death of hope

Chapter 253 "Corporate Warrior" (169) relies on

Lynch sat on the bench at the gate and read a book, and waited for the time for a ball game. When dusk fell, the words on the book could not be read clearly. He felt something was wrong, but it was not suitable to go in.

He didn't answer the phone calls, he didn't reply to the text messages, just as he stood up and decided to go in and have a look, a familiar figure appeared,

Sigurdlifa moved like a walking corpse, her eye makeup was stained, her eyes were dull, and her whole body was trembling. Two kind-hearted Red Cross volunteers supported her under the armpit, because she was too tall and seemed to be struggling.

She had obviously sat on the ground and knelt for a while, her skirt was dirty and the knees of her stockings were worn out.

"Sir, please take care of this lady, she is in a bad state of mind, are you her husband?"

"It's a boyfriend."

"What a couple, two big guys... She's too tall... Come on."

Lynch bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Goodbye." The two volunteers returned to the building, and Lynch hurried up to support them.

"I'm so stupid...Knowing that he's going to die soon, I'm still stubbornly refusing to say it..." Sigdrifa's mouth was vague, as if he was raving in a dream: "It's too late, it's too late to say it now..."

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly, you're shaking, wait a minute." Lynch put his military coat on her body: "It's getting cold."

"Thank you, I'm not cold." Sigdrifa just glanced at him, and then continued to mumble to himself indistinctly: "The doctors and nurses said I was cruel, and they were right... I just don't have a head Emotional wolf cub..."

"What!? I can't hear clearly." Lynch became more worried: "What's going on?"

"I hate him, he lost all his family property, and left me and grandma alone, but now that he is dead, it feels... like a big stone is blocked in the arteries, aggrieved and uncomfortable."

"I know you are uncomfortable." Lynch saw the document in her hand, took it over gently, only to find that it was a death certificate, and thought suspiciously:

(It shouldn’t be like this, every time she mentions that irresponsible father, she can scold for several minutes without any repetition, all kinds of vicious curses, vulgar words emerge in endlessly, I thought she would laugh out of it... ...)
No matter how much he persuaded him, Lynch could only hug her and listen to her vague words.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the street lights were on, it would be no problem after all, so she approached her ear and said softly:
"Well, I'll go to Papa Ron for help (Lynch's old boss, the head of the McMillan Enterprise Warrior Department),
Grant us a long paid vacation. Sir Hammer from Munich is my old comrade in arms. He is a recipient of the Iron Cross and the rector of the parish.

He can find a friend from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to apply for a burial permit, and he can also find a priest to hold a beautiful Catholic funeral. "

Sigdrifa didn't say anything, and plunged into Lynch's chest, as if trying to get rid of this nightmare.

Lynch patted her on the back: "Don't worry, Hammer and I have a lifelong friendship, and it will be no problem to ask him for help."

Because of his legendary performance in the army, Lynch made a lot of friends. Many old comrades in arms owed him favors, and even owed his life. How could he not work hard to help?

Everything is going well, and under Sir Hammer's planning, the funeral of a hallucinogen-addicted, debt-ridden homeless man turns out to be decent.

Mr. Steinberg, bishop of the Frauenkirche Church in Munich, personally recited the prayers. The cemetery has beautiful scenery, and the tombstones are from the hands of well-known sculptors in Germany. Even the soil and flowers are carefully customized.

Although these formalistic things cannot bring people back to life, they can also greatly relieve the pain of the relatives of the deceased.

As the last heir of the family, Sigurdriefa wore black clothes, black stockings, and a black veil. She did not receive any inheritance, but only painful memories and debts left by her father.

After the funeral, Lynch stayed with his girlfriend in the cemetery for a long time. Before leaving, he said:
"Sorry, there's only so much I can do, I hope it makes you feel better."

"Thanks for everything you have done for me."

"Well... our Alpha team has received a new mission, and it is a high-risk level. It is related to the company's important interests in energy security. The big guy knows about you. He called and said it's okay, let us stay. But I don’t worry about letting Wang Hongye lead the attack.”

"Let's go."

"No, your current state of mind is not suitable for missions. The Alpha team cannot be led by the captain. If this is done, I will ask Father Ron for help and extend your vacation. After the mission is completed, I will come to Munich to find you."

After parting, Lynch led his team to the not-too-distant Mars base to wipe out the "Relic Defenders" gang on the red soil,
This terrorist organization was originally just a group of irascible environmentalists. With the secret funding and support of the Green Party, it gradually developed into a tool of partisan struggle.

Under the pretext of protecting the relics of ancient alien civilization, terrorist attacks were launched on the facilities of traditional industrial giants, in order to weaken the power of the Red Party in the parliament.

In recent months, the "Relic Defenders" blew up a fuel pipeline of a McMillan Energy branch on the grounds of protecting the ruins of ancient civilizations on Mars, causing huge maintenance costs and the death of several engineers.

The board of directors couldn't bear it anymore, and directly dispatched the most elite enterprise fighter squad to carry out the beheading operation, and made a surprise attack by airborne.

The starship enters low orbit to deliver the airborne pod and a full set of equipment vehicles. It is Lynch's old job as a heavy paratrooper, and he is very familiar with it.

After a successful landing, destroy the airport and aircraft of the terrorist organization, and take a light tracked vehicle to attack the base all the way, killing those who stand in the way.

These terrorists are all wanted criminals with several lives on the death row. It is only because of the umbrella of the Green Party behind them that they are not destroyed by the Federation. Corporate fighters can kill them one by one without legal and moral burdens.

After the base fell, the bandit leader fled with eight cronies and a huge sum of money sponsored by the Green Party, but he still failed to escape the pursuit of corporate soldiers. During the thrilling chase in the desert,
The sniper Mehmadi shot through the helmet of the enemy machine gunner, and the .50 heavy machine gun went out. The grenadier Lodayev took the opportunity to throw a homemade remote-controlled bomb into the cabin of the enemy armored vehicle, BOOM!

The ammunition in the car exploded, and armor fragments and tracks were blown to the sky.

The sky was filled with red dust and broken banknotes, and the terrorist organization "Defenders of the Relics" was completely wiped out.

Three members of the base were injured and captured. They confessed the dirty deal and political conspiracy behind it. The documents were posted on the website for netizens to browse at will, and the pro-Red Party media public opinion launched fierce criticism.

There is no doubt that this action is a heavy blow to the Green Party forces in the Terra Parliament. In order to avoid the limelight, the behavior of waving the big stick of environmental protection ideas as a monster has decreased a lot.

In this wave, the traditional real capitalists won a big victory, and the red party politicians supported by McMillan Company cheered. As heroes, Lynch and his Alpha team were even more valued, which was intuitively reflected in their salaries.

When Lynch took the flight to Terra Mother Planet, two months had passed since the funeral. What worried him was that his girlfriend's mood hadn't changed much.
