Chapter 269: Dreams and Reality
We haven't seen the old patriarch since, and it's always the girl with a frosty face who stays with us.
A few more weeks passed, and the four of us were finally allowed to visit any part of the base, and I was lying in bed fussing about it, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the whole child.
It took us a whole week to figure out the structure of the entire base: the island had been hollowed out for the most part! From the two floors above ground, there are eight floors of the building! At the bottom of the floor is a huge desalination system and sewage system. The penultimate layer is full of dense machines, and the huge amount of heat generated can only be cooled by the continuous circulation of seawater.
It's not so much a data storage center as a command center. It carries the real-time data of all the world's space signal receivers and 100% of the space-probing satellites in space, monitoring any wind and grass within a few hundred million light-years of space.
If we hadn't been here to watch, we would never have known that we had already stationed a force in space, and that it was not only satellites but also several space ships floating above us. And all the lunar exploration projects and Mars strategies and space programs are really just looking for a suitable place to be stationed and resupply.
"I can't think of it, I can't think of it!" Jeonko sighed deeply at this moment. "It turns out that some of the stories we heard when we were children turned out to be true!"
The more we knew, the more shocked we became, looking at the defensive and offensive weapons on display here, if it weren't for their power and lethality written on the side, we would have thought that these were just science fiction models placed here.
It was also at this moment that we found out that the four of us were just a few small fish and shrimp on a small branch line on this front, and we were doing some peripheral things. In this organization, the huge four major families in the mainland are not worth mentioning at all. If it hadn't been for me and Quanzi blowing up that spaceship, maybe we wouldn't have been here until we died.
"In other words, apart from controlling the dragon vulture, the four of us don't really have any other value!" Ah Fang couldn't help but look very lost.
"I can't say that, I think anyone here has had a similar experience to us before growing up, and no one is born here!" Aichen guessed.
"Yes, Aichen is right! We went from being kept in the dark and ignorant at the beginning to knowing everything about the Wansheng Stone, and if it weren't for these experiences, we wouldn't have been able to grow and be as calm and strong as we are now! I said.
"Well, Tokuko is right. It's just that every process we go through is a little too hard for us, alas... We're losing people around us all the way! Quanzi said, "I actually still have a knot in my heart, which is about the death of the fifth child!" ”
"Dying in the spaceship is the best destination for the fifth child!" "I'm sure he was clear about it before he set foot on this path. ”
"I'm just thinking, sometimes we mistakenly think that we will eventually die with the Ten Thousand Life Stone in this life, but what I didn't expect is that there are many people in the world who are silently carrying this mission like us!" "Now it seems that everything we have experienced is not worth mentioning in the face of life and death for all mankind. ”
I answered, "Maybe Wansheng Shiben is not guilty!" What is guilty is actually the greed of human beings all along. If you think about it, this is a huge non-governmental organization independent of any political system in the world, and they have basically covered all corners of the earth from space to the earth, with the most powerful fighters and the most sophisticated weapons, and even space warships...... I finally understood how huge Chen Shaokun's ultimate goal is, he really wants to control the whole world. ”
"If he controls this force, it will basically mark the imminent end of humanity!" Quanzi joked.
"So in the end, isn't it our own war for humanity?" Aichen said.
"We can destroy alien warships, but we can't destroy the desires that come with human rights, reputation, and so on! So we can't change anything by staying! I said.
We eventually decided to leave this place of right and wrong, and when we made this request, no one answered us.
It wasn't until a month later that the Frost Girl brought us a pass and a new ID.
Chen Qimei went to the pier to see us off, and she and we gently hugged and said goodbye one by one. Finally she hugged me, and she whispered in my ear, "Maybe this goodbye will be the last of our lives!" ”
"Sister-in-law, you have to take care!" I spoke with difficulty, which meant that I officially recognized the identity of the Chen family.
"Good! Good boy! Chen Qimei said.
"The fifth child has been to you for so many years..."
"I know!" Chen Qimei said, "I know, he always guards me!" It's me who is sorry for him! ”
At this moment, the knot in my heart about the fifth child who did not let go until death suddenly untied, and everything became easier.
"We're leaving!" I whispered goodbye.
"When you have time, remember to go back and see your grandfather for me, you are the person he always cares about the most!" Chen Qimei said.
I stood on the deck and shouted at her, "Where is he buried?" ”
"Where he was born!" Chen Qimei shouted.
The supply ship would have to sail for three days to reach the mainland, and we looked at the brand-new documents in our hands, and we didn't dare to make any reveries about the future, because our previous embarrassing escape journey was still a knot in our hearts that we could never untie.
"This time you really thought about it, there are satellites in the sky and spies on the ground, and now we are still sitting on someone else's supply ship, holding someone else's made documents, are you sure we can go away?" Junko and I sat on the deck and fished.
