The energy of the rescue capsule is enough to drift in the universe for a long period of time, and even continue to send distress signals, and then wait for the passing spacecraft or special rescue.
However, this time, before leaving the spaceship, most of the energy of the rescue capsule has been consumed.
——In order to prevent being chased by the people on the spaceship, after Ji Yuhuai obtained the control of the spaceship with the copied key, he did not forcibly close the energy field around the spaceship, but increased the level of the protective cover one after another. In this way, almost all the energy on the spacecraft was consumed in a short period of time.
In the next short period of time, the artificial intelligence Phil will probably save energy and reduce his computing power load until they wait until the energy ship responsible for transporting supplies from the Xingyao Empire arrives...
After all, even if this spaceship has a self-destruct program, this kind of self-destruct setting is entirely to prevent being taken away by the enemy in the most extreme environment, and in most cases, the normal thinking must be to wait rescue.To activate the self-destruct program, simply copying the key is not enough.
And Ji Yuhuai has no intention of dragging others into the water just to escape himself.
As a result, when Ji Yuhuai's plan was more than half successful, the only deviation appeared in Elvis who was beside him.
For Ji Yuhuai, the single-person rescue cabin with its closed cabin can lie down and turn over comfortably.
However, after adding another Elvis, the space instantly became narrower.
In the violent irregular rotation, the rescue capsule was thrown a long way.
In the crazy rotation that made it impossible to distinguish the direction at all, the bodies of the two were forced to squeeze together. Ji Yuhuai lay on his back in the rescue cabin, and met Elvis' gray-blue eyes at close range.
Those eyes were full of shock and anger, but with a somewhat suppressed cold smile.
Ji Yuhuai watched Elvis' face almost sticking to his own, and then let out a creepy whisper.
"caught you."
Ji Yuhuai: "..." Do you care?
Now he is dizzy from being turned around, and he even feels like vomiting, it's too uncomfortable...
·
In the spaceship whose energy was completely consumed, the staff and Phil who directly canceled his own optical brain mode in order to save energy, and re-stuffed himself into the screen looked at each other.
The staff was almost suffocating, "His Highness Elvis, he, he—"
Phil knew enough about Elvis' physical condition, and calmly said: "If you are going to fall to your death, it must be Ji Yuhuai who went wrong first. Ji Yuhuai's current body has not been genetically enhanced and is very fragile."
staff member:"……"
At this moment, another staff member suddenly stumbled over and said with a pale face: "The body of the leader of the rebel army—"
Phil also followed eagerly: "What's wrong?"
"That body suddenly experienced multi-organ failure, and the treatment effect of the medical cabin has completely failed!"
·
The limited energy of the rescue capsule was almost exhausted when it was separated from the spacecraft because it passed through the high-energy shield.
When the escape capsule, which was completely out of control, passed through the atmosphere and fell to the ground like a spark, it sent out another extremely violent impact.
The basic protective function of the rescue capsule should still be there, however, the fall after the energy was exhausted made it dilapidated.
Ji Yuhuai's body couldn't bear the fusion environment, and his consciousness had already become chaotic in the spinning and falling.
In a trance, there seemed to be a fiery embrace, slapping him tightly with his arms.
Like a piece of meringue, it is wrapped in a crispy and sweet outer skin.
It's just that the embrace was so hard, when Ji Yuhuai was tightened by those arms, Ji Yuhuai even felt as if he was dying of suffocation...
When Ji Yuhuai regained consciousness again, the surroundings were chilly, only a little warmth came from under him.
Next to it is the slow and rhythmic "tick" sound of water droplets.
He struggled slowly for a while before finally opening his eyes.
The surrounding light is very dark, it should be at night, and a small puddle around is full of shimmering light.
This is a dilapidated building, as if it has experienced some turmoil, most of the things have been removed or damaged, leaving only a messy broken wall, and even moss has begun to grow.
Ji Yuhuai's heart skipped a beat.
He thought it was his first time here, but he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity...
But at this moment, he himself was so stiff and sore that it was difficult to move.
