"The search and rescue work in the underground cave has been completed, with 51 people still operating, 112 mentally damaged, 35 brain dead, 1 missing, and 1 person returning first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Akaus-339 straightened his back, and calmly reported the results of the operation to us, or somebody else at the moment, in the tone of the weather, and then began to announce the death list.

No one gave him any feedback, and every survivor at the moment was a refugee who had just escaped a nightmare, and they couldn't pronounce the numbers as easily as he did, and they couldn't just take them as numbers.

The missing person was KC66, and the first to return was Ning 08, and among those who died and went insane, there were also names I knew.

Cloud 09 is dead.

This fact is presented directly in the form of a conclusion, which is so cold that I don't have time to prepare. It sounds ridiculous, as if she was alive one second ago, and then her life was ended by such a sentence.

"The members of the first team are bothered to stay behind to help the surviving but mentally damaged team members complete the return procedures, and the others can return on their own."

I saw people stand up and disappear, but more people like me, still holding on to their positions as if they hadn't heard anything.

From the moment on I didn't dare to look for a face in the crowd, I deceived myself into thinking that if I didn't look for him, he still had the possibility of living in a corner, but if I couldn't find it, this person would never exist.

Although, once I return to my timeline, it means saying goodbye to everyone here, and as a result, it is of the same nature as the parting caused by death. But when I inadvertently skimmed Tin 16 holding Yun 09's corpse and said nothing, I still couldn't ignore everything.

Alien creatures like M6 don't understand this.

When I was in a desperate despair that I couldn't find Ning 08 and couldn't distinguish between day and night, it was her extraordinary spirit that brought me out of the hole with her heroic spirit.

We struggled to get one or two people out of a hole, but as soon as M6 appeared, she used her clone to rescue everyone in a matter of seconds. As MP7 lamented, "It's like something that I have saved up for 50 years to buy, and people can still have leftovers after buying it with a day's pocket money." ”

Even with the help of science and technology, the gap between humans and high-tech extraterrestrial beings is always suffocating.

Some people are grateful to her, but many more privately blame her for not showing up in the first place.

The Van Xi people are not obligated to be the helpers of the earthlings, which is a matter of course, but it is not so easy to accept. I understand that from M6's standpoint, it would be too time-consuming to help the Earth of this timeline solve problems and then find my father, and her top priority is still to fix the shuttle as soon as possible and take me back to the "right" past. She's coming to the rescue, just to prevent me from dying here for no apparent reason. So I don't have a debt of gratitude to her.

Maybe we won't have a relationship with each other one day. I'm so tired every day in Asia that I never get a chance to ask her what she thinks, and I can feel that she's avoiding contact with me. I understand that I shouldn't be bothering about the people I met in this episode, just like M6 doesn't care what I think about this "mission prop".

Shortly after M6-2 told me that they had found R5's location, I thought my mission in this timeline was almost complete. R5 of this timeline must have a way to help them repair the shuttle, if the shuttle is repaired, then everything here, Ning 08, Yagap, and the fifth team will have nothing to do with me. They will continue their story, find their future, or perish.

I suddenly longed to see Yu Baiyuan, even if the pleasure and pain she brought would be directly proportional. How long has it been since this visit? Will she forget about me? At the rate at which she is growing intellectually, will she have left the Psionic Office by the time I get back?

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

PB62 helped the trembling Xiang 73 to pass by me, and when she saw me, she stopped and nodded to me, while Xiang 73 stared at the ground without moving, like a machine.

"How's she doing?" I asked, but I didn't really want to know the answer.

"As you can see, it's not good." PB62 shook his head, "Faith is gone, and the friend I've been relying on is dead, a double whammy." ”

In this way, in the death list just now, it seems that there is indeed the name of porcelain 64.

"People who need to rely on others for motivation to survive are not for here."

"Who is suitable?" PB62 sighed, then patted me on the shoulder, "Alright, you can go back too." ”

Also, I still have to confirm the situation of Ning 08. Although M6 sent me a message reassuring me that Ning 08 had been found safe and sound, and had informed her to return to the subgap, I was still not at ease until I saw me.

I took one last look back at the cave, as if I saw KC66 being swept up again.

This place, it is better to never have to come back.

I pressed the RTH button behind my ear. As soon as his eyes were closed and opened, the dark blue hatch of the sleeping pod appeared in front of him.

It's back. It's like a world away.

I had no feeling in my limbs, and I had to lie where I was, waiting for my numb body to return to normal, perhaps because it had been going on for too long.

Next to the cabin, Ji 87 sat on the ground hunched over, sucking the cigarette butt that he got out of nowhere like a baby sucking milk.

"Yo." When he saw me get up, he greeted me as cheerfully as he could.

"It's been a long time since you've been back?"

"It's been a while."

"Did you see Ning 08?"

"No, I don't remember which sleeping pod she used. Maybe I woke up and went back first? ”

"She didn't come back." G17's voice interrupted us dryly, "Her sleeping pod is next to me. ”

G17 didn't have to lie to me, and she's not a joker, but I went over and checked it again.

The hatch was still closed, and the cabin was empty.

"Are you not mistaken? Are you sure it's this? ”

"Absolutely not mistaken, I watched her lie down. And I've been back for a long time, and I'm pretty sure no one has touched this cabin. ”

"I'll go back to her." I felt my voice tremble.

"Wait," Ji 87 grabbed me, "have you forgotten the steps to return?" There's no one who has time to drop a bioarmor there, and there's no way you're going to be teleported. ”

Case......

Suppressing my anger, I began calling M6-2.

