For the peace of the universe!

With the addition of high-level and highly creative mutants, the supposedly difficult work of metal extraction immediately became interesting and efficient. The Academy of Sciences quickly achieved gratifying results under the joint efforts of a group of scientific madmen.

But compared to Meng Yuze's success, convincing his father and the Cook family of the hostile forces is not something that can be done with just a few words, and it will take time.

But worst of all, all of humanity now has no time to waste.

"Doesn't the seventh part of the space plan have a plan to prevent space meteorite storms and planetary impacts? Why can't you follow the plan above and implement it step by step, and you have so little confidence in our planet?" The two old enemies rarely agreed. On the same front, neatly confronting Victor.

Victor propped his hands on the desk, feeling helpless in his heart. It's not that he doesn't agree with his father's ideas, but the older generation is indeed not as aggressive as the young people, and they can't accept that "planet destruction" sounds more serious. Like the setting content of a disaster movie, not to mention the space jump, it may not be possible to find a safe ending. After they leave the earth, the problem they are likely to face will become drifting in space together until the resources Exhausted, all perish.

But sitting and waiting to die is not Victor’s style at all. He insisted: “The plan of the Academy of Sciences is just a plan. None of them can be completed, and this is the fourth plan-the latter plans have not even been tested. It is simply a dream to succeed in the face of a catastrophe. Immediately mobilize the energy of the country, maybe we still have a chance to survive Hope, but if we insist on staying on the earth, then we can only sit and wait for death."

There was a suffocating silence in the office. Henry finally patted his son's arm and silently expressed his compromise. Kano Cook was obviously still hesitating. After all, the results of the two approaches were the same to him. Yes, it is the destruction of the earth. According to Victor Hunter's approach, it is just to give the people hope, and then let them fall into deeper despair, which is meaningless.

"Well, I will order the two plans to be implemented together to give more hope to human survival." Kano Cook took a step back and chose to do both.

But Victor only felt even more disappointed. It is not enough to build a spaceship with all his strength. If some high-end talents are allocated to study that shit "Space Program", how many people can be rescued?

He tried to work hard again, but Kano Cook's eyes made Victor lose the idea of ​​continuing to try. Those eyes were full of confidence in his own judgment, and it was impossible to accommodate other people's opinions.

Victor simply pursed his lips, turned and left. He returned to his office with an almost angry expression on his face. Looking at his expression, Linda easily guessed the result of the negotiation. He walked up to Victor and reached out to meet him. He hugged each other, stroking Victor's back gently.

"I'm really fed up with this group of politicians." Victor said through gritted teeth.

Linda did not respond to Victor's words, calmly took out the message from Meng Yuze, and said calmly but firmly, "We will do it ourselves."

In just a few breaths, Victor had sorted out his mood, returned to his indifferent and tough appearance, and nodded: "I will contact Angus. Ordinary people have nationality, but mutants do not. He Can help me introduce the Federal Academy of Sciences, what we need are more high-end talents than workers."

Linda instantly opened the passageway supporting the space, and smiled: "Mr. Hunter, please come in."

Victor hugged Linda's slender waist, and the two appeared together in Meng Yuze's office in the Academy of Sciences. Angus was not here, but obviously he and Meng Yuze had their own way of contacting each other, and their strong mental power could make them Get the other party's news at any time and any place without any obstacles.

Hearing Victor's words, Meng Yuze almost couldn't believe it: "You mean, my father was against it from the beginning? This is too...strange."

Victor tapped on the table lightly, shaking his head and vetoing Meng Yuze's statement: "Father's position determines that he has to consider more than us, and his approach is naturally more conservative. Although I can't agree with his decision, I can understand him. .How is the academy going?"

Meng Yuze shook his head with a wry smile, and pushed the information at hand to Victor: "It's still the old problem of insufficient manpower. After all, resources are limited, and it's not enough to use them all to build spaceships, let alone a part of them to build ground defenses. The mutants that Angus can control have all been mobilized, and they are working overtime every day, but manpower is limited. Once they cannot concentrate on their experience, there will be a difference between making refined metals and casting equipment. The equipment used for scientific research There must be no difference between the material and the material, so... hey..."

Victor comforted and patted Meng Yuze on the shoulder, his eyes were more determined than his. He raised his eyes and looked out of the window, and a strange smile appeared on Wannian's tense face.

Pinching Meng Yuze's shoulders and turning him to the back, Victor said excitedly, "I think things have turned around."

Meng Yuze looked at the large transport aircraft that appeared outside the window, and asked wonderingly: "Who is that? No one in China dares to fly the aircraft to such a height in front of the Academy of Sciences."

