Chapter 116: The Last of the Legends
Aside from everything, as a medical logistics in the army, it is naturally one of her jobs to go to the front line to rescue, but at this time, even if she doesn't go, no one will say no.
Because they were going to the place where Xia Ziyu and the others were facing the Scaliche Civilization Starship before, they went to confirm it with their own eyes...... Death...... It was too cruel for her.
It has been detected with a life detector two days ago, and the detector has not sent back a trace of life...... Everyone actually already knows what the result is, and this time I went to say that it was more like a rescue than a collection of corpses.
Where starships were once stationed, starships are still floating at this time. The silver-white hulls of the ships stayed silently and silently in the silence of space.
It is hard to imagine that the dazzling light that seemed to be from the supernova explosion from here pierced through the star dust and appeared near the Silver Moon Star far away.
Lin Ye involuntarily clenched her hands, her nails sank deep into the flesh, and her heart sank little by little when she remembered the previous information.
According to the detection results, the area is almost devoid of life fluctuations. It is said that just after that bout, Scalice's armies in other systems were incapacitated at the same time, as if they were all paralyzed overnight.
It almost means that there are no life fluctuations at all, but it is not accurate at all.
It is also said that Scalice was in fact a cyborg civilization...... A lot of it is said, it's just that there are some words, most of them avoid her.
Almost by default, Xia Ziyu's survival probability is zero.
Judging from the energy burst at that time, no one thought that there would be anyone alive. This is especially true for people who are at the center of the most concentrated energy.
Carlo, who was sent by the Empire, was expressionless, and his main task was to recover the Heart of Civilization that had been used by Xia Ziyu without authorization.
This is his main task, and the side task is to search and rescue the survivors.
He knew that plan, and it was because of this that he admired Xia Ziyu. Not everyone can see it so thoroughly, and even he, if he is in that situation, he may not be able to make such a decisive decision.
Docking, boarding.
The starship was empty, and the figures who came and went on weekdays were completely invisible at this time.
Deathly silence.
"You go and take a look." Carlo gave the order.
Lin Ye stood at the entrance of the starship like everyone else, silent, until Carlo's words fell, and she walked towards the control room in her memory with heavy steps like pouring lead.
Lin Ye and the other two arrived at the control room, and the current starship was completely undefended for them. When docking with the starship, Carlo took over the starship with the highest authority.
The door opened little by little in front of her eyes, and when Lin Ye saw the people inside, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, not Ziyu.
Walking up and reaching out to check it, she shook her head at the people around her. Breathing stops, and the heart stops beating, which can almost be judged to be death.
Of course, Xia Ziyu can't be in the control room, she can only be in one place.
The place where the Heart of Civilization is stored, where there is an instrument that can extract the energy of the Heart of Civilization, is also the source of that dazzling flash.
Carlo looked at Xia Ziyu, who was helped up and lying quietly on the side, with a calm expression as if he was asleep. Turning his gaze to the side, something as transparent as a crystal floats, quietly blooming with dazzling light.
With a wave of his hand, let the person behind him put the heart of civilization into a special box.
"Major General Xia......" Carlo had just started to speak, but was interrupted by a high-pitched voice.
"Lieutenant General! And the heartbeat, the major general is not dead. The man looked at Carlo excitedly, and the small instrument in his hand was placed on Xia Ziyu's body.
"What you say is true." As soon as Lin Ye came in, he heard this, and his feelings fluctuated too much, and he almost didn't stand firm.
Her face was a little pale, and her steps were a little unsteady, so she hurriedly walked over and took the instrument in the other party's hand and checked it.
The others were also surprised to see her like this, no one expected such a situation.
As soon as the push was busy, some first aid measures were used. It is not possible to do anything else here with limited conditions, so you can only bring the person back later for a detailed examination.
After the inspection, Lin Ye found nothing. I could only watch Ziyu being carried onto a stretcher, but suddenly I saw her hands folded in front of her, and a broken crystal seemed to roll out.
Lin Ye bent down and stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the crystal, he lost consciousness after a whirlwind.
The rest of the medical staff were taken aback by her sudden fainting and checked to see that nothing was serious. It may be that the mood is too fluctuating, and I faint after relaxing for a while.
Most people think this statement is true.
