Chapter 52
"When do we leave?" Lin Han asked with a faint smile.
After hearing what the other party said, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
I should have known this a long time ago, from the moment I decided to follow.
No one on the battleship could take care of themselves, and according to Lu Anhe's information, many people could no longer go back.
Even though he had felt a vague sadness before, he ultimately couldn't help but believe He Yunting.
If he were given the choice again, he would do the same.
He Yunting did not answer directly, but asked him: "Let's wait until tomorrow morning. When the temperature is not so high. Mr. Lin, do you want to rest for a while?"
In fact, without nutritional supplements, it doesn’t make much difference how long you sleep, but Lin Han still has no strength. He just forced himself to eat something, but he still feels extremely sleepy.
But he did not reject He Yunting's proposal. Anyway, everything had been decided and any decision was acceptable. So he might as well have a good sleep.
"Okay." Lin Han nodded.
He was about to take a break, but was afraid that he would scare the little creature again, so Lin Han gently took it off his shoulder and called its name: "Gululu."
Gululu's dark little eyes turned immediately and his moist nose moved forward.
"I need to sleep for a while." Lin Han was afraid that it didn't understand, so he explained, "I closed my eyes just to rest. I won't suddenly ignore you like before."
"Do you understand?" He stroked its little tail.
It seemed to be able to understand human words, but it was always a beat slower. After a while, it finally understood what Lin Han meant. It rolled around in Lin Han's hand to show that it understood.
Lin Han thought about the day when he picked it up. The ground was covered with Zerg corpses and metal fragments, and only this little fur ball rolled over. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you get lost last time?"
Gululu rolled from his left hand to his right hand, and no one knew what it meant.
Lin Han continued, "We may send you home tomorrow. Not just the small sand dune you live on, but your planet."
"Of course, it's possible that we don't have enough energy in the end," Lin Han said calmly, "We are still nearby."
Gululu suddenly reacted and seemed to be excited because some of its fur was trembling with joy.
It looks like it wants to go home too.
Lin Han seemed to be infected by its happiness and gently tapped its nose: "Then we will do our best to send you back. When you go home, you won't have to roll in the sand anymore."
As for him and He Yunting, it might take a long time for them to return to the empire.
Maybe then it's time to say goodbye.
But he didn't tell this to Gululu, after all, little animals also hate separation.
He Yunting came over and handed him his coat.
Some mechas are equipped with hibernation chambers. Since the M2742 has a second cockpit and the pilot himself requested that he did not need a hibernation chamber, the only thing Lin Han can cover himself with is the pilot's coat. He Yunting always closes his eyes for a while and sleeps very lightly, as if he is resting only to cope with his body functions.
"Go to sleep." He Yunting's eyebrows drooped, and his cold eyelashes became less distant because of the action of putting a coat on Lin Han. "Good night."
Lin Han grabbed He Yunting's hand.
He couldn't tell what his motivation was, but he couldn't help it.
Lin Han was a little disappointed that he couldn't hear He Yunting's voice, but he still looked up at him and said, "Good night."
After he saw He Yunting leave the cockpit, he finally fell into a deep sleep.
Gululu lay on his shoulder, as if he was also planning to take a nap.
Therefore, Lin Han didn't know that He Yunting had come back in the end, nor did she know that he held her hand again as before. She was afraid of being discovered, but she still couldn't help but kiss him secretly.
But because he lost his ability to read minds, he had no dreams this night.
-
When Lin Han woke up the next day, he was surprised to find that there seemed to be some conflict between the man and the ball in front of him.
When He Yunting saw that the time had come, he came to wake Lin Han up, but as soon as he opened the cabin door, he woke up Gululu.
He Yunting didn't want to pay attention to it at first, and walked straight past it to call Lin Han, but the ignored little thing finally burst out with dissatisfaction with him, and its fur stood up. It overestimated its own ability and rushed towards He Yunting at its fastest speed.
The next second it was picked up easily.
He Yunting subconsciously used his hand to protect his waist to prevent the little thing from hitting his belt buckle and fainting.
But Gululu obviously didn't appreciate it and bared his teeth at He Yunting in a bluffing manner.
"I'm here to wake Mr. Lin up." He Yunting stated indifferently, his tone was cold and without any emotion.
"Squeak——" Gululu continued to wave his short claws angrily in the air.
He Yunting's expression became even colder. If it were him in the base, it would almost make all the soldiers feel cold all over.
Unfortunately, this was not the base, and the people playing against him were not even humans. They could not comprehend the threat in He Yunting's words, and instead bared their fangs more fiercely: "Squeak!"
He Yunting was too lazy to pay attention to him and even raised his hand a little higher.
He looked at the little guy more and more coldly.
Gululu's claws kicked even harder.
Lin Han, who was faced with such a scene upon waking up, said: "...you guys?"
"squeak--"
Almost at the same moment, He Yunting immediately put down his raised hands and put them behind his back. As soon as he let go, Gululu rolled back to Lin Han, as if he wanted him to make the decision.
Lin Han just found it interesting. He first pursed his fur, then raised his head and greeted He Yunting with a warm smile: "Good morning."
The conflict between one person and one group was resolved.
