Marriage indefinitely

"Yang, you go first." Lu Zhengqing said.

【What's wrong? 】

"..." Lu Zhengqing glanced at the indicator light, "The energy compartment of the combat boat was punctured, and the nuclear power leaked...the existing fuel is not enough to support me to fly to the mothership."

【What are you going to do? 】 Yang asked.

"I plan to make a forced landing on the wx35 permafrost."

There was silence in the communicator for a while.

They all know the harsh conditions of the permafrost... With the base almost destroyed and all troops and personnel evacuated from wx35, there is little hope of surviving after a forced landing on the permafrost.

【Good luck. ] Yang finally spoke.

"Good luck to the Free Cities." Lu Zhengqing said, "Goodbye."

He turned off the communicator.

Driving the combat boat to slow down, and then swooped down towards wx35.

The situation was even worse than what he said, the battleship lost all control of the power system, and x11 might have turned into a shining meteor when it entered the atmosphere because it could not slow down, and disappeared from then on.

He just doesn't want Yang to know this...

Since the final result cannot be changed, why bother others.

All the power of the battleship was used for acceleration.

Soon, it was pushed towards wx35, and after more than ten seconds, it penetrated into the thick atmosphere of wx35 at high speed.

There are always strong winds and lightning in the wx35 layer with acid rain.

x11 wobbles in it.

The air particles in the fugitive layer were rubbed around x11 to generate heat, and the entire front section of the battleship was wrapped in a cloud of high temperature.

It's a frightening scene.

Maybe in a few more minutes, x11 will take him crashing into the permafrost.

But Lu Zhengqing was unusually calm at this moment.

The foreign objects began to go away.

The passage of time slowed down in his eyes.

He has experienced too much in his short life...from Omega College to the General Government University...to turn the tide, to revive the bankrupt Lu family, and to establish his own business empire...from a citizen of the Union to a soldier of the Free City ...

From thinking that I will die alone to having sustenance...

... Qingqing.

Someone called his name.

For more than a year.

He and the past he has experienced.

Never has a moment been so clear.

Sweet.

sour.

bitter.

and what he owes...

In the moment before the end of life, it is no longer important.

x11 broke through the atmosphere...it began to fall to the ground more quickly.

Below is the permafrost.

It began to fall from an altitude of [-] kilometers.

The weightlessness makes everything inside the x11 fly.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The figure that he thought about day and night faintly appeared in front of his eyes...

Lu Zhengqing stretched out his hand...

——Qingqing, wake up.

——Qingqing, wake up!

"Qingqing! Survive!!!" A familiar voice came from the switched off communicator.

Lu Zhengqing woke up suddenly.

He looked down at his dashboard.At this moment, all the out-of-control power system indicators suddenly returned to normal, and the fuel leakage was stopped.

There was just enough fuel left for him to land on the permafrost.

【alarm!alarm!There is still one minute and 30 seconds to hit the permafrost. 】The emotionless AI is reminding him frantically.

Lu Zhengqing gritted his teeth, grabbed the joystick, and pulled it up with all his strength.

X11 tilted up suddenly in the air, and the violent friction made it make a rapid braking sound.

It spun in mid-air, crumbling.

Then it swooped down again, and dived rapidly toward the permafrost layer. Finally, when it was about to get close to the permafrost layer, the nose was raised, and half of the incomplete landing gear was exposed.

It hits the upper permafrost.

It was bounced by the permafrost again, and flung out again.

Then it rubbed against the ground, sending sparks flying.

The sharp rubbing sound resounded through the entire earth.

Ten seconds later, it loaded headlong into the cover in front of it, and finally stopped without moving.

After a while, someone tore open the cockpit, threw the shattered windshield on the cockpit to the ground, and climbed out from inside.

Lu Zhengqing's combat uniform was broken.

The helmet is also broken.

He fell to the ground with difficulty from inside, then knelt down on the ground, gasping for breath.Then he took off the helmet with trembling hands.

There was blood dripping on his forehead.

His mind was dizzy.

But he is still alive.

To be alive... nothing is more important than that.

The voice that came from the communicator just now seemed to be his own imagination—it was the last will to survive.

There is no one else on the lonely wx35.

Only the sound of rain falling reminded him... how cold the night of the upcoming wx35 will be.

Lu Zhengqing completed the positioning of the surrounding areas.

The previously explored subterranean ruins are nearby - no wonder there's a cover here.

He packed the first-aid kit from x11 and started to move towards the underground ruins.

In the rain, he walked hard for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the entrance of the underground ruins before the sky was completely dark.

Due to the completion of preliminary investigations here, all personnel have been evacuated and the generator has been taken away.

It was dark inside.

Lu Zhengqing had to go down to find a place that was warm enough to resist the cold.

He turned on the lamp and began to walk down, down, until he reached the floor of the underground ruins...the light came from afar.

Lu Zhengqing was taken aback.

He looked up.

The lights in the passageway are flickering, pointing to the distance.

——Qingqing, go up, don't look back.

There was an unusual premonition guiding him, pushing him forward.

Those breathing lights guided him into the pyramid laboratory.

When he was standing in the lab.

The four multi-dimensional cameras under the incubator suddenly started, and then a figure was drawn in the air.

He descended slowly until he met Lu Zhengqing's gaze.

