It was as if she was in a dream.

A very long dream.

The picture of the dream is not very clear, like an old-fashioned projector with a bad reception, and the flickering images from time to time make her see very clearly.

In the dream, she watched the protagonist grow up like a bystander.

It was a little girl with beautiful blonde hair. She smiled brightly, like the winter sun. There are faint freckles on his face, with innocence and greenness. She remains relatively emotionally calm most of the time, without anger, sadness, joy, etc., like a machine.

Or, in a dream, everyone would be like this. She thought.

But when she looks at the little girl in her dreams, she always smiles knowingly from time to time. She always felt that this little girl had a lot to do with herself. Until one day, a mirror hung in the girl's room. And in the mirror, she finally saw herself.

It was the first time she had seen herself in a dream.

The same brilliant long blond hair, the same faint freckles on her face, the difference is that she sees a little girl when she grows up. So she knew that this little girl was herself, and this dream was a fragment of some of her own memories.

It's just that for some reason, the memory seems a little unfamiliar, and she seems to be looking at another person's life.

The little girl grew up in a base, an underground base where she worked and lived.

Z7 base.

The name popped into her mind. She was sure that this was the code name of the base, where the girl's grandfather was a supervisor. In this base on the edge, Old Jack is the master. Under the protection of her grandfather, the little girl lived much better than other peers. She's smart, beautiful, and like a delicate doll, and the people at the base love her.

In this way, the girl gradually became a young girl.

She grew taller and prettier. What is rare is that she found some medical books in her grandfather's collection of old books and learned some superficial knowledge. So her grandfather handed over the infirmary of the base to her to take care of, and she lived up to her trust and became the youngest and most beautiful doctor in the base.

Originally, she thought that the days would pass like this, and the girl would eventually become a woman, and then marry and have children. But with his arrival, her life has also become upside down. And the memory of her is so clear. The picture is no longer flickering or blurry. It's like a stable player, with extremely high pixels to present a clear picture in front of her eyes.

He had returned from the mine with his grandfather, and it was in the work area that the girl met him for the first time. On this man's face, she saw two different eye colors, one black and one gold.

Zero!

A name naturally floated in her mind, and along with this name came all kinds of inexplicable emotions. She laughed and cried, wanting to touch the man in her dreams, to throw herself into his arms. She knew that only in his arms was the warmest harbor on this shijie.

But she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried, her fingertips were always a little bit worse than the man in her dream. Although it is close at hand, it has become the end of the world.

In the next dream, she began to look at it seriously, and it was no longer as careless as before. Because he would always be there for the girl, he had gone into the depths of her memory. He stayed in the base for two years, and these two years were the happiest period for the girl, because he was there.

But misfortune struck.

A monster breaks into the base and kills many people, including the girl's grandfather. The girl is infected with the monster's blood, and the survivors of the base unanimously ask her to leave. At that moment, she was hesitant and at a loss. Shijie is big, but where is there a place for her to settle down.

At that moment, he grabbed her hand. This catch is forever.

The next memories are wilderness and ruins.

In order to heal the girl who was contaminated by the blood of the devil, he took her on the road alone. They walk through uninhabited wilderness, wandering the ruins of living corpses, while also making some friends. They have helped and have been helped. Although these days are hard, the girl has lived a full life, and gradually walked out of the haze of the base.

It was in a base called Remut that the maiden gave him her body. It was her first time, an unforgettable first time!

The girl became a woman overnight, and she became stronger. Her belief that her man would heal herself may have been unfounded, but believing is believing, and she never doubted that. Even, she fantasized about giving him two children, one for both men and women. The man is like him, handsome and brave. Women are like themselves, beautiful and lively.

But fate is like a prank.

While he was on a mission, she was forcibly taken away by a man named Sauron. She resisted, but how could she be able to defeat those wolf-like soldiers, let alone Sauron, who had third-order fire ability.

She thought she would never see him again, but she didn't expect him to come.

She was happy, but at the same time scared. Happy because of his arrival, he never gave up on himself. Fear, but fear, he was single-handed, and he was no match for Sauron at all. In a night of gunfire and monster roars, she tossed and turned. To her surprise, the proud man named Sauron seemed to have suffered a great loss at his hands, and she was proud of him.

But the next morning, the nightmare happened.

Sauron used her as bait to make him show up. She knew what that meant, he was only one person, and if he showed up, he would make a sieve for the firefighters who were placed around. So she desperately screamed for him to go quickly, she didn't want anything to happen to him, even if she would die!

But he still appeared, and at that moment, happiness and pain came together. She was held to the neck with a knife by a man, and she could only watch with tears in her eyes as he was shot in the body, blood splattering.

She tried to remember that it was her own blood.

At this time, Sauron asked him to join. He actually agreed, and the woman knew that he didn't want to be someone else's lackey, but for her sake, the man chose to grovel.

As Sauron moved the muzzle of her gun to make a second mark on him, she didn't say a word, smearing her neck against the sharp blade.

He could sacrifice so much for her, and she could sacrifice her life for him. Just for his safety, and freedom!

"No!"

His mournful cry rang out over the ruins, like a lone wolf howling in the sky. But she didn't regret it, and at this moment, she completely and absolutely jumped into the abyss of death.

As long as you can live in the sun, that's enough.

"Zero, live!"

With these words, she came back to her senses as a bystander, facing the ground that was constantly approaching. She and the self in the dream finally overlapped at this moment. She experienced the happiness, sadness, and helplessness that filled her chest.

She finally remembered her name.

Leah!

The picture goes dark.

