[Rebirth] Alien Royalty

Chapter 42

Luna gritted her teeth: "I don't understand what you mean, I just found something strange and went out to inspect it."

"Have you been patrolling for so long?"

Just received the text message, Brandy projected the picture from the monitoring room with a holographic screen.

In the picture, in a corner where the streetlights cannot illuminate, a woman is hiding in the dark with a man wrapped in a blanket on her shoulders, looking as if she is checking the surrounding situation.The figure is in the lower right corner of the screen, so you may not be able to spot it if you don't look carefully.

"Looks like you still haven't dodged all the cameras."

Luna tightened her hands, confronted the silver-haired man silently for a moment, and admitted: "That's right, I was the one who took Bazel away."

"So, where did you take him, and why did you act without authorization?"

"Can't you guess why I want to take him away?" Luna asked back.

"I really can't guess, among the few of us, you have always been the one who obeys Arnold's orders the most," Brandy frowned, "Arnold wants Bazel to live."

"But he never told us the reason why he wanted Bazel to live, didn't he!" Luna said excitedly as if she had exploded all of a sudden, "Arnold's order must be correct! If he What if you destroy this entire base for your own selfish desires, do you want to be homeless too, Brandy!"

There was a trace of surprise in Brandy's eyes.

He adjusted his glasses and said: "...Although I also guess that what Arnold wants from Bazel may only be related to him personally, but I think the three of us agree to give priority to Arnold's ideas .Without him, we would not be where we are today, have you forgotten?"

Luna lowered her head, bit her lower lip tightly, trembling slightly.

"I used to... I did think so... But the premise is that I thought that Arnold put the base first. Without Arnold, I wouldn't be where I am today... But I don't want to lose this only home."

Brandy stared at the woman with her head down. After a while, he closed his eyes and sighed softly: "I see."

Luna raised her head suddenly: "What about you? Even if Arnold wants to destroy this base, will you still not change your mind?"

"First of all, I don't think Arnold will have the idea of ​​destroying this base. His feelings for the base may not be as strong as yours, but," Brandi paused, as if he was just thinking, "but he didn't No complicated plans, I think he's probably just thinking about getting what he's always wanted. But even if he really wants to destroy the base - yes, I'll still follow him of."

"..."

"So, where did you take Bazel?" Brandy changed the subject, "Did you throw him out of the hatch?"

"...I just took him to the cemetery." Luna turned her head away and said in a low voice.

"So that's how it is," Brandy said, thinking of Arnold's determined face just now, and kept doubts in his heart, "Even if you want to take revenge on others, you still follow the rules."

***

Should it be said that the time is long, or the passage of time is too fast.

Lu Xiao sat leaning against the grave, while recovering his spirit and physical strength, while thinking of other ways.

The green part representing the oxygen storage on the right wrist is getting less and less, and Lu Xiao is getting more and more anxious.Obviously knowing that there is no other way than waiting, but I still can't help but try to think about it.But once you think about it, you will think of many things, and your head will become a mess.

Maybe he could steal a flying machine?

It is unlikely to steal the aircraft from the experimental base, because even if he can control the end of the force body to condense into a solid body to lift the aircraft, it is impossible for the aircraft itself to "pass" through the many hatches.Even if it is possible to control the force body to open the hatch, once it is discovered by those monitoring people in the base, it is very likely that they will quickly catch up and arrest the aircraft.

But there is still an aircraft in Bazel's secret base!With no one standing in his way over there, it should be doable.

"Give up, even if you are in your prime, it is impossible to steal a machine from a few light-years away. In theory, the power body can do many things, but the fact is that most human bodies cannot bear it. Even if you think there might be a miracle and want to try it, if it puts a burden on the body, the oxygen consumption will be even greater." Rabbit poured cold water on Lu Xiao.

This directly cut off his retreat.

"But what if Arnold doesn't come?"

The answer was obvious, Lu Xiao's brain stopped thinking for a moment.

He rested his head on his knees and wrapped his arms around himself.

"I don't want to die..."

What are you waiting for here?

This bet is too big... Is he really going to place this bet on Arnold?The Arnold who let Cecil do something dangerous to him?

Lu Xiao closed his eyes.

He remembered the topic he had discussed with his college roommates while watching "Death Comes" together.If they were asked to choose a way to die, which one would they choose.

At that time, everyone was discussing nonsense, and Lu Xiao didn't make a clear choice, but he hated dying of suffocation.It's scary to be deprived of your breath, especially in such quiet surroundings.

On the entire planet, he is the only living creature at this time.

There was no sign of trouble, and all I could hear was my deliberately slowed down breathing. If you listen carefully, you might even hear your own heartbeat.

If you die here, is there really any point in rebirth?He has never done anything, and so far he is just lingering on his last breath. Is this rebirth just to let him experience the feeling of death more slowly?

It's really not as easy as being hit by a car.

When he was hit by a car before, didn't he feel nothing before his eyes and it went dark.

