The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"yes…"

Yuanyuan nodded and looked into his amethyst-like eyes that were glowing with a faint light, as if there was an undercurrent surging in them.

"..." Hist looked at the child in front of him in silence for a while, then said: "Where are you planning to attack?"

"I do not know."

Yuanyuan doesn’t understand these things. These are things that adults should worry about.

Dad and Uncle Laverne never avoided talking to her, but hearing and understanding are two completely different things.

War is the last thing Hist wants to see, but no one is born to live in darkness.

Judging from the worsening of the environmental pollution here, it won't be long before it becomes uninhabitable.

But once the war breaks out, more people will be displaced and lose their loved ones. This is not the tragedy he wants to see.

"You come hang out with me."

Yuanyuan grabbed his little finger and tried to drag him off the bed.

"Where to go?"

Hist moved his long legs off the bed, bent over and walked outside with her.

My benefactor is a little short, and if I stand up, I can pull her up from the ground.

"Let's go play outside..."

Yuanyuan planned to ask him to follow her for a walk outside the base to see if there was anything interesting outside.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you will meet other children and you can play hide-and-seek together.

Leaving the medical center, you can see many blonde, blue-eyed mermaids near the training ground. They will greet the children warmly when they see them.

Yuanyuan likes being around a lot of people, and she responds happily when people talk to her.

The exiles and mermaids have a very good relationship, and they get along very harmoniously like a family.

Hist followed her silently, with a lot of information constantly hitting his head, making it difficult to grasp any useful information.

The guard at the gate of the base saw the two men go out, and a team of people followed them and sent a message to Yuga that Hist had left the base.

He can't get out of here without communication equipment and spacecraft.

Yuga told them to protect the child's safety and monitor the child's location in real time.

"You seem to have a good relationship with the mermaids?"

Hist looked at the psychics walking beside him. If they were really as shameless as written in history books, why would the mermaids be so harmonious with them?

Even if we have to cooperate, we cannot be so intimate and natural with shameless people.

"Mermaids are kind-hearted and easy to get along with."

The psychic who was traveling with him hated the people of Interstellar, and his tone towards him was not kind and sounded a little stiff.

Most of the mermaids are very sweet-mouthed and their words always touch people's hearts, so everyone likes to communicate with them.

However, there are a few who are stubborn and speak too bluntly, but they don't have any bad intentions.

The scene outside the base was even more desolate. This long stretch of road was filled with barren sand and dead trees.

As the environment deteriorates, there is a faint strange smell in the air. The psychics who have lived here for a long time have long been accustomed to it.

For Hist, who had always lived on a planet with good air quality, it felt as if sand was stuffed into his nose, making his nasal cavity dry and burning.

"How far do we have to go?"

Looking back, the buildings of the base were gradually moving away, but there was still no sign of life ahead.

“We need to walk a little longer…”

Yuanyuan gestured with her hands and said that it was about this far to reach the inhabited area.

A shadow loomed before their eyes, and the psychics around them clenched their weapons vigilantly.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Hist transformed back into his animal form and lay on the ground, waiting for the little guy to jump onto him.

Yuanyuan had never ridden a big dog before, so she grabbed the hair on his neck with her two little hands and was gently thrown onto his back, landing steadily.

"you are nice."

"That's nothing good."

Compared to her life-saving grace, Hist felt that his little help was far from enough to repay her.

"Hisst, can you be my puppy?"

Yuanyuan touched the pointed horn on his head, which was very smooth, like fine jade.

"Do you want me to be loyal to you?"

Hist didn't understand what she meant. There are many meanings of "dog", and he didn't understand what kind of dog she wanted.

He is a grateful person. As long as he is not asked to do anything harmful to others, he will do it within his ability.

If she needs someone loyal to her, I am willing to be her dog.

"I want you to play with me."

Yuanyuan just wants him to be an ordinary puppy. Her father has been getting busier and busier recently and has too little time to spend with her.

"If you need me, I am willing to be your dog and be loyal to you to repay you for saving my life."

