Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

Ryan fell into a brief silence, his ears deaf from the congestion.

He too was in shock.

And the brand new blue energy bar that appeared miraculously is still flashing.Its appearance seems to declare that the mecha did not self-destruct at the last moment when the energy of the mechanical heart was exhausted, but switched to a mysterious new energy source that no insects knew.

Ryan was very sure that during the previous exercise, this new energy bar had never shown signs of appearing.

He collected himself, and suddenly thought of the words that reached his ears on the eve of the explosion.

Too real, too weird, as if they didn't come from your own head, but from inside the mech.

Besides, even if it was a fantasy, why would he fantasize about a version of Ivan's "last words"?

and many more.

In that passage, Aiwen mentioned... mechanical heart?

Ryan was wondering, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from inside the mech, from nowhere.

This time he heard very clearly that the sound did exist objectively.The source of the sound could not be found, as if it shrouded from above, hovering inside the closed mech.

"Well, I'm sorry, I just triggered the replay function when I was nervous and didn't know what happened... There shouldn't be any other effects, right?"

Now that voice sounds very guilty.

Ryan: "..."

Ryan: "Evan?"

When the order to "switch Q formation" came down, there was silence among the soldiers.

Luras sat in the mecha with tears in his eyes, but he still had to strictly obey the major general's orders like other bugs.He manipulated the mecha to kill the Viper clinging to the mecha, and at the same time retreated to the coordinates that he should guard.

In the display screen, the dot of light representing Mecha Alpha has rapidly disappeared.

Luras had been through the exercise and had been told what the move meant after the fusion of the mechanical heart had failed.

He forced himself to stare intently at the black group of sharp-winged vipers in the distance, feeling very painful in his heart.

In the bright, fleeting bursts of artillery fire, he saw the big explosion.

Luras adjusted the wartime intercom channel with his hands.

It can be automatically adjusted to the best state according to the situation, but Luras felt that his heart was empty the moment he witnessed the explosion of Mecha Alpha, and he had no choice but to fill it with some insignificant actions.He thought of how these abandoned military females fought desperately for nothingness and life in this battle, and how many military females died during the period.

The major general made it very clear before: After the suicide attack from Mecha Alpha is over, Commander Kono will be automatically connected to the commander's communication authority.

The next time the communication indicator lights up, it will be an unfamiliar voice.

Naturally, tonight's battle may be coming to an end.

What about after today?Lost Mecha Alpha, and when the wave of alien beasts comes again, will Serbia become the asteroid that was mentioned in the previous textbook and was completely destroyed by the sharp-winged vipers in the hopeless wait?

Luras was still watching the explosion.

The smoke dissipated.

Luras' eyes widened.

And the internal connection channel became restless for a while.

"Oh my god." Luras couldn't look at it in time for a while, and murmured absentmindedly, "Am I also hallucinating?"

Among the embers, the huge and powerful Mecha Alpha rushed out of the darkness, accompanied by countless dead Vipers hissing down.

In the next second, the familiar voice came again from the strategic communication channel:

"Restore the D-formation, all prepare."

Luras carried out the order at once, like every other little rack steeped in disbelief.After the operation, he briefly freed his hands to wipe his face to wipe away the tears.It was probably stimulated while watching the explosion, but now, the meaning in it has all changed: it is now tears of joy.

Cannon fire flickered.

Countless mechas cheered up, and tried their best to meet the group of sharp-winged Vipers who had been severely injured and were clearly in decline.

Why is it that the mecha, which has already declared that its energy is exhausted, can miraculously leap over the tide of alien beasts?

None of the bugs in the mecha took the time to think of a technical solution.

When rushing towards the tide of alien beasts again, they only had one thought in mind:

It was a miracle that befell the Serbian star.

All returned to silence.

The last few sharp-winged vipers were shot down, and the burning smell of the battle remained in the air, which was the only mark of this battle.

Ryan allowed the exhausted and excited soldiers to adjust in the mecha for a while, then ordered them to return to where they were.

Alpha took the lead during the battle, and naturally fell last when he returned.

Ryan relaxed his body and allowed himself to sit back in a cold sweat.

"Ewen." He said, with fear in his heart, his tone was involuntarily harsh.

Aiwen's voice suddenly appeared again just now, which was completely beyond Ryan's expectation.After confirming that it was a real voice, Ryan glanced around in panic, but couldn't figure out whether Aiwen was really in this mecha, and where he was hiding.However, before the battle, Aiwen couldn't explain to him, he just said:

"I'll talk to you about it later."

"Okay." Ryan still stared at the screen in front of him, "Where are you?"

Now that everything is over, he can finally recall the details that were revealed before, "You said you are a mechanical heart, what does that mean?"

"That's literally what it means." Ivan said.

"But..." Ryan still couldn't understand and accept, "This is too..."

"Crazy." Ai Wen was very considerate and found a word for him, "When I just found out, I also thought he was crazy. Not only did he want to be crazy, but he did it, so his crazyness may come again. Go up."

Ryan noticed that Ivan seemed to have not mentioned his own female father for a long time.Speaking of Holden again now, I don't know if it was because the sound was slightly distorted during the transmission process or something else, Ivan's voice sounded deliberately indifferent.

But at least for the moment, it doesn't matter.

"But you didn't tell us," Ryan said. "The moment you found out, you made up your mind, didn't you?"

It took a while for Ai Wen's voice to appear, and the indifferent tone just now was indeed an illusion, because now he sounds awkward again, "Yes."

The second half of the sentence sounds hopeful: "But you're not too mad at me, are you?"

Ryan began to sigh again.

"No." He said, "I have no position to be angry with you. Although you violated the military order, you are not a soldier. Besides, you not only saved me and Mecha Alpha, but also made an unimaginable contribution to this battle." contribution. If it wasn’t for what happened just now, we don’t know when the battle will end.”

