296: Three obscured wishes

Central Plains, Xia Country — Shelter.

Soldiers were organizing survivors, using military information terminals to enter the transfer channels.

And the wish to modify the military information terminal was precisely what Liu Yan had made with a portion of his lifespan.

Teacher Qi squeezed out of the crowd and walked directly in front of Liu Yan.

He looked at Liu Yan's haggard expression now, not knowing what to say.

As a teacher, facing his own student, Teacher Qi actually felt a bit speechless.

After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Teacher Qi finally said in a deep voice:

"Liu Yan, you are the most outstanding child I have ever taught."

"It's the teacher's insufficient ability, unable to accompany you all to the battlefield, I'm sorry."

"But organizing the survivor transfers, the teacher can still do well."

"The sooner you join the battlefield, the more people will be able to survive."

Liu Yan glanced at Teacher Qi and nodded almost without hesitation.

"Alright."

Immediately after, Liu Yan informed Teacher Qi of all the shelter locations he had learned from Long Wu.

"Teacher, you should look for some more people to help you organize."

"The military information terminal has a limited time for transferring people."

Teacher Qi listened and nodded solemnly.

"Let's go."

After giving his instructions, Liu Yan left the shelter without looking back.

After leaving the shelter, Cai Ning looked at Liu Yan with a worried expression.

At the same time, Soldier No. 66666 behind Liu Yan subtly took out a note from his pocket.

It had three wishes written on it.

If Liu Yan had turned back and seen the contents of the note at this moment.

Then he would have recognized at a glance that these were precisely the three wishes he had seen his past self write on a note after drinking champagne.

However, at that time, all three wishes were obscured.

[Nine. Liu Yan's mother will cross over with Liu Yan, and she knows Liu Yan is Liu Yan.]

[Ten. Liu Yan's mother will die by Liu Yan's hand.]

[Eleven. Someone will wish for the resuscitation ventilator to be unable to revive.]

The last wish has also come true... Soldier No. 66666 thought to himself, then put away the note.

Soon, I will do what I have to do... Boss, I'm sorry... Soldier No. 66666 looked at Liu Yan's back with an apologetic expression.

"buddy, are you alright?" Cai Ning finally couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that Liu Yan didn't answer, Cai Ning sighed and continued:

"The military information terminal can only transfer people for a total of one hour."

"With so many people, your teacher can't possibly organize them all."

"Even if he finds some people to help him organize."

"If they encounter unreasonable people or people cutting in line, it's impossible to transfer everyone to Little Eagle Country in an hour."

"It's even possible..."

Cai Ning hadn't finished speaking when Liu Yan had already turned his head and looked at him with a tired expression.

In Liu Yan's eyes, Cai Ning saw a familiar sense of fatigue.

The former Liu Yan and the current Liu Yan, although vaguely similar in some ways.

Their actions and choices were almost completely different.

But completely different choices led to almost the same result.

"If what you said happens."

"Then it's their fate."

Liu Yan's lips moved slightly.

After speaking, Liu Yan walked to an open space, sat down, and looked at the sky expressionlessly.

Seeing Liu Yan like this, the other Soldiers also sat down where they were.

Only Cai Ning remained standing.

Suddenly, Liu Yan, who was sitting on the ground, spoke softly:

"Cai Ning, do you know why I entered the Third District after coming to this world?"

Click —

Cai Ning lit a cigarette, squatted beside Liu Yan, and said irritably:

"I've heard you say it several times."

"To put it bluntly."

"The mother you want to save is the mother of this body of yours."

"She's not the same Aunt Wang I used to know at all."

"While you're grieving here, we've already reached the battlefield!"

In fact, Cai Ning had never quite understood Liu Yan's actions.

Just trying to save Liang Chunhua was already considered benevolent and righteous.

There was absolutely no need to become like this just because she couldn't be saved.

"You're right." Liu Yan nodded.

"She's not my biological mother."

"But she is the mother of my current body."