But it didn't take long for two faint lights to shine in the darkness. She tried to see clearly, so she desperately opened her eyelids, which weighed like a thousand pounds. The light is getting stronger and stronger, and Zuihou shines all over Shijie. After a few moments, Leah adjusted to the light, and was greeted by a gray-white ceiling. From time to time on the ceiling, the incandescent lamps resounded with the sound of alternating current, gently echoing in this quiet room, as if it were some leisurely afternoon.

After a few seconds of blank space, her eyes slowly fell to see a man sitting on the edge of her bed, his upper body lying on the bed, his head resting on his arms as if he were asleep. The fine black hair fell quietly in front of his forehead, and the closed eyes, the eyelids twitched from time to time, and he didn't know what kind of dream he was having. The firm bridge of the nose is the pursed lips, and the sharp chin is covered with a little blue stubble, with a hint of haggardness.

Leah's eyes were blurry because of the hot tears pouring out of their sockets.

It's him, it's zero!

How could she have forgotten this face, the figure of fighting for her own blood, still hovering so clearly in her mind. Leah was happy and scared at the same time, happy to be able to see Zero again, indicating that nothing had happened to him. I was afraid, but I was worried that it was just a dream.

So she tried to hold up her body, but her body was like a rusty machine, making her every movement seem so difficult. As if sensing her movements, Zero suddenly opened his eyes, and Leah's figure trying to sit up broke into his eyes.

Without extra words, Zero stood up and squeezed Leah in his arms.

Leah's body stiffened slightly, and then she responded forcefully, while crying and saying, "Tell me, it's not a dream." Zero, is it really you?"

"It's me. Zero's eyes were red, he closed his eyes, kissed Leah's forehead and said, "It's not a dream. Leah, thank goodness, you're finally awake. It's okay, it's all gone. ”

"You said I woke up, I slept for a long time?"

After the initial excitement passed, the two gradually calmed down. Zero is helping Leah out of bed and helping her with a few simple body movements to speed up her blood circulation and allow Leah to recover faster. When Leah asked this, the door opened, and a man walked in and said with a smile, "I slept for a long time, a year and nine months to be exact." ”

"Doctor Victor?" Leah remembered the man, who was the doctor Zero had found for herself. Hearing Victor say this, Leah covered her mouth and said, "I've slept for so long?"

"It's a long sleep, after all, you're badly injured. You're all right, though, aren't you?" said Zero with a smile.

Leah subconsciously touched her neck and said, "I remember"

"Neck hurt, yes. Victor took over and said, "That kind of serious injury, if it were an ordinary person, would have died a long time ago." Zero did a lot to keep you. Anyway, you're fine, and even the virus you've been infected with has been cleared. Congratulations, Leah, you've been given a new lease of life. ”

Leah didn't know that Victor's words were punned, but she heard that Zero had done a lot for herself, although Victor didn't say it. No matter how stupid Koria is, she knows that to save a dying person, she has to pay a lot more. She wanted to cry, but Khalia tried desperately to make herself laugh. She told herself that for Zero, what she would leave him in the future would be her own smile, not crying.

"I know you have a lot more to say, but excuse me. Now that Leah is awake, let me give her a routine check-up first. ”

The doctor's request, the two naturally did not refuse. The routine check-up is also very simple and fast, mainly because Victor records various basic data of Leah to confirm that she will not have genetic defects after being reborn.

After the examination, Leah had to stay for another two days so that Victor could observe whether her vital signs were stable. So Zero stayed, and for two days, Zero told her about what had happened in the past two years. So Leah knew that she was now in a wonderful city called Asgard, and she also knew that Zero already had a certain position in the city, and even had her own company and base.

A lot of the time, Leah just listened quietly. She had to write it all down so she could make up for the past two years. At the same time, I also know how hard it has been in the past two years to have these achievements in front of us.

And in this, of course, Zero hides some truths. For example, the real Leah died in the ruins, and now she is reborn by using the new era gene jishu. In the process of narrating, Zero observes Leah and realizes that the memories that Victor has implanted in her mind have completely become a part of her life, and she is truly relieved.

Memory implantation is the most critical part of the whole rebirth jihua, after all, if you can't have the memories that belong to Leah, then even if she looks exactly like Leah, she will always be a different person. When the memory was implanted, Victor was worried that he would be repulsed by Leah's own will, which would lead to nervous system disorders and even collapse. So he insisted on slowing down the entire memory transplant so that Leah could accept the memory.

It turns out that Victor is right, and even Zero can't tell how this Leah in front of her is different from her before. Through the inheritance of memories, the dead Leah is reborn in a new shell!

Two days passed quickly, and Leah was finally "discharged". As Zero leads her out of the lab on the outskirts of Asgard, Leah is amazed to spot the blue sky above the city. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Zero with an excited look in her eyes. Although Zero had already told her that the sky above Asgard was covered with countless holographic projection panels, the central computer would automatically evolve various natural weather.

It was the first time that Kolia had seen it with her own eyes, and she was deeply shocked to see the sky that had only been mentioned in books, a landscape that had only existed in the old days.

Zero didn't say anything, and let Leah just stand like that. He believed that everyone who grew up in the wilderness would be like Leah when they first entered Asgard. Speaking of which, he would not have been the same when Valkyrie had extradited him to this majestic city.

After the shock passed, Leah sat in the dirt bike. Zero drove onto the road in Asgard, and Leah sat in the car, looking around curiously, and let out an exclamation of surprise. Zero listens in his ears and smiles knowingly.

He is very happy that the chain of fate that has been broken for two years is finally renewed today!