"People in the Federation—I think we are not the only ones who are troubled by the end of the world and the extinction of human beings. Let's go, let's go to receive guests." Victor immediately got up and drove Meng Yuze away.

Meng Yuze's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and the two walked out quickly. Sure enough, as soon as they walked out of the gate of the Academy of Sciences, a young man with clear eyes and a straight back immediately looked at the two of them and took the initiative to walk to the door. Self-introduction in front of me: "I am Kara Mok, and I belong to the first department of the Federal Academy of Sciences. I think we need a quiet place and introduce what I know to you as soon as possible."

Meng Yuze reached out to welcome him into the gate of the Academy of Sciences, and said softly: "Although I know that you are here, the disaster situation in the Federation may be more serious, but I still want to say——I am very glad to meet you."

Kra Mok twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself: "Yes, when you saw me, it meant that there were only a few survivors I brought in the entire federation. To be able to see people alive, It is indeed something to be proud of.”

Victor followed behind the two, and found that Meng Yuze's footsteps had just stopped slightly, and his breathing became a lot heavier. Sure enough, he heard him say in the next moment: "Sorry, when I sent the message, I didn't expect There is such a big error in the calculation."

"No, this has nothing to do with you. In fact, yesterday happened to be the National Day of the Federation's 1000th anniversary. Everyone gathered near Dream City to celebrate. Unfortunately, the disaster there was very serious. The only exception is that I don't like to walk around. The city is also the center of the disaster. If the army had not been notified by the Imperial Academy of Sciences to evacuate in a timely manner, I don’t think we would have a population of [-] million left.” After Kra Mok finished speaking , his whole demeanor showed a sense of exhaustion, but he still tried his best to smile and continue to explain the situation completely, "Those who can survive, except for a small number of people with amazing luck, we try our best to keep those who are outstanding in all walks of life. Contributed talents, including powerful mutants, I think—the empire will definitely not refuse us to join at this time."

"Yes. I don't think there is any reason to refuse. According to the calculation of the rotation and revolution periods, starting at 23:[-] today, how many people will see the sunrise tomorrow? I really have to pray to God." Meng Yuze tightened his eyes. Lips, and then quickly introduced to him the current dilemma faced by the Academy of Sciences and their decision, and said softly, "Go and assign them positions, and start right away."

Unexpectedly, Kara Mok did not leave immediately, but hesitated. After more than ten seconds, he looked at Meng Yuze as if he had made up his mind and made his request: "Sorry, before work, I brought the Most people want to meet Angus, the leader of the mutants. I'm just an ordinary human being, and I haven't even been genetically modified, so I can't order them."

Meng Yuze frowned immediately, and said in an unbelievably loud voice, "They still want a leader when they might die immediately?!"

The man on the opposite side could only be speechless, Meng Yuze stomped his footsteps angrily, walked out of the gate of the Academy of Sciences quickly, raised his hand to the door of the aircraft from the air, and the extremely strong hatch immediately seemed to be rubbed The broken rags crumpled together with a "creaking" sound that made the scalp tingling, and completely lost their original function. He looked coldly at the space inside the hatch, at the human brain hiding inside the large transport aircraft. His voice sounded directly in the middle: "Get out and work for me, otherwise, you will never be forced to come out."

Without waiting for any reaction from the people hiding inside, the metal joints of the large transport aircraft melted directly like a baked wax figure, and large pieces of metal parts fell to the ground, with the sharp point of the people hiding inside. He ran away screaming, but Meng Yuze, who could cause the panic, glanced at them, turned around and walked back to the Academy of Sciences, leaving them in place embarrassed, finally, after a moment of silence, someone quickly chased after them.

God knows, if they don't follow up quickly, will they become completely broken into pieces like the dozens of disintegrated aircraft.

Angus did not know when he returned to the Academy of Sciences. When he saw Meng Yuze, he exchanged a hug with him, and whispered into his ear, "Brother Yuze, you have been really angry recently, and you seem to be very irritable."

"...just to scare, I, can't hurt people." Meng Yuze said in the same subtle voice, silently giving himself a bad review in his heart.

Sure enough, he would never learn to be truly tough in his life.

==========================

Angus reached out and rubbed Meng Yuze's black hair, raised the corners of his mouth and didn't comment. Many people thought Meng Yuze was too soft-tempered, but what he liked was Meng Yuze's soft heart, who could appreciate the tiny emotions in life and make a difference. Touching is... a feeling that Angus will never experience. He doesn't want to take away Meng Yuze's specialness.

"Are you planning to just assign them to jobs?" Angus cut the topic directly.

