Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

"Father!"

Wade was startled, and in panic, he quickly grabbed the chains on the bridge with his own hands. The cold metal touch instantly cut his hands several times.

But he didn't dare let go, because he was no longer walking on the bridge, but was half-hanging in the air holding the chain.

As long as he loosened his grip a little, he would fall directly from the air.

"Now, you can only keep moving forward. You have no way back. Climb up!"

My father's tone was emotionless, as if he had anticipated the current outcome.

Upon hearing this, Wade looked at the ground more than ten meters high beneath his feet, then looked at his bloody hands, and suddenly a look of tenacity burst out in his eyes!

"Go forward, move forward!"

This was the only voice left in his mind. He never looked back at the abyss behind him, but instead pulled his body forward little by little!

When Wade climbed up from the broken bridge, his mother was already waiting there. Seeing that her son had arrived safely, she hurried forward to help Wade treat his wounds.

Although she loved her children, the mother never opposed her husband's way of educating the children.

Having experienced the baptism of war, both husband and wife knew that only those who had experienced the torture of hell could survive the war.

"You did well, soldier!"

At this time, the father had also walked up and was not stingy with his praise for the child.

Every time Vader completed a training session, his father would praise his achievements and address himself as a superior and a soldier.

……

Father's training of Vader was not limited to physical training. Father hoped that Vader could become a commander rather than a soldier who could only be used as a pawn by politicians on the battlefield.

Therefore, in addition to regular physical training, Thomas Wade's elite education has never been interrupted.

While children of the same age were still enjoying their childhood, Thomas Wade's childhood was almost occupied by all kinds of books.

Intelligence, reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, military strategic command, material engineering and weapon structure design...

The knowledge involved covers almost all aspects.

Even aristocratic etiquette was included in Thomas Wade's required courses.

Because his father said that maybe one day, Wade would sneak into the home of a wealthy man as a spy and carry out a decapitation operation on important enemy officials, so learning these basic etiquettes is essential.

So Wade studied very hard, which even surprised his teachers.

After all, not many students will study aristocratic etiquette seriously. In this era that is about to enter the new century, only some old European countries still have some down-and-out aristocrats using these etiquettes. For the United States, which is about to become the world hegemon, learning these things is not as important as imagined.

But when the teacher learned that Thomas Wade was learning these things for the purpose of assassination and infiltration, he taught him extra seriously and taught Thomas Wade almost everything he had learned in his life.

Wade's family background was very good. His father made great contributions in World War II, which made their family belong to the upper-middle class in the whole country.

Therefore, going to college is relatively easy for the rich, and Wade successfully received his college admission letter in his teens.

As a child who had been instilled with an almost devilish elite education by his father, Wade's performance in all subjects was ridiculously strong.

The reason why the powerful and wealthy class can ensure that their families will last for hundreds of years, in addition to the original means of wealth accumulation, is that they attach more importance to the education of their children than ordinary families.

They know exactly what their children should learn, and can use the least amount of time to help their children acquire capital far beyond their peers.

After completing his university studies, Wade had some ideas of his own, which diverged somewhat from his father's original plan.

He planned to start his own company. At that time, aerospace technology was booming and many Internet giants were also emerging.

So Wade wanted to enter the aerospace field and open a technology company called "Star Ring Group", focusing on artificial satellites and aerospace fields, and building a huge intelligence empire.

If he had really succeeded, perhaps Musk would not be around now.

But an accident happened and his mother died of illness, which forced Wade to respect his father's wishes and continue to study military and intelligence.

In fact, Wade never understood why his father was so eager for him to climb up and gain a higher position in the army when the war had ended for many years and peaceful development was the main theme of the future world.

But it was not until a few years later that he truly understood his father's thoughts.

My father also died. This soldier who fought for his country all his life eventually died in that war and became a pawn abandoned at will by politicians.

Before his death, his father left only one sentence for Wade.

"War has never been far away from us. Threats may come at any time. Before the unknown future comes, you have no choice but to use up all your strength and keep moving forward, forward, and forward by any means necessary!"

At that moment, Thomas Wade felt a deep-seated fear and despair.

The world that was once peaceful in his eyes is now a sea of ​​blood and corpses!

The fear of the future was like a leech on his tarsal bones, constantly pushing Wade to move forward.

Invisibly, the pistol that was aimed at him in his childhood reappeared behind him, like the scythe of the god of death, waiting to reap his life at any time.

"Go forward, there's no way back for you, Vader!"

Later, as his father wished, he successfully joined the army and participated in the country's foreign wars.

It was also from that time that he completely abandoned his original self and became a devil like his father.

During the war, he repeatedly disregarded the lives of civilians and ordered his troops to launch indiscriminate attacks, resulting in the massacre of a large number of civilians. He also repeatedly violated the Geneva Convention and carried out humanitarian clearance of prisoners.

Even some of his colleagues were a little dissatisfied with his behavior and thought that Thomas Wade was a madman comparable to an art student.

But for the top leaders, they like such lunatics. Only such people can be driven by the politicians' ambitions.

The top leaders even gave this madman the nicknames "Weapon of War" and "Death God on Earth".

But this did not make Wade feel at ease at all. He could only rely on large amounts of alcohol and cigars to numb his brain so that he could fall asleep peacefully.

Later, the war was lost and the troops led by Vader were almost wiped out, but in desperation, Vader burst out with command abilities far beyond that of ordinary people and led the remaining troops to successfully escape danger.

This dangerous experience was forever engraved in his heart.

From then on, he firmly believed that his father's theory was absolutely correct and that people can only realize their full potential when they are in the most desperate situation.

He began to increase the intensity of the training of his soldiers, and even a large number of soldiers were killed or injured in the training.

