The Memory Lost in Space - 64. Chapter 64
After Cinna spoke, the consul said: “Free communication time, you can ask questions.”
A soldier raised his hand, and the consul motioned him to ask.
The soldier stood up and saluted Cinnabar: “Commander, you are of 3A physical fitness, and the probability of mutation is far greater than us. Are you afraid?”
“Fear.”
“What are you most afraid of?”
Cinnabar was silent for a moment, and said: “As you know, I am married, and my wife’s physical fitness is worse than mine.”
Everyone chuckled softly. Except for the Archon, everyone in the Federation was physically weaker than the Commander.
“I used to dream that I bit her to death and ate her.”
Everyone’s laughter stopped abruptly.
In speechless silence, the soldier sat down with a respectful military salute, “Thank you, Commander.”
A female soldier raised her hand to ask a question.
“Commander, does your wife know about this? As a genetically pure human, how does she think that the alien species will change?”
“She knows.” Cinsha’s gaze fell on Lorraine. “She completely accepts the alien species.”
“Isn’t she scared?”
“…”
Everyone was waiting for the answer, but Cinnabar did not answer for a long time.
In the silence, Lorraine stood up suddenly and said, “I’m very scared.”
All the soldiers turned their heads together and looked at Lorraine.
Lorraine blinked narrowly at the soldiers staring at her in shock, saying that I was married.
She said to the female soldier who asked the question: “I am Lorraine, the commander’s wife. Your question is about me, and I will answer it. I am not only afraid, but I also hate sudden changes.”
Everyone was in an uproar, with different expressions.
“Then…you dare to sit here?” There are thousands of people sitting in the Hall of Heroes, but they are all alien species.
“When I first arrived in Alicata, someone like you told me that being brave is not not not afraid, but obviously afraid, still hiding compassion, holding a sharp sword, and facing difficulties. Back then, I didn’t I fully understand what he said, and now I understand, because I, like you, have things that I would rather be afraid than give up, so I will be afraid and brave at the same time.”
The female soldier seemed to realize something, and was thinking about something in a daze.
A male soldier stood up and asked sharply: “You just said that you are not only afraid of the mutation, but also hate it?” Obviously he conflated the mutation with the alien.
“Yes! I hate it very much!” Lorraine said against his mocking gaze, “I have decided to defeat it and destroy it as my lifelong goal!”
The male soldier froze for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: “What did you say? How is it possible?”
“Sudden mutation is a genetic disease. I am a gene repairer. I said I want to work out a cure for the mutation. Why is it impossible?”
The male soldier who asked the question was no longer hostile, and he didn’t want to attack and said it was impossible, but there was no way to hypocritically say that it was possible, so he could only be silent.
The consul said: “Sit down if there is no problem.”
The female and male soldiers saluted the consul and commander, and then sat down.
Lorraine stood still: “I have a question for your consul.”
The archon raised his hand, motioning to ask.
“Why do we have to kill the mutant after the mutation?”
“Research so far shows that after 15 minutes, the mutant loses his mind completely and becomes a crazy beast. It is impossible to change back into a human being.”
“You also said that it’s the research so far. What if they have a chance to become human?”
“Prove this in case! When it can’t be proved, letting the mutants die with dignity is the last respect of the Federation for them.”
“The last respect? How do you know that they don’t want to live? Shouldn’t the greatest respect be respect for the wishes of the individual?” Lorraine’s voice became sharp and high-pitched, like a sharp spear, stabbing the consul.
The consul looked at all the soldiers in the audience: “After the change, do you want to die, or do you want to be crazy beasts with no conscious mind and continue to live?”
“Death!” There was a majestic shout from the Hall of Heroes, and everyone spoke without hesitation.
Lorraine stared at the determined faces around him.
They are all the best fighters in the Federation, they would rather die than become crazy man-eating beasts and continue to live.
Is this also Qianxu’s choice?
Lorraine asked grimly: “If it can be proved that even after the 15-minute golden period, it is still possible to regain consciousness and transform back into human beings, would you like to live like a beast?”
There was no sound.
The female soldier who just asked the question suddenly said: “I am willing! My boyfriend is an ordinary person and is not in good health. As long as it is possible to return to him, I am willing to try everything possible.”
“Thank you!” Lorrain turned his head and stared at the Archon, “I will try to prove in case!”
