Astrolab Reboot [Online Version]

Chapter 4 Escape Battle

Akka was taken into a small combat ship with only one clone pilot inside.

"Take a seat! Fasten your seat belts! I'll take you to the mothership!" the pilot shouted.

Aka remembered that the old man still had something to hand over to General Liebler of the clone camp, so he quickly sat down.Through the hatch, you can see that the sky is full of flames, and the mechanical army swarms out, almost covering the entire sky.

The spaceship shook violently, and Heishi tightly grasped the stable handle above his head. The pilot shouted: "Be careful of your heads!"

The combat spaceship rolled in the air, turned sideways dangerously, and passed through the steel tentacles of the two giant jellyfish spaceships, Aka said: "Can you win?"

"I can't tell!" the driver shouted, "I don't know who the hell leaked the news, the attack plan has been advanced as a whole!"

A-Ka had lingering fears, and the driver said again: "We are going to the heart of the Iron Country! Be careful!"

Aka said: "Don't go! You will die!"

"The mother body is there!" the driver said, "General Liebler is on the front line! There is no retreat!"

A flash of light fluctuated in the distance, illuminating the entire world, and the radiant fireball whizzed over, flooding the entire battlefield with dazzling light.

At that moment, all the sounds disappeared, and the surroundings became extremely calm. Heishi seemed to have seen something, stood up slowly, and walked towards the cockpit.

Akara grabbed him and asked him to sit down, it was too dangerous, but what Akara yelled was submerged in the emptiness and silence.He realized right away that the explosion was so loud it had caused temporary deafness.As soon as he took Heishi's hand and interlocked his fingers, he instinctively felt that there was a power in the light, calling them vaguely.

what is that?For a moment, A-Ka forgot that he was in a dangerous situation, and stared blankly at the things in the white light.

In an instant, the small fighter jet pierced the light ball, the sound returned, and A-Ka saw the environment clearly.

It was an extremely spectacular scene. The mothership of the clone was as huge as a city. It was floating in mid-air, and tens of thousands of fighter jets were scattered, rushing towards the central computer like an overwhelming sea.

The "father" of the central computer stands upright, emitting a dazzling light, and manipulating densely packed flying machines to resist the impact of the mothership.The dark clouds in the sky rolled into a vortex, and the magnetic field split the world into fragmented pieces.

This is the battlefield of the gods, and when A-Ka stood in front of it, he couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, the "father"'s defense base fired a light energy cannon again, and a cannon pierced through the side of the mothership, and the broken parts and steel fuselage exploded, shooting in all directions.

"Be careful!" Heishi threw Aka to the ground.

A high-speed flying part shot towards their engine room, smashing the driver's head in the sound of a sonic boom, blood sprayed all over the cabin, and the battleship shook violently, spinning and falling towards the ground.Akka slid to the rear of the cabin.

"Leave me alone! Get in the driver's seat!" A-Ka shouted.

Heishi understood, stepped on the seat and rushed forward, pulled the driver's body away, and pulled up the joystick.

A-Ka: "Steady, pull back!"

Heishi yanked the joystick, and A-Ka fell to the front of the cockpit again. He quickly sat in the co-pilot's seat, flipped his thumb and fired the machine gun, and laser cannons were deployed around the battleship, smashing all the parts flying like meteorites.

Black Stone: "What should we do now!"

A-Ka: "Can you drive a spaceship?! Fly towards that big guy!"

Black Stone: "No!"

Akka: "Grab the joystick! Quick! We're going to die!"

Heishi roared angrily: "It's so noisy! You can't go in the middle and get bombarded!"

A-Ka only remembered his mission, but forgot the fact that they wanted to save their lives. When he was about to think about it, time did not allow him to think about it.

"Quick, run!" A-Ka said decisively.

However, the violent vibration triggered another cataclysm. The small battleship was thrown out and crashed into the computer tower. Flames erupted outside the cockpit. During the shock, A-Ka slammed headfirst into the bridge, with a severe headache.

The sound of explosions was endless, and A-Ka was dazed, feeling that the black stone was slapping his face.

"Wake up!" Black Stone shouted anxiously.

Aka's forehead was injured and bleeding, and he raised his head in a daze, suddenly shocked.