So I returned to Silver Moon Star and was sent directly to recuperate. On the contrary, it was Xia Ziyu, her situation was a little special, she was obviously at the center of the energy explosion, why was there nothing at all.
Perhaps, it's not that nothing happens.
Because, as soon as the two of them slept like this, they slept for two years.
Two years later
Two years have passed since the events of Scalice's civilization, and everyone's life has long since returned to its former state.
Xia Yuqi looked at the two who were asleep, her face was tired, and she looked much older. It is very different from the previous appearance, if Xia Ziyu is still awake, I am afraid that she will be a little overwhelmed when she sees it, how can her mother seem to be a few years older all of a sudden.
"Grandma." The door was pushed open, and two identical girls, one older and one younger, walked in, shouting softly at her.
"Little one, little two, you're here." Touching the heads of the two granddaughters, Xia Yuqi showed a hint of a smile.
When looking at the people behind the two children, his expression was not salty or light, "You are here." ”
Zhang Xiao looked at his daughter lying on the bed, in addition to the changing numbers displayed on the instrument, she looked lifeless. If he didn't have the slightest remorse in his heart, it would be impossible.
It's just that even so, he doesn't regret it. With the same decision, he would still make the same choice when he went back in time, but if he could really do it again, he hoped that it was himself who was lying on the bed, not Ziyu.
"Still haven't made any progress?" Zhang Xiao opened his mouth.
As for why two people fall asleep for so long, the researchers of the empire have also studied it for a long time. They had only one goal, to get these two people to wake up quickly.
His Majesty of the Empire took this matter very seriously.
Two years ago, the Empire triumphed, recovering the fallen planet and starting to rebuild.
The fifth son of Lancelot XVII of the empire was born, and a new chapter was opened in the empire.
The original battle, which injured 1,000 enemies and lost 800 themselves, is also known as the Battle of the Silver Moon. It was that battle that rewrote the future of the entire empire.
The Scalicean civilization was destroyed, and the empire was restored to its former days.
It's just that, after all, something is different.
People can be seen everywhere in the empire that seem strange to people, and these are the phenomena that have emerged since the empire joined the Covenant a year ago and established diplomatic relations with various civilizations.
The artificial intelligence that was willing to become a subordinate civilization of mankind back then is now living well in the empire.
Julie took Yi Bei's hand and walked down the streets of the Empire.
The Empire and the Confederation decided to negotiate peace three months ago, and the Imperials and the Confederation began to merge. Although it was once one race, it now looks completely different.
It's just a genetic difference.
Fortunately, the appearance is similar, and the language is the same, and I was a little embarrassed to communicate with each other at first, but then I let go.
The Seventh Army is now managed by Wei Xi, and when the news that Xia Ziyu was sent back to the imperial capital to recuperate reached the SK base, Wei Xi and Si Lan almost didn't rush over directly.
It's just that there are still some enemies that have not been cleared up at that time, and when they know that the major general has nothing to do but fall asleep, they will come to see it when they are on vacation.
Two years ago, after everything was settled, Xia Yuqi took someone to bring the child back.
It's just that when she came back, in addition to Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, there was Belia, after all, she was Lin Ye's sister, and she was still worried in the end.
It's a pity that she didn't have any way to make Lin Ye sleepy, and the civilization of Atlantis was in the process of being rebuilt, and she didn't stay long.
Yiqiē has gotten better, and it seems to be even better than before.
Lin Xi looked at the stinky boy in the yard playing with his sister in the stroller and laughed, next to him was Tish, he opened his mouth, "Let's wait and see Ziyu and them." ”
"Okay." Teese bowed, this time he and Lin Xi came back and it was he who opened his mouth. He knew that Lin Xi actually wanted to come back, but because of his self-esteem, he always refused to say it generously.
"Let's go meet my parents." Lin Xi groaned, although he didn't want to see the old man, he wanted to meet his mother, and then officially introduce Tice to his family and friends.
"Hmm." Tis always had no objection to his words, and for him, no one else was as important as Lin Xi.
In the hospital, Xia Yuqi and Zhang Yan went out to bring the door, and the two were talking about something.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er lay on the edge of the mothers' bed one by one. It's been so long, Mommy, when will you wake up?
