Chapter 324 They lived a fulfilling life
The return flight proceeded as scheduled.
The day has finally come.
Liu Chang took one last look at Green Star as he boarded the deck of the Navigator.
He deeply loves this land and has long regarded it as his second home. Over the years, he has even become somewhat unable to distinguish whether his life on Earth or this one is his true life.
"Luo Congmin said she could help us solve all our problems and told us not to worry." Shi Qiang said, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, as he helped Principal Liu carry his luggage.
He had no luggage, brought nothing from Earth, and planned to take nothing with him.
"I came here with you with the determination to die."
Shi Qiang threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
"But God has been unfair to me. I'm still alive. Do you know what that means?"
Shi Qiang looked at Liu Chang with a complicated expression, and after a long while, he exhaled a smoke ring.
"This means there are still people who need me, and I'm not going to die yet. This is not a good thing."
Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"You're quite something. People say it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, but you're probably just hoping to die soon? What, you're not used to being in danger these past few years?"
Shi Qiang shook his head.
"No, Lao Liu, have you ever heard the saying, 'Third-class merit is received standing up, second-class merit is received in a wheelchair, and first-class merit is received by the family?' I've been around since the Three-Body Problem first appeared, and to put it bluntly, I'm just a worthless life. Looking at the Earth, if I, a small policeman, were to throw a brick at you, you could probably kill three of them. In terms of rank, even that dog at the gate is a damn beast."
"But look at me now, I'm fighting aliens, and I've escaped to this planet with green plants that look like shit, to do some kind of civilization research with you. This was something I never even dared to dream of before."
"But after all that, I'm still fucking alive. Something's not right about that. It means I'm definitely going to die a glorious death someday!"
"But throughout history, those who die a glorious death have often met a tragic end. Old Liu, we've known each other for so many years, I think..."
"If one day I really die, could you plant my ashes into a tree?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chang remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"If you die, I'll use your ashes to grow tobacco, so I can smoke you every day!"
……
Have you figured out how to explain this to them when you go back?
Dongfang Yanxu looked at Zhang Beihai. Compared to their first meeting, the two were now quite different.
They now both have a wedding ring on their index finger.
Zhang Beihai lied. When he first met Dongfang Yanxu, he said that he saw the reflection of his daughter in the other man's glasses.
But his eyes betrayed him, so at that moment, Dongfang Yanxu asked Zhang Beihai about the whereabouts of his wife and children.
"Lin Xuan took very good care of them for me."
When he said this, Zhang Beihai actually felt a little guilty.
He entrusted his family to Lin Xuan, a Wallfacer he had only met a few times.
Although it later proved to be an absolutely correct choice, he still missed out on his right to be a father and husband.
“I have completely erased your file from the Earth Alliance, including your descendants, who have also changed their names. You will never have the chance to cross paths with them again. From now on, you will be strangers.”
This is a conversation between Luo Congmin and Zhang Beihai.
This can be considered his final release.
He sacrificed a lot for humanity, and of course, he wasn't the only one.
"They lived a fulfilling life on Earth."
Luo Congmin seemed to know what Zhang Beihai wanted to ask, and only answered with this one sentence.
But this one sentence is enough.
Finally, he mustered his courage and pulled the control stick of the Navigator.
"We should go home."
