The situation is not optimistic, and both Blake and Rey are dazed by the lack of oxygen.

Spelled. Blake gritted his teeth and kicked hard at his feet, taking Rey upward. He was a little physically exhausted, endured the pain of the wound, and struggled to resist the pressure of the water.

Water. Blake and Rey jerked his head out of the water and took a deep breath, giving his dazed mind a little respite.

Eh, what about people......

Blake was shocked, and he looked around, trying to spot an ambush or something.

No. Nothing.

There were some wreckage, engine oil, I don't know whose blood was floating on the surface of the lake, and the air was full of the smell of gunsmoke.

Gaia, Muse...... Blake's heart tightened.

He glanced at Rey on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and paddled ashore.

Under a boulder, let go of Rey, leaned against the stone, and passed out.

……

Awakened by a sharp pain, he gritted his teeth and found a handful of his own hair in his mouth, and dimly saw Rey wiping his sweat and helping him get the bullet.

"Blame me, for making you like this......" He took out the tiny but powerful bullet, then covered the wound with a leaf from a plant that came from nowhere, and then bandaged Blake with a strip of cloth that he had torn a long time ago, and let out a long breath, "Are you awake?" He ran his hand through the wet black hair, "Bear with me, Blake." ”

He gasped softly, "I know what Cassius tastes like." ”

Rey pursed the corners of his lips, "Hmm." Then he sat down next to Blake, "What now?" ”

Blake smiled bitterly, "You're the captain, ask me what to do?" ”

“…… I'm incompetent, and I've burdened you all. ”

"I blame myself for something, I don't blame you." Blake wrung the water out of his hair, then leaned back, "I don't have any strength right now, anyway. If you're going to do anything, you're carrying me behind your back. ”

"No problem. But I'm not going to do anything. Rey slowly closed his eyes.

Blake was also silent.

The two of them were at a stalemate for an unknown amount of time.

The night wind was cold and woke them up.

Blake found himself leaning on Rey's shoulder, and he shifted.

Rey's hand was still hanging from his waist, and he felt the movement and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hmm......? Are you awake? ”

"Uh, you're not sleepwalking?"

In the dim darkness of the night, they looked at each other and smiled.

"How's your wound, does it hurt?" Rey didn't know what to say.

"Huh?" He shook his head.

Rey stroked his hair gently, still drenched. His hand gently touched his helmet upwards and tried to remove it.

Blake felt his movements, and snuggled up, plucking it off himself, his black hair blown away by the evening breeze on a starless night.

"What's wrong, Rey."

Rey suddenly shifted to sit facing Blake.

“…… What's wrong. ”

Then he suddenly approached Blake and pressed his forehead against him.

Blake was stunned.

"You have a fever. I just felt the cold on you, just not sure. Now I'm sure and certain, your wound is very inflamed. Rey pressed his forehead against him, his hands carefully holding the base of his neck and shoulders.

Blake raised his hand and gently held his wrist, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

Then Rey parted ways with Blake, and he shifted back to sit next to Blake, "...... I still don't have much strength. - Blake, you still rely on me. ”

Blake was stunned and didn't move.

"Blake, I'm almost a thousand years older than you. You're a kid to me. Rey wondered what was going on in his mind.

His blue eyes glanced at Rey, whose cheeks were purple by the faint light of the Daredevil Orb.

Rey also noticed that the Daredevil Orb was no longer shining.

Blake didn't say anything, put on his helmet and leaned against the stone.

Rey put one hand on his back, half-pulled and half-hugged him and leaned against him, "I know you're seriously injured, don't move, don't talk, sleep, I'll keep vigil." ”

“…… It's you, soaked in that stuff for a few days......" Blake was a little weak, he leaned on Rey, his eyes closed involuntarily, and he tried to stay awake.

"That's pumping my energy. Unknown liquid used for electrical conduction. My essence is running smoothly now, and it will be restored very quickly. It's you. Rey looked at Blake, who was talking quieter and quieter, and gently patted him on the shoulder to make him fall asleep.

Blake slowly closed his eyes, thinking of the most trusted elf in the whole federation beside him, and his nerves, which had been tense for several days, relaxed slightly.

