Volume 1: The Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 15. Magnificent and lonely
"Whew, whew." The sound of breathing filled his eardrums, Lu Yuan waved his hands and feet wildly, and the vacuum cold drove away the residual temperature on the outside of the combat suit, and quickly eroded the inside. The sweat, blood, and tears that flowed out turned into thin ice and froze on Lu Yuan's body.
The mask was also "creaking", Lu Yuanhuan put his hand in front of his head, smashed open half of the prefabricated board, and the wreckage fragments densely surrounded the sea gate, cutting through the spacesuits of the people who had passed through here, and with just a finger-long screw, it could easily end countless people. Lu Yuan couldn't turn back, but he knew that the Corona was throwing out countless debris in the sky at the moment, and perhaps the entire area was rumbling away.
He had always wondered where the fleet had gone, but now that he was in space, Lu Yuan finally saw the bleak scene outside the Corona.
One by one, the landing ships marked with the Empire's seven-pointed star were released from the mothership and rushed to the Corona, which was still blazing with self-defense firepower, many of which exploded into a cloud of fireworks halfway through, and more successfully attached to the surface of the ship, constantly giving birth to small suns that shone extremely brightly, and it was all suicide lightning strikers shaking the corona's proud armor.
After a long time of ups and downs, Lu Yuan witnessed the scene of one battleship after another disappearing, and the flames were raging, illuminating half of the space. Lu Yuan stretched out his five fingers and covered his eyes with a scorching light, just a ball of light, that is, the lives of thousands of people melted inside.
Lu Yuan was trying his best to slow down his breathing rate, he was not afraid of death, but he wanted to find some evidence that his own fleet was not so defeated in the battle, he opened his eyes wide, groups of fleet sailors and imperial soldiers rolled past him, and too many glittering ice sculptures. Lu Yuan looked into the depths, and in the distance, he hoped that the "Xijiang", "Dongshan", "Changhe", and "Yangcheng", which represented the majesty and force of the fleet, would leap out of the void, leaping out of the mighty warships and slaughtering the imperial fleet.
But Lu Yuan didn't see it.
The mist from his mouth and nose began to condense on the back side of the mask, the power of the combat suit was extremely low, and it could not even recirculate oxygen, Lu Yuan breathed hard, the excessive carbon dioxide almost suffocated him, as if there were two invisible giant hands choking his neck, he tried to mobilize his hands, but it was impossible to move anymore, because the combat suit was frozen to the point that he could not bend.
Lu Yuan's eyes were full of stars, his eyes crossed the blazing flames, his mind was relaxing, and he suddenly thought, is it the most gorgeous way for a person to die by embracing the stars like this? Even if it comes at the cost of the soul being lost forever in the boundless depths of the sky. However, as a citizen of the Celestial Alliance, wasn't he also born in the galaxy and buried in the galaxy?
As fate would have it.
"Bell~" Lu Yuan's body hit something hard, his heart almost shattered, through some helmet afterglow, Lu Yuan found that he was actually stuck outside a ship, he tried his best to flick it, and stuck his arm into a narrow gap, this is not to say that he wants to struggle to survive, Lu Yuan doesn't have the strength and the interest, as early as when the news of her loss in deep space came back, Lu Yuan felt alone, but he had the responsibility to take others to live.
Now he has fulfilled his responsibilities, or rather, never done them.
Lu Yuan fixed himself, he looked at the Corona wrapped in the flames of war, yes, he just wanted to see as much as possible this battleship that carried all his thoughts, this beautiful and proud battleship.
Extremely bright antimatter beams shot towards the Corona, like a bright glow, born before the night was approaching and the sun had not faded. The countless parts of the Corona threw the embers into the inky depths, and a carmine-stained brush skimmed through the Milky Way.
The extremely bright halo on the corona blooms one by one, just like Lu Yuan's hometown, the famous "flash" of Zeus, whenever the sun rises, the rows of ground starry sky mirrors reflect the sun in turn, looking at the space, it is like a five-petal golden flower that magnificently runs through the heaven and earth.
The largest warship in the history of mankind was already scarred, the explosions were dull, it was whining low, and finally it hung down the bow unbearably, and in an instant, a blue glow received Lu Yuan's eyes, ah, it was the light monument.
This monument of light, which held the hope of the entire expeditionary fleet home, still stands quietly by the half-burned sky, allowing the black tide to rush by. Magnificent and lonely, the six rotors of the light monument stretched out like six-pointed stars, but the blue light projected was fading, and the stable area that could accommodate the battleship's jump was soon left with only a pool of blue in the center of the rotors, like a pearl shell that had been picked by someone and closed its shell lonely, leaving only a star and a half of the pearl pearl.
The ship that Lu Yuan was leaning on continued to fire, its side guns firing non-stop salvos, the violent recoils with gun barrels automatically retreating and re-advancing, and the muzzle hurricane almost blew Lu Yuan away. Large clumps of plasma turn into colorful blocks of ice, vent onto a priceless machine that has been built with the resources of a planet, and then explode it into a ball of even more brilliant fireworks.
The oxygen content was as low as three percent, and Lu Yuan knew that the time was coming, so he simply took a deep breath and waited silently. But suddenly, a blue and white figure flashed, and Lu Yuan immediately felt that something was tugging at him, he turned his head woodenly, his vision was foggy, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt that someone was shouting loudly through the mask, until a trace of warmth flowed across Lu Yuan's face.
