Chapter 145: Adrian will not give up accepting the cheering hero's praise...
"The speed at which humans clean up the mutants is completely outmatched by the speed at which the mutants regenerate in the deeply contaminated areas.
Even into middle age, I still couldn’t chew this hard bone.”
"The power of the radicals and conservatives has ebbed and flowed, and they have debated countless times over whether to continue the process of retaking Leonis.
Humans have tried countless times and given up countless times due to losses.
But who wants to give up?
We have given up so much.
Life, safety, companions..."
"Fortunately, six years ago, the armies of the seven towers joined forces and finally conquered the most polluted area on the planet Leonis.
The title of the post-war report is finally no longer "Number of Attempts to Recapture the Planet," but "Battle of Leones."
It was also after this war that my legs stopped working.”
Principal Xing smiled and stroked a medal on his chest.
"This medal of honor is awarded to all the warriors who participated in the Battle of Leonis. It is my honor to receive it."
It seemed as if he was not at the podium, but chatting with the younger generation.
Fine lines appeared at the corners of his smiling eyes.
But the way he touched the medal was extremely solemn, and the light and hope in his eyes made all the students present quiet down.
The whispers before class disappeared and the atmosphere in the classroom became serious.
"It's only been six years since humanity's victory, but it feels like a long time."
The older you get, the more this happens. You will use the familiar people and things around you as time anchors.
As more and more old friends stay in the polluted area, the time spent with them will also remain in the darkness that is difficult to dispel.
But humans always have to move forward.
For civilians far from the deeply contaminated areas, the war is just a number in the news.
For Principal Xing, war means the records of failures that he has studied repeatedly since his student days, the deadlocks that he has reviewed countless times in command classes, and the fighting spirit or fear that he felt when he first stood on the battlefield as a teenager.
And, when I reached middle age, I finally witnessed the success of mankind with my own eyes.
Six years have passed since the victory, but the struggle and effort have already lasted for thousands of years.
“In this course, you will learn about more than a dozen of the most important battles since the pollution outbreak.
Some of them succeeded, and some failed.
But without exception, they have all provided extremely important lessons for mankind.”
"In the war, we lost countless comrades - but I hope you will remember this: the reason why mankind never gives up is because of hope.
Victory in the Battle of Leonis represents hope.
Therefore, the first war that this course will cover is the Battle of Leonis."
Principal Xing smiled again.
“Everyone has seen the people who played a vital role in this war.
But he declined the invitation to teach, so I will tell you about it.”

The following content is a video with a confidentiality level of S.
The video begins with bottomless darkness.
There was a searchlight in front of the camera, but the beam of light was swallowed up by the thick darkness before it could reach half a meter.
Not to mention identifying the direction, I can't even tell whether the lens is facing the sky or the ground.
The severity of pollution can be judged visually.
It is pitch dark. This is the most serious pollution that has ever occurred in human history.
Everyone knows that this is a deeply polluted area.
According to historical records, an S-level psychic who is in deep pollution can last up to ten days if he is not injured and continues to use his psychic power to resist.
Within ten days, you must come out no matter what and then be purified by a priest.
Ordinary people simply cannot survive in deep pollution.
If the pollution is moderate, the psychic can only last for thirty days at most.
Ordinary people will be completely eroded by pollution and die in a few hours or even a few days.
Mild pollution can almost coexist with humans, but it can still cause illness.
Ordinary people in this area need to undergo group purification rituals by priests on a regular basis.
Pollution is the very opposite of life.
In the face of pollution, human technology is vulnerable, and even navigation will fail.
If you are not careful, you will get lost in the polluted area.
But at this moment, a light spot appeared on the camera for the first time, dispelling the thick fog.
In the dark world, the point of light swayed up and down.
There was no visible reference point in the thick darkness, so it was unclear how far away the light spot was.
At first, the light was like a faint flame in the wind.
But every time the light spot moves to a certain position, it leaves behind a new light spot.
The old light spot does not stop and continues to move forward.
More and more, the dots connect into lines.
The light spots connected to form signposts, opening up a path forward in the darkness.
Slowly, the picture became brighter and brighter.
The black mist seemed to be gradually dissipated, and everyone could clearly see the outline of the figure looming in the darkness.
