"Brother, I was going to die in the plan, you know, I've always had problems with my heart, and I've had to face death every now and then, I've had enough, I've done a lot of things that go against humanity in order to participate in Jiro Oshima's energy experiments, but I don't regret it, my choice is right, but it's not humane, you remember, the right path is often the darkest path, the one that is rejected and no one walks with you."

Hayes's face was losing its color, but the pool of blood beneath him was slowly expanding.

"If I don't die, you won't have a chance to track down the truth of the energy experiment, the truth may shock you, but maybe, I mean maybe, this is the only way to solve the energy crisis and make our descendants no longer be armored rats, remember our way of survival, control life and death, regardless of good or evil."

At this time, a sweaty employee ran to the cubicle with a first-aid kit, Cheng Xu leaned on the door frame to support his body, and made way for him, the employee stepped over Amiko on the ground and handed the first-aid kit to Thomas.

Thomas shook his head in his arms with his father: "No need. ”

Hayes died.

Countless memories of the purpose of the past poured into the periphery like a tide, sadness, shock, loneliness, and countless emotions were mixed.

In the field of vision, a glowing ring flashed above Hayes's body, the same as the circle of light in front of Zhou Zhichu when he died, but it seemed to be farther away, making it look more like a circular chandelier, a beam of particles broke away from gravity, flew to the center of the ring like lightning, quickly disappeared into the deep darkness, and the chandelier was extinguished.

Thomas gasped and raised his hand, pointed at Amiko, and confessed to Cheng Xu: "Tie it up." ”

The employee installed the prosthetic leg for Cheng Xu, and the two worked together to lift Amiko into the wheelchair and push it away, and Thomas wiped his tears with the back of his hand, which was the only part of his hand that was not stained with blood.

"Uncle Zhou, I will continue my father's plan."

Then, he turned Hayes's body over, and the Maya box floated in the plasma, and he picked it up and put it in his pocket, and walked out of the compartment with his head down, leaving a trail of blood dripping all the way.

…

Ten minutes later, Hayes's body and bloodstains had been cleaned by well-trained clerks, and by the time the barbecue bar opened, there was no sign of the bloodshed among the guests.

Upstairs in the secret room, Amiko is tightly tied to a chair with a rope, and a helmet with impermeable light on her head, and when she wakes up, she can't see her fingers in front of her, and she wants to activate the saber system, but she can't identify the target in the dark.

"Your name is Sarah?"

Cheng Xu asked Amiko, who didn't answer him, but attacked in the direction where the voice came from.

The saber system received a conscious command, and the parasitic robot flew out, "Bang! The sound of metal falling to the ground, followed by a screeching sound of electricity.

What was chopped was a megaphone, and Cheng Xu and Thomas were not in the room where she was confined at all.

"Join us." Thomas's deep voice came.

"No!" Amiko flatly refused, and once again mobilized the saber system, this time targeting the ropes that bound her hands and feet and the helmet that blocked her vision.

After the atomic-level parasitic robot broke away from its body, it slammed around inside the rope and helmet, but it was unable to destroy the internal structure of the material, nor could it return to Amiko's body again, as if entering a labyrinth of mountains and rivers.

"Little girl, don't bother, these things are made of feminine materials, and your parasitic system can't cut them." Cheng Xu's voice explained coldly.

"Femtomi materials? How could you have it? Amiko asked a little dejected.

Before the defeat of the government coalition, a large number of technical documents were destroyed, and most of the laboratories and factories were destroyed in the war, resulting in the technology of producing and processing femtomi materials not being inherited by the business alliance.

"Courtesy of Jiro Oshima." Thomas replied briefly.

"Little girl, do you think Jiro Oshima won't guard against you? When you left, he placed an order for the Armored Squirrel Company to arrest you, and he had even the shackles and helmets that were specially prepared to deal with you, do you think you can go back to A28 and continue to be the head of the security section? ”

Cheng Xu added that Amiko was silent, she ran away a month ago, when she judged that Jiro Oshima had obtained Zhouzhi's parasitic system, and at the same time learned of Zhouzhi's death, and decided to use the name of vacation to investigate the truth about Zhouzhi's death.

Unexpectedly, the formal vacation procedures were completed, and the board of directors of Shennong Group also approved the vacation, but I still couldn't hide the old fox Jiro Oshima.

"You have no other choice, help us, or die."

As soon as Thomas's words fell, a neat rifle was pulled.

