Chapter 835: Sacrificing Even Yourself
P5092 gave a laugh when he heard what Ren Xiaosu said, “You really don’t take yourself as an outsider!”
But after all was said and done, he really did hand the first newspaper to Ren Xiaosu.
As a result, a strange scene appeared in Fire Seed’s temporary quarters, as one of the highest ranked officers in the main force, P5092 was sitting in the backseat of the SUV leisurely looking at the newspaper.
And Ren Xiaosu, as a refugee being escorted and drafted, was sitting sideways in the driver’s seat, also crossing his legs and reading the newspaper.
In everyone’s eyes, the difference in status between these two people was extremely vast, but these two people didn’t seem to care too much, getting along very well.
Moreover, P5092 would take the initiative to pass a newspaper to Ren Xiaosu after reading it, and Ren Xiaosu received it in her hands as a matter of course.
Those refugees who were still waiting in line for their meals looked confused, what is this kid in the end ah relationship so hard? What the hell is this kid doing here?
Not to mention the refugees look confused, even the soldiers of the fire kindling are a little confused …….
Ren Xiaosu looked at the newspaper, today’s things basically nothing new, it is about the kindling main force is rushing to the northern battlefield, the northern ethnic groups and the Wang Clan in the line of the Baiwen Mountain contact, both sides did not take advantage of what, both are only in the stage of testing.
Then there were some bits and pieces of information, such as the supplies from QingHo University had been prepared and the first batch would leave this afternoon, accompanied by not only the Luocheng Garrison that was escorting the goods, but also some students who would be traveling to the frontline to act as volunteers.
The Luocheng garrison going north is necessary to deal with the fire, after all, the entry of troops from other forces always makes people a bit uneasy.
For example, on Wang’s side, he had already refused Zhou’s material assistance, and everyone felt that Wang’s refusal was purely because he didn’t want to give Zhou a reason to gather troops.
However, what was surprising was that Fire Seed had agreed to the application from Luo Cheng’s side without hesitation, directly choosing to allow them to personally escort the supplies northward, and also agreeing to the Luo Cheng Garrison to participate together in this war against the foreign invaders.
Knowing that participating in a war together was a very sensitive matter, this was tantamount to Fireseed showing the layout of their northern defense line in front of Qinghe.
In the past, the relationship between Qinghe and Fireseed was good, but everyone was a bit puzzled, the relationship between these two families wasn’t good to this extent, and they hadn’t seen Fireseed supporting them when Luo City was in danger before.
Ren Xiaosu asked after reading the newspaper, “Do you Fire Seed have any judgment on this war? Can it be won?”
“It’s not a matter of whether it can be won or not, but it must be won,” P5092 said.
“Will many people die?” Ren Xiaosu asked, “You allowed the L.A. Garrison to participate in the war, so I suppose you feel that your own forces may not be enough either.”
“Can’t say for sure,” P5092 shook his head, “What they have arrived now is just the vanguard, it’s hard to tell how many more followers …… Why am I talking to you about this!”
P5092 no longer discuss the military situation with Ren Xiaosu, he is a P5 level guilty of discussing this with Ren Xiaosu, he did not have the good sense to say: “The newspaper read it yet, read it and go back to your car.”
“I still have a question,” Ren Xiaosu ignored what P5 said and instead began to ask questions again, “I see that you have brought several hundred refugees from Barrier 31, what kind of people are they and what are you doing with them?”
“Half of them are maintenance workers,” P5092 said, “When a war is fought, the mechanized forces have to do a solid job of repairing and maintaining their vehicles, and a broken vehicle isn’t worth a penny. The rest are either Kong’s former executives, caught back for easy interrogation, or some researchers.”
Ren Xiaosu said in his heart that no wonder he saw a few trucks before that were carrying information, together the fire was taking some of Kong’s research results in one pot.
“But the maintenance workers are going to be on the front lines, right?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Right,” P5 nodded.
“Then they may not be willing to, going to the front line is a death sentence,” Ren Xiaosu bristled.
“They have to be willing even if they’re not,” P5 spoke about this with an extremely firm attitude, “For the sake of this war, we can even sacrifice ourselves at any time, why can’t they?”
Ren Xiaosu nodded, this is what the Fire Seed should look like, completely not taking others as people, but Ren Xiaosu realized that these people of the Fire Seed are also quite ruthless, because they are not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to themselves.
When the 74th barrier encountered the experimental body, those kind of fire combat personnel, but really dare to hold the TNT and experimental body with the death.
I think in the eyes of the fire species, this northern community and experimental body, are “alien”. And they themselves, is responsible for guarding the role of human beings in the Central Plains, although the Central Plains people do not recognize this statement ……
P5092 glanced at Ren Xiaosu, “Do you think I’m being a bit unfair to them by doing this?”
Ren Xiaosu didn’t say anything.
P5092 continued, “There is no such thing as fair or unfair in this world, have you ever considered that if our Fire Seeds are routed in the north, then they will die just the same. When that group of beasts from the north come south, who will protect them? By the unbearable paper tiger Kong? Or by Wang?”
Ren Xiaosu thought that P5 said this is not a problem, really if the fire in the north was extinguished, then the south of these people even if they are not conscripted is also dead, it is just the difference between early and late death.
P5 continued: “We are for the survival of the human race in the Central Plains, perhaps you will think, the Central Plains so many people, do not have to worry about dying out ah. But I do think that they are fragile and vulnerable, and nowadays they can’t withstand even the slightest storm. Do you know how many people lived in a medium-sized city before the disaster? Ten million! Now, a walled city is only a few hundred thousand people… How powerful was the human civilization before the Calamity, but how many people are left now?”
These words froze Ren Xiaosu in his tracks, he used to think that the pre-calamity cities and the current barriers weren’t that far apart, but when 10 million people and hundreds of thousands of people were put together in comparison, he realized what that calamity really meant to mankind.
P5092 lamented, “You never know who will come first, the disaster or tomorrow. I know other people don’t understand, but we don’t need them to. When disaster strikes again, the new humans with strong physical qualities will surely survive to the end. Not everyone is as lucky as the Transcendents, but the Fire Seed is partial to bringing that luck to everyone, it’s just that the technology isn’t perfect yet.”
“line line line, you don’t need to say so much to me,” Ren Xiaosu cried and laughed: “I didn’t say you did anything wrong, in fact, I am in favor of the Fire Seed this time, everyone has the responsibility to defend against the foreign enemy, should not let the Fire Seed to pay alone, I am not contributing to a part of their own strength, don’t worry, at that time, your Don’t worry, when the time comes, your comrade will be handed over to me for medical treatment, as long as he is traumatized, as long as he still has breath, I won’t let him die.”
Said Ren Xiaosu walked towards their truck, and waved his hand as he left, “See you tomorrow.”
P5 froze for a long time, why were the two of them suddenly acting like friends and seeing each other tomorrow?
On the way back, the refugees saw that Ren Xiaosu had become the most special refugee in the fire troops, and many of the fire soldiers even took the initiative to greet Ren Xiaosu when they saw him, and there were even fire soldiers who gave Ren Xiaosu cigarettes!
The middle-aged man who had a conflict with Ren Xiaosu before suddenly panicked a bit, would this kid hold a grudge? If the other party makes things difficult for him in the army, I’m afraid no one will speak up for him.
