imperfections

It is estimated that there is still half an hour before the high-energy particle stream arrives at the base.

After the ups and downs of excitement, many people were quite exhausted. Lu Bixing taught on the spot in the air, and taught them how to set up the automatic navigation and automatic positioning of the mecha in a relatively stable environment.The teaching scene is basically the opening of another circus, but fortunately, there is no danger, and it is not as scary as the process of going to heaven.

Afterwards, everyone had a brief discussion, leaving the young and strong to stay awake in shifts and guard the protective shields, and let the old, weak, sick and disabled go to rest, and the chattering mental network suddenly became much quieter.

Lu Bixing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his watch, and secretly connected to the base's mecha communication station with remote authority.

Before they came, the network in the base where the power was cut off at this time was very unstable, and it could only cover the distance of two sailing days.As a nerd, Lu Bixing, while repairing movie screens for old ladies, of course, did not forget about the network problem.

After his repairs, the internal network signal of the base is now much more stable, and the coverage area is wider. The mechs registered at the contact station can receive vague signals at a distance of six sailing days, four to five The intranet signal is very stable within the distance of sailing days.

When Lin replied "received", he should have returned to the area covered by the internal network. At this time, a day has passed. Even if he let the mecha move at a constant speed, he should have entered the positioning range.

can locate...

Lu Bixing stared helplessly as his paw touched the positioning system, uncontrollably, he thought to himself: "What's the point of this?"

Not at all, because the locator covers five sailing days, with a palm-sized screen, no matter how great the mecha is, or how great people are sitting in the mecha, it looks like a small black dot on the map.

If the mech is driving normally on the channel, and the driver does not perform very energy-consuming operations such as sudden acceleration or jumping, the small black dot will not move for a long time.

Even if he is very poor and bored at this time, he can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of the thousands of lights in the base. Why should he stare at a small black spot that does not move for a long time?

Lu Bixing didn't quite understand his own logic, but what was strange was that he still did it.

"Hey," just as he was doing this boring thing like a stalker, someone called on his personal terminal, and Lu Bixing picked it up, and the projection on Saturday floated in his hand, and asked him on Saturday, "Lu Teacher, Mint is an orphan, right?"

It's not hard to guess, a girl with parents wouldn't be called "Mint" with a name that doesn't have a beginning or a signature.

Lu Bixing stared at the positioning screen without giving him a look: "It doesn't matter to you whether you are an orphan or not."

"Look at your face." Saturday raised his feet on the table, "exactly like your father."

"According to the Union Minor Protection Law, for minors under the age of [-], if the legal guardian cannot be contacted, the school teacher and community administrator can act as a temporary guardian—I am her temporary guardian now, I mean what I say. As for Lao Lu," Lu Bixing waved his hand, "I'm just giving him face."

Saturday: "...Brother Lu, in ancient times, a 17-year-old could already be a mother to a child!"

Lu Bixing replied with a smile: "Indeed, but do you know why? Because in those days, 36 years old was already able to die."

Saturday:"……"

"Human beings are too greedy for the feeling of being young and vigorous. The genetic revolution of the old ephemeris has extended the youth to 200 years. Relatively speaking, 20 years of childhood is like a moment. Compared with a lifetime, it is just a blink of an eye." Lu Bixing said, "It's so precious, like a flower with a flowering period of only 5 minutes, like a handful of sand that leaks out casually, a second of regret is a lifetime of regret, of course it is worth protecting, you, wait for another three years."

Looking back on Saturday, people who have just learned how to operate a mecha are always very cautious in the mecha. It is often the first time when they control the second mecha through the spirit net that they can find the feeling.At this time, Saturday, who thought he had found his feeling, began to recover his rogue appearance in the sky.

The positioning screen searched for Mecha Beijing in the vast universe. Neither of them said anything, and they were relatively silent for a while.

Suddenly said on Saturday: "My ex-girlfriend is six years old."

Lu Bixing almost choked on his saliva: "...should you see a doctor?"

