[Kiana: This guy named Riku is too straightforward in giving orders, isn't he? ]

Seeing Rick give such a task so straightforwardly and with a blank expression afterwards, Kiana found it incredible to hear.

[Himeko: Maybe it’s because he has issued such orders many times? ]

[Jizi: This is certainly not the first time they have been in trouble. In the past, there have probably been many such incidents. The person who issued these orders, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the boy named Rick.]

【Kiana: This...】

[Xing: It should be Ye Chen leading Long Aotian to rise, but why are you showing me this? I don’t want to see it, my teeth are choking. ]

【Wendy: I’m too old to watch these things.】

[Zhongli: Although there are many despicable people among humans, the noble ones among them are admirable from the bottom of our hearts.]

Seeing the scene in the video, Zhongli was deeply moved, and even recalled the Thousand Rocks warriors who had fought with him. They were the same.

Just now, Zhongli even had the idea of ​​choosing to trust humans.

But in the end, he suppressed this thought, because Zhongli knew that humans could not stand the test of time.

Therefore, even if you want to entrust Liyue to someone else, you should entrust it to someone who is worthy.

The video continues to play.

Just when Yi Wang sacrificed himself to lure away the demon, Ye Chen, who was hiding in the dark, took action.

They have magic to disguise themselves as other races whose strength is comparable to that of the demons.

Then he pretended to start fighting with the demons to give Iwan a chance to escape.

After Yi Wang escaped, Ye Chen was able to deal with the demon cleanly and efficiently.

And discovered the robot hiding in the dark and observing.

Then he called her out.

After she came out, she did not attack Ye Chen.

Unlike other superior races that would either kill humans or reserve them as food, this little robot girl pounced on Ye Chen the moment she saw him.

She told Ye Chen that she wanted to understand the human heart.

At first Ye Chen didn't understand what she meant, until she explained it to him.

She believed that humans, as naturally evolved creatures, did not have the ability to connect to the Elf Corridor and should have died in the aftermath of the war between different races long ago.

But human beings still live tenaciously. There must be something driving them to do so.

She thinks this thing is the "heart"

Then she told Ye Chen about the battle with Yan Long.

She didn't understand why such a weak human had such confidence in victory in his eyes. How could humans, as one of the weakest creatures, defeat the mechas? Why did he have such a determined look in his eyes?

So from that day on, she began to explore the "heart".

After hearing this explanation, Ye Chen signed a contract with him and secretly brought him back to the settlement.

He placed her in his room.

Then he walked towards Rick's room.

When Rick and another companion returned to the settlement, Ivan's daughter, who couldn't see her father, asked Rick where her father was.

Rick squatted down and tried to comfort the little girl, but the little girl was not ignorant. She knew that her father was dead and she would never see him again.

Because it was Rick who gave the order, she resented Rick and even asked him in front of him: "Why didn't you die?"

Her mother was also shocked by her daughter's words. After apologizing to Rick, she quickly took her daughter away.

Rick remained squatting without saying anything. He just squatted there silently for a while and then walked towards his room.

Ye Chen came to the door of Rick's room and heard some noise.

With Ye Chen's hearing, he could clearly hear the sounds in the room.

Rick was in the room hating himself, constantly blaming himself and belittling himself.

"What's the point of continuing this? How long will it last? Until I kill 1001 people for the sake of 999 people?"

"Or until there's only one person left?"

"When will it end? How long will I have to continue living in misery?"

Rick in the room yelled in despair.

【Lao Yang: Ordering your companions to die will make anyone feel uneasy.】

Lao Yang said this as he looked at Rick who collapsed in the video.

And this sentence is also the voice of everyone.

141. What’s with your tears?

In this doomsday-like world, the greatest benefit can only be guaranteed by sacrificing necessary people when necessary.

From a rational point of view, this is correct, even very correct.

But from a human emotional point of view, it is not pleasant to sacrifice one's companions in exchange for the chance for oneself and others to survive.

Especially the person who gives the order may collapse at any time due to the condemnation in his heart.

But humans can only do this.

It wasn’t just the people outside the video who felt heavy-hearted when seeing this scene.

The same is true in the video.

The video continues to play.

In the video, after listening to Rick's complaints, Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Chen saw Rick kneeling on the ground.

"Who?"

Rick, who was crying with his head in his hands, stopped crying immediately when he heard the noise and looked up at the person who came.

