Andorghini's Gift ABO

Holly sat leaning against the porthole with her travel bag in her arms, and a distant red nebula could be seen outside the window.That is the remains of Ursula Starquake in this star field.

He gazed at it with a vague sadness in his heart.

I don't know if it's because he has slept in the vitamin solution for too long, his thinking is very dull now.No matter what stimuli he receives from the outside world, his response is very slow.Sometimes he would forget what he was going to do, and then need to stop there, think for a while, and then slowly recall it.

But there are also some things that always exist clearly in his mind without trying to recall them.

Like a mother's kiss.

"We're going to die, aren't we?" he remembers confirming to his parents.

The father hugged him and his mother, and said in a calm sad voice, "Yes, my child."

Holly was lying on a hospital bed at that time.He had just had an operation ten standard days ago to restore his bodily functions.This type of surgery has been with him since he was ten years old.They salvaged his collapsed body, slowly increasing the life count from 1% to 80%.This indicator means that his immune system and vital organs for survival have basically returned to normal functions, and his physiological functions are close to the level of healthy people.In the future, as long as you take a good rest and don't experience serious diseases and injuries, you can live to the average life expectancy that everyone can live like ordinary people.

His parents wept with joy outside the medical cabin.However, after ten days, their efforts over the years have completely lost their meaning.

The neutron star Ursula started starquakes without warning.The warning came too late, and the level of the starquake was too high.Space distortion and high-energy ray bursts damaged the communication point leading to the outer domain, and more than 500 million people were forced to stay on this planet, waiting for death in the countdown.

Holly doesn't have much fear.But it is because his family is by his side, or maybe because he has been facing death, and he understands the feeling of human beings at the border of life and death better than anyone else.Many times, he felt his consciousness standing in the void, staring at death.Death is sometimes a dream, an endless galaxy, sometimes the smile of a loved one who has passed away... more often it is eternal silence.

His only feeling is sadness.They never saw Xia Dan again.How sad Xia Dan should be.

Mother glanced at the LCD screen that was constantly flashing red countdown, and said softly: "Let's go back too."

Father agreed.They got a small floating plate and let Holly sit on it.

The hospital is mostly empty.The remaining half was a mess.Someone ran in the corridor in a panic, knocking down countless robots; someone was crying in despair in the corner, but the medical robot around him was still gently sending out a reminder: "Please go back to the ward as soon as possible, and today's infusion will start immediately." It's time..."

There are also wards that are quiet.The door is open, and the patient lies peacefully on the bed with his loved ones.The number displayed on the life counter is "0%".It wasn't until she walked through that room that Holly realized that they were all dead.

When they passed the doctor's office, they saw blood dripping from the crack of the door.

Mother covered his eyes.

The planet's atmosphere and gravity system are disintegrating, and the small flying car's autopilot system can no longer cope with this road condition.Accidents are everywhere.The father drove the car home with great difficulty.

Compared with the chaos outside, the home is much more tidy.Flowers in bottles, food and water in the crisper.Of course it's useless, after 1 standard hour, when the gamma ray burst sweeps through here, the whole planet will disintegrate.All organic matter is reduced to atoms, including humans.

Dongqing was lying on the bed, and her mother kept holding his hand, trying to get through Xia Dan's communication.But all in vain, communication has been completely cut off.She quickly gave up.

Father walked in.Holly's head was beginning to sink because the composition of the air was changing.In the mist, he heard his mother say: "...we still have a small spaceship...remember? You used it when you took samples in Jisar's expedition..."

"...It's too small, and its functions are very simple. It's an experimental product eliminated by the military... The ray burst has arrived, and no spaceship can leave here..."

They spoke in small voices, as if discussing something.Holly couldn't hear clearly.

"...at least we're together... oh, it's a good thing that baby Xiadan isn't here..." Finally, the mother joked.

Father smiled, a short laugh, followed by sobs.

Holly opened her eyes to see them hugging beside his bed.Father is kissing mother.

Holly smiled too.Father and mother bent down and sat down beside him together.Holly whispered: "Tell me the story of Andorghini again."

