XVIII. Departure and Return

"Ladies and gentlemen, the itinerary has changed, please move within the warning area and wait for the next instructions." The ferry's jump alarm came to an abrupt halt, replaced by an icy electronic female voice.

None of the entourage took action, and everyone knew that such announcements would be repeated twice before free time was provided.

The second broadcast did not come as scheduled.

After a long silence, Todd's voice came through the radio, deep and decisive: "Passengers, I am Todd, the Earth observer of this mission, and I am also the accompanying crew member, and I am also the captain of this ferry ship......"

Alisa followed Todd in front of her, feeling a sense of security like never before. Todd's speech was recorded as he looked up at the ceiling, and all he had to do now was go into the main control room and wait for the passengers to vote on a decision after his speech.

"I don't want to pour cold water on you," Todd swiped the tablet next to the main control room, holding Alisa's shoulder, "but I don't think it's going to happen." Too many people on board the ship have families and friends, and letting them choose between two alien beings, three mechanical citizens, a human and their loved ones is a great test of the humanity of all civilizations in the universe. ”

"I choose to believe in the possibilities." Alisa pushed Jianzhou's hand away, "When the vote is passed, it's you who will hurt your face." ”

Todd connected to the main control system, completed the data connection, and motioned for Alisa to begin the hull overhaul and weapons inspection, "Then let's see if your belief pays off." ”

The two of them were silent and began to get busy with their work, and Todd's speech was about to finish, Todd synced the voting interface to Alisa's private frequency band, and Alisa called up the panel data of each hull structure while waiting for the final result.

"Agree: 0 Against: 0"

"Agree: 1 Against: 0"

"Agreed: 449 Against: 0"

Alisa looked at the data that kept popping up in the private band, her whole body burst out with blue light, and she looked at Todd proudly: "You see, this is the power of hope, to believe in the possibility." ”

Todd smiled back, "Maybe my speech is inspiring?" Baby," he turned to face the console, "did you cast your vote?" ”

"Agreed: 450 Against: 0"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Todd turned off the display and began the data transmission, the light windows of the hull were obscured by the outer armor, and the combat weapons on the deck and around the hull were all equipped online.

"Their coordinates, I'll give them to you," Alisa said as she completed the hull assembly, establishing a data connection with Todd, "This was taken from the transmission process, and it may be somewhat damaged." ”

Todd received the coordinates, analyzed them for a while, and then turned to look at Alisa: "Are you sure this is Mr. Chen Jianzhou's coordinates?" ”

"This is what I got with private band interference, and my connection to his mental node has caused me to be able to perceive the receipt and transmission of some of his other information."

"You'd better be mistaken," Todd said again, disconnecting from the main control system, and the ferry, or assault ship, changed direction in the universe, and a familiar jump alarm sounded inside the ship, "because if that's their coordinates, they're in the Dark Universe less than 5,000 kilometers from the M87 fortress." ”

Dark Domain. Alisa muttered the term, which is often a general term for unexplored or forbidden areas of the universe, and sometimes even military exclusions in the universe.

But in this infinite universe, there is still more darkness than light, isn't it? Alisa watched Todd's striding meteor's back and hurried after him.

......

Chen Jianzhou, a geoastrophysicist, the youngest Earth Academic Honor recognized by the United Government, a visiting professor at the United School of Science, and a scientific research advisor to the Celestial Domain Force, can be described as the elite of the human elite, even in the entire cosmic united civilization.

Chen Jianzhou's life has been full of ups and downs, but his tenacious and unyielding character and Taoguang's obscure style have allowed him to never flinch in the face of countless difficulties, and he can calmly solve problems again and again and enter the next stage of life.

But now, Jianzhou is sitting in an abandoned building in the universe, his mind is rapidly comparing the hologram he just saw with his own memories, and Liu Yao and Jer'er beside him have to watch silently.

"It's all fake," Jianzhou returned to the real world, and captured Liu Yao from the perspective of lighting, Jianzhou got up and walked towards him: "Why has no one ever mentioned to me that we killed mechanical citizens with autonomous consciousness?" ”

Liu Yao handed over the black body to Jer, and gradually retreated as Chen Jianzhou moved forward: "We know that no one wants anyone to get hurt more than you, so we lied, and we ......"

Jianzhou adjusted his body structure, and now he is much taller than Liu Yao, he grabbed the folds of the spacesuit and picked Liu Yao up: "Then why bring the containers that failed in the copy plan before the antimatter disaster to be destroyed in the antimatter disaster?" ”

"They can't complete containment, and no one will want to recreate the corresponding chips to give them life, they can only be destroyed."

"Ignorance!" Jianzhou threw Liu Yao to the ground, and the weightlessness conditions caused Liu Yao to land very safely, "The success of the spiritual containment of the copy plan lies entirely in the human race, and the human spirit will enter the four-dimensional level, and complete the transfer by itself in a world where there is no time system, or time is concretized, and the failure can only be due to the failure of the human race!" ”

"Wonderful!" Juda applauded, countless expressions flashing on the display, "And in the four-dimensional world, it is possible for people who are crazy to complete the transfer, only to wake up and find themselves floating among countless fragments, with only the corpse abandoned by God around them." ”

"Don't be arrogant to me!" Jianzhou regained his body, his left arm turned into a light magnetic cannon, and shattered Juda's divine seat with one shot, while Juda didn't get up, Jianzhou stepped forward to suppress him, "You red and black demon, we will be here to thank you, your purpose and motive are still unknown, we have no reason to believe you!" ”

"My motivation?" Juda inserted the monitor into Jianzhou's cannon barrel, "What do you say my motivation for planning in this Broken Temple for four years?" You say my motivation for manipulating these countless corpses to build the trap? Why do you think I invited you here? Hahahaha......"

