Life is like a goodbye, softly saying goodbye to everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there another way?

Xiao Cheng looked at Xing Lan in surprise, and after a while, he shook his head: "Don't comfort me, I know it's bad, but there's no point in deceiving yourself." ”

"Not really!" Xinglan pulled Xiao Cheng's spacesuit, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with being misunderstood, "That, isn't there a sleeping cabin?" Xiao Cheng, you go back to hibernation, and then when the future civilization develops a way to solve this physical problem, wouldn't it be good if I woke you up again? ”

The warm sun shone on the nascent ocean, and there was an eerie silence on the sparkling waters, where the sea breeze blew across the shore......

If we fast forward hundreds of millions of years, we might be able to see a flock of pitch-black crows flying in line, leaving a trail of enigma punctuated......

If we had fast-forwarded hundreds of millions of years, we might still be able to hear the crows crying out in hoarse voices: "Fool! Fool! ”

Of course, time doesn't fast forward, so there's only a mysterious silence here.

……

"Ahhh If you have this way, why didn't you say it earlier? No, why didn't I think of it! Xiao Cheng hugged his head and went crazy, "Give me back what I was touched just now!" ”

Xing Lan watched curiously at Xiao Cheng after being crazy for a while, then suddenly bent down and rummaged on the ground, as if looking for something......

Xinglan couldn't help but stepped forward and poked Xiao Cheng: "Xiao Cheng Xiao Cheng~ What are you looking for?" ”

"Xinglan, ah......" Xiao Cheng said as he flipped the gravel, "Do you know the five-second rule?" ”

"Eh......" Xinglan bit her fingers, her face was very confused, "The five-second rule? ”

"Well, the so-called five-second rule, that is, ......" Xiao Cheng stopped turning the gravel and looked up at the sky with inexplicable sad eyes, "Throw it on the ground, pick it up and use it within five seconds!" ”

……

“…… But Xiao Cheng, you've been in a daze for more than five seconds......" The honest Xinglan once again gave Xiao Cheng a fatal blow with his natural personality!

So, the background around Xiao Cheng instantly darkened, silently squatting on the ground, stretching out his fingers wearing spacesuit gloves, and kept drawing circles on the ground, and thought: "Is it really no longer usable...... Isn't it really useless anymore......"

Xinglan: "......"

That, Xiao Cheng, what is the strange black gas that seems to be permeating behind you......

"Forget it......" After drawing hundreds of circles, it seemed to relieve the depression in his heart, Xiao Cheng stood up again, looked at Xinglan, and showed a dazzling smile like the sun, "At least in this case, there is still hope......"

"Hmm!" Xing Lan nodded, "Xing Lan doesn't want Xiao Cheng to leave ......"

"Ah......" Xiao Cheng instantly showed a healed expression, "Sure enough, Xiao Xinglan likes me very much...... This life is worth ......."

"Hmm...... I like Xiao Cheng~" Although she couldn't see the smile in her eyes, Xing Lan still narrowed her eyes slightly, "According to the creature, this kind of kindness ...... Xiao Cheng feels like a father~"

"Poof!" Xiao Cheng spurted out a mouthful of blood again and fell to the ground in an instant, and the mask of the spacesuit was blood-red. From a somewhat enigmatic point of view, it is clear that his heart has been pierced by an arrow called "Father......

"Uh......h Xiao Cheng, what's wrong with you? Sober up! ”

Although I don't know if a certain star is intentional, but ...... Sure enough, natural black is the most terrifying?

……

The Moon of Thunder, the Dead.

The Nova approached an entrance on the ground that was only slightly larger than the ship, and because the electromagnetic field of the Dynamism was still very strong, the ship switched directly to the geomagnetically driven mode and slowly fell into the base.

Touch!

With a slight collision, the capsule-shaped spaceship docked in the center of the warehouse hundreds of meters below the surface of the planet, and at the same time, ......

"Click-click-......" Accompanied by the noise of large machinery, dozens of layers of protective armor in the high place slowly closed, covering the brilliant sky with lightning flashing.

After the last layer of armor was closed and locked, the Nova was completely sealed in the depths of the underground base, and in this situation, although it was not possible to say that it could block the star-level explosion of the planet maker, it certainly exceeded the standard of the general civilized anti-nuclear bomb bunker.

"Then there's still a lot of work to do." Xiao Cheng turned around, looked at the girl behind him and smiled, "Can you help?" ”

"Absolutely."

……

The nova rested quietly in the center of the warehouse, and the capsule-shaped alloy casing was no longer completely closed for cosmonautics, but opened countless small gaps. In these open gaps, a large number of cables of various colors protrude from the interior of the ship, connecting to the main lines of the surrounding bases. Some construction machinery controlled by the base's intelligent host is patrolling back and forth in the vicinity, closely guarding everything here...... Although they do not have advanced artificial intelligence, they can still do a simple security job.