The two were stuck on the edge of the cockpit, with the sky above their feet, not far from them, the giant mothership was bombarding indiscriminately, and the defense layer trembled violently with the exchange of fire between the two sides, and they would be thrown away together with the battleship at any time go down.

The small battleship was stuck on the tower at an angle close to seventy degrees, and might fall at any time.

A-Ka came back to his senses, and immediately turned on the emergency engine switch, the "broken" alarm light was on, and the energy was insufficient.

"Is the boat gone?" Black Stone shouted in a deafening voice.

"No!" Aka said, "We are on the 600th floor of the central tower, and we will die before we run down!"

Heishi let out a sigh of relief and irritability.

"What now?" Heishi asked loudly.

"There is no energy!" A-Ka shouted, "We must find a way to recharge the battleship!"

How to think of a way?A-Ka looked at the remaining 12% of the energy tank, his face was blank, his mind was buzzing, and Heishi gradually calmed down, and asked A-Ka, "Can we find transportation nearby?"

"No..." A-Ka looked up at the sky. The battle between the mothership and the computer tower entered a fierce stage. In a short moment, many thoughts turned in his mind:

[-]. Abandoning the ship and escaping is too dangerous. Returning to the ground from here is also in the middle of the battlefield. If you escape on foot, you will not be able to run fast at all, and you may be killed by stray bullets at any time.

[-]. It is logically impossible to find a new vehicle. In the city of machinery, almost all spaceships are controlled by "father".

"There is only 'Father' here." Aka explained, "We can't decipher his control over the mechanical flying body..."

Heishi also looked up at the sky, saw countless humanoid mechas shuttling, and asked A-Ka, "Where are those?"

A-Ka said: "Those are the mechas of clones, we can't use them."

Heishi said: "Maybe there are bad mechs..."

Aka: "It won't be fixed in a while! It depends on luck! Find a way to recharge."

Heishi had no choice but to nod. Aka was very anxious. After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked up into the depths of the computer tower and had a bold idea.

"Father"'s energy is available, and there is a spare outlet for charging the mechanical body outside... Aka suddenly had an idea.

"Catch me," A-Ka said.

Heishi held A-Ka's hand, and A-Ka climbed out of the spaceship, looked down, and suddenly his world spun.

"Be careful!" Heishi reminded.

Doing maintenance outside the ship on one side of the spaceship suspended in the air, Aka thought to himself that he was simply crazy... He never thought that such a thing would happen before, and sure enough, when life and death are at stake, people can do anything.

He opened the charging gate on one side of the battleship, pulled out the cable, wrapped it around his waist, and looked left and right—the closest to them, the external interface of "father", was just ten meters away.

However, the entire computer tower is vibrating, and the appearance is flat and unable to use force. How to climb up?

Heishi saw what A-Ka was going to do, and shouted, "Come back! I'll find a way!"

Aka said: "How do you think of a way? Here are extremely hard metal walls!"

Heishi brought Akara back to the cabin, took over the cable, and asked, "How do I connect it?"

"Just put the clip on it," A-Ka said.

Heishi looked around and found a rubber oil pump for dredging the pipeline in the engine, and said, "Use this."

Aka: "..."

That's a toilet that sucks.

Aka said: "No... no, it's too dangerous."

Heishi didn't answer, and rushed forward suddenly, jumped towards the tower, held the toilet to suck, and with a bang, sucked on the side of the computer tower.Aka was dumbfounded immediately, there was a thousand-meter-high drop under his feet, Heishi's body was shaking in the explosion and vibration, and cables were still wrapped around his waist.

A-Ka didn't dare to breathe, and looked at Heishi steadfastly, only to see that Heishi was pressing against the outer wall with one hand, using the friction of his palm to fix his body, and took off the toilet with the other hand to suck it, and quickly pressed it to a higher place.

This is possible too!A-Ka stared blankly at Heishi sucking on a toilet and climbing higher and higher on "Father", both worried and amused.

Heishi approached the interface, hung the cable upwards, and the energy in the cabin reached its peak in an instant, and all the lights turned on.

"Success!" A-Ka roared, "Heishi, come back quickly!"

