Chapter 662: Detective Susan There is no fate
For Susan, Reed died heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but it came back to life because of something. During this year-long expedition with only the four of them, Reed had the idea of regaining Susan's heart and bringing her back to himself. But the idea was always just an idea.
This was not only because he never had the courage to take that final step, but also because he saw clearly that Susan had never forgotten the figure in her heart. If he does that, he will end up humiliating himself. In the end, you may not even be able to make friends. So he could only silently hide this thought in his heart, and then wait, wait until everything was hopeless.
As for what Reed thinks, in fact, Susan herself sees it very clearly. It's just that just like he thought, she really can't forget the figure in her heart. She thought that by locking herself out of the world, in a way that resembled self-exile and indulging in work, she would be able to forget him, but she found that it was impossible.
The more you want to forget, the clearer you remember. And the clearer it is, the more painful it is in my heart. As if stuck in an endless loop, Susan's feelings became more and more fragmented. At such times, she even had a feeling of discouragement. to oneself, or to others.
Of course, she wouldn't show that feeling, especially in front of Reed's friends and her brother. In front of them, she always shows only the rational side. And that's why work has become a theme in their lives.
"Reed, by the numbers. There's probably one more big eruption, and this active cycle of the sun is over, isn't it? ”
"Ah, that's what you say." Hearing this question, Reed, who was in charge of the entire experiment, suddenly became a little flustered. He didn't want it to end so quickly, but it was hard for him to tell a lie to Susan. So in the end, he could only reply like this. "I think it's going to be two weeks. And then we're probably going to have to spend a while on the final data collation. But overall, it shouldn't take long. ”
"In other words, we're going back to Earth soon?" Asking like this, Susan's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Earth again. Looking at her performance, Reed could only say in a smug voice. "Yes, we're going back to Earth soon. It's been a year, and neither supplies nor anything else is allowing us to hold on. Moreover, the sky station and the spaceship were also borrowed, and according to the agreement, it was time for us to return them. ”
"If you don't say it, I'll almost forget. What a rich man with a lot of money! Seeing that Susan's face was able to lend this kind of aerospace equipment worth nearly 10 billion. I wonder if he has some meaning for Susan. ”
Hearing Reed say this, Johnny, who didn't know much about it, immediately answered. And his tone made Ben even more dissatisfied.
"Hey, talk less. You don't know anything, young imp. ”
"It's the same as you know how much, big man. Don't think of me as your stupid friend who can't even say a decent word with his mouth open and closed. I'm an expert on this. ”
"Johnny, if you don't shut up for me. I promise, when you get back to Earth, you'll be inundated with bank bills. I'm not going to pay you a bill or a check again. Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Of course, of course. I understand. "On such a serious issue, Johnny decisively chose to compromise." From now on, the handsome Johnny will turn into the silent Johnny. I'm not going to say another word of nonsense until you ask for it. ”
This kind of assurance has no other effect than to make Susan look at him with a dark face, and you can say another sentence and try it. And in this regard, Johnny just smiled awkwardly, and really didn't dare to do anything more.
You know, he owes a lot of money because of his habit of spending a lot of money, and if it weren't for her sister's financial support, it would not be the pretty girls who greeted him when he returned to Earth, but those terrible tax collectors. You know, in the United States, those guys who work in the tax office are much more powerful than any special forces. If they could, it is estimated that most people would rather choose to provoke the police army than these tax collectors.
And for Johnny, he naturally doesn't have the courage to do such a bold thing.
Seeing that the nagging duck finally closed his mouth, Ben immediately grinned and said angrily.
"It's finally quieter, it's the most peaceful moment I've had in months. You should have used this trick a long time ago, Susan! ”
"It won't be long." Susan, who knew her brother's temper very well, knew that the threat was time-limited, and it wouldn't be long before he would sprout solidly. But for Ben, who had been fighting with him for months, there was a moment of peace that was earned.
