Chapter 8: The Luna
There was absolute silence in the duplex apartment, and a snow-white appeared among the several light screens on the workbench, just like the pale face of Li Honey Pot at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Honeypot was sad, he grabbed his hair with both hands to try to make his brain clearer, but there was not much time left for him, he couldn't think of any way to save Zhang Yi and the old man now.
After Sun Ziming's accidental death, the signal was interrupted, all programs were suspended, and the A66 area could no longer be entered, and the only thing he could do now was to keep the communication with Zhang Yi to see them, and the old man and the old man might die because of this. All of this is inextricably linked to him, and if his hands were faster, if the elevator acceleration program he implanted in Europa Prison was faster, none of this would have happened.
He blamed himself for all this, and his immature mind was naturally crushed at once, and snot and tears burst out of his throat, and his body began to tremble, but he clenched his teeth and did not make a sound.
There is no doubt that this moment is the lowest moment in the life of the genius hacker Li Honeypot.
But for Chai Xiaozhi, she has seen too many such situations, she used to fall into extreme self-blame like Li Honey Pot, but at that time Zhang Yi patted her shoulder, and now she patted Li Honey Pot's shoulder and said exactly the same words that Zhang Yi said to her back then.
"You have to remember how you feel now, so whatever you plan in the future, have a plan."
Li Honey Pot barely heard Chai Xiaozhi's words before, but when he heard Plan B, a light seemed to appear in front of him, he didn't have time to wipe the snot and tears from his face, and said quickly in vague words: "Sister, save people." ”
Chai Xiaozhi nodded solemnly, naturally changed positions with Li Honeypot, and then typed an extremely simple two words in Li Honeypot's universal searcher: "Moon God." ”
Li Honey Pot was shocked, maybe ordinary people don't know the meaning of these two words, but as a top hacker, he is naturally familiar with the satellites of the whole galaxy, and he naturally knows that the word 'Luna' represents a long-abandoned satellite outside the Azure Planet!
…………
A cigarette butt was pressed into the ashtray by Charman.
In the extravagant sea view, the smell of dry smoke in the office is a little choking.
Li Xiangdong couldn't stand this smell the most, if he was in normal times, he would have slammed the door and left, waiting for the smell of smoke to dissipate before coming back.
But now his legs are no longer obedient, and the escape plan in the light screen is not as smooth as imagined, and Lao Zhang and the old man are in a huge crisis.
Li Xiangdong didn't know if Lao Zhang and the old man would die in that ugly prison, but the haze in his heart was really overwhelming, he picked up the phone in his hand and dialed it skillfully and quickly.
This call was not to a certain general, or to a capable person who could save Lao Zhang and the old man, but to Erin, who was holding a concert.
In the light screen, Erin's song ended, and the prelude to the next song had just begun, but she saw the agent beckoning from the agent below the stage.
She frowned, she knew something seemed to be wrong.
The old phone in the agent's possession was Erin's second phone, and it had only one purpose, and that was to contact the family who had given her endless encouragement at the small bar.
Therefore, when Erin signed into the brokerage company, she specially instructed that as long as the phone rang, no matter what she was doing, it would be delivered to her as soon as possible, and even wrote this seemingly ridiculous condition into the brokerage contract.
As it turned out, she did the right thing at the time, making a pause gesture to the live band, scurrying down the stage and picking up the phone.
Li Xiangdong's voice on the other end of the phone soon came, and he stated: "Lao Zhang went to save the old man, it's very dangerous now, I don't know if they can get out of danger, and I don't know if Xiao Zhi has a backup plan." ”
Hearing this, all the power in Erin's body seemed to be drained in an instant.
For Erin, she couldn't accept the death of any of the six people in the bar, except because they were the ones who made Erin feel like she was born again, and Erin had seen them as her own relatives all these years.
Especially Zhang Yi and the old man, in the years when she was least recognized, it was Lao Zhang who pressed her head with a generous palm and said lightly: "If you can't do it, just continue, is there anyone in this galaxy who succeeds because of chance?" ”
The old man would be kinder and repeat a truth: "No one is born to run, and everyone has fallen countless times before they can run." ”
Although the old man didn't know where he went, and there was very little contact, the relationship between them was already family affection, and it would not be diluted because of time, and time could only make the feelings between them more mellow.
So after she heard Li Xiangdong's words, not only did it seem that all her strength had been drained, but her brain was also blank for a moment.
But she still came back to her senses quickly, because she knew that her ability was difficult to do, and Li Xiangdong called her, so it must be that she could do something within her ability.
"They can hear you sing now, and they all love to hear you sing, and sing a good song to them."
