Chapter 4 My name is Lena van der Mair, codename Butterfly
……
My name is Lena van der Maer, and my code name is Butterfly.
Medicine taught me to save lives, while war taught me to cherish them.
I was originally just a doctor, an ordinary person who devoted himself to researching drugs to treat genetic diseases.
As for the reason for researching drugs, it was for nothing other than myself, for my mother, and for all the poor people in this world who share the same plight.
However, the greedy Hafk Group sensed a business opportunity. They seized the drug's patent and commercialized it completely, turning what was originally meant to save lives into a death sentence that destroyed those families.
My mother passed away, and at the same time, I was diagnosed with the same illness as her. I thought, I should go too.
But I am not afraid of death, because I know that there will still be people who love me on the other side.
So I resolutely joined GTI and became a field medic among those special operations operators.
I want to use my knowledge to save more people, so that they don't have to die young like me.
Red Wolf and the others said I shouldn't go to the front lines because of my health and my illness.
But there are more people on the front lines who need rescue. I am a special operations operative just like them. No one should be excluded from going, and I am not special in any way.
Or rather, I must go, because I am a doctor.
……
Die lay in the closed evacuation point of the space base, recalling her past life.
And what Red Wolf said to her before this operation.
"Lina, the front lines are dangerous, and your illness..."
In a dimly lit conference room, Red Wolf faced a huge electronic screen and spoke in a deep voice.
Behind him stood Butterfly, her expression serious. She interrupted Red Wolf, saying earnestly, "Captain Silva, first of all, please call me Butterfly. Secondly, I don't think my illness is anything to brag about."
I underwent rigorous training, I passed the special operations operative exam, I am a doctor, but more importantly, I am a soldier.
Thus, Red Wolf was moved by her words and agreed to let her come to the front line.
On the very first day that Butterfly arrived at the space base, a fierce battle broke out.
She rushed through the battlefield, rescuing one wounded soldier after another. Those who were critically injured and on the verge of death, or those who had given up on being rescued, were all brought back to life by her.
But by the time she dragged her exhausted body to the evacuation point, the evacuation time had already passed.
She can't leave.
Gazing at the azure sky above the space center, the butterfly's eyes were gradually losing their color.
As a doctor, she knew perfectly well how bad her condition was, and she couldn't wait for her teammates to come back and pick her up.
She won't need the enemy to find her; she'll die soon enough.
In her final moments of consciousness, Butterfly gazed at the sky and murmured, "I know that no matter where I am, you'll always be there for me, right, Mom?"
"Mom, I've come to find you..."
After uttering her last words, Die closed her eyes completely.
……
She didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly she felt that her body didn't hurt as much as before.
Butterfly tried moving her fingers and felt no discomfort.
Am I... already dead?
She opened her eyes, somewhat confused, and found herself in the same spot as before.
But for some reason, Butterfly felt a gaze watching her.
"Mom, is that you?"
……
"Mother?"
Su Chen scratched his head, not surprised to hear Die speak.
He'd already spent six dollars on the device; if it still didn't wake him up, and he was asked to spend another hundred or two dollars to unlock the resuscitation ventilator for treatment, he'd really start cursing.
Fortunately, the game planner of this virtual girlfriend wasn't as insane as he thought.
Hearing Die call her "Mom," Su Chen raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Hehe, I'm not your mom, call me Dad."
next second.
In the game, Butterfly heard a neutral voice that was neither male nor female, suddenly coming from somewhere.
"Call me Daddy!"
butterfly:? ? ?
Su Chen: ...
Not only did Die hear the sound, but Su Chen also heard it.
He panicked immediately.
"No," Su Chen hurriedly said, "I didn't mean for her to call me 'Dad,' I just said it casually!"
But the game doesn't care about this or that; no matter how much he shouts, there's no response.
You can see it in the game.
After a brief moment of distraction, Die came to her senses. A blush quickly spread across her delicate face, and she lowered her head, murmuring in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Daddy."
Su Chen: ...You're really obedient.
But I have to say, the character animations are absolutely amazing.
Butterfly's shy little expression, her head bowed and her hair falling naturally, and the shy yet charming tone in her voice when she called him "Dad" all made his heart flutter.
Su Chen has gone from playing the game with a "let's give it a try" attitude at the beginning to now having a somewhat immersive experience.
He pursed his lips, sensing that Die must have misunderstood.
When Die woke up, she saw that her seriously injured and dying body had suddenly been healed. She probably thought she was dead and that her mother had come to take her home.
Although she didn't quite understand her mother's sudden request for her to call him "Dad," the obedient Die still complied.
But the problem is you're not dead yet!
But the society is already dead, so they're all pretty much the same.
It seemed to sense that Su Chen was somewhat anxious.
The game popped up with a "ding".
[Recharge 6 yuan to unlock the chat function.]
Su Chen remained silent for a moment.
Damn it, what did you just say about why you didn't charge me?
Now that they know there's a charge, they're just waiting for him here.
But I can't not charge it, what if my virtual girlfriend thinks I'm a pervert?
For some reason, after getting the first six yuan, Su Chen's actions of topping up his account were exceptionally smooth, without any hesitation as before.
[Ding! Top-up successful.]
As he made the recharge, several dialog boxes suddenly appeared in the game.
[Dialogue 1: I'm not your father, and I don't have a daughter like you.]
[Dialogue 2: Say it again, I didn't get enough of that earlier.]
[Dialogue 3: Hello, I'm a GTI special operations operator. I just saved you. Who were you calling just now?]
……
Looking at the three dialog boxes, Su Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.
He thought that by spending six yuan, he had unlocked all the conversation features.
As it turns out, six yuan is only the price of one sentence, and it's fixed content specified by the planner, so you can't improvise.
For some reason, Su Chen suddenly felt that there were still more pitfalls to come in this game.
With a blank expression, he dragged the mouse, his hand pausing briefly on "Dialogue Two" before resolutely clicking on "Dialogue Three".
It's clear that he made this decision with great determination.
All you see in the game.
While Butterfly was still pondering her current state, the voice from before appeared again.
"Hello, I'm a GTI special operations operator. I'm the one who just saved you. Who were you calling for?"
Upon hearing this, Die was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?"
