"Mom, why haven't you connected yet?" A 56-year-old girl in a light green dress asked impatiently looking at the virtual screen in front of her.

The young woman sitting next to the girl smiled and comforted: "Your father must be delayed by something, we are waiting patiently for a while."

This woman is obviously the girl's mother. Due to the special energy that suddenly appeared decades ago, the life expectancy of all human beings has increased by a large margin. Even though she has reached the age of 35, the woman still looks like she is in her twenties.

"But we've been waiting for more than an hour, did dad forget?" the girl muttered dissatisfied.

As soon as the words fell, the virtual screen in front of the two of them appeared, a man in a blue military uniform.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time because of some things." The man in military uniform asked with a smile on his face, "Did you mother and daughter miss me?"

"I want to!" The girl raised her hands and answered first, "Father, when are you coming back? It's my birthday next month."

When the man in military uniform heard that his daughter's birthday would be next month, his eyes dimmed, and he said with a smile, "I'll be back at the end of the month."

"Really? That's great, you must buy me a big three-tier cake!" The girl first showed a bright smile, and then looked at her father suspiciously.

"Wait, old man, you seem to have said the same thing last year, are you fooling me again this time?"

The girl actually knows that her father is a soldier, and it is difficult to return to Earth during this special period, but he still hopes that her father can come back and celebrate her 16th birthday with her.

"Uh..." Father showed an awkward smile, raised his right hand, and said, "I swear I will never break my promise this time."

"In two days, Dad will fight off those aliens, and then come back with a ten-layer cake to celebrate your birthday with you."

As soon as these words came out, the mother who had been watching with a smile suddenly became a little forced.

Next, the girl took out her favorite work, a portrait of her family of three celebrating their 16th birthday, and showed it to her father who was far away in outer space.

"How about it? I plan to take this painting to participate in the competition at the end of the year. Then you two must take time to go with me."

The man on the virtual screen opened his mouth slightly, and the words he wanted to blurt out were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

At this time, the mother who was sitting beside the girl smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, what place do you plan to take?"

The girl put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Of course it's No.1!"

The man on the screen also came back to his senses, laughed and said, "As expected of my daughter, Dad believes that you will definitely win the first place."

At this time, a mechanical voice sounded: [Hello, the vegetables you ordered have been delivered downstairs, please come down to pick them up. 】

Mother said: "Xiao Ke, go downstairs and help me bring up the vegetables."

"Okay." The girl got up with a face of reluctance, and just took two steps and turned to look at her father on the screen, saying: "Dad, remember to wait for me to come back, you don't want to leave."

The father said with a doting smile: "Dad, I will always be by your side, how can I go."

With her father's promise, the girl hurried out of the house.

After her daughter left, the smile on the woman's face disappeared and was replaced by sadness.

"Is it going to war?"

The man nodded, and said with a firm expression: "The alien fleet is only one light-year away from the solar system. Once they enter the solar system, they may use the space jump to surprise the orbit of the planet Earth at any time, so we must keep them out of the solar system." .”

The woman asked: "Is there no other way? Is war the only option? Can't you stay behind?"

The woman actually knew that this was an inevitable war. When the government of the Earth Republic asked all human beings to make a choice, she was also the one who chose to fight.But when the war really came, she hoped that her husband would not have to go to the battlefield. Even the woman herself felt that this kind of thinking was a bit too selfish.

The man shook his head and replied, "Honey, this is the duty of a soldier, and it is also the duty of a human being."

The woman covered her mouth and began to cry, and said: "But...but honey, you will die, what will Xiao Ke and I do after you die? Xiao Ke is very much looking forward to your coming back to celebrate his birthday with him."

Looking at his crying wife, the man wanted to hug her, but at this time he was already on his way to the battlefield.

"Sorry, I am not a qualified husband and father, but I have to do this. Although the universe is big, I have no way to retreat, and I must not retreat, because behind me is the earth, my home, and you.

"I may never return, but at least I can give you mother and daughter the hope of surviving. I promise to keep the enemy out of the solar system and leave a peaceful solar system for you."

The woman asked with a choked tone: "Then can you guarantee that you will come back alive?"

Facing his wife's question, the man opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again, his eyes became very dim.The chance of him surviving this war can be said to be one in a billion, and he is actually a dying person now.

After more than ten seconds of silence, the man replied: "Honey, I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you mother and daughter in the future. But my pension should allow you mother and daughter to live forever, If you feel lonely at that time, you can find a good man and remarry, don't worry about me."

The woman said: "Why? Why are you not willing to leave me with even a single lie, or even a shred of fantasy!"

"Honey, please tell me now that you will definitely come back, let me wait for you."

"I..." The man moved his lips a few times, and then slowly spit out two words: "Sorry."

Next month, the girl's birthday.

The girl looked up at her mother who was hugging her tightly, and asked, "Mom, have we lost the battle? Is it possible that Dad can't come back?"

The mother reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair, and said softly, "Xiao Ke, Dad is always by Xiao Ke's side, and mother will always be by Xiao Ke's side."

The next moment, the voice of the supreme leader of the republic sounded again.

[Hearing this voice, it means that I should have died in battle, but humans have not lost yet.The original plan was opened, and he was born as a human being and died as a human being. 】

"Huh?" The girl's expression was a little dull and puzzled, but before she could react to the announcement, her mother had already hugged her tightly.

The girl felt her mother's body trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of something, and the next moment her mother's choking voice reached her ears.

"Xiao Ke, if you can live to become the original, you don't have to think about revenge, protect yourself, and live happily. Mom doesn't expect you to revive mankind and become a hero of mankind. I only hope that you can live happily , your father probably thinks so too."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" the girl asked in a slightly fearful voice, she felt as if her mother was saying goodbye to her.

The next moment, the mother turned into countless particles of light, floating in the air, and then a voice came into the girl's ears.

"Mom and Dad are always by Xiao Ke's side."

Chapter 239 Planning First Steps

Tatsumi walked out of the academy and said to the dozen or so pioneers waiting outside: "Mission completed, retreat begins."

"Yes."

The exploration team shuttled between the various buildings, using these buildings as cover, and quickly moved towards the portal area.Although now Daxia has roughly figured out the world, the safest place for human pioneers in this world is the city.But the pioneers still dare not fly in the city, and even have to hide when they move in the city.

Because every city is under the observation of alien civilizations, Daxia does not want to expose himself in advance, so his actions must be hidden.Fortunately, the alien civilization only dared to use the most basic photographic observations, and could only get the general situation of the city and could not monitor every corner.

As long as the pioneers are careful enough, it will be difficult for alien civilizations to notice that a group of unknown humans suddenly appeared in human cities.
