Wake up.

Wake up, Trist.

A beam of light pierced the darkness and gradually magnified.

Trist opened his eyes suddenly.

It's been a long time.

Trist, who had regained consciousness, lay in the medical cabin with some curiosity, looking at this somewhat fat girl, her hands dancing in the air. Looking up, in front of him is a cross-sectional view of his physical condition, medical cabin monitoring data, and a series of holographic projections of the operation interface.

"I'm Clark. Medical Officer Abby's daughter, I ......"

"Hello, little princess" Trist said weakly, interrupting Clark's self-introduction.

"You know me?" Clark was a little curious, the rude guy had knocked Wells down that day, apparently ignoring him, and was rudely interrupting her.

"The little princess of the Ark, the daughter of Medical Director Abby and Engineering Director Jack, and the goddaughter of Chief of Guard Kane, the Ark is something that every child knows you...... Oh, thank you......" Trist took the glass of water that Clark handed him.

"You've been asleep for 32 hours, but fortunately, you're in good health, except for the emotional ups and downs, there are no other problems for the time being, you need to rest and hydrate at the moment" Learning from his mother Abby's tone, Clark finished speaking seriously, and at the same time felt a little proud that she had grabbed the initiative to speak, after all, due to her background, she has always been relatively strong among her peers.

Without waiting for Trist to continue asking, she continued to add, "The Ark held a funeral for all 45 of the victims, including Lady Julie and Shirley," noting that Trist did not have too dangerous emotional ups and downs, Clark continued, "Your brother and two other seriously injured have been transferred to the minor injury care area, and your godfather, Mr. Pike, has largely recovered and returned home to recuperate. ”

"Also, the Ark has limited resources, so you can leave the infirmary later." Although Trist's medical resources were clearly exceeded, the infirmary, with the acquiescence of Judge Ahab and Dr. Sinclair, barely objected. Clark, who helped Trist unplug all the test joints, thought for a while, and still said politely, "If you feel unwell, you can contact the infirmary at any time." ”

"Thank you" Trist jumped down from the medical cabin, nodded to the ground on one knee, held on to the eaves of the bed to regain his balance, and slowly stood up, ready to go to see his twin brother, although he didn't know where the slight hostility towards him in front of Clark came from.

Clark was stunned and watched this impudent guy leave in a hurry, but the thought in his heart was, this guy, what he did just now, it seems, is quite handsome?

Intensive care unit.

Gently waking up his mother in this life and comforting her to go back to rest, Trist noticed that Murphy showed no signs of waking up.

Director Abby next to him answered his doubts, "The Ark's resources are limited, Murphy and your family's rations have been used up, and the rest can only be left on his own."

Trist was suddenly a little confused.

The mother took Trist into her arms and stroked her son's hair, apparently mentally prepared. Moreover, before Pike was discharged from the hospital, he left all the medical rations he could apply for to Murphy.

Four hours later.

The father who has never appeared in this life, Daddy Bob suddenly appeared, and he has always had no opinions, but at this time his face is rare and resolute. In the open work bag, there are reagents, antibiotics, healing agents, antipyretics, nutritional supplements, and flowers and greens are reflected in Trist's vision. Trist felt his heart pounding, no, no, no, no!

"Bob, you're crazy!" The pale-faced mother screamed and jumped up, knowing that these precious reagents had been stolen by Bob. The Ark has a limited population, implements a strict population control policy, and any crime is punishable by death!

Based on the memories of yesterday's covert observations, and selecting the reagent that Dr. Abby used yesterday, Bob slowly but firmly injected the reagent into the unconscious Murphy.

Bob kissed his sobbing wife one by one, the eldest twin son and the unconscious twin youngest son, smiling and looking at his family, "I love you."

The "bang" locked hatch was slammed open by the guards.

"Bob Johnson, your appeal has been rejected by Parliament, and you have violated Article 5, Section 3 of the Ark Daily Management Act, by illegally stealing medical supplies and illegally using valuable potions for at least ten people", Ahab said with a serious face, "I am now sentenced to death by Article 2, Paragraph 7 of the Ark Convention, the 15th Judge of the Ark, Ahab Thelonis".

The airlock bulkhead opens, and Bob disappears into the vastness of space.

'Children, live well'

This was the last thought in Bob's mind when he was frozen by the universe at minus 270 degrees Celsius.

In my memory, there is a picture of the birth of twins, and Bob, who has a beer belly, laughs heartily, "I have a baby!" ”

"Trist, twist, my child's name is Trist, he is destined to reverse doom and bring miracles!"

The ark haunts the earth, like a wanderer who can't return to his roots, reflected in Bob's lifeless eyes.

"Daddy".

As if aware of this, in the medical room, Murphy, who had been in a coma for 48 hours, opened his eyes for the first time.

The blue earth outside the porthole is dreamlike and poignant and picturesque.

Six hours later, Trist pushed his wheelchair and pushed Murphy, who had become unconscious again, back home. Murphy used up his medical bed ration, and Dr. Abby had to place an eviction order on behalf of the medical district. Before leaving, the lady, whom she had only seen a few times in her childhood training, gave Trist a few sticks of nutrients, which was the limit of what she could do, after all, the medical district was responsible for the entire Ark.

"Plop"

Trist fell to his knees.

In a messy house, the mother of this life, holding a wine bottle, collapsed like mud.

Murphy was awakened by the violent tremors, and looked at the strange home, the strange world that had only been three days.

"Live well". Returning to the light, Trist's mother, Mrs. Johnson, looked at Trist's pale gray eyes, which she had inherited from Bob, and said slowly.

With that, she turned to her other twin son, Murphy, and looked at Murphy's emerald green pupils like her, her emotions seemed to fluctuate, and the words she spat out were decisively heartbreaking, "I hate you."

It was also the last word she left in the world, and slowly, she stopped breathing.

Murphy fainted again.

'I don't hate you,' Trist crawled to his mother's body, helped her close her eyes, and took the photograph of the four of them from her stiff hands, knowing that the poor woman was just in too much pain to be freed. Like a wounded beast, Trist curled up beside his mother's body, which was losing its temperature.

obviously thinks that he is an emotionally indifferent or even cold person, but at this moment, Trist feels a pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.

The cold and broken home in his previous life allowed Trist to always subconsciously eliminate all kinds of emotions, look at the whole world coldly like a bystander, and repay the whole world's malice towards him with indifference. 'Ugly, fools'. Trist doesn't believe in real feelings, only in equivalent exchange.

Until.

Until Bob, the man who usually has a big belly and burps, until the lively and humorous mother in this life, until Murphy, the twin brother who is naughty and mischievous, but unconditionally convinced of himself at a critical moment, has built a warm home for himself, and filled the vacancy in his heart in his previous life with laughter and laughter.

Until Pike, the dignified man on the outside and sullen on the inside, until Julie, the kind and kind lady who was dissatisfied with Murphy and often deliberately matched Trist and Shirley, until Shirley, the little girl who played after Murphy and Jasper, until Raven, the tsundere sister who always liked to tug Trist's ears with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and Dr. Sinclair, Cool Boy Fen, and upright young Jasper, they added a wisp of warmth to Trist's cold Ark life.

Slowly, Trist learns to believe.

But when he learned to believe, he had to face loss.

Three months later, Murphy made a full recovery.

Trist, who went home from work, didn't find Murphy.

Pike hurriedly pushed open the door and dragged Trist towards the guardhouse.

"Murphy burned down the home of the guard who captured Bob and is now in custody"

Trist felt a burst of tinnitus through the porthole of the aisle, and outside the window was pitch black space, extremely cold.