Erin said 'um', then walked onto the stage, took the microphone, and borrowed an acoustic guitar from the guitarist, the lights on the stage quickly focused on her, and she whispered to all the fans with a moist smile in her eyes, "Sorry, I just received a very important call." ”
…………
The elevator is still rising rapidly, and Zhang Yi's choice is extremely simple, which is to climb to the top of Europa Prison.
Europa Prison is located in the deep sea, and the only entrance and exit is indeed only the submarine port, but on the top deck there is the sunlight that the staff in the deep sea needs most all year round, and there is naturally a sky when there is sunshine.
Now Zhang Yi needs the sun and the sky, and the old man needs it even more.
This choice seems to be extremely correct at this time, the submarine port in the A66 area is completely blocked by AI control, and no matter what you can enter, it can only be a battle of trapped beasts in the end, and there is no chance of winning.
But on deck, it was different, although Plan B was very risky, Zhang Yi knew that at least there was still life.
He has experienced countless lives and deaths in his life, and he knows better than anyone that the best option in a life-or-death situation is to persevere and not give up any hope.
What's more, if Plan B is successfully implemented, he definitely does not have a glimmer of hope.
However, the people in Europa's command room didn't know where Zhang Yi's confidence came from, and as early as when he and Xing Dahai entered the medical room, Solo notified the military base on the Azure Planet for safety.
The three major coastal military bases have sent one-third of their troops, and the water that has already blocked the prison of Europa with amphibious land and sea is blocked.
Therefore, Zhang Yi said ironically: "Let's go see the sun, and then you will be the day." After that, Solo didn't immediately shoot back.
He was looking forward to Zhang Yi's expression when he saw the sun, and he thought that Europa Prison was in control.
…………
Europa Prison is also in control.
When a ray of sunlight shone on Zhang Yi's eyes through the broken elevator door, he narrowed his eyes, and at the same time he saw the picture in front of him.
In front of them, more than 3,000 semi-automatic marines lined up and scattered to form a huge encirclement, the camouflage uniforms they wore were connected together as if building an impregnable camouflage trench, and the countless muzzles of their guns were all locked onto the target, densely packed with a strange power that made people look as if their minds would sink into it.
Behind this camouflage trench was a steel wall, and countless silver mechs reflected good sunlight and waited calmly.
There was also a roar in the sky, and more than 100 fighter planes were constantly circling around the butterflies, and under the wings of these fighters were one after another elliptical top sharp bombardments, and in the cabin with the open door, there were also heavy fire machine guns like beasts ready to strafe at any time.
However, this was not the end, after Zhang Yi appeared on the deck, the originally calm sea water suddenly surged, setting off a stormy wave.
Naturally, what emerged from the sea was not a deep-sea monster, but a swarthy black submarine that was even more terrifying than the deep-sea monster.
These submarines did not have artillery, they just sprung up in the sea one after another, and the black backbone was already showing up in less than a minute, as if countless black boulders had grown in the sea, and these stones formed a continent on the surface of the sea after being spliced together.
Such a big battle and such a terrifying situation naturally made Solo Luo's heart go to his stomach, and he picked up the communicator and said, "Zhang Yi, don't you think we should sit down and talk seriously about it now?" ”
Zhang Yi didn't answer, but his slightly narrowed pupils gradually opened a little, and the old man behind him, Xing Dahai, said something very inconsequential: "The sunshine is so good." ”
…………
No one at such a moment would pay attention to whether the weather today is sunny enough.
Chai Xiaozhi, who was sitting on the workbench, was already nervous to the extreme, and she couldn't calculate how long Zhang Yi could hold on now, she only knew that the sooner she could, the better.
And Li Honeypot, who was standing next to her, had already covered his mouth and nose with his hands, he was a little nervous and couldn't breathe, he didn't know what plan B could make Lao Zhang and the old man get out of the cage, all he could do now was pray sincerely.
…………
The same is true of the office of the São Sophie, which is blocked by curtains and closed by doors.
Charman smoked his dry cigarette in one gulp, and at some point there was already red blood in his eyes, and these blood streaks were increasing rapidly at a rapid rate.
Li Xiangdong was relatively calm, because at such a moment he still sat on the sofa and did not speak.
Only he knew that he didn't have any strength in him right now, he couldn't stand up on his legs, he couldn't lift even a finger, all he could do was pray.
…………
There was darkness inside the Freedom Stadium.
A spotlight fell on Erin, who was carrying a guitar, and she looked at the blurred faces below, watching as the silver rod held high in their hands put the microphone into the golden stand that had been prepared for the next song.
Then, instead of following the previous words about what had come from the phone, she whispered something from the past.
