Not Cold [Interstellar] - Chapter 78
Ke Wei has been waiting in the bunker for two hours.
He lost contact with Zhong Yue’s warship completely. According to the previous call, Zhong Yue’s estimate of the time was two hours, but he had obviously spent more time on this route.
During this long two-hour wait, Mo Bai appeared in his bunker and disappeared.
Ke Wei put away the things Jin Ran had left him. The gold leaf with unknown function was put in a special bag, and it was put by Ke Wei to try it out when he was ready to break through for a while.
When Mo Bai came to Ke Wei again, his expression was very serious: “The situation is not optimistic. There are more and more zergs in the planet’s atmosphere, and there are even zergs digging holes in the ground to try to attack from the side of the bunker. Even now. All the forces of mankind have come to Desolate Star together, and there is no way to clear the Zerg out.
Ke Wei asked: “How bad is the situation?”
Mo Bai shook his head and said: “It’s already the worst. I just made some arrangements in the bunker… But then, I can only wait for Marshal Zhong to come over.”
Ke Wei nodded, but Mo Bai seemed to have something to say. He looked at the clock letter in Ke Wei’s arms that he fell asleep peacefully, and begged: “Can I hug him again?”
Ke Wei only hesitated for a second to Mu Bai’s request, and then decisively refused him: “He is asleep, let me hold him.”
Mo Bai stopped talking, and didn’t pay attention to the long white hair he dragged to the ground. He just watched the young Zhonghan quietly and from a distance.
The look he looked at Zhong Han was difficult for Ke Wei to describe in words, but he vaguely felt that Mu Bai was silently buried in his heart at this time.
“The last person we came from the black hole was more than 500 people.”
Mo Bai broke the silence and said: “At the last time, there were more than 3,000 people in our ark, but less than one sixth of the people who survived the black hole. Decades have passed and they are still in this world. Only 176 people are alive.”
“how so?”
Mo Bai: “There is a high risk of Zerg gene fusion with humans. Many people die immediately after the gene fusion, and some people immediately transform into Zerg.”
Ke Wei sighed and asked, “How did you deal with it?”
Mo Bai said in a daze: “They are all killed, it was my order.”
“Before we had time to celebrate the rest of our lives, we killed our relatives and friends with our own hands.” Mobai lowered his eyes: “If there is no time to say anything, there will be no chance again. There are so many words in my heart that I can only hope. Only when they come to my dream can I tell them.”
Ke Wei expressed in front of everyone that his grievances that he was willing to turn over this article with Mo Bai were more or less due to a compromise under the critical circumstances at this time. They are surrounded by the Zerg, and it is a wise choice to be unanimous to the outside world.
It was only then that he really felt relieved.
Regardless of whether the way of silence is extreme or not, he set out for the survival of mankind, for the interests of Zhong Yue and Zhong Han. From this point, he no longer doubted.
The shadow cast on the silent white face, blurring the outline of his delicate facial features: “I know that I am not a good leader, not a fighter, nor a good person. After Zhong Han left, I led the last remaining ones. People, groping and surviving in the current world, over the years, I have accumulated very rich resources in all walks of life, which have been transferred to Lan to take care of them in the past few years.”
Mo Bai stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and under the dim light, watching his pale skin, tiny scales had grown.
He said: “Ke Wei, you promise me one thing.”
Ke Wei said quietly: “What?”
“I don’t know if you really have a secret, but I need you to swear to me, to Zhonghan, and to all those who died in vain today in front of Zhonghan-you will no longer be loyal to the Pope, and from now on , You are loyal to Zhong Yue, loyal to the human army, and you can no longer have two hearts.”
This is a heavy responsibility. Ke Wei calmly raised his hands and swore an oath, revealing his unrelenting determination: “In this time and space, I have never done anything that really harms Zhong Yue. I haven’t done anything before, and I won’t have it in the future. “
After swearing, Ke Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Actually, I made this decision as early as my previous life, so I was put under house arrest by the Pope. If you don’t believe me, you can use it in my brain and check it for yourself.”
Mo Bai said softly: “I actually didn’t know how to read mind, because the Zerg gene fragment that entered my body came from a Zerg with hallucinogenic ability, and I realized mind control by this. I don’t dare to use it anymore. , Will dramatically accelerate the assimilation of my Zerg gene.”
He paused before saying, “You keep your promises, and Zhong Han will look at you for me.”
In the third hour, Huangxing finally appeared in the field of vision of Zhong Yue’s army.
It’s just that Zhong Yue has never seen so many Zerg in total in his two lifetimes.
From a distance, the continuous black, impermeable worm wall makes people feel scared from the deepest part of my heart.
The scanned image was sent back to the main ship’s command center. The zergs from the sky to the ground were too dense to separate the levels. It was Lan who personally listened to the Zerg sound waves and manually operated to identify the stratification, which showed them the topographical map of the barren star at this time.
