"Hopefully not for as long as it was before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Rust said helplessly, "Then I'll be here waiting for your good news." ”

After ending the call with Rust, Zhou Xin hurriedly found Spred and told him about the conversation with Rust.

"What? Do you want to take them away? After listening to Zhou's account, Spred frowned and asked, "Are you sure they just want to come with us?" ”

"It should be......" Zhou Xin also frowned, "At least I didn't see anything unusual from the previous conversation, Rust's expression was very natural, not like pretending." ”

"I think you still have to think carefully, don't just absorb anyone just because there is a shortage of people on the ship." Spred persuaded.

"Then reject them so directly?" Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "It's been delayed for so long, if we don't give them an answer, we will leave in a few days, or will we leave secretly if we don't reply to them?" ”

"It's up to you to decide." Spred shrugged, "I'm not in favor of letting someone with an unknown purpose come to the ship anyway, but if you do, then I don't have a problem with that." ”

"Then let me think about it again." After listening to Spred's words, Zhou Xin hesitated a little again. However, before Zhou Xin could think about it, another unexpected thing happened. The day after contacting Rust, Zhou Xin received another communication from Prit.

Just as Christy informed him, Zhou Xin heard a hint of nervousness in her voice, he was a little unclear at first, but when he saw Prit, he immediately understood.

The Prit on the screen didn't look any different from before, but unlike before, there were actually a few people standing behind him, these people had their heads down, looking dejected, among them was Rust, to Zhou Xin's surprise, even Dart was standing behind those people. Unlike the others, he stood straight with a blank face, but Zhou Xin still saw a look of frustration in his eyes.

Glancing at everyone, Zhou Xin's gaze returned to Prit, and now he was looking at Zhou Xin with a serious face.

After looking at each other quietly for a while, Zhou Xin broke the silence with his mouth, "Dear Dean Prit, do you have anything to do with me again?" Did you change your mind and want us to stay? ”

Pratt stretched out his hand and pointed at the person behind him, and said angrily: "Hmph, what am I looking for you, don't you know if you see the person behind me?" ”

"Well, Rust did look for me." Zhou Xin honestly admitted, "But he didn't mention anything important to me. ”

"It's not that important to go with you?!" Pryt was a little excited, "Then what could be more important than that." ”

"You know it all." Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "They mentioned it to me, but I haven't promised them yet." ”

"Just because I didn't say yes doesn't mean I won't be known." "Do you want to sneak them away and wait until I find out that there are fewer people in the base to know where they went?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't have that idea." Zhou Xin hurriedly denied it, "And our opinion is not biased towards taking them away, it's just that I haven't officially rejected them yet, and even Christy is ready to let her go back in two days." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, the people behind Prit became even more depressed, and before Prit could say anything, Rust couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you would take us away before?" Have you been perfunctory to us all along—"

Before Rust could finish speaking, Prit turned his head and glanced at him, and he stopped talking.

Then, Prit turned his head back in Zhou Xin's direction, "Is this your final decision?" He asked.

"Well, I guess." Zhou Xin scratched his head, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

"Actually—" Prit hesitated, then said something that shocked everyone, "I still hope you'll take them away." ”

"Take it away?!" Zhou Xin asked in surprise, "Didn't you mean to let me reject them?" Even those who had been depressed looked up with a look of shock in their eyes after Pratt said this.

"When did I say not to let them go." "I'm just unhappy that they're contacting you behind my back," Pratt continued, and if they had told me earlier, I might have agreed, so why bother to contact you so many times. ”

"Did you know what we were doing from the beginning?" Dart asked in surprise, and when he said this, Zhou Xin finally understood their source of information.

"Hmph, do you think you can hide it from me?" "I found out from the beginning that you were in contact with them, but I didn't know your purpose at the time. Later, I was a little hesitant to learn about your purpose, after all, I was still not sure whether they were friends or foes, so I had to wait and see what happened, and then it dragged on until today. ”

"Then why did you change your mind now?" Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"I haven't changed my mind." Again, Prit gave a surprising answer, "I mean your attitude towards you, and I still can't be sure of your attitude toward us. But—" he paused, "I'm pretty much sure that you're indeed a civilization from our home planet, and it's worth the gamble on that point." As he spoke, he glanced at the people behind him, "And there are not many people who want to go with you, and letting them leave will not affect the normal operation of our base, so I can still accept letting them go with you." ”

"Don't worry." As soon as Prit finished speaking, Zhou Xin assured him without hesitation, "I will take good care of them and will not let them be harmed." ”

"Remember your promise." Pratt sighed, then he turned to the people lined up behind him and said, "Now you are satisfied, why don't you hurry up and clean up and get out?" ”

"Dean—" The men behind him called out in unison.

Prit waved his hand at them, "Don't say anything, I know what you mean, pack it all up." Then he turned his head back in the direction of Zhou Xin, he looked at Christy and said, "As for Christie, let her go with you if she wants to go, don't let her come back." ”

Christy showed a hesitant look and did not answer, and Zhou Xin, who was next to him, replied in her place, "I will ask for his opinion." ”

"Okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing to do, and don't look for me again about contacting these people in the future." With that, Prit wanted to end the communication.

