003. Omen

Zhao Yu got into the cockpit and turned around to close the hatch so that no light could let out.

Borg turned his head to look at him: "The remembrance is over?" It's a little earlier than usual. ”

"I just have a bad premonition." Seeing that the faces of the two teammates changed together, Zhao Yu hurriedly added: "Slight - as long as I come back, it's fine." ”

Borg let out a long breath and slid under the seat: "Honey, please finish it all at once in the future." ”

The driver, Hunter, was still not at ease, and stared at Zhao Yu nervously: "Old man, are you sure?" Just slightly? ”

"Please stop calling me by that nickname."

"Well, your name is...... Uh, tide? …… Look at? …… Beg? Hunter read the name card on Zhao Yu's chest with great difficulty, "Oh shit, how do you read it?" Why is your last name pronounced so weirdly! Why can't I be as amiable as my 'Malik'? ”

"Okay, I'll give up, you still call me old man, if you continue to read it, I won't know what my surname should be." Zhao Yu said angrily, "What a weirdness, Zhao Qiansun Li, I am the number one surname in China!" ”

"Okay, let's not dwell on secondary issues!" Hunter raised his hand, "What the hell did you feel about it?" ”

"Nothing, keep it as is, we're safe tonight." Zhao Yu took off his uniform, climbed to the empty space behind the cockpit and lay down, "But...... If we're still here tomorrow at noon, we'll be in big trouble. ”

Borg wrote down what Zhao Yu had just said on the e-memo with a serious face.

At this moment, the face of the sergeant just now jumped out on the communication screen: "Borg, our photonic radar has a response!" The unmanned fighters of the alliance are approaching! ”

"Leave it alone!" Borg snapped, "Turn off all interfering devices and heat sources!" Don't probe! Believe me! ”

The sergeant gritted his teeth and glared at Borg for two seconds, then said viciously, "If we go to hell tonight, I'll kick you to the next level!" ”

All the lights in the cockpit went out, and only a light green screen was still glowing, with a small dot of light moving towards the center of the screen.

"KF4 unmanned fighter." Hunter looked at the point of light and muttered, "It can carry four cluster bombs, and it can kill everyone here twice." ”

Borg looked at Zhao Yu, who was already lying flat on the narrow bed behind him: "Old man, do you want to have another premonition?" ”

Zhao Yu just waved his hand: "Just don't die." ”

Borg, though calm, dragged his way through a lookout and looked out in the most primitive periscope form.

There was a faint pillar of light in the dark sky, and it didn't stop in the area.

"KF4 has passed." Hunter gasped.

Borg laughed dryly, grabbed the bottle next to him and poured two sips of water.

"Damn it, it's amazing!" The sergeant shouted excitedly on the other end of the screen, "For the first time, I saw a KF4 unmanned fighter flying over like a blind man!" Borg, your old man is a messenger from God! I'm going to introduce my sister to him! ”

"Didn't your sister get married three times?" Borg said disdainfully, "The old man is still a virgin, and when the war is over, I will mobilize all my friends to introduce him to women!" …… Right, old man? ”

"Your whole family is a virgin, Captain." Zhao Yu looked up at the top of the cockpit and closed his eyes, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'm going to be quiet for a while, maybe I can see something else." ”

Borg immediately put his index finger to his lips, made a silent gesture, and turned off the communication.

There was a sudden silence in the cockpit, and Zhao Yu was immersed in his own world.

"Premonition" - this is the gift that Zhao Yu received after waking up.

As depicted in clichΓ© movies or novels, when something particularly bad happens, Zhao Yu can feel the so-called "ominous premonition" hours or even days in advance, so that he can successfully avoid the risk. This ability is simply a lifesaver on the battlefield full of dangers, after confirming that Zhao Yu's hunch is never wrong, Sergeant Borg almost dragged him from the infantry to the "Death Messenger" as a co-pilot, even if Zhao Yu's driving skills are amazingly bad, it doesn't matter: "Anyway, your main task is not driving!" ”

However, why he had this ability after recovering from cryonics, Zhao Yu didn't know. He once secretly checked the information and found that he was not the only one who obtained strange abilities after freezing, and the "premonition" actually accounted for most of them, which Earth technology could not explain, because it was the aliens who really revived them, which was part of the original "science and technology exchange plan".

