Chapter 55: Warmth
Concentrate, raise your sword, swing and slash. A metal arc slash only the width of the palm of the hand quickly collided with the speeding bullet, and it didn't break directly, but the side of the slash grazed the warhead and changed its direction.
At this point, I don't know how many times I've swung and slashed, but I can only feel that my arm has been overloaded for a long time, and my spirit is exhausted from the long repetition of tension. In the beginning, I was still striving for "perfect confrontation" in an attempt to destroy incoming bullets with every shot, but after about a thousand times, I didn't hesitate to abandon this ridiculous practice, but even so, I had fully understood by this time how difficult a mental power call every two seconds was.
My vision was a little blurry, and I couldn't even think anymore, because my whole body was full of viruses that had invaded from the wounds, and the intense sadness impacted my thinking and my mental power, and in just over an hour, I was so exhausted that even the recovery stopped.
"Didi." The prompt sound before the launch was not a kind reminder, but more like a mockery, satirizing my incompetence. I couldn't make any indications, my left hand took the sword diagonally, and my mental power was shocked, and a metal cone appeared at the blade of the sword, and I only heard a "ding" sound, and a huge force came from my hand to push my whole person to the lower right, and a deep scratch had appeared on the cone.
This is already the limit of what I can do, my consciousness is on the verge of collapse, and it is difficult to draw too much mental power to support the slash. Retracting the spiritual power, the cone surface shattered, I don't know when this place has become a weightless space, and there are many fragments scattered around, which is also my negligence, in this vast universe, I actually forgot that weightlessness is normal.
Just when I hit a wall and was about to use my strength to get back to the center—
"Didi!" One second four eight, this is definitely intentional! A strong sense of crisis came from my front, and it was too late to swing my sword at this moment, so I pulled myself together, and while summoning a large amount of metal in front of my chest to form a thick metal bevel, I extracted the scattered fragments of this space, and built a "rope" between the wall behind me and my back, and pulled back as hard as I could. Even so, its powerful penetration and speed allowed it to break through the metal and pierce into the lungs with a slight deviation.
"Shhh
"Congratulations, your first day of training is over." By the time the sound came from the speakers, my mind had relaxed, gravity had returned to the room, and predictably, I had fallen defenselessly from the air, but what it was like, to be honest, was unclear.
The firing holes in all six walls have been retracted, and the whole room is no longer the honeycomb that has just seeped into people. I stared blankly at the rooftop and felt as if my body had been soaked in some kind of liquid, and then a substance similar to a virus had invaded my body.
"This is a therapeutic virus, there is no disease and cure in the Esther civilization, only viruses and assemblies, I should have mentioned a little to you before, in the eyes of regular Esther citizens, except for the brain, any other part is almost no different from everyday objects, because of the addition of artificial life, we think that we are no different from artificial life, so after checking between the two sides, the meaning of some concepts has changed, some concepts have been deleted, and some concepts have been added, However, tracing back to the origins of artificial life, after all, it was once from the hands of our lives, so the changes have not changed much. East has enemies at the macro and micro levels, and the attack and defense at the micro level basically belong to the fight against the virus. ”
――
When I came out of the training pod, all the injuries on my body were healed, and even the previous virus had been cleared.
But even so, the exhaustion of consciousness has not been eliminated, not without a method, but deliberately retained by Borat, I slowly walked to my room with this heavy sense of exhaustion, when the door to the room closed automatically, the exhaustion hit like a tide, the whole person could not move an inch, and fell straight to the ground......
When I became aware again, the first thing I felt was the faint fragrance and comforting softness that surrounded my nose, the breeze blowing, and a few strands of hair that didn't belong to me crossed my cheeks to bring a different kind of touch.
When I opened my eyes, the blue sky and white clouds above, the green mountains and green waters in the distance, I was lying on the grass, with the woman's legs on one side, she leaned against the stone wall next to her, closed her eyes, with a smile on her face, like an angel in the sun. She's my nemesis, something I had when I first met - pure light is fatal to someone struggling in darkness, so I deliberately kept my distance when I saw her the second time. I just didn't expect that this third meeting would be like this.
I just lay down and didn't leave or make any other moves, "Gust, why am I here?" ”
"I'm going to teach you something, and it's not the same to lie outside and lie here anyway, so I'll pull you in early."
"I'm going to listen to the main reasons." Nonsense!
"Uh, okay, okay, in fact, I think Sirina is really pitiful here, you also know, although this space can be changed according to our wishes, but after all, it is a dead thing, and you avoid it like a snake and scorpion, it is rare to have such an opportunity, you are each other's natal pets, and you can use this time to enhance your relationship."
"......" natal war pet - the only closest partner in life, a comrade-in-arms worthy of life, the two of us have decided on a relationship so vaguely, it's ridiculous!
"Hmm~" At this time, she had already woken up after taking a nap, snorted lightly, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes and saw that I was staring at her, her face suddenly showed a flustered expression, "Ah, that...... That one...... I'm sorry! She was about to get up, but she didn't know what to do when she saw me still on her lap.
It was only then that I really looked at her closely, and there was a blush on her fair cheeks that I didn't know whether it was panic or shyness, and her hair, which looked a little messy because she had not been paid attention to for a long time, looked lovely against her eyes that flowed from side to side.
"Am I that scary?"
"No...... No, you said it, I'm annoying. As she said this, she lowered her eyes and looked downcast.
She's my nemesis! Seeing her sad appearance, a deep sense of guilt couldn't stop spreading. I gently held one of her jade hands and leaned on my face, feeling a different kind of warmth, "I'm sorry, we'll lean on each other like this in the future, okay?" ”
She gave me a look of disbelief, then hugged me in surprise, "Okay. ”
I looked at the sky in distraction, and a feeling of exhaustion from another part of my heart urged me to close my eyes again—tired......
