Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Boy's Panic
"Sister, if you pinch me, could it be that I'm dreaming......" Kevin stretched his face over, and I twisted his ears mercilessly, gathering all my resentment on these two fingers.
"It hurts, let go!"
The next thing I saw was Kevin, who I had never seen before, slamming his hands frantically against the wall, and although he pretended to be careless, the skin of the wall was red.
"What's the problem...... I said as I looked at Kevin with some distress, "No, let's go back first...... Go back and figure it out......"
"Sister...... In this case, you still think about me......"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go. "At this time, as an adult with a brain that is not enough, all I need to be responsible for is to stay calm. This is the first time I've seen him panicked, although he usually looks like a hanger, but in fact he is a very steady child, today, panicked......
I looked at his red eyes and couldn't bear to blow the dust on his hands, and we decided to go back to the mountains to check it.
"I'm going to walk for more than a day, and I have a headache when I think about it......" I tried to say some nonsense to ease Kevin's nerves.
It was already evening when we arrived at General Mountain. The two of us walked deep into the mountains under the strange eyes of the people coming down the mountain, Kevin kept at his feet, his hands clutching the strap tightly.
"Take a break?"
"No need......," I said, waving my hand, "it's important to get back quickly." ”
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you get into this muddy water...... Our family's business...... I'm sorry for you. ”
To be honest, if I could, I would like to stay here for a few months and then go back, and when the public opinion disappears, I can find a job in a down-to-earth manner. I smiled at Kevin, the panic in his eyes finally subsided.
I understand his fear, it took ten years to get here, his family is all waiting to be rescued by himself, no matter who he is, he can't calm down when he encounters the current situation.
"Can't walk, can you?"
I shook my head.
"That'......," Kevin said, holding out his hand to look at me.
I looked at his hand dangling in mid-air, hesitated, and put my hand in his palm.
Kevin deliberately slowed down, and I quickened my pace, holding his hand like this, and I felt that the road behind me was not so tiring.
It was almost a two-day journey and we walked overnight. I hammered my unconscious leg and looked at Kevin not far away, and the anxious look he had when he opened the cabin made me a little worried.
"How is it possible, how can there be so little fuel in the storage tank......" Kevin's eyes reddened a little as he walked towards me, the ball once again obscured by the branches and leaves.
"Sister...... We...... Can't go back for the time being......"
"Huh?" I jerked to my feet, but looked into Kevin's red eyes as I tried to calm myself down.
"Fuel...... There may not be enough fuel...... I compared the rest of the fuel...... I don't know why this is happening, what is wrong, the coefficient is wrong, or ......"
"I remember you saying that this machine relies on the reaction chamber to speed up or something, is it just to put as much fuel as you can go, then ...... Could it be that you put twice as much fuel in the reactor compartment, you see, just 10 years more. ”
He went to check again as if he had been struck by lightning, and then came back as if the frost had hit, and it seemed that I had guessed correctly.
"Sister, you hit me!"
But how can I do it, this is the first time I've seen Kevin so anxious.
"What then?" I sat back down on my dead tree trunk, trying to stabilize myself.
"Now the fuel is not ...... There wasn't enough fuel, so we used all the fuel for the round trip...... The current fuel is not enough even until 2006. ”
"So...... So we can't go back to 2016, and we can't go back to 2006...... "Are you really going to spend the rest ......of your life in 1996?" I tried to squeeze out a smile, and it was strange, and although I was a little worried, I didn't feel like crying at all.
Kevin stood there dejected, his eyes red, but he struggled to keep the tears from falling.
"Don't worry, it's okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. ”
"Sister...... You...... And let you comfort me...... Obviously I hurt you......" Kevin looked up at me, and then the tears in my eyes began to roll more and more, "I...... I'm useless......"