"Tsk, what are you thinking? I was only eight years old when I was with her," Saturday rolled his eyes, "Her father and my father were in business together, and we always played together. Helping the children grow up together, all the boys like her, and there are a few dead girls who also add to the chaos, and get into a ball every day because of who will be her husband. She secretly told me that she actually likes me the most, but she doesn’t treat others well. It’s easy to explain, in order to have an explanation, I have to convince everyone.”

If you don't accept it, you will fight. There is a reason for this style of dealing with things for a long time.

Lu Bixing shook his head first, and then he remembered something: "Wait, didn't you say that you were picked up and raised by someone? How come there is a big family?"

"Yeah," Saturday looked up at the starry sky, "how about my ex-girlfriend was six years old—she lived to be six years old."

Lu Bixing was taken aback.

"During that time, my dad and the others were mysterious, and it was said that they had made a big deal...I was too young to know what kind of big deal it was, but I just remembered that they made a lot of money that year, and everyone was very happy. During the New Year, my dad drank too much at night, and I heard him say to another uncle, 'When you have money, don't do this business of cutting off children and grandchildren'." Saturday's voice lowered, "And that night , a group of people broke into my house and killed everyone. My mother stuffed me and her into two eco-pods connected together, recorded the sound, set the path, threw it outside the atmosphere, and entrusted it to Sister Smelly On the way, the two of us were anxious, like two worms in a drifting bottle, and then those people's missiles brushed away from us, and her eco-cabin was smashed in half."

Lu Bixing was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Saturday.

Saturday's doll's face had a rare gloomy and cold face, as if there was no sunlight outside the atmosphere, which made him show his original shape.

"You know, Mr. Lu," said Saturday, "if it was simply blown to pieces, that's fine, it's just a blink of an eye, but it happened to be half smashed, I haven't entered sleep yet, through the small window , I saw her cry and struggle in fright, the nutrient solution was lost little by little, the air pressure changed little by little, and the half-shattered ecological cabin was like a female animal whose stomach had been cut open alive, watching helplessly. The cubs flowed out slowly, slowly suffocated, there was nothing to do..."

"Do you know what I regret the most? What I regret the most is that she asked me to fight with other children for her. I dare not, because I grew up slower than others, and they were taller and stronger than me. , so I told her, let her wait a few years until I grow up a bit..."

"This is the first truth I have learned in my life, Mr. Lu, some things cannot wait."

His words summed up the ominous past, and seemed to be an ominous prophecy. As soon as he finished speaking, a dialog box jumped out of the locator in Lu Bixing's hand.

Invalid search.

Before Lu Bixing recovered from what he said on Saturday, his heart seemed to be tightened by a hand.

Searching again is still an invalid search.

This means... Either Mecha Beijing's communication equipment was damaged, or it somehow changed its route and left the coverage area of ​​the intranet!

At this time, the earliest wave of charged particles had already arrived, and hit the protective cover assembled by three hundred mechs head-on. The high-energy charged particles collided with the protective cover, attenuated, and a small amount penetrated through, causing a slight disturbance of the base's magnetic field. , and then a band of light similar to the aurora appeared above the atmosphere, stretching to the horizon like a fairy robe sleeve, as magnificent as the special effects scene of a fantasy movie.

Everyone woke up, and then, more and more dense streams of high-energy particles poured down like a tide, and overturned on the protective cover of the mecha. The mech pilots outside the atmosphere have the same sense of honor in their hearts - I am protecting the base, and I am protecting my home.

I don't know who started to sing an ancient wandering song in the spirit network. It is very old, as if everyone has heard it. Gradually, their voices joined in, rumbling, diluting the lyrics and tune, as if An oath that was never thought of, spontaneously formed.

But Lu Bixing's hand that made it all happen was trembling slightly.

He tried to locate Jijia Beijing three times, all of which showed invalid searches, and couldn't bear to contact Lin's personal terminal—but the intranet just told him, "There is no such person."

