Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Lin Han saw himself at this moment in He Yunting's eyes.

Both disheveled and weak.

—How can it be good to watch, he thought.

But He Yunting's hands were still warm and strong, even though he had consumed much more physical and mental energy than him just now.

Strangely enough, Lin Han didn't feel uncomfortable when he heard such words, nor did he want to let go of the other person's hand.

He Yunting was only wearing a shirt, so he looked relatively neat, but his hair was messy and sweat wet his forehead.

He is also very good looking.

This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Han's mind for no reason.

When this thought came into his mind, his heart suddenly contracted, as if all his strength had been drained away, and as if it was filled with something else.

It feels like walking on endless soft clouds, but I am worried that the next step will be a false step and fall into the abyss of anxiety and loss.

He began to feel that every movement of He Yunting was different. His hands were broad and gave him a sense of security. Even his cold and calm eyes became like the ice-breaking lake in early spring. Every inch of the ground he passed was filled with his tenderness.

Lin Han began to recall the dust nebula he saw that day.

If all the dust in the universe can be traced, then in He Yunting's blue eyes, there may also be the galaxy that he once secretly buried in his heart.

"I'm a little tired." Lin Han raised his eyes to look at him, "Are there any other bugs?"

He Yunting said with certainty: "No more."

Lin Han thought about what he had just said. He clearly wanted He Yunting to help him.

He knew that He Yunting had activated the mecha's post-war self-inspection system, and now they finally had a short break.

He knew that he should wash his face now. It was not a good thing to stay dirty all the time.

But Lin Han suddenly wanted to play around and hooked He Yunting's hand: "Can I take a break for two minutes? Just two minutes."

Without waiting for He Yunting's consent, Lin Han added: "Don't let go of my hand."

Just hold my hand like this, just two minutes.

Lin Han knew that he was not a willful person.

He knew since he was a child that he only had a mother, and the hardship for an omega to raise him alone was unimaginable.

So he was always very sensible, never debated or competed with others, just studied and lived quietly, and only talked to his mother about anything.

He is always the most obedient and outstanding student in school and is the student liked by all teachers.

They all said that Lin Han was "the easiest to troubleshoot."

Never step out of line, never make a mistake.

Sometimes his mother would look at him with a sad and regretful look and say, "Sometimes I really wish Hanhan could be a little more willful."

At that time, he didn't even know the meaning of willfulness, and when he vaguely understood it, the opportunity was gone.

But now he suddenly wanted to be willful to the person in front of him.

It was as if... he finally understood the true meaning of "willfulness".

He wanted to use these boring details to prove that He Yunting would do what he wanted at this moment.

The true meaning of being spoiled and arrogant probably requires someone to be willing to tolerate it.

Lin Han found it a little ridiculous. He had never felt so hypocritical before. Moreover, he could clearly hear what the other person was thinking, but he still felt unsure.

But He Yunting would always obediently approach him every time - just like now.

He never said no to Lin Han, but just said "OK" calmly.

Lin Han closed his eyes, and in these short two minutes, all his tactile cells were magnified more than twice.

Some ideas are gradually becoming clearer, but now is not the time to sit down and sort out my thoughts.

He was really tired, and the moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to fall into a dark dream and just wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

But he could still feel the warmth of He Yunting's palm and the touch of every inch of his skin.

Lin Han has touched these hands too many times. From the initial disbelief to the need to use such a cute little trick now, it has only been a few months.

He was already familiar with the path of the blood vessels in these hands, the location of the calluses, and every inch of the veins.

No matter what, this is his secret and no one can take it away.

Lin Han actually made up for some of his sleepiness in these short two minutes. His thoughts began to wander and he wanted to fall asleep, but he didn't dare.

Half asleep and half awake, when the two minutes were almost over, Lin Han felt He Yunting's other hand move, and finally touched his face lightly and caressed it gently.

[Why is Mr. Lin so cute even like this?] 】

The cute Mr. Lin's cheeks turned red, but luckily his face was already red, so He Yunting couldn't see it.

He exhaled and continued the previous topic.

"I'll go check the specific damage to the mecha." He didn't look at He Yunting, for fear that the other party would notice his unnatural expression at the moment.

He Yunting responded and followed Lin Han. When Lin Han started to work, he also observed the surroundings, opened the interstellar map, and continued to contact the battleship.

Because of Lin Han's joining, the time to resolve the Zerg was faster than expected. If the mecha could now move at full speed, it might be possible to catch up with the battleship and jump back to the empire together.

Lin Han walked to the part that was punctured by the sandworm, combined the remaining energy, calculated it carefully, and told He Yunting.

"The damage is not serious, so we can repair it, but that's not the key issue," Lin Han said. "The fierce battle just now consumed more energy. I calculated that if we start at full speed, it will take about two hours to reach the jump point."

He Yunting listened to him in silence.

"But we must note that going at full speed consumes a lot of energy. We must ensure that we can provide enough energy support after reaching the jump point. Otherwise, there will be no energy at all. In other words, the battleship is still there and the jump point is still there."

“Both are indispensable, and it is futile to satisfy neither.”

After Lin Han finished speaking, he asked He Yunting with some concern: "Have you contacted the warship?"

He saw that He Yunting's communication was lit up red and making a rustling sound.

