On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Chapter 166 "Cradle"

"Uncle, I'm not afraid of death. This is my choice."

Please respect my choice and don't stop me.

The man looked at her deeply. His clear glassy eyes were full of determination, the flame of revenge and fearlessness of death. He said blankly, "Okay."

"You and the others can get in the car first." He called for others to come and take her away, then turned to look at the female dean in the audience and said, "I'm taking this child away. Take care of the others and don't let anyone know what happened today."

"Yes."

The dean responded and told her not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask. No matter where the child would be taken, it was none of her business.

The captain was about to leave after he finished speaking, but the woman behind him suddenly called him.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to speak up: "Sir, you will go to the front line later. Please let me go with you."

The man turned around and looked at the face covered with several deep wrinkles and full of vicissitudes and fatigue, and slowly said: "Madam Dean, your mission is to take care of these children. The front line is not suitable for you. It is very dangerous there."

"I know, sir. I'm not kidding, I'd give my life for the Alliance."

"But these kids need you."

"No, please ask the Alliance to send someone else. Sir, my husband, my children, and all my relatives died in the disaster half a year ago. I saw with my own eyes that they were torn apart and devoured by the star beasts."

"Every night, those horrific images would replay in my mind, tormenting my body and soul. This is a torment. I can't do nothing. Please let me go to the front line. I want to take revenge on those beasts, even if I have to die in their mouths."

"But you are not fit for combat."

"The front line needs more than just soldiers, it also needs logistical personnel. I can do everything. I will learn how to pick up weapons to fight against star beasts. Not everyone is born to fight, but I can learn. I implore you to agree to my request, sir."

The man looked at her earnest eyes and finally gave in. "Okay, ma'am, I will report your request to my superiors and someone will come to take over your task. You can join the nearby logistics team. They are recruiting people. Once the rest is over, they will rush to the front with us."

"Sir, thank you, thank you very much." The headmistress bowed to him excitedly and said sincerely, "The blazing fire will never be extinguished. May the glory of the alliance be with you. I hope you can come back alive."

The man smiled brightly, stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted her: "Thank you for your blessing, the blazing fire will never go out, I wish you all the best."

"Farewell then, ma'am. I hope we can celebrate our victory together someday."

"Of course we will. We will definitely win. Goodbye."

She watched the army leave. When the children around her saw that those ferocious men had left, they gathered around and started making noise.

"Aunt Dean, number 11 has been taken away by them."

"Yes, yes, it suddenly got dark just now. It was so scary. I said she was a monster. Now she must have been discovered and taken away!"

"No, I heard them say that the place No. 11 went to had everything, including food, clothing, and daily necessities! Monsters wouldn't get this kind of treatment. She's going to live a good life there."

"Really? Why can she live a good life while we suffer from hunger every day? I saw that the ball was broken before, and it just happened to be her turn to be fixed!"

"That's right! This is not fair. We should be asked to take the test again."

"Why can a monster like that live such a good life? I don't accept it!"

The headmistress looked down at these ignorant children and frowned, "Shut up! Nothing happened today. Number 11 died half a year ago. If this gets out, or I find out someone is still talking about it, all food will be reduced by half for a week."

The noisy children immediately shut up, but some couldn't help but mutter, "The dean is biased. What's so good about that monster?"

Her expression suddenly darkened, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she said sternly: "Number one hundred and seventy-three, your food today will be reduced by half."

The boy subconsciously wanted to refute, but when his eyes met her cold gaze, he quickly covered his mouth and swallowed the swear words that were about to come out.

A bunch of idiots who only know how to envy others. The Federation is short of resources now. Apart from the front line, where else can there be no shortage of supplies? Those are dangerous and important places. The child is not going there to enjoy herself. The place she is going to is probably more dangerous than the front line, the headmistress thought to herself.

"Do you understand? Nothing happened today."

"Understood, Dean."

The children were frightened by her cold eyes and answered in unison.

……

After leaving the orphanage, the car took them to a large and flat parking lot where many soldiers were stationed. Those people were resting, and from their uniforms and numbers, they were all a team.

The captain took them off the car and instructed the others to assemble the troops and prepare to set off again.

Then he took Eleven to the center, where there was a white airship, surrounded by black military boats and protected in the middle.

Eleven looked up at the giant steel ship in front of him. It was thickly armored and had extremely strict security measures. It was obvious that all the people on board were important people. He once again felt his own insignificance.

The man sent a command to someone on the terminal, and then the door of the airship opened immediately, and the elevator came down. He turned to the girl beside him and said, "Get on."

"Uncle, aren't you going up?" Eleven took two steps upwards, then realized that the person behind him was standing still, so he turned around and asked.

"This is an airship specially for your use. I will escort you in another airship."

"Are we going there soon?"

"No, we still have a few people to pick up. They are special just like you."

"Uncle, will you go there with us too?"

"I will escort you there and then leave with the army."

Go to the front line, kill the star beasts and defend our home.

"Go up quickly, don't worry or be afraid, there will be someone to take care of you in there."

Eleven looked down at the man with tiny scars all over his body, waved at him before turning to board the boat, and said sincerely, "I wish you a triumphant return, uncle."

The man watched the small figure disappear at the door, until he saw the elevator retracted and the door of the airship closed, then he turned and walked towards another military boat.

Good luck to you too, kid.

Hope you survive.

After checking that the door was closed, the staff on the airship took Eleven to an empty room and arranged for her to have a good rest there.

As the order to depart was given, one airship after another rose from the ground, headed towards the next location, and then sailed towards the final destination - the "Cradle" base.

It is the training center of the "God-making Project".

Countless lives will be buried there.

There, too, the future of humanity will be saved.

It is the cemetery where hope is buried and the cradle where hope is born.