Black Stone remained motionless, still maintaining his original posture, and A-Ka was so anxious that his voice was drowned out by the repeated explosions.

Oops!A-Ka turned his head again, and saw that the huge mothership stretching across the sky was almost unable to support it, and a dazzling blue light shot out from the tower of "father", piercing through the belly of the mothership.The gust of explosion blew, and Heishi pressed the outside of the docking port with one hand, staring blankly at the cable connector.

The joint glowed with blue light, and a voice echoed faintly in Heishi's mind.It was a man's voice, but it was indistinct.

The charging of the battleship was over, A-Ka roared anxiously, but Black Stone was still stuck in confusion, A-Ka was about to despair.

The mothership in the distance above exploded one after another, and parts fell from the sky and flew.A-Ka gasped for breath, and when he saw a burst of fire that was about to engulf the black stone, a tattered robot rushed from the fire.Aka was dumbfounded, completely unable to believe what happened in front of him.

That broken robot is K!

How did K come here?That's his robot!

K rushed out of the flames, slammed into the outer wall of "father", and then reached out to grab Heishi. Heishi suddenly woke up, with a stunned expression on his face, and was hugged by K again, flying towards the small battleship.

The next moment, before A-Ka had time to think about all the unreasonable things that happened in this short moment, the black stone was thrown into the cabin by K.

"Let's go," said K.

The robot turned around and kicked the small battleship, and the battleship loosened.Aka's scalp was numb, and he couldn't accept the fact that K had come alive in front of him.

"You...K, how could you..."

"Let's go!" The sound on K's body was anxious, and he kicked hard again to help the battleship escape.Then turned around and flew to the mothership.

Seeing that the battleship was about to fall, A-Ka turned around and pulled up the joystick. At this moment, there was another earth-shattering explosion. The mothership broke through the defense layer of the central computer and hit the computer tower of "father".The dazzling blue light burst out instantly, like a tsunami of energy, overturning all the flying machines in the air.

The tsunami of energy radiated out layer by layer like a chain reaction. First, the broken mothership was blown away, and then the ground of the entire country of steel cracked, staggered, and exploded.

Akka has not yet realized that he has witnessed the birth of history and the first major turning point of the mechanical regime in 3000 years.His only thought is: already here, he must save his life no matter what.

All the positioning facilities have failed, he can't see clearly where is the sky and where is the earth, so he can only rely on his intuition instinctively and trust in Heishi's driving.

The huge wave of energy first rushed the entire battleship away, and they became sand and gravel in the tide, and were swept away to a distant place.

In the end, all the blue light disappeared, and in front of him was the constantly rotating earth.

Dragging billowing thick smoke, the spaceship rushed towards a barren plain. It first hit a mountain with its flanks, and then fell off a cliff amid violent turbulence, and then fell into a big river.

There was a loud "boom", and the water rushed in frantically. Aka got up in a daze, grabbed Heishi's hand, and turned on the button of the escape cabin.However, the hatch was stuck.

"Black Stone!" A-Ka shouted.

Heishi was unconscious.

"Damn it!" A-Ka kicked a few times violently, the water flow was getting bigger and bigger, he carried the black stone on his back and looked for the exit everywhere.The black stone is too heavy, as heavy as an iron plate.The two were trapped in the battleship, and the water level was getting higher and higher. Heishi was shocked by the water, and suddenly opened his eyes, put his arm around A-Ka's waist, and kicked his foot. Bottom blasted out.

The two rushed out of the water, were dizzy by the current on the river, and finally climbed to the bank with difficulty.

Aka coughed out a few sips of water in embarrassment, and looked at Heishi, and the two couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha—" Aka didn't know why, he was out of breath from laughing, and Heishi couldn't help but smile, wiped the water from his face, and sat on the stone.

This is a barren plain, and they are still within the borders of the Iron Country.A-Ka observed the direction of the sun and determined the position. The two stood on a high place and looked at the road in the distance.

Thick smoke billowed from the east of the plain, and the final collision between "Father" and the clone mothership caused a momentary space distortion, sending them to a distance of [-] kilometers away from the city of machinery.It also carried a lot of falling meteor-like mechanical weapons, which were embedded in the rock pits of the earth.