He Yunting put away the unnatural emotion on his face and said to Lin Han, "We can set off now."
The two of them didn't bring anything with them and could leave at any time. Lin Han rubbed his eyes and nodded: "Okay."
The previous accident was still fresh in his mind, and He Yunting ultimately did not let Lin Han get into the cockpit.
"Mr. Lin, please don't activate the second cockpit," He Yunting said without further explanation, "I am enough."
Lin Han knew that He Yunting had consumed much more physical and mental energy than himself in the past few days, but he finally listened to He Yunting, sat in the driver's seat, put on his helmet, and did not take any other action.
The mecha began to slide and a mechanical female voice sounded.
"M2742, the whole machine self-check is completed, the energy reaction is weak, and the current environment outside the mecha is detected as level D. Please pay attention to protection and choose to open the mecha cabin."
"Open the first cockpit. Close all weapon arsenals."
Although he had made sufficient preparations, Lin Han was still nervous.
He heard the engine starting, saw the desolation gradually moving farther and farther away from him on the display screen, and saw He Yunting's always steady back in the first cockpit.
"Confirm, do you want to shut down all weapons depots including the defense shield?"
"yes."
Gululu started to show signs of mecha sickness again, but luckily Lin Han didn't have to drive it himself this time, so he held the little guy in his hands and gently patted its trembling back.
Lin Han heard He Yunting shut down all the armories and emergency defense programs one by one, leaving only the most basic functions.
"Enable 300% forward speed."
This is almost a life-threatening way, and the set program will naturally remind you again and again.
"The fuselage has insufficient stored energy. Forcibly increasing the speed may lead to various dangers, including functional interruption and complete paralysis of the aircraft. Are you sure?"
Lin Han's back was pressed against the driver's seat, and the scene began to change rapidly until it became blurred due to the fast speed.
The sounds around were all drowned out by the roar of the mecha. Lin Han could not hear anything at this moment. In this desolate place, they were the only ones still trying to survive, with an unfounded gamble -
The sound of air friction was like a sharp knife cutting through. Gululu was already toppling over in his palm, but Lin Han was only looking at the person in front of him.
As the mecha moves forward, time passes by bit by bit and energy is consumed rapidly.
He Yunting had already increased his speed to the fastest and did not tell Lin Han which direction to go, and Lin Han did not ask either, as if the two of them had an absolute tacit understanding in nature.
Lin Han saw the lights on the console start to flash and the numbers constantly light up, and estimated in his mind the remaining time and the distance that could be traveled.
Due to the high speed and the fact that many functions in the mecha were turned off, Lin Han still felt short of breath and dizziness.
He tried to calm himself down and opened his eyes again.
He couldn't fall down again.
Even if he failed in the end, he at least wanted to see with his own eyes where he ended up.
-
The estimated energy consumption was about three hours. During this period, the two had almost no communication. Only He Yunting would occasionally worry about Lin Han's condition and confirm it through the communicator.
When there were only thirty minutes left in the journey, the portholes on all sides suddenly darkened, as if we had entered a different area.
However, He Yunting did not stop; "This is the foggy swamp, we will reach it after crossing it."
Gululu finally fell asleep under Lin Han's comfort. Lin Han responded softly without asking any more questions.
But before m2742 left the area, the mecha suddenly began to shake violently, and the red light of the energy about to be exhausted kept flashing, announcing that their advance was about to reach an end.
But He Yunting had no intention of stopping, and even used more mental energy than before, allowing the mecha to continue to move forward passively and rigidly due to inertia...
"Bang!"
Its front legs were finally forced to stop, and all systems began to shut down. Even the red light was almost going out. Lin Han suppressed the dizziness and slowly stood up from the driver's seat.
"Mr. Lin." He Yunting called him on the communicator.
Lin Han still didn't know what was going on.
Did it fail and ultimately fail to arrive?
"It's all right," he said, "the general has done his best."
He Yunting didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked out of the cockpit and opened the cabin door on Lin Han's side.
He didn't look embarrassed at all, and the high-intensity driving just now didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Come down and take a look."
Lin Han followed He Yunting obediently. As soon as he landed, he was stunned by the different environment he saw.
They seemed to have reached...the border of the strange creature galaxy.
He wanted to keep walking, but his legs went weak and he almost fell on He Yunting again.
"Come up."
The other person walked in front and leaned forward with a faint tone.
This time, Lin Han didn't hesitate much. He took two steps towards He Yunting and obediently climbed onto his back.
So He Yunting carried Lin Han on his back, with a little ball on Lin Han's shoulder, and their shadows overlapped.
Lin Han put his arm around He Yunting's neck. He was afraid that he would fall, so he grabbed his arm with one hand.
He Yunting didn't know that Lin Han had lost his mind-reading ability because he held his hands frequently recently, and Lin Han didn't know that He Yunting had kissed her fingers while she was sleeping more than once.
All the secrets are hidden here and no one knows them anymore.
There was only Gollum, the only witness.
The author has something to say: Go back soon! real!
It’s so nice to write in the afternoon! I can definitely fix the time! (Why do I feel like my fg is more capable than Lao He)
Before the time is decided, I will send you a 50 red packet.