The fog of the mask dissipated a little, it was Zhang Yueyang! This tenacious paratrooper was right in front of Lu Yuan, dragging his captain with all his might, his arms repeatedly gesturing in a posture, telling Lu Yuan to hold on?
Lu Yuan's strength recovered a little, and he quickly understood that Zhang Yueyang was connecting his combat uniform energy to him! Transferring power! Save him!
Lu Yuan suddenly became furious, and bent his elbow hard, trying to tear off the transmission line that was absorbing the life of his old friend, but Zhang Yueyang grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and prevented him from succeeding. Zhang Yueyang's face was in front of Lu Yuan's eyes, his back was full of noisy artillery fire, he was frantically comparing lip syncs, looking along the place where Zhang Yueyang was pointing, Lu Yuan vaguely saw a blocked airlock, maybe a lifeguard?
Lu Yuan shook his head without thinking, signaling not to spend his strength here, he squirmed his lips, and said silently: You, go, I, stay.
But how could Zhang Yueyang give up Lu Yuan? There were several drops of water dangling in his helmet, and he used all his strength to pull out Lu Yuan, and resolutely led him, picking up the grooves of the ship's hull, and around him was the dividing line between light and darkness, inch by inch, walking towards the floodgate that might never be opened.
Lu Yuan's consciousness blurred again, his nose fluttered slightly, the oxygen was exhausted, he let go of his arms weakly, strangely, there was not much pain, Lu Yuan felt a trace of warmth, as if it was a happy relief, frame by frame, ah, Lu Yuan saw the classmates throwing their hats at the graduation ceremony of the college, and even saw the military salute he saluted when the commander awarded the paratrooper sword...... and then slowly freeze on her disappearing face piece by piece.
"Hello, Lu Yuan, how about taking a walk together? It's easy to stay at the training ground all the time. She smiled and handed over her hand, the bassist of the band next to her was tuning the chords badly, stinging and stabbing very ugly, no wonder she couldn't wait to go out, maybe she just hated this boring summer, Lu Yuan just stretched out her hand, but she made a grimace, her sideburns were raised, the heels of her boots were "clicking", and she ran to the hibiscus tree outside the door, waving her hand, calling his name.
"Aren't you coming? Lu Yuan? ”
Lu Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath like a newly rescued drowning man, and before he could see everything around him clearly, a black shadow covered him first.
"I knew you couldn't die, boss!" Zhang Yueyang clenched Lu Yuan's palm tightly and cried with joy, beside him were the first-aid kits scattered all over the place, and a huge Eagle Emblem of the Celestial Alliance fleet was looking at them condescendingly.
The black shadow passed by longingly, Lu Yuan's chest was suffocated, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he said, "Yoko, where are we?" ”
"The frigate Yugumo." Zhang Yueyang replied, he vigorously picked up Lu Yuan, who was out of strength, and hurriedly said: "The ship is pressurized, we have to rush to the sleeping cabin immediately." ”
"Where?" Out of the corner of Lu Yuan's eyes, he glanced through the porthole, and swept past a ship that was disintegrating and exploding, its wedge-shaped impact angle was broken, and it was flying away, Lu Yuan immediately recognized that this was a standard Kyushu-class cruiser, just thinking about it like this, Lu Yuan's mind ached.
Zhang Yueyang violently swept away the crowd blocking the way, took out the scabbard and whipped all the way, the alarm in the ship was noisy, and Lu Yuan groaned with a headache on his forehead. "Boom" trembled violently, Lu Yuan rolled to the ground, countless pairs of feet stepped over him, he tilted his head, moved his nose slightly, and then shook his gaze again.
Lu Yuan was nauseous, and Zhang Yueyang shouted over and over again: "Hold on!" Hold on! Top dog! We're coming! The Russian queen was a strange and indifferent voice, repeating words such as "this ship", "crossing", "speeding forward" and so on.
The sharp pain in his mind spread to his whole body, Lu Yuan's eyes were red and black for a while, gravity held him still, Lu Yuan was stuffed into a cabin by Zhang Yueyang like a mess of mud, Lu Yuan blinked hard, and barely saw what Zhang Yueyang was quickly setting up beside him. With a "plop" sound, Zhang Yueyang crashed in front of Lu Yuan, banging and shouting loudly, Lu Yuan only heard the last sentence clearly.
"Boss, I'm going back to play football with you!"
Lu Yuan drooped his eyelids and coughed intermittently: "You... Still... Owe... I..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yueyang was gone, but his roar and hoarse voice still echoed far away, until it was replaced by an indifferent mechanical female voice.
"Attention, shuttle sleep emergency start, countdown thirty seconds, twenty-nine, twenty-eight ......"
The thick amber liquid moistened Lu Yuan's military uniform, not the blue and red lightning insignia on the armband, the hilt of the honorary dagger, and the inscription on Lu Yuan's watch.
"Twenty, structural damage to the hull was detected, nineteen, forced injection of sealing fluid into all escape pods, eighteen, seventeen ......"
"Ten, the hull is being detected to be disintegrating, the core intelligence is offline, nine, the bridge authority is decentralized, eight, seven ......"
"Five, the automatic wake-up has been set, four, the core intelligence is online, three, the escape shuttle starts, two, one ......"
"Shuttle starts, all hands off, and ......"
"Good dreams, Captain."
