[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"I don't know what you guys think! But I think we need Alex!!!" Clint said as he shot an arrow behind him, and the screaming monster was rushing towards him with its tentacles stretched out, "This is definitely a His domain!!!"

"Ah...Alex. Maybe he will laugh when he sees this." Steve said softly, and then he threw the shield out and hit a monster in the head, and then caught the fly The shield that came back, "But for us, this situation is too tricky!"

"'This level of food is not enough for me to eat for the next week.' That's what he would probably say... Can he really eat this disgusting monster?" Clint thought about unimportant things, Then he took out the last blasting arrow, and after taking a step back, he hit the wall. Turning around a little, he saw the sign written on the bulkhead, cryogenic dormancy area D, this is here.Thinking of this, Clint put away the blasting arrow and took out another arrow, "Thor, how about we cooperate?"

"Of course, my friend."

"As soon as I release the arrow, you just release the lightning, and then Captain, the door behind will be handed over to you!" The arrow in Clint's hand had already left the bowstring during the speech!The location where the bow and arrow are aiming is not the monsters that are rushing but the ground!The moment the arrow touched the ground, a flammable liquid was ejected from it, and at the same time Thor's lightning had been summoned from the void!The flames brought by the lightning ignited the entire channel as if it were alive!It was like a burning giant snake swallowed those monsters into its stomach! !

"Goodbye, little monsters, don't forget that the Avengers sent you to hell."

Douglas thought he was having a long, long dream.It was so long that he couldn't quite remember what happened.Spartans don't have very long dreams, because they don't sleep very long each time - and they don't.If you don't count the time in the low-temperature dormancy chamber, their 'true sleep' will not be too long each time.In the low-temperature hibernation chamber, there is generally no dreaming, it is just a blink of an eye, you enter it, and then when you come back to your senses, months or years have passed.But this time, this time Douglas felt something was wrong.

Because it's been too long, too long.He had a very long dream.That dream included his mother, whose face and voice he could not remember clearly, a little bit of normal life before he was six years old, and then what happened in the Reach Star training camp immediately after.Yeah...it was all about that time.First of all, I am a member of the red team, and the red team includes myself, Alice, Jerome, Joshua, Fred, Linda...Anton, Lee, Isaac...and some others , but the team is not fixed, basically only these fixed people.

They are all their friends.It's a friend.It's just that there are always fights.Fred was the best of them all.Obviously he is not the strongest one, but he is the fastest, the most agile, and the most rational.He can always come up with a good way of fighting.Douglas thinks that if anyone can compare to Fred, in terms of overall level - no.All 74 of them... no, not one of all 33 of them.But from a single point of view, Kylie of the blue team ran faster than everyone else. Douglas had seen that speed before, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't catch up at all. Al was better than Fred.He's the best one - it would be even better if he could learn to keep his mouth shut.

They have a captain.Not a single captain, but... all 74 of them, yes, the captain of the 74 as a whole.His name was John, and people always called him Master Chief afterward.He was quiet and competitive, and several times Douglas saw Fred half dead with him.But everyone trusts him and is willing to follow him.The scene that Douglas remembers most clearly is in that huge mess hall, all 74 of them sitting together, and Sergeant Mendez is away, so they can relax a little bit.

Douglas saw that Kelly was stealing John's cookies, and then John took Sam's pudding beside him, and then Sam clamped his neck, Fred watched the fun at the next table, and was asked Ya called to chat, Linda sat quietly on the side, opposite her was Grace, they were always so quiet.Everyone, everyone is happy.But Douglas looked at them without knowing why his heart ached.It was painful, very... painful.He didn't know why.

Victor and Margaret of the Black Team are on good terms—too good to be true.Not even the blind can see it.But everyone didn't care about that, and neither did Douglas.No matter what happens to their immediate relationship, one thing will not change - they are brother and sister.Even if there is no blood bond, they are more than the fragile blood and promise between all other people.Douglas looked at his companions, he also had companions, Jerome, Alice, Naomi—by the way, Naomi is fierce—and others, red team, blue team, green team, black team, The gray team...all of them are their most important companions.

But why is it so painful?It hurts, why is that?Are you hurt?No... Douglas, Douglas, what are you grieving for?He looked back at the bright and spacious cafeteria, and then everything disappeared.nothing.No one is there anymore.Why?Where has everyone gone?Why are you alone?Why……

"Don't give up, kids, we'll be home when you wake up."

Captain Carter's voice suddenly sounded, and then the bright mess hall became the engine room of the Spirit of Fire. By the way, I, Jerome, and Alice were on a mission on the Spirit of Fire. The Covenant came, and Harvest Star fell. Well, they followed the Covenant ship to a place full of disgusting and annoying parasitic monsters, and Captain Carter blew up the place with hyperdrive, but then...

"It could be decades before we get back to the nearest outlying colonies."

"How many years are decades?"

"I don't know the captain, I don't even know where we are."