"Our role has been lost, and no one will pay attention to us anymore! The value and meaning of our existence may be to use the dragon vulture to destroy the spaceship! I said.
"And that's the end of it?"
"What do you think?" I asked rhetorically.
"I didn't expect it to end like this!" Quanzi lit the cigarette in his hand, hung up the bait, threw the line out, and muttered to himself.
"Wouldn't it be nice to end up like this! Maybe the day when the Wansheng Stone will never end, and for us, being able to get out of the whole body is a good result that everyone is happy! I said.
"Wansheng Stone has been on the earth for 300 million years, and it has affected not only human beings, but thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of grasses and thousands of trees! Chen Shaokun is right, it will be like a terrible curse for us for a lifetime after all! Quanzi said.
"You talk so much, we won't be able to catch a fish today!" I kind of reject the phrase "Quanzi".
"The whole child fishes, and the one who wishes to take the bait!" Jeonko said.
"What about the curse, we all retreated, could it be that the little alien monster still wants to find the door, do you have to make you die?" I continued.
"I'm not afraid of Wanshengshi, it's just that Chen Shaokun's stinky boy we have to be on guard at all times, who knows if this kid will think about killing him one day, after all, you are the successor designated by the old patriarch." Jeonko said. "We all know that the most difficult thing in the world to prevent is the human heart after all!"
"Chen Shaokun's purpose has been achieved, and we are useless to him!" I said.
At this time, Ah Fang and Ai Qin called us from the deck on the second floor, and Ai Qin said with some excitement, "Don't toss around, you two, we have cooked a seafood feast, and the captain has contributed the good wine he has treasured for many years." ”
I looked at each other and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
I said to Quanzi, "Even if Chen Shaokun wanted to kill us, he would never have thought that we would hide under his nose!" ”
"Do you want to go back there?"
"Isn't that a good place, with plenty of weapons, plenty of seafood, and a few monkeys to keep you company!" I said.
Quanzi replied, "I think you are a thief and immortal, and you always want to go back and be the successor of the old patriarch!" ”
"Whew! Leave it to someone else to save the planet..."
Beautiful scenery, cool sea breeze, delicious wine and food, accompanied by beautiful women! This moment is really intoxicating! We drank, sang, and reminisced about embarrassing memories, and the night was short and frustrating. Separated from each other, I took Aichen in my arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"Dezi, we've been waiting too long for this moment!" Ai Qin looked at me tenderly and said.
"It is this moment that is so hard-won that makes us cherish it even more!" I answered.
……
I opened my eyes and saw the familiar yellow fir bed boards! The newly posted recruit management regulations, the neatly stacked training clothes on the cabinet on the side, where is this not the training camp camp dormitory?
On the bed next to him was a training camp comrade who was sleeping, and our squad leader Hao Erzhu was staring at me, only to see his pupils shrink and smile at me, "Hehe, Dezi!" What kind of dreams do you have, your mouth is crooked? ”
I looked at him with a look of horror and asked, "Class, squad leader?" ”
"What's the matter, are you sleeping in a circle, am I not your squad leader?"
"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.
Hao Erzhu pointed to the clock on the wall and said with a smile, "It didn't take long, the training was finished at twelve o'clock, and now it's half past three in the morning!" The squad leader couldn't sleep, so he got up to look for a post. You kids are the hardest soldiers I've ever led, and you're holding back your farts all day..."
"Where's the whole child?"
"All the sons? Li Hongquan! You're asleep on the bunk, and you're snoring louder than the sow in the cooking class! ”
"Ai Qin, Ah Fang," I muttered to myself.
"What kind of piano, Fang, I tell you not to run towards the female soldier squad all day long!" Hao Erzhu said.
I shook my head and saw that I was indeed lying in the dormitory of the recruit class, and the clock on the wall said February 28, 2017. I can't tell which side is the dream and which is the reality.
Am I in a dream again at this moment, or is everything about the Wansheng Stone just a dream?
I struggled to clear my thoughts, and I continued, "Squad leader, why can't you sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
"Alas! I don't know what's going on lately, but I've been having the same dream, and in my dream there was a stone that had become a fine stone, and he said to me, 'Go see Dezi, he's about to wake up!' Hao Erzhu continued. I... I'm not spreading any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods to you, I'm a complete materialist. But to tell you the truth, I was really scared awake tonight, so I came over to see you, hey, you scared me to death when you opened your eyes! ”
"What does it look like when it becomes a fine stone?" I asked, puzzled.
"What a look, oops! Anyway, it's weird, it's huge, it's glowing white, it's seven or eight arms, ouch, it's terrible to show your teeth and claws... Oh, I remembered, well, it asked me to give you a message in my dream! ”
"Words? What words? I asked.
"It says, 'The signal has been received, the ship has set sail, and the path to eternal life has been opened for you!' ”
End of book!
