Bronya nodded slightly.
"Come to think of it, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I can't sleep, and isn't this waiting for you?"
Zhou Xingxing smiled.
"wait for me..."
Bronya was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Xingxing and smiled.
"Thank you, Xing. Since I can't sleep, can you walk around with me?"
"Okay."
The two walked on the quiet street and unknowingly walked out of Panyan Town.
Although it is called a town, it is actually not that big.
"In fact, I have doubted more than once whether Mother's orders are correct, but orders are orders, and soldiers should not over-speculate on orders. If every soldier has his own ideas, then this army will only be a mess and will not be able to protect Beloberg..."
Zhou Xingxing didn't say anything, just walked with Bronya, listening to Bronya talk about her troubles.
"About my mother, Cocolia, you said before that there was a truth about her. What is it?"
Walking all the way to the outskirts, Bronya suddenly asked.
"Bronya, do you understand the meaning of the Great Guardian?"
Zhou Xingxing asked back.
"Well, the purpose of being a Great Guardian is to protect the people, to protect this planet, and to bring order and hope to everyone."
Bronya nodded and said.
"So, what would you think if I told you that what you call hope is actually despair in the eyes of the Great Guardian?"
In Zhou Xingxing's opinion, Beloberg's despair actually only fell on the city builders, and even most of it fell on the great guardian alone. The general public actually always had hope.
So it’s normal that Bronya didn’t know before she became the Grand Guardian.
"Despair... How could it be..."
Bronya was stunned. This was the first time she heard such an argument.
"Before the cold wave came, Yalilo-IV had contact and even cooperation with various forces in the universe, but then the core of the star fell on the surface of the planet, and along with the core came the antimatter army, which also represented destruction. Under this doomsday theory, outsiders left the planet out of fear.
However, a small number of people chose to stay, and Alisa Rand was one of them."
"Alissa Rand...are you saying...the first Great Guardian is not actually a native of this planet?"
Bronya was surprised. This was the first time she heard such a thing.
"That's right. Before the cold wave came, Yalilo-IV had pleasant scenery and a suitable climate, making it a tourist destination that many people yearn for."
"The scenery is so beautiful... Has our world ever been so beautiful?"
Bronya's face was full of longing, but it was a pity that she could not see this scene.
"The antimatter army is endless, and the power of Yalilo-IV alone is simply not enough to resist it. However, Alisa Rand is a believer of the God of Preservation, Klipper. Even in such a desperate moment, she still wants to protect Beloberg, so she made her first wish to the star core."
"That is... a cold wave."
Bronya bit her lip. She knew all these things, but no matter how many times she heard them, the despair faced by the first generation Great Guardian was heartbreaking.
"The star core will respond to the world's desire to advance civilization, but the way to realize the wish is always some kind of disaster. Although the antimatter army was repelled, the cold wave did not stop, so Yalilo-IV ushered in an ice age with no end in sight."
"Well, although Beloberg will not be affected by the cold wave due to the power of preservation, the cold climate requires us to consume a lot of resources for heating, which is also the biggest problem we face."
Bronya nodded. The importance of the mineral marrow was so great that the people of Dihuo were so grateful to Xing.
"I've said before that the Star Core has consciousness. From the moment Alisa Rand made her wish, and since each generation of Great Guardians took office, the Star Core has been trying to seduce them all the time."
"So... my mother has also been bewitched by the star core?"
When Bronya heard this, her heart ached and she couldn't help but cover her chest.
"It has been nearly 700 years since Beloberg was built. Faced with endless cold waves and rift erosion, Beloberg's living space has been shrinking. No matter how hard the great guardians try, they cannot solve the hidden danger of the star core. And this result cannot be made public. They can only endure it themselves. Otherwise, before there is a solution, announcing the existence of the star core will only bring chaos. Therefore, the longer Beloberg exists, the more desperate the guardians will become."
"You should know best what Cocolia was like in the past."
Zhou Xingxing looked at Bronya and asked.
"Well, my mother once gently taught me that people are everything, and we should do our best to protect the people of Beloberg."
Bronya nodded heavily.
"Seeing the homeland that she swore to protect gradually disappear, Cocolia wavered. Compared with the illusory protection, the new world promised by the star core was so perfect, so she abandoned the protection and chose the star core.
The Star Core promised Cocolia a new world, but at the cost of erasing all traces of the old world and embracing destruction."
At this point, Bronya understood everything, and she finally understood why her mother gave those ridiculous orders.
