rainy night talk

Although they had only separated for a short time, when they met again, Chen Zhen felt that the two of them seemed to have experienced centuries, and thousands of words were hidden in the silent care and silence.

The messy pictures flashed before his eyes. Through William's perspective, he saw what he had never seen before, and he also heard what he had never heard before.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces passed by, Louis, Zhou Yan, and even Maslow, all clearly appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Zhen gradually revealed a surprised expression from the confusion, "I always thought... "

"It was never a coincidence that we met." William interrupted. He pulled down the hand on his profile and clenched it tightly. He wrapped Chen Zhen's hands and said with downcast eyes: "As early as star calendar 107, I was in Someone told me about your existence when the Stark District performed a mission."

Chen Zhen remembered the time that William had unconsciously confided.

"One day, on the way to hunt down fugitives, I boarded the passenger ship you were on. I was shocked. You are so like him, I have imagined many times, what would it be like if he was still alive? The moment I saw you, I realized how pale all my assumptions had been so far."

Chen Zhen's memory overlapped with William's description.He did get caught in a mass escape, but at the time he was so absorbed in the time-explosive weapons the fugitives were holding that he ignored the rescuers.

It turned out that they had met so early.

"Did you know my identity from the beginning?"

William shook his head, "No, I know that child is dead, you won't be him. I didn't want to get to the bottom of your origin at first. It doesn't matter who you are, what matters is your existence, which means a lot to me. The same meaning. I saved you, I am happy for it, I finally have the courage to say goodbye to my incompetent self in the past, I have a small goal: I want to meet you again, and before that, I must become become a better person.”

The gap in William's character was finally filled, and Chen Zhen finally understood where William's inexplicable familiarity with him came from.Before he knew it, he had already been charged with heavy emotions.Chen Zhen felt a slight tingling pain in his chest, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of bitter wine, the aroma was clearly wafting, but what was left behind was an indescribable bitterness.

Just as Chen Zhen was about to say something, the cab suddenly fell into darkness. Only a second later, the backup power was turned on, and then all the screens in the cab jumped out with glaring red letters—alarm: the self-explosion system was activated.

Emily's urgent voice sounded, "Louis? Louis?! Can you hear me? What happened?"

At this time, an image of Louis jumped out in front of a screen. His clothes were a little messy, and someone's blood was stained on his face. He directed at the camera and said fiercely: "Those miscellaneous soldiers woke up earlier than we expected. , They started the self-destruct, we were put together, we should have killed them instead of knocking them out!"

With the reversing camera, the picture of the lower floor was displayed in front of the three of them—the walls in the cabin were already in tatters, blue electric sparks splashed out from time to time, and it was obvious that there had just been a fierce battle here.Emily frowned and said, "It's too late to say this now, what should we do? By the way, where are Dawson and Lee?"

"They went after those humans. By the way, they seem to be driving a miniature ship that someone drove up." Louis pointed out.

The hostility and anger in Louis's eyes couldn't be more obvious. Chen Zhen couldn't help standing in front of William, and changed the subject: "Is the remaining mechs enough for us to leave?" The activation of the self-destruct system seemed to stop the engine. Seeing them being pulled back to the surface of the planet on the screen, Chen Zhen became worried, "Is the gravity of this planet too strong?"

Emily: "Enough, our teammates drove away two, so there are two left."

"Can't leave." William said suddenly: "With the current acceleration, the self-destruct will start after the starship passes through the atmosphere, and the reactor will destroy everything on the planet by then."

Pollution... Looking back at that beautiful planet, Chen Zhen couldn't imagine how it would be corroded by radioactive substances. This place will soon be the new home of AI, and it cannot be polluted.

"The engine had to be restarted," William said.

At this time, Louis also ignored the grievances with William, and immediately acted, "I'll go to the engine room to have a look."

"I'll go too!" Elemi found a control panel from a driver's clothes, and hurried out.

William's hand quickly passed over the console, but the moment a new dialog box popped up, the red alert immediately took back the main screen. "Damn it!" William hammered heavily on the countertop, and a dent was made on the metal surface due to the heavy load.

"let me try."

The scarlet number occupied the line of sight, 169 seconds, as the time counted down, Chen Zhen's mind went blank for a moment, and all the theoretical knowledge was in a mess in his mind.

Calm down, calm down.

Chen Zhen kept saying to himself, looking at the interface, dozens of different solutions emerged in his mind, but he didn't know which one would work.This kind of anti-locking system he has seen before, there must be a breakthrough, as long as he tries...