Hist had nowhere to go, so it was best for him to stay here.

In fact, he didn't really understand what these people wanted, and his attending physician Lavin had never put forward any conditions to him.

As a newly promoted major general in the interstellar space, he knew a lot of secrets, but they never tried to trick him into telling them anything.

He seemed like a transparent person.

"Really? Then you will be my little big dog from now on."

Yuanyuan happily pulled the horn on his head and asked him to run faster. The whistling wind lifted her hair, revealing her smooth forehead.

Passing through this desolate wilderness, the resettlement houses in the distance gradually came into view. A few children in old clothes were squatting on the side of the road, playing games together.

They would occasionally gather together like this to play games, and Yuanyuan would wave happily when she saw them.

"I'm coming!"

She jumped off Hist, ran quickly to everyone, squeezed in and sat cross-legged together.

"We are playing catch, do you want to join us?"

The other children moved aside and enthusiastically invited her to play with them.

There are few entertainment facilities under such harsh conditions, and we can only play some old games that can be made with local materials.

Scatter the stones on the ground, then pick up one and throw it into the air while catching the scattered stones on the ground.

Everyone's hands are too small to catch everything at once, so there is no limit on the number of times you can try as long as you can catch them all. However, if you fail to catch the thrown stone, you lose.

Yuanyuan has played this game with them many times, and her technique in catching stones has become perfect. She is the fastest among all the children.

The ground was covered with dust, and the little guy's hands were dirty after playing a few rounds.

"Yuanyuan, who is he?"

Some children noticed the majestic dog behind her with unique horns on its head.

"His name is Hist, and he's my little dog."

Yuanyuan stood up, reached out to touch Xister's nose, and introduced her new pet to everyone.

Several children came over and looked at him curiously, and reached out carefully to touch his hair.

Hist didn't hate children, but he was not used to being surrounded and watched by so many eyes, so he slowly took two steps back.

"Can he pick up sticks?"

A little fox cub picked up a branch on the ground and shook it. Any obedient puppy would pick up a branch.

"How do I pick it up?"

Yuanyuan had never trained a puppy, so she couldn't help but be curious.

"Let me try…"

The fox cub threw the branch in his hand away, and there was silence in the air.

Hist stood there and looked at them quietly: "Are you really going to train me like a dog?"

The big dog in front of them suddenly started talking, and the cubs were so scared that they quickly hid behind Yuanyuan.

"He's not just any puppy, he's a human being."

"Is he angry..."

"..."

The cubs looked at him fearfully with their big watery eyes and whispered in Yuanyuan's ear.

"I... I don't know either..." Yuanyuan was pushed to the front by the little ones, and said with difficulty with a tense face: "It wasn't me who lost it..."

The children were pushing and shoving each other, which made Hist unable to help laughing.

"I'm not angry, don't be nervous."

Throwing branches was indeed a bit rude, but he wouldn't get angry with a few three or four-year-old children.

Seeing that he was not angry, the children came over and wanted to play with him again. Yuanyuan pulled his beard and chased Hist with the other children.

The cubs' cheerful laughter as they chased each other filled the streets, and suddenly a strong wind blew.

clang-

The roof of the resettlement house in the distance was blown off and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

A few cubs were terrified and ran away with their heads in their hands, and ran back home in a flash. The streets suddenly became empty again.

Yuanyuan's little shoulders also trembled, and she lowered her head in disappointment as she watched her little friend disappear.

It all happened so fast. Hist, who was lying on the ground with his belly turned over and playing with everyone, looked at the fleeing children with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Let's go back..."

Yuanyuan turned and walked towards the base. No one would come out today.

Xister rolled over, stood up and followed him, asking in confusion: "What happened?"

"Nothing, just a noise that scared everyone."

"It was just the roof that was blown off, no one was injured."

"Everyone was afraid of the noise, thinking it was bad guys attacking them."

Yuanyuan didn’t understand at first, but later a child told her that her parents said that if she heard a noise, she must run away immediately, otherwise she would be in danger.

