[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"It's flashing, Captain."

"That's right... is this Morse code?"

"What is Morse code?"

The three people who escaped for a long time on the weird and terrifying starship finally found a relatively safe cabin, and then found that something they carried with them was constantly flashing.This is the 'Avengers Card' Tony gave them.Now with the collective wisdom of the three of them, they can only figure out that this should mean that their companions are contacting them.

"Let's decipher it..." Fortunately, both Clint and Steve could decipher the Morse code, and Clint said, "Hey... Hank, Mercer, Widow, together. Ah, they are now together?"

"It seems so, that means they are also in 2552? I don't think it should be possible for Tony's gadget to send letters through time." Steve said.

"That makes sense. Then there's more here... Let me see..." Clint focused on those messages again. Morse code can't send too long messages, so most of them are word by word, and the sender seems to have Doing my best to shorten the length of the sentence, at first it was a constant repetition of information, and then it seemed to form a dialogue, it seemed to be connected with other people?

"Tony, sweetheart, in, earth, beyond, planet, temporarily, safe..." Ah, it seems to be from Tony, Clint continued to interpret, "Sweetheart, who is, Tony, you, away, Bi Son, stay away... tell me something important, hey!!"

"Hank, you are, a genius, able to, think of, use, quantum entanglement... all told me important things! Don't talk to me!! And what the hell is quantum entanglement! We here And the non-science group, pay me a little attention!!"

"Clint calm down, calm down..." Steve comforted Clint who suddenly complained, he said, "Maybe they used communication technology, you see, we are in space now, and the lines on the earth are also Can't use it?"

"Ah, that might be the case, that means we can only receive their messages, but we can't send them..." Clint calmed down, and he said, "Ah, here it is again - go, Earth, find, machine , Go back. Are you finally starting to talk about the business... Are you going to the earth? But we don't know where it is now... This damn place is full of monsters."

"Let's start with the things in front of us first." Steve suggested this, and he said, "After all, it's not safe here. The monster we just saw, I don't think there should be any on Earth."

"Don't look at me, Asgard doesn't have one either." Thor put aside the relationship first, he said, "We only produce younger brothers who are quarrelsome."

"My arrows are enough for the time being, but there are too many of those things. What the hell is it... It looks terrible, and it stretches out that kind of tentacles, as if they want to wrap around the human body." Clint Recalling the scene of the battle just now, he said, "And you look at those things. Although they look like monsters, they actually look like humans at first glance, but they seem to be..."

"You want to say... parasitic?"

"Yeah, that's the one." Clint didn't want to say the word. "It's getting more and more like a horror movie, Cap, Thor."

"I don't think I've seen the movies you mentioned, Clint, but I think we can find something here." Steve said and saw the file data disk scattered on the table in this cabin, "Maybe we At least we can know where everyone on board has gone."

"I hope this doesn't bring us closer to horror movies." Clint shrugged, and he picked up the data disk Steve handed him. This technology seems to be quite advanced, it should be a full range of imaging technology Bar?There doesn't seem to be any paper documents here. It seems that this rectangular board has completely replaced paper, which is somewhat similar to SHIELD.Clint tinkered with it for a long time and it still didn't turn on, maybe it's out of battery, "Thor, can you charge it?"

"Well, I only know how to chop it up." Thor frowned, and he said, "The technology in the atrium gives me a headache."

"Who said no. Hey Thor, if I go back to Asgard with you, can you give me a title or something?" Clint thought maybe they could just escape to Asgard now.

"I can only guarantee that you will be received, but now I can't seem to go back, Heimdall has not responded to me, and I can't open the Rainbow Bridge." Thor said that he had tried it a long time ago, and he said, "I still give Charge this thing up."

"Okay, but all you need is a little lightning..." Clint said, "a very small kind."

"I'll try, usually I prefer to summon the big ones." Thor took a deep breath, clenched his hammer, just a little bit of lightning, a little bit... Telling himself like this, the son of Odin began to summon The power of nature that represents his power, the power of nature that can pass through the barriers of the endless universe, and penetrate the barrier of time for his use—usually the power is very powerful and not so easy to control as people think—

"Uhhh Thor!!! I said a little bit!!"

"Enough Thor!! STOP!! STOP!!!"

After Thor stopped, he found that the lights in the entire cabin were on, and the faces of the two companions in front of him were black and gray, and their blond hair was a little burnt, and they were still smoking. Muddy.

"Feel sorry."

"Never mind, at least we have lights now," Steve reassures Thor, saying, "Hey, it looks like this one is on too."

