Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Gabriel is running away.

In fact Gabriel can't remember how many days he ran away, he was completely disoriented because his electronic map was lost, after he helped Lyall to distract the Zerg, he was targeted by one of the bugs , In order to escape for his life, Gabriel had to shrink into a cave in a certain rock crevice, and stayed there quietly for about three days before he got rid of the pursuit of the persistent bug.

When he crawled out of the cave, the Zergs were all gone, the vast and desolate land was still rocky and sandy, and the sky felt gray, not as blue as before.

That day was a rare rainy day, the gift from nature was sprinkled on this barren land, and the air was also stained with dampness, so Gabriel couldn't help it, he took out the water in his pocket bag, crawled out of the cave, and wanted to catch the rainwater, because his water reserve was not much, and if he didn't drink any more water, he would be thirsty to death.

However, just after Gabriel filled his water bag with the gift of rain nectar, another Zerg appeared out of nowhere, slowly approaching him from behind while he was receiving the water.

It was a bug that seemed to be much smaller than the average Zerg, not much bigger than a human, probably because of its small size, it moved faster and more flexibly.

It really didn't make any sound when it crawled over. Gabriel, who was catching the water, didn't even notice the approach of the bug until he caught the rainwater and stuffed the water bag into his pocket. There was a sharp pain, a strong force hit, and then Gabriel was thrown down.

This change frightened Gabriel, he hastily pulled out the short knife pinned to his waist, turned around and made a quick slash, but ordinary blades couldn't do much damage to the Zerg, and Gabriel's slash couldn't even break through Opponent's armor.

But Gabriel was not killed immediately by the Zerg at that time, so he could get some breathing time. He was able to look back and see the Zerg attacking him from behind. This bug was much smaller than he imagined.

But no matter what the size of the bug is, the fact that it is far stronger than humans will not change. At that time, Gabriel only felt that his back seemed to have been severely injured, and a large area of ​​blood flowed out from him, falling on the ground one by one, mixed with The wet soil and rain have stained the land red.

Gabriel was shaking from the pain, his body was limp and weak, he could only force himself to turn over, looking up at the approach of the small bug.

Under close observation, Gabriel found that the small Zerg that attacked him was missing an arm. Its right claw and right arm were cut off by someone, but the Zerg has a strong self-healing ability, if it Eat more food, this arm can grow back.

So it needs to eat, Gabriel is its food, it can eat Gabriel.

So the bug opened its mouth full of fangs towards Gabriel, and it let out a sharp roar, the sound seemed to penetrate Gabriel's eardrums, filling Gabriel's brain, Gabriel sat on the ground, bit by bit Move the point back, but he knew it was useless, he probably would die here today.

Death was not a very distant thing to him.

Gabriel was an orphan when he was a child, probably the kind abandoned by his parents. As long as he can remember, he only remembers that he lived on an extremely desolate planet, and he usually made a living by begging.That desolate planet was a very remote and barren planet outside the jurisdiction of the Alliance Government at that time, a place occupied by criminals, pirates, black household refugees and other villains.

Because it is a planet full of darkness, it is a place outside the law, so no matter what kind of crimes of a bad nature occur on this planet, there is no need to be surprised. Murder, fire prevention, robbery, rape, these things happen every day and every moment Happened, no one will care about these, people will die on this planet at any time.

Gabriel, who grew up on such a dark planet, was naturally not a good bird when he grew up. He raped, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, and murder and arson were already the norm. Gabriel was very smart at that time, and he was very good at catering and pleasing others. He went to seek the protection of those powerful forces, acted according to the wind, and messed with whoever was stronger, so he survived the insidious and cunning, and joined a pirate group, becoming an even worse pirate.

Gabriel has never regarded himself as a good person. He has killed many people. He knows that he will suffer retribution sooner or later, so he is also prepared to face the result that he may die miserably at any time.

Back then when he fell on the earth, he also thought that he was bound to die.

But he was rescued like this, and the benefactor who rescued him was named A Xiao.

A Xiao, A Xiao...that is really a stupid man, he has a hypocritical face that treats everyone well all day long, he takes good care of everyone, and always has a righteous face, because he is loyal and reliable, so he won The trust and protection of a group of brothers, as well as the subtle feelings that various men and women secretly entrusted to him.

