Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 131 - 106: Selection of the Warship Captain

Shen Zeyuan pressed his lips tightly together. If he had to abandon those friends with whom he had promised to enlist and fight together, abandon his dignity, abandon the countless humans globally trapped in the doomsday after defeat, and escape with his head down and tail between his legs, he would surely suffer for a lifetime, always living in that guilt.

In that case, it would be better to sacrifice on the battlefield!

But he didn’t dare say these words out loud.

He knew how much his older brother valued family.

However, even if he didn’t speak, Shen Shi still saw his thoughts through his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Shen Shi looked at Huo Wenqian, who was sitting there, and asked, "Do you support him too?"

This sentence was like putting Huo Wenqian on a hot grill, and she visibly became uneasy.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "I, of course, I’m worried, but I also know that if I don’t let him go, he might regret it for a lifetime, so... I support him!"

"Wenqian..." Ze Yuan tightly grasped his girlfriend’s hand.

His face full of emotion.

He knew his girlfriend understood him, but to say it in front of his brother also took courage.

"Mom also supports you, right? Because she knows she can’t change you." Shen Shi suddenly sighed, "The question I just asked you, I’ve actually always wanted to ask our father, when he jumped into the water to save people, did he ever think about what we would do if something went wrong, what mom would do... But now it seems, there’s no need to ask anymore."

This question could never yield the answer one wanted to hear.

Because it’s not about the matter, but the person.

Given dad’s character, the most likely answer would be "I didn’t think that much at all," or "I was a soldier, I can swim, how can I not save someone in need."

And Shen Shi knew.

What Ze Yuan said was right, in the face of danger, someone must step forward to face it. Those who are making tremendous efforts to become part of the Interstellar Forces, who strive to step onto the battlefield, are such people.

They are undoubtedly heroes, and anyone sheltered by their sacrifice and struggle has no right to question their choices.

And his own opposition was merely out of his selfishness.

"You are already an adult..." Shen Shi finally looked at his brother, "You have your own pursuits, your own worldview, and you have someone you like... So, I can’t stop your decision, but I hope you remember that your family will always worry about you."

"I know! Thank you, brother!" Shen Zeyuan showed a surprised expression.

He was actually prepared to face his brother’s opposition and then work hard to gain approval.

"You guys sit down first, I’ll make a call to ask how long before the food is delivered." Shen Shi didn’t say more, just stood up and left the living room alone.

But he didn’t make a call and instead stood silently in the yard by himself.

Soon after, a warm body hugged him from behind.

Ai Xin’Er also didn’t speak, just held him like that.

Until Shen Shi spoke in a low voice, as if talking to himself:

"I can actually stop him, just one phone call and he wouldn’t pass the upcoming assessments, or could only stay in safe places forever."

"I know." Ai Xin’Er said from behind, her voice very light.

"I just hope everyone I care about can be well."

"I know."

"But I understand, he’s right, this world needs heroes."

"Neither of you is wrong." Ai Xin’Er hugged tighter, "You are all heroes."

"...If I fail, I would run away without hesitation." Shen Shi thought of the altered history and laughed self-mockingly, "What kind of hero would that be."

"But if you succeed, you’d be a hero who saved the entire world." Ai Xin’Er tiptoed, pressing her face against Shen Shi’s neck to make him feel her breath, "Even if you fail, you will still be my hero, because you’ll definitely save me, won’t you?"

"..."

Maybe every couple in love has moments like this, but at that moment, Shen Shi genuinely felt that Ai Xin’Er was like a fairy.

Always appearing when he needed her.

Shen Shi turned around and held Ai Xin’Er face to face in his arms.

"This morning, I saw the social intelligence analysis report sent to me by the intelligence department. It stated, ’The will to fight is growing stronger and the people’s support can be relied on.’" He said softly, "I was very happy because the more you understand the Interstellar War, the more you understand its cruelty. Every Interstellar Warrior not only faces the enemy but also various dangers in the cosmos, and even the torment within themselves. Only the most heroic warriors with the most courageous fighting spirit can bear this responsibility... But now I suddenly realize, maybe I didn’t really understand what those eight words meant."

"Maybe that was the case before." Ai Xin’Er looked up, letting Shen Shi clearly see the admiration in her eyes, "But once you realize this, you already understand... You have always been this way."

"Yes, I understand." Shen Shi was a bit dazed. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Those eight words mean countless people charging ahead, and also mean the birth of countless heroes.
