Volume 1 Chapter 66: Is it worth it?

  The military district of Wolf's Tooth Mountain was not small, and the training grounds for students only occupied a very small part of it.

  Huang Yonger walked with Lin Yu for a few steps, and several people had already arrived in front of a newly completed office building. At this time, although the office building was built, there were no office supplies. The two people, one after the other, didn't take long to arrive at a room.

  This room is like a conference room, and outside the conference room there are eight warriors. Each of these eight warriors has a robust physique, piercing eyes that shine like electricity, and slightly raised temples, each one being an elite warrior.

  However, such warriors are not much of a threat in Lin Yu's eyes. At most, their strength is only at the level of Ming Jin, and in Lin Yu's eyes, they are nothing but mediocre fighters.

  Not paying attention to the eight people's gaze that was as sharp as a sword, Lin Yu directly walked into this conference room.

  In the conference room, there was an old man in the daytime. At this time, the old man had changed into a clean Zhongshan suit. This person was Huang Yonger's grandfather, Huang Zhongshan. Zheng Qiang was also by Huang Zhongshan's side at this time. When he saw Lin Yu walk in, Zheng Qiang couldn't help but feel slightly excited in his heart.

  Although it has been six years, he still remembers Lin Yu's strongest warrior under his command.

  Huang Zhongshan, although not as excited as Zheng Qiang, also had a faint glimmer in his eyes, showing interest as he swept a glance over Lin Yu's face, then pointed to the chair beside him and smiled: "Colonel Lin, please take a seat!"

  As he spoke, he casually poured Lin Yu a cup of tea and smiled: "Try it, West Lake Longjing!"

  "I'm no longer a superior officer!" Lin Yu also sat down in the chair without hesitation, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, looking at Huang Zhongshan with a smile: "What do you want me to do?"

  "I'm sorry, Colonel Lin, I forgot to tell you that your military status has been retained all along. You are still a colonel of the country!" Huang Zhongshan smiled slightly and looked at Lin Yu, who slowly opened his mouth and said: "You came, I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to return to the military?"

  "I don't want to!"

  Lin Yu's response directly made Huang Zhongshan choke for a moment, this guy's refusal was really too straightforward. For a while, Huang Zhongshan didn't know what to say either, he just looked at Lin Yu like that, the latter's face remained very calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.

  Zheng Qiang coughed and looked at Lin Yu, slowly opening his mouth to say: "Lin Yu! Why don't you think it over carefully? I know that back then you received some unfair treatment, but the military didn't completely revoke your military status. Actually, we've always hoped that you could come back!"

  "I'm tired!" Lin Yu let out a sigh and slowly spoke, "Sorry, I'm not the naive young recruit who just joined the army back then. I've had enough of this life of constant fighting and killing. Can't we just have a peaceful and stable life? Why do you always tell me to serve the country? What's the point of serving the country anyway?"

  "Why?" Huang Zhongshan's mind stirred and he stared at Lin Yu: "Is it because you suffered some unfair treatment back then?"

  Lin Yu played with the teacup in his hand, then let out a soft sigh and slowly spoke: "To be honest with you! After I annihilated the Hell Mercenary Corps at first, I had the idea of joining the military, but later some things happened that made me give up such thoughts!"

  "Why should we dispel such an idea!" Huang Zhongshan stared at Lin Yu and asked.

  "Why?" Lin Yu smiled and looked at Huang Zhongshan, "Since you've investigated that I still have a colonel's identity, then, I think my past is also known to you. You're not unfamiliar with the Sky Eagle Squad, are you?!"

  Huang Zhongshan nodded and said, "I know that this was a special warfare squad you once commanded. The last time, it was because you led this special warfare squad into an ambush by the Hell Mercenary Corps, and except for you, the entire squad was annihilated!"

  Lin Yu then smiled and slowly opened his mouth: "You also know, I once failed a mission after being framed for treason and betraying the country. A series of so-called evidence emerged, directly wanting to get me killed. I knew that this matter had something to do with my family. At that time, it was during the transition period, and the Lin family was also in turmoil. I became their target!"

