back to Earth

What color is the universe?

To many it would appear to be deep black, dotted with silvery stars, and perhaps some brilliant nebula tint.

In fact, the universe has no color.

All its beautiful colors are added by those beautiful celestial bodies in the starry sky, and once these stars and nebulae are left, what is left in the universe?

Cheng Zhen looked at the endless blackness outside the ship window, blackness without a trace of light.It's like a bottomless abyss devouring you, making people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Without the embellishment of stars, the universe seems to be nothing—no color, no light, no life, nothing.

The black-haired boy stretched out his hand, looked at his own hair color, and compared it with the devouring blackness outside the window, and felt that he was still slightly inferior.

This kind of frightening darkness, if only one person stays here, he will either go crazy or commit suicide.

After more than half a month of travel, half an hour ago, they left a star field at the farthest border of the interstellar and went to an unknown starry sky.

This is a mysterious universe that has never been visited by interstellar life. When entering this star field without a ray of light, everyone was surprised.

They did not expect that there is such a place where life is extinct in the always colorful and splendid universe.

Compared with the entire vast universe, whether it is human beings or the Bertutan race, they are really too small.

Cheng Zhen was afraid that if he continued to look at the endless darkness, his eyes would become snow-blind, so he quickly looked away.Just leaning against the window quietly as before, thinking about things in a trance.What is he thinking?

"What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Zhen turned his head and looked at the guy who quietly appeared beside him.Such a big man, walking without sound?

Rhine had already taken off his goggles, and in this dark place, he was much more comfortable than usual.In the past few days, no matter where Cheng Zhen stayed, the great emperor-level lord could always be found quickly and appear by his side anytime and anywhere.

The black-haired boy was already accustomed to this.

"Just thinking about it." He met the other party's dark golden eyes that were looking straight at him, and said. "If humans really escaped from this star road to the interstellar world, how did our ancestors get here?"

There is no light, no life. For the human beings who have just escaped from the ruined homeland, it is simply an abyss where there is no hope.They don't know exactly when they will be saved and when they will see the light again.Is this dark star field equivalent to another doomsday for them?

In the despair of not knowing whether it will end, I can only push myself forward day after day, and continue this endless journey day after day.

How much fear will there be in the hearts of human beings at that time, and how much hope will be left?

Cheng Zhen couldn't help but be dazed when he thought of this journey that he had never experienced before.He lived in peace on earth in his previous life, and in this life, human beings have already settled in the interstellar world, so he is also considered safe.And in the middle, I don't know how many years have passed, and he knows nothing about the long migration of human beings in order to seek new life.

"They are great and admirable." Rhine said, looking at the darkness outside the window. "Human beings who can continue to move forward in despair and finally escape from this darkness are worthy of respect."

"Yes." A faint pride floated in his heart, and a smile appeared on Cheng Zhen's face. "No matter how desperate the situation is, my compatriots can overcome it. Human beings may not be powerful, but they definitely have unlimited possibilities."

Rhine looked at the smile on the black-haired boy's mouth, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand to caress the corner of Cheng Zhen's mouth.

Shocked by his unexpected action, Cheng Zhen didn't recover until his cool fingers touched his lips, and immediately took a step back.

Rhine raised his eyebrows, looking at his evasive movement with displeasure. "is it not OK?"

The hidden hints in those words made Cheng Zhen speechless and speechless.In fact, he didn't feel disgusted by Rhine's touch, but was more surprised.Thinking of the future relationship between the two, the black-haired boy was tangled.

If it is really a fiancée, this level of intimacy is also normal.

However, when he thought that Rhine, who was usually vigorous and ruthless, would actually act so tenderly, he felt uncomfortable.And deep down in his heart, there was inevitably a little joy quietly rising. This was the Rhine that belonged only to him, and even Leiber had never seen it.

After being entangled in his heart for a while, Cheng Zhen seemed to be going all out, and met Rhine's dissatisfied gaze and said.

"Even if you are a fiancé, you shouldn't have too intimate behaviors before the marriage is formalized."

The emperor-level adults are not satisfied. "Is this your human custom?"

"Yes." Cheng Zhen thought to himself that he was not lying, this was indeed a custom in ancient feudal China thousands of years ago.At that time, the two parties who got married could not meet before the worship.

"But as far as I know, human beings don't have such regulations." Rhine immediately exposed his lies, with a sharp look in his dark golden eyes.

The lie was exposed, and Cheng Zhen couldn't tell. "To be honest, I still can't get used to the marriage contract. It will take a while."

"I'm just giving you a chance to adapt." Rhine said as a matter of course. "The fastest way to adapt to something is to get familiar with it as much as possible. I think we need a lot of practice between us."

practise?What kind of practice?

Looking at Rhine who said these words calmly, Cheng Zhen took a few steps back calmly. He now has a serious sense of crisis.

Rhine, on the other hand, looked at the black-haired boy on guard quite interestingly.Cheng Zhen's move of retreating aroused his inner urge to catch prey even more.

But he was not in a hurry, admiring the expression of the prey when it was struggling made him feel more happy than the moment when he caught the prey.What's more, it was still his unique prey.

The sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger, just when Cheng Zhen was thinking about finding some excuse to sneak away first, the ship's communication sounded at the right time, saving him in time.

"An unknown star field has been detected ahead, and an unknown star field has been detected ahead. After analysis, this star field is a level-A dangerous area. Please prepare for battle everywhere, level-[-] alert, level-[-] alert!"

The notification rang three times in the ship, and it is estimated that the entire coalition force has now received the news.

Cheng Zhen was attracted to the mind as early as the first time. Is the unknown star field related to the earth?Finally arrived at the destination?

And when he realized that he was still facing a personal crisis, he turned around and saw that Rhine had returned to his usual cold appearance.It seemed that it was another person who teased him just now.

"When the war is over, we will have enough time to get to know each other." He glanced lightly at the relieved black-haired boy, and the emperor-level lord did not forget to pour a pot of cold water before leaving.

This was indeed the man who had teased him just now.Looking at the back of Lai Yinzhi who left triumphantly, Cheng Zhen secretly had a headache.

Let's wait for a while to think about things after the war.He avoided it with an ostrich mentality.

Rhine naturally returned to the command room, and Cheng Zhen also went to the Shadow to learn about the notification just now.

The vanguard of the coalition has already marched out of this dark field, and the situation in another star field they arrived at is not very clear.

Unlike the general starry sky dotted with bright stars, the unnamed star field in front exudes a faint blue light.Only then did the vanguard notice it at a glance. After all, in the dark world, that sudden touch of blue is too conspicuous.

"Blu-ray?" Cheng Zhen was puzzled. "Is it the light from which star?"

"No." Randall shook his head. "It's not so much light as it is an unknown substance. The star field is filled with this blue light substance, and the vanguard dare not approach it easily."

Blu-ray matter?

Cheng Zhen thought about it. In his memory, he only remembered the constellations of the Milky Way, the eight stars in the sun star, and the blue parent star.But according to the characteristics described by Randall and the others, is it possible that the star field in front of us is not the Milky Way?

Or, after the doomsday that year, the Milky Way has changed?Is this blue light related to the earth?

"Now the vanguard dare not go deep easily. This unknown substance seems to get thicker as it gets closer to the core of its star domain. The research team hasn't found out what it is yet?"

"However, Sean and the others must have passed by here too. It is impossible for them to detour elsewhere." According to the reconnaissance and intelligence analysis along the way, the coalition forces are very sure that they followed the traces of the enemy's retreat all the way, without any omissions.

"Who knows?" Randall shrugged. "Maybe they used some secret method to hide in."

Sean's secret weapon? e virus.

Cheng Zhen remembered something instantly, and excitedly grabbed Randall's arm. "I think I guessed what those unknown substances are! Randall, take me to the command room."

There must be a secret meeting in the command room right now, except for some people with sufficient authority, no one else is allowed to trespass.

Thinking of the last time he was turned away, Randall said with a stinky face. "Why do you need to find me, just go by yourself."

"How can it be..." Cheng Zhen was taken aback, thinking of his special status after being awarded the honor.This is indeed the qualification to directly enter the command room!Why bother other people.

Awards are also useful.He thought excitedly, then quickly ran out the door without saying hello.He wants to tell Rhine quickly about his conjecture, maybe this time, he can really find the mother star that humans have forgotten for many years!

Seeing the black-haired boy running away excitedly, Randall pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Stinky boy, throw me away if it's useless."

The others in Shadow took it for granted, and ignored a certain captain who was whining.

Victor's successor, the role of this medal is indeed extraordinary.When Cheng Zhen was allowed to enter the command room as he wished, he thought to himself that this medal is very useful besides being cumbersome.

Rhine was a little surprised when he saw him enter the command room.

On the side, several other emperors who were negotiating also noticed this unexpected name.Mo Yun even greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me! I have something important to report, Commanders."

Cheng Zhengong said.The few people in front of him are the four supreme commanders of the coalition forces, and these four people also represent the core power of the interstellar.It was also the first time for Cheng Zhen to see four emperors at the same time.

However, he seems to be ignoring himself.As a driver closest to the emperor class, the four emperor class also paid a lot of attention to Cheng Zhen.First, the shortest emperor named Dunerxing asked kindly.

"If you have any important information, please tell me, student Cheng Zhen."

The others didn't speak, but they all looked at him with friendly eyes.But among them, Rhine's eyes were the coldest.

what happened to him?

He was surprised by Rhine's unfriendly gaze in his heart, Cheng Zhen was puzzled, but he still spoke up.

"I think, about the exploration of the mysterious star field ahead, maybe I can go."

After saying this, he obviously felt that Rhine's eyes became colder.

However, the other emperors looked as expected, someone laughed.

"You agree with us, student Cheng Zhen. According to our guess, that mysterious substance may be related to the e-virus, so it's best to send you there. But Rhine didn't agree just now."

Rhine disagrees?

Cheng Zhen looked at a certain emperor who had not spoken in surprise, and what he saw was the rare irritability and depression in the other's dark golden eyes.
