Henry was driving alone on the way back. It's not that no one wants to be his bodyguard, but Henry needs a nice and quiet space for his current self.

Henry recalls a topic he had said earlier in the hotel.

"What do you mean?" Henry looked at him.

That man was Henry's staff officer, and he had been following Henry everywhere to fight, and he was Henry's right and left hand like Yuan Hecheng. She is the former chief of staff of the headquarters of the Huaxia Land Defense Bureau, Li Xuan. At the same time, he is also a childhood sweetheart who has played with Henry since he was a child. Although she may seem gloomy and even unhealthy, she has followed Henry through many life-and-death battles.

"It's not impossible for us to find other blueprints, and we have infiltrators at the top of every national organization. Li Xuan said. "But such a huge project requires a certain amount of manpower. But there is no way we can deal with this situation – if we focus too much of our money and energy on these projects, will we be stabbed in the back by other forces. ”

After hearing this, Henry nodded and motioned for Li Xuan to continue.

"Although we have a large number of troops at our disposal, we cannot move our troops too far away from the garrison for the sake of profit and intimidation. To put it bluntly, we need a force that has enough financial resources and can not be disturbed by the outside world to help us. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Please confirm the relationship with Miss Emily immediately. Li Xuan said, "In this way, we can let the United Empire bear the cost of the giant structure we have built." ”

"Allow me to delay my time?" asked Henry.

"The sooner the better. The United Nations will certainly react to this, after all, they are not the same incompetent existence as they were in the Common Era. Li Xuan said resolutely.

Henry thought for a moment, then said, "I wanted to go it step by step. ”

"It's a pity that the current time doesn't take this in its place. I would like to suggest that the Colossus project start immediately. ”

"Project Colossus?"

"We have a code name for this program, and our description of this weapon is both a colossus. Li Xuan said.

Henry nodded, then said, "Good name." Then he waved his hand and said, "I'll deal with it quickly." ”

Henry left. And what he didn't know was the conversation later.

Yuan Hecheng looked at Li Xuan standing in the corner, and he asked, "Is this really good?"

Li Xuan glanced at Yuan Hecheng. She cleaned up the things in her hand and said, "The other half of the chief is bound to become his weakness in the future, or an easy target." If I become the one standing behind the chief, then I will also be targeted. As a staff officer, I can't let the chief lose his staff officer even if he goes to his wife, this is more than worth the loss. ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he planned to leave.

"Huaxia is a country of engineers," Yuan Hecheng suddenly spoke, and Li Xuan stopped as if he had been poked in the soft underbelly, "That country, both men and women, young and old, are some extremely rational guys. Yuan Hecheng looked at Li Xuan, "I am also a person who grew up in Huaxia, and I will also lose my mind because of some things, and the same is true for the chief." But why are you, a more intellectual woman, so calm? You've been talking to your chief for twenty-four years, aren't you? older than me, but why are you able to hide what you're thinking? Or ......?"

"We're all in the same boat now, and it's called Henry Watson Miles, and we're going to have to keep it if we want to survive - it doesn't matter if we use my bones to make up for it. Li Xuan said.

After speaking, Li Xuan left directly without even giving Yuan Hecheng a chance to speak.

Yuan Hecheng looked at the people who were leaving, and then he sighed and looked at his hands.

"Mend the ship with bones...... I only have bones left. ”

Let's talk about it back to the present.

Henry drove back to Dorsis' house.

When he arrived at the door, Henry saw that the soldiers from before were no longer guarding the door, but were standing at the door of the elevator.

"What's wrong, why don't you guard the door?" asked Henry, puzzled, when he saw the guard.

"I'm sorry," said one of the guards, "Miss Emily is awake." ”

"Wake up, is this Nizi's sleep so bad?" Henry frowned.

He walked over to the door and opened it.

Emily was standing in the kitchen, which was connected to the living room, drinking hot milk.

"Huh, you're back?" Emily glared at Henry angrily.

