unforgiving

There are still a lot of peripheral personnel supporting the sneak attack mission, and they are jointly selected from the federal and imperial armies. They will use their own sacrifices to achieve the purpose of cover and try to send the four princes to the nearest place to pick up the Zerg lair.Everyone is well aware that this mission may have no return, but for the future of mankind, they have no hesitation.

Those who knew Gu Yuangui's special nature didn't want Gu Yuangui to go deep into the Zerg's hinterland to carry out some kind of sneak attack mission, but only Gu Yuangui could find the Zerg's lair, so he had to go.

Therefore, the empress secretly gave Qi Shu a death order to "save the Duke no matter what".

Gu Yuangui is the last member of the Gu family with special genes and the ability to give birth. He must survive!For this reason, the Royal Academy of Sciences took out all the technologies that were still secret at the bottom of their press box, the easy-to-carry space button, and the special rescue capsule that is said to be able to prevent black hole-level explosions in the universe. Currently, the space button can only store a rescue capsule. size, and there is only enough space for one person to lie down in the rescue cabin.

That person is Gu Yuangui.

"I know that with Xiaoyuan's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to enjoy this opportunity alone. So you can only make this decision for him. It doesn't matter whether you are Zhao Tiantian or Qi Shu, I only know you It's really good for Xiaoyuan, right?"

Qi Shu looked at the space button in front of him, a very inconspicuous ring, but it set off a huge turmoil in his heart.

If he and Gu Yuangui were the only one left alive, he would have given this opportunity to Gu Yuangui without blinking an eye, but this time he and Gu Yuangui were not the only ones to carry out the mission.From the perspective of status, the crown prince of the empire and the general of the Federation are more important than Gu Yuangui, the titular duke; but from the perspective of Gu Yuangui's personal emotions, how could he selfishly abandon his own uncle and cousin? Brother, choose to live alone in a mission where everyone will sacrifice?

But... let Qi Shu give up this opportunity to keep Gu Yuangui alive, he is really reluctant.He loves Gu Yuangui, although he has never said it, but deep in his heart he feels that he has loved Gu Yuangui for several lifetimes, he wants him to live, even if his future is without him, he still misses him Can live well.

After several struggles, Qi Shu finally made his decision in his heart.He took the space button away, and then asked the empress a question: "The rescue cabin was given to His Excellency the Duke, so what should His Royal Highness do?"

The empress fell silent at the same time.As early as when they chose to put this space button in front of Qi Shu's eyes, they had already silently given the answer.

In fact, before this, the emperor and empress strongly opposed the prince's participation in this sneak attack.But the general is outside, and the military order is not accepted. The prince is now on the front line. Even the emperor who sits on the empire can't make him change his mind. He said: "My son is the only double-s gene in the empire, and he knows the Zerg very well. The combat general is the person who knows Xiao Yuan best to cooperate with him among all the generals. I really can't think of a better candidate than me. My son hopes to die well and become your pride. And, if possible, I will definitely think Do your best to come back alive.”

This is the crown prince's sincere wish. As parents, the empress cannot and will not stop it.

Gu Yuangui also thinks that the crown prince should be able to return to the empire alive. Don’t you see how the final climax of many novels is like this. It is obviously a battle with no chance of survival. A lone army breaks into the protagonist’s team that should have died, but it always miraculously makes the protagonist die. and his lover survived.

As for the supporting role of the duke...

After the system received a large amount of energy upgrades, a special function was activated that allowed Gu Yuangui to talk to the original owner of the body for 10 minutes in exchange for completed tasks.

That was the first time that Gu Yuangui really saw himself in the parallel world.

There is no need to explain, Duke Shou has seen everything that Gu Yuangui has done through Gu Yuangui, and also knows what Gu Yuangui wants to ask himself. The boy who always smiles like a big boy who doesn't know the difficulties of the world has only one firm opinion about it. Answer: "As an imperial soldier, it is my honor to be shrouded in horse leather. Don't lose my face."