After a long time, he got up from the soft temperature under his body, and slowly sat aside.
——Elvis, who was cushioned by him to cushion the impact, was Elvis who had already lost consciousness.
Elvis was lying unconscious on the ground, with a small amount of scratches and blood stains on his body, but it didn't seem serious, probably because of his extraordinary physical strength.
On the contrary, it was Ji Yuhuai himself, who was not injured at all.
Ji Yuhuai's eyes fell on Elvis' handsome and embarrassed face with his eyes closed, and he was even a little dazed for a while.
He had completely lost consciousness before. However, comparing the current state of the two of them, and the nearby rescue capsule that was completely destroyed, it is not difficult to guess that Elvis must have used his body in the previous fall. to protect myself.
After a long time, Ji Yuhuai couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The ground was moist with a small amount of moss growing on it, giving it a cool and smooth feeling. After leaving Elvis and sitting on the ground, Ji Yuhuai soon felt the damp coolness rising from the ground.
I was in a comfortable constant temperature environment on the spaceship before, but now I have left the rescue capsule, the temperature from the real environment exudes a kind of coolness that penetrates the bone marrow.
Ji Yuhuai couldn't help shivering.
He looked back at the puddle, and the sound of dripping water never stopped, and the temperature here was at least above zero.
However, if this continues, the surrounding temperature will still be enough to frostbite people.
As if thinking of something suddenly, Ji Yuhuai stretched out his hand and gently touched Elvis' forehead with the back of his hand.
Sure enough, the obvious heat from his body before was because this person had a fever.
Otherwise, in such a cold environment at the same time, although the body temperature of a person will try to keep as constant as possible, the temperature of the body surface will inevitably drop significantly under the erosion of the cold.
Ji Yuhuai withdrew his hands, supported the ground with his hands, and stood up with some difficulty.
With the faint moonlight, Ji Yuhuai looked around carefully.
There is running water, moss, and the temperature is not too low. There should be bushes or plants nearby. He needs to make a bonfire, and both of them need to keep warm.
Ji Yuhuai roughly checked Elvis' body, and after confirming that he had no other problems except skin abrasions, he stood up and walked slowly towards the upstream direction of the water.
After Ji Yuhuai's footsteps left a little distance, behind him, Elvis, who thought he was still in a coma, opened his eyes directly.
Those gray-blue eyes obviously became deep and dark in the night.
His eyes fell on Ji Yuhuai's back, with a cold and sharp scrutiny.
For this dilapidated building, Elvis had clearer memories than Ji Yuhuai.
The once-destroyed rebel base camp was also the place where he confronted Ji Yuhuai last time, and finally "dead" and injured the other, and took him away by himself.
As if it was a joke of fate, Ji Yuhuai's escape this time brought him back to the place they had experienced...
More than half an hour passed quickly.
Elvis, who was lying on the spot pretending to be unconscious, remained in his original state, almost motionless.
Until he heard the footsteps that were slightly heavier than before.
——Ji Yu came back with a handful of dry branches and dead leaves in his arms.
Elvis still closed his eyes, but his breathing stopped for an instant.
Immediately, he clearly heard that Ji Yuhuai, who was carrying a bunch of things, came back to him, put those dead branches and fallen leaves beside him, fiddled with them for a while, and then quickly lit a fire.
The place where they fell happened to be a shelter from the wind, and the flames burned fairly steadily. With the soft sound of peeling and peeling from the branch combustion chamber, the heat quickly dissipated.
The night and the chill are dispelled by the firelight.
After Ji Yuhuai built a fire with branches, he turned around quickly and reached out to touch Elvis' forehead.
Perhaps it was because of picking up the branches that Ji Yuhuai's fingers had different subtle and rough marks. Feeling the scratches between him, the rhythm of Elvis' breathing became chaotic for an instant.
But soon, Ji Yuhuai withdrew his hand again.
Elvis could clearly hear that the people around him fiddled with something again, and after a while, the moist juice with a bit of plant bitterness was gently placed on his lips by Ji Yuhuai .
—He was feeding himself water.