This is really disgusting, this damned A Xiao, and this damned lost army base.

Why is everyone such a hypocritical face?Why do we have to love each other and pretend to be friendly?Shouldn't you fight openly and secretly, kill each other, and intrigue with ugly faces?Isn't this the way of intrigue and deceit among human beings?

The nature of human beings is evil, and there is no kindness at all. Gabriel has seen it very thoroughly since he was a child, and it is because he has seen it thoroughly that he can quickly integrate into that environment, quickly find his own survival position, and quickly Let yourself survive smoothly.

This seemingly perfect base for the Lost Army is actually not perfect. Gabriel knows it well. He has long seen the dirty faces of some people in this base. It was so obvious, but the others still had expressions of being in dire straits but not knowing it, almost making Gabriel laugh.

And that damned A Xiao, didn’t he just drugged him and lied to him that the two of us slept all night, just wanted to make A Xiao feel sick, but this man just went to take Gabriel’s position in a foolish way , It's ridiculous!

I can't even see this kind of tricks, how stupid is that man?

Ah... But no matter how stupid I am, I probably won't be able to go back.

Gabriel looked at the monster's approaching fangs. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts, and finally he returned to a strange calm. He was never afraid of death, because he had seen through death, and he knew that death was nothing but transformation. For a handful of loess, it becomes the most primitive form in the world.

It may be easier and more pleasant to die than to live.

Gabriel didn't know the meaning of his insistence on surviving. He always lived so easily. Others tried their best to survive, but it was very simple for Gabriel. He always saw everything in front of him clearly. So he knew it was the right way to go.

But the day he chose to help Lyle, Gabriel knew he was on a wrong path. Dangerous things are always accompanied by fatal risks, so Gabriel knew that this is a path that must die. Clearly, but he still chose to take this road.

Maybe it's because I don't think life is very meaningful.

Therefore, the arrival of death is also a matter of course. Gabriel was already mentally prepared. He lay on the ground a little tired. He saw that the Zerg had crawled on top of him. He was extremely calm and even a little satisfied.

He thought that his throat would be bitten off by the bug, and he would be eaten by it bit by bit, but it didn't work out. The small bug crawled on him and sniffed for a long time, and finally took Gabriel with its claws. Pick it up, put it on your body, and lead him in one direction.

This action confused Gabriel, because the expected death did not happen, which disrupted Gabriel's steps. He was inexplicably carried on the shoulders of the bug. He lay on the bug's back and was carried by it. I don't know where to go.

Only the continuous drizzle in the sky is still falling, and the rain has lowered the temperature during the hot day. There is no such unbearable high temperature. With the long-lost cool touch brought by the rain, people's mood seems to have changed happy up.

The moment Gabriel lay on its back, his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He seemed to have fallen asleep for a short time. When he woke up, he found that he had been taken by the bug and crawled into a cave that he didn't know where. .

It was dark inside the cave, but there was probably a water source inside, because Gabriel heard the sound of water dripping, which was the sound that woke him up. When he woke up, the Zerg seemed to be gone.

Gabriel took out the flashlight from his backpack and turned it on to illuminate the surrounding environment. This should be a natural cave, very dark and a bit damp, and there is a small natural pool with a pool of crystal clear water.

Gabriel crawled to the side of the water source and washed his face in the pool of water. After washing, he heard rustling sounds coming from beside him. Gabriel took a flashlight to look there and saw The small and strange Zerg was digging the soil in the corner at this moment.

Digging?

Gabriel felt a little strange. When he realized that the bug had no intention of harming him, although he didn't understand why, Gabriel still summoned up his courage and went forward to investigate.

As he walked over, he shone the light of his flashlight and saw that the worm had dug a hole in the ground that was just the right size for a person to lie in, and then filled the hole with cloth and hay that had been dug out from nowhere. I filled it in.

After filling the hole, the worm seemed very satisfied. It turned around and grabbed Gabriel with its paws. At the same time, the worm put him in the place where it was filled with hay cloth. On the soft pit head.

Is this a nest for me?

Gabriel nestled on the head of the pit, and before he could move much, the Zerg pounced on him, knocked Gabriel down, wrapped him in his arms, and surrounded him with its tail and wings .
