Chapter 57: Confrontation
Seeing that the siblings had finished eating, Christy, who was standing at the door, spoke again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Have you eaten enough? Do you want me to get you some more? β
"No, no, no." Hearing Christy's question, this time the alien girl's tone was obviously different from before, and she seemed to be much more relaxed, "I've eaten enough." The little boy sitting on the bed didn't answer, but he kept nodding his head there. Then the little girl complimented, "Your food is so delicious, much better than what we eat ourselves." While complimenting, her face also showed a look of unfinished business.
Hearing the alien girl's answer, Christy's face also showed a happy look. Then, tentatively, she asked, "Now that you're full, can you answer me a few questions?" β
After Christy's question, the little girl's face showed a look of hesitation, and after turning her head to look at the box where the food was placed, she finally made up her mind.
"Well, if you have any questions, just ask."
Hearing this answer, Christy breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked, "After so long meeting, I don't know your names." Let me introduce myself, my name is Christy, and I'm an Atlantean. What about the two of you, what's your name? β
After a moment's hesitation, the little girl replied, "My name is Aina." Then she pointed to the little boy behind her, "This is my brother, his name is Blue, and we are both Azteca. He said a very strange name.
After Aina finished answering, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. Zhou Xin saw that Christy was standing at the door of the room with an embarrassed face, and there was a look of anxiety between her eyebrows. But Aina didn't seem to see it, and she was still quietly waiting for Christy's next question.
After a few minutes, seeing that Christy still showed no signs of continuing to ask, Aina finally couldn't help but urge, "Do you have any questions?" β
The expression on Christie's face became even more embarrassed, and she struggled for a while, but finally replied honestly: "This--the captain just asked me to come in and communicate with you, and I don't know what needs to be communicated." β
"......" On the screen, Aina has a speechless expression, but her brother Blue doesn't seem to understand what is happening, and now he is looking curiously at the edge of the empty box. Outside, Zhou Xin once again helplessly held his forehead and said to himself, "It seems that it was really a wrong choice to ask her to go in." β
After saying this, even Christy herself felt embarrassed, and in order to remedy, she hurriedly added, "I'd better call the captain in, he should have more questions for you." β
"Don't!" Aina shouted, "Don't let anyone in!" Hearing this cry, even Blue next to him looked at him curiously. After subconsciously shouting, she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to treat Christy like this, "ThisβI meanβ" The little girl anxiously explained to Christy, but the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't explain it clearly.
However, Christy obviously understood Aina's mood now, and she comforted her: "Don't be nervous, it was the same when I first came here, I just don't call the captain." β
Hearing Christy's reassurance, Aina calmed down a little, and then a curious look appeared on her face, "When did you first come here?" Aren't you a local either? β
Christy shook her head, "No, I only came to this ship later. She then briefed the two siblings about what she had experienced when she first arrived.
Then the siblings were captivated by Christy's story, and they listened quietly to Christie's story. However, although it was a brief introduction, it took Christy half an hour, and after speaking, her face clearly showed a tired look, and at this time she could only cheer up and look at the sister and brother who were listening quietly in the room.
After Christy finished speaking, the siblings seemed to be still immersed in the story he was telling, and did not speak for a long time. After a few minutes, Aina finally came to her senses, and then she asked in amazement, "Is it true that we are on a spaceship?" I thought you were lying to me. β
"On the ship, of course." Christy confirmed, "Where do you think it would be?" β
"I was on the ship before, and I didn't feel like I was here now." "There was no bump at all here, and at first I thought it was at least on an asteroid." At this point, she began to ask, "By the way, what about the ship I was on before?" What happened to the people above, have you found my parents? β
Christy shook her head, "I don't know about this, I was also pulled here by the captain all of a sudden, in fact, I don't even know how you got here before, but I heard the captain say that your situation is very similar to mine, and then I came in." β
Hearing Christy's answer, the little girl's face showed obvious disappointment, and seeing the expression on her face, Christy added: "I'd better call the captain in, don't worry, he is a good man, and he was the first person I saw when I got on the ship." β
Aina didn't answer, but she shook her head firmly, and suddenly Christy looked embarrassed, "You want to know what's going on, and you don't want to go to the captain, it's hard for me to do it." Just as she had said that, the scene fell silent again. The awkwardness didn't last long, though, and a few minutes later, a voice came from Christy's body.
"Since you don't want to see me so much, let's talk a little bit in this way." Christy's communicator rang, and Zhou Xin's helpless voice came from inside.
As soon as Chu heard this voice, the look on Aina's face became vigilant in the blink of an eye, "Who is it?!" She shouted in the direction of the door. Blue, who was fiddling with the box on the bed, also looked up, his eyes looking around curiously.