Xiao Yi suddenly wiped her eyes, did she see a mistake just now, she seemed to see Mommy's hand move slightly.
Lin Ye's fingers moved slightly, and Xiao Yi jumped up and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, Mommy's fingers moved!" Grandma, come and see. ”
Xia Yuqi, who was outside the door, heard it, quickly pushed the door in, and pressed the button to notify the doctor. Zhang Xiaoxi was overjoyed, got out of the way, and let the doctor in.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er were kicked out, and they sat on the chairs in the corridor and were a little restless.
"Sister, you say, is Mommy sleeping enough and about to wake up." Xiao Er couldn't help but speak.
"It must be, we've slept for so long, we're both in first grade. But why hasn't my mother woken up yet? Xiao Yi frowned, she wanted Mommy's mother to wake up.
In the ward, the people who had been sleeping for a long time opened their eyes almost at the same time.
It's just that compared to the many people on the other side, there are not many people around her. Xia Ziyu squinted a little unaccustomed to the light, she looked at the people around her, moved her lips, and barely made any sound after not speaking for a long time.
There was silence for a while, and only after a few moments did she speak, "What are you, so many, doing?" ”
There was a pause at first, but later on, the conversation became much smoother.
When Lin Ye heard this voice, he looked over and saw Ziyu looking at her.
There was another period of confusion, and after some examination, the two of them did not have much problem except for some malnutrition and general weakness caused by not exercising for a long time.
The doctors and nurses were all withdrawn, leaving only Xia Yuqi and his wife and two children.
Looking at each other, Xia Yuqi had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
In the end, the silence was broken by two small ones, the little one seemed to be offering treasures, holding a small plate with diced apples and sending it to Lin Ye, "Mommy, do you want to eat apples?" ”
Lin Ye raised his hand and touched her head, how long has she been asleep, how did she wake up, and they all ran away. Xia Ziyu looked at it and didn't speak, Xiao Er shouted at her crisply, "Mom." ”
"Hmm." It seems that Xiao Er's personality seems to be a lot more extroverted.
"Mom, Dad." Xia Ziyu said hello lightly, but it was nothing.
"Ziyu, do you feel uncomfortable?" Xia Yuqi looked at her nervously, and then turned her head to look at Lin Ye, "Xiao Yezi, what about you, are there anything uncomfortable?" ”
After hearing the name Xiao Yezi again after a long time, Lin Ye was in a trance, and shook his head decisively, "No, the doctor has also seen it, Mom, don't worry." ”
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must say, by the way, I contacted your mother, and she should come over immediately." As soon as Lin Ye and Xia Ziyu woke up, she informed Lin Qiang.
"If there's anything, I'll talk about it when I get home." Zhang Xiao didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only spit out a sentence rigidly.
"How long have we been asleep?" Xia Ziyu nodded, but there were still some things to ask.
"Two years." Xia Yuqi stretched out two fingers and compared.
Lin Ye was surprised, "It's been so long." ”
"Well, I was scared to death when I heard from you." Xia Yuqi is still a little scared when she thinks about it now.
"Ah Qi, you talk to the two of them, I have something to deal with." Zhang Xiao suddenly looked down at his wrist and said.
Xia Yuqi waved her hand as if catching flies, "Go, go, by the way, send the child home first." ”
"Grandma, can we not go?" Xiao Yi blinked, she didn't want to leave yet.
Although Xiao Er didn't speak, he also looked up at her. Xia Yuqi coaxed the two children, "It is estimated that many people will come to see your mommy later, and they may not be able to take care of you." And didn't I make an appointment with your Aunt Thea today, it's not what a good boy should do if I miss the appointment. ”
"Okay, sister, let's go." Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to Xiao Er, held it, and then said goodbye to Xia Ziyu and Lin Ye, "Mommy, then we will come to see you next time." ”
"Okay." Xia Ziyu said, Lin Ye reluctantly touched the heads of the two children, she hadn't seen her for so long, and she wanted to kill the two children. But in the end, he didn't stop him, "Go back, maybe next time Mommy can go home with you." ”
Zhang Xiao left with the two children, Xia Ziyu and Lin Ye looked at their mother and said, "Mom, just say anything you want." ”
"Ziyu, do you think I have something to say?" Xia Yuqi shook her head and smiled a little, "I just want to tell you about the recent situation, there have been many changes in the past two years compared to before." ”
Lin Ye was confused, "Has there been such a big change?" ”
"Of course. It's just that after I finish speaking, Ziyu, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, an explanation that caused you to be in a coma for two years, and it is indispensable for the imperial side to ask. But don't worry, your unauthorized use of the matter, Your Majesty Xià has not been pursued, after all, it seems that such a decision is very correct now. ”
Xia Yuqi slowly told the two people who had been in a coma for two years to listen to it, trying to make a long story short.