"If you burn like this, you won't die." He sighed, hugged Blake slightly, held one of his hands, and felt the faint change in body temperature, "...... If you have three long and two short now, I won't play with it......"

"......Shh No. Blake moved his arm slightly, as if trying to pull his hand out of Rey's hand.

Rey just tightened his grip, "Okay, I'm not talking, you can go to sleep quickly." ”

Blake's hands were cold. He did feel cold because of the fever. Rey's temperature, little by little, warmed him.

……

Blake's hand moved slightly.

Rey immediately opened his eyes, looked around nervously, and then looked at him.

There wasn't anything around, and Blake didn't seem to wake up.

"Are you awake?" Rey's voice was soft, and he grasped how loud the volume was so that he wouldn't wake up when he wasn't awake, and he could hear it when he was awake.

Blake didn't open his eyes, "Hmm. ”

"Did you sleep well?" Rey shook his hand, still cold.

"Hmm."

"You speak, I'm scared of you like this." Rey pinched his face.

Blake raised his hand to push Rey away, "I'm fine. ”

"Nothing? You don't believe it yourself. Say, it's still burning. Rey's tone was particularly serious.

"It's fine." Blake still didn't open his eyes.

The sunlight did not shine through the boulder, only a shadow fell around them. Cold.

Rey frowned, "Keep your eyes open and look at me, Blake." ”

Blake opened his eyes a little impatiently, "What's wrong?" ”

Rey stared at him for a few seconds, then stood up and held out his hand to him, "I know about you. I'm going to go find the Cell. Our current physical condition is not going to bring them back. ”

Blake nodded silently, reached out to take Rey's hand, and got up.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Rey frowned disapprovingly.

Blake didn't speak.

Rey shook his head, turned around and took the first step, "The spaceship or something has a very unique magnetic field, you can help me feel it." ”

Blake didn't speak, he raised his hand and gently put it on his head, and the next second, he closed his eyes and was about to plant.

Rey turned around and helped Blake to sit on the ground - not with his head on the ground, Rey let him lean on his shoulder, "Don't scare me!" ”

Blake coughed lightly and didn't speak.

Rey suddenly took off his helmet and put it aside, raised his hand to cover his forehead, his brow furrowed more and more, "Is there any mistake, it's much more serious than last night!" ”

Blake squinted slightly, looking at the anxious Rey.

Rey quickly untied the bandage, looked at the bloody wound, and chuckled inwardly.

Blake gasped a little uncomfortably and gently took Rey's hand.

Rey was a little dazed, he shook Blake's hand for comfort, and then frowned and thought about what to do.

The wound was stained with blood and inflamed.

“…… Bear with it. Rey hugged him slightly, leaned over, held his breath, and sucked the blood himself. One bite at a time, it condenses into a bloody friendship.

…… Re-bandage, find some dry dead grass, and chew it in your mouth.

I don't dare to drink the water of this broken planet.

Rey picked up Blake, "Speak, Blake." ”

"Hmm." He replied weakly, and caught fire against Rey's face.

Boulder Star has changed the eerie ghost weather today, and the heat is unbearable. Both elves were sweating, and Rey slowed down and walked more steadily, "Blake, you can't be lazy to sleep while I'm carrying you." ”

"Hmm." He had no strength, and he didn't have that sharp cold air when he spoke, and he was soft.

"Don't go to sleep, you'll find the Cell." Rey tried to comfort him, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"Lie to yourself." He tried to smile, but suddenly choked on the blood in his throat, and the sweet taste in the light cough was noticed by Rey, and he twisted his neck uneasily, rubbing Blake's head, "Hold on a little longer, it's really almost there." ”

Blake's mouth was spilling blood, and it was dripping and sliding onto Rey's shoulder.

He let out a long breath, "Awake, Blake." ”

“……”

"Are you awake?" Rey asked tentatively again.

No one answered.

His heart tightened, "Blake?!" ”

“……”

"Cloth ...... Black? ”

“…… Awake ......"

"Hoo ......"

"Your concern...... Like pretending to be ......" Blake's head sank, startling Rey.

"Don't scare me, I order you as the captain, Blake, you hold me ......"

……

It wasn't until the hatch finally opened slowly.