Perhaps because he was not sure whether the nearby water source was safe, he specially selected some common safe plants, crushed them, and fed him the water stored in the roots of the plants.
Elvis' mood was ups and downs for a while, it was hard to describe.
When he fell before, because he was protecting Ji Yuhuai, he used his body to bear most of the impact damage.
However, those impacts were enough to break Ji Yuhuai's body to pieces, and for Elvis, those impacts only left some scratches at most.
What's more, even the current fever and pretending to be in a coma are all intentional by Elvis.
Ji Yuhuai didn't leave him alone, so Elvis' originally suppressed hostility and anger disappeared silently in an instant.
Ji Yuhuai's careful care of him, which Ji Yuhuai had never shown at this time, made Elvis even have the urge not to break the peace...
As for Ji Yuhuai, although the original plan was completely disrupted by Elvis, Ji Yuhuai thought that their luck was not bad.
Even though the place where they fell was too humid, it can be clearly seen from the position upstream of the stream that it should be autumn here, the air is relatively dry, but not too cold, the moisture in the vegetation has been greatly reduced, and there are fallen leaves and trees all over the ground The branches can be directly used to burn for heating.
With water and vegetation, there will naturally be fresh food.
Coupled with the small amount of compressed nutrient solution and water carried by Ji Yuhuai, they will not face serious survival difficulties in a short period of time.
After a while, Elvis clearly heard that after Ji Yuhuai finished taking care of himself, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Ji Yuhuai never liked to owe others, but was forced to owe Elvis every time.
"Obviously this guy is asking for trouble."
Ji Yuhuai couldn't help feeling resentful, but it was impossible to really leave this guy where he was.
In particular, it was obvious that he was injured so badly because he was protecting himself...
Elvis finally couldn't bear to open his eyes.
Ji Yuhuai just didn't stare at him at this meeting, but took a branch casually, and carelessly pulled the still burning fire.
His side face is exquisite, and under the reflection of the fire, it looks more and more delicate and ice-white. His slightly lowered eyebrows and eyes are fixed in front of him, and there is an indescribable tranquility and movingness.
It was as if the current embarrassing situation had never brought him any trouble.
Elvis: "You—"
Ji Yuhuai immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, his eyes widened slightly, "You're awake."
Elvis stared at him with complicated eyes for a while, thinking of Ji Yuhuai's gentleness when he treated the "comatose" self just now, he was suddenly blessed, and immediately turned his face away with difficulty, his voice also seemed muffled, low and hoarse, With some grievances and temper tantrums, "You go, leave me alone."
Ji Yuhuai didn't answer right away.
Elvis, who turned his face away, looked at the magnified figures of himself and Ji Yuhuai who were projected together away from the direction of the fire, and began to feel anxious again in his heart.
He won't, let's just leave...
After all, the words were spoken by himself, so even if he left, it was reasonable.
The next moment, to Elvis' surprise, Ji Yuhuai stretched out his hand directly and turned his face away.
His strength was not strong, compared to Elvis' own strength, the palm that was trying to exert force on his cheek even just felt slightly cool and soft to the touch.
Elvis sighed again when he heard that Ji Yuhuai seemed a little resentful, and said in a more depressed tone than him: "If you say this right now, I will really leave, but now, how can I leave you alone?"
Elvis slightly opened his eyes wide in shock.
In an instant, Elvis had made up his mind to pay attention, moved his fingers hidden behind his back quietly, and put away the emergency communicator on his body.
——This thing has its own positioning function, and the rescue starship of the Imperial Army will be able to find it sooner or later, but Elvis clearly realizes at this moment that what he needs most is not rescue, but a miserable sell with tears in his eyes .
It's night now, Ji Yuhuai naturally won't continue to look for food, everything has to wait until dawn.
However, Elvis woke up so quickly, which made him feel a little relieved.
While feeding him water meticulously, Ji Yuhuai said softly: "You seem to have a low fever, do you have the strength to eat something?"
Elvis immediately shook his head resolutely and weakly, his lips even trembled slightly before speaking.
