Chapter 94 Lost Date

Chris was silent for a moment. Then he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, the Expedition is already in position at the strategic point. There are still twenty-six minutes until the first 'stellar drop'."

Fitzgerald raised his eyes, and his usually cold and hard face was back to normal. However, only his right eye was intact, and the bloodstains on his left eye were only bandaged hastily.

He motioned for Chris to check the items on the table beside him. Two safes, one large and one small. And Dark Flame's mecha button.

"You take these away, and you know their corresponding uses and the departments to which they should be delivered."

"Frank's here for another reason. Don't pay too much attention to it. Leave it to Albert to deal with." Then he thought that although Albert and Chris were close friends, due to their different backgrounds and natural positions, they would probably have a lot of arguments in the face of such a change.

So Fitzgerald added: "Trust Albert."

Chris's lips trembled slightly, and she immediately understood what he meant.

She was very familiar with the safe engraved with the royal emblem. It was a blue safe used exclusively for "genetic backup".

"Yin has never been successful in the 'genetic backup' after breaking through the current level. This time I provided a 'full sample', including some spiritual body core crystals."

"Because the sampling environment is simple, you must submit it through the original channel as soon as you return to the First Fortress."

Chris glanced at Fitzgerald's newly bandaged palm. The little finger on his right hand had been cut off at the root, leaving only a few bloodstains after the slight bandage.

She said hoarsely: "Although Yin has sent Frank to urge us, the upload deadline for this issue of 'Gene Backup' has not yet arrived. Wait until you return to the First Fortress..."

Fitzgerald interrupted her. "I'm not entirely sure I can return in good condition and meet the lab's upload requirements."

He paused, then said, "This is not the same as Lost on the UFO."

The red-haired alpha gently put down the petite sleeping girl in his arms, then took out several items from the space button and handed them to Chris one by one.

He said calmly, "As your superior, I have no right to ask you to do this."

"But as a friend, I ask for your help."

Chris was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Hey! What are you talking about? There's still plenty of time! The operation on the Expedition will take more than 20 minutes. From the delivery of the 'stellar fuel' to the formation of nuclear fusion reaction, and then to the first shock wave of the white dwarf explosion reaching the surface of the planet, this process will take at least 18 minutes to complete the entire reaction..."

"Not to mention that when it comes to 'spiritual dissipation', you don't necessarily have to stay at the original coordinates..."

"Her situation is different," Fitzgerald did not elaborate on why the 'spiritual dissipation' was different, but only briefly mentioned the most critical reason: "It was the planet itself that made her lost."

Chris asked doubtfully, "The planet itself?"

Fitzgerald placed his slender index finger lightly on the girl's weakly beating neck artery, thinking: "I have calculated the frequency of her residual fluctuations and compared it with my own speed. The fluctuations of this frequency band on the planet only take 7.8 seconds to transmit back, and her residual pulse--"

"It fluctuates every 7.8 seconds at multiples of beta."

"Her scattered spirit has not yet disappeared and is still lingering inside this planet."

Fitzgerald said this with great certainty, and with a calm expression, he gently fiddled with the necklace on Su Xi's collarbone with his index finger. The ice flame substance in the air bubble had now dimmed to almost nothing.

As if he had thought of something, the red-haired alpha's extremely cold face suddenly broke into a slightly sarcastic smile, "Not just 'not disappeared'."

It can even be said that it is powerful enough to read the "planetary memory".

The hurdle of 'spiritual body dissipation' often appears at the last checkpoint leading to the 6S upgrade. When the five original chakras of the upgrader's body energy are fused and reorganized to differentiate into the sixth chakra, the differentiation fails, resulting in the dissipation of the energy body.

It usually stems from the 'loss' of self-awareness, or the 'falling' into some unsatisfied desires, or the 'destruction' of the false ideals in blind pursuit...

Fitzgerald thought silently, but she was actually lost in the evolutionary history of the planet itself.

What is this?

I am even so lost that I don't care about the existence of "self".

The red-haired alpha lowered his eyes, sensing the ice flame substance in his clavicle that was about to go out, and the tiny frequency that was dissipating bit by bit.

fortunately.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had acted impulsively and rashly based on his intuition. When he gave her the fragment of his own energy body, he even hesitated whether it was too much of a burden for her.

Fitzgerald snorted in his heart. It seemed fortunate that this was the case.

Fortunately, there is still a very subtle connection between him and 'her'. Fortunately, when he first met her, he felt a soft heart for the first time in his life, and left the initial spiritual anchor in her brain.

As long as her spirit body has not completely dissipated, tracking her in the current time and space is just a matter of time and patience.

And pay a little 'small price'.

Fitzgerald looked up and saw Chris's frozen expression.

"Do as I say."

He calmly comforted this most reliable subordinate and one of the few friends he could fully trust over the years: "Don't worry too much, Chris."

"This is just a normal process with uncontrollable risks."

"It's my job."

Chris was silent. She could not say anything to persuade him, no matter whether it was because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates or because of her friend's "request". As a soldier, she quickly calmed down and replied solemnly: "I will immediately handle all your needs and requests."

"But please remember. No matter what, the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle will wait for you and Miss Su Xi until the last moment."

