You said, is it right to sacrifice a small part for the benefit of the majority?
And is it wrong to sacrifice the interests of the majority for the benefit of a small part?
Life or bonds, it doesn't matter. After all, in this world called the end of the world, everything is ultimately just someone else's "casual mention"...
[City Recapture Battle No. 013 - First 5 Minutes]
"A team A has reached the target location."
"Team B here has also confirmed."
"The supply drop point has been confirmed, and the airdrop is expected to be executed in 10 minutes..."
(Air Garden Operations Meeting Room)
The spacious room appeared extremely crowded due to the influx of people. And the immensely large projection screen in front, emitting a faint blue light, undoubtedly symbolized the declaration of humanity—may the glory of mankind endure.
But the blue light, representing the hope of life, seemed to be in imminent danger amidst the almost boundless scarlet surroundings.
"Hasan Speaker."
"Please speak..."
That was when Hasan was reviewing the report just submitted by the surrounding staff, a female soldier walked over with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Please take a look at this."
As the female soldier handed the report to Hasan, just one glance made Hasan furrow his brow involuntarily.
"Tsk, earlier than expected."
"Yes. Although we have always anticipated such a situation. But the convergence of infectious agent around us is still 70.34% faster than the most recent estimate."
"So that means..."
As soon as the words fell, Hasan once again shifted his gaze to the huge projection screen in front of him. However, this time, within the edges filled with scarlet, a few faint red dots were quickly converging towards the center of the azure.
"Yes... they have engaged the enemy."
【013 City Recapture Battle—Frontline Position】
"Damn it! Who told you to lose focus!"
Just now, just a moment of distraction almost cost a soldier his life at the hands of an infectious agent. And the reason for all of this was the trembling young man at this moment.
"I'm... I'm sorry..."
Although the trembling of the young man made the captain of the squad here somewhat angry. But when he saw the mechanical arm on the right side of the young man, the insult he originally wanted to blurt out was forcibly held back.
"How old are you?" The captain asked, glancing at the young man, then deliberately kicking the infectious agent's remains away to the outside as if to distract himself.
"Fourteen... fourteen years old!" The young man said in a fluster, saluting the captain. But his somewhat forced demeanor made the captain chuckle.
Then the next second, when the captain seemed to have some thoughts, he walked straight to the young man in front of him and lightly touched his chest pocket.
"That... I know I was wrong. It's just... so please don't..."
The boy, afraid, closed his eyes and subconsciously raised his trembling arms in front of him. However, when the captain's large, heavy hand gently landed on his head, the boy's tightly closed eyes slowly opened along with a sense of warmth. In that moment, looking at the captain's smile, the boy seemed to recall his deceased father.
(If his father were still here, he would probably be like this now.)
Without too much movement, just gently place the palm on the top of the head.
"Just now..."
Before the captain could finish, the young man shook his head. "No. I understand."
But this time, the young man responded with a smile.
"Is that so? That's good then. As soldiers, we need to rely on each other's backs. But besides that..."
In the midst of the conversation, the captain took out a photo from the pocket on his chest.
"You also remind me of my own child."
The captain handed the photo to the young man, looking particularly proud. It's unclear whether this pride stemmed from the past honors of his child or from the fact that he could still stand before his child at this moment.
"After we return, come to my house as a guest. Perhaps you all could even..."
Perhaps fate just likes to tease people like this.
At the moment when the hopeful words are still unfinished, and the young fingertips have not yet touched the photograph.
The displayed smile was completely frozen in a scarlet beam of light...
"Huh?"
Instinctively, he followed the source of the light. In his almost blank mind, the young man once again left a deep mark. It wasn't until a clear, crisp sound reached his ears.
It was as if something had fallen to the ground, weak and pitiful. Then, as the young man felt the wet sensation at his feet, his dazed expression finally returned.
"Ah!!"
Accompanied by almost instantaneous gunfire and shouting, the surrounding explosions and wails also began to fill every corner of this place.
"Quick, crouch down!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a chilling figure rushed in front of the young man. The figure first forcefully pushed the young man down into the trench, then held a katana straight in front of himself.
Another beam of scarlet light came rushing towards here. But it was blocked by the resolute gaze of the girl with a katana.
"Be careful, Lucia!"
I heard another explosion not far away.
The girl named Lucia turned her head under the gaze of the young man beneath her.
"Lily! I'll take care of the left side!"
Before the young man could even react, the girl in front of him rushed forward and disappeared from his sight.
(She seems to be about the same age as me...) That was what the young man thought for a moment. But now, as the liquid beneath him completely enveloped him, the photograph drifting beside his hand finally touched his fingertips.
In the young man's eyes, tears had already filled up, and he could no longer see clearly in the photo.
("As soldiers, we need to rely on each other and support one another.")
"I'm sorry... I'm too weak..."
In the trembling accompanied by instinctive fear, the young man curled up his body.
(When you get back, come to my house as a guest. Maybe you can even...)
"I'm sorry..."
"I... don't want to die..."