"I can crack." Just give him time...

Chen Zhen tried to calm down the equally anxious William, but William stared at the rising speed of the starship and said:

"No, it's too late."

William suddenly thought of something, he squatted down and reached out to grope under the control console, then grabbed a board hard and pulled the steering column out.

"what is this?"

"The auxiliary engine at the bottom of the starship is usually only used to correct the course during the flight, but there is no way to do it now." As he said, he clenched the iron rod with both hands, and pressed his legs against the console. With a sound, he pulled the iron rod towards himself, "Hold on!"

In the next second, Chen Zhen felt a dizzying ascent.

The huge gravity pressed Chen Zhen to the floor, and the starship began to rise. The dizziness made him breathless, and he tried his best to glance up at the screen.

"Can't you go any faster?"

With a sullen face, William locked the steering column.His face turned pale, he shook his head and said, "I can't."

If you can't get rid of gravity, the reactor will still fall back to the ground.Chen Zhen turned over and crawled towards the door of the cab with the weight on his back.

"What are you going to do?" William yelled.

Chen Zhen: "We still have mechas!"

William immediately realized what was happening. He stood up with better physical strength, walked over and helped Chen Zhen up, "Let's go."

The two soon arrived at the dock, and Louis and Emily appeared almost at the same time.

"The authority of the lower layer has also been locked. Now we can only rely on the mecha to accelerate the starship." Louis opened the cockpit of the mecha and said, "However, the power of the mecha is limited, so we can only accelerate it through a second separation."

Emily also turned on her mecha, "The first cosmic speed here is about 9.9km/s, how much time is left for self-explosion?"

Chen Zhen said: "132 seconds, 7.96km/s primary separation, secondary separation is..."

William answered immediately: "8.15km/s."

Chen Zhen frowned, "In that case, the mecha will only have 3 seconds left to leave the starship, not enough time."

"It's enough." William cast a reassuring look at Chen Zhen, then turned to Emily, "Give me a mecha, and the three of you will be separated as a level one."

Louis glanced around William, and snorted dissatisfiedly, "I'll leave it to you, Starship Captain." He motioned for Emily to board his mecha, and then shouted to Chen Zhen: "Chen Zhen Zhen, come up!"

Chen Zhen didn't move, he grabbed William, his sense told himself that William was not as sure as he seemed, and even in the bottom of his heart, William himself was hiding a trace of fear.

"I want to be with you!" Chen Zhen held William's hands, "I believe in you, I believe you can bring us back to the ground safely."

William laughed, but it was an ugly smile, "I can't put you in danger, I know I'm actually a coward, as long as it's about you, I become cowardly, and because of cowardice, I'm so cowardly again and again. I missed the opportunity to pursue the truth so much that Maslow took advantage of it. Do you remember what I told you about you and Louis when you were young?"

Chen Zhen nodded: that was on their way to Atlanta.

"That was supposed to belong to me and that child's story, but my anger was only aimed at Louis... Maybe you are right, although I think I have clearly distinguished you from that child, but many times I have It's confusion. I'm sorry, I was a self-defeating coward who sought redemption from you...and now, it's time for me to make amends."

It was too late when he discovered Louis' anomaly, and his previous deal with Maslow looked more like a joke.William lowered his head and rested his forehead on the hands of the two, as if in repentance.

Chen Zhen's heart became entangled. Facing William like this, he could no longer say words of rejection.

Chen Zhen stared at William's hair swirl, and suddenly had an urge to touch it, and he did.Passing through the slightly hard but smooth hair between his fingers, Chen Zhen caressed lightly and slowly, feeling the guilt and fragility of the other party, he stroked patiently and comforted the other party. "I don't accept your apology." Chen Zhen immediately felt the depression of looking at William, and he couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth - he had already begun to enjoy this feeling of controlling his emotions.Chen Zhen went on to say: "You haven't fulfilled your promise. I will never forgive you until the promise is fulfilled. And since I am the beneficiary, I think I have the right to revise your promise."

William raised his head in surprise, his eyes seemed to be filled with sea water, and following Chen Zhen's words, great joy emerged.

Chen Zhen looked at him and said solemnly: "I hope you can follow the direction guided by fate and walk straight into my heart with firm will, regardless of identity, time, life or death." Falling a kiss, "Promise me, you must come back."

William looked back deeply and promised, "I promise you."