It is a pity that the science and technology of the Buttermins civilization is equivalent to letting the first grade of primary school go to college high math textbooks for the earthlings, and they have not learned much after so many years, and in the end, they have to let the Buttermins people personally take action to solve various incurable diseases for the earth, and Zhao Yu's illness is one of them.

In fact, the freezing technology used by Zhao Yu and them back then was extremely bad, after decades of freezing, most of the body's functions have been lost, and there is no possibility of resurrection with earth technology, if there is no alien arrival, Zhao Yu's final fate is likely to be "declared a failure of the experiment" and then reduced to a human specimen.

However, the Buttermins changed all that. They used technology that the earthlings didn't understand to rebuild Zhao Yu's body, and eliminated the genes that caused Zhao Yu's disease, so that he could return to the level of a normal person, and in this reconstruction process, a part of Zhao Yu's brain was developed - the above is speculation from the Buttermins people, who insisted that they were not familiar with the structure of the earth's creatures, so it could only be speculation.

"This is probably one of the instincts of the animals of the earth. Some of the earth's animals have their own instincts to be sensitive to natural disasters, and they will be aware of earthquakes, volcanoes, and other events before they erupt, and humans as animals may have inherited this ability, but they are covered by a strong sense of self in daily life, and they cannot reflect the effect of 'instinct', and in the process of physical reconstruction, this part of the instinct may be stimulated and amplified, resulting in the current situation. "Don't worry, if you don't trigger it too often, after a while this ability will be covered by your self-consciousness again, and you will be completely normal again." ”

"Infrequent trigger ......" Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, "If I had been a normal person from the beginning, I would have died dozens of times, right?" ”

What the Buttermins can do is to let Zhao Yu regain his original healthy body, but this body belongs to the end of the twentieth century, the beginning of the twenty-first century, not the middle of the twenty-second century.

The people of the middle of the 22nd century are human beings who have been infiltrated by extraterrestrial technology for nearly 100 years. Almost every baby is genetically modified at birth, and most have a few auxiliary chips on their bodies to make them more adaptable to an environment full of alien technology. They are healthier, stronger, and more agile than the people of Zhao Yu's time, and people like Zhao Yu from the "old century" have no advantage in front of the juniors, not to mention that the battlefield is full of alien black technology that they have not heard of more than a hundred years ago, Zhao Yu is very sure that if the United States at the beginning of the 21st century is put into the present and pinch a medium-sized country, even if a nuclear bomb is used, it will not last for three months.

For an "old antique" like him, only this kind of stimulated instinct (God knows if it's or not) is a treasure that new humans can't get anyway, and it is also the biggest guarantee for Zhao Yu's smooth survival in this world so far. From this point of view, no matter how unhappy people are now, at least Zhao Yu should be grateful to the aliens.

But in the nearly a year since he woke up, Zhao Yu has been deeply aware that hating Bartmins is the mainstream of modern earth society. In most people's minds, the fact that the Earth has become what it is all the fault of the aliens who still don't know what it looks like! Saying that "in front of civilizations that have not joined the Commonwealth, they generally do not show their true appearances, so as not to cause estrangement to civilizational exchanges", it must be that these guys are extremely obscene, "I can't look like some livestock on the earth that are slaughtered every day!" ”

Zhao Yu doesn't have an intuitive understanding of these things, and some people mention that he can also confidently use "I can't figure out the situation yet" to mess around, but what the earthlings have become of their planet now, he has a deep understanding in the past few months.

