Chapter 60: Star Trek III
Darkness, heavy, as if solidified, permeated the bridge of the cargo ship.
At this point, all power is to be supplied to the Mass Effect Core first, and lighting and artificial gravity are all turned off. The assault rifle that I once held in my hand was now folded and thrown aside. The plunderers and the plundered of the past naturally clinged to each other, relying on the quality of their connection to counteract the effects of the disappearance...... And that hopeless loneliness.
Even the Krogan people, who are known for their abundance of aggressive warriors...... They think it's an honor to die in battle, but being devoured by a blue giant? That could only be regarded as expanding the way the Krogan people died......
Your grandfather's grandfather was killed by Blue Giant back then~...... Wow, Blue Giant! It's so good~――I feel like I want to cry when I think about it.
But there was still some light in the bridge, except for the ever-brighter, cursed blue light shining through the portholes behind him...... There's also a huge 1ed number that appears above the roof – 4o, ooo, ooo! They've fired the distress signal 40 million times! But seven hours later, the galaxy was still silent, and there was still no response.
"It's five minutes!" Captain Wells dropped his cigarette and stood up, looking at the silent, unresponsive crowd and slapping it hard again.
“! Let's have another round! It's only 40 million times...... Do you want to regret it when you die-ah, damn it, we should have one more time, just a little bit...... Come on! Don't give up, let's fight until the last moment! ”
This guy, who has always been very cold, has also begun to skillfully do the demagogues at this time! But looking at the unwilling flame in his eyes, I am afraid that every word he said at this time was from the heart. Wells had an ideal of his own - unlike those who saw the Cerberus Order as a shortcut to climb up the ladder - he was moved by the dreams of the Phantom Men and volunteered to join Cerberus! So even if he is now doing the business of abducting and selling human beings. The same for a nobler goal in mind!
He is the kind of person who is a philistine on the surface, but an idealist on the inside. Even if the hands are bloody and the whole body is sinful. Wells won't stop either. The second point is that he has the consciousness to bear the sin. Many people think that "they can do things with clean hands"...... If you encounter it, you can't have the best of both worlds. When you have to get your hands dirty when you do things...... Some people choose to give up, but Wells will surely jump into the mud puddle on his own.
“! Another 10 million! '4' is not a good number in the eyes of the Chinese! ”
At his instigation, everyone turned on their universal tools and began to send a distress signal mechanically -- as to whether the person receiving the message would have enough time to arrive -- the question was no longer on the table.
Rather than watching the signs appear in despair, such as the glass of the porthole starting to blur (softening and changing the molecular structure due to excessive radiation), such as the blue glow getting brighter and brighter...... It seems that concentrating on calling for help is not a bad thing.
The so-called falling into the burning of the blue giant star is actually just a romantic fantasy! The real situation should be. Once the ship's hull capacity reaches its limit, they are heated like food in the microwave and slowly roasted...... It's the kind of thing that makes people crazy just thinking about it!
"What's next?! How about 51,888,888?! I heard that in Chinese this number is very ......'auspicious...... Pros'? Wells' words drew a slight burst of Chinese laughter, and some of them responded, "Ah, 51,888,888 is a good number, very auspicious!" ”
Wells laughed along with the men, and Olch next to him turned his head in disbelief, his gaze falling on an inconspicuous number on a small screen in the corner—oo:o4:34.
That's the real killer number. Four and a half minutes to go!
Didi Da , time passed minute by minute. While everyone was immersed in the frenzy of sending messages, Wells quietly left his seat. Walk with Olch around the crowd and into the aisle leading to the engine room.
There, waiting for the two of them.
"The engine has been driven to the limit, and so is the core of Mass Effect, and all the materials that can be cleared have been abandoned...... Sorry, I've done what I can, but there's still nothing I can do to change the fate of this boat. With his unreserved work attitude and strong ability. Wells eventually put him in charge of the engine room. "The engine is running at 15o% power without any problems until now, and I really admire the industrial standard of human beings!"