"Yeah, that's right..." Clint wiped his face, he patted Thor in fear and then looked at the data disks again, a few were burnt, but a few others lit up, Clint Te picks up one, which appears to be a journal of a person, and it's getting more and more like a horror movie—

June 2531, 2 in the military calendar

God!We have finally escaped from that terrible place!I'm very happy that Captain Carter is so good, I knew he would be able to rescue us safely!Of course, many people died, we will not forget them, we will go back and continue this bloody war to avenge them.

June 2531, 2 in the military calendar

We lost the hyperdrive, Captain Carter used it to blow up that damn place before, I know that was the right decision, but then we couldn't do the space jump, we had to use the conventional engine to return to the civilized world.But God knows how long we'll be flying, and even Serena doesn't know where this is.

June 2531, 3 in the military calendar

Haven't journaled in days, I'm not in the mood, we're in the most hopeless situation.Captain Carter put us all into cryogenic hibernation because Serena couldn't figure out how long it would take us to get back to civilization.For the first time, I felt that the universe is such a terrible place.It's so big, so dark, we're all swallowed up by it.Now it's time for me to report to the hibernation pod. I don't know how long I'll be asleep, but I hope I can come back alive to get my diary.

"Okay... maybe you've all noticed. 2531." Clint caught on to the first point, he said, "We seem to be in the future, guys."

"Aha, now you are old people like me!" Steve clearly missed the point.

"Captain! Now is not the time to talk about that! I mean this is the future 500 years later!! No, this log was written in 2531, but I don't know how long this ship has been floating in the universe!" Ke Lint said nervously, "I think we are in trouble, captain."

"Don't worry, at least we're still alive." Steve comforted Clint, who had become a little downcast. Didn't he just go to the future in the blink of an eye, and he had already experienced it once.Although it's not as long as 500 years, Steve thinks it's not much different. "This diary doesn't explain why those monsters appeared. There must be other clues here."

"Look, there is a sign there." Thor saw something, because the lights in the entire cabin were on, so the visibility was much higher than before. He pointed to the black sign on the wall and said, "It's like a shield Bureau, it's an eagle."

"UNSC...United Nations Space Command." Looking at the words written under the black eagle totem, Steve said, "This must be the name of the current Human Alliance. It may be a battleship or something. Kind of cool."

"From the logs, it looks like they lost power in some war... Cryogenic hibernation chamber... Do you know what I'm thinking, guys." Clint thought of something, he said, "Captain is in The bottom of the sea was frozen for decades, and then he was alive. And will the crew of these professional ice facilities be alive?"

"It makes sense... But the premise is that they are not eaten by those monsters." Thor said, "And when we came along the way, we found that there were places that we couldn't get in. I think there may be places on this ship that are not suitable for human survival."

"Yes, they probably needed to save energy, so they turned off the lights, but why keep gravity and oxygen? It doesn't make sense—"

"To protect—you."

"?!!"

The sudden sound from above the ceiling startled all three of them.It was a female voice with a loud electronic voice: "Please... Captain... wake everyone up and evacuate! We... we need to evacuate!"

"Uh... Ms., who are you?" Steve glanced at Clint and Thor, and decided to speak first, "Are you the crew of this ship?"

"I...I am...I don't know..." The female voice was full of noise, intermittent and overlapping, she sounded very troubled, "No, I am...I am Serena...I...the captain Tell me not to give up..."

"Serena?" Steve repeated, as the name seemed to have been mentioned in the journal just now, and at this moment Clint pulled his clothes and said, "She may be an artificial intelligence! You know, It's like Jarvis! There's always an AI like that on Starship, it's always like that in the movies!"

Like that voice in Tony's house?Steve understood a little bit that this lady was the computer on this ship, and he said, "Serena, you are the computer on this ship, right?"

"...Yes!!" Said the voice very excitedly, "Thank you for telling me... I am... I am Serena. UNSC...UNSC Phoenix-class colonial battleship Fire Spirit's artificial intelligence... ...we, we lost the hyperdrive... we can't go home, the captain told me not to give up..."

"Serena, my name is Steve Rogers, these two are my friends. We came here by accident, can you help us get out?" Steve tried to communicate with Serena, he said, " You've been helping us all this time, haven't you?"

"I detected... a burst of dark energy. It's a wormhole, no, something deeper." Serena said in a nervous voice, "but I can't think... thinking will kill me , no...I can't...the captain told me not to give up, the captain said he was going to take us home...he said don't give up, we will go home..."

"Serena..." Looking as if she was in some kind of desperate territory, Steve tried to slow down and soften his voice as he said, "Can you tell me what happened, Serena?"

"We...we lost the FTL engine, and the captain sent everyone into the cryogenic hibernation chamber, because I couldn't count the time to go home." Serena seemed to calm down a little, she said, "But we don't know... The zerg were on our ship and we didn't destroy the bodies of those infected soldiers in time...because, because we didn't know...we thought they were dead...but they didn't, didn't...they dragged the soldiers out of their hibernation pods , eat them, infect them, I issued an order to abandon ship, but no one responded... I don't know... I don't know what to do...Captain, captain..."

