"...Have you decided?"
Zhang Heng was silent for a long time, and then he asked again.
The person sitting across the table from him was Ye Xingxun. She took a sip of lemonade very calmly and then said: "Yes, I have decided and signed up. If there are no problems in the review after three days, I can Go to training.”
"You...why..." Zhang Heng said with difficulty, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The two fell silent.
Ever since the water droplet incident in the asteroid belt, Zhang Heng and Ye Xingxun became friends. Not only them, but most of the people who were rescued by Zhang Heng at that time knew each other well and became friends.
At this time, there was a sound coming from the door of the hotel. Zhang Heng and Ye Xingxun looked over and saw Dongcheng. He was also one of the people Zhang Heng saved at that time, and he happened to know Ye Xingxun. He also became friends with Zhang Hengcheng. friends.
Dongcheng sat down on the chair carelessly, and a waiter came to serve lemonade. He picked up Gulugulu and drank it all in one gulp, and then said to Zhang Heng and Zhang Heng, "I'm late. I'm late. I went with my wife." The hospital just came over...what happened?"
Dongcheng keenly noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Heng's expression, but Ye Xingxun looked fine.
Zhang Heng sighed and said: "She still wants to be a Wannian maintenance worker."
Dongcheng looked at Ye Xingxun in surprise, but Ye Xingxun just nodded calmly.
Dongcheng immediately widened his eyes and said: "Are you crazy!? Haven't we discussed this before? This is simply not something that people can do! Don't think that you are usually a homebody, aloof, and don't like to talk. I am very adaptable to this job, just because you can go out into society and among people at any time!”
"But when you go to this job, you are really separated from society and the crowd forever! You will never come back, forever!"
Not only Dongcheng growled with a serious face, Zhang Heng also showed the same expression. He also said: "This is much more terrifying than those life imprisonments. Let's not talk about commutations and so on. Even if it is a real life sentence, Imprisonment is just a transfer from the large human society to the small prison society. You can still see people, and you are still in a crowd society, but these ten thousand years of maintenance are different!"
Compared to the excitement of Dongcheng and Zhang Heng, Ye Xingxun was very calm. She seemed to be not talking about herself and said in a normal tone: "I know, just because I want to participate in this job, I will Everything has been considered and thought through, and I have also asked about the tasks of this work in various aspects, by the way..."
Ye Xingxun took out several report sheets from her pocket, handed them to Zhang Heng and Dongcheng and said: "This is my physical examination, this is my psychological examination, this is my personality model...the evaluation I received He is very suitable for this position and is an excellent candidate in the job rating.”
Zhang Heng and Dongcheng fell silent immediately. They looked at the reports carefully. After a long time, Dongcheng said in a hoarse voice: "Have you made your decision?"
Instead, Ye Xingxun laughed softly and said, "Why do you say the same thing as Zhang Heng... That's right, I've really made my decision."
"You all know my situation...I have nothing to lose."
Ye Xingxun opened the half of her face with her hair hanging down, which was covered with scars. She said: "My relatives are all gone, I am a lonely ghost... No, I feel sorry for you, Zhang Heng, Dongcheng, you are all friends who treat me sincerely. I am very grateful for your persistence in treating a lonely patient like me, but please respect my decision."
"I have nothing to lose, and I don't really have much to miss in this life, but this position is different. It is not only helpful to the entire human civilization, but also to this society. I will use my sacrifice to protect more people and protect more people." For good people like you two, who protect my friends, this is also the chance to fulfill my wish...the only chance."
Zhang Heng and Dongcheng both responded in silence.
They had been friends with Ye Xingxun for so long, how could they not know about Ye Xingxun's past life?
Her parents passed away long ago in the Earth era, and she became an orphan, and because of her disfigurement, she had no interest or expectation in dating. Although she was alive, she was only alive, but the position of Ten Thousand Years Maintenance Personnel could really be achieved. her expectations.
"In the future, when the decision maker can salvage the condensed body of human civilization, not only will I be salvaged, but my parents will also be able to return together. Only then will I truly be alive. Zhang Heng, Dongcheng, As my best friends, you should be happy for me." Ye Xingxun said with a smile.
Zhang Heng and Dongcheng just smiled bitterly.
They knew that Ye Xingxun was really determined and could no longer stop him...
The same thing happens in various places in residential areas.
If you are just a ten thousand year maintainer, even the most lofty and dedicated people will hesitate, because this is really an inhuman and horrific torture, completely leaving human society, and then watching yourself age and die in loneliness.
If this were the case, then perhaps not even 100,000 people could be found among the 1.2 billion people.
It’s not that humans no longer have the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, it’s that it has gone beyond the concept of sacrifice.
But with the addition of the salvage quota and priority salvage declaration issued by Lu Yuanming, the situation immediately became different.
Although they are still aging and dying in loneliness, there is still hope of returning in the future, and when they return, human society may have become better and have entered the beautiful era of science fiction in the future, not to mention their past regrets. make up.
In the age of the earth, countless people have lost relatives or orphans. Whether they are parents, lovers, or children, people always have countless regrets in their lives, and separation between life and death is the biggest regret.
Now Lu Yuanming may not be able to salvage humans from the condensed body of human civilization, but as Lu Yuanming continues to become stronger, and as human civilization continues to improve its technological level, sooner or later he will be able to resurrect humans in the past. , and when that time comes, they will be resurrected and return, receiving applause and praise as human heroes and martyrs. At the same time, their regrets will be made up for, and their most cherished people will also return with them.
In some people's words, this may be their only chance.
A few days passed quickly, and Ye Xingxun also successfully passed the review and entered the preparatory maintenance training for ten thousand years.