Fitzgerald nodded slightly, he trusted Chris. After arranging everything, he closed his eyes and started another round of searching. The ice flame in the clavicle chain was getting dimmer and dimmer, and he had fewer chances to connect with 'her'.

Chris looked at the man who instantly ignited seven chakras and kept switching between the "full energy state" and the "material state". Under his delicate and skilled control, the magnificent and huge energy kept circulating in the human body's mental circuits. The occasional scattered part was also strictly controlled by the ice-blue mental force field in the "light ball" with a diameter of one meter.

Therefore, even though she was very close, she was not affected by the energy shock.

Chris resisted the overwhelming pressure and retreated to the exit of the safe house.

He took a final look at the scene in the safe house. The powerful mental force controlled the protective force field, and it even materialized into a sphere with a liquid-like surface. The chakras were fully ignited, and the low-key yet powerful burst of energy made the figure in the ice-blue liquid ball gradually blurred.

The black-haired Beta pursed his lips and resolutely stepped out of the safe house.

The only thing she could do was to carry out every subsequent arrangement of his perfectly.

*

It is exactly as Fitzgerald said.

At this moment, 'Su Xi' has been lost in the boundless magnificence, and no longer exists in the state of a 'human', but is closer to the state of an indescribable, full energy body that is able to experience everything.

The top of the mountain is covered with cumulus clouds and the snow never melts.

The towering mountain reaches 8,844 meters high and grows upwards at an average rate of 1.15 centimeters per planetary cycle.

It stands silently and whispers in a low voice.

When her bare feet stepped onto the icy and snowy ground, Su Xi's mind moved slightly, and she felt the fierce wind and snow.

The body that had just condensed was dispersed by the strong wind of the thin oxygen in the high altitude, and then reunited.

Only the dark insect shell material carrying the fine gold sand roared in from the void, carrying a very intimate feeling. It liquefied into beads and strings, circling around her endlessly.

Su Xi was slightly stunned. Then she came to her senses and remembered who she was.

'She' is Su Xi, who traveled through time and space and exists in the shell of a being called 'Naya' in this interstellar era.

But the scene presented here is not on the planet BV32-II.

There is no need for any language to explain. Wherever her sight reaches, whether it is mountains, clouds, snowflakes, air... any material existence presents its most essential meaning under the focus of different observation bands that she can manipulate at will.

The macroscopic material world is the real 'reality', while the microscopic microcosm, when the essence of the microcosm is explored and all the components of atoms, protons, particles, etc., are just small segments of 'waves'.

In the microscopic world, the conventionally perceived 'waves' are the most essential 'reality', and the macroscopic things constructed by these 'waves', those hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and iron molecules, those objective material existences, those inanimate rock buildings, those living birds, insects and fish, those humans who call themselves primates, are all just illusory appearances that rise up with the waves in the microscopic 'ocean'.

Thus, the language of this mountain that stretched for thousands of miles and had been silent for trillions of years was easily "read" by her.

Here is the 'memory' this planet once had.

No, to be exact, it is the incomplete memory of a part of this planet.

Su Xi was startled! In the blink of an eye, she was already in the center of the planet BV32-II. Her right hand with a tiny red mole gently stroked a piece of brown sedimentary rock. At this moment, she existed under the planet's crust in a state of "virtual and real", and in the center of the earth 10,000 meters deep.

The image of the center of the planet she had seen before reappeared in her consciousness.

What the 'planetary memory' just showed her were distantly connected fragments in parallel universes.

Su Xi's eyes widened! She showed an extremely incredible expression, and -

The extravagant hope is rekindled!

In the shale, Su Xi eagerly traced back until the 23 million years ago, and finally found the starting point of the birth of this snow peak.

It was originally formed in the primordial sea at the end of the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. Then Su Xi's mind moved slightly, and her slender fingers drew a span of 2,100 years on the shale, stopping on a piece of red rough gravel. Her nails gently touched the gravel that was particularly special and intimate with its 'waves', and she closed her eyes and entered.

She wanted to seriously verify that incredible conjecture.

And the other side.

After Chris stepped out of Fitzgerald's safe house and returned to the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, he was met with everyone's stern gazes.

Obviously, we cannot know the specific changes that took place in Fitzgerald's private safe house, but the tremendous energy overflow and the strong and urgent full-band search, even if it was quickly controlled to avoid the negative impact on the current engine maintenance of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, cannot help but make people think too much.

She threw the button of Dark Flame's mecha to Mary and called her by name, "Mary, Rambo. You two have worked together on mecha online operation before. After your brain areas were synchronized, you immediately controlled Dark Flame and the Sun Swallowing Shuttle to perform a jump binding."

"Ellen, assist Mary in separating the Dark Flame Mecha's heavy cabin from its core cabin, separating the core cabin's proto-nuclear crystal, and implanting the seventh-order Leap Migration Insect Crystal Core."

"You have eight minutes!"

The straightforward Rambo shouted in surprise: "Sir! Although I have always dreamed of being able to come into contact with Dark Flame, but——"

Mary stopped him, obviously wondering what the reason was.

She said seriously: "Got it! Take action immediately"

They looked at each other and their hearts tensed. What on earth had happened? In this situation, surrendering one's own mecha often meant that there was almost no chance of survival from the next incident.