Ji Yuhuai: "Go to sleep for a while, it's night now, let's go around tomorrow to check the terrain and the situation."
Elvis nodded silently, as a response.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After Ji Yuhuai also fell asleep drowsily on the dry ground covered with fallen leaves, Elvis, who was sleeping next to him, opened his eyes again Bright eyes.
He moved Ji Yuhuai gently and carefully to his side, and his eyes, which were still not affected in the night, fell on Ji Yuhuai's peaceful sleeping face without blinking.
He couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently touched the other's soft cheek, and his mood became happier.
In the next few days, Elvis spent almost all his thoughts on pretending to be sick and selling misery.
The body temperature fluctuates from low to high, and his face is always sluggish and lacking energy. Even when eating, there is a bit of sickness that is difficult to swallow.
As for Ji Yuhuai, he showed extremely rich survival skills in the wild.
Fishing fish from the river, picking fruits in the forest, cooking on the slate on the fire, and dragging Elvis, the pretended half-remnant, along the way.
Elvis, who has never been taken care of so carefully by Ji Yuhuai: "..."
After working hard for a few days, seeing Ji Yuhuai busy all the time, Elvis finally couldn't bear it anymore, pretended that his body had recovered, and then followed Ji Yuhuai silently, taking on hunting and collecting food with all his strength. all jobs.
Ji Yuhuai couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead, "Are you okay?"
Elvis held Ji Yuhuai's wrist directly and lightly, looked at him fixedly, shook his head slightly, "It's ready."
Seeing this, Ji Yuhuai just gave a soft "hmm" without saying anything, turned around and continued to grill fish by the fire.
Elvis still held on to his wrist, his Adam's apple moved, and finally said in a low voice: "Let's join hands, I'll help you clean up the traitors in the rebel army."
Ji Yuhuai temporarily stopped grilling the fish, "That's the one who helped you back then."
Compared with the Xingyao Empire and the Human Federation, the sphere of influence of the rebel army is still very weak.The place where the rebel army is active is originally on the fringes of many interstellar societies that are regarded as barren stars.
Only there, there will be the lowest-level miners, scavengers, and even trade and slaves that seem to be incompatible with the interstellar era...
Elvis vetoed it flatly: "No, the information about the rebel army was sent through other channels. The rebel army on those remote planets violated the interests of many nobles."
Ji Yuhuai looked at the grilled fish and nodded, "OK."
Elvis: "When do we get out of here?"
Ji Yuhuai was silent for a while, "When did you get in touch with the imperial military?"
Elvis's heart skipped a beat, he didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked softly, "When do you plan to leave here?"
Ji Yuhuai turned to look at him, "Isn't it up to you?"
Elvis: "..."
While Ji Yuhuai was not paying attention, Elvis silently sent another message, "Come back in a few days."
The artificial intelligence Phil, who was gearing up on the spaceship to meet Elvis, and several of Elvis' confidantes in the military: "..."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, "His Royal Highness said before that he wanted to check the base camp of the rebel army again, and now he is indeed there, but why not let us help the search together, it will be more efficient."
Phil vowed: "You humans do have such a theory in psychology. The most effective way to hold a person is to continuously increase the cost that the other party pays. Then, it will be difficult for him to let go of you who have paid so much so far. gone."
Military confidant: "...???" What the hell?
Phil glanced at the group of guys. Although he didn't respond clearly, looking at their subtle eyes, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
Phil, who felt that he had grasped the truth, said deeply: "You don't understand."
The military confidant: "My dear, do you have a virus, do you need to kill the virus?"
Phil quickly said: "His Royal Highness Elvis is with Ji Yuhuai!"
Military confidant: "..."
After a long time, someone couldn't help but said in a low voice, "Won't the situation get worse?"
Phil has an optimism that humans don't have, and said briskly: "Maybe, they have settled their differences there!"
Having said that, Phil still bit the bullet and sent another message to Elvis.
"The original Ji Yuhuai's body had symptoms of multi-organ failure due to unknown reasons. Due to the failure of rescue, it has been frozen..."
