Chu Yunsheng asked people to bury Gru and Jacob together, which could also be regarded as fulfilling one of Jacob's wishes. He hoped that they could be in another world, one was a coach, and the other was a player, doing what they liked to do.
Jacob's sister held Jacob's cold body and cried for a day and a night. So far, except for her, everyone in their family had died, and she was the only one left.
When she was young, she might not understand what had happened in the outside world. When she grew up, she might even think that the earth had always been like this, and the peaceful life on earth in her memory would probably be completely forgotten.
But her sadness and fear at this moment might be remembered for the rest of her life, because from this moment on, she no longer had the protection of her brother. No matter how weak and how poor her brother was, he still tried his best to protect her, take care of her, and use his thin arms and bent back to support her family. But now, he was gone. She became an orphan, just like the thousands of orphans on the starship, forever losing the last family member in the world.
Chu Yunsheng did not blame Regiment Commander He for letting Jacob go to the front line. When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. When the war was at its end, everyone was on the front line. Who deserved to die, and who didn't?
The number of families buried in the endless graveyard was equivalent to the number of hopes planted in it!
Chu Yunsheng let go of Jacob's sister's little hand and said silently, "Kowtow to your brother. Although you don't believe in this, he has done his best for you and your parents. He deserves it. Let him go in peace."
The little girl was too young to know who Chu Yunsheng was. She only knew that everyone around her was very respectful to Chu Yunsheng. Whenever he said something, someone would immediately do it. She had never seen anyone who dared to disobey. So she also obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Yunsheng.
…
"Professor, I will leave her to you."
Holding the little girl whose eyes were red and swollen, Chu Yunsheng said to Professor Ron next to him in a low voice, "these children are the real hope of the rise of the earthlings. I will talk to Mr. Sisgao to provide them with the best education, but you have to work hard."
The professor's right arm was wrapped in a bandage. At the last moment of the bloody battle, he, a weak old professor, was also forced to the frontline. Fortunately, he was only repairing the wall of the warship, and he was injured by the falling debris after the Sword Qi swept by. It was not fatal.
He probably didn't expect that Chu Yunsheng would say that, so he subconsciously said in surprise, "Mr. Chu, I thought you are …"
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, "if you really think that way, then you wouldn't have forced all the students to memorize it twice at the last moment. The first time, you forced all the students to memorize it, and the second time, you forced the students to memorize it. You don't have to be afraid.
Perhaps our next step will be to enter the cold and empty starry sky, or perhaps we will still remain here. But no matter which path we take, we, who are physically weak, must rely on knowledge to grow stronger from generation to generation, and survive in the universe where the strong are everywhere. Actually, I shouldn't be the one to talk about these principles. It's meaningless even if I did. "
He paused for a moment and suddenly said, "these days, about the candidates for the human leader, what do the people in your department think?"
Regarding the era leader, people at different levels had different ways of referring to it. Chu Yunsheng called him the era leader, the soldiers below him called him the son of humanity, and the people in the middle and upper levels called him the human leader to show their seriousness, but in fact, they all had the same meaning.
The professor really didn't expect that Chu Yunsheng would ask him the most sensitive topic in the past few days, so he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"I know that you people are more inclined to the lamp man named Chris," Chu Yunsheng said.
Seeing that the professor didn't speak, Chu Yunsheng said, "it's just that they don't dare to say it out because they think that I have other thoughts."
The professor lowered his head and didn't speak, but his silence meant that he admitted it.
Chu Yunsheng looked up at the densely packed graves and continued, "this is not something that I can decide. It's just that someone asked me to do it, so I have to choose one."
Speaking up to this point, the professor probably also knew that he had to say something. Chu Yunsheng first affirmed the extreme importance of their department in the future, and then asked the founder of his department about the candidate for the leader of the earthlings. This was to force him to express his opinion and decide who he supported to win in the end.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally had to say, "Andrew has a stronger personal advantage than Chris, and he has also been eager to learn recently. Yesterday, he even came to me to ask for advice. Although his foundation is too weak and he can't understand what I said, he still attaches great importance to the learning department."
Chu Yunsheng didn't speak. He nodded silently, held the little girl's hand, and slowly walked towards the starship.
Ron obviously misunderstood what he meant. He thought that he was forcing him to no longer support Chris. After all, as he said, he had the final say on who to choose as the leader. He didn't need to ask for the opinion of the learning department at all. But Ron also didn't understand that if he decided to choose Andrew, he didn't need to force anyone to express their opinion. With his current prestige and strength, no one dared to disobey him.