"I can't remember exactly how many years ago I went into a small bar and sang a song about whether the bar owner decided to hire me."
There were enthusiastic fans in the audience who shouted in a high-pitched voice that could be heard in almost every Liberty Stadium, "Did you hire you?" ”
Erin Lu, who didn't know what was going on on the other end at this time, shook her head and said, "No, I finished singing that song, and there was only one table in the audience applauding and looking very excited. ”
"I'm glad that there is such a table of people who will applaud me, because I was nervous that day and sang very hard, I can see some disbelief in the eyes of the guests at the other table, maybe they are stunned that I sang so badly and dared to run to the bar to apply, and even the bar owner who was full of expectations for me before frowned."
"I know this job is in vain, but I am grateful to the people at the table who applauded me, so after the singing, I used my remaining fourteen Starlink coins to buy a glass of wine with an unknown name, and then I trembled and walked in front of the table applauding me, thinking of saying something of thanks, but the six people at the table did not give me a chance to speak, and collectively raised their glasses."
"Then, we had our first drink together."
Speaking of this, Erin scratched her head, with a thoughtful look on her face, and said in a slightly provoked tone: "I don't know why that glass of wine is sweet, but I know that my empty glass was quickly filled again, and everyone raised their glasses again." ”
"In the end, I drank a total of seven glasses of wine."
Erin pursed her lips, a smile appeared on her cheeks again, and after a pause, she continued: "Later, the six people at this table gave me bread when I was at the lowest point in my life, strengthened my ideals, and encouraged me to keep going. ”
"Today, they have naturally become my family."
"But the phone call just now told me that two lovely uncles in my family are in danger right now."
The noise in the Freedom Stadium was completely gone, and Erin's words fell silent.
Erin frowned and said calmly but seriously, "I don't have any ability to help them now, but I know they can hear me now, so all I can do is sing one of their favorite songs, the one that I sang when we first met, and use this song to tell them that I am there for you." ”
After saying this, Erin let go of her brows, pinched the chords of the guitar with her left hand, and asked playfully: "Old Zhang, old man, what'sup!" ”
…………
Everything Erin said was transmitted through the light screen of that office into the distant apartment, and also into the ears of Zhang Yi, who was surrounded by many people.
Zhang Yi greeted the sun, turned the volume button of the headphones to the maximum with his left hand, and showed a smile to the sky that seemed extremely weird to everyone.
Chai Xiaozhi tapped the keyboard heavily at this moment, and the sweat on her forehead was thrown away by her somewhat venting movements.
At the same time, with the sound of her tapping on the keyboard, a moon of Luna, which was floating in the outer space of the Azure Planet, was covered with an unknown amount of dust, and suddenly the light burst into light and illuminated the surrounding dark star fields.
The luna moon began to spin with great difficulty, and the loud roar of the 'click' seemed to tell that it had been asleep for too long, and that the old parts could no longer withstand the ordinary movements.
But when it finished spinning, it seemed to regain all its youthful vitality, and the huge cannon-barrel-like mechanical tube under the satellite smoothly opened countless fan blades, and with a loud 'bang', the Luna satellite fired an inky beam of light towards the blue planet.
…………
"Launch successful."
Chai Xiaozhi's words sounded in Zhang Yi's ears.
Zhang Yi finally restrained his smile that was a little weird to the people in Europa Prison, facing the camouflage trench composed of 3,000 people, the steel city wall composed of mecha groups, the hundreds of hovering fighters carrying him in mid-air that could blow him to ashes at any time, and the countless huge submarines in the ocean that seemed to form another continent, squatting slightly.
After he made this move, a streamer appeared above the blue planet.
The color of this light is very strange, it is actually jet black, and countless flames seem to be rubbing out around it because of the rapid falling speed.
Immediately, the people realized that it was too late to raise their heads, and they could not stop the violent fall of the streamer.
A huge roar soon sounded on the top deck of Europa Prison, and at the same time, a fighter plane in the air that was hit by a black spot was like a bird hit by a shot, struggling and circling in mid-air, and finally fell into the sea and smashed into the submarine, and the front end of the camouflage trench was flown up by many people because of the violent vibration, and the black muzzle in his hand could no longer be aimed at the target.
But more fighters locked onto their targets, more semi-automatic Marines were engrossed in holding their breath, and the goggles in front of them helped them see through the dust.
In the dust and smoke is an inky black object, and instead of reflecting the sunlight shining on it, it gives the illusion that the inky black is swallowing the sun.
But although the sunlight can't shine on the inky black object, it can make people's vision clearer, and people can finally see what the inky black object is.
It's a mech.
A heavily armed war machine!

Book a recommended ticket for next week, and the thugs will rush to the list, lalala.