"Wait." Zhou Xin stopped Prit in time, and seeing him looking at him suspiciously, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, we are a little confused about the next journey, and we want to ask you for advice." ”

"Don't thank me, it's their choice." "Just ask any questions." ”

Zhou Xin then asked Prit about the whereabouts of the Voyager that he had discussed with Spred.

"I can't help you with this problem." Pratt said regretfully, "We have analyzed the picture of the other party's arrival on this planet back then, and the other party appeared completely quietly, if they hadn't happened to appear in a position that we could observe, maybe the ancestors would have been wiped out back then." So over the years, we never dared to use any remote devices for fear of attracting those people because I don't know what kind of tracking methods they use. ”

"That's-" Zhou Xin was a little disappointed, and after a while he was relieved, "Okay, then we can only rely on ourselves." At this time, he suddenly remembered the commander on the video, "To be honest, the commander who led you to escape back then was really powerful, and he was able to lead you to a successful retreat in the event of a sudden attack by the enemy." ”

"Actually, it's not a success." Seeing that Zhou Xin mentioned the commander, Pratt said with some heaviness, "After that battle, we lost at least half of the Atlanteans, and in order to save the future of the Atlanteans, many children lost their parents back then. The loss of the population did not recover until the time the main forces left here. But Lord Gurans was a superior commander. At this point, his tone gradually began to become adoring, "In the process of fleeing at first, some of his radical judgments were opposed by many, but what happened later proved that his judgment was correct, and in the successful judgment of the enemy's movements again and again, he gradually won the support of all the Atlanteans." At this point, he gave a look of remembrance.

"I read in one of my sources that even the construction of this underground base was related to him, and the idea was originally proposed by him in order to preserve the fire of the Atlanteans. This idea was opposed by many people at the time, who did not think that the enemy would catch up after the hyperspace jump, but because of the accurate judgment of His Excellency Gurans before, at his insistence, the base was built when we first arrived on this planet. What happened later proved that this judgment of His Excellency Gurance was still correct. ”

"Didn't that planet warship really discover the existence of this underground base back then? With their level of technology, this seems unlikely. Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"Actually, that planetary battleship stayed here for a while." Prit said what Zhou Xin hadn't seen in the video before, "During the time when the Star Battleship was flying around this planet, there was a sense of despair in our base, and some people even began to hate Lord Gurans, thinking that he wanted to keep us here as bait so that he could escape. So during that time, there was basically no activity in the base, except for the normal operation of the life-support device, the people in the base didn't even dare to speak, for fear that the other party would find out about our existence. However, since Lord Gurans left with a large army first, those people seemed to be afraid of losing the traces of Lord Gurans, so they hastily stopped on this planet and left. We didn't even know when they left, and we didn't even realize they were gone seven days after they appeared. ”

"It's so thrilling." Zhou Xin said with emotion, "We only saw the departure of the Daxizhou in the previous video, and we didn't know that so many things happened after her departure. ”

"Telling you so much can be regarded as a reward for you telling us about the whereabouts of the Great West Continent after leaving." Prit said, and then he sighed, "I didn't expect to escape so far, they still found the traces of the Great Western Continent, and I don't know where the clansmen fled next, I hope they can escape safely." Then, his expression changed, "Okay, I've said so much, that's the end of the memories, you better hurry up and get ready to leave." ”

Hearing that Pratt suddenly changed the topic, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, but seeing that he didn't seem to have any idea of continuing, he had to end the communication after a hasty chat.

After turning off the communication, Zhou Xin asked Christy, who was silent all the time: "You also heard what Plitter said, so what do you think now, do you want to go back to the base or stay?" ”

Christy replied confusedly, "I-I don't know, this news is too sudden, you better let me think about it." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin was not in a hurry to urge, "It's good to make a decision before we leave, you think about it here, I'm going to discuss this matter with Spred." ”

Back in the command cabin, Zhou Xin told Spred about the conversation he had just made and his decision.

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this." After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Spred was also very surprised, "Since you have made a decision, then I can't say anything more, but I still want to remind you that when those people first came on the ship, you still have to be vigilant against them, and don't let them touch too confidential things all at once." ”

"Don't worry, I understand." Zhou Xin said, "When I was alone on the ship, I wasn't afraid of you coming to the ship, but I was still afraid of a few Atlanteans." ”

"I hope so." Spred said worriedly.

Ending the conversation with Spred, Zhou Xin and the others put themselves into intense preparations again. In the next few days, Zhou Xin once again returned to the frozen planet to pick up the Atlanteans who wanted to go with him, a total of twenty-three. Seeing that her grandfather and parents were going to leave with the Voyager, Christy finally decided to stay on the Voyager as well.

Finally, Zhou Xin and the others completed their preparations for departure, and this day was the day they left this frozen planet......