"Can you get rid of the warehouse?" Old Olch asked anyway. Although 1.6 billion star dollars is an astronomical fortune.
, the quarians shrugged. "It's not very useful, it can delay our cooking time by five minutes at most......"
"Five minutes!" Captain Wells tore at his tie knot vigorously, then took a few heavy breaths. "There is no ...... Significance! This batch of Zero Elements is important to Cerberus, and if it were only for five minutes, I would rather die with my duty. ”
"Maybe ......"
"No maybe!" Wells decisively interrupted Old Olch's words, and he directly crushed the cigarette roll, causing the scorching cigarette butt to squeak and burn the palm of his hand. "It's really possible, it should be...... Maybe it's time to accept reality! Inform everyone and prepare a suicide note...... I'm going to find a box that doesn't melt if it falls into a star...... I wish there was something like this on board. ”
It doesn't really matter if there is such a box or not - there have been so many plane crashes, have you ever seen a last word box being found?! ――The last words were not meant for the living, but only to let the deceased go without regrets...... It is enough for the person who wrote it to believe that the last words will be preserved.
"Maybe not." He motioned for the two men to turn back.
At the end of the hallway, a black crowd of heads was crowded, and countless humans and Krogan stood there in silence, overhearing the conversation of the three of them from beginning to end......
Old Olch the Krogan carefully wrapped a dozen chips, and then on a piece of paper, carefully listed his vision for the future of the Krogan - of course, the genes of himself and the three strongest Krogan warriors in the team were put into the box - if anyone could get their hands on this information in the future, he hoped that someone would continue his ideals and create the best Krogan warriors!
Captain Wells is writing a love letter...... To a woman who couldn't extricate himself after he met, and then had to flee in a hurry. She's in Irim, thousands of light-years away. There is not even a 1 in 1000 million chance that this letter will be seen by her.
, just sitting by the porthole, looking out at the blue giant. He only quietly changed his name to ""-Quarians must belong to a ship." If the name of the ship is not included in the name, it means that he has been banished by the Quarians, which is a disgrace.
"I wish it was Mia~", he whispered to himself, it was the name of the "hometown ship" when he was born. Even the Quarians who live on the ship have a home......
……
“…… Mom wants to grow up with you, watch you enter school, watch you get a girlfriend...... Woo~"
Jenny quickly put down her pen, picked up a glove and bit it tightly, blocking the sobbing in her throat so that her cry would not affect the others. At this time, if a person cries loudly, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a chain reaction.
When the grief subsided for a while, Jenny looked around a little blankly. The entire bridge was silent, except for the rustling of writing. Occasionally, there are people like Jenny, sobbing in a suppressed way, but the people next to them will try to pretend not to hear......
She filled in the last words and placed them in the black metal box in the center of the room—the strongest safe on the entire ship, Wells had promised! - The secret information of Cerberus that was originally contained in it has been completely destroyed by him.
It seems that there is nothing to forget? Jenny thought for a moment, her eyes looked at the left arm, which had been in pain, and although it had begun to ease in the last few hours, it was now starting to hurt sharply again!
Didn't you say you wanted me not to give up?! Didn't you swear to save us?! Thinking of her husband and children who could never see each other again, Jenny suddenly felt extremely hated for Li Huamei in her heart! If it weren't for you, it would be eventful! If not...... When people are in a desperate situation, they always have to find someone to blame......
Jenny stared, panting and searching, and then showed a paper cutter on the table! Everyone around her was doing their own thing, and no one showed her abnormality. Anne grabbed the paper cutter and stabbed her arm hard!
"Ahh Blood splattered ...... Anne's cries of pain were mixed with the screams of those around her. "Wait! What is that? ”
As the skin and muscles of her arm were sliced open, there was no blood splattering - an irregular fragment flew out of her wound. The fragments are thin, the size of a tiny fingernail. It emitted a faint blue light, suspended in the air, and the light rippled along the plane like water waves.
"Looks like some kind of signal source?!".
"Yes...... It was Li Huamei who left in my arm......" Jenny, who came to her senses, muttered. (To be continued) R466
