The puppets' stage play

Chapter 220 Hope and Determination

"Hey! My dear grandson, look at my strength!" The old man stood under the sun with rare energy and performed a set of weird boxing techniques.

At that time, Shen Daoyan secretly despised him, and naturally had a look of reverence on his face, which caused the other party to laugh wildly.

When the memory returned to the present, Shen Daoyan's eyes were particularly sharp, and he looked at the other party solemnly.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault, forgive me, I will do anything!" He said nostalgically, with a smile on his face.

Captain Wang's expression became distorted for a moment, but then he looked at the other party in surprise.

"Young man, it seems you are really sick. Go home for treatment." He turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Daoyan hugged the other person instantly, his eyes full of determination, and he murmured in his mouth.

"Those who reminisce are all fireflies. They have experienced thousands of glory, and now they reappear again. Wake up, Grandpa Wang!"

Along with his words, a strong white light came from the horizon and suddenly poured into Captain Wang's body. His expression changed from helpless to confused.

Captain Wang stood firmly on the spot, the expression on his face changing. Then he turned around, looked at Shen Daoyan and let out a long sigh.

"Why do you want me to think about it again? Isn't it good for him to just forget about that past?"

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Ke, and... Xiaohua"

"Did their death be in vain?! Are you really that cruel?!"

Shen Daoyan said several names one by one, and Captain Wang's face moved with each one he said.

Faced with the other party's questioning, he was speechless.

Yu Zehao walked in the front, and the continuous white light continued to streak across his body and then spread to the outside.

His hair was gradually covered with the color of snow, and with each passing moment, his face became older. If he was a man who had just passed his golden age before, he is now a dying old man.

Schneider and Ben, who were accompanying him, were in a much better situation. One of them had a spirit blessed by a 'personality', and the other had a physical body representing a 'golden soul'.

Therefore, the resistance of the two was better than that of Yu Zehao, and the two, who seemed relaxed, looked at the former with worried eyes.

"Brother Yu, you should go back. You insist on not transforming your body. Your body is already reaching its limit. If this continues..."

Schneider was hesitant and speechless, and Ben on the other side interrupted.

"You will die"

His seemingly blunt words actually implied concern for Yu Zehao. Schneider glanced at the other person, still so unable to speak.

"...I won't die until we see that person again!" Yu Zehao said in a low voice, his words showing his firm will.

His pace became slower and slower, his original strong and flying figure was gone, and his straight waist could not help but bend.

As his hair turned gray, he moved forward step by step, staring straight ahead, but at a certain moment, he felt that his extremely slow body became lighter.

He raised his wrinkled face, and two people on his left and right helped him move forward together. On the left was Schneider's face that was pretending to be calm.

Ben had a serious face and looked here intently.

Yu Zehao felt warm in his heart. Schneider always kept face, but Ben spoke without thinking. He didn't expect that the two of them would do this at the critical moment.

He turned his head to look at Schneider, who had a straight face, and said with emotion: "Since the three of us got that grace, you and I have been fighting secretly, trying to monopolize the grace."

"You still look down on me. I didn't expect you to be so worried about me?" There was a hint of ridicule in his words, which made Schneider's face darken.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just worried that if that person comes again and doesn't see you, he will doubt me. Don't be too sentimental."

"Once this matter is over, you and I are still rivals, do you understand?!"

Schneider immediately retorted, speaking plausibly and looking like he was trying to be fair.

"Okay, haha, just to continue fighting with you in the future, I will survive!" Yu Zehao smiled and looked very happy.

Schneider snorted angrily, but his tense expression softened.

Seeing the two of them still arguing about these trivial matters, Ben couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At that time, he was not as valued as the two of them, and only got the worst training center.

He had been dissatisfied many years ago, but he didn't understand the fact that there was no way ahead until he worked hard to his limit.

Only by combining the 'keys' held by the two, can he have the ability to go further, so he is staying neutral now. When the two decide the outcome, he will join which side.

Because this is something that has been decided a long time ago.

Ben's face was expressionless. Now he didn't care about anything and just wanted to continue moving along this road.

The three of them had their own concerns and supported each other to move forward.

The people from the outside world looked at this scene with wandering eyes. Although there was desire on their faces, they hesitated to move forward.

Kang Tainian's heart gradually sank. Looking at the hesitating people below, he felt colder than ever before.

Everyone is paying for the future, but they are worried about their lives.

Kang Tainian also knew that he was wrong to think this way, but he still couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

These people should be left to die. Every second they live in this world is a blasphemy to those victims!

His expression gradually turned cold, he looked straight at these timid people, and then said calmly.

"You're all a bunch of damn guys!"

"You bastard! I will kill you!"

"Beast! You are indeed a careerist. You should die immediately."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but stare angrily, and the slight shame on their faces turned into anger. They shouted, and their emotions were indescribable.

"Alas! You, the great situation has been wasted. Originally, according to our plan, as long as we continue to confuse people for a while, someone will come forward."

"Our people died in vain. It's all because of your stubbornness and your inability to control yourself!"

Kang Tainian listened to the voices of various doctors accusing him, and then said calmly.