The other party failed to give him a definite answer.

"Then let me see if I can repair the mecha first." Lin Han did not ask any more questions. "After all, it is damaged now. The outdoor environment is too harsh. It is not a good idea to stay like this for a long time."

"Okay." He Yunting said.

Lin Han walked to the first cockpit and took away the coat that He Yunting used to cover the hole.

As soon as he came into direct contact with the scorching sun and strong wind outside that was like scraping his bones, Lin Han subconsciously dodged.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. After all, this is not in the research institute, and there are no materials on hand. It is still very difficult to repair it to the same state as before the battle.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then compared the damage and began to make a plan.

Lin Han looked at the broken Zerg corpses and broken metal outside through the display screen.

In border areas where resources are extremely scarce, the most important thing is to reach the jump point as quickly as possible.

Before that, I could only fill it up with anything I could find. Lin Han pondered.

At this time, He Yunting's communicator finally lit up, and Lin Han heard Lu Anhe's anxious voice.

"Boss, how are you guys doing? Are you injured?"

The background noise of Lu Anhe was very noisy and he spoke very quickly.

"It's okay. Everything has been resolved." He Yunting replied, "We are preparing to go to the jump point."

Unexpectedly, Lu Anhe reacted excitedly after hearing these three words: "Don't come! Don't come to the jump point!"

Lu Anhe panted and said, "You are right. The jump point has been ambushed by the Zerg a long time ago. There are at least thirty of them here—"

Lin Han stopped what he was doing.

He saw He Yunting's solemn expression and did not interrupt Lu Anhe's speech.

"All the mecha soldiers are out now. The Zerg must have known that we were going to return from this jump point. I wonder how long they have been waiting here!"

"Casualties." He Yunting's tone became increasingly cold.

Lin Han heard Lu Anhe take a deep breath and try to calmly say: "Currently... two of the reserve pilots who came to participate in the exercise have been killed and one has been seriously injured. The others... have not been sorted out yet."

"Where's the omega from before?"

"That's Qi Jiamu's brother. Boss, you didn't kill him with three shots just now. His recovery ability is amazing. Now those holes have almost grown back. After investigation, he has initially acquired some genetic characteristics of the Zerg. But I really don't have time to learn more about him. I can only interrogate him one by one when I return."

"Qi Jiamu has him under control now, and he is no longer causing much impact."

"Yeah." He Yunting said after understanding the basic situation.

He probably knew why Lu Anhe sent him a message during such an intense battle.

Sure enough, the next second Lu Anhe said in a trembling voice: "Now, we plan to use the remaining P-1 nuclear particle beam cannon. We have recalled all pilots who are still able to move. We plan to lead the Zerg to one place. After everyone uses the remaining energy to jump..."

Lu Anhe seemed to be still trying to calm his tone: "... blow up the jump point."

Therefore, the two possibilities raised by Lin Han just now no longer exist. In order for most people to be able to go back, the jump point must disappear along with the Zerg.

The battleship will leave with the last bit of energy, and the jump point that continuously generates energy will eventually become a pile of ruins.

Lu Anhe was silent for a moment, and Lin Han heard the explosions and noise from his side.

"Boss, you and Mr. Lin... don't have to rush over."

He Yunting was calmer than usual: "Got it."

Lu Anhe was still explaining something to He Yunting, including the batches and time of departure of the reinforcements.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. Sometimes He Yunting didn't even need to ask questions, as Lu Anhe could explain them one by one.

"The reinforcements have received the message, but if there are no other Zergs in the future, they will not send warships to pick you up, so the speed will be slower," Lu Anhe said finally, "but it shouldn't be too long, you..."

Lu Anhe was interrupted.

Probably because he re-entered the melee, he didn't finish saying take care.

He Yunting's tone remained unchanged, as if the other party was just reporting a very simple training report.

Lin Han knew that after this communication, the jump point that had existed for a long time would disappear.

To his surprise, he found himself as calm as He Yunting.

Even the current situation is that the two have been temporarily trapped in the border area, with only a damaged m2742 at hand.

There was no telling when the communication would be cut off, and where should they go now? How long could they last if they turned on the lowest energy consumption mode?

He looked silently at the desolation before him.

The sky seemed to gradually darken, and after everything was over, it gradually became peaceful, as if the death and smoke of gunpowder had never existed before.

Lin Han didn't ask any more questions and just continued repairing.

"Mr. Lin." After a while, He Yunting suddenly called him.

Lin Han was still concentrating on how to reduce the mecha's energy consumption as much as possible. When he heard He Yunting's voice, he turned his head and looked over while still immersed in the mecha's system and program: "What's wrong, General?"

He Yunting did not answer immediately, but asked back in a rare move: "Do you still remember the Elinniho Nebula that I told you about before I came here?"

Lin Han nodded without hesitation: "I remember, but I didn't see it when I arrived at the border area. I feel a little regretful."

He said it was a spectacle that could only be seen in the border areas.

"No regrets." He Yunting's way of speaking was still direct and clumsy, but he tried hard to tell Lin Han the fact, "Look up."

Lin Han subconsciously raised his head and saw a gorgeous and romantic purple starry sky that he had never seen before.

"——This is the El Inniho Nebula."