Hearing Zhou Xin's voice, Christy took out the communicator from her pocket, and then waved at the two siblings, "Don't get excited, it's just a communicator." β
Under Christy's explanation, Aina finally regained her previous composure, and then she asked suspiciously, "Are you the captain of this ship?" β
"It's like a fake." Zhou Xin replied, "Let me introduce myself first, I am the captain of this spaceship, the Voyager, and my name is Zhou Xin." β
After hesitating for a while, Aina replied, "Captain Zhou Xin, hello, I'mβ"
"Needless to say, I heard all of your previous conversations outside." Zhou Xin interrupted, "I'd better answer your previous question." After a pause, his tone became heavy, "The ship you were on earlier has become a cosmic wreck. β
After saying this, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again, and Aina froze for a moment, and after a few minutes, she showed an expression of disbelief, "Youβyou mean the ship-"
Zhou Xin nodded slowly, and then continued: "Not only the spaceship you are on, but the entire fleetβ"
"So my parentsβ?" Just after Zhou Xin finished answering this sentence, Aina shouted with a crying voice.
Zhou Xin shook his head, "From the ruins of the entire fleet, we have found a total of three survivors, and two of them are you. β
"Whoever is the other one, take me to see it." Aina asked eagerly.
"You can't see him just yet." Zhou Xin continued to shake his head, "That person is now seriously injured and is still being rescued. β
Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Aina's face was instantly filled with a look of disappointment, and then she lowered her head and sobbed in a low voice, while her brother still didn't understand what Zhou Xin's words meant, he was still playing with the box.
A few minutes later, Aina was still sobbing in a low voice, Zhou Xin had never had a good way to do this kind of thing, he could only watch helplessly outside. Christie, who was standing at the door, had a hesitant look on her face, and after a while, seeing that Aina didn't seem to stop, she began to slowly push open the cabinet at the door. This time, Aina didn't stop her, but let her push open the cabinet and walk to herself. When Christy walked up to Aina, Aina hugged Christy and cried loudly. At this time, Blue heard Aina's cry, he looked up curiously, and when he saw Aina crying, he opened his mouth and said, "Sister don't cry, don't cry." But it was obviously useless, and Aina continued to cry.
Holding Aina, Christy whispered comfort, and after a long time, her crying gradually subsided, but her shoulders still twitched, and her mood did not seem to calm down. Nearly half an hour passed, and Aina finally reluctantly accepted the reality of losing her parents and quieted down.
And outside the room, at the beginning, Zhou Xin actually had a lot of questions for Aina. However, seeing that she was now immersed in the pain of losing her parents, he gave up the idea for the time being. At the same time, the Voyager reported to Zhou Xin that something unusual had once again occurred on the planet's surface. After explaining to Wren, Zhou Xin left here and returned to the command cabin.
"What's happening on the planet's surface?" As soon as Zhou Xin stepped into the door of the command cabin, he asked directly.
"The war on the planet has broken out again." The answer to this question was Dart, who had been in the command module, and now his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Another skirmish?" Zhou Xin asked casually, but at this moment he had a faint premonition in his heart, this time I am afraid it is not so simple.
Sure enough, Dart's answer confirmed what he thought in his heart, "I'm afraid this time it's not a skirmish, both sides have mobilized more than a hundred large warships, but now the two sides haven't fought for the time being, just facing each other in the area near the equator." While listening to Dart's words, Zhou Xin walked to his seat, and then he looked up at the big screen.
Now, the screen is focused on the two fleets near the planet's equator. Zhou Xin saw that the ring composed of two flying machines near the equator had completely disappeared, and in its place were two very large fleets, which were facing each other from afar across the equator. Since there was no fighting between the two sides at this time, the battlefield was now in an eerie calm.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the command cabin was unusually quiet, and everyone looked at the two fleets on the screen silently, wondering what would happen next. However, more than ten minutes have passed, and the two fleets in the camera are still only stopped at their respective positions, and have not made any further moves, and not even one of the aircraft has been released.
Seeing that there was no movement from the fleets of the two sides for the time being, Zhou Xin opened his mouth and asked, "How long have the two sides been facing each other?" β
"Shortly after you left the command module." Dart replied, "At first, the two sides only sent a dozen warships near the equator, and I thought that a new round of local conflict was about to begin. But this time, after the warships of both sides stopped near the equator, they did not release the aircraft used for the battle. At this time, I thought it was a little strange, and then, the two sides began to replenish new warships around these dozen warships. Then in less than half an hour, the vicinity of the equator became like this. Dart snorted angrily at the big screen, and at this time, Zhou Xin just happened to see the scene Dart said, and several more warships appeared from the direction of the two continents. After rising to the heights, the warships that had just taken off on both sides flew towards the area of the confrontation between the fleets, and on their paths, there were also another group of more than a dozen fleets heading to the confrontation area.
"What are they going to do now?" Zhou Xin asked strangely, "If a war breaks out, it's not like it, if there is no war, then what's the point of the two sides gathering so many warships here." β
Hearing Zhou Xin's question, Dart began to express his speculation, "Maybe both sides really want to go to war, but in this situation, maybe they are not sure that they can defeat each other now, so it has become the current state of confrontation." However, judging from the fact that both of them are constantly increasing their troops, the next big battle is inevitable, and now it depends on which of them can't hold it first. β
After listening to Dart's speculation, Zhou Xin first thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement with him......
