Qin Wanglan understood and said, "No wonder I asked for your home address and your entire family's household registration in Wangcheng, but you said that all your family members were gone."
After saying this, Qin Wanglan suddenly became nervous, as if realizing something, and asked, "Is your aunt still alive?!"
Xia Chujian asked, "The scientist you wanted to protect back then was called Hua Yixin? What were those three characters?"
Qin Wanglan said, "It's the same as your name, except for the middle character, which is Yi, which means easy."
Xia Chujian nodded and thought, it is indeed the same name as Hua Yixin in the underwater laboratory.
She thought about it, and just to be on the safe side, she asked tentatively, "Have you heard of Xia Yuanfang?"
Qin Wanglan shook his head blankly: "Xia Yuanfang? Who is that? Is he your uncle?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
God damn uncle!
But then again, why doesn't she have an uncle?
My aunt is such an outstanding woman!
That Shen Junyi was obviously attracted to his aunt and had a crush on her...
So when my aunt was young, was there anyone pursuing her?
Why hasn't she gotten married?
Is it because I, the "burden", have dragged her down?
Xia Chujian's mind flashed with thoughts, and he said, "No, Xia Yuanfang is not my uncle."
"It's alright if you don't know him."
Xia Chujian is now certain that Hua Yixin's consciousness is likely to wake up in Xia Yuanfang's body.
She felt a little relieved and began to tell Qin Wanglan what she knew about Hua Yixin's history.
It was an experience that may have existed in history, but not in their history textbooks.
"The Hua Yixin you know is a scientist. They once fought a desperate battle against the invading relic species in an underwater laboratory, and all of them died heroically in the end."
Qin Wanglan was shocked. He stood up suddenly, his face flushed instantly, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is impossible!"
"Dr. Hua is receiving the strongest protection from our country!"
"No matter how powerful the invading alien species are, they can't break through our last line of defense!"
Xia Chujian shrugged and said, "That's the truth."
Then, she recounted in detail the experience she had in the game.
When Qin Wanglan heard her describe the other experimenters in the laboratory, his face suddenly turned pale.
He murmured, "Yes, that's the laboratory where Dr. Hua is..."
"At the time, she was the youngest scientist in that lab."
"Those people are her senior brothers and sisters..."
"They are all very powerful. Every scientific discovery they make is enough to withstand a massive army!"
"Those ferocious and powerful alien species were once repelled by the biological weapons they invented..."
"But later, more powerful alien species arrived on our planet, and Dr. Hua and his team's research couldn't keep up with the speed of their iterative evolution."
"So the country decided to launch the Spark Project, sending the best scientists to a laboratory in the deep sea."
Qin Wanglan covered his head and sobbed, "The alien species that descended from outer space are becoming stronger and stronger, and our soldiers...are dying in large numbers..."
"Our army... was annihilated in its entirety by the alien species."
"That day, before the final battle, I led the country's most elite guards as the last line of defense at the estuary."
"…But not long after, everything went black and I lost consciousness."
"When I woke up again, I was already at this place."
"This inexplicable place, where barbarism and civilization coexist, where divine arts and technology are side by side."
"I dream of going back to my own battlefield, leading my own warriors, and killing those alien species with my own hands!"
Xia Chujian looked at him sympathetically and said slowly but firmly, "If I'm not mistaken, the place you want to protect no longer exists."
"Everyone there has died."
Qin Wanglan closed his eyes, covered his face with his hands, and tears fell through his fingers.
His shoulders were shaking, as if he was trying hard to endure but was unable to hide the pain and despair.
Xia Chujian felt very sorry for bringing him such news.
But she didn't want to give him false hope.
Xia Chujian hated this inexplicable place as much as he did.
She wanted to go home, and Qin Wanglan also wanted to go home.
The difference is that the home she wants to return to is still waiting for her somewhere in the universe.
But Qin Wanglan no longer has a home.
Qin Wanglan cried quietly before Xia Chu met.
But not long after, his shoulders stopped shaking and the faint sobbing sound disappeared.
Xia Chujian considerately handed him a tissue.
Qin Wanglan took it and wiped his face.