The conversation between Captain Carter and Serena was heard by his own, but Captain Carter was not angry, he turned around and looked at Douglas, he said: "It's okay, kid, when you wake up, we will be home. "

Douglas didn't know if he could still wake up. Every time he woke up from the cryogenic chamber, he would look through the list of dead and missing persons.He'd open the column for the Spartans and check everyone's name.It's just that every time he opens it, there will be some people whose names say 'missing in mission'.Jerome said the UNSC would never write 'Killed' after a Spartan's name.Because if the Spartans died, the hit to morale would be too great.In other words, 'missing in mission' means 'killed'.Douglas wished that Jerome hadn't told him about it, he didn't want to know, he just hoped that those companions had really just 'disappeared', that they'd come back or... were still alive somewhere in the universe.

"Captain...he looks as if he's dead..."

What?Whose voice is this?Douglas heard the voice of a stranger, the man, he didn't know him, he wasn't his companion, it seemed... not from the boat, not Serena, who was it?Enemy?

"It is said that I was also unconscious for a while when I was dug out, let's wait...how about the other two?"

"It seems to be dead... But one of them is a girl, she looks pretty pretty?"

Alice?Wait, who are you guys?Alice...Douglas struggled to regain consciousness, there were strangers around, possibly enemies, they seemed to have found Alice, to stand up, to stand up, to wake up—

"Ah, awake? Great, I'm—"

Douglas jumped up from the ground. Although he felt the piercing pain all over his body at that moment, and he still couldn't see clearly, he was able to know the enemy's position through the sound. He rushed towards the direction of the sound, and then moved The man was crushed to the ground, he felt as if his hand had touched a very hard object, he couldn't care less, he tried hard to see the enemy's face clearly, who it was, who——

"What...?" Human?Douglas thought it was a Covenant or something infected, but was it a normal human?His eyes widened in surprise and at this moment he found that a bow and arrow had been pointed at the tip of his nose, and the helmet was gone...?

"Calm down, man. We're here to save you."

"You...what the hell are you...I..."

Douglas didn't understand what happened. Is this the Spirit of Fire?But why... no lights?Where do these people come from?No military uniform, strange equipment... what the hell happened?By the way, Alice!Alice and Jerome!how are they !

"Don't worry, your friends are fine."

The man who had just been overwhelmed by himself sat up from the ground, holding a very distinctive shield in his hand. Douglas seemed to have seen that pattern somewhere, but couldn't remember it.

"Maybe it will take a while before I wake up." Steve sat on the ground and touched the back of his head. It was really annoying just now. This kid is so fast and has great strength. If he didn't block it with a shield, he might be finished. "Don't worry, we're here to help you."

"I don't understand..." Douglas finally fell into a daze now. He was in pain everywhere, and he couldn't stand up. After sitting on the ground, he realized that this is a low-temperature dormancy zone, and his dormancy chamber was opened. The two neighbors are the same, this area only has the dormant cabin of the Spartans, "Why... the Spirit of Fire... has it reached the colony yet?"

"Sorry kid, not yet." Steve shook his head. "That's one of the things we have to figure out if we want to survive, but let's all take a break. What's your name?"

"I am... I am SPARTAN 042, Douglas..."

"Yes, Douglas... My name is Steve Rogers. And this is Clint Barton."

"Hey, Douglas, you're pretty good at knocking the captain down!" Clint greeted Douglas.

"And this one...although it's a bit complicated, his name is Thor."

"Hello, warrior in the atrium." Thor also greeted.And Douglas still can't take his eyes off Thor, this guy is weird...is he wearing a costume?And what is the atrium...?

"You...you are not the crew of the Spirit of Fire." Douglas finally discovered a very critical question, he said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"That question would probably require a quantum physicist to answer, but unfortunately there isn't one here," Clint said. "We got here in the blink of an eye, to be precise. No offense, but your Spirit of Fire is hell ah."

"I just remember we lost the hyperdrive, and then...how many years did we sleep?"

"Hmm...maybe it's hard for you to accept, but...it seems to be 21 years."

"21 years?!" Longer than Douglas imagined.What about the war?What about the Covenant?No... my companions, are they all okay?And, "If... if you don't get the others out of the hibernation pod they will..."

"Douglas...they are dead." Serena's voice sounded again, this time she was calm and indifferent, "Douglas, wake up your friends. I will take you home."

"Serena? Captain... Where's Captain Carter?"

"..." Serena didn't answer, she said, "Steve, you need to get out of here quickly. Zerg, you're awake."

"But how do you leave Serena?"

"There's a Pelican, it's still flyable. It's in the engine room. You're going there." Serena replied, "But no space jump, you're far from the Far Colony unless you can signal .But the communicator on the ship can't send out that far away... You, you may still die."

"No, Serena... What if I said we have a receiver that picks up the signal?" Steve remembered the Avengers card, which could pick up the signal, "Can you make it send out the signal too?"

"Impossible. How could it be possible to receive a signal? This place is still very far away from the known star field... How did you do it?!"

"Uh, what seems to be...quantum entanglement?"

"Quantum Entanglement!! Genius!!" Serena yelled suddenly, and she said, "Yes Serena, it's time for you to think, even if thinking will kill you! But it's time!! Shi Tiff! Go to the cabin now!!"

"Okay, everyone heard, Douglas, I think it would be better for you to wake up your friends? Also, welcome to the senior group."

"what?"

"Oh Captain...you are enough!"
