A silent and empty universe with a never-ending dark theme.

The Forsaken spacecraft traveled alone, and the astronauts slept in it, for 10,000 years and 10,000 years.

Many times, intelligent life has the illusion that it is walking with the universe and walking side by side on the track of time towards a great future.

However, this is not the case, the universe does not matter who it is with, in this hidden and dark space, all life forms are just dust in the universe, small and humble.

During the sixteenth dormancy cycle, Hua Kejing became blind due to ocular necrosis.

At the end of the twentieth hibernation cycle, Hua Kejing became deaf again due to the peeling of the eardrum.

Thankfully, the AI can still simulate the sound waves around him directly into his brain.

As a result, Hua Kejing reluctantly returned to the appearance of a normal person.

However, the long interstellar journey has not yet come to an end, and the more brutal physical and mental torture has just begun.

Almost from the beginning of the twenty-second dormant cycle, the taste sense of the VCO mirror gradually deteriorated until it completely failed.

Although he is not a foodie, the process of eating with the same chewing wax does cast a dark atmosphere on the already boring interstellar journey.

Originally, every time I enjoyed meat, I was generally happy, but now I can't tell the difference between beef, chicken or fish.

It was definitely a huge blow that he couldn't get enough of it for a long time.

If it weren't for the perseverance that has been sharpened for a long time, coupled with the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and obsession, Hua Kejing would have collapsed and isolated himself from the galaxy.

However, the cruel environmental conditions are not subject to human will, and fragile life cannot compete with the long time after all, and the deterioration of Hua Kejing's body continues.

At the end of the twenty-third hibernation cycle, Hua Kejing's hair and eyebrows all fell out, and the whole head suddenly looked extremely funny.

In addition to this, there were extensive bruises on his pale, bloodless skin.

After diagnosis, this is caused by cutaneous vascular disease, although it is not fatal, but it intuitively reflects that there is also a big problem in the blood circulation system of Huakejing.

When the interstellar journey struggled to survive the twenty-fourth hibernation cycle, Hua Kejing's teeth also fell out one by one.

Due to the general deterioration of the muscle groups in his body, his movement was already very inconvenient.

For most of the time, Hua Kejing could only lean diagonally on the rehabilitation chair, and was no longer able to complete the maintenance of the Forsaken, let alone carry out the high-intensity work of pod walking.

Fortunately, although the Forsaken spacecraft suffered multiple damages, it did not endanger the overall operation of the ship.

When encountering an unavoidable fault area, Xiaole simply directly blocked the area and gave it up.

For this reason, Hua Kejing is also often injured in the scene, and I really don't know which day he or the spaceship will fall first.

At this time, Hua Kejing was receiving injection treatment arranged by Xiaole.

The scene of treatment was silent and depressing, and one person and one machine were always silent.

From the outside, Hua Kejing's eyes are only empty and sluggish, as if he has long lost his original ambition and passion.

In fact, Hua Kejing spent the entire adjustment period like this, looking extremely weak and unrecognizable all day long.

But Xiaole knows that his obsession is still there, and his heart to live is still there!!

Hua Kejing hadn't checked his basic ability values for a long time, because he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Now he not only has no brain as before, but the most terrifying thing is that the strength and physique assessment scores have dropped below 50 points, which must be almost absolutely inferior to even the most ordinary weak chicken.

So much so that Xiaole was "frightened" when he sent Hua Kejing into the next hibernation cycle, for fear that he would never wake up again.

……

On this day,

In the vast depths of the universe, the bleak Forsaken was lit up again, and she awoke.

Flying back and forth for 250008 Earth years, the Forsaken was close to a thousand light-years away from the Silver Heart.

A thousand light years!

It still sounds far away, but for the Forsaken spaceship, it seems that Hua Kejing only needs to go through one last hibernation cycle to reach it smoothly.

It seems that this long and arduous interstellar journey has finally come to the final level.

Yes, a wild lake is plain, and the gray boats that float quietly in the middle of the lake are finally about to dock.

It's just that the premise of all this is that after all difficulties, Hua Kejing, who is alone, can still wake up smoothly like the Forsaken.

……

In the previous 24 dormant cycles, Hua Kejing had faced life and death difficulties several times, and finally survived strongly.

But this Hua Kejing's situation is more dangerous than ever.

In the real world, Xiaole is doing his best to rescue Hua Kejing's body.

In the virtual world, Xiaole also calls out in his spiritual world through various means.

As if in a dark space, Hua Kejing heard the voices of many people.

"Wake up......"

Hua Kejing, who was sleeping, heard a voice calling to him.

"Wake up......"

Hua Kejing heard several other voices calling out to him.

"Wake up......"

More and more voices are calling to themselves,

Hua Kejing knows,

Among these voices, there is his wife He Xiaomin's,

There are Lao Li and his wife,

There are working partners such as Mao Xianyu and Yang Weilin,

and their own elderly parents,

They were all calling for themselves to wake up quickly.

However, Hua Kejing was still in a heavy coma.

……

Surrounded by a dark background, Hua Kejing is aimlessly aimless in the ethereal space.

It was a feeling that was both familiar and strange to him.

Hua Ke's mirror body involuntarily flew irregularly in all directions.

He wanted to wake up, but he didn't know how!

He wanted to break through the darkness, but he couldn't find an exit!

Hua Kejing's mind has a lot of memories, including the past of the Earth era, the story of the Jupiter system, and the experience of more than 200,000 years of interstellar travel.

"Do you regret it?"

An ethereal voice suddenly sounded.

"Regret what?"

Hua Kejing wandered around in the dark.

"I regret leaving the Galactic Capital, I regret that I set out on the road to the Silver Heart alone, and I regret that I didn't make a choice when I had the opportunity to change the ship's route......"

"I don't regret it."

Faced with a series of assumptions, Hua Kejing just said indifferently.

"Indeed, if I stay with my relatives and friends in the Star River, I will definitely die a happy death. If I had chosen other star systems as my goal, I might have been able to spend the rest of my life peacefully in a strange world......"

"However, if I die like this, all the love, hatred, hatred and hatred buried deep in my heart, and even the traces of the existence of human civilization, will completely turn into nothingness with the dissipation of my consciousness."

"No matter what, I have to let Miao know that we don't give in. Although human civilization is small, just as the mayflies in heaven and earth will not bloom its due brilliance because of its short life, a chestnut in the sea can also be a proud existence! ”

After Hua Kejing finished speaking, the ethereal voice was silent for a moment before continuing to ask him: "In that case, why are you still sleeping, the core of the galaxy has not yet arrived, and your mission has not been completed, how can you die like this?" ”

"I ......"

Hua Kejing has a lot of thoughts, like a drowning person, trying to try his best to grasp something in the void.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice indicated a direction to him, and there was a thick darkness there, without a trace of light.

"It's dark ahead, but you're a lone warrior! The warrior may eventually be swallowed up by the darkness, but the will and glory of the warrior will endure, polish your armor, sharpen your blade, and rush into the endless darkness without hesitation......"

……

"Ah...... Forehead...... Ah......h

In the rear half of the spaceship's chamber, a series of low moans emanated from the square hibernation module.

After two months of rescue, Hua Kejing finally opened his hollow eyes.

"Little music."

"I'm here."

"This is the Forsaken?"

"Yes."

"You've been calling me, you've been rescuing me."

"Yes, you're alive, we're one last step away."

……

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