The mother bowed her head and kissed him: "That little thing. They are transparent and soft, swimming in the primordial ocean of Jisar... There are many lives there that are bigger and more powerful than them, but without them, there would be no Such a rich biological community...their existence has improved the environment there, because they know how to use algae to produce oxygen...they are also the earliest life forms of sexual reproduction in Gisar...although they are completely hermaphroditic..." She Regrettably: "We found an endonuclease in them, which can be used to repair DNA damage... It's just that the samples can't be sent out. But it doesn't matter, there will be other people going to Jishaer, we are in the star map It is marked on it, and it has also applied to the Galactic Joint Council for planetary protection..."

"Are they beautiful?"

"Yes, they are very beautiful. If the ocean is a universe, they are as beautiful as a supernova explosion... Equally beautiful, but not so deadly..." My father said: "In short, for that planet, they It is almost a miracle." He said, suddenly thought of something, and opened the drawer.Inside is a sealed box, the liquid lock pops open, and a conical ampoule emits a soft shimmer.

"This is their bodily fluid extract." Father embedded it into an alloy pendant and hung it around Holly's neck: "Let it be with you tonight."

Dongqing touched the pendant, it was cool.

I really want to see it with my own eyes.he thinks.But he didn't say the sentence because it was a sad sentence.

His mother thought he was afraid, and comforted him: "We will become atoms, and then reunite under a certain opportunity to become a part of the star... Or better luck, that star also has an ocean like Gisar , or other environments that allow life to be born... then we have the opportunity to enter a material cycle and become a new life... It may take a long time. But as long as there is enough time, that will happen. Maybe one day you Open your eyes again and think about who you are—and that’s a new life.”

Holly hugged her like a child.

"Okay. That's the end of the story." The room began to shake.She dissolved the tranquilizer that Holly would take before going to bed every day in water: "Good night, baby, we will always be by your side."

Holly took the cup of medicine and drank it down.He said to himself: This is a normal day, as usual.He said good night to his family and got ready to rest.

We will always be together.Father, mother, him.It would be great if Xia Dan was there.

No, luckily she wasn't there.He thought again quickly.Will Xia Dan be unhappy?Xia Dan is always unhappy, because his parents and he have no fixed place to live in the Milky Way, and Xia Dan can only stay alone in the military academy in Quehu.They usually meet on the communication screen.Signals have to travel a long time in the universe, and the received messages are always time-lag.

Holly misses her very much, although she always doesn't like to talk to him because she doesn't want her emotions to be felt.This is where the twins are a little troublesome.

Sleepiness struck, and Holly's last memory was the kiss on her forehead.He murmured: "Dad, Mom, Xia Dan, good night..."

"When can we get there?" Someone asked cautiously.

Holly woke up from the memory.The portholes were gone.The airtight passenger spaceship they were on didn't have such advanced things as windows, it was just a small holographic projection simulating the exterior of the spaceship.They were indeed flying through that sector, but who could tell, maybe something else was in there.After all, passengers can't see outside when they are on the spacecraft.

"It's almost here." Mr. Sharon, the manager who was chewing jerky, said, "We have left the traffic point." He looked very simple and honest, but Holly could feel the well-hidden impatience in his voice .

There are more than a dozen people in the small compartment, both omega and beta.Most of them look like holly, and their clothes are old or even tattered.Passengers will be asked to enter the hibernation pod when the spaceship passes through the traffic point.Now everyone is just waking up, and everyone has sleepiness on their faces.

As if realizing that they were not in good spirits, Mr. Sharon took out a handful of jerky from his backpack miserly: "Eat some if you are hungry."

Holly didn't take it, he couldn't eat it.Mr. Sharon glanced at him and warned: "If you are screened out, you can figure out how to get the ferry ticket back."

"This is different from what was agreed." Dongqing said slowly, "Sir? Our contract..."

Sharon glanced into the compartment to make sure they weren't being noticed by the crowded passengers outside.He approached Holly and warned, "Of course I know about the contract, but you'd better be obedient. You can make money by being obedient, understand? No one wants to use dishonest employees."

Holly was at a loss for a while.It took him a long time to realize what Mr. Sharon was talking about.

He really had no other choice.

Thirty-seven standard days ago, he woke up in a space junk dump.It was an old recycling yard, and the operators didn't have the proper tools, so they had to send the life support module under the shredder for dismantling.The other party said that he had never seen such a strong life-support capsule, and quietly asked Holly if he could give him this life-support capsule—the metal and the operating system can be exchanged for money.