An agreement between the Empire and the Federation to officially join the Covenant and become a member of the Covenant. The complete destruction of the Scalice civilization, as well as the affairs of Linxi and some people.
"Let them tell you the rest." After Xia Yuqi finished speaking, the footsteps outside the door came from far to near.
Lin Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door and pushed the door in, seeing her and Lin Ye, "Ziyu, I know that you will definitely wake up." It's good to see you wake up. ”
"You're still here, how can I not wake up." Xia Ziyu raised her eyebrows slightly, she still didn't have a good face for Lin Xi.
"Hello aunt." Lin Xi didn't care either, and said hello to Xia Yuqi.
"Lin Xi is here, then you can talk. I went back first, and the doctor said that they could be discharged from the hospital after two days of observation, so I went back and sorted it out first. Xia Yuqi made an excuse and left.
When he went out, he saw Tis with a pestle outside the door, and it was difficult for Tis to be mistaken, especially after he showed his face at the cooperation ceremony on behalf of the Zerg and the Empire.
"Accompanying Lin Xi? Let's go inside. Saying that, he motioned to Tice, who couldn't resist Xia Yuqi and walked in.
"You've slept for so long, but it's good you're awake." Lin Xi exhaled, full of ease. If he hadn't told Ziyu about that method, Ziyu wouldn't have tried it.
What if Ziyu really can't wake up, what if Ziyu was ...... He's going to feel guilty.
"I didn't expect I to be alive." When Xia Ziyu talked about this matter, she was also a little surprised, even if it had been so long.
At that time, she was holding that it was a big deal or a death, so she went back to say goodbye to Lin Ye.
Unexpectedly, the world makes people.
"It's best if you're okay, but you're just like Ziyu." Lin Xi asked Lin Ye with a smile.
"I don't know very well, that day I saw something fall out of Ziyu's hand, and I wanted to pick it up, but as soon as my fingers touched it, my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. By the way, Tis and I are going to stay in the imperial capital for a while, well, when you are discharged from the hospital, let's get together again. ”
"Okay." She has nothing to object to Lin Xi's mention, it's just that she doesn't want to see anyone in the past two days. If you think about it, it's Lin Xi who is here now, if she doesn't stop it, maybe this ward won't stop for twenty-four hours.
Lin Xi and Tis also left, Lin Ye looked at her for a while and said, "Ziyu, do you remember Atlantis." ”
"Remember, it doesn't look like a dream." Xia Ziyu suddenly smiled, "The things we encountered are really strange. ”
The tight strings in Lin Ye's heart loosened, and she thought she was dreaming.
Lin Qiang arrived in a hurry that afternoon, said a few words, and learned that they were all fine. The happy smile did not stop, and Xia Ziyu's face was much better than before.
A few days later, the two returned home unharmed.
Although I haven't seen each other for two years, nothing has changed at home.
"We're missing out on the little ones again." Lin Ye looked at the child who had reached his waist and smiled.
"Well, but not anymore." Xia Ziyu put down the laptop in his hand. After waking up, the report that was two years late still had to be submitted.
Xia Ziyu concealed all the truth, and said some specious things with the empire, and the secrets she knew would only remain in her mind forever with the civilization that died away.
Scalice disappeared into the universe as a mechanical civilization, and she, Xia Ziyu, was just a lucky person who woke up after two years of coma.
Lin Ye ...... The reason why she fell asleep don't need to think about it, everyone has already made up for it by themselves, life and death are with you, if you fall asleep, I wake up, and I am willing to accompany you with various explanations.
The night was deep, and the moonlight covered the earth like a light veil of cicada wings.
Xia Ziyu hugged Lin Ye but didn't feel sleepy, and Lin Ye in his arms moved.