In fact, it can be seen from the memories of many Dukes that although he is not smart enough, afraid of pain and love to act like a baby, but at critical moments he always has a spirit of sacrifice that is not afraid of death.

The second time Gu Yuangui saw Duke Shou was when the Zerg Queen blew herself up.

The crown prince, Li Yan, Tang Ni, and Gu Yuangui have all been entrusted with their duties, and their battle clothes were stained red with blood, but none of them retired from the army. A man born in troubled times should carry a three-foot sword to make an indelible contribution.They were already prepared for a heroic sacrifice. At the last moment before his death, Qi Shu finally yelled out that sentence "I love you" after several worlds.

Gu Yuangui and Qi Shu were far away, and he didn't know if he heard it clearly.

He thought, it seems as if none of us has the protagonist's life, if we say we can't go back, we really can't go back.Ah, no, Uncle Downey should be able to go back. Qi Shu chose to tell Gu Yuangui about the rescue capsule given by the empress, and let him make the decision. In the end, under the joint will of Gu Yuangui and the Duke, He gave up the chance of life to Downey, and then thought about going to hell with Qi Shu who has been standing behind him forever.

"This is the normal direction." The Duke said in Gu Yuangui's mind at the end, "Compared to being faked by Chris, my death this time is much more dignified, and finally I don't have to live like a fool." .Thank you for letting me experience the feeling of being a hero. In this life, it is worth it.”

The protagonist's law of immortality actually still works.

After the prince, the duke, the general of the Federation, and the entire sneak attack team sacrificed their lives for the country in exchange for the Zerg queen's life, Li Yan lay in the rescue capsule prepared by the empress for Gu Yuangui and survived leisurely.

Numerous media cameras focused on the hard-earned rescue capsule. After opening it, they could finally see the person lying inside. Everyone was stunned. Who is this?

The empress had her heart full after eating Li Yan. In order to save Gu Yuangui, she reluctantly bid farewell to her son, but in the end she saved such a person?

"Why you? You despicable villain! You actually robbed, robbed..."

"He snatched the life-saving cabin of General Downey of the Federation." The life-saving cabin was prepared for Gu Yuangui. There was no way to explain it clearly, but in order to take care of the feelings of the Federation, the emperor wisely chose to throw out Downey's name.Since the empire and the federation are fighting together, and the empire is taking the lead, they will naturally save as much as possible to help their senior federal generals.What the empire lost was the only heir and an important duke.

Facing the overwhelming infamy, Li Yan also looked at a loss. He was clearly ready to sacrifice with his lover, why did he survive?

Because of Leo, of course.

For Li Yan's good, Leo can do anything.Before the sneak attack mission started, he stole Qi Shu's space button, knocked out Li Yan, put it in it, and then took Li Yan's place in that never-ending sneak attack mission.Wanting to pretend for Li Yan that he is a war hero is just an illusion that he survived by luck.

But Leo didn't know that there was a time record for the opening and closing of the rescue capsule, and Li Yan lay down in it before the sneak attack mission started...

Coupled with the dark history of previous command mistakes, what awaits Li Yan will only be the military court and all the anger of the Federation and the Empire.

Deceiving the world and stealing fame, greedy for life and afraid of death!

Countless midnight dreams, Li Yan would dream of the cold eyes of his lover when he was buried in the universe. He didn't say anything, but it seemed that he was whipping and torturing his heart.You have betrayed our promise!You coward!

Leo in his imagination said over and over again: "I am doing it for your own good. Although it is painful, at least you survived."

"I don't need you to be nice to me—" he yelled at the white wall over and over like a lunatic.Throughout his life, he could never get out of this nightmare.He finally understood how ridiculous his self-righteousness towards Gu Yuangui was back then, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

……

【a】

Gu Yuangui stared at the score in disbelief for a full minute. He had gotten many A's in his life, and this was the first time he was so excited about getting an A's, because usually he spends his time striving for perfection. And energy to reflect on why it is not an a, but in the face of the perverted system scoring, a is simply incredible.