In a solemn dark green uniform, she was the only light white, not only the consul and the commander looked at her, but all the soldiers also looked at her.
With tears in her eyes, Lorraine said to all the soldiers in the hall: “My colleagues and I will work hard to find that one in ten thousand chance. At that time, please also work hard. Don’t give up yourself easily, even if it becomes Don’t let others kill you if you don’t want to be a crazy beast!
Death is painful, but missing it is even more painful! The name in the Hall of the Heroes is not only engraved on the bricks, but also on the hearts of those who miss them, and it becomes an eternal pain! ”
Her Qianxu can no longer come back, but she hopes that these young soldiers will still have the opportunity to return to their relatives, lovers, and friends even if they unfortunately change in the future.
In front of Qianxu’s dormitory.
Lorraine saw a few pots of flowers on the window sill, the flowers blooming colorfully; on the windows there were pink and white gauze curtains, gently drifting with the breeze.
Obviously, the house where Qian Xu once lived has welcomed a new owner, and the traces of his life have been cleaned up.
Lorraine left blankly in sorrow.
In eleven years, she did things that seemed impossible, but she lost the person who accompanied her and encouraged her to accomplish these things.
On the speeding interstellar train.
Lorraine stared at the empty seat opposite.
Qian Xu didn’t have much money. There was money in Lorraine’s account, but it didn’t belong to her. Two people travel on cheap and affordable interstellar trains. Sometimes there is too much luggage, which is really inconvenient. At that time, Lorraine’s biggest wish was to wait for the genetic repairer license and make money to buy a second-hand private spacecraft.
She took out the genetic repairer license and slowly spread it out, looking carefully for the first time.
The name of the gene repairer is “Luo Lan”, not “Luo Xun”.
The person who worked hard for eleven years was Luo Xun, but Luo Xun still did not exist.
Luo Xun was born because of Qianxu, and seemed to disappear with his departure.
Tears dripped on the paper.
Interstellar train’s intellectual brain broadcasts: “Arrival at the orphanage in front of the station.”
Lorrain wiped away her tears, rolled up the license that meant wealth, status, and power at will, stuffed it into her bag, and got out of the car.
At the gate of the orphanage, Lorraine discovered that because of the semi-militarized management, the orphanage was not allowed to enter at will. After real-name registration and a high fee, he took a tour bus under the leadership of a volunteer guide.
Luo Lan registered as Luo Xun, and accompanied by a young volunteer, visited the orphanage.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Lorrain found that it hadn’t been here for nearly eleven years, but time seemed to stagnate here, no matter the scenery or people, there was no change in the slightest.
Groups of children were playing everywhere, laughter kept coming into the ears, but the man who accompanied the children to play the battleship game was never seen.
The volunteer who works as a tour guide is a young woman who is still in college. “Miss, how come you visit the orphanage?”
“I have a friend who lived here.”
“No wonder! Why didn’t he come with you?”
“He has passed away.”
The tour guide said uncomfortably: “Sorry, I’m too much talkative.”
“fine.”
“Do you know which dormitory he lives in? I can take you to the dormitory he lived in.”
Lorraine was taken aback, and said bitterly: “I don’t know.”
The tour guide said enthusiastically: “It doesn’t matter. Many visitors who come to look for their relatives don’t know the dormitory where their relatives lived. What is your friend’s name? I can help you look up the dormitory he used to live in.”
“Qianxu.”
The tour guide opens his personal terminal and logs on to the website of the orphanage to inquire about Qian Xu’s accommodation information.
After a while, she apologized to Lorraine and said, “I don’t know what’s going on. I haven’t found your friend’s accommodation information. Are you sure he is called by this name?”
“Very sure.”
The tour guide helped Lorrain search again, and the result still showed “No such person found”.
Originally, Luolan was just a lovesick and incomprehensible. On a whim, she wanted to go back to the place where Qian Xu lived. She didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. It was as if all traces of Qian Xu’s life had been erased.
The tour guide saw her look ugly, and was busy relieved her: “Don’t worry, maybe the information is missing. Maybe your friend changed his name after leaving the orphanage. This happened before. Well, let me go to the orphanage to manage the dormitory. Teacher, ask her to check it carefully for you.”
Lorraine left her contact number gratefully, and ask her to notify her immediately when she has news.
