Chapter 43
Because they were all just ordinary physical exhaustion, after Jiatu woke up, he and Hena were kicked out by the doctors in the infirmary.

Warren walked with them to the ninth floor, and then waved goodbye.

Along the way, Jiatu talked to the girl several times, but Hena ignored him.

Because when Warren said that he would also participate in the third round of testing, Jiatu and Hena quarreled over the issue of "who should take the third round of testing".

Jiatu seldom quarreled with Hena and Hera, unless it was something he really felt could not be compromised.

But he guessed that even he himself didn't expect that one day he would quarrel with the girl on the issue of "who should die".

From the girl's point of view, becoming a explorer is her duty. Jiatu didn't discuss it with her, so it's fine if she suddenly wanted to become a explorer. Now she is fighting with Noah because of her, offending the Nord family. So this responsibility should of course belong to her.

But in Jiatu's view, the girl already had the potential to safely pass the first two rounds of tests, so there was no need to take risks with him for her own reasons.

He was the one who broke Noah's arm, so he should be the one who paid for the momentary pleasure.

And he couldn't explain to Hena in front of Warren that with the help of the research institute and Heiyin, he passed the third round of tests and was much older than her.

But before he could speak, the girl first talked about his lameness.

"Do you know what the content of the third round of testing is?"

The girl tried to intimidate him with a serious face, but unfortunately she was too cute, so she was not very convincing:

"It's rock climbing! With your legs like this, how could you climb up a boulder that is more than 300 meters high?!"

Hearing this, Jiatu couldn't help but fell silent.

He reached out to take the half-eaten tin can in Hua Lun's hand, and just squeezed it gently, leaving four finger marks on it:

"Isn't that even okay?"

He returned the can to Warren, and Hena was also silent.

Now they also understood why Jiatu could easily break two people's bones.

But even so, Hena disagreed.

It was like Jiatu didn't want her to take any risks.

In the end, Jiatu had no choice but to use Hera as a rescuer:
"Then you let Hera choose, if one of us must go to the third round of testing, then who should go."

Jiatu knew that this was a very heart-wrenching choice for Hera.

But he had no choice, and he didn't believe that Hera would choose herself between her biological daughter and her adopted son.

In a sense, he also carried a kind of mild self-abuse.

If Hera would choose himself, he would be able to participate in the third round of testing without much regret.

However, what he didn't expect was that Hera didn't want them to go.

"It's just Nord! Although that person is hateful, our family can survive together by gritting our teeth. Why do you insist on humiliating yourself like this?!"

Inside the tent, Hera and Hena quarreled loudly.

Compared to himself, Jiatu seldom heard these two quarreling.

After all, before Jiatu entered the research institute, these two were the only pillars of the family. If any of them got angry or had an accident, it would cause the whole family to feel uneasy.

Let alone the two of them arguing together.

Heda and Jiatu, who had never seen this battle before, hid outside the tent together. Hearing the quarrel in the tent, the little boy shivered in Jiatu's arms.

"Brother Jiatu...why are sisters and mothers arguing..."

Heda asked in a daze.

At his age, he didn't quite understand why two people who cared so much for each other could quarrel so fiercely.

However, in order not to leave a shadow in his young heart, Jiatu thought for a while and said:
"Neither of them is wrong... It's just that they care too much about each other..."

Jiatu held Heda's head and kissed his soft hair lightly.

When Hera and Hena were not around, he was the only one who could take the place of those two people and convey "what is love" to Heda.

At this moment, a loud sob suddenly came from the tent:
"Get out! Get out of this house! I'll pretend I never gave birth to your daughter!"

Following the fierce sound of the door curtain being thrown up, Hena rushed out of the tent, her face blushing rarely.

The moment she saw Jiatu and Heda, she paused and stopped in front of Jiatu.

"Heda, go in and comfort Hera, you don't need to say anything, just hug her..."

Seeing the girl's expression, Jiatu understood.

He whispered something in Heda's ear, watched him touch his tears, and ran into the tent quickly.

In the next second, Hera's slight sobbing sound suddenly turned into howling.

Jiatu noticed that Hena suddenly raised her finger, wiped her nose, and turned her head away.

"Why bother...you just let me go alone..."

Jiatu patted the dust off his body and said silently.

He still tried to convince the girl: "If I fail, you can try again next year. If I die or become disabled, with Warren's father's protection, Nord should not do anything to you."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

However, Hena interrupted him somewhat rudely:
"You are more important to us than you think, so if there is one person who must 'die'...it must be me——haven't we always done this?"

The girl looked at Jiatu, her eyes were so deep that no emotion could be seen:
"You should know? After becoming a explorer, 50.00% of people will not live to adulthood, and the remaining 50.00% will die around the age of 30, so I have long been prepared to 'die'... But you are different, you managed to survive the great plague, wouldn't it be good to continue to live? Do you have to be like me and become a victim?"

"...Then can this be considered alive?"

For the first time, Jiatu uttered his innermost thoughts: "Being cast aside by everyone is nothing more than a piece of trash who can't do anything?! You're fine, you can die gracefully, have you ever thought about what happens after you die? The thoughts of those of us who survived?!"

"Ah, of course I know."

Hena stared at Jiatu and said: "Seeing you and mother die in front of my eyes, I don't want to die, I am a coward, so I can't accept this, but I know, you are more courageous than me, can you Facing my death calmly, and then supporting my mother and Heda to continue walking, that's why I rely on you so much. If you die, have you thought about what to do with us? If we all die, my mother will definitely not be able to accept it , In this way, not only you are dead, but even I can't move on, have you considered these things?!"

The girl's voice was short and excited, as if she had finally spoken out what she had kept in her heart for a long time.

Seeing the girl's petite but trembling appearance, Jiatu couldn't help but fell silent.

He had to admit that Hena had convinced him.

If Hena really died, without his support, Hera and Heda would really collapse.

"They" can't take that risk.

 Don't kill people.
