The next day, Brian returned to his home in New Haven, Connecticut, where the sunlight shone through the layers of green leaves on the mottled white wooden walls, leaving a few shimmering dots. Brian pushed open the door with Tiffany glass embedded in it, and a familiar and rich aroma of cheese and milk came to his face, the smell of his elderly mother's cooking. Eight-year-old niece Corona and six-year-old son Ian heard the sound of "knock knock" running down from the second floor and ran to the foyer, followed by a white ragdoll cat. Brian hugged his mother warmly as usual, respecting Alan's wishes and not mentioning anything about meeting her. In the evening, his wife Marpel returned, and he only lightly recounted Alan's situation. Marpel had a worried look on her face, but as always, she quietly chose respect.

After another sleepless night, Brian hurried over the day's work and went to Coronna's elementary school early. As he was about to carry his chubby little blonde niece into the car, Ian threw himself at his feet with his school bag on his back. It turned out that Ian, who was studying at the same school, got out of school early, and he saw his father's car at the school gate from a distance, so he ran over. Ian is a petty mischievous, but he admires his father so much that he sticks to him whenever Brian is free. Brian knew he couldn't get rid of Ian and was pressed for time, so he had to get into his car with his two children.

Brian's Ford stopped in front of a small amusement park not far from their home, and as soon as they stopped, a silver-gray Cadillac came up to them, the door opened, and a handsome man in a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt came down. Brian couldn't believe his eyes, this was Allen, who was like a skeleton two days ago? At this moment, although Allen's face is still thin and his movements are not agile, he is no longer much different from a normal person. He crouched down and greeted Corona with tears in his eyes, and Coruna shyly hugged Brian's thigh and hid behind. Instead, Ian reached out and patted Allen on the shoulder, took out his plastic steel claws, and called himself "Wolverine". Brian didn't want the kids to feel sudden, so he just said that Alan was his friend, and Alan was stunned for a moment, then affirmed the answer with his trademark smile.

It was not a day off, and the playground was not very crowded, which was just the right thing for the two children to fully enjoy the various entertainment facilities, playing on the slides and go-karts. Brian and Alan follow behind like nannies and retinues, satisfying their desires unconditionally. Ellen, in particular, has ice cream in his left hand, several rag dolls under his armpits, a lollipop in his right hand, popcorn in his arms, and a newly bought Minion T-shirt. After all, blood dissolves in water, and at first Corona was a little rusty with him, but after Alan washed the crane machine in blood, Coruna hugged and kissed him affectionately. Although Ian is two years younger than Corunna, most of the time he is very humble and loving to the young lady like a gentleman. In the choice of roller coaster and merry-go-round, Ian lost patience, and his handsome little face showed disdain: it was a humiliation to let the iron-blooded "Wolverine" go to the merry-go-round! So Brian and Allen, after laughing for a while, split up to complete their mission.

As Brian and Ian descend the roller coaster slide with Ian, a cold breeze hits the stairs behind him. He looked back, and although it was early summer, the weather was unusually hot, and the incandescent sun shrouded the roller coaster, leaving a beast-like shadow on the evaporating asphalt. A haze of fear suddenly loomed over him, and he picked up Ian and ran to the merry-go-round, which had just finished its round and a stream of people poured out of the fence's exit. Brian looked left and right in the crowd, looking for Alan and Coruna. Suddenly, he felt someone tapped him behind him, and Allen's voice sounded in his ears: "Something is wrong, but don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." We have to leave now, you go to the parking lot first, get the car started, and I'll be there in a moment. ”

Brian turned around and didn't see Allen, the strange feeling made him goosebumps, and the sun was hot, but he felt that the cold wind had been following him. He hugged Ian tightly and pretended to be calm and ran to the parking lot. In the parking lot, his and Allen's cars were still safely parked in the grassy parking spaces, and several black-clad policemen with batons and police guns on their waists hid in the shade of the roadside trees with their hats fanned, and the sparse people exuded a lazy atmosphere in the scorching sun.

"It's okay!" He comforted himself: what would happen in such a densely populated public place in broad daylight?

He stuffed the reluctant Ian into the oven-like car, and as soon as the engine started, he felt a vibration in the body, and turned his head, and Allen and Corunna were already in the back of the car. Corona clapped her hands happily and screamed, "Uncle Ellen, Feifei, this magic game is so fun!" One more time, I'm going to do it again! Ian climbed on the back of the passenger seat, mouth wide enough to fit a fist, and Alan winked at him, Ian swallowed the air in an instant, nodding solemnly that it was their X-Men secret.

Alan ignored Brian's shock and confusion, and urged, "Let's hurry up, I'll explain to you later." ”

"Where to go? How to go? ”

"Drive out of the city and leave the crowded."

"Leaving the city? Is it safe? There are police on the side of the road, so let's call the police! Brian said confusedly.

"The police can't help us, leave the city, I don't want to hurt the innocent!"