"Aya 17, how-"

"--Why didn't Ning 08 come back!"

M6-2 was startled by my yelling.

"I'm sorry, I thought—"

"- I'll talk about it later, go find her!"

"Okay."

After the contact was cut off, I saw Ji 87 looking at me with a surprised face.

"You were just communicating with the Van Xi Xingren?"

"Yes...... Did you hear that? ”

"You just said it."

"I'm sorry, I may have forgotten all of a sudden." Indeed, it is usually enough to communicate with the Van Si people in their heads.

"Don't worry, let's go back and rest first, it will be no problem to hand it over to the Van Xi Xingren."

I shook my head and thanked him for his kindness.

I have to wait here for Ning 08 to come back. Or, wait for yourself to disappear.

Am I more worried about her or myself at this moment? When the two are mixed together, I can't tell which is more important.

G17 also sat down next to Ning 08's sleeping pod, her back to me, as if she had no intention of communicating with me at all.

"Oops! Go slow! You can't run here! ”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the elevator entrance.

That's—

"Xiao Ming Xiaohong? And ......"

Before I could see the comer, a white shadow had already swooped into my arms. The man was tightly wrapped in a cloak from head to tail, and he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, but the data that was spinning around his body told me that it was a ghost.

“…… Why are you in—"

"As soon as she heard that the special team was back, she ran here, and she really couldn't stop it." Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong squirmed hard from a distance. "I said I couldn't be seen."

"Why?" I looked at the Yubaiya who was tugging at my clothes in confusion, wondering if she had undergone some kind of personality transformation during her absence. But she just hid her face in my chest and didn't say a word.

"You've been there for a long time this time, three Earth days, I've never been there for so long before, and the signal was interrupted in the middle, and most importantly, there was ......" Xiao Ming Xiaohong glanced at the empty "coffins" next to them that no longer lit up.

"She's been in a lot of mood swings lately, and she's been looking forward to your news every day, for fear that you won't come back, oops, I feel upset when I look at it like this. It's good you're back, otherwise it's going to be a big mess again. ”

"What's the matter with you?" I laughed and rubbed her hair.

"I don't know why," she said as she sobbed, "probably a ...... for data recovery"

"Okay, okay, it's okay, didn't I come back?" When I put my arms around her and caressed her back, I felt that I was the one who was comforted, and the restless blood just now calmed down again.

That's it, I'm already satisfied.

"Heh, M6-2 said there in a hurry, and returned to Earth without caring about anything, I thought something was wrong, isn't there still leisure and girls to talk about me?"

As soon as I turned around, M6 was standing behind me, smiling crookedly, and Yu Baiyuan immediately hid behind me. I understood that there was no point in arguing with her, so I left her to it. It's just that the man next to her caught my eye - the blue-haired man who was looking around, and although the white uniform on his body was much more normal than when I met "Future", I still recognized it at a glance as R5.

I instinctively became vigilant, but he just glanced at me and looked away, and to him I seemed to be just an ordinary stranger.

R5's gaze swept around and then stopped at the G17.

"Is that her?" He asked M6.

"That's right." M6 replied with a smile.

"Great." R5 walked straight to G17 and greeted him warmly, "Hello, meet again." He said.

"Hello." G17 replied stiffly.

R5 looked at her without blinking, "Great, you look a little different than I thought you would, but you're beautiful." ”

"Brother, you have to take your time and don't scare others." The M6 blocks the R5, which wants to get closer to the G17.

"Take your time? How to take your time? R5 looked at M6 with a confused expression.

This is not at all the state of the R5 I've seen before. I'm also confused about which one they're singing right now.

"Hey, this is ......" I was about to step forward, when suddenly I heard the warning sound of M6 in my head.

"Listen up. R5 had been with Ning 08 just now, and there were already signs of chemical reaction on his body. However, the visual projection function of your bio armor is not effective against the Van Xi Xing, so R5 doesn't know what your mother looks like, as a rescue measure, we found G17 to impersonate Ning 08, and you need to cooperate with us to play this play to the end. ”

"What are you kidding? When I chatted, I found that I didn't say the right thing, and I would soon be in trouble. ”

Besides, the G17? Why would the G17 be willing to accompany them in such an inexplicable farce?

I turned around to look at G17's expression at this time, but found that the first team was walking towards the door in our direction, and Xiao Ming, Xiaohong, and You Baiyuan had disappeared at some point.

"I've already discussed with the G17 that everything can be explained by your inspection mechanism. We've already warned R5 that you've been back for too long this time, and your memories will be confused when you return to the subgap, so you'll need to give some time to recover slowly. ”

"He actually believes it?"

"Why not? In R5 of this timeline, memories seem to be blank, and so are experiences...... We have currently deduced that this R5 is almost like a 'newborn', with a very low signal concentration, and that he has been staying in the cave and mixing with the signals of other creatures, which may be why we have not been able to find his exact location. ”

In other words, this R5 is not the R5 I saw before?

"So the R5 that robbed my mother is still here?"

"Vanxi people are similar to humans, there are no two of the same vanxi at the same time, and it seems that we have indeed entered a wrong timeline. He didn't know how to do it, and everything started from scratch again. But it's not a bad thing, at least the R5 thinking mode and standard of action of this line have not yet been firmly formed, and it is still in the learning period, and it is much easier to do what we say he believes than the brother who is determined to be with the earthlings. ”

I vaguely feel that this is a little insidious, but since it is a matter of life and death, I can't talk about whether the means are clean or not.

At this moment, I can only hope that M6-2 will find Ning 08 soon, and we will solve the trouble in the same way.