Holly didn't speak.He was unable to speak for a long time, and had been lying in the welfare hospital on the asteroid--the kind operator had sent him there.

Welfare hospitals, as the name suggests, are only hospitals opened for humanitarian reasons.On the asteroid where Holly woke up, it was just a symbolic existence.The only useful equipment in the hospital is a very outdated radiation therapy machine, which can only be used to treat minor trauma.The poor and dying will be sent to this hospital by patrol robots, and then taken care of by medical robots until the end of their lives; or survive and leave here.It is the only free hospital on that planet.

Holly lay there for 15 standard days before her body slowly regained mobility.He left the hospital and wanted to find Xia Dan.However, I don't know where to find it.

The people at the aid station took him for a deranged explorer.The galaxy is vast, and explorers pilot spaceships dedicated to expanding the boundaries of the known star map.It's a high-risk, high-reward business.The death rate ranks first in the list of major occupations in the Seven Leagues.

However, due to the "Basic Social Welfare Regulations", they still found a job for Dongqing - to maintain the cleaning robot in this area.Pay 15 credits when working 30 standard a day.This income is only enough for Dongqing to eat liquid nutrients for three meals and sleep in the warehouse of the environmental maintenance robot.

Dongqing was very confused at first, but finally her consciousness gradually became clearer.He cried, wiped away the tears, and realized that he had to find a way to restore his citizenship first, otherwise he would not be able to use any Internet and communication tools, nor would he be able to buy a transportation ticket to leave this remote asteroid.The municipal staff took a genetic sample for him and told him that he would have to wait 480 standard days to verify his identity. The reason was that it was too far away from Gaia, the administrative center of the Seventh Starfield Alliance.

Before that, Dongqing could only work hard to save money.Then, after he got his identity certificate, he could find a way to find Xia Dan.

She is his only relative.

Once a day, Holly goes to the flight station to check the fare.Fares fluctuated, and he recorded them to find a relatively cheap route.There seems to be a problem with his thinking ability, and sometimes he can't tell the size of numbers.But that's all right, he thought, he can take his time.

Until one day, Mr. Sharon enthusiastically asked him at the flight station if he would accept a job.

Participate in a reality show, as long as 5 standard days, you can make a lot of money.Rich people love to watch this--the real life of ordinary people.Formal company, sign a contract with the legal effect of seven parties... Of course, some screening and inspections must be done before that.

Before Dongqing had time to think carefully, she was forcibly pulled away by this gentleman with a lotus tongue.

The physical examination center looked very formal. At first there were hundreds of people, but in the end there were only a dozen left.Including holly.

They signed the so-called contract, got the first money—500 credits each, and were taken aboard this ship.

The voice of the broadcast was gentle: "Passengers, the spaceship has arrived at Shita-15. Please take your luggage and prepare to leave the ship... I wish you a pleasant journey."

Mr. Sharon clapped his hands: "Okay everyone, take your things and line up, we are going to get off the spaceship..."

Holly walked slowly behind the team with her backpack in her arms.

The flight station of Shita-15 looks very simple, and the sky outside is dim - the wind and sand here seem to be quite large.

They stopped at the corner outside the flight station.A man with a scar on his face came over, followed by a row of ragged men—all alphas.

Holly and the other traveling companions couldn't help leaning closer together, looking at the visitor in panic.Those alphas all looked unhappy, someone made an obscene gesture at them, and the others laughed together.

A medium-sized flying car stopped in front of them, and Sharon began to urge them to get on the car.The carriage was divided into two parts by a fence.The people with Sharon occupied one side, and the group of alphas occupied the other side.

An alpha with silver hair hunched over and walked very slowly.Holly watched in horror as his fingers were dripping blood.The scarfaced man leading the team kicked him, and he staggered.Holly instinctively reached out to support him.

It's not easy.The alpha is so tall that it almost overwhelms the holly.

Someone whistled: "I can't hold it anymore? Little beauty?"

The man whispered: "Thank you." He raised his head slightly as he spoke.

Dongqing met his eyes and couldn't help shaking.

The man had sharp, cold gray eyes.