Brian was about to ask, but turned his head to see several big men running out of the playground, one of them with a bald head and a middle-aged man pointing at their car. The car slammed out of the parking lot, and Brian quickly turned and grabbed the steering wheel, shaking his head, and he couldn't remember how he had put the car in gear and stepped on the accelerator.

Ford was in a congested lane in the city, rushing left and right, followed by three black off-road vehicles. Brian was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, and he had followed the rules all his life, not smoking, drinking, or even violating traffic laws. Now, it's a plot that only exists in spy war blockbusters! The adrenal glands were rushing, and the tension and excitement left his mind blank. Allen put his hand on his shoulder and smiled calmly to reassure Brian that he would drive as usual. Brian turned his head in surprise, Alan had shifted to the passenger seat at some point, and the seat belts of the two children were fastened.

The car was speeding away, and two children who were not familiar with the world screamed in surprise, followed by three black off-road vehicles. Several times, Brian felt like he was about to crash, but the car seemed to have life, and he could skillfully steer and avoid it at the critical moment. Brian didn't know if it was luck or his own skill. Finally, the car drove safely out of the city and into the suburban forest park, but the three black off-road vehicles still clung to it like mad dogs. Different from the crowded and hot city area, the dense and tall trees make the forest road like a green time and space tunnel, and the dappled light and shadow quickly sweep through the car window, Brian turned on the air conditioning in the car to the maximum, his face was still covered with sweat, the sweat beads on his eyelashes and the changing light and shadow made him almost unable to open his eyes, and there was a sense of tension that he was about to bump into something from time to time.

There was a loud 'boom', and Brian thought he had hit something, his body straightened and he tensed, his hands gripping the steering wheel with all his might, but their car was still driving smoothly on the quiet, rough concrete road. Through the rearview mirror, he saw a large bundle of branches falling from a large tree, followed by several screaks, the sound of tires braking sharply on the concrete road, and the falling branches blocking the road of the three SUVs. He breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how he could have been so lucky. Turning his head, he glanced at Alan, who was closing his eyes, the sun forming a row of crescent-shaped shadows under his long eyelashes, with dots of light dancing in them. The smell of the damp forest of early summer poured in from the slightly open car window, and he opened his mouth, breathing greedily and heavily, the corners of his mouth rising and falling with the laughter of the children. He looked so good, as if he was on his way to Yellowstone National Park.

"Life is like a rushing river." Alan pressed the window and reached out the window, stroking the wind and sunlight, "We always thought that time was passing and stubbornly wanted to grasp something outside the window. But the world outside the window, it has always been there, and it will always be there, and the only thing that flows and rushes is ourselves. This is how life rushes forward, no one can stop it, the earth has experienced a total of five mass extinctions, these seemingly extinct disasters, each time has promoted the development of life more rapidly, the dinosaurs can't stop it, we can't stop it. ”

"When is it? And that?! Who is chasing us?! Brian interrupted Allen, who nervously looked behind him through the mirror.

"Was it the meteorite or themselves that exterminated the dinosaurs? The reef can only be seen from standing on the riverbank. Instead of answering Brian, Alan continued, "When a comet breaks through the sky, it brings both destruction and new life. Brother, my greatest wish in this life is to climb the highest peak in the world and see the scenery that ordinary people can't appreciate. I did it! I climbed the peak, stood on the bank of the river, and got a glimpse of the world and the corner of life. It's just—" Alan turned his head back, his eyes as blue as Coruna's.

"They're catching up!" Brian jerked in the direction and Ford staggered on the narrow winding road.

"Brother! Now, it looks like I'm about to touch the river bank again. Alan is still talking.

The two children also frolicked in the back seat, clapping and cheering, thinking that this was much more exciting and fun than the crazy roller coaster at the amusement park. A swerving downhill result, the car leaping up, and Brian saw through the mirror a few black guns sticking out of the approaching off-road vehicle. "Ahh He couldn't help but scream, but the nearest off-road vehicle suddenly rose without warning, flipped in a circle in the air, and slammed to the ground, and three big men climbed out of the smoke and dust with difficulty.

"What the fuck is going on?" Brian roared out of shape.

Alan rested his head on the seat, his eyes closed, but his hands stopped in the air, as if he had just made a flipping motion.

"Squeak-" The screeching noise and violent vibration made the laughter in the rear instantly turn into an exclamation, and this is the catching SUV grazing the rear of the Ford. Brian's chest also hit the steering wheel hard, he gasped, turned his head to see: Allen was still with his eyes closed, his hands sliding in the air like a Chinese qigong master, and with his vigorous gesture to the right, the car behind him actually flipped out of control to the right into a ravine on the side of the road! The car that fell into the ravine rolled its belly, like an overturned bison, "hum-hum" white smoke, but after a few seconds, it actually rolled over and jumped up and re-entered the chase.