To suffocate to death is really a cruel way to die.

The power body spread out silently.

The rabbit turned to look at the man sitting motionless in front of the dune.

"I won't let you see those dead people anymore, don't waste your efforts." Rabbit said.

But Lu Xiao didn't take back his strength body.

He couldn't see the picture, but he could feel it.

A dead silence.

Will he also feel the feelings of those people before they died?

"There is only [-]% oxygen left, please replenish it as soon as possible!"

The mechanical female voice repeated it twice.

Lu Xiao's Adam's apple rolled down.

"Calm down," the rabbit looked up at the starry sky, "wait."

"..." Lu Xiao was silent for a long time, and asked, "Do you think I deserve to die?"

"Why do you say that?" The rabbit's voice was very calm, "I like you very much, didn't I say that?"

Lu Xiao felt that he should find it ridiculous to be liked by someone of unknown origin, but he really couldn't laugh.

"But it's because I've been cowardly and didn't make a move that I'm in this situation now, isn't it?" Lu Xiao said sullenly, "I even said that I didn't want to be a murderer just now."

"This is your personality. The formation of your personality is related to your growth environment for more than 20 years. It is difficult to change all at once."

...But I'm really not reconciled.

Lu Xiao raised his head and rested his chin on his arm.

He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something, but he felt it became difficult to breathe.

Inhale, the exhale becomes very long, and at the same time, the head becomes dizzy.

He lowered his gaze, staring at the white gravel beneath his feet.

Looking at it, he seemed to be hallucinating, and he saw a band of light clinging to his toes.

This boundary, is it true that he will stick to it when his death is imminent?

Even on Earth, killing someone to protect oneself is defensible, right?It's not a wrong thing, is it?

After all... Either you die, or I live...

Luna hated him so thoroughly that she couldn't listen to other people's words at all, and couldn't take a good look at him now.

Before that, she would obey Arnold's orders and keep not doing anything to him.But now he stunned and threw him here without saying a word.

Arnold's words can no longer restrain the woman. Even if he can escape and return to the base today, maybe the woman will shoot him with a gun or break his neck next time?

These... are all possible...

Once people are blinded by hatred, they can do anything...

But if he hurt Luna to protect himself, would Arnold let him go?It is absolutely impossible for other people in the base to let him go, right?

If they had to choose, Bazel and Luna could only keep one, the answer was obvious.

"Oxygen storage is only 5.00% left, please replenish as soon as possible!"

Although I always thought about leaving the base after I found the earth, the day when I found the earth seemed far away.

If he leaves the base, although there are many dangers and uncertainties, the strength body can bring him many possibilities.He can find a planet suitable for life to hide for a while, and then think of other ways...

Vision becomes blurred.

Lu Xiao glanced at his right wrist, the red part almost turned into a line.

He opened his mouth slightly to breathe, always feeling cold all over his body.

——But if you're going to die soon, it's useless to think about it...

Breath trembling.

As if afraid that after breathing this breath, there will be no next breath.

Lu Xiao slowly lay down on the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw the name of the person written in Shmiya script under his hand.

Live by Bazel, die by Bazel.The relationship between him and this little prince from another planet is so delicate.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the two small flames in his body between him and Bazel.

Because Bazel has been sleeping, the flames have been very quiet.And his flame was shaking, as if standing in the wind.In comparison, he is more like the one who will disappear soon.

"Lu Xiao!" The rabbit came to his side and looked down at him.

Lu Xiao turned his head and looked at the bright galaxy, which was blurred, as if in a dream.

"Lu Xiao!"

The aircraft was gliding close to the surface of the planet, and when he saw a figure lying in front of the grave, Arnold's heart flashed with surprise.

He was a little surprised that he could confirm at a glance that the person was Lu Xiao, since there were many corpses in white protective clothing in this cemetery.

With that subtle feeling in his heart, Arnold stopped the aircraft, opened the hatch and walked out.

The blond man wrapped in a protective suit closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.The tip of his right finger covered the name carved in the sand in front of the tomb, as if he was stroking that name.

The icon representing the oxygen storage on the wrist has completely turned black.

Although he was not quite used to the gravity on this planet, Arnold walked over as quickly as possible and hugged him up.

There is no response...

Glancing at the pale face in the glass cover, Arnold carried the man back into the aircraft with some thought in his mind, put him on the co-pilot seat, then got into the driver's seat from the other side, and closed the hatch.

Pressing the "Space Oxygen Filling" button, he then leaned over and unbuttoned the protective suit of the person in the passenger seat from behind.After successfully stripping off half of the clothes on the blond man, exposing his face to the air again, Arnold paused.

He looked at the face close at hand, smiled and said softly: "Can you forgive me this time?"

The voice was blocked behind the glass cover, and no one heard it except himself.

The author has something to say: In fact, I am really afraid of suffocation to death, and secondly, I am most afraid of seeing the eye poking scene in "Death Comes"_(:3ゝ∠)_