·
Ji Yuhuai, who had spent several days in the dilapidated base camp of the rebel army, still had a calm expression on the grilled fish over the fire.
Elvis beside him kept looking at him, and after a while, he couldn't help leaning over and sitting with Ji Yuhuai.
Ji Yuhuai didn't turn his head to look at him, but his body didn't dodge either.
The temperature of another person came from the side. In this quiet and dilapidated building that has long been eroded by vegetation, there is a sense of reassurance.
Elvis looked at him, just at this moment, he inadvertently glanced at the message sent by Phil, and his breathing was stagnant.
Ji Yuhuai keenly noticed this difference, and suddenly asked coldly: "What's wrong?"
Elvis hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth.
For a while, the expression on Ji Yuhuai's face was also a little stunned, and in the end, it still fell on a little stunned.
Elvis suddenly realized the problem, and said directly: "Your memory recovered?"
Ji Yuhuai was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Elvis' mood at this time was mixed, "Yes, when?"
Ji Yuhuai said softly: "In the past few days, when I was here, I gradually recovered."
Elvis was a little dazed, and then suddenly realized: "At the beginning, you deliberately stayed here to lure the enemy deep, because, at that time, the rebel army had already mastered the method of transferring human memory?"
Ji Yuhuai shook his head, "This is a completely immature technology. There were traitors in the rebel army at that time, and the imperial military was watching. We have no time to investigate."
After a pause, Ji Yuhuai said softly: "In the eyes of many people, the rebel army is nothing but a mob. I am the one they want to take revenge on. As long as I stay, the vitality of the rebel army can be preserved."
As for the fact that Elvis, the crown prince of the Star Empire, was dragged into the water, it was a complete surprise...
Elvis' tone was subtle, "...I can't just sit back and watch you die here."
Ji Yuhuai told a cold joke, "Then you took my body away."
Elvis retorted subconsciously: "That's not a corpse."
Ji Yuhuai said casually, "It's all the same."
There was another moment of silence, as both sides were digesting the information in it.
Elvis said again: "Even if the technology was immature at that time, your clone should appear next to the part of the living force preserved by the rebel army, right? The Song family of the Human Federation?"
Ji Yuhuai pondered for a while, but shook his head, "No, I think it's just an accident."
Elvis repeated: "Accident?"
Ji Yuhuai pointed to himself, "This should be a clone lost for some reason."
As for this "story", now it seems that the reason has become clear-while Ji Yuhuai's body cannot be obtained, a clone whose genes are stable enough to be almost comparable to the stable genes of ancient humans will naturally have other clones. People with a purpose move their hands.
Moreover, human cloning, which is expressly prohibited in the interstellar society due to numerous ethical issues, has never disappeared secretly.
Perhaps, even the traitors of the rebel army at that time did not expect that things would turn a corner and develop all the way towards such an unexpected line of defense.
Elvis once investigated the Song family where Ji Yuhuai's body is now, and immediately said: "The Song family is completely upstart in the Human Alliance, and the Song family may not even know about the matter behind this clone. "
Ji Yuhuai nodded, "It should be Song Jinhe's original wife. She kept the clone in the nursing home under the guise of her own child."
If Ji Yuhuai hadn't woken up by chance, this clone would have remained in the nursing home forever, and a person without self-awareness would naturally have no human relationship, and would never arouse suspicion until the other party needed it. ...
Thinking of Ji Yuhuai's experience along the way, Elvis couldn't help being a little startled.
"This is too dangerous..."
Before Ji Yuhuai had time to say casually, "I don't give in when I'm being hunted down", I found that Elvis held his wrist again.
Ji Yuhuai looked at him.
Elvis slowly but could not refuse to pull this hand over, fingers clasped.
He didn't say anything clearly, but the movement and burning in his eyes were extremely clear.
Ji Yuhuai hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We are already on the opposite side."
Elvis retorted quickly this time, "At least now, we have room to join forces, don't we?"
Ji Yuhuai didn't say anything more.