"You didn't sleep."
"Nope." She replied.
"What are you thinking?"
"Think about what we've met in the past two years." Her words were a little contradictory, but Lin Ye understood.
"It's already gone, isn't it, if you don't sleep, you'll be out of energy tomorrow." Lin Ye raised his hand and hugged her neck and rubbed it comfortably.
"Well, let's sleep." Hearing the sleepiness in Ah Ye's words, she lowered her head and whispered.
Rewind to two years ago.
She was separated from Ah Ye at that time and returned to the starship.
The other party's step by step pressed her, making her fall into a situation where she was powerless to fight back. Unless you use the heart of civilization, you will always lack something as an introduction.
That little thing stumped her and the Empire's top scientists.
Until that day, the other party quietly contacted her.
Beneath the wide black garment was a thin young man, who looked no more than her size.
The man spoke, politely and unpleasantly, "Hello, Imperial General. I am the master of the Scaliče civilization, Star. ”
"Xia Ziyu, as you know." It's not that she doesn't wonder why the other party contacted her, but the most important thing is that the defense of the empire's military network is really too poor.
"Actually, the empire is not a threat to you, is it?" Her words were questioning, but her tone was firm.
In fact, everyone in the empire knows this, but they don't know why Scaliche is unwilling to completely attack the empire.
"Yes and no." Starr shook his head, "As for why, the reason is too complicated for me to say. ”
He paused and asked, "Do you want to ruin us?" ”
Xia Ziyu didn't speak, looking at his eyes, he felt that he was probably sick.
"Snort, between our two civilizations, there is only the destruction of miè and the destruction of miè, and the reason why we don't do it is just because the time has not yet come." Star's tone was a little sighing and regretful, more of something that Xia Ziyu didn't understand.
There was so much in that sigh, too much ...... Incomprehensible love xù.
"I know your civilized heart is with you, don't you?"
Xia Ziyu was not surprised, the other party was able to contact her without alerting anyone. Don't be too surprised to know about the Civilized Heart.
"I know you're missing a starter, I'll give it to you, and let me see what something powered by the heart of civilization looks like." He laughed out loud with a hint of madness that was hard to hide.
"Why do you think I'll say yes?" Xia Ziyu frowned, could the other party be crazy. Or is there some conspiracy in it that she doesn't know about?
"There's no conspiracy, either, with my methods, or, the time has come." Starr accentuated the word 'time'.
"You don't have a choice, it's ...... The last madness. ”
Xia Ziyu didn't hear clearly, the other party's voice was too soft, and it was more like muttering to herself than to her.
She agreed, at the cost, and took herself as a test item.
As well as the other soldiers on the starship, she had thought about letting them go, but he just needed to start it alone.
However, there is no reason for them to leave.
She didn't plan to consult the empire about using the heart of civilization, and the empire would definitely discuss it when it knew about it, and it was difficult to conclude in the end.
And the other side obviously will not wait.
She went alone to meet Star, the man who was said to be the master of the Scaliče civilization, and retrieved a crystal that looked ordinary in a box that was no more than the size of a thumb.
She became the medium through which the crystal was connected to the heart of civilization, with everyone on the starship volunteering. She pressed the start button, and a violent tremor came from the heart of civilization.
A burst of brightness so dazzling that she temporarily blinded her eyes swept across her body in all directions. There was only one beam of light, and at the end of the light was where Starr was.
She didn't figure out what Sta was for a second before she knew she was unconscious.
Starr smiled when he saw the light, this thing that the Empire called a terrible weapon had another name, the Light of Civilization.
At the cost of use, the original energy contained in the Heart of Civilization will be weakened by half, and there will be no recovery.
But the civilization that has died in this light will one day be reborn.
Even though, that day is very far away.
For the Empire, the Scalice civilization was a mechanical civilization, but the Starr she had seen was a complete human being.
The reason for this recognition as a mechanical civilization is that the captured Scalice's men are cyborgs.
In reality, however, Scalice's population has long since disappeared.
What's more, Star's last words to her were, "I'm human, a human like you......"
In my mind was the meaningful smile that Starr had puffed up as he spoke.
After the coma, she had an experience that ordinary people could hardly have, which is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
