Chapter 141: Arrival at Mornington
But from the conversation between the two scholars, Hai Ge also heard the overtone: the terrestrial scientific community is also working tirelessly to save the planet, and they are not putting all the burden on the Redeeming Light organization. Although humans are not as capable of flying as flies and mosquitoes, and do not have the soft caterpillars on the leaves, they stand at the top of the ecological chain composed of all species by virtue of their wisdom. Then human beings have the responsibility to take on the responsibility of saving the earth.
Hai Ge played with the black pendant hanging from his chest, strange that this thing seemed to have become a little heavier, but no matter how you look at it, it is still an inconspicuous solid square, and there is nothing unusual about it. When he missed Wedel, he naturally thought of success, and after such a long time, he wondered if the robot had filled the brain nucleus with light energy and reassembled into a human form?
In the fantasy, he always wants to stop talking about Wedel, and he is the only one in the universe who understands U-Star and understands Wedel, and if he learns of the death of his master, he will definitely be sad......
Thinking back to the experience of riding the Hologram with Wedel and circumnavigating the Pacific Ocean in a hologram, how happy he was at that time, and how could he have imagined that it was the only time in his life that he walked with his husband......
Haige hated that he always fell asleep when he shouldn't, and if he had been awake at that time, he would have at least witnessed the moment when Wedel succeeded in developing the Super Metal, and cheered with him!
He didn't expect that Weidel would quietly go to Ningxin City to help him avenge himself. After learning about his past and knowing that he had a strong desire for revenge, Wedel once objectively pointed out that it would be difficult for him to deal with the wolf den of the dominant side on his own.
He really couldn't do it, but Wedell helped him do it.
As Wedel had predicted, the knot of death in his heart had been opened, and the heavy burden of his thoughts had been lifted, even though he was immersed in grief, and his eyes, sharp with hatred, had softened.
The train continued for another three days.
Hai Ge didn't deliberately check the time, and couldn't tell whether it was the destination he arrived in the morning or afternoon. The sky remained half-dead at all times, and it was difficult to distinguish between dawn and twilight, but in short, it looked drowsy, as if it was about to collapse and hit the earth at any moment.
He walked off the train with his sore legs and stood on the platform with yellow exit signs.
It wasn't until the huge electronic stop sign with "Burketown Station" written on it came into view, and the corner of the sign showed that it was six o'clock in the afternoon, that he realized that he had been on the high-speed train for seven days.
The news of Wedel's death slowed down the flow of time, and after reading the news report, he was heartbroken and in a trance all the time. Coupled with the fact that day and night no longer rotated, more than 200 hours was just a long and terrible day for him. He vaguely expected that this day would never leave, and the flight attendant never gave him any newspapers. As long as time stops, maybe Mr. Wedel will still appear on Earth.
Unfortunately, the greatest power of time is that no one can stop it from moving forward, and it throws away the past as it goes, ruthlessly helping people to forget. Wedel can't be abandoned by time like this, if he can't even be found in his memory, he really doesn't exist anymore.
It takes a two-hour ferry ride from Burketown to Mornington Island, and after Haige bought a ticket, he walked into the waiting room, leaned against the window railing and faced the water, and began to be in a daze again.
In the illusion, the waters of the Indian Ocean poured into Oceania, and the tragedy of Australia being the first to disappear from the world map has not yet happened, but it is also coming soon.
Most people living in the southern hemisphere are busy fleeing to the north, but the port used to be full of people and countless tourists from the north and south every day, but now the flow of passengers has dropped by two-thirds. Mornington Island is a tourist destination in Australia, but when a natural disaster strikes, who wants to come here?
The ferry, which used to run every half an hour, has now been extended to an hour. Hai Ge waited for a long time before a two-story white boat pulled its whistle to the shore. The disembarkation gate and the boarding gate opened one after another, and when he stepped onto the deck, Hai Ge couldn't help but look behind him, feeling a little reluctant in his heart. He wondered, was this the first step into the ocean?
The ferry sailed on time, standing on the second deck, blowing the hot sea breeze, and Hai Ge heard the two crew members talking worriedly about the future.
One of them exclaimed, "Hey, this is our last week at sea." From next week, all ships on the sea will have to stop sailing and return to port, and I will have to flee to North America with my wife and children. ”
Another replied angrily: "Isn't it, the company said that layoffs will be cut, and that severance pay will be given, how can it compare to the pension that you can get after retirement?" This damn sun actually said that if he turned his face, he turned his face, and made the whole world turn his back! Fortunately, we have worked hard for so many years, and in the end, we don't even have a job, and we have nowhere to reason. You and I are just ordinary citizens, we don't have much money in our pockets, and now everyone is squeezing north, and North America has long been overcrowded. ”
"What?" Haige was taken aback, "From next week, all ships in Australia will be suspended?" The future of fantasy presentations is happening too fast! ”
He was glad that he had arrived at the right time, but he also had to admire Wedel's ingenuity. Sure enough, after human beings expressed their fear of the sky by grounding their flights, what followed was a concession to the deterrence of the sea. So now on Mornington Island, can you still find aboriginal people? If people are all gone, he doesn't have to worry about being detected, which is a good thing......
After thinking about it all the way, before I knew it, the ferry docked. Haige walked out of the ferry dock wearily and stood aimlessly on the white sand.
The reddish twilight clouds over the island, and it is quiet all around, so you can see neither fishermen passing by nor tourists frolicking on the beach.
This tranquility is still a remnant of the past, and it is easy to give the illusion that there is no catastrophe and that it is now time for the islanders to go home as the sun sets. When the sun rises again in the Ming Dynasty, the seaside will be noisy again.
However, Hai Ge knew that the noise would not return, and even after another ten years, the sky above him would remain the same state.
According to the navigation map provided by Professor Li Zhengsong, the secret dock is in the southwest of the island, and the huge reef has built a natural fence to hide it well. It's a pity that I didn't have a compass with me, and I couldn't find someone to ask for directions, so I had to guess to determine the direction, and I walked one step at a time......"
Hai Ge's shortcomings of not knowing the way were exposed again, which made him nervous more than the sky above him. He took out the owl-shaped communicator and found that the communication channel had automatically switched to the terrestrial network state, and the word "ground" appeared next to the full signal.
