The Wheel of Chronos

Tianyang lay on the ground and rested for a full 10 minutes before a trace of strength gushed out from the depths of his body, and his mind finally woke up from the dizziness.She struggled to get up, got off the powered exoskeleton, walked into the warehouse, hastily dried her body, changed into a set of dry clothes, put on her own powered exoskeleton again, and connected to the Goddess of War system again. Len took over driving.

During this period, Sharon had already submerged the Goddess of War to a depth of 2000 meters, and began to approach the Lemuria continent along the edge of the resistance field.

"Come on, let me rest for a while." Although Tianyang took over the control, Xue Lun was still in control of the Goddess of War, and did not fully return the control to Tianyang.

"After the impact just now, how is the body damaged?" Tianyang asked.

"Fortunately, compared with water pressure, the impact of cetaceans is nothing, and the damage is negligible."

"That's good. I'm worried that the Goddess of War will not be able to hold on. We have to continue to rely on her on the continent of Lemuria," Tian Yang said.

Sharon didn't answer, and the cabin fell silent for a moment.

Sharon drove the Goddess of War along the edge of the resistance field and continued to go directly below the continent of Lemuria. He had to move forward carefully in the gap between the resisting force field and the seabed, and the gap was still shrinking.

"Stop Sharon first, we have to discuss the next countermeasures. If we go on like this, those whales that have been torn into pieces are our lessons from the past."

Sharon stopped the Goddess of War and said, "I think our position has already been exposed. The unusual compensatory ocean current and the group of whales that ran away just now should be affected by Lemuria's mind control. , came to attack us."

"Why don't we use a more direct and destructive attack method to attack us? Such an attack method is too weak." Tian Yang disagreed with Xue Lun's opinion.

"But you can't deny that this is the behavior of the Lemurians. Even if it's not for the real purpose of destroying us, it's to cause us some trouble. Otherwise, how can we explain their behavior?" Sharon asked rhetorically.

Tianyang thought for a moment and said: "I think it may be to drive and lure us, and it must be concealed, so that we can't be aware of being led by others too early, and it can't be too easy for us to arrive, which will make us suspicious. "

Sharon frowned, and said hesitantly: "You mean, the fact that Lemuria sent an airship to retrieve the spies who had infiltrated the empire was entirely a case of the Lemurians leading us to their territory. play?"

"It is very possible, and only this explanation is the most reasonable."

"What are they trying to do?"

"Anyway, they won't be so kind to provide energy for us to go back in time. Lure us to the continent of Lemuria, nothing more than taking a fancy to our special features, such as your ability to go back in time, and my spirit The special feature that the plane is not affected by time regression. As for how they plan to use our abilities, there is no way to guess."

"If this is the case, then maybe they sent spies deep into the mother continent in the first place, and there was a purpose of seduction in it." Xue Lun said.

"Hmm...Sharon, you mean they already knew that someone could manipulate time?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I've thought about it carefully. Only you, the emperor, the empress, and the time-space anomaly investigation team of the Academy of Sciences know about the secret of backward time. I took the initiative to tell you. But apart from you, the Conservative Party, the New World Church They also know the secret of time regression, even earlier than the Academy of Sciences. This must have been revealed by the Lemurians, and only they can detect the phenomenon of time regression, which is impossible for humans today. This kind of ability. Then, since the other party has the ability to detect the phenomenon of time going backwards, will there be someone who can control the ability of time? Could it be that they can predict the future and so on, so they make arrangements in advance."

"This is too... Arabian Nights." Tian Yang was a little unbelievable, and Xue Lun didn't continue to try to persuade her.

After a pause, Tianyang said: "Through the matter now, there is no tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's lair. Since we are here, we are not afraid of the other party's conspiracy and trap. We must go through it." Tianyang clenched his hands Fist, "But we can't get in without thinking. The other party should be able to predict that even if we guess that Lemuria is tempting us, they will not leave easily. They have nothing to fear, and they are just waiting for us to fall into the trap."

"What are you going to do?" Sharon asked.

"Wait." Tianyang replied.

Sharon smiled: "I thought so too."

This is a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.Now that it has been speculated that the other party intends to guide them, they should stop in place now, lest they continue to step into the other party's trap and be too passive.If the other party gets impatient with waiting, he will definitely take action, and then he can follow the trend and turn passive into active.And if the guess fails, it’s okay to wait a while. The time for this mission is relatively sufficient. They are already very close to the continent of Lemuria, and they will definitely enter its border in the near future.

During the waiting time, Xuelun and Tianyang entered a state of rest.Since Sharon suddenly started to go out on a mission at night, she hasn't had a short rest, she hasn't had a sip of water, nor has she eaten anything.Coupled with the consumption caused by the non-stop time backwards before, she was really hungry.Glancing at the body data monitoring, Xue Lun found that she had consumed a lot of fat in just a few hours, and lost nearly 4 kg in weight.She has very little fat on her body, this time the consumption not only took away her little remaining fat, but also took away a lot of energy in her muscles.Right now, she feels very weak physically, and stares are shining in her eyes.

After finally starting to rest, they took out their food and Sharon began to feast on it.Tian Yang was dumbfounded. The always elegant Countess of Spencer, who had been educated by noble elites since she was a child, would actually eat like this. She killed two canned meat in three mouthfuls, and ate three bags of self-heating bags like a storm. fried rice.This is also... too delicious.Tianyang stared at her and forgot to eat, biting the mouth of the drink bottle in a daze.

