Chapter 151: Choice 4412 and Elowin Mystick
When Bai Zhi walked into another patient's tent, he found that the owner of this tent was obviously more popular with the advance team members than Bai Zhi, a stranger. The tent, which was not too big, was a bit crowded.
Elowin, who was barely awake, was half leaning against the head of the bed, still wrapped in Bai Zhi's windbreaker, which was very large for a woman.
Several young ladies, sobbing continuously, gathered around Ellowin's bed and held her hands tightly, while the male team members who were not convenient to get close stood at a distance and looked very sad.
On the contrary, Elowin, who had suffered severe erosion and was dying, was very calm. She could even use a weak voice to intermittently persuade her friends not to feel sad for her.
As a member of the rebel army, No. 4412 had already predicted his own fate.
This ending is definitely much happier than dying meaninglessly in a conflict with the government military or other civilian armed forces.
No one would cry for No. 4412, a humble soldier in the rebel army. Even her teammates would only sigh and silently take away her numbered badge, as a token of camaraderie.
But now, as [Elowin Mystick], her friends and teammates would all remember her. She could even die surrounded by people. How could this not be considered happiness?
Living in this chaotic world, people often have no choice.
But she was finally blessed by the goddess of luck and had the opportunity to make a choice for herself.
Ellowin closed his eyes weakly, his gaze gentle and sad, yet also filled with an indescribable satisfaction.
But there is still a little regret and reluctance in my heart.
If only she was really just [Elowin Mystick].
An ordinary girl, a researcher, not very smart but with some effort, she can barely keep up with the other team members.
Just live a quiet and ordinary life, as ordinary as a grain of sand.
Perhaps one day, she will die in the empty exploration, and her name will occupy a few square centimeters of the monument.
Perhaps some people who are paying their respects would be willing to give a flower to a deceased stranger as a token of condolence.
If this is the ending of the life of an ordinary girl named [Elowin Mystick], what a happy thing it would be.
Too bad that girl never existed...it was just a mask for a rebel spy codenamed 4412.
"Don't cry... For me... No, it's not worth it." Elowin held his friend's hand, trying to force out a smile as usual, and comforted him: "When I made the decision... I knew... what my ending would be.
I have no regrets...I'm even happy.
Please let me leave as a member of the advance team. I don't want to become a corpse...
Please, forgive me for this last, willful request.
...Ah, and please help me return the clothes to the brave man who saved us all."
“It may be too early to give up now.
And it was you who actually saved these people, ma’am.”
Thanks to Bai Zhi's overly serious expression and the team doctor beside him, the advance team members surrounding Elowin consciously and proactively made way for the two people.
Bai Zhi walked to the bedside of the brave lady and took off his mask while she looked a little confused.
"...What kind of good person would wear another mask under the mask!?" Seeing Bai Zhi's inexplicable behavior, one of the team members couldn't help but complain in a low voice to the people around him.
"Excuse me, do you have any disinfectants? Please help me clean it." Bai Zhi handed his mask to the team doctor, then leaned over and, while tidying up Elowin's clothes, re-coated her with a layer of isolation data. While apologizing, he explained to the others, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but the materials of my clothes and mask are special. Wearing them properly can isolate most of the etheric energy.
I just have to ask Ms. Ellowin to use my equipment for the time being.
Please hold on a little longer, just for your friends.
It’s not easy to witness a hero’s death. Especially when that “hero” is a companion you’ve been with day and night.”
"Can a spy and traitor like me be considered a hero?" Elowin, wrapped in a large hood, didn't quite believe Bai Zhi's words. He just thought he was comforting himself.
After all, she had never heard of any protective material capable of blocking etheric energy, either in the rebel army or within the Wistar Institute, let alone a piece of clothing. It was more likely to be building materials or weapons.
"Don't underestimate yourself, ma'am." Bai Zhi watched the team doctor put the mask on Elowin's face. Only the data stream visible to him wrapped a thick layer around Elowin's body, completely blocking out the ether energy.
Although Bai Zhi's headache worsened and the stored energy was consumed at a rapid rate, Bai Zhi felt that these losses were worth it in order to save a life.
"I recalled the location of the armored mecha you piloted. I calculated that if I hadn't appeared, Yi Hai's route would have been changed.
Then, before the "High-Risk Skeleton" approaches the advance team, those mechas will intercept and blast it first.
So, it doesn’t matter whether I show up or not.
On the contrary, it is your heroic act, ma'am, that is the key to truly eliminating the danger.
I should also thank you, otherwise I might still be running away in embarrassment right now."
"Sir, you're so kind." Ellowine's voice grew even weaker and deeper as she wore the mask. She huddled in her coat, a large hood covering her face, like a gloomy mushroom. "I saw the brilliant gleam of your sword from a long way off.
Compared to a master like you who can fight against Yi Hai with his personal strength, I am just a despicable thief.
Those mechas... weren't originally meant for good."
"No matter what they were originally used for, Elowin, you disregarded your own safety and detonated the mecha at close range to free everyone. This is an indisputable fact.
Both of you are our heroes. So let's stop with the polite words for now.
You both need a good rest! Lie down quickly! "The team doctor looked at the test instrument and saw that Ellowin's condition was really under control and no longer rising. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She pressed Ellowin into the quilt with a little force and advised: "Don't think too much now.
Whether it's identity or mecha, let's talk about these things after I get better.
We will definitely find a way out as soon as possible and take you out of the void.
Elowin, you owe us all an explanation. I want to hear it from you in person after we get out.
But now you are still a member of our advance team, so you must obey orders.
Your job now is to rest well and hold on.
Don't be afraid, Elowin, we will be with you."
A tear rolled down the corner of his eye. Elowin looked at the team doctor's blurry face and couldn't help but want to believe what she said about the future.
Anyway, it has come to this, and I won’t feel lonely even if I leave in such a beautiful fantasy.
So why not try to believe it?
Elowin's consciousness slowly sank into darkness. The corners of his mouth curled up under the mask, and he closed his eyes with a smile and a hint of expectation.
Small Theater
Elowin: Even if I die now, it's worth it. (Lies down peacefully)
Bai Yu: You wish! You ate so much of my energy, and you still want to deny it!? Bento, spit it out!
(He punches her in the stomach.)
Elowin: Puff! (vomiting blood) (?_?).