  Huang Zhongshan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to guess everything behind his back. After all, he was a member of the Lin family, although an illegitimate child, and had some political awareness. Lin Yu led the Cangying Special Warfare Squad to achieve second place in the national special forces competition, which added a lot of political capital to the Lin family. However, Lin Yu's failure in his mission gave their political enemies an excuse to attack.

  Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth: "Actually, for me, none of this matters. At that time, I didn't notice anything. What I yearned for was to avenge my brothers. The unfair treatment is nothing. So, when the higher-ups let me go, the first thing I did was to make the entire Hell Mercenary Corps disappear from this world!"

  Lin Yu's calm description, however, was emitting a chilling murderous intent. The few people present simultaneously felt a bone-piercing chill. This guy, what a strong killing aura.

  Looking at Huang Zhongshan, Lin Yu continued to laugh: "Let the Hell Mercenary Corps evaporate from the world. I once wanted to return to the military, but before coming back, I went to see the families of the Cangying Squad members!"

  Lin Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Huang Zhongshan, smiling: "Guess what I saw?"

  "What?" Huang Zhongshan asked subconsciously.

  Their family life is not very good, they lost their father, lost the pillar of the house, do you think their life should be happy? Zidan was the youngest member of the Hawks Special Forces, he died at 22 years old, he didn't have a mother, only a mother. When I saw his mother, you know how shocked I was? An old mother with completely white hair, living in a rented house less than 40 square meters, her body is suffering from serious illness, can only rely on scavenging to make a living... And Chen Guang, one of the Hawks Special Forces who took care of me, he has a wife and an adorable daughter. When I found them, their house was forcibly demolished because of a dispute, his wife was beaten into the hospital, and his daughter couldn't even go to school...

  Lin Yu slowly recounted, the Eagle Squad, including Lin Yu, had a total of nine members. Eight people. Lin Yu clearly stated their code names, ages, and family backgrounds. Every time he mentioned one, Huang Zhongshan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Looking at Huang Zhongshan, Lin Yu slowly opened his mouth and said: "I know, they were implicated by me. If it weren't for me, they would probably have died in battle and been given the title of martyr. Their families probably wouldn't have suffered such a disaster either!"

  Here is the translation:

  "Lin Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, then continued: 'I once went to my family, hoping to get some help from them. But I knew that in that struggle, my family was severely injured and my request was rejected. My family won't be able to help me out!'"

  Lin Yu looked up at Huang Zhongshan and spoke slowly: "Tell me, is everything they've done worth it? They sacrificed their heads and shed hot blood for this country. Every single one of them gave their lives to this country, but their families have to suffer from all kinds of unfair treatment. And this is just a phrase in the mouths of some big shots!"

  Huang Zhongshan swallowed hard, Zheng Qiang was also stunned, wanting to refute but couldn't say a word, only feeling like something was stuck in his chest, unbearably uncomfortable.

  Lin Yu slowly opened his mouth and said: "I was abroad, taking the same risks, but I could get rich rewards, money, beautiful women, all kinds of unimaginable power. As long as you are strong enough, as long as you dare to take risks, the benefits I got were ten times, a hundred times what the country gave me. If I took my brothers abroad with me, we would have lived better lives. But now... they're all dead, their families suffered unfair treatment, and no one paid attention. Even you, Huang Zhongshan, did you just investigate my background? Did you also investigate the families of those brothers of mine?"

  Listening to Lin Yu's words, Huang Zhongshan couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

  "So at that time I was always thinking, is it worth it? Sacrificing everything of myself, including my own life, for all this, is it worth it?"

  Is it worth it?

  (This is the second update, I feel it's necessary to write this chapter. After writing two books, I always felt that the main character was a cookie-cutter type, but Lin Yu is different, he has his own pride and values in life. I'm trying hard to create a flesh-and-blood protagonist. This chapter, after much hesitation, I still wrote it, taking the risk of being harmonized. There are two more updates today, everyone can wait a bit!)