Such loud noises would also be heard during wars.

Hist could naturally guess the reason, and patted the cub's shoulder gently with his broad hand.

The confused brain gradually became clear with the loud noise. War is cruel, but this is the only way for these people to survive.

He began to doubt the authenticity of interstellar history, and that these people were not as unforgivable as described in the books.

How many innocent children were killed in the massive crackdown on exiles?

The group returned to the military base in silence, and Yuanyuan walked towards her father's office feeling a little tired.

Seeing that Hist was still following behind her, she reminded him seriously: "Father said that this is a restricted area and you can't bring anyone else in casually."

"Please tell Major General Yuga that I have something to say to him."

Hist stopped and watched her go in. Suddenly, a mermaid in military uniform passed by him. He raised his hand to stop the mermaid.

"Your goal is to protect the ocean and your homeland. If the exiles have done evil things like discharging pollutants, will you still trust them?"

"Why do you say that?"

The mermaid frowned and looked at him in surprise and displeasure, not understanding where he heard these rumors.

"I'm just asking, nothing else."

"If they had done evil, the leader would definitely not choose to cooperate with them. We trust the leader's choice."

"In interstellar records, the Exiles may not be what you think."

"Many criminals will embellish their evil deeds. StarCraft's actions are not worthy of our trust. The history they wrote is even more distorted and smelly, and it cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Good and evil should be felt with the heart, Hist, you shouldn't speculate like this about the person who gave you a second life."

The mermaid looked at him deeply, and it was unclear whether it was disappointment or contempt in her blue eyes, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"..."

Hist didn't make malicious speculations, he just needed others to confirm his ideas.

This person should preferably be a third party who has no relationship with the exile.

The little guy, who had just gone in, ran out happily with his short legs, jumped down from the steps and landed steadily in front of him.

"Father agreed that you could go in and talk to him."

Yuanyuan helped him convey those words, and his father agreed to meet him.

The light screen on the desk clearly displayed the scene outside the base, and the conversation between Hist and the mermaid fell clearly into Yuga's ears.

He knew what the other party wanted to prove.

The secret spies lurking in the interstellar space sent back new information. Before Hist went to quell the civil unrest, he protested against the interstellar tyranny against the mermaids and had an argument with politicians at the alliance meeting.

Having touched upon the interests of those in higher positions, it was only a matter of time before he was eliminated.

The configuration and structure of the building were similar to those of interstellar base buildings. Hist focused on the road under his feet without looking around.

Yuanyuan stood outside the office door. After her identity was recognized, she walked in quickly and held up her two gray little hands to show her father.

"Come in."

Yuga wiped the dirt off the child's hands and looked up at the door.

The interior of the office was simply furnished, and Hist stood in front of the desk, waiting for him to finish wiping the child's hands before speaking.

"Excuse me, if you win this war, what will you do with the people on those planets?"

His eyes were extremely serious, as this would determine his next decision.

"coexist."

"The land where some civilians live is your former home. Don't you hate it?"

"They didn't start the war, ordinary people just want to live a peaceful life.

Most of the power is in the hands of a small number of people, and ordinary people can only be pushed forward by the tide of the times most of the time.

However, if someone is unwilling to coexist and attempts to cause trouble, I will not tolerate that and will definitely execute them.

Where there is war, there are sacrifices. We can only do our best to protect more people from harm."

Of course, Yuga is not so generous as to forgive those who invaded his homeland, but not everyone deserves to die, and he cannot kill billions of people in the entire galaxy.

So he just wants those who made the decisions to pay the price, to revise history and face up to their crimes.

Clear the injustice of all the people who died unjustly and let them taste the consequences of their own actions.

Hist listened carefully to every word he said. Although it was not the standard answer he expected most, he could feel Yuga's kindness.

At least he wasn't someone twisted by hatred.

"Do you still need more manpower? I can't go back, and I don't want to go back. I hope the world will be peaceful in the future."