The first second Lu Zhengqing saw this avatar, tears poured out uncontrollably.

"You...are still alive..." He choked up and asked.

"Don't cry, Qingqing." Xia Yu said with a smile.

Lu Zhengqing broke down in tears.

Xia Yu kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Although he was just an illusory image, the hot kiss still fell on Lu Zhengqing's heart.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Qingqing."

This image with Xia Yu's appearance but with Xiao Lan's gentle expression said softly.

"I love you, my Rose Nebula."

20 years later.

Free Cities.

The planet closest to the black hole.

Lu Zhengqing had settled down here a long time ago.

The passage of time on this planet will be ten times slower than normal time due to the influence of the black hole.

For Lu Zhengqing, 20 years is just two solar years.

He turned down the induction cooker.

The boiled ostrich meat is steaming.

Then he changed into a more formal suit - not as exquisite as when he was the CEO of the Alliance, but the best clothes he could find in the Free Cities.

He came out and took the gloves on the table and a pair of plain rings that he had prepared earlier.

A small cluster of black roses was pinned in his breast pocket.

"How is it?" He looked in the mirror before heading out.

——He is the same as he was two years ago.

The barcode on the forehead has not faded, nor has it been hidden.

Like a mechanical spider, r2 climbed down from the roof, banged on the mirror glass, and gave a very high affirmation.

Lu Zhengqing smiled.

"Hurry up, he's still waiting for us."

With a jump, r2 landed on his shoulder.

When he opened the door to go out, he said to r2: "We have to hurry up, we will be back in a while and have crock pot soup."

r2 once again expressed affirmation.

alliance.

Parthenon galaxy.

The inner core of the capital star, the interior of the cloud map.

Xia Yu finished the last task, stood up and stretched: "Okay, it's time, I have to go."

"Suddenly I feel a little reluctant to part with you."

"I have stayed here for 20 years." Xia Yu said, "Abolished more than a thousand unreasonable systems including knowledge crimes, courts, and the "Omega Inheritance Act". Re-adjusted the program for you and emptied the bug. Work hard and never rest. Don't let me retire."

"You should know that human beings connected with me cannot leave," Yuntu said.

"Yes." Xia Yu replied, "Unless you give up everything, right?"

"Are you really willing?" Yuntu asked him, "Wisdom, knowledge, power, spiritual power... endless... Are you willing to give up all these? You will become an ordinary person."

Xia Yu looked up at the hazy sky, where big scarlet eyes were watching them.

"When you get more endless things, people will always forget that they are not gods."

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"Use all this in exchange for a peaceful life in the future, I am willing."

"I'll be lonely without you."

"r2 will be with you." Xia Yu said, "It has long been inseparable from you."

Yun Tu smiled.

The two of them walked forward.

Drilled along the optical fiber into the upper part of the pyramid laboratory of wx35, the petri dish of embryos with no six-sex distinction that stored the DNA of primitive humans.

Started there early.

Now a human body exactly like Xia Yu's was really sleeping in it.

Xia Yu looked at his own body.

Looking at Yuntu again, he said with emotion, "I have one last question to ask you."

"please say."

"During my battle with Zhao Ying, you were biased towards me, right? Because strictly following the procedure, once the executive officer is elected, it cannot be changed for at least 50 years. But you changed the executive officer in a short period of time and gave me administrator privileges."

Yun Tu smiled and said nothing.

"You once told me that you have no distinction between good and evil. Good and evil come from the people who manipulate you." Xia Yu said, "Do you really have no distinction between good and evil? If you have, why has tens of thousands of years been so important to human beings?" There is no mercy in life or death. If you have no mercy, why help me?"

"Have you already guessed in your heart?"

Xia Yu smiled: "An AI is ruthless and has no preference. But what if you are not AI? Are you not a product of a higher civilization?"

"Oh?"

"Maybe you are the higher civilization itself?" Xia Yu said, "Maybe what you represent is not a carbon-based civilization, but a silicon-based civilization."

Yun Tu just smiled.

Xia Yu sighed: "Forget it, these speculations are meaningless at this stage."

He looked at Yuntu: "Goodbye, Yuntu."

"Goodbye, Mr. Executor."

Yun Tu bowed to him.

"Free will never dies, and alliances prosper."

Xia Yu felt that he had spent his whole life passing through a long and narrow black corridor.

Then light and sound appeared to his five senses.

His nasal cavity coughed violently from the thick artificial amniotic fluid pouring in.

All kinds of warmth and pain transmitted from the nerve endings to the brain that he hadn't felt for a long time stimulated his nerves.

Then he was lifted out of the petri dish and held tightly in his arms.

He barely opened his eyes.

In the haze, Lu Zhengqing's face appeared extremely clear.

"Don't open your eyes, your body is too new and you still need to get used to it." Lu Zhengqing said softly.

Then his hand was held, and something cold circled his ring finger.

"What... what..." Xia Yu asked hoarsely, manipulating her unfamiliar voice.

Lu Zhengqing's chuckle came from next to his ear.

Lu Zhengqing kissed his wet lips.

"Have you forgotten? You are my husband. We signed a marriage contract before we got married..." Lu Zhengqing said, "Even though more than 20 years have passed, don't forget—"

"This marriage contract has no deadline."

And there's an epilogue, don't walk away.