"Anyway, he'll just give me quiet now. That's right, Susan. I remember the communication we received a few months ago from the ground command center, asking us to change the landing site to the Huiyao City Space Center in the west, right? ”
"That's right!" Nodding, Susan replied earnestly. "Based on our limited information, it seems that New York City has been completely devastated by an alien invasion. The authorities had to use nuclear bombs to clean up the entire city. And this leads to the fact that your New York now, like Chernobyl at that time, has become a forbidden area for life. And the corona has also relocated its own aerospace department to Huiyao City, where the headquarters is located, so we can only land in that city. ”
"It sounds terrifying, I don't know what kind of invasion would have destroyed the whole of New York City."
"I think a lot of this is a government cover-up, not to mention the anomalous energy fluctuations we received at the time, and the Martian shattering event that was discovered shortly after. That's not something the government can do, and nine times out of ten it's a superhero who makes a move. ”
As an Englishman, Susan didn't simply believe the news from Manhattan. Smart as she could easily figure it out, she was not hesitant to share her thoughts with her peers.
"You know, that level of attack can easily destroy our world. And this power will definitely not be owned by the government, otherwise they would not use something as dangerous as a nuclear bomb. And one before the other, two nuclear strikes. That in itself doesn't make sense. ”
"So, most likely, our world was saved at the hands of superheroes. And the U.S. government has just made a dirty decision. While attacking the enemy with a nuclear bomb, they also threw a nuclear bomb at the superhero. This is the only reason that can be explained. ”
"Probably not." Faced with Susan's conjecture, Reed, who has always been a good old man, immediately shook his head and said. "In any case, the government should not drop a nuclear bomb on its own people. Could it be that there was some misunderstanding, or that the nuclear bomb was just to clean up the aliens. ”
"Don't be too simple, Reed. It's not like you haven't dealt with government guys, they're guys who can do anything for the sake of profit. For them, any strong uncontrolled presence is a threat. If they have the opportunity to eliminate these threats, they will never let them go. ”
While refuting, he explained. Susan instantly left Reed at a loss for what to say. And at this time, Teacher Susan was still continuing.
"And don't forget, the energy fluctuations we were monitoring were before the second nuclear bomb. If it was a superhero fighting, I think the battle would have ended when the energy fluctuations were gone. In that case, does the government still need to launch a nuclear bomb? Obviously not needed. So, they must have another intention, a dirty intention. ”
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Reed couldn't even refute in front of Susan, Ben immediately spoke up to help. "If that's the case, who do you think will be fighting? I mean, what superhero can go as far as you say and destroy a planet that's about the size of Earth? ”
"Do you need to talk about that? Surely the Knights of the Dawn. "On this question, Susan's answer is categorical and irrefutable." He is the only one who is the true hero, and only he is the most powerful being. I believe that he will rise to the occasion when humanity is endangered, and face the terrible evil with the greatest possible posture. ”
"I think King Ming is more likely, hey! That's the real god in this world, are you so unconfident in God? ”
Johnny, who was tickled by this sensitive topic, couldn't help but interject. And for his behavior, Susan immediately warned about it.
"Johnny, I haven't said you can talk yet! And, as I said, the Knight of the Dawn did it. Isn't it a god? I don't believe there is a god in the world! ”
"Hey, my bad!" Seeing that his sister had a tendency to get mad, Johnny hurriedly waved his hand and made a zipper movement on his mouth.
"Seriously, I really didn't see it, Susan!" Grinning, Ben's face was full of teasing. "You're going to be a fan of superheroes. I thought a smart scientist like you would be a little more sensible, at least not engage in this kind of fanatical cult of personality. ”
"It's not a cult of personality, Ben." Brushing her long wavy blond hair, Susan suddenly became a little nostalgic. "Don't forget, if it weren't for the Knights of Dawn, I would have died in the sea. He's my hero, a real hero. ”
Hearing Susan say this, Reed suddenly had the urge to open his mouth. But he opened his mouth, but in the end he chose to remain silent. And looking at his appearance, Ben sighed and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
For the feelings of this old friend, he is really a little desperate. If you don't even have the courage to fight for it yourself, then no matter how much others help you, it's useless. There is no fate, after all, there is fate. (To be continued.) )
