Chapter 42



Gong Du stayed in the medical cabin for three full days before he finally survived.

Elansno's body is not really a machine, and killing the king bug is certainly not an easy task. He is almost suffering from PTSD about bugs.

Of course, the body is secondary, the main thing is the loss of the spiritual realm.

Perhaps it was a punishment for his desire to avoid the Silver Crow and to advance the plot early in order to save lives, his mental realm was almost destroyed after he returned from the chaotic magnetic zone.

How useless it is? In the words of the little light ball, it's like a sieve covered with thorns. The reason why I didn't go crazy due to the pain is that it blocks the pain.

Gong Du himself didn't feel anything, but he felt that there were too many doctors appearing in front of him from time to time. Aljean even transferred Kane over to take care of him. Such a grand treatment made him feel a little flattered.

Little Light Group: "Don't you know what you did?"

Gong Du sighed: "This is not the ending a villain should have."

The Overlord is dead, and the time for the final cleanup campaign has not yet been set. Everyone is waiting for news from Elansno.

In the infirmary, Jin Daiqi frowned, not knowing where to start as she looked at Elansno's test report.

"Brother, should we tell him that he may never be able to use his mental power again?"

Arge was silent: "...Don't tell him for now, let him recover." Elansno is such a proud person, will he allow himself to become a half-useless person in the future?

"It's not just mental strength, but also the flexibility of the limbs and fingers."

Jin Daiqiao turned the page: "I don't know what he went through down there. His body is like a machine that is about to be scrapped..."

A light cough was heard, and Jin Daiqi's voice suddenly stopped.

A man stood at the door. Elansno's face was pale, but his purple eyes were full of smiles. He was wearing a military uniform and knocked on the door very lightly: "Why not just tell me directly?"

Ten minutes later.

Jin Daiqiao poured him a cup of warm water, but then she remembered that he couldn't even drink that kind of stuff now, so she had to take it back, not knowing how to start.

It was Elansno who took the initiative to speak. He took out a glass bottle from his space button. There was a worm in the bottle. The worm was twisting its body and was dying.

Jin Daixi exclaimed: "What is this?!"

Elansno smiled: "Roche."

No living thing can be stored in the space button, but apparently the brain worm does not seem to be subject to this restriction.

"I won't let Roche go easily. I tortured it for a long time under the chaotic magnetic zone," Elansno said, lightly describing the torture. "I didn't expect it to be alive. It obviously has a high research value, doesn't it?"

"I think it would be a good choice for him to spend the rest of his life in the laboratory."

Jin Daiqi took a deep breath and looked at Luo Shi again with an extremely cold gaze: "Of course."

She put the bug away, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother wants you to return to the capital as soon as possible. You will be better taken care of there."

She didn't know why, but she always felt that after killing the king insect and taking revenge on Roche, something was different about Elansno.

That gloomy, deep and depressing feeling disappeared without a trace.

It became so light that it seemed as if no one could catch it.

Elan Snow: "I will return after the last clearing campaign is over."

Jin Daiqi: "You are not fit to go to the battlefield now!"

"Why?" Elan Snow smiled and pointed to the test report on the table. "Because I'm useless?"

Jin Daixi was silent. She subconsciously denied: "No..."

She could but stopped because she couldn't find any other reasons. No matter what the reason was, the root cause seemed to be that 'Ellansno was dead' and therefore she couldn't go to the battlefield.

She really didn't want to associate these six words with the pale person in front of her, but this was the fact.

"Don't think of me as weak. I have been on the battlefield since I was fourteen. I have killed countless people and participated in countless battles."

Ellan Snow calmly narrated: "As long as I am not dead, no matter how badly injured I am, I will put on my military uniform and on the battlefield, I will be the invincible Admiral Ellan Snow."

Jin Daixi's pupils trembled slightly.

The small number of people on StarNet who defend Elansno like crazy does not seem unreasonable. This man's personal charm is always a deadly poison that makes people willing to follow him.

Elansno: "There is only one battle left in the Zerg battle. I will go back with you guys after I participate in it. You have never heard me lie, have you?"

Jin Dai frowned, still hesitating.

Ellen Snow: "I don't play in person, I just command."

"...Okay," Jin Daiqi nodded, as she had indeed never heard him lie, "I will return to the imperial capital as soon as the war is over."

She had to report to Algee and left early.

After a long moment, Ellan Snow smiled silently.

"Brother, you students are so easy to deceive."

——

The final battle was named the Battle of Dawn.