Chapter 30 Meeting Xi'er
“In fact, we can’t blame Cocolia entirely. I’m afraid she was also very desperate at the time.
From the first generation of Great Guardians' wish of drinking poison to quench thirst, all the Great Guardians after that watched Beloberg being eroded and endured the whispers of the Star Core, even so, it took 700 years for something to go wrong. It must be said that their belief in preservation is really firm. "
Seeing Bronya silent, Zhou Xingxing comforted her.
What Zhou Xingxing didn’t say is that Cocolia is a good mother, and in fact she made this decision for Bronya.
According to Swarovski's calculations, the underground earth's marrow has been basically mined out. Even if the pioneering team has recently discovered a large mineral vein, it can only last for a few decades at most.
And in a few decades, Yarilo-IV will meet its true end.
As a mother, Cocolia could endure the fate of her people being swallowed by the rift and eroded by the cold wave, because she could deceive herself into thinking that she had done her best and everyone had done their best.
But she is a mother, and she cannot accept that her child will face the most desperate moment in Yalilo's 700 years when he takes over. The rift will expand and the cold wave will be unable to stop it. At that time, there will be only one way left for Bronya.
Like Cocolia, they chose the so-called new world in the star core and fought for the last survival in desperation.
At this time, Bronya will definitely become a sinner in the eyes of the people of Beloberg.
People will not know the cause and effect, they will only know that a cold wave is coming and survival is at risk. At this time, all the criticism will be directed at the great guardian who they see as incompetent and guilty.
Rather than saying that Cocolia was shaken by despair over a future under the dual attack of the rift and the cold wave, it would be more accurate to say that she was shaken by despair over the tragic ending that Bronya would face after taking over. After all, a great guardian can devote himself to the people without any distractions, but a mother will always care about her daughter the most.
"I never thought that my mother had to bear so much alone...but I knew nothing and could do nothing."
Bronya's eyes were moist. At this moment, she seemed to feel her mother's helplessness and despair.
"It doesn't matter, but we are here now. Believe me, the future of this planet must be bright."
Zhou Xingxing silently comforted Bronya. He didn't expect that this girl with a strong appearance also had such a soft side.
"Thank you...Xing..."
Bronya's tears rolled down her eyes, and she couldn't help but lean into Zhou Xingxing's arms.
Zhou Xingxing was stunned, raised his hands and hesitated for a while, but finally hugged her and gently patted the sobbing Bronya's back.
After a while, Bronya left Zhou Xingxing's arms.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Bronya returned to her previous strong and cold appearance.
"This is the first time I've cried since I was born, and it will be the last time. You can't tell anyone!"
Bronya stared at Zhou Xingxing and said.
"Okay, I swear, this is a secret between us."
Zhou Xingxing frowned and swore to the sky very seriously.
Seeing Zhou Xingxing being so serious, Bronya couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Bronya finally understood the worries that had been suppressed for a long time, and she felt relaxed all over.
"How about we go a little further, to the town where Sambo took us on the path before?"
Looking at Bronya who suddenly felt relaxed, Zhou Xingxing nodded.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
The two walked towards Rivet Town together. As soon as they entered the town, they saw the tallest building in the distance.
"In fact, ever since we came out of the path, I had a familiar feeling about this place..."
Bronya leaned on the fence and murmured as she looked at the orphanage in the distance.
"Why? Have you been here before?"
Zhou Xingxing asked in agreement.
Although he knew that Bronya was from an orphanage in the lower class area, it was impossible for him to say it so bluntly.
"Maybe. I don't know why, but my memory of the past is very vague. I can't remember anything from my childhood."
Bronya held her forehead and frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, I still had no clue.
"Then walk a little further, maybe you'll remember something."
"Ah."
Continuing forward, some creatures from the Rift Valley began to wander on the road, and there were also some remains of them on the side.
"Huh? Someone has been here, and not long ago."
Bronya was very familiar with the creatures from the Rift Valley and could tell at a glance that there had been a battle here.
"We don't know who it is though... let's go after them and see if they can help us."
Bronya drew her weapon as she spoke, and with one shot she killed a wandering little flying insect from the world.
The two continued to move forward, and more and more corpses were seen.
And the sound of fighting was heard from the front.
"Hey, that's... Why is Xi'er here?"
Bronya widened her eyes. They had just finished talking with Oleg and said goodbye and good night to each other and went back to sleep.
"It's the flame of the outer universe. Everyone, let's go and help."
Seeing Xier struggling with the flames from the outer universe, Zhou Xingxing also pulled out his baseball bat.