Meng Yuze looked at him inexplicably, with puzzled eyes, Angus hugged his neck, kissed his lips, then laughed presumptuously, and said happily: "No wonder they want to embarrass you. It's time, a gentle leader will not bring any sense of security to followers. You are also tough and arrogant, and they will feel lucky instead. However, fortunately, the sudden move you made just now has some effect, otherwise the factory now It's all going to be a mess."

Meng Yuze rolled his eyes at him, pushed away the big face in front of him, turned around and walked towards the laboratory with the documents in his hands, Angus quickly followed his footsteps, and tugged at his sleeve in a cautious gesture.

He immediately felt that Meng Yuze's body was not as stiff as before. He smiled triumphantly, and still said pitifully in his voice: "Brother Yuze, I'm sorry."

Meng Yuze stopped and looked at Angus with a sideways face, and took his big hand back, and said calmly: "You don't have to feel sorry, in the laboratory...the things you faced back then, now you don't think about extinction I'm already very thankful for all of humanity. In fact, you didn't do anything - I value your actions more than your words. Do you have anything to do? If not, look after the factory for me, spaceship The precision required is so high that I'm a little concerned."

"Okay." After Angus finished speaking, he took the data handed to him by Meng Yuze and strode towards the factory, then stopped suddenly, turned around and told him worriedly, "Don't stay up late, in the early morning I will I will come, and if I find out that you haven't slept all night again, I will do so at my own peril."

Meng Yuze said perfunctorily, "I will try my best."

Angus suddenly turned cold, walked back and pushed Meng Yuze against the wall, pressed his shoulder, and said seriously: "Your evolution is not perfect, if you don't rest well, I don't know if it will Something unexpected happened."

"Don't scare me, it's useless. There are so many people, have you seen the panicked people on the street? I, we—researchers of the Academy of Sciences—can sleep less for a while, maybe I have a flash of inspiration. What an idea that is sure to be successful." Meng Yuze's voice also showed impatience, and his eyes showed stubbornness, and he stared straight at Angus.

Angus looked at him for a moment, let go of his hand with a smile, and said softly: "Since my brother is so persistent, I won't stop him. As for whether the mutants who help in the factory can continue to be obedient and act according to the decree of the military department, I can't guarantee that."

Meng Yuze's breathing stopped instantly. He stared at Angus. Angus smiled and kissed his lips, rubbed his nose against his cheek, and said gently: "Today you will feel very sleepy, very sleepy. You're going to rest, right?"

"Get out!" Meng Yuze cursed angrily, but the forbearing expression on his face showed his softening.

Angus waved the information bag contentedly, and finally left the corner. Meng Yuze turned his head, frowned and wiped his saliva lips. When he looked up, he met the eyes of the researchers who had been running out behind him. , the atmosphere became extremely awkward in an instant.

The researchers turned their eyes away one after another. Instead, Dean Camry gave a "hehe" laugh, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and teasing: "Young people, you should express your emotions more intensely." , let’s go back to the lab. Oh, by the way, Victor told me while you were kissing that he still had something to deal with, so he left first.”

Meng Yuze coughed a few times in embarrassment, nodded, and led the researchers back to the laboratory.

Facts have proved that Meng Yuze's worries were not overthinking at all. That night, most cities in the empire ushered in a meteorite storm that they would "unforgettable for a lifetime"—if their life hadn't ended in a meteorite storm.

"The damage was worse than I imagined. Even most of the houses made of new materials were crushed and collapsed. What's worse, many large meteorites directly smashed the load-bearing parts of the buildings when they fell on the ground, causing The house collapsed, and some people hid in villas in the outskirts, as if the low population density was safer there, and then they were crushed to death in the basement." Victor threw the report on the table in the conference room On the table, looking at a vacant seat in the conference room with a serious expression.

He raised his arm and pointed to the empty seat opposite, and said in a calm voice: "Even high-level members of the military department died in this disaster, do you still insist on your own opinions? The power of nature has never been something that humans can resist. The choice to leave the earth!"

Old Henry just looked at himself, and didn't raise any disagreements, but Kano Cook obviously still wanted to say something, Victor interrupted his speech directly, and said bluntly: "Please pay attention to the third The disaster forecast on the page. The meteorite storm that happened the night before is just the beginning—things will only get worse, and the pause time between meteorite storms will gradually become shorter until they are completely connected."

"It is said that the Academy of Sciences is also within the scope of the meteorite storm, but they have not suffered any losses. If the mutants work hard, they can completely set up a safe line of defense, instead of making these time-consuming and labor-intensive efforts." Kano Cook finally made his point annoyingly.Apparently, the results were also very pleasantly surprised. The attendees who were originally shaken now turned into hesitant expressions again.