"Your abacus is inherently difficult to realize. In my opinion, instead of letting them be deeply moved and voluntarily die, it is better to control their minds and let them die."

"Technology is easier to understand than people. It has no exceptions, only plain and simple data, and that is what we should rely on most."

The voice in his ears fell silent, and after a while, many words of agreement came to him.

"Yes, I have wanted to do this for a long time. The original efficiency was too low and it was easy to waste time."

"The data doesn't lie. Since the previous plan failed, let's implement this plan immediately."

"...Come here and start preparing large quantities of brainwashing tools."

The doctors discussed for a long time, decided on the next steps, and then started to implement them.

“That’s not okay”

An overlapping voice sounded in the hearts of everyone, like a ruthless judge.

Kang Tainian's eyes were startled, and he looked around to no avail. Finally, he looked eagerly to the sky, where a figure was floating in the air and looking down at everyone.

"Ager..." Kang Tainian sighed with tears in his eyes.

"No, it's No. 1," the young man looked at Kang Tainian and said calmly.

"That approach is wrong. Manipulating the mind will only cause their minds to collapse and lose their ability to resist external crises."

He continued to speak in a calm tone, and Kang Tainian's ears became silent, and his heart could not help but beat a little.

Why would the other party know?

"I protect your souls. Naturally, you are defenseless against me. Only the more wise people there are, the stronger I will be."

There were noisy sounds below, and people looked above with curious and frightened eyes, pointing from time to time.

Kang Tainian took a deep breath, suppressed those messy thoughts in his heart, and then asked.

"Okay, No. 1, what do you think we should do? We are at our wits' end."

His expression was extremely stern and his eyes were extremely gray.

"I know, that's why I'm here, thanks to those people who bought me some time."

There was a mysterious smile on the young man's face.

"Let me make up for your mistakes now. Hope will never be far away."

The boy declared, his body emitting infinite white light, and then swept everything around him.

"You also have your own ideas. You have indeed grown up."

Captain Wang raised his hand with emotion and was about to touch the other party's head. Suddenly, he patted Shen Daoyan on the shoulder, with a sigh on his face.

"It's true that you are getting younger and younger as you live." Shen Daoyan looked at the other party and was surprised by Uncle Wang's image.

"Oh, I'm not as good as you young people. My body looks similar to that of a normal and healthy middle-aged man, but in fact it's like a leaky boat and I can't run very far."

Captain Wang had a self-deprecating look on his face as he complained about his body.

Shen Daoyan looked at the other party sideways, always feeling that the other party was not telling the truth. He actually felt that the other party might be able to hit him a few times.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You have something to do with me, right?" Captain Wang is an old man. When he saw the other party, it seemed that he wanted something of his own, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to bring up the past.

"Well, I can't hide it from you..." Shen Daoyan smiled awkwardly, and then stated his request.

Captain Wang's face looked relaxed at first, but the more he listened, the more his brows furrowed. He looked at the other person carefully, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"This...is a bit overstepping your authority, Xiao Shen, don't let others use you as a target!" He tried to persuade the other party not to do something wrong. He could do this, but it would affect many people.

As for his future, he doesn't pay much attention to it. He's already half dead, so why do he care about it?

"Grandpa Wang, I know there was a reason for what happened that day, but I don't want to see them die in vain. Those who made the decision must get the revenge they deserve!"

Shen Daoyan stared at the other party solemnly, his expression very determined.

"..." Captain Wang was silent for a long time. He looked up at the blue sky over there and thought of a lot.

There are scenes of him and his comrades resisting those monsters, the joy of surviving the disaster and the sadness of the death of his comrades.

There is himself crying after the death of the man he regarded as his biological father.

There was a scene where the captain he admired confessed his fear and quit, which made him feel complicated.

There is the unwillingness to stay in one place for ten years and not be able to reveal even a single bit of information about yourself.

Over the years, he has questioned and pondered, and has never betrayed him from beginning to end. He knew that those people would die in large numbers, but he looked away.

Because he knows that these people are just cowards and hesitant people in the eyes of the higher-ups. His words are irrelevant and cannot dominate their decisions.

So he let them die, leaving only some people with less serious crimes, but he looked through a file not long ago and it was recorded on it.

All the criminals in the development zone were to be executed, followed by a comment.

The coward will eventually die, no one is exempt.

At that time, he just glanced at it and was not touched at all, but now that he thought about it, that was probably why he was keen on fighting those monsters after returning.

Old man Zhang likes to smoke and has the habit of being greedy for petty gains.

Li Laoshi has a simple and honest face, and is diligent in his work, but he is a little bit resigned to death.

Aunt Liu loves beauty and often makes things difficult for young men, but she is most fond of having sex and never goes too far.

Huahua is just strong, but has a kind heart and will help everyone.

And... Lusong, he is just a child who likes to be alone.

Captain Wang looked at the sad-looking Shen Daoyan, showed his big white teeth, and smiled happily.

"Oh, you have begged grandpa like this, so I will naturally help you."

I'm sorry, everyone, just let the old man do whatever he wants. Captain Wang's heart is full of determination.