Lin Jingheng closed his eyes for a moment in his temporary guest room.

A minor accident happened. He thought he would encounter it when he was tortured to extract a confession. Unexpectedly, this group of interstellar pirates was even crazier than he expected-they actually used the rainbow virus as a wake-up needle.

The normal rainbow virus will first lie dormant for 24 hours and then attack, but he has been injected with blocking antibodies in advance, and the rainbow virus will meet the blocking antibodies in advance. Due to the particularity of this virus, he will start to have a high fever after three hours at most , until the virus is wiped out by antibodies.

Not to mention it's easy to cheat, the key is that they don't torture them to extract confessions, how can he reasonably leak the fabricated "underground waterway" and lure them away?

Just then, someone knocked lightly on his door.

As soon as Lin Jingheng opened his eyes, a young man came in through the door. The young man looked handsome, but for some reason, his walking posture was a bit strange. He hugged a clean bedding, and then put a box of small medicine bottles in front of him, and treated him cautiously. smile.

From the corner of her eye, Lin Jingheng saw that it was a box of painkillers.

The young man may be a mute, not speaking, pointing to his temple, then pointing to the painkiller, gesticulating to him with difficulty to express—mental overload will cause headaches, let him make do with this thing first.

Lin Jingheng thanked him with a body language that fit her current status.

The young man looked at him, the things were delivered but did not leave, his round eyes like almonds were filled with fear, Lin Jingheng had no choice but to stare at him, for a moment, the young man mouthed to him: "Run. "

Lin Jingheng: "..."

The boy took a meaningful look at the medicine bottle, then turned and left.

Lin Jingheng took the medicine bottle and observed it under the light for a while, unscrewed it, and found a miniature screen at the bottom of the bottle, only the size of a button.

Lin Jingheng hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the instructions for the painkillers, and under the cover of reading the instructions, he flicked on the small screen.

The picture is extremely small, as small as peeping through a hole in the wall - I saw a long and dark corridor first in the video, and then shimmering light came in, entering a basement with countless nutrition cabins inside , all kinds of grotesque creatures, beauty snakes, mermaids, women covered in animal hair, teenagers sleeping curled up in huge tails...

The camera turned and landed on an operating table separated by sterile glass. Yuan Yi was staring at the operating table, holding a little boy with half of his body covered with metal prostheses in his arms. The person on the operating table had his eyes wide open. Looking at the camera blankly, like an animal being slaughtered, his festering hands and feet have been cut off, and the quiet medical equipment is picking up the beast's claw at the place where his broken arm is.

Lin Jingheng thought very contemptuously: "What kind of aesthetics is this?"

After the contempt was over, he didn't forget to tremble in "panic" and spilled the whole bottle of painkillers on the ground - although he didn't know if the boy was being stupid or the other party arranged it on purpose, but it didn't matter, he just wanted to sleep Someone gave me a pillow.

Through the spiritual network, Yuan Yiren saw the cause and effect clearly. He held his chin and thought for a moment, then beckoned and called one of his subordinates: "The little kingfisher I raised is disobedient again, go and give him some Lesson—revise the original track, let's see which gutter this cunning and self-defeating thing is hiding...and then play a game."

Lin Jingheng—now a sea snake who values ​​love and righteousness and is a little bit cunning, wandered around the guest room for 10 minutes like a trapped animal, but couldn't find any tools at hand, so he took the metal decoration on the bedpost. When he got down, relying on his thinness, he stuffed it into his clothes and slipped out quietly.

The heavy armor is too big, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it takes a long time to walk around. Even if the driver's mental net can cover any corner, Sea Snake thinks that the other party will not care about such a small person like himself. Taking a breath, I saw a patrolling pirate not far away walking towards the bathroom alone, so I followed him quietly, and there was a slight muffled sound from the bathroom. Walked out from the inside—no way, the uniform he was wearing was too ill-fitting, two trouser legs hung on him like cropped trousers, empty, and a pair of fashionable ankles were exposed.

