Chapter 5: They are the true warriors.
"I want to have a separate page for the family tree..."
Beneath the seemingly smiling face lay hands already clenched into fists.
The camera flashed red, as if lamenting the farewell of everyone.
The figures inside the conference hall were lined up under the lights.
There was no fear, only the calm of fighting for one's faith.
Ten minutes later.
The suicide note and the video were both stored in an iron box.
Yu Shanghe solemnly closed the iron box and personally handed it to his adjutant behind him.
After doing all this.
Yu Shanghe spoke in a deep voice.
"This is the worst possible outcome, but it's not the only one."
"You are all the elite of Great Xia. I believe you have the ability and the confidence to return safely."
A moment later, Peng Lubing slowly stepped forward.
After scanning the room with everyone present, he spoke in a steady voice.
"Gentlemen."
"Not long ago, within the territory of Great Xia, a citizen acquired the ability to travel through time and space to another world."
These words were spoken.
A deathly silence fell over the hall.
Many people thought they had misheard.
Traveling to another world?
Isn't this something that only exists in novels?
Everything felt like a scene straight out of a science fiction novel.
But, standing in front of them.
One was Yu Shanghe, the director of the National Security Bureau, and the other was Peng Lubing, the commander of the Northern Theater Command.
Either of these two, if you pick them out individually...
They are all entities that shock the outside world.
Such an absurd statement would never come from either of these two people.
"The portal definitely exists."
Peng Lubing continued.
"But the portal has a flaw; it can only last for one minute. If you don't return within one minute, you'll be stuck there forever."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Even the most seasoned special forces soldiers were utterly shocked as they looked at Peng Lubing.
"Behind the other door lies a world resembling the Jurassic period."
"Jurassic World?"
The image of a dinosaur involuntarily came to mind for everyone present.
Although curious, they waited quietly for Peng Lubing to continue.
"But this is only a small part; what truly lies behind that door, we do not know."
"And the one who controls the portal, Han Bei, has already completed the first teleportation. He has personally witnessed dinosaurs."
"They also brought back strong evidence."
The researchers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that the place they were going to would be another world.
"Your mission is to protect Han Bei and successfully complete this journey. Furthermore, you will conduct an initial exploration of the Jurassic World."
Peng Lubing looked solemnly at the researchers.
"This is not only a scientific research mission, but also the beginning of humanity's initial exploration of other worlds."
A silent, heavy atmosphere filled the air.
Some researchers were clearly aware of what Peng Lubing had said earlier.
If they can come back alive this time.
Then, for the Great Xia, this might be an opportunity to make a name for itself and return to its peak.
"The Jurassic period shouldn't have been particularly dangerous, right?"
One of the special forces members couldn't help but mutter something.
Peng Lubing happened to overhear this.
"Don't let your guard down. On the surface, it's Jurassic World. But how can you know if there are other dangers there?"
Peng Lubing frowned and reprimanded him.
The unknown is always the most frightening thing.
not to mention.
Although they knew that it was a dinosaur world over there.
But who can guarantee that there aren't other dangers over there besides dinosaurs?
That place might be a world rich in minerals, a world that could allow Great Xia to soar to new heights.
It is also possible that it is a world fraught with danger.
"There's something that might be a little cruel, but I still want to make it clear to you."
Peng Lubing frowned, somewhat reluctant to mention it.
But I still spoke up.
"If an uncontrollable danger arises, Hanbei's safety must be the top priority."
Everyone present was intelligent.
He immediately understood Peng Lubing's meaning.
As long as Han Bei, who possesses the portal, lives, they will always have a way to explore the other world.
on the contrary.
Once North Korea dies.
Given the current level of development of human civilization, is it feasible to achieve interstellar exploration?
I don't know how many more years it will take.
Peng Lubing's words were indeed somewhat cruel.
But for Da Xia, Han Bei alone is worth more than all of them combined.
not to mention.
Before they came, they already had the belief that they would sacrifice their lives for their country.
"clear!"
The special forces soldiers who were reprimanded by Peng Lubing did not harbor any resentment.
On the contrary, they became even more energetic.
"clear!!"
The resounding responses echoed throughout the camp like thunder.
The sound traveled through the night sky.
It left an unquestionable impression in everyone's minds.
Peng Lubing watched all of this.
His expression was complex, a mixture of guilt and reverence for the crowd.
They are true warriors.
Knowing that dangers may lurk ahead, they are still willing to take the first step.
We are all human beings, without any distinction of rank or status.
But he himself had said those words, though it was a helpless act. It still made Peng Lubing feel somewhat ashamed.
But for Da Xia, Hanbei is indeed an opportunity.
Great Xia has been suppressed by the United States for many years, although it is now showing signs of surpassing it.
But that's only on the surface.
In reality, the gap between Great Xia and the United States is still there.
It seemed that they had sensed Peng Lubing's inner turmoil.
Guo Yong, the squad leader of the Dragon Fang Special Forces, spoke with a smile.
"Commander Peng, don't think of us as cowards who are afraid of death. We are all brave warriors who are willing to sacrifice our lives for our country."
"That's right."
"Commander Peng doesn't need to feel burdened. I had thought about this outcome a long time ago."
"To die on the battlefield is the highest praise for a soldier."
Many people jokingly say that this is also a way to alleviate the unavoidable fear deep in people's hearts when facing the unknown.
After clarifying the details of the mission statement.
Yu Shanghe and Peng Lubing had Han Bei brought over as well.
"Let's get acquainted," Yu Shanghe said to Han Bei. "These are the people who will be fighting alongside you from now on."
Inside the conference hall.
The whispers that had been going on immediately fell silent when Han Bei entered.
Special forces soldiers in camouflage combat uniforms and researchers in white protective suits stood side by side.
The light from the incandescent bulb shone on me, casting a soft white halo.
When Han Bei walked in.
All eyes were on Han Bei.
This unassuming, seemingly ordinary young man holds the only key to another world.
The first to step forward was Guo Yong, the captain of the Dragon Fang Squad.
Guo Yong's voice was loud and clear as he reached out his hand to Han Bei.
"Guo Yong, captain of the Dragon Fang Squad."
Looking at Guo Yong, who was tall and strong with a somewhat honest yet resolute appearance, and who was reaching out his hand to him.
Han Bei extended his hand and shook it. "Han Bei, a citizen of Great Xia."
