#982 - Chapter 982 They must survive! The final farewell? She knows!
Chen Hao stood there, stunned.
How could he not know his sister-in-law's feelings?
He also knew that his sister-in-law would bury this emotion in her heart for a lifetime, but now…
Knowing that he was going to the Kuiper Belt, knowing about wormhole jumps within the star system, and the risk of wormhole collapse, she finally couldn't control her emotions.
She wouldn't ruin her sister's love and marriage.
Chen Hao suppressed the discomfort in his heart and murmured softly, "Everyone has selfish desires, and I'm no exception. Do you think that everything I'm doing is really just for the survival of the entire human race? Look over there…"
Following the direction he pointed, her gaze passed over the entire garden, through the floor-to-ceiling glass…
The little girl was in her mother's arms, giggling happily.
"They must survive!" Chen Hao's tone was firm.
The crisis brought by the Hunters was not aimed at any one person or any one country, but at the entire human civilization.
His wife and children.
His parents.
Every important person involved in his cherished love, family, and friendship, wasn't each of them a part of human civilization?
Once human civilization was destroyed, no one would be spared!
When the nest is overturned, are there any unbroken eggs?
In the previous life, his wife died to save him.
In this life.
He must stand in front of his wife and children, even if he died… he would die first!
…
Xia Qingyan was stunned.
At this moment, she finally understood what Chen Hao was thinking.
Even if he wasn't doing it for the people of the world, he would stand up selflessly for his closest loved ones.
It wasn't that there was no choice.
On this issue, he had never thought about choosing, but that he had to do so!
"Chen Hao!" She forcefully held back her tears.
"Sis…"
"Go, I won't stop you."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions: "Forget about the conversation just now!"
After speaking, she turned around.
She left without looking back.
Facing the moment of death, she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.
Looking back now, she was still too impulsive.
She shouldn't have said it!
…
In the next two or three days, Chen Hao ignored any official business, whether it was scientific research or national affairs.
Mopping the floor.
Washing dishes.
Cooking for both families…
No!
With him and Xia Qingmo as the bond, the two families were already as close as one.
Three days were very short.
Early on the fourth day, the family gathered around the dining table, eating the breakfast Chen Hao made.
"Dad, Mom."
Just after finishing eating.
Chen Hao looked at his parents and said with a smile, "I'm going to be busy next, I have a scientific research task."
"It's okay, you go and do your thing, we'll take care of the house." Chen Fuhai waved his hand.
"Xiaoxing."
Chen Hao picked up his daughter.
He really wanted to hug her tightly, but he was afraid of hurting her with too much force: "Dad is going on a business trip for a while, you have to be a good girl and listen."
Actually…
There were many, many, many things he wanted to say to his daughter.
But he couldn't say them!
If he did, his family would see something was wrong and might guess the truth.
"Yeah! Xiaoxing will be very good." The little girl giggled.
A few minutes later.
Chen Hao put down the little girl, walked to Xia Qingmo, and smiled softly: "Then… I'm leaving."
"Mm." She nodded.
Suddenly!
Chen Hao lowered his head and, in front of both sets of parents, his lips touched her forehead.
Everyone didn't think much of this intimate gesture between husband and wife.
Finally, he turned and left.
His figure gradually receded.
Xia Qingmo stared in the direction he left.
Even after his figure disappeared, she was still standing there, watching.
"I'm going to work." Xia Qingyan raised her leg and left, afraid that she would cry.
Suddenly!
Xia Qingmo chased after her sister.
"Qingmo?" Seeing her sister chasing after her, Xia Qingyan was stunned.
"Sis, let's go for a walk?"
…
Xia Qingyan was puzzled.
She was in a bad mood now, and she didn't dare to show it in front of her sister, so she could only lower her head and walk out together.
The two sisters didn't speak.
After walking out of the house and into the public area, Xia Qingmo opened her mouth: "Sis, can you promise me one thing?"
"What?"
"Treat Xiaoxing… like your own daughter, okay?"
…
Xia Qingyan widened her eyes, looking at her in surprise: "What are you saying?! Qingmo, don't scare me… What exactly happened?!"
"It's nothing, I'm just saying it." She smiled, as if she was just chatting.
Xia Qingyan stared at her intently.
After a while.
She bit her lip: "Do you… know something?"
"Sis, you could see it, how could I not see it?" Xia Qingmo chuckled.
"Did you also call General Wang?!"
"No."
"Did you ask Chen Hao?"
"No."
Xia Qingmo shook her head: "Sis, I understand him."
"What exactly do you want to do?!"
Seeing her sister's calm smile, Xia Qingyan suddenly felt very panicked: "Don't do anything stupid! That probability… isn't particularly high, you wouldn't learn from the ancients and commit suicide for love, would you? Xiaoxing… can't be without a mother!"
"Commit suicide for love?"
Xia Qingmo covered her mouth and chuckled: "If I did that, he would definitely hate me."
Abandoning her young daughter to die?
Would it look very noble?
No!
That was by no means noble, but a manifestation of cowardice, an evasion of the responsibility of being a mother, that kind of Xia Qingmo…
Was not worthy of him, Chen Hao!
…
Suburbs, military base.
When Chen Hao arrived, there was already a large group of people who had arrived early.
General Wang was there.
The old man was also there!
And many other high-level officials had also come.
"Salute!"
The old man raised his hand in salute, his eyes extremely complicated.
He didn't want Chen Hao to take this step, but theoretically this was the optimal solution, and besides, even if he tried to stop him… Chen Hao would definitely not listen!
Chen Hao was stunned: "Why are you all here?"
"Xiao Chen, I…"
The old man wanted to say something.
But he couldn't help but his eyes reddened, and his throat stiffened, unable to speak.
It shouldn't be like this!
Why should a young man, who had given so much to the country, and was still in the prime of his youth, bear all this?
"10%."
Chen Hao smiled lightly: "I really don't believe that I'll just happen to encounter that 10%, so… it's okay!"
"Yes! It will definitely be okay!" The old man nodded vigorously.
He wasn't comforting Chen Hao, but comforting himself.
Definitely…
Nothing must happen!
"Has everyone arrived?" Chen Hao looked at General Wang.
"They've all arrived."
General Wang nodded, pursing his lips: "Commander, I'll go with you!"
"Are you a scientist with skills, or a young soldier with strength?" Chen Hao frowned.
"I…"
"Let professionals do professional things."
Suddenly!
Just as Chen Hao finished speaking, a voice floated over: "That's right! With so many people going, who can guarantee they won't have headaches and fevers? As a pharmaceutical scientist, I have enough reason to join the team."
Huh?!
Following the voice, Chen Hao was instantly dumbfounded.
"Besides, a group of sloppy men always need someone to take care of them, right? Washing clothes, cooking, sewing, I can handle it all!"
It was!
Xia Qingmo walked over quickly.
Her sister understood Chen Hao?
As his wife, how could she not understand?
After her sister saw the clues, she contacted General Wang to verify, but she…
Without asking anyone, she had already seen from many details that her husband was about to face—a life-or-death decision!