I looked at him, and I was inexplicably a little sour: "What are you talking about! You're only 17 years old! 17 years old just after your 17th birthday! Children of your age are generally still studying hard in high school, or addicted to playing games, and you are much better than them." ”
“…… Don't comfort me, I know it's me who is useless, how can I expect to save them ten years later, a fool who couldn't even understand my mother's goodbye ten years ago. No wonder Lou Ye wants you to look at me, it really won't be a big deal. ”
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I stood up and pointed at Kevin's nose and shouted, "You're enough! Say you're a child, you're really hypocritical! Lou Ye doesn't believe you? That's because I'm afraid that if you can't think of going to Chen Chong for revenge one day? Can't you see this? Your father cares about you so obviously, what are you still talking about?"
"Huh?"
"Ahh
I felt relieved after my generous speech, and I felt like I was encouraging myself.
"It's a big deal that we can wait ten years to save people, and we can find enough stones to go back in ten years. Or now we will go to your parents and persuade them to let them run away when they see someone named Chen Chong in the future. ”
"Sister...... Sister!" Kevin looked up sharply, startling me.
"Sister...... I see! Comet Svensson hit the Earth in 1997!"
"What do you mean?
Kevin's face finally regained his expression, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This comet has landed on the other side of City D, that is, on the other side of General Mountain. Although it did not cause harm to City D, there was a small range of voltage instability in both City D and City B at that time. ”
"I don't understand. ”
"Anyway, I thought of a way to go back. The voltage is unstable, and the short-term power outage is not a problem with the power grid, but the small comet is special and forms a strong magnetic field when it collides with the ground. ”
"So what?"
"So this magnetic field is able to give the simulator an acceleration. That is, we can go back. ”
"That's great!" I happily grabbed Kevin's arm, but he wasn't as happy as I thought.
"It would be nice to be able to go back to where I was here......
"Why? As long as you can go back, what does it matter if you miss ten days and half a month?"
Kevin lowered his head and lowered his eyelashes: "It's going to take more than a year." And it took eight years to collect these meteorites for fuel...... He's been suffering for twenty years, and I'm scared ......"
"What twenty years? 2006 to 2016, only ten years. ”
Kevin sat next to me, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I forgot to tell you something." This is the second time Lou Ye has done this simulator, the accident in 2006, Lou Ye spent 14 years collecting meteorite fuel, and he didn't catch up after returning to 06...... I didn't find out ...... either," he said lightly, "It's a pity that he came back more than ten years later, and it was me who saved me, and it would be nice if it were my mother." ”
"Don't say that......"
He turned his head to look at me, and a wave flashed in his eyes: "That's why he is old like this." ”
"I suffered two blows, I can't bear it......"
Kevin smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Sister, I found out that you have a TV series in mind...... is so rich in imagination at every turn, how can there be so much bitterness, because he went back to the past, met himself 14 years ago, and met him head-on. What is the specific reason, Lou Ye didn't tell me in detail. But in my analysis, it may be that two individuals with exactly the same magnetic field and energy properties are too close together, and the strong one will swallow the weak one, and the strong magnetic field will replace the weak magnetic field...... Maybe it's because of this......"
"Obviously you're more mysterious, right?" I rolled my eyes Kevin, and suddenly realized, surprised, "So the current Lou Ye is the Lou Ye fourteen years later, who went back to the past to replace the Lou Ye in 2006, and after another ten years to 2016?"
I'm a little dizzy with myself......
But Kevin seemed to be able to read what was going on in my head, and although I didn't quite know what he was talking about, he nodded, "That's it." ”
"That's why you're like your grandfather...... Because I have lived longer than I really are...... Forehead...... ...... more alive."
"Exactly 24 years. ”
I can't help but sigh, I never believed that a person's daring could last so long. I've always believed that people don't have feelings anymore as long as they don't connect with each other for more than four or five years at most...... But I was wrong, for 24 years, how strong faith it takes to persevere.
"If it's just revenge, it's good to end up with Chen Chong, but Lou Ye is bent on saving your mother. So Lou Ye loves you and your mother very much. ”
"Well, especially my mom, very loving, very loving. ”
I never thought that there would really be a love experience that has not changed for more than 20 years, I looked at Kevin and suddenly felt that he should have a very happy family: "Your father can wait for twenty-five years, you only have to wait another year, what's so scary?"