The remaining insects in the south of the imperial capital were driven away and exterminated, and the few that remained all fled to the vicinity of the chaotic magnetic zone. However, they no longer sensed the presence of the king insect.

Countless large screens in the imperial capital were broadcasting the current situation in the Northwest Star Region.

Preparations for the triumphal ceremony have begun. This ceremony will last for ten days. Countless people are rushing to the imperial capital at the same time, ready to welcome the warriors who are returning home in triumph, whether they are asleep or still alive.

One after another, the ashes of the dead warriors in the south and northwest star regions of the imperial capital have arrived at the imperial capital.

Thousands of warships carrying ashes were parked silently, and both the living and the dead were looking forward to this battle that was destined to be won.

Northwest star region.

When Ellan Snow appeared, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

[I'll just say he's fine.]

[After today, no one will ask to judge him. No matter how stupid you are, you will not die at this time. If you survive, you will live a life of wealth and glory.]

[This is just a cleanup, there is no need for him to take any action.]

[I heard that the warships returning to the Northwest Star Region are ready?]

[Hahahaha, it will be a great honor to go back.]

Countless shells flew into the chaotic magnetic area, and all the hidden Zerg were blown out. The soldiers rushed forward in a blood-thirsty frenzy, not even sparing a single Zerg egg.

After an entire afternoon and half a night, the chaotic magnetic area was razed to the ground.

But no one saw the extremely familiar golden light and the figure that was always rushing in front.

People didn't react until no more insect eggs could be detected in the entire chaotic magnetic area.

Where is Ellen Snow?

Where is Ellen Snow?

Why didn't he rush to the front today?

Why didn’t I see that spiritual power as bright as the morning light again?

The crow that flew from the Arctic star region happily flew closer and closer, carrying the gem.

——

Elansno took off his mask and headed south in a very small flying ship.

I heard that if you are lucky, you can see the magnificent aurora in the direction of the southern region.

The Northwest Star Region is very close to the South Region. There are no gems there like the Arctic Star Region, and it is not as cold as the Northwest Star Region. However, it is also an ice field, and a flying ship only needs most of the day to pass through it.

He participated in the last battle, but only showed up once before leaving the Northwest Star Region. Yes, this was the first time that he, a general who had fought for fourteen years, became a "deserter."

But he felt extremely relaxed and happy.

I don't want to care about anything.

Only today, he didn't want to be Elansno anymore, he just wanted to be Lanno who didn't think about anything.

Lan Nuo died fourteen years ago. What does he know about a battlefield and life and death?

During those simple ten years, the thing he did most and most seriously was to "remember" and then find his brother.

The live broadcast device tied to him could barely follow him at first, but then it got farther and farther away and the screen went black, but it still kept following him.

There had been no news from Elansno for a long time, and Alger was becoming increasingly uneasy.

Jin Daiqian had already destroyed Elansno's computer, but it still didn't connect. What a liar! He said he would go back to the capital with her after the battle!

"We have sent people out to look for it. The live broadcast device is tracking it, but the signal is very unstable. We can only roughly determine that it is in the south."

Shou Bing glanced at the message sent back and said, "Commander-in-chief, don't worry. Arrange the soldiers who have already arrived in the imperial capital. Will the triumphal ceremony still proceed as scheduled?"

Arge frowned: "Let's talk about it later."

Some people disagreed: "Does it mean that we should postpone the originally scheduled date just because he is alone?"

Lian Yao said sarcastically: "If you kill the king bug, let alone the triumphal ceremony, I can even carve your name on my body."

"Okay, stop arguing."

The triumphal ceremony was to celebrate the victory and also to let the soldiers who died on the battlefield rest in peace. Most of them did not have corpses, so their families had to send some old items over.

There is a fixed number of soldiers who will be buried every day over a ten-day period, and the families of the martyrs cannot be left waiting in vain.

Arge made a decision: "The ceremony will proceed on time, and more people will be sent to look for Elan Snow."

——

Elan Snow disembarked from the flying ship.

The icy cold instantly enveloped him. He was only wearing a thin military uniform. The moment he landed on the ground, he coughed up blood.

My body can't stand the torture anymore...

With a forced effort, he took out his computer and switched to the recording mode. After thinking about it, Elansno decided that he should formally say goodbye to his brother's students.

The video mode was turned on, and his appearance appeared clearly on the computer.

Elan Snow smiled and said, "Hello, I'm leaving now."

"I'm sorry for having you take care of me for so long. I know you hate me and want to avenge your brother. It's okay. I can do it myself."

"I'm really tired. I didn't know I would be so tired one day. I walked here and it seems I can't walk anymore," Elansno glanced at the flat ice field around him.