Contrary to her expectations, she originally thought that there might be many people willing to participate in this position, but when she arrived at the training team site, it felt like a huge crowd of people. There were actually 10,000 to 20,000 people waiting in this training team site.
"Surprised?"
A voice sounded next to Ye Xingxun. Ye Xingxun quickly looked over and saw a tall, pretty, childlike-faced woman smiling at her.
Yes, she was tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, but her face looked like that of a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. Even Ye Xingxun was stunned for a moment.
The woman said carelessly: "Sun Yun, hello."
"Ye Xingxun." Ye Xingxun replied quickly.
Sun Yun looked at the venue with a smile and said: "I was shocked when I came. I originally thought that this training session would have a few hundred people at most, but who knew there might be tens of thousands of people participating... But This is only natural."
Ye Xingxun asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? I used to think there were a few hundred people at most... Why do you think so many people are natural?"
Sun Yun still smiled and said: "There are various reasons. For example, like me, I want to resurrect an important person, and there are also people who really want to sacrifice for human civilization. This is also true. As for others, In fact, there are some people with a thoughtful mentality. I was chatting with a few other men before, and they all looked like super otakus. One of them said that anyway, he is just a loser. Even if he reaches the stars and the sea, he I can’t fly a Gundam, I can’t study, I don’t even want to work.”
"He also asked the government personnel, who clearly told him that if he has a mission, he may stay up late doing maintenance work, but when there is no mission, he can rest and entertain in his own residence after spending two or three hours a day on inspection. , and in order to satisfy the physical and mental health of Wannian maintainers, not only will they create two to three companion semi-intelligent robots according to their ideas, but they can also tailor a large number of games for them, as well as all past online stand-alone games. Version source code, as well as all stand-alone games can be stored in their personal computers..."
"In short, these world-weary otakus are also one of the main force of Wannian maintainers. In their words, at least they no longer feel that they are useless. At the same time, even if they die of old age in this job, there is hope that they can be resurrected in the future. Come here, they will still be heroes by then, and I don’t know how advanced human technology is at that time. Maybe some fully immersive virtual reality games or real-life Gundams can appear, and they can also bring their relatives back. It’s a hell of a deal for them.”
Ye Xingxun was really speechless when he heard this.
She felt that these otakus really had novel brains... Do they really not regret it? Are they really not going to turn into a destabilizing factor?
Sun Yun suddenly asked: "Ye Xingxun, why do you want to take this position?"
Ye Xingxun was silent for a moment. She was a little uncomfortable with Sun Yun's familiarity, but she still said: "There is someone I really want to resurrect..."
Sun Yun said happily: "I have it too, so I'm here to participate, then... let's work together in the future?"
"...Okay, let's do our best together."
At the same time, in the office building on the edge of the training team field, Lin Yanzheng and Haosheng looked at the tens of thousands of people in the field.
Haosheng looked at it for a long time and said: "It just looks like there's no one with ulterior motives inside... But I'm still worried. I'll go in with the team staff to take a look later."
Lin Yan couldn't help but said: "You qualified people are really convenient, and now you can even feel the human heart?"
Haosheng shook his head and said: "Definitely not. This is a kind of dangerous intuition. Among the qualified people, one is me and the other is Zhang Heng. The two of us have the strongest intuition about danger, and this group of people will participate in thousands of events in the future." People who hold maintenance positions for many years, if they want to secretly cause sabotage, they will definitely threaten me, so I can generally sense whether anyone among them has ulterior motives."
Lin Yan curled his lips and said: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be more accurate if Lu Yuanming did the sensing in person? And the range must be much larger than you, so he is the most qualified person, right?"
Haosheng said to Lin Yan seriously: "Do you still have feelings for him? It's not that he doesn't come, but that he is participating in a psychic information transmission experiment. Because of this, he has not slept a wink for two days and two nights. You We really shouldn’t treat him like this, he has done enough and good enough..."
"I didn't say he didn't do a good job."
After Lin Yan said this, she saw Haosheng's serious expression. She looked up, and after a few seconds she looked away and said helplessly: "Okay, he did much better than I expected... I admit it. .”
"Whether it is adopting everyone's opinions, deciding to tell the truth to all mankind, or deciding to implement the plan to meet again in the future, as well as the selection of ten thousand year maintenance personnel, and the salvage quotas released after that, etc., he has done It went much better than I expected.”
"To be honest, whether the Ten Thousand Years Maintainer can be salvaged from the condensed body of human civilization is something that no one can predict, but he dares to take responsibility and make promises. Do you know? Haosheng, he is now The status actually belongs to the role of human emperor in disguise, and Jun Wuxi said that the promise he mentioned is actually equivalent to the credibility of human civilization and the unified human government!"
"He may not understand this, but it is impossible that Tang Zhe'an does not understand. He will definitely tell him all about this powerful relationship before he speaks. In the future, it will be fine if he does not have the ability to salvage human information. Once he has this ability, Then he must be the first to salvage these ten thousand year maintenance personnel. Before salvaging them all and satisfying their three quotas, no matter if he salvages anyone else, this is equivalent to human civilization and the unified human government. Including his own credit bankruptcy."
"Even if it is his parents, his sister, his friends, elders, etc., they must be ranked behind these ten thousand year maintenance personnel. It is impossible for him not to know this, but he still said those words, Made such a promise..."
Having said this, Lin Yan looked helplessly at the square and said, "Otherwise, do you think that tens of thousands of people will sign up now? No, it is good to have three to five hundred people. This is because everyone trusts him. His performance has never let us down in the past, and he has shown too many miracles, so even if he dies of aging alone for decades and can never return to human society, these people are still willing to believe in him. I believe he will salvage them in the future.”
"He...became like a real hero."