He wore goggles and tactical clothing, and was covered in weapons from head to toe. He also had a black backpack on his back.
Because of the fast movement, the hair was blown back, revealing the forehead.
The light does not come from lighting products made by human technology, but from the green branches in his hands.
What really confirmed his identity was the huge black wolf beside him.
It's Adrian.
There was no signal from the locator in the contaminated area, and no one knew whether he would face an abyss or plain ahead, but Adrian just rushed in.
In the dark world, a point of light jumped down.
As the environment grew brighter, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Because in the black fog ahead of Adrian, there was a sea of thousands of ferocious mutants, rushing towards him like an overwhelming force—
Everyone's heart was tense.
What about the back?
The camera didn't capture the back!
Everyone held their breath, fearing that the person in the camera had been surrounded by mutants.
Being surrounded in the contaminated area would be countless times more terrifying than the star beast tide in the joint military exercise, and it would be truly impossible to escape.
But the camera turns——
Behind Adrian, the bodies of the mutants fell like a mountain!
Countless teams, like sharp blades breaking through the waves, followed the path opened up by Adrian and rushed forward one after another!
In the team, countless offensive psychics escorted the priest who was connected to the roots of the World Tree and chanted prayers to dispel pollution all the way deeper.
Thousands of the highest-level mutants were attracted by him and gathered in front of Adrian. Adrian rushed in without hesitation and wiped out all obstacles!
There was no need to shoot behind Adrian because all the mutants behind him had been cleared away.
Adrian brought the pure branches of the World Tree to the most polluted area of Leonis, killing the highest-level mutants along the way.
His mission was like placing a buoy on a dark and turbulent sea.
At regular intervals, plant the branches and leaves of the World Tree on the ground.
With the new buds of the World Tree connecting with its half-dead roots, the World Tree itself can finally nourish the long-lost roots of Leonis again.
Like comforting a child who has been lost for many years, gentle vitality is radiated and rich power escapes.
The lost city-state of mankind is forged into a defense line by the new leaves of the world tree.
The overwhelming 3S-level mental power extended without restraint, like a violent meat grinder, chopping off all the mutants that intended to approach and damage the World Tree.
The path where the light spots converged became longer and longer, and more and more people came forward.
Adrian, holding a spear stained with mutant fragments, jumped to the high tower in the center of the city.
The black wolf stood beside him, howling towards the sky.
Then, he thrust his spear hard into the top of the tower. The spear penetrated more than one meter into the top of the tower, and the bricks and stones shattered and collapsed instantly.
The gun was stuck firmly on the top of the tower.
When the storm arose, it lifted the top of the spear - everyone then realized that it was not a spear, but the flag of the Seven Towers.
Against the backdrop of the dim sky, the flags of the seven towers fluttered as if they were about to be torn apart.
But the strong wind and pollution cannot shake it, it only makes the flag of the seven towers stand more arrogantly.
After a hundred years, the flags of the Seven Towers once again fly over the homeland of mankind.
This is only humanity's initial counterattack and also the most difficult step.
Since then, the priests have continued to dispel pollution in the light of the World Tree.
The warriors of the Seven Towers are responsible for protecting the new sprouts of the World Tree along the passage and not allowing any mutants to get even a step closer.
Adrian killed the last mutant, stepped on the pile of mutant corpses, lit up the fire in his hand, and threw it in different directions!
The intense heat and ash were swept into the air by the storm, creating an extremely heavy snowfall.
The raging flames burned away all obstacles, like a declaration of the end of the old world.
The old city has become a deserted one, with a new flag belonging to humanity flying over it.
......
The cheers were like a wave, spreading from the revelry crowd in the video to outside the video.
The lights in the classroom were turned off, but the projection was still going on, and the flickering light reflected on the excited young faces.
Amid the deafening cheers, Yun Fuyu seemed to sense something and looked towards the door.
The entrance is a square-shaped passage structure that is concave inward, so students in the back row cannot see the doorway.
But Yun Fu Yu was in the front row.
A broad-shouldered, long-legged silhouette stood in the darkness, leaning against the entrance with his arms folded.
The flickering firelight also illuminated the pair of green eyes, like two will-o'-the-wisp fires, exactly the same as in the battle record.
The hero who received the cheers turned a deaf ear to the praise and just stared at Yun Fuyu greedily, not knowing how long he had been looking at her.