It was flashes of light, explosions, blood, screams that seemed to have no end in sight, and barren fields and lead-gray clouds that never seemed to disperse.

It's like going through World War III...... No, it's ridiculous that the Third World War has already broken out. What's even more ridiculous is that the desolate scenery you see now has nothing to do with World War III.

Zhao Yu showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and he was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, a shattered scene suddenly appeared in his mind!

The sight was so impactful that he jumped to his feet, and slammed into the cockpit canopy, screaming so hard that he was left to kick his legs in place - this was the cockpit of a combat weapon, after all, and there was not much room for him to roll.

Borg and Hunter in the front driver's seat were shocked: "It's okay, did you see something terrible?!" ”

"No, it's okay, it's just a headbutt......" Zhao Yu rubbed his head and smiled bitterly, but the scene just now appeared again, making him hesitate again.

That was the first time that a premonition appeared in my mind in the form of an image.

"What's the matter, because of frequent use, the result has been upgraded to a version with a picture?" Zhao Yu recalled that picture, to be precise, it was an event, it was a mechanical giant tower suspended in the sky, from the outside, it was by no means the style of the earthlings, but it was not the style of the Bartmins, and on the ground below the giant tower, the layers were full of mechanical wreckage and corpses, extending to the end of the horizon invisible to the naked eye!

Even after months on the battlefield, witnessing all kinds of destroyed war machines and all kinds of dead corpses, Zhao Yu couldn't imagine how many people had to die to be able to afford such a tragic scene!

What really frightened Zhao Yu was that among these corpses and wreckage, he clearly saw a mechanical spider that was only half left, motionless with black smoke, and the familiar skull and the ugly word "daeth" were painted on the shell!

Is this the future? What's going on? When and where did it happen? Is it possible to avoid it?

Zhao Yu thought about it and decided not to tell Borg about this terrifying scene, otherwise with the character of the commander, he would directly drop the mechanical spider and choose to walk, "do everything possible to avoid unlucky things" has always been Sergeant Borg's principle, the problem is that in terms of the current situation, a few mecha pilots can only die earlier if they go to the fifth war zone on foot.

He took a deep breath and tried to re-enter meditation against the headache that had not yet subsided, to see if he could comfort the commander, but this time only a moment later, he opened his eyes with a wry smile.

"Commander."

Borg turned his head: "Huh? ”

"Things are subject to change, and I suggest we leave before dawn."

Borg was stunned for a moment: "Has it changed?" In which direction? ”

"The bad side." Zhao Yu replied, "My feelings tell me that the farther away from here before dawn, the better." ”

"Oh shit, I was going to get some sleep, I'm going to stay up late again." Borg lamented, but Hunter next to him debunked him: "Sir, the driver is me." ”

"Shut up, you're obviously driving autopilot!" Borg turned around and turned on the communication channel, "Attention units, attention units, the situation has changed, we are going to leave before dawn." ”

There was a lot of complaints and shouts in the communication channel, but no one raised an objection, because in this lonely army completely cut off from the outside world, it was believed that Zhao Yu was the only way out.

In the dark wilderness, the sound of machinery starting, a few flashes of light, it was the sleepy-eyed mecha infantry debugging equipment, and then all units switched to infrared night vision mode, only a few tiny red dots can be seen shaking at a very close distance, other than that, with the naked eye, you can only see a pitch black, just like just now.

Zhao Yu looked at the combat map on the bridge, and a bunch of green light spots marked as teammates were moving, indicating that in the deep darkness, the more than 100 people of the "Mixed Task Force Sixth Squad" still maintained a normal formation. However, in the order list of the 7th War Zone, they have been classified as enemy forces.

Around the green dot of light is a red warning sign that stretches as far as the eye can see.

They were in the middle of the enemy theater of operations.

"How do you feel?" Borg asked.

Zhao Yu rubbed his forehead: "It's not enough to have a hunch, we still need a lot of luck." ”