"Saving her has always been my only motivation."

"And I don't know why, even though she's not my biological mother."

"But I still... feel very sad..."

Cai Ning took a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said helplessly:

"Little Eagle Country can make wishes, it's not like we can't."

"When everything is over, just wish for the resuscitation ventilator to regain its revival ability, wouldn't that solve it?"

"With what?" Liu Yan said with a bitter smile, then raised his hand to point at the Soldiers not far away.

"Use them as the price?"

"Or persuade Long Wu to use Xia Country Operatives or Xia Country people as the price?"

After speaking, Liu Yan shook his head with a bitter smile.

"To be honest, I still haven't figured this out."

"Why did John make such a losing wish?"

"How many resuscitation ventilators are there in the entire world? Less than ten thousand."

"To trade hundreds of thousands of lives, including his own, for these ten thousand people to be unable to revive?"

As he spoke, Cai Ning noticed that Liu Yan's voice already had a subtle catch, a hint of crying.

It was as if he would break down and cry the next second, but he was using all his strength to control it.

Liu Yan had thought of various wishes John might make when facing Chen Yu.

But he had never thought that John would make such a wish with a 'flipping the table and not playing anymore' mentality.

From the perspective of cost and wish, this wish was undoubtedly a losing one.

Trading the lives of the majority for the inability of the minority to revive.

This might also be one of the reasons why the wish could be realized.

Cai Ning was at a loss for words for a moment, anxiously scratching his hair.

At present, Liu Yan had undoubtedly given up.

Perhaps only he could persuade Liu Yan now.

But before Cai Ning could speak, Soldier No. 66666 couldn't hold back first.

"Boss, why aren't we going to help? Isn't it the decisive battle?"

Seeing Soldier No. 66666 speak first, Cai Ning didn't care about anything else and quickly chimed in:

"Why do you care why he made such a wish? He's just going to die and wants others to suffer too. Aren't there many people like that?"

"It's the decisive battle now, if we don't go, even more people will die."

"Is that their fate too?"

Even with their persuasion, Liu Yan remained unmoved, only frowning and thinking about something.

Cai Ning knew without even thinking that Liu Yan was still struggling with why John would make such a wish.

Clearly, Liu Yan had gotten stuck in an ox horn.

And Soldier No. 66666 on the side seemed even more anxious than Cai Ning.

Completely different from the other Soldiers.

In the eyes of the other Soldiers, if Liu Yan said to fight, they would fight.

If Liu Yan didn't go, then they would stay here with Liu Yan.

Whoosh — — — — — —!!

Not far away, the sound of a power propulsion device rang out, and Ivan flew over with an anxious expression.

Seeing Ivan fly over, Cai Ning was a bit puzzled.

"You're back so soon, did you find your buddy?"

Bang —

Ivan landed steadily on the ground, frowning:

"Couldn't find him at all."

"I went to all the shelters, and I used a phonograph to shout for Xiao Soul everywhere."

"Later, at one shelter, someone recognized Xiao Soul."

"That person told me that Xiao Soul went to the battlefield!"

"Damn it, we've known each other since we studied abroad, I know how stupid he is."

"Him going to the battlefield, isn't that just pure suicide?"

After cursing, Ivan then looked at Liu Yan.

"But what are you guys doing here?"

"Didn't you say you'd go to the battlefield after organizing?"

Liu Yan did not answer Ivan's question; instead, Cai Ning took over.

Cai Ning told Ivan everything that had just happened.

"What!!! The resuscitation ventilator can't revive people anymore?!"

Ivan exclaimed with a wide mouth, then turned to leave without looking back.

"Where are you going?" Cai Ning asked.

"To save Old Xiao! If I go any later, I probably won't even see his ashes!"

"Maybe he still thinks he can revive if he dies!"

"He's really the type to get hot-headed for his country!"

Whoosh — — — — — — — —!!!

After speaking, Ivan used his power propulsion device and flew away into the distance without looking back.