Elvis leaned over directly, and promised in a low voice: "Don't rush to reject me—"
"There are more crises around you than I imagined, but you are still free."
The two men made eye contact.
The firelight next to them swayed slightly, and each other's figures were intertwined with the firelight, intertwined and reflected in the pupils, as if there was nothing else in this world, and all the urgency and anxiety in the heart became stable and complete.
In times of crisis, they still have many opportunities to join forces.
When Ji Yuhuai looked at him, Elvis' eyes were focused and warm.
It seems that it also has the same burning spark as him.
The author has something to say: end of text
The next chapter
However, this time, before leaving the spaceship, most of the energy of the rescue capsule has been consumed.
——In order to prevent being chased by the people on the spaceship, after Ji Yuhuai obtained the control of the spaceship with the copied key, he did not forcibly close the energy field around the spaceship, but increased the level of the protective cover one after another. In this way, almost all the energy on the spacecraft was consumed in a short period of time.

This is a dilapidated building, as if it has experienced some turmoil, most of the things have been removed or damaged, leaving only a messy broken wall, and even moss has begun to grow.

"Obviously this guy is asking for trouble."
Ji Yuhuai couldn't help feeling resentful, but it was impossible to really leave this guy where he was.
In particular, it was obvious that he was injured so badly because he was protecting himself...
Elvis finally couldn't bear to open his eyes.
Ji Yuhuai just didn't stare at him at this meeting, but took a branch casually, and carelessly pulled the still burning fire.
His side face is exquisite, and under the reflection of the fire, it looks more and more delicate and ice-white. His slightly lowered eyebrows and eyes are fixed in front of him, and there is an indescribable tranquility and movingness.
It was as if the current embarrassing situation had never brought him any trouble.
Elvis: "You—"
Ji Yuhuai immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, his eyes widened slightly, "You're awake."
Elvis stared at him with complicated eyes for a while, thinking of Ji Yuhuai's gentleness when he treated the "comatose" self just now, he was suddenly blessed, and immediately turned his face away with difficulty, his voice also seemed muffled, low and hoarse, With some grievances and temper tantrums, "You go, leave me alone."
Ji Yuhuai didn't answer right away.
Elvis, who turned his face away, looked at the magnified figures of himself and Ji Yuhuai who were projected together away from the direction of the fire, and began to feel anxious again in his heart.
He won't, let's just leave...
After all, the words were spoken by himself, so even if he left, it was reasonable.
The next moment, to Elvis' surprise, Ji Yuhuai stretched out his hand directly and turned his face away.
His strength was not strong, compared to Elvis' own strength, the palm that was trying to exert force on his cheek even just felt slightly cool and soft to the touch.
Elvis sighed again when he heard that Ji Yuhuai seemed a little resentful, and said in a more depressed tone than him: "If you say this right now, I will really leave, but now, how can I leave you alone?"
Elvis slightly opened his eyes wide in shock.
In an instant, Elvis had made up his mind to pay attention, moved his fingers hidden behind his back quietly, and put away the emergency communicator on his body.
——This thing has its own positioning function, and the rescue starship of the Imperial Army will be able to find it sooner or later, but Elvis clearly realizes at this moment that what he needs most is not rescue, but a miserable sell with tears in his eyes .
It's night now, Ji Yuhuai naturally won't continue to look for food, everything has to wait until dawn.
However, Elvis woke up so quickly, which made him feel a little relieved.
While feeding him water meticulously, Ji Yuhuai said softly: "You seem to have a low fever, do you have the strength to eat something?"
Elvis immediately shook his head resolutely and weakly, his lips even trembled slightly before speaking.
Ji Yuhuai: "Go to sleep for a while, it's night now, let's go around tomorrow to check the terrain and the situation."
Elvis nodded silently, as a response.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After Ji Yuhuai also fell asleep drowsily on the dry ground covered with fallen leaves, Elvis, who was sleeping next to him, opened his eyes again Bright eyes.
He moved Ji Yuhuai gently and carefully to his side, and his eyes, which were still not affected in the night, fell on Ji Yuhuai's peaceful sleeping face without blinking.
He couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently touched the other's soft cheek, and his mood became happier.
In the next few days, Elvis spent almost all his thoughts on pretending to be sick and selling misery.
The body temperature fluctuates from low to high, and his face is always sluggish and lacking energy. Even when eating, there is a bit of sickness that is difficult to swallow.
As for Ji Yuhuai, he showed extremely rich survival skills in the wild.
Fishing fish from the river, picking fruits in the forest, cooking on the slate on the fire, and dragging Elvis, the pretended half-remnant, along the way.
Elvis, who has never been taken care of so carefully by Ji Yuhuai: "..."
After working hard for a few days, seeing Ji Yuhuai busy all the time, Elvis finally couldn't bear it anymore, pretended that his body had recovered, and then followed Ji Yuhuai silently, taking on hunting and collecting food with all his strength. all jobs.
Ji Yuhuai couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead, "Are you okay?"
Elvis held Ji Yuhuai's wrist directly and lightly, looked at him fixedly, shook his head slightly, "It's ready."
Seeing this, Ji Yuhuai just gave a soft "hmm" without saying anything, turned around and continued to grill fish by the fire.
Elvis still held on to his wrist, his Adam's apple moved, and finally said in a low voice: "Let's join hands, I'll help you clean up the traitors in the rebel army."
Ji Yuhuai temporarily stopped grilling the fish, "That's the one who helped you back then."
Compared with the Xingyao Empire and the Human Federation, the sphere of influence of the rebel army is still very weak.The place where the rebel army is active is originally on the fringes of many interstellar societies that are regarded as barren stars.
Only there, there will be the lowest-level miners, scavengers, and even trade and slaves that seem to be incompatible with the interstellar era...
Elvis vetoed it flatly: "No, the information about the rebel army was sent through other channels. The rebel army on those remote planets violated the interests of many nobles."
Ji Yuhuai looked at the grilled fish and nodded, "OK."
Elvis: "When do we get out of here?"
Ji Yuhuai was silent for a while, "When did you get in touch with the imperial military?"
Elvis's heart skipped a beat, he didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked softly, "When do you plan to leave here?"
Ji Yuhuai turned to look at him, "Isn't it up to you?"
Elvis: "..."
While Ji Yuhuai was not paying attention, Elvis silently sent another message, "Come back in a few days."
The artificial intelligence Phil, who was gearing up on the spaceship to meet Elvis, and several of Elvis' confidantes in the military: "..."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, "His Royal Highness said before that he wanted to check the base camp of the rebel army again, and now he is indeed there, but why not let us help the search together, it will be more efficient."
Phil vowed: "You humans do have such a theory in psychology. The most effective way to hold a person is to continuously increase the cost that the other party pays. Then, it will be difficult for him to let go of you who have paid so much so far. gone."
Military confidant: "...???" What the hell?
Phil glanced at the group of guys. Although he didn't respond clearly, looking at their subtle eyes, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
Phil, who felt that he had grasped the truth, said deeply: "You don't understand."
The military confidant: "My dear, do you have a virus, do you need to kill the virus?"
Phil quickly said: "His Royal Highness Elvis is with Ji Yuhuai!"
Military confidant: "..."
After a long time, someone couldn't help but said in a low voice, "Won't the situation get worse?"
Phil has an optimism that humans don't have, and said briskly: "Maybe, they have settled their differences there!"
Having said that, Phil still bit the bullet and sent another message to Elvis.
"The original Ji Yuhuai's body had symptoms of multi-organ failure due to unknown reasons. Due to the failure of rescue, it has been frozen..."
·
Ji Yuhuai, who had spent several days in the dilapidated base camp of the rebel army, still had a calm expression on the grilled fish over the fire.
Elvis beside him kept looking at him, and after a while, he couldn't help leaning over and sitting with Ji Yuhuai.
Ji Yuhuai didn't turn his head to look at him, but his body didn't dodge either.
The temperature of another person came from the side. In this quiet and dilapidated building that has long been eroded by vegetation, there is a sense of reassurance.