"Ah, there are some necessary things to do. Henry changed into his shoes and walked straight to the refrigerator behind Emily, opened it, took out a bottle of cocktail, and opened it directly.

"Hey, don't come and drink later!" Emily said angrily, "I thought I could be lighter when my parents weren't there, but I didn't expect you to let your men look at me." ”

"Pay attention to your identity. Henry said, and then he threw something directly into the milk in Emily's hand.

"What?" said Emily frowned.

"Give you a piece of candy. Henry said and walked to the door of his room with his cocktail.

But he stopped just as he was about to enter the doorway.

"I'm going to go to Earth tomorrow, your parents are on Earth, and so is your grandfather. Henry raised his bottle, "I'll take you there." ”

Emily asked, "Take a starship?"

"Whatever you want. Henry snorted and closed the door.

Henry put a piece of himself in the shape of a cylinder as soon as he entered the door.

It was a three-dimensional drawing.

Henry looked at the three-dimensional drawing—the Colossus Project that had been discussed that night.

Henry looked at the thing, accepted the networked cylinder, and directly showed the blueprint of a colossus that had not been shown in one night.

There were soldiers marking underneath, indicating that they were blueprints from other forces.

Henry glanced at the thing.

North Siberian ...... Are they responsible for extended guards and monolithic non-kinetic transitions?

Henry looked at the blueprints and frowned.

Why would the United Nations develop such a weapon? Why would the United Nations have mobilized such resources to prepare such a thing, when a war is the same order of magnitude as the planet, and when there has already been a war? What exactly do they want to show to the outside world?

While Henry was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang.

He looked at the screen of his phone, and then his expression changed. He picked up the phone.

"Hey. Henry said. Although he tried to restrain himself and act calm, his voice was still shaking.

"What the hell are you doing?!" came a man's voice on the other end of the line.

Henry was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "What did you say...... What is it?"

"Don't play stupid for me!" the man on the other end of the phone yelled, "Do you really think I don't know what you're doing?!

Henry sat down on the bed, and then he loosened his collar and said, "Ah, what do you think I'm for, or what are you preparing? I've just escaped from Earth, and you're going to give me this? What the hell are you trying to do? You really don't want to stop for a while?"

Henry said with a frown. "I just crawled out of the pile of dead people, okay. ”

The person on the other end of the line sighed and said, "Okay, okay." But I didn't get into the deepest stuff either. ”

"Can't you know some of the details in your capacity?" asked Henry.

The man sighed and said, "Son, we are mongrels, and even though the politicians said they would give us enough rights, they didn't see us as human beings. They would never tell us this kind of thing. ”

"And what did you hear?"

"They seem to be preparing a plan called the 'Meteorite', a powerful weapon enough to wipe the planet out of its star system. ”

"My people have seen this. The question is, why are they doing this? Their purpose—"

"They seem to already know you exist. ”

The person on the other end of the line said something terrible in a calm tone.

“...... What?"

"The Red Ant people are not completely dead, and some of their remaining forces have reformed a new organization, the Interviewers. Their aim is to search for dangerous relics of war, to ensure that no hostile forces or internal divisions of humanity have any weapons and to bring our international order to its knees. ”

"They found me out?"

"That's right,"

When Henry heard this, he stood up with a "rub", and then he almost roared: "Dead old man, you lied to me?! You obviously said that you would destroy the puppet chairman's computer at that time!"

"My computer has been destroyed, and I threw the hard drive into the incinerator. The voice on the other end of the phone said slowly, "But the documents on the North American side have not been completely destroyed. The conspiracy theory guys kept some of the data. ”

"Damn!" Henry stomped his foot angrily. But he quickly calmed down and said, "That'...... Do they know my real name?"

“...... Some people already know about it. ”

Henry let out a very uncomfortable sound. The sound was like a moan, a hoarse roar after crying, and it wasn't a human being.

On the other end of the line, he was silent, as if waiting for Henry to calm down.