It was late at night, the sky was twinkling with stars, but the aurora had not yet appeared.

His eyes dimmed, "I want to say one more thing..."

Elansno decided to wait a little longer. He took off the silver-gray ball he had been wearing and said, "I don't want to give you my brother's ashes anymore."

"He has been so good to you for five years, a time that makes me jealous. You have received so much care and love from him. This is all I have, and I don't want to leave any of it for you."

Ellan Snow paused and said like a little kid, "You can scold me as much as you want, but I won't give it to you."

He didn't know how he looked now. In fact, he looked as pitiful as a beggar. He tightly grasped his few remaining treasures, fearing that they would be robbed.

He continued speaking for a long time, and suddenly the sky was covered by a hazy and magnificent aurora, which sprinkled on the ice field like a light cloud. However, in the center of the aurora, there was a mad storm that could tear a person apart.

Elansno was slightly startled, turned his head, and pure joy flashed in his eyes.

He said to the computer: "I should go now."

Elansno left a small stone. He did not take the seed away, but left it next to the computer.

So, he finally walked towards the Aurora with his brother's ashes, relaxed and free of worries.

An ant-sized live broadcast device stumbled towards us from a very far distance, making an unstable buzzing sound. It gradually flew closer, sensed the person it was tied to, and faithfully continued the live broadcast.

A desolate snowfield appeared on countless large screens in the imperial capital.

A world that is clean, white, pure and crystal clear.

Everyone stopped to watch. They saw a very familiar figure in the snowfield and the aurora.

"Elan Snow?"

"Why is it him?"

"Where is he?"

"He's not wearing a mask... Elan Snow, he actually looks like this, so young."

"Looks familiar."

There are so many questions, but no one can answer them.

Alge lost his balance, knocked over the cup beside him, and stood up suddenly, "How could it be..."

He suddenly remembered something his teacher had mentioned casually.

The teacher said that he and his brother Arnold had once agreed to go see the aurora together, but later Arnold died in a fire, so he went to see the aurora alone without Arnold.

The young man walking on the snowfield had a smile on his lips and was singing a song softly.

The live broadcaster was close enough to make out what he was singing. It was the same low hum that had been playing throughout the official triumphal ceremony.

The tune is very slow, hymn-like, light and low.

[Twinkle, twinkle little star, lighting up the world]

Elan Snow narrowed his eyes, wondering if his brother would be angry if he went to see him like this. However, he specially changed into a new set of clothes without blood stains, and just cleaned them up. His brother would not find out.

Even if he finds out, at most he will just be playing tricks. Anyway, his brother won't be mad at him forever.

[The morning light is bright in the blood, I look up and see the sea of ​​stars...]

I had made many promises with my brother, but it seemed that none of them had the chance to be fulfilled. Listening to Alge and the others talking about what happened later, I wondered if everything would have ended differently if he had not set fire to the Temple of Mercy.

Those who were watching the big screen in silence felt their eyes sore for some reason, and they felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in their hearts.

Some people realize that they seem to be witnessing the purest, most romantic, and most grand self-funeral.

Deep inside the aurora is a storm that will shred all living things into particles.

I don’t know who started it first, but many people looked at the big screen and sang along softly.

[The wind is chasing, the clouds are chasing]

[Who are you missing]

Elansno was a little dazed, and recalled the conversation he had with his brother at the wall of the City of Dawn when he first remembered his brother.

[“Today, those who died at the hands of the Federation are the protagonists. I am not, and neither are you.”

"...Such a familiar tune."

"It's a nursery rhyme that every child has heard. My brother... once learned it and sang it to me."

"I still remember."

It was because he was too timid at the time and spoke too softly that his brother didn’t hear him. Otherwise, his brother would have recognized him.

...But, it's hard to say.

After all, my brother is a fool.

But, he came to find his brother singing, even the dumbest person would recognize him.

Elansno smiled, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye. The few seconds when he fell into the air were completely frozen, and he hit the ground and shattered instantly.

[The night is magnificent under the aurora, and the free souls return]

[Go home, go home]

[Remember the road?]

Countless souls who died in battle found their way home in the humming music.

The confused child finally returned home.

The pure and clean snowfield can tolerate all sins and struggles. Here, all children can have a beautiful fairy-tale dream without pain or separation, filled with the fragrance of desserts and laughter.

Lan Nuo smiled gently and held his brother's ashes as if he was holding his brother's hand.

He finally walked into the aurora.

He sleeps peacefully in the storm deep in the aurora.