Sea Snake intuitively thought that this kind of hip-hop style pirate would not be very popular here, so he carefully avoided other people along the way. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps rushed towards him, and Sea Snake quickly stopped and stepped down. For a moment, he saw a person rushing out from the corner in front—it was the boy who had just delivered him the medicine.

The boy's eyes were red and his face was full of fear. He was chasing after two strong pirates. He was about to catch him, but the boy's feet suddenly left the ground. He was as light as a piece of paper. Turned up and down.

It wasn't until then that the sea snake noticed that the reason why he walked strangely was because the boy's chest was abnormally shaped, with a protuberance that looked like a bird, his arms were outstretched, and the arms were much longer than ordinary people, and the sleeves of his shirt It broke open during the pulling, revealing the flat arms like wings, and the tattered clothes hanging on the arms were like feathers, making him glide in the air strangely.

At this moment, a large net engulfed the sky and covered the sky, enveloping the bird-like boy in a pocket, there was an electric current in the net, sparks exploded the moment it touched the boy, he struggled painfully, opened his mouth , but only screamed like a bird's song.

Lin Jingheng said: "This bitter trick seems to be real."

However, he hesitated for a moment—because it stands to reason that the Sea Snake, who has turned against Big Sister Smelly but still refuses to disclose the coordinates of the underground channel, is unlikely to die.

One of the pirates put the dying bird boy down, kicked him roughly, grabbed his hair, and dragged him off the ground. The live net was in the hands of another pirate, who was lagging behind his companions. After a few steps, I am planning to hang the grid back to its original position.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and patted him on the shoulder. The pirate who was about to hang the power grid looked back, saw the patrolman's uniform, and muttered: "Understood, pack it up now."

The next moment, he suddenly realized something, and before he turned his head to see clearly, his neck was suddenly strangled by an arm, followed by a sharp pain, and he lost consciousness immediately.

Lin Jingheng, as a murderer and arsonist, silently caught the fallen pirate, took over the laser gun in his hand and the power grid hanging in the sky—thanks to the damage to his core muscles, he was a little weak in his hands and feet, otherwise Accidentally unscrewing the head of this hapless bastard, I'm afraid it's going to be exposed.

The pirate was dragging the bird boy back, when suddenly, the fine hairs and fine hair ends on his back stood up for no reason. As soon as he turned his head, the charged net had swooped down, and the pirate choked in his throat with a cry of surprise. Dawang jumped right on, and was shocked on the spot, turning into a break dancer who couldn't beat the drums.

Lin Jingheng slid past him lightly, and at the same time, a thin laser shot out from the laser gun, which precisely cut the hair of the bird boy who was caught, picked him up, and ran forward without looking back .

That boy was not too young to be human. Even though Lin Jingheng had turned into a temporary hemp stick, he could still lift him with one hand without too much effort. Except for the human head, even his bones seemed to have turned into birds.

But... how is it possible?

Isn't this kind of grafted monster unable to leave the nutrition cabin for half a step?

Lin Jingheng thought of Lu Bixing's strange bone age and mismatched genes in a flash, and suddenly tightened the fingers holding the bird boy.

Alarms started to sound in the entire heavy armor, Lin Jingheng—Sea Snake shook the bird boy in his hand vigorously: "Is there a spare mecha on this heavy armor? Where is the launch platform?"

The heavy armor is sometimes used as a "mothership" in the team. There will be a launch platform on it, and a certain number of spare mechas will be carried according to the capacity.

The bird boy broke free from his hand with difficulty, coughed heavily, and raised his finger in a direction.

Yuan Yiren let out a "ha": "An unexpected harvest, I know a lot about this little thing that eats inside and outside - don't hunt it down with all your strength, put a little water on it, let him run away... Well, don't put too much, it looks too much." It’s not good to be fake, let them suffer a little bit, and be careful not to hurt their faces.”

The two great dramatists performed a realistic life-and-death contest in such a tacit understanding even though neither of them had checked the script.