A-Ka removed some useful parts from the mechanical wreckage, melted them down in an atomic furnace, and forged a new small wrench.Thinking of Robot K, he had so many questions that his brain would explode.

Why is K there?

There is someone in K!A-Ka came back to his senses, remembering the few words it said to him, there must be a person driving inside.But why does this person know them?Or because of the war, someone accidentally discovered K in the reef cave, and then drove it to participate in the battle, accidentally saving himself and the black stone?

Aka couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought, so he had to give up temporarily.His only thought before was to find a fusion engine for K, but now there are fusion engines everywhere, but he can't use them.

"I'm leaving." Heishi said suddenly.

"Where are you going?" A-Ka asked, and immediately realized that the next conversation must be a repetition of "it has nothing to do with you".

"I rescued you from the sea!" A-Ka said, "and saved your life in the living area! Can't you be more polite to me?!"

"I've saved you several times too, it's even!" Heishi said.

Aka said: "How do you have it? If I didn't bring you out..."

Black Stone and A-Ka stood tit for tat, and A-Ka suddenly realized that the quarrel was meaningless.Along the way just now, without Black Stone, A-Ka couldn't survive on his own, but without himself, Black Stone couldn't find a way out.

"Forget it, don't mention this." Aka said helplessly, "Where are you going?"

"I have a mission." Heishi said.

Aka's heart moved, and he asked, "What mission? Have you remembered your identity?"

Heishi looked into the distance hesitantly, and finally shook his head slowly, A-Ka asked: "What do you remember?"

Heishi said: "No, I just know that I have a mission."

Aka said: "That's it, you don't know what the mission is, where are you going?"

Heishi looked a little irritable, Aka wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Heishi turned sideways and avoided it.

A-Ka didn't bother to talk to the madman, he jumped off the rock and inspected the mechanical wreckage scattered on the plain. After a while, he saw the black stone also come down, walking around in the wilderness aimlessly.

"You are not familiar with this world at all," A-Ka shouted, "and you have no destination, don't wander around! If you get lost, there is nothing you can do!"

Heishi picked up a stone, threw it in his hand, and suddenly threw it into the distance, letting out an angry roar.

Aka vaguely understood Heishi's mood.

A person who has no past, no future, and doesn't know what his name is, that kind of confusion and distress, like a devil in his heart, will make people very uncomfortable.

"Hey, man," said Akka, walking up to him, "don't do that."

The muscles of Heishi's whole body were tense, and after hearing A-Ka's voice, he gradually relaxed, and glanced at A-Ka coldly.

"Where are you going?" Blackstone asked.

"I don't know," A-Ka said with a smile, "I finally escaped, didn't I? The world is so big, there is always a place to go, and you still owe me two lives, why don't you go together."

Heishi said coldly: "I don't owe anyone my life."

A-Ka insisted: "I saved you twice."

Unexpectedly, Heishi shot again in an instant, covering A-Ka's head with his palm.

Aka: "?"

Heishi said lightly: "Once."

Aka: "..."

Heishi took his hand away and covered it again.

"Twice, I saved you twice."

Heishi walked away, and Aka said frantically, "What does this mean?!"

Heishi turned back from a distance and said, "I could have killed you just now!"

Aka was completely speechless.

Three hours later, A-Ka struggled to disassemble a mecha, and Black Stone was still wandering around aimlessly, not coming to help, nor going far.Aka shouted: "Can't you do me a favor?!"

Heishi said: "Say 'please'."

Aka said helplessly, "Please."

With a casual tug, Heishi dragged the entire mech's arm off and threw it on the ground. Aka looked at Heishi, thinking that this man had great strength.But he's neither a clone nor a robot...a clone's blood won't be red, and a robot won't bleed.

This time Heishi didn't leave. He stood aside and watched A-Ka dismantle the parts. He didn't ask or speak until A-Ka assembled a laser gun, handed it to Heishi, and said, "You take this for self-defense."

Heishi looked at the laser pistol for a while, took it, imitated the clothes of those clones, and put the gun on his waist.

"After leaving here, we have to pass through the sphere of influence of the Iron City and head west." Aka said to Blackstone, "Go to a new continent to survive."

