I Attained Invincibility In The Real World

Chapter 653: Chapter 364: The Bad News Arrives as Expected_3

“Besides, even if we repel one wave of Subordinates, there’ll be another wave coming.”

“We can’t possibly stay in your world forever.”

“Do you… understand what I mean?”

While talking,

Lu Yang was constantly watching Chen Sheng’s expression.

For some reason,

he seemed somewhat nervous.

“What you mean is.”

Before Lu Yang’s final words, Chen Sheng’s face was still a bit gloomy.

But after he had finished speaking,

Chen Sheng exhaled a long breath.

As if he figured something out.

Then,

he looked at Lu Yang.

“Now, there are only two paths before me.”

“Either I abandon my world directly and leave with the Resistance Army squad.”

“Or, I have to resist the Subordinates all by myself.”

Although Lu Yang didn’t explicitly say it,

Chen Sheng still caught his hidden message.

The Resistance Army doesn’t plan to make futile efforts.

Their primary goal is to take Chen Sheng to join the Resistance Army.

Protect the world?

Not part of their plans.

If he chose to fight for his world, even if it only delayed its destruction,

the Resistance Army,

might be unwilling to help.

“… That’s right.”

Lu Yang’s answer further confirmed Chen Sheng’s guess.

As a result,

Chen Sheng realized that the choice was not multiple-choice.

It was a do-or-die situation.

“If you need time to think, I—”

Lu Yang was about to say something more,

but Chen Sheng interrupted him with a raised hand.

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

As the words fell,

the two locked eyes.

Chen Sheng’s eyes showed no sadness for losing his home,

no fear of facing the Subordinates,

and also no unwillingness to abandon his own homeland and survive alone.

Although he said nothing,

Lu Yang already understood Chen Sheng’s choice.

“Is it worth it?”

“It’s not easy to be a hero.”

He stared into Chen Sheng’s eyes, solemnly asking.

At the bottom of his eyes, a strange expression imperceptibly passed by.

In response,

Chen Sheng just chuckled.

“Hero?”

“I never said I wanted to be a hero.”

“If it really came down to no other choice.”

“If I can’t defeat them, I’ll naturally run.”

“But…”

Chen Sheng lowered his head,

his fists slowly clenched.

Simply hearing the news that the Subordinates were coming,

he was asked to abandon his home,

abandon his friends,

abandon the important people around him, and choose to escape alone.

He had never made such a choice before.

It was like that in the past,

and it would be in the future.

In his eyes, frёeωebɳovel.com

behind the calm coldness like an ancient well, a boiling fighting spirit was surging.

“Flee without fighting.”

“Like a dog that has lost its home.”

“I won’t.”

Finally,

Chen Sheng announced his decision.

His voice still calm,

as if he were merely stating a trivial matter,

not determining his own fate,

not deciding the fate of the world.

“If that’s the case.”

“Goodbye.”

Hearing the answer,

Lu Yang seemed not surprised,

or perhaps,

he had expected Chen Sheng to make such a choice.

The reason he contacted the other party,

was more to ease his conscience.

Taking a long, deep look at Chen Sheng,

Lu Yang’s eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

He didn’t advise,

nor did he wait for Chen Sheng’s response.

He just waved his hand,

and directly disconnected the communication device.

As Chen Sheng’s figure vanished,

he looked at his palm.

There,

a ball of light quietly floated.

It was the light ball given to him by the Leader Zuo Wei, for dispatching the squad.

Snap!

Lu Yang clenched his hand,

and the light ball dissipated.

“It seems he didn’t agree.”

Sensing the light ball dissipating,

Zuo Wei’s voice directly resounded in Lu Yang’s mind.

“I thought you would use your personal connections to dispatch the team to buy time for their world.”

“At least that way, Chen Sheng would be able to save some of his friends and family.”

Zuo Wei’s tone was slightly playful,

as if he hadn’t expected Lu Yang to make such a choice.

“There’s no need.”

Lu Yang knelt on one knee,

even though Zuo Wei had only appeared in voice, he still maintained enough respect.

“Just as the Leader said.”

“A genius who cannot grow is no different from rubble.”

Lowering his head,

gazing at the blood-stained ground,

Lu Yang no longer had the concern and hesitation he had previously shown towards Chen Sheng.

“Chen Sheng…he is stubborn.”

“Even if I saved him this time due to personal feelings, I might have to keep paying for him in the future, which would be more trouble than it’s worth.”

“If he has made such a choice, he is not worth wasting the resources of our Resistance Army.”

His eyes,

were filled with indifference.

“Very good.”

In Zuo Wei’s voice, there was satisfaction.

“What the Resistance Army doesn’t lack is geniuses.”

“Someone like Chen Sheng is just the icing on the cake, not a necessity.”

“Losing him can make you understand what it means to be a decision-maker, so this deal could be considered a bargain.”

“Now that this matter is settled, you can return to Headquarters.”

Upon hearing this,

Lu Yang was overjoyed.

As he had guessed,

the three Leaders appreciated Chen Sheng’s talents, but with their broad experience, they had never taken him seriously from the start.

And the reason Zuo Wei provided him with the light ball for dispatching a team,

was to test whether he was immersed in personal relationships or understood making choices.

This time, going to the Headquarters, he might be able to reach the management level in one step.

Although that meant greater responsibility, it also meant more resources and opportunities.

“Thank you, Leader.”

Lu Yang bowed deeply.

As for the matter concerning Chen Sheng…

It had long been cast out of his mind.