Even though Yun Fuyu noticed him, he never looked away.
It was as if he wanted to let Yun Fuyu know that he was looking at him.
Shortly after the battle record began playing, Adrian was already watching Yun Fu Yu.
But in the first few minutes, Yun Fuyu was so engrossed in the course that he was unaware of the gaze coming from the door.
It was not until the gaze became increasingly intense and the black wolf could no longer resist sneaking out and running around Yun Fuyu for a few circles that Yun Fuyu realized that Adrian was standing at the door.
Finally found it.
Adrian's features were hidden in the darkness, he leaned against the wall with his arms folded, only his eyes were shining.
If it had a tail, it would probably be wagging happily.
Yun Fuyu looked at the ghost fire expressionlessly for a moment, then looked away and continued to look at the projection.
But Adrien couldn't look away.
Humanity's cheers may come from the heart.
But for Adrian, those cheers were not worth Yun Fuyu's extra glance at him.
When he pushed open the door of the dim classroom, he didn't even have to look for Yun Fuyu.
To him, Yun Fuyu was like a radar.
When Adrian walked in and raised his head, his first glance would naturally fall on Yun Fuyu.
That snow-white face was blessed with the ability to gather all the light.
Because Yun Fuyu is very conspicuous. Beautiful, strong, smart, hardworking,...
These adjectives seem important, but not that important.
Even without these things, Yun Fu Yu is still the best.
He attracted Adrian's attention more than anything else.
......
Just like that, Yun Fuyu continued to watch the projection, and Adrian looked at Yun Fuyu.
The classroom was very large and the projection was very high, so Yun Fuyu, who was sitting in the second row, had to try harder to look up.
The light illuminated Yun Fuyu's eyelashes, and the picture was reflected in her sparkling eyes.
He sat upright, his arms resting obediently on the table.
He looks very serious.
Adrien looked at the screen.
The video contains nothing but old combat content that has been going on for six or seven years.
But...was Yun Fuyu a little surprised when he saw the mutant tide being dealt with just now?
Adrian stared at Yun Fuyu's face and thought silently.
Watching so seriously.
Is it really that beautiful?
There was a secret and imperceptible joy that suddenly and silently took root in Adrian's heart.
Adrian had heard a lot of flattery, whether genuine or false, but he usually turned a deaf ear to it.
But Yun Fu Yu is different.
Why are Yun Fuyu's eyes so bright?
...The side profile is also very cute.
Yun Fuyu looked at the battle record intently. For him... there was no more attractive reward than this.
Adrien suddenly found some fun.
If Yun Fuyu likes to watch these things, then his trip will not be in vain.
......
In fact, during the days when Yun Fuyu went to the Sun Chaser Club, Adrian almost stayed awake and kept venting his emotions in the battlefield.
He had long lost his ease.
In the intervals between countless times when veins bulged and smashed the battlefield into ruins, Adrian stood alone in the rubble and dust, his hands covered in blood, with only one thing in his mind.
——He wanted to go to the Sun Chaser Club and take Yun Fuyu away.
But in the end, Adrian resisted the urge to go.
Because that was Yun Fuyu's choice.
He thought about it over and over again for several days, just like reviewing a failed battle.
Why did Yun Fuyu make this decision?
Is Chao's family better utilized?
Does Chaohui have what Yun Fuyu needs?
The caged beast was imprisoned on a piece of ground in the battlefield and remained there for several days.
But what really trapped him was not on the battlefield, but in the Sun Chasing Hall.
He came up with many ideas, but rejected each one.
......
In any case, this time, Adrian did lose to Zhaohui.
But just now, when he saw Yun Fuyu's serious expression as he looked up at the combat record, Adrian suddenly realized something.
——He is not without advantages.
Adrian is a 3S level, and has been a 3S level for ten years. Whether it is combat experience or command experience, he has more experience than Zhaohui.
In this respect, Zhaohui cannot compare with him.
Therefore, as long as Yun Fuyu wants to become stronger, he needs Adrian.
Adrian is useful to Yun Fu Yu.
......
Adrian looked at Yun Fuyu's profile quietly.
That's it.
Don't look at others, don't think about others, only have eyes for him.
Adrian wouldn't give up.
