Chapter 857: Chapter 102 Lin Yu
Yang ngying is Lin Yu’s daughter.
Lin Yu’s husband is surnad Yang and also ca from the Republic. Comrade Yang, in his childhood, once suffered from the malignant cancer, leukemia. Although he eventually recovered and stopped taking dication, the cancerous cells in his body are certainly higher than those in a person who never had cancer. This posed a significant risk of recurrence of malignant cancer if he underwent the “immune destruction” surgery.
This enormous risk made him give up on the Standardization Modification Surgery.
Lin Yu being able to et him was, in so sense, quite fortunate. In this era, a pure-blooded Homo sapiens faces quite narrow prospects in choosing a mate. While Homo sapiens and Benchmark n share the sa personality, their physical conditions differ greatly. Just a montary warm touch between them poses a risk of low-temperature burns for Homo sapiens.
Indeed, love is not solely a physiological need, but for many, “physical contact” also forms part of emotional needs.
It is difficult for Homo sapiens and Benchmark n to mutually choose each other.
At this stage, only a small fraction of Homo sapiens remain globally. In such a small group, finding soone who happens to match one’s preferences is extrely challenging.
Hence, when Lin Yu found her other half, everyone was very happy back then.
Comrade Yang also had great awareness. After Lin Yu, he learned the truth and began to assist Xiang Shan and other first-generation Heroes in doing so things within his power.
It’s just that Yang ngying was too young, so Lin Yu never let her get involved in such matters.
When talking about Yang ngying, Lin Yu’s expression was very proud and happy, but there was still so worry between her brows.
Before leaving, Lin Yu said to Xiang Shan, “Uncle Xiang, how long will this battle last?”
Xiang Shan was silent for a mont: “I can’t promise. It could be ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years… I really did overdo it in the past.”
Xiang Shan said self-deprecatingly.
Lin Yu sighed: “In a few more years, ngying will be eighteen. On her eighteenth birthday, I plan to tell her the truth, including what we’re doing now.”
Xiang Shan nodded: “That is your right.”
“Additionally, there’s one more thing. At that ti, I want her to choose for herself whether to beco a Benchmark Man or continue being a Homo sapiens.” Lin Yu asked, “Can I ask Uncle Yawgmoth to perform the transformation surgery for her? Using a version without backdoors.”
“Ah, of course.” Xiang Shan hesitated for a mont after nodding, and then carefully asked, “I thought you were quite opposed to this… to this.”
Lin Yu nodded: “After all, my mother lost her life because of this surgery.”
“That was an unfortunate accident,” Xiang Shan imdiately said, “No one wants to see such a thing happen.”
Lin Yu still nodded: “Yes, I understand that. I don’t intend to beco a Benchmark Man, but ngying has the right to decide for herself. Besides… the technology is much more mature now, right?”
Xiang Shan nodded: “If we prepare the equipnt and materials in advance, Yawgmoth can quickly recreate the version of the genetic surgery without backdoors.”
Lin Yu smiled slightly: “Then I’m relieved.”
Xiang Shan said: “Girl… what about you?”
“?”
“You still have ti now.” Xiang Shan’s expression was quite serious, “Since you’re letting ngying decide for herself, it ans you acknowledge the benefits of becoming a Benchmark Man, right?”
“Physical capability, lifespan, and the potential for further cybernetic transformation…” Lin Yu nodded, “More importantly, they are now the majority in this world.”
“Since you understand, then why not…”
“Uncle Xiang.” Lin Yu asked, “In your eyes, why do you think I don’t undergo this surgery?”
Xiang Shan hesitated for a mont and said, “You… you’re holding a grudge against your father, right? But what happened back then was an accident…”
Lin Yu sighed: “My father… Initially, there was that factor. Father let my mother join when the technology was still immature… that’s how I see it. And when my mother passed away, he was so ek, unlike an adult. Every ti I communicated with him afterward, I felt whatever he did was wrong… indeed. I did think that way. But that’s a long ti ago.”
“Then why… If you don’t undergo this surgery, you’ll only have three or four decades left. You will leave us all sooner—if we don’t die in battle, that is. The surgery still has age requirents… if you don’t do it now, the success rate will only decrease.”
Lin Yu looked at her now-wrinkled wrist: “I might regret it… I can indeed feel myself aging now. My body is deteriorating. I will grow old before you guys.”
“So…”
“But, I’ve accepted my current life.” Lin Yu said, “Yang is not only two years older than but also had leukemia in his early years. Even Uncle Yawgmoth couldn’t overco a problem that hasn’t been solved before under such conditions, right?”
“But… he…” Xiang Shan was sowhat troubled. He felt it was simply inappropriate to say “love is not everything in life” now. After thinking for a long ti, Xiang Shan said, “But your father? He also loves you very much. He doesn’t want to lose you…”
Lin Yu did not directly answer, but instead asked back: “Then what about what we’re doing now? If I accept the surgery, this line will have to be severed. This place will definitely be exposed.”
Xiang Shan was speechless.
At this mont, Xiang Shan truly hated himself for always calculating the gains and losses in his heart.
“My father… Dad will surely find new great things to do, I think he definitely will. My life, though short, is still aningful, right? Like what we’re doing now.” Lin Yu smiled, “This is also the lifestyle I chose for myself. My husband and I will slowly age together—maybe in your perspective, it’s happening quickly. But for us, this is enough.”
“It’s just that we don’t have the right to restrict ngying’s choice. When ngying turns eighteen, let’s let her make her own choice.”
“Sotis I really don’t understand your mindset…” Xiang Shan scratched his head.
Lin Yu smiled: “If Uncle Xiang ever becos a father, maybe you’ll understand.”

[mory Verification Ends]
The “Shooter” Xiang Shan awoke from the dream.
Or rather, finished the “mory file retrieval” process.
At this mont, he had already searched through the most important mories about the individual “Yang ngying.” The explosion sound woke him up.