Leaving the earth is obviously the worst choice, let alone whether you can survive, at least leaving here means that all existing power positions will be wiped out, and it is no different from others. "Struggling all over again" sounds very good. Spirit, but few people are willing to taste the hardships.

Victor raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Kano Cook sarcastically, and said coldly: "About your question, the Academy of Sciences has already given the answer, in fact, after three days, all mutants will be They will be powerless to deal with disasters, and the only place they can protect is the Academy of Sciences—what about the remaining tens of millions of people in the empire? Do you want to watch them die?"

The audience fell silent for a moment, embarrassment filled the faces of people who were shaken, and they could no longer say any objections.

=============================

Victor didn't show any complacency. After getting the result he wanted, he left the meeting room silently. Linda followed him and left together. He quietly raised his hand and reached for Victor, who was instead Grab first.

"I can still hold on, but...Linda, our daughter, she hasn't grown up yet." Victor's voice was dry, and from the moment he spoke, he knew that the next content would be very exciting Difficult to accept.

As expected, the palm he grasped became stiff, and Victor couldn't help but exert more force, fearing that Linda would make the decision he was afraid of, but Linda broke free even harder, Victor was disappointed for a while, and then relaxed the grip on his hand. strength, but what surprised him was that he held his palm with his backhand.

"Did you just think of this problem? I thought you noticed it from the beginning. You are too careless and don't care about us at all. I'm so angry." Linda said softly, standing behind him and resting her forehead on Victor's shoulder , rubbed gently.

Victor didn't know how to answer right away. If he said "I haven't noticed", then Linda's words were implemented; but if he said "I have noticed it a long time ago", then he was deliberately delaying time to scare Linda, it seems... Also very scum.

"...in the beginning, I was really sad, this is the first time I want to have our baby. But, she still has it, it's only a few weeks, and it hasn't shown a baby yet, give up..." Linda He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and left a tear, and continued to say softly: "It's not that difficult to give up. Let's wait until the future is stable, and we can ask for another one."

Victor straightened his back and stood there silently feeling the wetness on his shoulders. He grabbed Linda's palm without saying a word. In fact, he didn't know what to say. Things were so hectic that even the nationals There is no way to transfer all of them. It is naturally impossible for the embryos in the hospital's artificial uterus to be transferred together with so many equipment that occupy too much space. He can't do it too selfishly for an embryo that is not yet a "human".

Time seemed to be frozen, Linda rested on Victor's shoulder for a while, and slowly recovered, feeling the warmth and strength from the clasped hands, Linda's mood gradually calmed down, he stretched out With free arms wrapped around Victor's straight waist, he finally made a decision.

But there was a smile on his face without hesitation, hiding his emotions, and said softly: "You go to work first, I will go to the hospital to deal with this matter."

Victor turned around and looked worriedly at the smile on Linda's face, then suddenly squeezed his shoulders hard, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Linda, it's already five weeks old, don't take the risk of transforming into a female body , Move it into your own stomach. The hormones in your body cannot instantly reach the water bottle suitable for gestating embryos, that is too dangerous, we can have no children, but I cannot live without you."

"I know." Linda said with a smile, his eyes looked a little annoyed, obviously blaming Victor for his cranky thinking.

But Victor didn't feel like he was thinking too much at all. He stared into Linda's eyes and said every word: "I swear on my life."

The smile on Linda's face collapsed in an instant, and he punched Victor on the left side of the face with his fist, breaking the corner of his mouth, and shouted unbearably: "Why are you doing this!"

Victor stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, and was so stimulated by the pain that he suddenly let out a "hiss—" inhalation sound, but he smiled on his face, held Linda in his arms, and gently massaged Linda on his back. She caressed: "I'm relieved to lose my temper, boy, don't risk yourself. ... Anyway, there are Yuze and Angus in the Academy of Sciences. I think, let's go see our first child off together."

Linda raised her head and bit Victor's lips fiercely until the taste of blood filled their mouths. Finally, she let him go and nodded, her eyes regained her composure.

The two entered the central hospital hand in hand, watching the tiny embryos in the artificial womb, each speechless. In the end, Victor grabbed Linda, forcibly pulled her out of the cultivation room, and shut off the nutritional supply of the artificial womb.

Before the announcement of the doomsday, this was against the law, but now, it is what the doctors in the hospital prefer to do for the parents of the fetus—knowing that there is absolutely no chance of survival, so they can say goodbye to their biological parents , is also a way to make up for regrets.

"Next time, can I get pregnant myself? In this way, I won't lose her." Linda whispered, and Victor kissed his lips.

"We'll have many, many children," Victor promised.

But Linda punched him hard again: "Anyone who says they want to go home and have a baby will end badly. Shut up!"