Jianzhou put away the barrel of the gun and turned it into a hand stretched out to Juda: "Are you willing to tell us?" ”

Juda stretched out her hand and fanned away Jianzhou's invitation, turning over and jumping: "God has forsaken me, I pray for His mercy now," he knelt down in front of Jianzhou again, and the soldiers around him let out a mournful cry with him: "Let me board that ship of hope." ”

Before Jianzhou could respond, Liu Yao shouted in a rough voice behind him: "As far as your mental state is concerned, you can wait for the next life!" ”

Juda's monitor flashed red and stood up in a twisted motion. Jianzhou realized that the situation was not right and quickly returned to Jer's side.

"God has forsaken me again," Juda screamed in pain, her tone suddenly gloomy after a burst of madness, "but it's okay, Jesus died before Judas." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the structure of the building began to crumble, and bursts of blue light began to burst out from under the floor.

"Gravity device!" Jianzhou checked the value of the surrounding vector force field, "He wants to bury us alive!" ”

"Output me!" In the midst of the chaos, Jer hugged Chen Jianzhou and Liu Yao, handed the blackbody device to Todd beside him, and shouted at Jianzhou.

Jianzhou makes the energy output device on the back fit to Jer's body, adjusts to the set energy density output rate, and pours energy into Jer.

"Ahhhh

......

Jianzhou took the blackbody device from Todd's hand and looked at the new ruins in front of him. Due to the vacuum environment, there is no way to transmit the sound, and it seems that there is no way to enjoy this demolition feast in all directions.

"Look, I told you, Lave's quantum transmission ability, I have already done a transfer mark here just now, and I can save us as soon as you supply energy." Jerle floated in the air, happily boasting.

"Yes, yes, you're awesome. I've already sent the rescue coordinates, and I don't know how long I'll have to wait. Jianzhou shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, and the blackbody device in his hand suddenly collapsed.

Smart, or possibly his child, floated in place, much smaller than usual, and Jianzhou and the others looked around him and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wait a minute." Smart responded to the laughter of several people, and the space around him began to distort a little, "I absorb some light and recover my body." ”

"Don't think you'll be able to board your wrecked ship!" Juda's roar suddenly came from the communicators of several people, and they looked towards the ruins, and in the ruinsβ€”no, not only the ruins, but a large number of soldiers began to pour out around the wreckage of the entire planet, and the wolves rushed towards Jianzhou and the group.

Jerje threw Liu Yao a gun blade and pulled him up to his back: "Do you know how to shoot?" ”

Juda crawled out of the ruins and jumped to the top of a column. Liu Yao took aim instantly, pressed the trigger, and a laser burst out, piercing Juda's head.

"A little bit." Liu Yao clamped his legs around Jer's back, "Is it time to ride a horse and fight?" ”

"Is it useful to destroy my container?" Juda's shouts still echoed through the communicator, "There are countless of me here, but you have only one way to die!" ”

"That's really annoying," the Todds removed the magnetos from their backs, "I think it's hard to do this myself." ”

Jianzhou's hands were adjusted to the optical magnetic cannon and the wave blade respectively, and he leaned back to Jer: "Weapon master, what do we do now." ”

With a rare maniacal smile on his face, Gyer took off his adaptive helmet and put on a special mask: "Look at the light that is still growing, let's make a way for ourselves." ”

......

"3, 2, 1, over!" The second jump was complete, and the Todds hurried to their armed posts, waiting for what might begin.

"Did you observe anything?"

"There are traces of energy radiation in the concussive ruins ahead, and life forms have been detected."

"Prepare for battle!"

Alisa was proud and nervous looking at the Todds who were communicating with each other and commanding the battle in front of her, but she knew that in the current situation, it might be better not to meddle casually.

"Is there still a change in energy?"

"There is a point of energy drain...... No, the drain point is gone, and there is no energy change. ”

"#ιšΎι“δ»–δ»¬ε·²η»εΌ€ε§‹θ°ˆε’ŒδΊ†?" Todd joked with Alisa and turned back to continue the voyage, "Report the number of lifeforms. ”

β€œ6。”

"What a joke." Todd synchronized the data of the Todds, and there were really only 6 lifeforms.

The assault ship approached the front of the planet's wreckage, and Alisa saw the vortex-generating machines, large mechanical arms, and platforms she had seen earlier in Todd's field of vision, and then she moved her vision downward.

On the vast wreckage of the planet, the corpses of countless mechanical soldiers float on the ground, and the layers of corpses appear on the canvas of the Dark Universe like works of art.

Right in the middle of the canvas, Chen Jianzhou, Liu Yao, Jer, and the two Todds are bathed in the warm glow of Smart, waving excitedly to themselves.

If there is such an emotion of surprise and joy in this world, Alisa should have experienced it to the extreme by now.