"Because considering that this hibernation must be at least in 100 million years, I need to adjust the hibernation pod to the highest mode for such a long preservation." Xiao Cheng carefully pinched a cable to access the socket, "In this mode, the inside of the hibernation chamber will be infinitely close to absolute zero, that is, the state of particle motion is almost stationary, and only in this way can it carry out a 100-million-year hibernation." However, the reason why this method was not used when traveling in the stars before was because the energy consumption of this method was so terrifying that the collection of antimatter particles was not enough to provide it. ”

"But now that we have the entire satellite's Raft Electric Cloud gas for energy, it's fine." Xinglan's fingers moved rapidly, adjusting the position of the line accurately, "That's why you need to connect the nova and the base master energy pipeline?" ”

"Yes, and multiple cables are needed to be spared." Xiao Cheng looked up, "Although absolute zero makes the internal parts of the dormant chamber not damaged, the external parts will still wear out for a long time, even if this place is pumped into a vacuum. In the case of automatic maintenance by external unmanned machinery, there must be other backup pipes to provide energy, because ...... Once the hibernation mode of the highest level is aborted, the wear and tear inside the hibernation chamber will be exposed at once, and the hibernation chamber will be completely broken. ”

"How do I think it's like Xiao Cheng, you once said that Kong Ming's Seven Star Lantern continues to live......" Xing Lan blinked, "The last chance is only once or something." ”

"It's really similar to hear you say that, so I'll leave it all to you, the lamp keeper." Xiao Cheng snapped and closed the cover and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then this is done." ”

"Divert pipe buffer pressure...... No problem! Xinglan looked at the display next to her, "The energy is steadily incoming. ”

"Whew...... It's really tiring work. Xiao Cheng wiped his sweat, his face became even weaker, "The external energy pipelines are all connected, and the maintenance software is also entered into the database of the main base, which can be synchronized to the individual of all unmanned machines." ”

"Xiao Cheng Xiao Cheng ~ Do you want to rest for a while?" Xinglan walked to the side and asked.

"There's not much time left...... Xiao Cheng shook his head, "When you go into hibernation, the worse your physical condition is, the harder it is to wake up, so ...... Let's get started. ”

"Huh...... However, we don't know if we can really wake up...... Won't you stay a little longer? ”

"No need." Xiao Cheng touched Xinglan's head, and then pressed the button on the hatch, "In order to live a few more days now, it turns out that I won't be able to wake up when the time comes, it's not cost-effective......"

"Hmm."

……

In the Nova's control room, white lights lit up one by one, illuminating the hibernation pod connected to the wall. Aside from the clear glass at the head, the completely sealed, metallic silver hibernation pod looks ......

"It's like a big coffin!" Xiao Cheng smiled helplessly, "I have to lie down in this thing again...... It's a cold feeling. ”

Seeing Xiao Cheng open the hatch and lie down completely with his whole body, Xing Lan stared at Xiao Cheng's figure: "Xiao Cheng Xiao Cheng ......"

"Huh?" Xiao Cheng, who was just about to close the hatch, looked at Xing Lan, who was looking very uneasy.

Xiao Cheng ...... You, there's nothing to forget, right? ”

"Hehe......" Xiao Cheng smiled softly, "What?" Xiao Xinglan can't bear me? ”

"Huh?" Xing Lan subconsciously took a step back, shook her head, and showed a hint of panic on her face, "Cai, it's not it, it's just asking......"

"But if you want to say regrets, there really is one~" Xiao Cheng shrugged exaggeratedly, "I didn't see Xinglan so sad that she cried~"

"Hey!"

"Just kidding~ don't mind!"

“…… This joke isn't funny at all, hey! Xing Lan looked at Xiao Cheng's eyes seriously, "Let's ...... Will we really be able to see each other again? ”

"I'm going to be lazy and rest first......" Showing a sunny smile again, Xiao Cheng no longer hesitated, and gently closed the hatch, "That question, I have to ask Xiao Lan you~"

“……”

[Sleep mode is confirmed to be on.] 】

Xinglan stood outside the dormant cabin, watching Xiao Cheng slowly close his eyes, and the cabin was quickly filled with a white mist-like substance.

The cold system audio reports one progress after another......

【Cabin cooling ......】

【Blood anticoagulant injection ......】

【Neurohypnotics Injection ......】

【Tissue Filler Injection ......】

……

[Confirm the termination of the nerve current.] 】

[Confirm the termination of visceral activities.] 】

[Confirm that dormant body temperature has dropped.] 】

[Confirm that cell activity is terminated.] 】

……

[Entering hibernation is complete.] 】

The hibernation chamber has a metal door up to 40 centimeters thick, separating two different worlds. Bear? Die? Or ...... Life and death?

A strong sense of foreboding inexplicably welled up in my heart, but I didn't know what it was. Without stopping for long, Xinglan turned her head and silently stepped out of the nova, and all the lights on the spaceship went out automatically behind her.

Eventually, with the massive barrier door slamming shut, the ship was enclosed in the most central area of the base.

Xinglan, who had been silent for a long time, raised her head and looked at the unmanned machinery in front of her, which was draining all the air inside...... There is no need to maintain the environment necessary for human survival, and she seems to be talking to herself: "Xiao Cheng, I'm leaving." ”

……

The sea of Lanxing is still surging waves......

The small space shuttle lifts back into the air, spewing flames back into the space orbit on standby.

Xinglan stood on a high cliff and watched the waves crash against the shore below. Perhaps thousands of years later, the edges and corners of the rocks here will be smoothed out by the constant waves, becoming smooth and rounded. Perhaps in a few thousand years, it will become a beautiful golden beach......

The sky, the bright sun, had dimmed and sunken. Brilliant fiery clouds spread out at the end of the sky, reflected above the sea. A silvery-white moon poked its head out on the horizon, it was the Ice Moon, the Frost Shower.

“…… Xiao Cheng, you idiot! Under the starlight, Xinglan stretched out her hand and pressed it lightly on her face, "This robot...... You won't cry......"

"So you want to see me cry or something...... You have to wake up! ”

……

Huh? Is it going to turn into some weird Millennium Watch series?
