Lucas' face changed slightly.
Who else in the group could hack into his computer like this?
"Edison?"
Lucas quickly sent a message.
And soon he got the reply.
"Lucas, it's me."
Seeing the reply, Lucas missed his team members.
"You don't know how to have a chat with me? Why do you hack into my computer? What's wrong? You want to compete with me in the Trojan horse program?"
Lucas typed quickly.
Edison paused for a moment, and then replied, "Lucas, I have some bad news for you."
"It's almost New Year. Can you tell me some good news?"
Lucas felt that Edison was really funny.
However, Edison directly converted the words into black and white fonts and said heavily, "Lucas, our team member Lexie died."
Lucas was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
As one of their team members, Lexie was also the only girl over eighteen years old. Before Lucas joined the team, Lexie was the team leader. Later, given that Lucas had greater computer skills, Lexie stepped aside, but she still took care of others.
In Lucas' impression, Lexie had a warm heart, mothering and loving them.
How could she die?
"What's going on?"
Lucas noticed that his hands were trembling.
Edison burst into tears and then directly made a video call to Lucas.
Seeing Edison crying, Lucas felt sad.
"Don't cry. What happened?"
As Lucas roared, Edison immediately stopped crying and said with a tremble, "Lexie's father was a special forces soldier. He was shot abroad in a peacekeeping operation not long ago. He was caught while protecting others. The terrorists took him hostage and threatened us to withdraw. Lexie got the news and secretly went over there. She hacked into enemies' computers to confuse them. However, she was discovered soon and shot to death. Lucas, they said that Lexie lost a lot of blood and her body will be airlifted later. Boss asked us to go to the airport together to bring Lexie home. "
Edison cried as he said.
Lucas' eyes were teary.
Blood!
Recently, Lucas always dreamed about something red.
However, he never thought that his teammate would lose her life on the battlefield.
Tears slid down from his eyes.
"I'll be right there. Shut up and stop crying! We are proud of her. She's a hero and martyr! She's going home. We can't welcome her home with tears."
Lucas' voice was hoarse and depressive.
Edison tried his best hold back the tears, but he really couldn't do that.
Lucas hung up the video chat and lay on the computer desk with his shoulders trembling.
He could never see his comrade who once fought together with him again. After she was buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery with the national flag, there would never be a lively girl called Lexie.
Lucas' heart was extremely heavy.
At that moment, he finally knew the bloodiness of the war. Even in peaceful times, there were still many people sacrificing themselves.
He remembered the fear he felt when he opened fire. But at this moment, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
That terrorist deserved to die!
Sam violated the law and threatened his parents. He was an unforgivable villain.
But Lucas was the warrior of the people.
Behind him stood countless unarmed civilians.
They couldn't shoot and had no right to do so. They were the most vulnerable group at war. But he was a soldier.
It was his duty to protect people.
He just shot him. So what?
That was his duty!
Lucas suddenly seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and those heavy and oppressive feelings were also turned into motivation for him to move forward.
Raising the head, he wiped away his tears and quickly changed into his clothes to go downstairs.
Samuel and Nicole had just packed their things and were about to call Lucas. Seeing Lucas dressed in a military uniform, they were stunned for a moment. .
"Lucas, what are you doing?"
"I am going to the airport. Mommy, can you drive me there? Or Samuel? My teammate is back home. As the team leader, I'm going to welcome her back."
His eyes still brimmed with tears, but were firm and stern.
Nicole felt her son was different. She couldn't tell the difference but Samuel could.
Lucas grew up.
He seemed to have learned a lot overnight, and became even more restrained.
"Your comrades died?"
After experiencing so much, Samuel understood the sadness hidden in Lucas' eyes.
Lucas almost couldn't hold tears back and nodded hurriedly.
"I'll take you there."
Samuel put down the work in his hand.
Nicole was a little worried.
"I'll go with you."
"I'll go too."
Joseph followed and said.
Hearing it, Samuel nodded and walked out of the Green's with them. Or he would be worried if he left them at home.
Lucas didn't say anything along the way.
Nicole nudged Samuel worriedly and asked in a voice that only the two could hear, "Is Lucas showing his second personality?"
"No, he's very normal."
Samuel glanced at Lucas and found that he was looking outside with sadness.