Knowing that in the end, Henry calmed down. He said in a voice that was almost crying, "...... Mom...... Does she know what I'm doing, or does she know I'm alive?......"

"I didn't tell her. "At least I hope she will always see her deceased son as a hero who saved all of humanity, not a demon who has waged a global war that has wiped out nearly half of humanity." ”

Henry covered his eyes with his hands, and the lights in his room were not on, so no one could see what he was doing.

"Thank you...... If you can...... I want to tell her I'm alive...... I really want to eat her cooking again......"

"I also hope that we can meet again. ”

Henry nodded slightly.

At this time, he opened his mouth and closed it for a long time, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "I...... I'm going to go back to Earth in the next few days...... Probably on the Central Island side of the United Empire...... Please, please tell Mom. Don't let her come here again for a few days......"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then he said: "We will carry out a joint wanted search for Huaxia and Yamato during this time, and the general direction of action is in our own territory." ”

Henry clenched his phone when he heard this, then he nodded his head and said, "Understood—"

Just before Henry could say the next sentence, the phone hung up.

The monotonous and shrill sound of the disconnected signal reached Henry's ears, and he clenched the phone in his hand but did not hang up. In his view, this is a continuation of the dialogue, and it is also his only consolation.

It wasn't until the end, until the phone was finally cut off by itself because of the program, that Henry slowly put the phone down.

He looked out the window, and saw that he was living in the castle built by the economic achievements of the entire galaxy, the highest point of the entire planet. He looked at his well-mannered dog-like clothes again.

Henry looked at it for a moment, then laughed "poof". He laughed at the grief and pain.

I don't know how long Henry laughed, and he collapsed on the bed all at once.

"Unthinkable, unthinkable......" Henry whispered, his voice so tired and self-deprecating, "I have everything but I keep losing the most important thing......"

Henry lay in bed looking at the ceiling, completely oblivious that it was late at night.

"Mom...... Daddy......"

It's late at night, and even in the midst of this economically bustling city, the night still envelops the entire city – at least for Henry.

After some time, Henry fell asleep.

The next day, Henry didn't get up early. If Emily hadn't suddenly realized that she had slept until ten o'clock, they would have eaten lunch straight away.

"Hey, Uncle Henry, get up!" Emily knocked on the door of Henry's room.

"What's wrong?" Henry opened the door impatiently after being woken up.

"Uncle Henry—what's wrong with your eyes?" asked Emily in surprise when she saw it.

Henry's eyes were as red as rabbits, and Henry looked haggard.

"Nothing. Henry glanced at Emily and asked, "What's wrong?"

“...... Breakfast...... I made it. Emily didn't know what to say next. Henry, who seemed invulnerable to her, would cry, and cry!

Henry looked at Emily for a moment, and then he went inside and came out again. He gave Emily a piece of candy that was often given to her.

"I won't eat breakfast. ...... this afternoon," Henry said, looking at his watch, "someone will come and pick us up at the airport around four o'clock this afternoon." ”

"But Henry—"

Henry closed the door directly, not having the slightest idea of talking to Emily.

Emily has to figure out what she does on her own. She was eating and wondering what was going on. She had vaguely heard some of Henry's yells last night, but she didn't understand what was going on.

But for some reason, Emily always had a bad feeling that something would happen when she returned to Earth to see her grandfather - something that would change her life.

Her restless mood affected her appetite, and she ate hastily and began to do nothing.

Although I want to play with my classmates, I feel a very stomach ache at the thought that I may be followed by Henry and there will be some troublesome things.

She fidgeted from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon.

At half-past three, Henry came out of the room.

Emily took a look at Henry, although he was really in poor shape when she saw him last time, but now Henry is still in good shape. At least the original feeling of grandeur.

"Let's go. Henry said.

"Are you alright?" asked Emily worriedly.

"Although there are some things that need to be resolved, ...... Do you want to eat sugar?"