On the surface of the barren star, there is a worm that is particularly eye-catching. According to the returned data, this is a huge zerg whose size is equivalent to ten stories of human buildings.
In front of it and behind it, in the sky and on the ground, there are countless zergs, guarding closely by its side.
“My God.” Hossaron murmured: “I can’t imagine if I don’t see it with my own eyes, there will be such a big bug…”
Lan put down the headset: “It’s the insect king, and he has already come in person.”
Zhong Yue methodically issued military orders one by one: “Catch the thief first, capture the king, let’s explore its situation first. You will continue to pay close attention to the following changes.”
“Yes.”
“Ke Wei?” After the distance approached, Zhong Yue finally had a stable connection and immediately communicated with Ke Wei: “How are you? Can you hold on?”
Ke Wei has just experienced excessive blood loss. Although his body is weak, his will is very firm: “No problem, just come here, how should we cooperate with the evacuation?”
Zhong Yue said: “I will pass the topographic map to you. You are familiar with the situation. Ten minutes later, I will send a stormtrooper to attack the insect king on the ground. If you can smoothly distract the Zerg’s attention, you will find a chance to evacuate from the ground. .”
Ke Wei responded: “Understood.”
In a short period of time, Zhong Yue set out to lay out the battle plan, and he was so busy that he couldn’t talk about it in an instant.
Ke did not receive the topographic map and asked Mo Bai: “What aircraft do we have to retreat?”
Mo Bai stood up: “Follow me.”
They returned to the surface along the corridor, and the Zerg had already smashed the gate, broke into the building, and broke through the third-level structure.
Ke Wei looked at the silver mecha next to the tunnel, and thought of Mo Bai’s alone action just now, and realized that he was preparing for the evacuation.
Mobai said: “In the current state, it’s not safe to use a spacecraft to evacuate. This mecha comes from the future and was designed by Xuanmian 30 years later. It completely relies on the power of consciousness to drive and truly achieves man-machine cooperation. One, you can drive a mech, so drive it out.”
This mech does not have an extra driving position, and Ke Wei frowned, “What about you? The Zergs are so dense outside that the spacecraft can’t fight close to you. You have to drive the mech out to protect yourself.”
Mo Bai shook his head and said, “I’m not a soldier, and I don’t know how to operate mechas. This mecha is dedicated to Zhonghan. I have granted permission for you… You take him away and I drive the spaceship out.”
Ke Wei’s eyebrows jumped: “Si Bai, driving a spaceship out is far more dangerous than a mecha, are you sure?”
Mo Bai smiled faintly: “It’s okay, don’t worry about me.”
Ke Wei instinctively concealed something in silence. He didn’t know what he was going to do. Ke Wei was about to ask, but he heard Zhong Yue’s voice from his personal terminal: “Ke Wei, are you ready? Three In minutes, we will start to attack, you can see the situation and evacuate!”
No longer wasting time, Ke Wei immediately opened the package and took out the gold leaf.
When the gold leaf of unknown texture touches the air, it immediately emits a soft light. Ke Wei wrapped Zhong Han’s body around and opened Zhong Han’s silver mecha.
Mo Bai was slightly surprised: “It actually works, I can’t feel Zhonghan’s magnetic field anymore.”
This undoubtedly created better conditions for their retreat, and Ke Wei’s heart was slightly relaxed.
Just as Ke was not about to enter the mecha, Mo Bai suddenly interrupted: “Wait a minute.”
He picked up his long hair, untied a chain from his neck, and handed it to Ke Wei.
This is a necklace that Mo Bai wore next to his body, hidden tightly in his clothes all the year round.
Having known Mo Bai for many years, this is the first time that Ke Wei has had the opportunity to see its full picture.
The chain is very ordinary, but there are two expensive opal rings hanging at the end, one large and one small, which are just a pair of wedding rings.
As he got closer, Mo Bai stared at the Zhong Han that Ke Wei was holding intently. Zhong Han was already awake, and he was opening his eyes at this time, looking at each other with curiosity.
Mo Bai handed the necklace he had worn close to him for many years to Ke Wei, and said softly, “Return Zhong Han for me.”
He seemed very reluctant, and wanted to touch Zhong Han’s face again, but when he stretched out his hand, he saw the scales all over the back of his hand.
Mo Bai instantly took a few steps back, as if being burned by fire, away from Ke Wei and Zhong Han’s direction.
Ke Wei finally saw it clearly and hesitated: “Are you…”
“Get on the mecha.” Mo Bai returned to his senses quickly. He dropped this sentence and got into the spaceship ahead without looking back.
Ke Wei no longer hesitated and got into this mecha from the future.
Inside the mecha, the communication channel of Silent Bai was connected. Mo Bai ordered: “Report the damage at the entrance and authorize the opening of the organ. Ke Wei, prepare to break through, I will clear the way.”
Zhong Yue, who had entered the atmosphere of the barren star, sounded in Ke Wei’s mecha at the same time: “Charge, fire!”