[To eliminate the Zerg Queen, the host is equivalent to saving a universe and providing a lot of energy for the system. If there are no major mistakes in the mission itself, it should have been rated by sss. ] The system did not pour a basin of cold water, but poured the entire Antarctic on Gu Yuangui's head.

What kind of major flaw can bring sss down to a?

Without being reminded by the system, Gu Yuangui remembered that he had sacrificed the Duke.Although it was the Duke's own wish to die in battle, he was dead after all.Not to mention that the crown prince, Uncle Downey, and Qi Shu, the Qi Shu of that world, died with him.

I don't know why, when recalling this period, Gu Yuangui's heart felt as if someone had pinched his heart so hard that the tip of his tongue was numb from the pain.

It was already dim outside, and it was only the fourth day since Gu Yuangui broke up with his ex.

【Do you want to start the next task? 】

"No, take a break for a while." Gu Yuangui needed time to sort out what he experienced in the last world, and he wanted to write it into a story.This time, it is no longer to seek advice from netizens, but just to share with others and let the world know that in this universe, there used to be a federal soldier named Qi Shu. Obscurity.Even if it is only living in the story that others think, he wants everyone to see it.

But when Gu Yuangui really opened the document to start writing, he could only stare at the flickering cursor in a daze, unable to type out a single word.He couldn't describe that feeling, obviously he still remembered Qi Shu's dedication, but he couldn't empathize with him no matter what.

The feeling of being separated from the system is really thorough.This made Gu Yuangui feel unspeakably depressed.

And at this moment, the crisp doorbell—in the quiet morning—resounded particularly loudly throughout Gu Yuangui's new home.Who will come so early?With such doubts, Gu Yuangui saw Qi Shu who was panting outside the door through the cat's eyes.

"!!!"

Opening the door, before Gu Yuangui could ask "Why are you here" or "This is your house, what door are you knocking on, didn't you bring the key?", Qi Shu hugged him into his arms.

Warm breath rushed towards his face, Gu Yuangui lay in front of Qi Shu's strong chest, and could clearly hear the intense heartbeat coming from there.His body was so hot, but his hands were icy cold, his body couldn't stop shaking, his movements of hugging Gu Yuangui carefully were like holding some rare treasure.

The two stood in the porch and hugged for a long time, breathing in the familiar breath of each other, and slowly synchronized and merged into one, as if only each other was left in the world.

After several minutes, Gu Yuangui said, "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Shu let go of Gu Yuangui and went back rationally, so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word.But his rationality told him that he must explain clearly, otherwise he would look like a psychopath in front of Gu Yuangui.

After sorting out his thoughts and organizing his words, Qi Shu said: "I had a dream, I dreamed that you and I were both dead. I promised you to save a person who is very important to you, but at the critical moment, my space button But I can’t get anything out. I’m sorry, I let you down, and I failed to fulfill your wish.”

The despair at that moment was so real that after Qi Shu woke up from the dream, he didn't even have time to think about the several extra memories in his mind. Is it okay.

... Well, with this explanation, he is more like a psychopath.

Gu Yuangui looked at Qi Shu with wide-eyed eyes, taking a panoramic view of Qi Shu's small movements when he was nervous.Obviously he and this student should be strangers who have been separated for many years, but at this moment it feels like they understand each other better than the lovers who have been together for a long time.His fear, nervousness, and bewilderment don't need to be explained, he already understands it.

Even though I think it's strange intellectually, I'm still urging myself emotionally to appease the tall man in front of me, hug him, kiss him, and let him know that everything is fine.

In the end, Gu Yuangui suppressed this urge, and just gave Qi Shu a comforting smile.

And for Qi Shu, who has been paying attention to Gu Yuangui without blinking his eyes, this is enough. When he smiles, it's like the whole world lights up.

He heard him say, "Coincidentally, I had the same dream. But it's just a dream, don't worry."

A ray of sunlight slowly enters the idyllic living room, and the white bellflower that Qi Shu gave to Gu Yuangui before graduation flutters in the wind on the balcony. It will not mutate, and there is no seed hidden in the body of the Zerg elite.It's just it, a small flower, blooming with its own simplicity and elegance.