Ai Wen was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Actually, you still have a position to be angry with me." When he spoke again, his tone sounded even more embarrassed.

"What position?"

"You...you know."

Ryan thought about it carefully, and said with certainty: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Ai Wen: "Didn't you say you like me too?"

Ryan took a breath, raised his head suddenly, and began to try in vain to find Ivan's location, "You—you heard?"

He quickly recalled everything he had said in a split second.

Even for a worm who thinks he's dying, those words are too blunt.The reason why Ryan was able to say these words was because he chose not to open the will system, and was very sure that other worms—especially Aiwen worms—would not hear his last weak and sentimental remarks.

As a result, his pale skin burned due to being in the cold and sunny Serbia all year round.

Aiwen continued to speak over there, and his tone sounded quite pleasant:

"I'm very happy. I was a little worried before. You didn't push me away in the car that day because you wanted to be polite to the male."

Ryan: "I..."

Alvin: "Do you know why I am happy?"

Ryan: "..."

He gave up and said, "I don't know. Go ahead."

Ai Wen's tone was very lively just now, but now he coughed twice very deliberately and became a little more serious.

"Because I like you very, very much, too," he said, "so I want you to live. After this, I'll... I'll go to court-martial with you, if that can't be avoided."

Ryan froze.

"I know," Ivan continued, "you'd probably rather end up here honorably than in court-martial. But you know, Holden said a word to me: 'To live is to hope'. It's a lie, but I think it's true, what do you think?"

Ryan took a deep breath.

Through the display screen that comes with the mech, he can see the overwhelming light, it is already dawn.

"...good," he said.

So Alvin became lively again.

"So, is this thing settled?" he asked hopefully, "Are we worms belonging to each other? Although it feels a bit informal to say this without showing your face..."

"Okay," Ryan said, "we'll talk about it later, we're about to land."

When Ryan stepped off Mecha Alpha, he was warmly welcomed by all the other female soldiers as expected.

The bugs that crawled out of the mechs one by one ignored the military orders one by one.They talked loudly and emotionally, some even held out their hands and wailed, hugging each other to make sure it was indeed over.

Amidst the uproar, good news came from another place:

Carson had successfully broken out of the encirclement before the start of the war, and waited all night for new news from Serbia.Now he himself is full of excitement in the starship, and he has already determined the return route, and he will probably arrive in the evening.

The research bugs from the mechanical laboratory also came.

Compared to other bugs, they are naturally very excited, but beyond that, they still have concerns.

"The major generals are back, but the male has not yet appeared." Burt said solemnly, "Either he hid himself, or he wasn't on Serbia at all...but I still believe it's the former."

The worms looked at each other silently.

"Compared to this, I'm actually curious about one more thing." Another research worm said, "Don't we want to break our heads and can't make the key work perfectly? What is the situation now? Is there a data error?"

"That's absolutely impossible."

Ryan has already stepped off the mech, standing on a high lifting platform, serving the excited military females below.

"I have two words to say." He said seriously.

The army females spontaneously quieted down slightly.

"In this battle, we won the victory because of three factors." He nodded slightly, "First, our soldiers fought bravely, faced the enemy head-on, and repelled the tide of alien beasts."

"Secondly, it is our logistics soldiers who have put in all their strength to provide guarantee for the soldiers' assault."

"third."

Ryan's expression became strange.

Then he raised his head slightly and looked at Alpha's energy reserve beside him, where there was a small hidden cover.

When he paused, all the other worms standing below followed his gaze and looked at the metal cover.I saw its surface vibrate slightly twice, and suddenly opened automatically!

Insects: "?"

Then, from the gap formed between the cover and the inside of the mecha, a mechanical hand stretched out.

Insects: "!"

Research bugs: "!!!"

Ryan stretched out his hand, and in the next second, the main worm of the robot had already held Ryan's hand, and crawled out from the metal cover with its strength.His shoes and gloves were gone, and he was sweating profusely in a thin singlet.Ai Wen had a wrong button on the hem of his shirt, which he had buttoned in the dark after the mecha landed, so it was very excusable.

The military females stared blankly at Ivan who was standing on the lifting platform with Ryan.

The latter smiled and waved to them.

Insects: "..."

Their expressions became more dull.

Only the research bugs were very happy: "Hey, everyone is happy now."

Bert stood between them, still very serious.He looked in the direction of the elevator, clenched his hands into fists, and felt tears blind his eyes.

"So that's how it is." He immediately figured out the key point, with a complicated expression on his face, "He is..."

"Third." There was a little smile on Ryan's face, and he took another deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "It's because the real mechanical heart chose Serbia."

The lifting platform landed in an increasingly dazed silence.

Ryan still held Ivan's hand, and the two worms walked into the swarm.

A louder cry suddenly burst out from all directions.The army females were crying and laughing, shouting words that they couldn't understand because they were entangled.Ryan took Ivan all the way out, and it stands to reason that there should be a road in the middle to avoid the male insect.However, no worm can care about those miscellaneous things now. Almost all the worms passed by Ivan want to be shaken by him. He shook hands hard.

"Your gloves and shoes are in the grocery room." Bert didn't know what to say, so he had to be concise, "And the optical brain."

"I know." Evan said.

Then he let go of Bert's hand and continued to be led by Ryan.

The sky in Serbia is very blue today.

The author has something to say: Thank you for reading!

From the next chapter, our Ivan and Ryan are going to develop a new map, which involves a plot that is completely different from that on the Serbian planet... It makes the author who runs naked without a clue a little bald.

I'm a bit busy near the end of the year, so I want to ask for three days off to smooth out my thoughts, at least laying a foundation for the second half of the outline.

Thank you for your understanding.
