If you don't agree, do it! Roll up your sleeves, empty your property and go back to the country
Chapter 346 The Answer Called Faith
"Are they gone?" Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng who walked in from outside, and asked without raising his head while sorting out the things in his hands.
Fang Meng walked over with a smile, took the clothes from the little girl's hand, and began to fold them naturally. "Well, Uncle Zhu said he had to go back and tell Grandpa Zhu about it. Also, he has to report to the General Military Region tomorrow. The army has allocated him a family compound. If we have time, after we settle in, he would like to invite us over for a meal and to get to know the family. If you are willing, Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Zhu would also like to meet you. Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. Uncle Zhu said that they are not important. The most important thing is that you are happy."
"It's hindsight!" Bai Nuo rolled his eyes without any hesitation.
After they arrived at the Wei family's old house, they first found an empty room to put the large items they brought back. Then An Yan went back to the An family first. Bai Nuo found a guest room in the west wing for Liu Yanan to rest. After that, Fang Meng went to see the three people from the Zhu family off, and Bai Nuo had time to pack up.
Fang Meng chuckled. As for the little girl complaining about her father, he wisely chose not to participate and just listened.
His grandfather taught him that when there is a conflict between his wife and father-in-law, the best choice for a son-in-law is to protect himself and then be a good peacemaker. To put it bluntly, he should be a fence-sitter and lean towards the side that has the higher position.
Fang Meng gently pushed away Bai Nuo's hand that wanted to help, pressed the little girl to sit on the chair next to him, then turned around and went back to pack the things out of the wooden box, saying: "Just now when I came back, I called the team leader, and he asked us to find time to go back to the team later. You three have been in the team for almost half a year, and you still don't know which way to go home. It's a bit unreasonable. In addition, some equipment needs to be updated.
We also need to plan our future arrangements. He also mentioned the housing issue. I'm following the normal procedures for returning to the team. You and Liu Yanan will report to the Public Security Bureau, where they'll have two single rooms allocated for you. An Rong will go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it's difficult to arrange separate rooms. However, if necessary, the team leader can arrange for a single room for him. However, if that happens, our team will be too scattered, making it difficult to carry out future missions. So, we thought we should go back and discuss this so that we can arrange for someone who can be of use to be with us."
Most of the members of their team were in the same battalion as Fang Meng. On the surface, they were all ordinary soldiers in the army. When they were not on missions, they naturally lived and ate in the army.
But for team members with special characteristics like Bai Nuo, Liu Yanan and An Yan, they will be given an identity to hide outside, and their food, accommodation and transportation will be properly arranged. This is to facilitate management, and it is also a form of protection for them. Special talents are all important elite talents of the army, and the loss of one is a loss to the country.
This is something that no responsible leader wants to see.
Bai Nuo didn't care about these things when she just woke up. Her only thought was to avenge her mother, protect her home, take good care of her grandparents and uncle, and by the way, help her resentful elder brother when she encountered problems.
Of course, if necessary, she can be asked to destroy a country. She never cares about the overall situation, defending the country, or national interests, and she doesn't understand those things at all.
Although her memory includes the teachings of her grandparents for more than ten years, she remembers the national hatred and family feuds that her grandfather talked about, and she also understands the sacrifices and pains that the older generations paid for the country and the people.
However, the habits and nature of the seventeen years of the apocalypse have long been ingrained in her bones, and she still cannot establish those so-called beliefs. She can even take her family away at any time for their safety.
He had previously agreed to join the special operations team and become a soldier hiding in the dark, just to make revenge more convenient.
But after six months, maybe because I saw too many eyes full of determination and justice in those team members, or maybe because I saw their belief in sacrificing everything to complete the mission, I suddenly seemed to understand the faith in their hearts.
It’s just like my grandfather. He had suffered so much injustice, and he could have saved his family by just handing over his belongings. He could have lived a better life by just leaving.
But whether it was my grandfather or my great-uncle, they both chose to stay, even though they were imprisoned and supervised, even though they had to hide their identities and do those shady jobs, they kept trying and persevering, waiting for the light that belonged to this country.
"Second brother, I've never asked you why you chose to stay in the army." Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Fang Meng chose to join the army not only to have a more reliable future, but also because his grandfather Zhou was transferred to another job and he didn't want to stay in the Fang family, so he chose to join the army.
But, you clearly said you would come back in two years.
Fang Meng paused while tidying his clothes. A flicker of nostalgia flashed across his eyes as he thought of something. Finally, he chuckled, "Niuniu, I know what you want to ask. The shadows and instincts left over from the apocalypse are too deep, so deep that we can't get rid of them in this lifetime. So I thought at the time that it would be good to be an ordinary person in this life. I would serve in the army steadily, be discharged safely, and then go home to pick you up. We would go to Hong Kong to live together. That place might be more suitable for people like us than here."
So when I first joined the army, I behaved like an ordinary recruit, not trying to stand out or compete. I just thought about having the opportunity to earn some military merits, and then going home to pick you up when the time came. This was also what I had agreed with Grandma Wei.
But before I could leave the recruit company, I followed my squad leader to the battlefield.
We've all seen a world infested with zombies and are used to it. I thought I had long been accustomed to a world full of death.
Until I saw the battlefield here, tragic, bloody, and full of regret and hope.
The first person to sacrifice himself in front of us was our squad leader. He told me to run fast, saying that I was still young and asked me to run fast and survive, reminding me that I still had to go home to take care of my younger sister.
But the squad leader was only nineteen years old at the time, he had a mother and a younger sister.
After that came the platoon leader, the instructor, the veteran who took care of me, and the military doctor who gave me dry food.
At that moment, I suddenly understood what the faith my grandfather had talked about was. It was for the victory of the country, for the peace of the people, and for the safety of the family. This was their faith.
So, I didn't leave. I chose to pick up my gun and lead the remaining dozen or so wounded soldiers to defend our position. Then, I sneaked into the other side alone, released the supernatural power that had been suppressed for ten years, killed all the enemies on the other side, and avenged my comrades.
Fang Meng sighed softly, raised his head and looked at the little girl who had sat down beside him without him noticing. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and laughed out loud: "Niuniu, I may still not have the faith that grandpa and the others talked about, but I want to protect the faith of those comrades who sacrificed their lives."
"I don't understand either!" Bai Nuo reached out and gently took the man's hand, his eyebrows curved, his eyes filled with warmth and a firmness for the future. "But I will stay with you. It's worthy of the uniform. Mom said that the military uniform is sacred, solemn, and worth dedicating our lives to. Although I'm not that great, I also want to know what Mom was thinking when she chose to crash into it with her fighter plane."
"it is good!"
No matter what the future holds, no matter whether they can witness the arrival of light, it doesn’t matter anymore.
They will no longer be as lonely as they were in their previous lives, because they will walk together on the road ahead, fight together, and search together for the answer called faith.
