Chapter 228 Extra Seven
After hearing the broadcast, Lan stood up and took Lu Ming to the captain's cabin on the top of the spacecraft, asking her to wait there while he went to bring Carl over.
Lu Ming became nervous in an instant, her mind in a mess, and she was desperately trying to figure out how to make this real-life version of Gu Chao believe her words.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of any solution.
She still doesn't know why Gu Chao liked her when she was useless back then.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard footsteps.
She suddenly raised her head and saw Lan walking in first. Then she turned around and waited at the side of the cabin door, looking outside.
A few seconds later, Carl also walked in.
Behind him, the silver-white hatch slowly closed. Lan gestured to him, inviting him to take a seat first.
The captain's cabin is not large, with a maximum capacity of 22 people. There are 6 seats in 3 rows in the middle, and 4 seats in each row at the far end.
Each seat is white and specially designed to change shape so that passengers will not feel too tired during long rides.
Lu Ming was sitting in the first row in the middle, and Karl saw her the first time he walked in.
The little girl glanced at him nervously and expectantly, her hands fiddling with her blue uniform nervously, and her anticipation for him to sit next to her was almost overflowing from her dark almond-shaped eyes.
So he stared at her and walked towards her step by step.
Lu Ming watched him slowly approaching him, his heart beating faster and faster, his hands unconsciously clasped together, he didn't dare to look directly into his eagle-like eyes, but only looked at the red uniform boots on his feet.
He stopped at her row!
Lu Ming's breathing stopped and he was filled with joy.
Is he going to sit down?
Did he remember something?
What is she going to say next?
However......
The pair of feet paused for a moment, then picked up the pace and walked behind her.
Luming:!!!
All her expressions and mental activities were frozen.
Carl walked straight to the last row in the middle and sat diagonally behind Lu Ming.
A subtle, malicious smile appeared on his face as he admired the little girl's stiff posture and slightly lowered head.
Lu Ming felt a wave of disappointment welling up in her, making her eyes hot. She didn't recover until Lan came over and sat next to her.
But she tried hard to hold back her passion, not wanting to cry here and appear so vulnerable.
Lan saw it, but he was a little puzzled by Lu Ming's sudden sadness.
Although he is very human in some aspects, he is currently unable to recognize, let alone empathize with, feelings that are too complex and subtle.
So he saw that Lu Ming was in a bad mood, and said nothing, but just patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't been comforted, but once someone comforted her, Lu Ming couldn't stop feeling wronged, and two tears rolled down silently.
At this angle, Karl couldn’t see her face. He could only see her body slowly leaning back and gently leaning on the back of the chair. She didn’t seem to have any other reaction. Then he felt a little bored, so he crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat.
He thought to himself, even if they knew each other before, that wasn't the real him, otherwise, how could he fall in love with such a weak and fragile girl who looked like she hadn't grown up yet?
But he suddenly realized that his behavior just now was too childish, so he immediately put away his expression, returned to his cold look, and secretly despised himself.
Could it be that after no longer having to run around and fight, I suddenly feel a little overwhelmed?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the backs of Lu Ming and Lan, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There are two of them, one is the captain and the other is a bit like a butler, so what about him?
Perhaps, on this spaceship, in the rest of his life, war will never happen again.
No matter how unwilling and unfair he felt, those who were responsible for these things had disappeared.
So, what should he do in the days to come?
What can he do?
---------
The spacecraft traveled at full speed for fifteen hours before approaching the target.
This includes twenty-one quantum leaps.
However, surprisingly, the two people in front who looked extremely thin were sitting as steady as a rock, without any reaction at all.
In the back row, the strong and healthy Carl felt extremely uncomfortable.
Especially when jumping, the feeling is like being thrown into a washing machine at an extremely high speed, rolling and shaking up and down, left and right, back and forth, plus the occasional sense of oppression that turns the whole person into a sandwich. This feeling is simply indescribable in words.
Carl: ...
Carl: ???
Seriously, is there some kind of special feature on that row of seats?
When the spaceship finally changed from full speed to constant speed, Carl was completely exhausted.
But thanks to the powerful automatic temperature and humidity control effect of the uniform and his own strong willpower, apart from his pale face, there was no sign of anything wrong with him.
After Lan taught Luming to unbuckle his seatbelt, he turned to Carl and said, "The spaceship has reached a constant speed. Everyone can move freely. Please wait a moment. I will send the captain back to her living room and then return to show you the way."
Karl couldn't say a word, but waved at Lan with a cold face, signaling them to leave quickly.
Lu Ming didn't even look at Carl again, and seemed to want to ignore him no longer.
Karl glanced at her back and felt a little sarcastic in his heart. It seemed that she didn't have deep feelings for the man named "Gu Chao".
Lan nodded and walked out of the cabin with Luming.
Karl exhaled silently and leaned back in his chair to rest.
Not long after, Lan came back and took him back to the upper level of the observation deck.
This floor is a lounge exclusively for tourists. It is larger than the lounge for ship staff, has more complete functions, and is in very good condition.
The door of the lounge finally no longer opens up and down, but extends left and right. There is also a window on the door, through which you can see outside, but you cannot see inside from outside.
Lan didn't say much, just told him that all daily necessities were in the room, and if he needed food, he could press the bell and the food would be automatically delivered to the room.
However, Lan also emphasized that except for this floor and the next floor, other places are not open to him for the time being, so he should not run around.
Karl looked at him expressionlessly, without answering, but walked into the room and closed the door.
Lan raised an eyebrow at the door and turned away.
Carl in the room was in no mood to appreciate the various novel decorations in the large room. He sat down on a chair in a somewhat decadent manner, folded his arms and leaned against the wall behind him.
If he wasn't in space now, he would have run away long ago.
And now, he was trapped on this spaceship like a prisoner.
Moreover, he couldn't figure out who froze him after his death?
What is the purpose?
Anyway, he didn't want to have the opportunity to start over at all.
If it were wartime, he could still fight a few more battles, but now...
meaningless.