Elvis looked at him, just at this moment, he inadvertently glanced at the message sent by Phil, and his breathing was stagnant.
Ji Yuhuai keenly noticed this difference, and suddenly asked coldly: "What's wrong?"
Elvis hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth.
For a while, the expression on Ji Yuhuai's face was also a little stunned, and in the end, it still fell on a little stunned.
Elvis suddenly realized the problem, and said directly: "Your memory recovered?"
Ji Yuhuai was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Elvis' mood at this time was mixed, "Yes, when?"
Ji Yuhuai said softly: "In the past few days, when I was here, I gradually recovered."
Elvis was a little dazed, and then suddenly realized: "At the beginning, you deliberately stayed here to lure the enemy deep, because, at that time, the rebel army had already mastered the method of transferring human memory?"
Ji Yuhuai shook his head, "This is a completely immature technology. There were traitors in the rebel army at that time, and the imperial military was watching. We have no time to investigate."
After a pause, Ji Yuhuai said softly: "In the eyes of many people, the rebel army is nothing but a mob. I am the one they want to take revenge on. As long as I stay, the vitality of the rebel army can be preserved."
As for the fact that Elvis, the crown prince of the Star Empire, was dragged into the water, it was a complete surprise...
Elvis' tone was subtle, "...I can't just sit back and watch you die here."
Ji Yuhuai told a cold joke, "Then you took my body away."
Elvis retorted subconsciously: "That's not a corpse."
Ji Yuhuai said casually, "It's all the same."
There was another moment of silence, as both sides were digesting the information in it.
Elvis said again: "Even if the technology was immature at that time, your clone should appear next to the part of the living force preserved by the rebel army, right? The Song family of the Human Federation?"
Ji Yuhuai pondered for a while, but shook his head, "No, I think it's just an accident."
Elvis repeated: "Accident?"
Ji Yuhuai pointed to himself, "This should be a clone lost for some reason."
As for this "story", now it seems that the reason has become clear-while Ji Yuhuai's body cannot be obtained, a clone whose genes are stable enough to be almost comparable to the stable genes of ancient humans will naturally have other clones. People with a purpose move their hands.
Moreover, human cloning, which is expressly prohibited in the interstellar society due to numerous ethical issues, has never disappeared secretly.
Perhaps, even the traitors of the rebel army at that time did not expect that things would turn a corner and develop all the way towards such an unexpected line of defense.
Elvis once investigated the Song family where Ji Yuhuai's body is now, and immediately said: "The Song family is completely upstart in the Human Alliance, and the Song family may not even know about the matter behind this clone. "
Ji Yuhuai nodded, "It should be Song Jinhe's original wife. She kept the clone in the nursing home under the guise of her own child."
If Ji Yuhuai hadn't woken up by chance, this clone would have remained in the nursing home forever, and a person without self-awareness would naturally have no human relationship, and would never arouse suspicion until the other party needed it. ...
Thinking of Ji Yuhuai's experience along the way, Elvis couldn't help being a little startled.
"This is too dangerous..."
Before Ji Yuhuai had time to say casually, "I don't give in when I'm being hunted down", I found that Elvis held his wrist again.
Ji Yuhuai looked at him.
Elvis slowly but could not refuse to pull this hand over, fingers clasped.
He didn't say anything clearly, but the movement and burning in his eyes were extremely clear.
Ji Yuhuai hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We are already on the opposite side."
Elvis retorted quickly this time, "At least now, we have room to join forces, don't we?"
Ji Yuhuai didn't say anything more.
Elvis leaned over directly, and promised in a low voice: "Don't rush to reject me—"
"There are more crises around you than I imagined, but you are still free."
The two men made eye contact.
The firelight next to them swayed slightly, and each other's figures were intertwined with the firelight, intertwined and reflected in the pupils, as if there was nothing else in this world, and all the urgency and anxiety in the heart became stable and complete.
In times of crisis, they still have many opportunities to join forces.
When Ji Yuhuai looked at him, Elvis' eyes were focused and warm.
It seems that it also has the same burning spark as him.