But because of the rush, there were tear marks on Rick's face and some tears in his eyes.

"How did you get in?" Rick asked when he saw that it was Ye Chen who came.

"Please, all the locks here were created by me, so I should know how to open them." Ye Chen looked at Rick as if he were an idiot.

"You guy! This is not a reason for you to just walk into someone else's room!" Rick said.

"If I don't open the door, how can I see little Chu Nan crying bitterly and hiding in a dark corner?" Ye Chen said.

"I didn't cry, don't talk nonsense!" Rick immediately began to defend himself when he heard Ye Chen say that he was crying.

"Really? Then what's with the tears in your eyes?" Ye Chen continued.

"I, I...my tears got into the sand!" Rick continued to be stubborn.

"You've done very well. There's no need to blame yourself." Ye Chen said to Rick who was being stubborn.

“………” Rick was silent.

"How could I not blame myself?"

After a brief silence, there was an outburst of emotion.

"Chad! Anton! Alma! Corey! Del! Celis! Ed! Darrell! Dib! Lux! Bing! Eric! Charlie! Thompson! Xinta! Yang! Zaza! Zarge! Clay! Golo! Peter! Arthur! Morgu! Jimmy! Dato! Cero! Biji! Polly! Ken! Shabeji! Liroy! Bobo! Kton! Ruto! Sigle! Xiaou! Wolf! Bart! Yasuo! Kenwood! Peilu! Yahad! Harwood! Barrof! Yas! Meimeigang! Karim! Iwan!"

Rick called out name after name.

Including Ivan’s name, there are a total of 48 people, no more, no less.

These were all people Rick ordered to die, and Rick remembered every one of their names.

"All 48 of them died bravely because of my orders! Of course, they died in the war. They were completely wiped out like dust!"

"But I was the only one who ordered them to die!!!"

After saying this, Rick could no longer maintain his indifferent expression.

Started to cry.

Started crying bitterly.

It's as if I want to release all the emotions in my heart.

"I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't do anything!"

"Damn it!!!"

Rick cried and yelled.

【March 7: He memorized each of their names in his heart.】

【Walter: He must be in great pain and torment.】

Everyone felt bad when seeing Rick in the video naming his former companions one by one.

I believe that any person with a conscience would feel the same way when seeing this scene.

[Su: For the future of mankind, he had to remain rational and sacrifice his companions, but as a person with a conscience, he had to endure the condemnation of his own heart.]

[Su: I think his heart must have been broken a long time ago.]

【Kevin: A respectable man.】

Although Rick started crying after calling out the names one by one.

But no one looked down on him. Instead, they admired him even more because he maintained his humanity.

Even though his heart has long been broken, he still lives on strong for the future of mankind.

If someone else lived this kind of life for a long time, they would either completely collapse, become a madman, or commit suicide.

Or you will gradually close your heart and start to become cold and heartless.

Weighing human life on the scales like currency.

As long as it is for the better survival of mankind, there is nothing that cannot be given up.

Even if, as Rick said before, he abandoned 999 people and saved the remaining 1001 or 1000 people.

Even if there is just one more person, we can sacrifice the lives of the remaining 999 people.

It is even possible that for the same number of people, the other part will be abandoned because the people on the other side can better continue the human race.

But Rick didn't. He didn't break down, nor did he let his heart become cold and heartless.

He would also blame himself for ordering his companions to die, feel sad because of their departure, and feel lost and even cry when others pointed at him.

This shows that he is still a human being!

A person with humanity!

This is commendable.

But when everyone thought so, there was one person who didn't think so.

The video continues to play.

In the video, Ye Chen looked at Rick who was crying bitterly, but did not comfort or encourage him.

I didn’t tell him, “You’ve done a good job, don’t blame yourself.”

I didn't say to him, "Don't be sad. Although this is unavoidable, it's not your fault. You don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself."

Or say something like "As the leader of the settlement, I am also wrong."

At this moment, the emotion in Ye Chen's eyes when he looked at Rick was not heartache or sadness, nor helplessness, but incomparable severity!

"What's that expression on your face? What's that look?"

"What are those two lines of tears of yours?"

Ye Chen stared at Rick intently and said sternly.

Rick stopped crying and was stunned when he heard Ye Chen's words.

It seemed as if he couldn't expect Ye Chen to speak like this.
