound by the words 'Don't leave Yuxi' and have ignored Huang Que's most fundamental intention."

"I can even imagine that in Huang Que's era, before her Lin Xian died, her instructions to Huang Que must have been the same... 'Don't leave Yu Xi'."

"But in the end, Huang Que definitely broke his promise."

【Break a promise】

Suddenly.

Lin Xian suddenly recalled what Huang Que said:
"There is one more thing that I have to confess to you now... Actually, the reason I told you that I wanted to come to Copenhagen was also a lie."

"That man will never break his promise. He will definitely do what he says. So, in the matter of going to Copenhagen, and [many things]... I was the one who broke my promise."

Could it be.

At that time, on the shallow seashore of Copenhagen, were the "many things that Huang Que wanted to say but couldn't say, "breaking his promises" really as Zhao Yingjun had just guessed?
Lin Xian held Zhao Yingjun's hand in his palm and looked at her profile:

"So, are we going to keep breaking our promises like this? Will there never be anyone to accompany Yu Xi as she grows up?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled and shook his head:

"Lin Xian, to be honest, I don't want you to leave, and I don't want you to abandon me and Yu Xi and go into the future alone."

"This is a very selfish statement, but as your wife, the mistress of the house, and Yuxi's mother... it is understandable that I am a little selfish towards my family."

"Just now, when you told me these things, the first thing I thought of was to keep you, to keep you, and not let you go to the future."

"Really, this is my first reaction from the bottom of my heart. I don't make any trade-offs or choices. I just... simply want you to stay, to accompany us, to accompany Yu Xi, to accompany her to grow up, and to accompany me to grow old."

There was a pause.

She continued:
"【If you were an ordinary person with no abilities, I would really... let you stay.】"

Zhao Yingjun bit her lower lip, and every word she spoke was light yet heavy:
"But you are not."

"You are an extraordinary person, destined to be extraordinary. You have the ability to change everything and save everything. If you, who have such a unique dream ability, don't stand up at this time... then who should stand up?"

"We have children, doesn't Jask have children too? We have our own lives, doesn't Liu Feng have any life in the future? If you have any thought, even the slightest thought, of letting others take risks and bear responsibilities for you... then you should take on this responsibility yourself."

"Have you ever thought about this, Lin Xian? People always talk about not fearing sacrifice and sacrificing their lives for justice. Many people always say on the Internet, "I will be the first to fight XX, I will donate all my property to fight XX..." But if the moment really comes, do you think these people will stand up?"

“I think they’re going to step up.”

Lin Xian said:

“National hatred and family feuds are still different.”

"Isn't that it?"

Zhao Yingjun chuckled:
“[If others can do it, then so can we.”

"From the time I met you and started dating you, the thing I feared most was becoming a burden and a nuisance to you... So, even after you left MX, I knew you were doing something dangerous, but I didn't bother you. I knew you went to Copenhagen and the United States, but I didn't contact you."

"Similarly, I knew about Yan Qiaoqiao's relationship with us long before you did, but in order not to add burden to you, I chose not to tell you. It was not until you discovered it yourself that I told you the truth."

"If my man is a hero who serves his country and people and saves the world and humanity, but becomes an ordinary person because of my existence, I cannot accept or allow this."

She let out a breath through her nose.

Looking at the warm yellow light in the kitchen:

"Lin Xian, the people we should be most grateful for for being able to live the way we do now are the martyrs who have heroically sacrificed their lives on the front lines and in wars over the past century."

"They are also fathers, husbands, and children... They also have families and friends, but they risked their lives to sacrifice the happiness and peace they protected, not only did they not enjoy it, but their families and children may also die."

"But even so, even when they faced gunfire, no one backed down. They used their flesh and blood to build a Great Wall for us, protecting our happiness and well-being now, decades later, and a hundred years from now... In comparison, we clearly have the ability to save the future of mankind, but we have to face the future of human extinction hundreds of years from now and ignore it?"

"[The future of mankind is also the future of China, our future, Yu Xi's future, and the future of our children and grandchildren.]"

……

Lin Xian listened to every word Zhao Yingjun said.

He understands all these principles.

He has never thought of retreating, giving up, and enjoying life.

But understanding is understanding.

The yellow bird touched its own face before it disappeared...

Yu Xi turned into a blue snow, hugged her neck, and called out "Dad" for the first time in her life...

Zhao Yingjun turned into a white jade statue in the Rhine Sky City and waited for 600 years...

"Lin Xian."

Zhao Yingjun naturally saw through Lin Xian's inner struggle. She stood up and stood solemnly in front of Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, I just want to ask you three questions. I hope you can answer each of them seriously and truthfully."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun who was standing in the dim living room, reflecting the warm yellow light of the kitchen, and nodded.

"first question."

Zhao Yingjun looked down at Lin Xian who was lying on the sofa and said word by word:
"If Yu Xi and I weren't there, would you choose to hibernate and go to the future to save everything at this moment?"

Lin Xian nodded:
"I can."

Zhao Yingjun blinked:
"second question……"

"If you don't go to the future in person and it becomes irreversible, and you are powerless to prevent the extinction of mankind, staring blankly at the destruction of the white light, and not seeing Chu Anqing's smiling face when Chu Shanhe walks out of the hibernation cabin... will you regret it?"

Lin Xian pursed his lips.

finally.

Nodded:

"I can."

Zhao Yingjun let out a sigh:

"The third question."

"If everyone insists on keeping you here, asking you to forget about the future and enjoy your present life... can you live your life peacefully and steadily?"

……

……

There was a long silence.

Lin Xian stood up from the sofa, stood in front of Zhao Yingjun, and shook his head:

"To be honest, I can't do it."

Zhao Yingjun smiled.

He held Lin Xian's face in his hands, bringing warmth to his heart:
"Go."

Her gentle voice passed by Lin Xian's ears:

"I think you already have the answer."

"Also, Lin Xian, you don't need to feel guilty towards Huang Que, and you don't need to disappoint Huang Que's entrustment, because... I will complete it for you."

She smiled:

"Haven't I said this many times before? Your promise is also my promise, your oath is also my oath."

"Yellow Bird said 'Don't leave Yu Xi'... I will help you realize it!"

Lin Xian opened his eyes wide:

"You mean..."

"Yes."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"I promise you that I will never leave Yu Xi in this life. I will always be with our daughter, raise her, watch her go to school, watch her grow up, watch her graduate, watch her find her own life, watch her have her own family..."

"I will spend my whole life with Yu Xi, and your love will surround Yu Xi. I will not repeat the same mistakes, nor will I let you down. I will keep my word and accompany Yu Xi until the last moment of my life, and let Yu Xi bury me with her own hands."

"So, Lin Xian, go ahead and rest assured, just as I told you at the beginning, on the blue Bentley sports car on the viaduct—"

“Do what you really want to do, do what you are willing to risk your life for, do what you are willing to devote your life to, do what you…will regret for the rest of your life if you don’t take this step.”

She looked up.

The warm light in the eyes swept away the haze:
"[I will protect Yu Xi, and you will protect the world!]"