"I'm not afraid of death, anyway, I've died once, if you kill Zhou Zhen, I won't help you."

Amiko replied categorically.

"Sarah, Zhou's soul is the same as you were back then, in a Maya box, and I need your help to help us resurrect him."

Thomas sighed, Amiko was shocked by ecstasy and surprise at the same time, her body couldn't stop trembling, and the rope of Feimi automatically tightened a little, and her hands and feet were blue.

...

The warehouse at the Armored Squirrel Bar has been converted into Hayes' mourning hall, and the Maya box containing the perimeter is placed in Hayes' black coffin.

Everything that happened in the room where Amiko was held didn't escape his particle vision.

All the doubts in his mind have been solved, and the next plan needs to be completed by Thomas instead of his father, and he has no doubts about the strength and determination of this nerd.

On the night of Hayes's death, he arranged the funeral very efficiently, first secretly connected Hayes's stump, vacated the warehouse and arranged it into a mourning hall, and then sent obituaries and photos to familiar media, in which Hayes looked like an old man who died suddenly of a heart attack, peaceful and calm.

Oshima also called to offer condolences, at least from the sound of the voice, he didn't notice anything unusual, and the two agreed to meet at the energy lab in A01.

The only person who can't be contacted is Natasha, since the end of Zhou Zhen's trial, no one has seen her again, searching the ID database, her ID location has been tampered with, and has been stuck in the long empty Du Kang wine shop, Natasha's work is partially undertaken by Thomas, in addition to medical skills, he also knows some electronic technology.

In the early morning of the next day, Amiko was secretly sent out of the Armored Rat Company, and before leaving, she came to the mourning hall to say goodbye to Zhou Zhen, and the smile on her face that couldn't be hidden was incompatible with the solemn funeral atmosphere.

"Lao Zhou, you have a good rest, listen to me tell you a story, just like when you sent me along the way, you told me a story every night to put me to sleep."

Amiko sat on the ground as she spoke, leaning her back against Hayes's coffin, and her voice became soft: "The little girl you saved back then is called Sarah. Bernard, the daughter of General Bernard, your old rival on the battlefield, Sarah's mother told her before she died that if she was captured by the people of the Enterprise Alliance, she must not reveal her true identity, so she never told you. ”

"More than forty years ago, you were separated from her in the barracks next to A21, and she refused to leave, because she didn't like her father, who had been busy with the war, and she had only seen him twice before she was five years old, and she couldn't even remember what he looked like, and you said at that time that you were experiencing what it was like to be a father for the first time, so why didn't Sarah experience what it was like to have a father for the first time?"

"Sarah, who returned to her father's side, actually didn't forget you for a moment, but her father only used her as a tool, not a little girl who longed for her father's love, he taught her to shoot, assassinate, infiltrate, steal intelligence, command troops, and when she was eighteen years old, he implanted a saber parasitic system for her, turning her into a sharp blade for revenge against the corporate alliance, how did Sarah survive these days?"

"Because she always remembered a promise in her heart, a promise you made to her at the time of separation, when Sarah wanted to go with you, wanted to recognize you as a father, and you refused, on the grounds that your life was too dangerous to take care of her, Sarah was naïve, and puffed up her chest and retorted, 'I don't need my father to take care of me.'" You laughed breathlessly, pulled the hook with her, and asked her to exercise well in the future, and when one day she is better than you and can take care of you, you will be her father. ”

The more Amiko spoke, the lower her voice became, and her smile faded away, constantly wiping the tears from her face.

"Now is the time, but Sarah is no longer Sarah, and I don't know if you will keep your promise."

Zhou Zhen wanted to hug her, or at least nod her head to make her happy, but the deep sense of powerlessness made him very sad.

"Five years ago, Sarah, who was already an official of the Shennong Group, was attacked by a killer during a patrol, and when her life was dying, she was rescued by Jiro Oshima, and just like you now, her soul was also put into that small box."

"Jiro Oshima told her that the soul of a creature is made up of antimatter that can be stored and transferred, so Sarah became the first subject of the Maya box, and the soul was transferred to the body of an unemployed girl, because the girl was Asian, and Sarah also changed her name to Amiko, which is now me."

"Next, I'll help you do what Oshima did to me, is that enough to prove that I can already take care of you?"

At this, Amiko suddenly burst into tears and laughed, then stood up and held out her little finger into the air.

"When you're done with all this, you'll be my father, and you won't be allowed to deny it, whether you're transferred to the body of a bad old man or a little kid."