He enjoyed seeing others showing that kind of despair, because in Wade's opinion, the potential that people would unleash after despair would be quite astonishing!

Although the troops trained by Wade were extremely brave on the battlefield, this still could not change the overall failure of the war. In the end, Thomas Wade was sent to a military court for his various atrocities in the war, but under the strong protection of the military top brass, he still survived and retreated to the second line to work in the intelligence department.

It was not until 2007, when the Crisis Era broke out, that Thomas Wade was re-recruited into the PDC and became the director of the intelligence department PIA.

In this desperate world, only this ever-advancing demon can charge forward with his sword without hesitation, betting his own life and the lives of all mankind, and put his life on the table to play against the Trisolarans.

And at this moment, he is the sword-wielder who is feared by both worlds—Thomas Wade.

Chapter 197: Little girl, are you being cheated again?

Waking up from a nightmare, Thomas Wade's expression remained calm.

This was not the first time he had a nightmare. Ever since his father showed him the real world, Thomas Wade had been living in fear, unable to extricate himself.

"Meow meow meow."

The sound of cats' meowing broke Wade's meditation. Looking up, he saw a chubby orange cat lying in the distance, taking a lazily nap.

Wade placed all the garrison troops on the ground, and only left this cat in the deterrence center to keep him company.

He doesn't need human companionship like Luo Ji, so this is why Zhang Xiang was able to extricate himself from the position of nanny.

When Luo Ji was the sword bearer, Zhang Xiang had to come down and chat with Luo Ji almost every day to ensure that the other party's language function would not degenerate due to not communicating with the outside world for too long.

At this moment, a screen suddenly popped up on the blank wall nearby, revealing the face of the commander-in-chief of the ground garrison forces.

"Mr. Wade, Ms. Cheng Xin wants to see you."

"Let her in."

Wade was not surprised by Cheng Xin's visit.

Cheng Xin was once his subordinate. If there is anyone in this world who knows him best, it must be Cheng Xin.

About half an hour later, the elevator door of the Deterrence Center slowly opened, and Cheng Xin, wearing a beige windbreaker, appeared in Wade's sight.

"I didn't expect someone like you would be interested in raising cats."

Cheng Xin glanced at the orange cat on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

In her memory, Wade was a cold-blooded and rational person. It was really hard for her to associate such a personality with a cat lover.

"My mother had a cat like this before, but she passed away and I don't know where the cat went. I was bored here alone, so I just kept one."

There was still no expression on Wade's face. He poured a cup of tea for Cheng Xin and handed it to her.

"Thank you, I'd just drink some plain water."

Cheng Xin rejected Wade's kindness. She didn't dare to drink what he gave her. She didn't know for sure that this guy might poison it or something.

Upon hearing this, Wade was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.

"So this is what he meant back then."

"what?"

"Nothing, just remembered some past events."

When Lin Xuan sneaked into PIA and met Wade for the first time, she also refused the tea offered by Wade. Wade didn't understand it at the time, but now seeing Cheng Xin's reaction, he suddenly came to his senses.

The other party was afraid that I would poison the water.

But why?

Wade was puzzled.

At that time, Lin Xuan had just become a wall-facer for less than a few days. Logically, he should not know me, but why did he show such fear towards me?

The other party didn't even use the Wallfacer's authority to see him directly, but wanted to do something to Cheng Xin and sneak into PIA quietly.

Wade didn't understand at first and thought that Lin Xuan was just showing off her skills and failed. After all, it was extremely difficult to sneak into PIA.

But now thinking back carefully, the other party might have been wary of me from the very beginning.

But why?

I don't even know the other person.

Cheng Xin didn't know what Wade was thinking at the moment. She waved her hand for a chair and sat down opposite Thomas Wade.

"I came to you today for two things."

"First, when the Ladder Plan was being implemented, did you kill Vadim?"

"Yes."

Thomas Wade had no intention of hiding anything and admitted it directly.

"He is the most suitable candidate for the Ladder Plan, even more suitable than Yun Tianming. Unfortunately, he concealed his illness, leaving me with no legitimate reason to let him die."

"That's because he's afraid that his family will know that he's half-dead." Cheng Xin's tone was tinged with anger.

"It has nothing to do with me. I only look at the results. As long as the results are good, it is worth sacrificing anyone."

Wade did not feel guilty about this. In his life, there would never be such an emotion as regret.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, and let's talk about the second thing." Cheng Xin suppressed the anger in her heart, calmed down and said.

"AA and I took over the Star Ring Group. You should know about this."

"Yeah, I heard about it."

"But the Star Ring Group is now facing great resistance in the construction of the Ring World. Because of you, revolutions and uprisings have broken out in various places. They are all lunatics who are not afraid of life and death. Even if you threaten them with destroying the two worlds, they will not stop their actions."

When Cheng Xin said this, she couldn't help but change the subject.

"But they all have one thing in common, that is, they all use my name. I want to make it clear in advance that I have no knowledge of these things and have nothing to do with these forces claiming to be saviors."

After hearing this, Wade thought for a while and understood what Cheng Xin meant.

"Are you trying to use this to blackmail me?"

"It's not a threat. From what I know about you, you are a madman who doesn't care about anyone. As long as human civilization can continue, you will do it even if it means killing more than half of all human beings."

"But I have a way to minimize the severity of this matter, or even make it disappear. This will also be good for your next plan. Otherwise, becoming an enemy of all mankind will not be conducive to your plan even if you don't care."

Upon hearing this, Wade suddenly laughed, and laughed very loudly.

"Tell me, little girl, whose idea was this?"

Wade stood up, walked around Cheng Xin, looked up and down at this subordinate whom he had not seen for many years, and said in a deep voice.