"Oh, it's a horror movie now, Captain." Clint read softly.

Steve didn't respond to Clint, saying, "Serena, Serena, listen to me, we still need your help, we—"

“185016小时。我们一共漂泊了185016个小时。”瑟琳娜的声音直接打断了史蒂夫，“那是、21年1个月13天……第13天05023时……检测到电磁脉冲攻击——不符合常理。024时，检测到大量暗能量，似超新星爆发——不符合常理。舱内检测到未感染未休眠有机体，临时转移能源制造可生存环境。”

21 years...During these 21 years, has Serena been guarding the Spirit of Fire on its way home?When she realized that someone was on board, she created oxygen and gravity to help herself, Clint, and Thor.Steve felt that there might have been something wrong with Serena during these 21 years, which made her 'mental' not normal.She is a smart computer, she may be able to feel despair, she has been guarding this desperate dark universe for 21 years, she has done a good job, but now, Steve and the others still need her help: " Serena, is there anyone else on board?"

"...the energy is insufficient...I...killed them." Serena paused, and she said, "I'm sorry...I, violated the rules, but the energy...I must...even if there is only one, I want Sending them home, the captain told me not to give up...the captain said I could send them home..."

"Selina, how many people are still alive?"

"...life signals... 15 people. The low temperature damage is too serious to save 11 people. The cabin is damaged, and 1 person is occupied by Zerg. It can help... 3 people." Serena spoke in a tone that was almost emotionless. Desperate Numbers, "Identification Information...Spartan II Soldiers. S-042, S-092, S-130...Special bodily functions, less damage. Please take them home...Steve husband."

"I will, Serena." Steve couldn't refuse, first of all, he couldn't leave the living person alone, and secondly, how could he refuse such a request from a lady?He said, "Tell me where they are."

"You are... you are Steve Rogers, you are... the hero of the human earth era?" Serena didn't answer, she seemed to have discovered something, "the captain said... there will be a miracle to bring us home. I ...I'm, a composite... I didn't know what a miracle was, before. Now, I know."

"Selina..."

"You are...you, always have been." Serena paused for a while before making another sound, "They are in the dormant chamber area D. I opened the way. Wake them up, I can't do it. Bring them back home, get out of here. Take them back..."

"I promise you Serena, we'll bring them home. Thank you for your hard work, you've done a great job."

"...the captain told me not to give up. He said miracles will happen...I believe in you, Steve."

"2552... Ha, I dare say Hank must have jumped up with excitement." On the way to the dormant area, Clint said this in order to relieve a little nervous atmosphere.Walking in the dim corridor, they could always hear low roars coming from behind the wall.

"I think we might need Hank, Bruce or Tony here." Steve replied, "We don't understand these technologies, and even if we save people, we don't know how to get out."

"Agreed. Human technology is dazzling." Thor said that he couldn't figure out that the voice of the poor girl who seemed to be crying at any time just now came from a computer.

"What are you talking about! That's right! We're not as smart as them! But look at us!" Clint stroked his blond hair, "We're the Blonde team now! They're several streets ahead of them!"

"Clint... I don't think it's good to look good now."

"Don't be so unconfident Steve, if you die, all the girls in the galaxy will cry! Can you bear it? Just thinking about it will help you live longer!!"

"Which of the two of us is less confident..."

The author has something to say:

This chapter is accidentally written a bit too much, because I want to tell a complete story. This chapter goes back to the captain and the eagle-eyed handsome guy. What did they find on that 'ghost ship'?

This story may be very long, because first of all, it is divided into four large branches. In fact, it does not seem to be a difficult task to get the revengers back, but what I want to show is that no matter when and where they are This thing can become the hope and guardian of mankind.And the background is chosen in the future, on the one hand because I still like "Halo", on the other hand, in the future, the Avengers who no longer exist (the most classic ones at the beginning) have almost become obsolete Fairy tales, people looking for hope in despair, ushered in heroes from ancient times, and regained the lost responsibility and confidence in their hearts. I always feel that such a story should be good.

The author's ability is limited, and he will try his best to reflect the value of everyone in the Avengers, and will also describe the changes brought about by the appearance of the Avengers to the future from the perspective of people in the future, perhaps only affecting a few people, But just to bring hope to a few people, their existence is also meaningful.

I accidentally talked a lot of nonsense, the author likes everyone in the Avengers, and also likes the Spartan soldiers, readers who can support the author until now, thank you very much QwQ, the author will continue to work hard the ~