"When are we leaving?" Heishi asked impatiently.

Aka patiently explained: "Be well prepared, otherwise you will die halfway."

Heishi said: "You will die, but I will not."

A-Ka said angrily: "You won't, you go by yourself."

Heishi snorted, and suddenly asked, "Are they dead?"

"Who?" Immediately, A-Ka realized the current situation in the city of machinery. He is not sure about the situation of "father", but the knowledge he has learned since childhood tells him that "father" is omnipotent.The computer tower on the ground is only a part of the "father", and the larger fuselage is still buried underground.

Aka was really not sure, so he could only briefly explain it to Heishi. He remembered the chip that the old doctor gave him, so he took it out and studied it carefully. Of course, neither of them could tell why. Come on, Black Stone didn't have the slightest interest in chips, so A-Ka had no choice but to put them away again.

As night fell, they turned on the atomic furnace under the remains of the mechanical body and snuggled up to keep warm.Heishi returned to the river, shot a few mutated fish with a laser gun, brought them back and threw them in front of A-Ka for him to roast and eat.Because these fish grew up in industrial waste water, there were a lot of heavy metal elements in their bodies. Aka only ate a little and didn't let Heishi eat too much, lest the two of them be poisoned, and then hid in the mechanical wreckage and slept.

In the middle of the night, there was heavy snow on the plain, and a northerly wind blew in the wilderness. Aka was shivering with cold, but he didn't know where the black stone went.He shrank back into the mechanical wreckage, trying his best to hide himself in a place out of the wind, the cold was unbearable, and he felt like he was about to freeze.

Just when A-Ka was so cold that he was about to hallucinate, a warm body came in and pressed his back against him.

"Where have you been..." Aka asked vaguely.

"It has nothing to do with you." Heishi replied in an indifferent voice.Aka was so cold that his teeth were chattering, he couldn't stand it, he burrowed into Heishi's embrace, feeling his chest was like a burning atomic furnace, after a long time, he finally warmed up gradually, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, A-Ka woke up from the cold, and when the sun was in the middle of the sky, the black stone returned.

Aka huddled out of the ruins of the mecha, and found that Black Stone was dragging the feet of a clone corpse, dragged the corpse back, and threw it in front of him.

Heishi: "Let's eat."

Aka: "Stop joking! How can you eat people?"

Black Stone: "He is not of the same kind as you."

A-Ka knew that clones were actually a combination of various proteins to human beings, not to mention dead clones. However, looking at the frozen blue-purple face of the clone, he couldn't help it. Eat a creature that is about the size and appearance of a human.

"I...I won't eat." A-Ka said.

"Then I'll eat it myself." Heishi said.

A-Ka yelled frantically: "If you eat this clone, stop talking to me!"

Heishi said: "Why are you so troublesome?"

A-Ka said angrily: "Anyway, you can't eat clones."

A-Ka couldn't accept the process of Black Stone sawing off a "human" leg in front of him, roasting it and eating it.Heishi hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up on the clone's body and looked for other food instead.

They were not the only ones who were swept up on the plain, but unfortunately, all the living creatures in the mechanical bodies containing clone soldiers died.Black Stone removed an arm from the mecha, and tried to swing it, but it was a bit difficult.

Aka said: "Don't bring too big things, do you like heavy weapons?"

Blackstone didn't speak.

Aka couldn't help laughing, and helped him remove a long steel plate, and welded the handle on. Heishi tried it out, swung it with a whistling sound, and carried it behind his back, like a broadsword.

"Let's go." A-Ka sorted out his temporary satchel, which contained a compass, a healing supplement box used by clones, some injection-type stimulants, a portable energy furnace, a wrench, a screwdriver and other electromagnetic repair tools, and a Set of magnetic field generators.

"What are you doing with these?" Heishi asked indifferently, "I can't even carry them by myself."

It was indeed a bit difficult for A-Ka to carry so many things, but he insisted: "The repair tools of a mechanic are equivalent to the guns of a soldier. They will come in handy in the future."

The large expanse of snow on the plain was dazzlingly white. Heishi put on a pair of sunglasses taken from the clone trooper, and stepped into a new unknown world with A-Ka.