F=ma, Vt=Vo+at, Vt=Vo+Ft, gravity, elasticity and kinetic energy, potential energy, and the law of conservation of mechanical energy flashed in Brian's mind, and his worldview collapsed! What force can push a flipped car out of gravity? He looked blankly and helplessly at Allen, who bared his snow-white teeth and responded to Brian with a sunny and feeble smile.

What does this laugh mean?! Is the X-Men live-action? Superpowers? A flying car also has superpowers?! Brian suddenly understood: this is not good luck!

"Alan? You-" Brian clutched his chest.

"Brother, how much I want you to see the world in my eyes, how much I want to hold up a sky for you and the children, how much I want to let humanity not get lost in the coming storm-"

"Ahh The iron railings along the road ahead were uprooted, and the pillars with dirt cut across the concrete floor, like the fingernails of a giant beast cutting through glass. The long iron bars snaked and crept upon them like the long arms of a giant beast, with the light of fire and with a piercing noise. With a slam brake, Ford spews white smoke and flashes its headlights, standing in the middle of the road and staring at the iron beast. The iron beast danced its long arms, and Ford was like a hurdle master, and in a few easy jumps, he threw the clumsy iron lumps behind his head.

"Bumblebee Transform!" Little Ian yelled in the back seat, and he grabbed Ian's back shoulder, excited to the extreme: "Uncle! It's so cool! I love you! Uncle, I love you so much! I won't be a Wolverine anymore, you are the first hero of the universe, I will listen to you in the future, let me be your most faithful servant and student! ”

Alan reached out to the back seat, and Ian immediately obediently put his head on, like a hungry kitten. Alan laughed: "Brother! This kid is a little bit of me. I hope they can be luckier than me, and they can live a peaceful, healthy, and free life. Ian, don't you like to ride the roller coaster the most, uncle will take you on another ride, how about it? Alan turned his head to look at the off-road vehicle that was clenched like a tail, and his expression was as relaxed and self-assured as if he had just been in a casino.

"Sit down!" He exclaimed with a laugh.

The ford accelerated along the winding mountain road, and as it approached the steep hill on the side of the road, it did not slow down. "Ahh Shrubs and branches rubbed violently under the bottom of the car, and the broken branches and leaves flew away like water splashes, startling birds and insects. Brian and his two children pressed their backs against the seats, and their eyes grew brighter and more open, and Brian inhaled heavily, only the sound of his own "thumping" heartbeat was in his ears. This is a small hill that is not a great shore, it is in the middle of the mountains, but when you come to the top of the mountain, you still have a sense of sudden enlightenment. Brian's eyes were closed, he was waiting for the incoming dive. But the car stopped, it stopped on a half-crippled old dead tree, and the four tires whined in the air.

"This hill is the smallest of all the mountains I've ever climbed, but it's my favorite mountain." Alan opened the car window, his blue eyes were full of colorful glow in the sky, and he was noble and handsome like flashing "gold" in the sunset. He turned his head and looked at the three Brian with gentle and affectionate eyes: "I'm really happy to be with you and the two children!" Brother, thank you! You took care of me when I was young, and now I want you to take care of my daughter. I really owe you too much, Corona will still be handed over to you in the future, I have you in my absence, I believe that her future and the future of the earth will eventually come out of the mud and usher in the light. ”

"What are you talking about, it's your responsibility to take care of Corona! No matter what difficulties there are, we face them together, and a family is to be together, forever together! Brian yelled.

"The family is always together! How wonderful! I also want to - want to be with you, Mom, Corunna and all of you forever, and want to take on the responsibility of raising a daughter. Imagine being the first hero of the universe to save the earth from danger, as Ian said. However, as Albert Einstein said, "Everything is arranged". The long river of time and space has long been cast, and some key points are like reefs in the river that are buried and determined. There will always be some destined people at critical times in human history, who are like a pre-buried chess piece to control the overall situation. In the near future, there will be such a person, or a group of people. But there was no me in there, and my play was about to end. Although I am reluctant and reluctant, the wheel of fate has never been for you and me, including dinosaurs! Elder brother! The future may be difficult and confusing, but I believe that as long as I follow the laws of nature and the ideas I believe in my heart, as my father said, I will not be lost. The universe is grand, the meaning of life is even more profound, don't use the limited knowledge of human beings to feel sorry for the sadness and transience of life, life never really ends! ”

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Brian, who was on a mountain peak or tree, couldn't think normally, and he clung to the handrail by the car window in horror, lest the reality would be gone.

"You'll understand in the future." Alan continued to laugh and said, "But now it's time for you and the kids to go home. ”

With Allen's voice, the car turned around and went down, and the wind whistled. "Ahh

"I can only send you here, you will be safer if you don't stay with me. Brother, I hope my hunch is wrong, and I hope I still have a chance to come back and explain all this to you. Alan took Brian's hand, and Brian buckled it back, hoping to keep the warmth in his hand, but before he could grasp it, the hand disappeared along with the person in front of him.