Thinking that if he continued to talk, it would only make things worse, so Chu Yunsheng gave up the idea of discussing with him.
In the beginning, he just wanted to find someone that Ji Ziyi would like, so he just gave it to him casually and considered it as completing the task. But now it was different. Things had developed to this point, so he had to be cautious.
First, he wanted to give the guardian a satisfactory explanation. When so many people risked their lives to protect the starship, this responsibility became heavier and heavier in his heart. Now that the surviving earthlings really needed a competent leader, they could better cooperate with the starship. Second, he also needed a stable and reliable era leader. If the slender starship couldn't be repaired, the underground graveyard would become extremely important. And those battleships, the guardian also said very clearly that they were the legacy of the last era leader.
In other words, no matter how strong he was, in the guardian's era leader plan, he was still a "supporting role". The owner of those battleships could only be the era leader. If he wanted to sit there safely, he must choose a reliable era leader.
The selection of the era leader was imminent, and it was related to whether the second set of plans could be carried out smoothly. Once it was confirmed, he would immediately go to a place where Ba Yizeng was hiding.
In terms of reliable people, it was not that there was no one now. Buterne, Shauna, Ba Yi, and others could all be entrusted to him. Among them, Ba Yi was the best candidate. He had the temperament of a leader, and he also had the leadership ability that was at least much stronger than himself. However, the news brought by Ba Yi personally excluded himself, Buterne, and others, and the rest could only be chosen from the "normal" earthlings.
The slender masters had no say in the selection. Even if they had suggestions, Chu Yunsheng would not let them participate in it, lest the earthlings be controlled by the slender masters and become their vassals.
Only a few people around him could ask for their opinions.
Buterne barely woke up because she was in a hurry to rescue Chu Yunsheng. Now she was seriously injured, and her condition was not very good. However, the slender master's technology was also very advanced. After the examination, she said that she could be treated to the best level, but it would take time. Otherwise, it would still be a hasty awakening, which would not make much sense. Chu Yunsheng ruled out everyone's opinions and asked the slender master to prepare for it. In a short period of time, she couldn't speak, so she couldn't give any suggestions.
Although the bones of Ba Yi's legs were broken, relying on the degenerative ability, even without the slender master's treatment, it would heal sooner or later. Of course, with the help of the slender master, he would be able to walk the next day.
On the other hand, he clearly and firmly supported the street lamp Chris. He did not have a high opinion of Andrew and the others, but it was not just Andrew.
Of course, he had his own reasons. He felt that Chris had been recognized by the majority of people, and he also had a team that a leader should have, which was in line with the idea of Europeans and Americans. Choosing him would cause the least resistance and the greatest effect, which was in line with the current chaotic and complicated situation.
In particular, he didn't have any personal power, so it was easy to "deal with" him. At the critical moment, he could kill him at any time.
Chu Yunsheng also carefully observed this street lamp. He believed that Ba Yi's vision and thorough consideration were very suitable in all aspects. The only problem was that Ji Ziyi still had no interest in him, which was the main reason why Chu Yunsheng still hadn't made up his mind.
As soon as he hesitated, rumors immediately spread all over the starship. The entire starship was saying that he looked down on Chris. There were even some old blood riders who had followed Chu Yunsheng to the North American Continent during the flood. They said that Chris and the others had attacked the king with guns, which was a stain in history, so the king didn't like them.
In less than two days, almost everyone knew about this incident. Moreover, the rumor was getting more and more exaggerated. It had evolved into a rumor that Chris had fired six bullets at Chu Yunsheng, and all of them had holes in his nose and eyes.
The other candidates, who thought that they had no hope, suddenly became active and began to actively perform. For example, Andrew often ran to the learning department … and the person involved, Chris, was even more frightened. He wanted to see Chu Yunsheng several times to ask for forgiveness, but he was always rejected.
Then Chu Yunsheng went to talk to Regiment Commander He.
After Regiment Commander He had been beastified, he had been receiving advanced medical treatment for the past few days. His life was temporarily saved, but the degenerative factor in his body was very unstable. It would often explode and destroy his bodily functions. He was hovering on the edge of life and death. If it wasn't for the advanced medical treatment of the expert that could stabilize his life, he would have died hundreds of times already.
Chu Yunsheng also asked for his opinion. In the life-saving life box, the commander of the strongest legion on earth was very cautious. Coupled with his identity and background, Chu Yunsheng could see that he had a little bit of an idea. He felt that since Chu Yunsheng was the "boss", the son of a human should also be chosen by the people of his country, not those long-haired devils.