"What do you keep watching me do? Eat quickly? Aren't you hungry?" Sharon finally slowed down her eating, took a sip of the energy drink, wiped the corner of her mouth, and asked.

"Oh. I'm hungry, but the way you eat is even scarier." Tianyang said weakly.

Xue Lun sighed: "If I didn't eat much in the past, my stomach was too small, and I can't hold it anymore, I can still eat. After a while, I will definitely continue to eat."

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

"I'm afraid the food we brought is not enough for you." Tianyang smiled.

Sharon gave her a white look: "As long as you don't cause trouble for me and make me always go back in time to save you, I won't eat so much."

Tianyang immediately choked on the food in his mouth, and drank his drink desperately before swallowing it.

"Nonsense, I don't have it." Tianyang argued.

"Who wants to be a hero and go out and install a camera?"

"Hey, that's because I'm the most suitable, and it's not suitable for you to go out. What do you mean by being a hero?" Tianyang protested.

"Yes, you don't want to be a hero. I told you to come back quickly. You insisted on staying outside, but you almost lost your life. Did you know that you were almost split in half by the resistance field? My soul was taken by you I was so scared." Sharon said in a bad tone, obviously the previous incident had greatly stimulated her, so that she, who was always emotionally stable, also became angry and complained.

Tianyang didn't know how to argue for a while, so he kept silent.It's just that she didn't hide her grievance at all, and it all showed on her face, like a puppy scolded by her master, dejected.

Xue Lun muttered for a moment, then said in a gentle tone: "Eat quickly, be alert as soon as possible after eating, before there is too little time to react."

Tianyang ate in silence for a while, then began to clean up the tableware and leftovers.

"Don't you eat?" Sharon asked her, "You consume a lot, so how can you just eat this?"

"I'm full." Tianyang said.

Sharon: "..." Is this guy messing with me?

Xue Lun and Tian Yang finished packing together. They put on the powered exoskeleton again and connected it to the Goddess of War system. They temporarily adjusted to enter the rest mode. The seats in the standing mode's front and co-pilot seats popped up, and the two of them sat down and closed their seats. Eyes start to rest.

The time has come to 1 o'clock in the morning on January 11. It has been nearly 3 hours since the multi-tasking burst started at 7 o'clock in the evening. After the sub-airship tracked, they were groping on the bottom of the sea.It's just that in this deep seabed, the concept of time is already blurred. For 8 hours, I don't know how fast time flows, but it feels as long as centuries.At this time, the longitude they were in, there should be dawn on the sea level, and the sun should appear in a short time.Is it sunny?Thinking about it suddenly felt a little far away.

When I lay down, I feel exhausted like a tide, and I can fall asleep immediately when I close my eyes, but everything I experienced just now plays back and forth in front of my eyes inexplicably, like a movie, and my brain is in a state of uncontrollable excitement. It's hard to sleep.

"Xue Lun... are you asleep?" Tian Yang's voice faintly rang in his ears.

"No." Sharon replied softly.

"Sorry……"

"Why are you apologizing?"

"...You said I was a hero, but I reflected on it, and I was indeed a hero."

"You..." Xue Lun sighed, "You know, sometimes I say something insincerely, and I don't mean it in my heart." When she said this, her tone was a little helpless, with a hint of embarrassment.

"Pfft, that's why I said you are arrogant, but you still don't admit it." Tianyang laughed out loud.

Sharon: "..."

"Sharon..."

"Ok?"

"Sharon..."

"Ah."

"Xue... Lun..."

"Why do you always call me but don't say anything?"

"It's okay...I just want to call your name...hehe..."

"What a fool."

After a while of silence, Xue Lun suddenly said softly:

"Tianyang, I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry..."

"I just... feel sorry for you."

"It's okay, I understand."

"Well... thank you, thank you."

Tianyang didn't answer Xuelun again, because her breathing had become long and she fell asleep.

In the deep sea, in the dark night, Xue Lun couldn't sleep with her eyes open, and everything around her ears was silent, only the sound of Tianyang's breathing echoed steadily.She suddenly remembered a poem by Shelley she had read:

"The flower that still smiles today

will wither tomorrow;

everything we would like to save

Fly as soon as you are tempted.

What is joy in this world?

It is the lightning that mocks the night,

Bright but fleeting.

O virtue!How fragile it is!

Friendship is so hard to see!

Love sells poor happiness,

You have to trade despair!

But we still have to live,

Despite the loss of these joys,

And 'our' everything.

While the sky is still bright and blue;

While the flowers are bright;

While all is well with the eyes;

Before night falls;

Oh, while the tide is still;

Dream your dreams and rest,

Wait until you wake up and cry. "

What is the name of this poem?Ah, she remembered, it's called "Impermanence".

The author has something to say: little knowledge:

Percy Bysshe Shelley, August 1792, 8 - July 4, 1822.Famous British writer, romantic poet, first socialist poet, reformer, Plato idealist.Born in Warnham near Horsham, Sussex, England, he entered Eton College at the age of 7 and entered Oxford University in 8, but was expelled for distributing "The Inevitability of Atheism".The Chinese are probably most familiar with his poetic drama "Prometheus Unchained" and his poem "Ode to the West Wind":

"Please scatter my dusty thoughts in the universe

Let it foster new life like a dead leaf!

Oh, listen to this spelllike hymn,

Take the voice of my heart like ashes and sparks

Spread from the fire that has not been extinguished to the world!

Let the trumpets of prophecy pass through my mouth

Wake up the sleepy earth!O West Wind,

If winter comes, can spring be far behind? "(excerpt from the last paragraph of the fifth section)
