Chapter 48
Chapter 48
After tricking Mo Fei away, Ming Xu tilted his body and spit out the medicine he just drank into the tube on one side with a wow.The same situation happens to Ming Xu almost every day.It wasn't that he didn't want to take the medicine, nor was he afraid that there were other things in the medicine that Murphy rationed him, which would damage his health if he took it.Rather, this state has become a subconscious behavior of his body.
Mingxu knew that he should not live long, his shell had been completely damaged due to the irreversible injury many years ago, even if he was barely cured now, he was only relying on medicine to maintain his life Forget it, you may be summoned by the god of death at any time.However, his two brothers who have worked hard together since they were young did not want to give up. No matter how difficult it was, they had to find a way to hang his life with medicine.If it wasn't that he didn't want to see his brother feel sad because of his suicide, Mingxu would have chosen to find a place to find out by himself.
But even so, Mingxu's physical condition is still deteriorating. Many times, when he turns around, he will vomit out the medicine and food that he swallowed hard in front of others. This heart-piercing feeling is not at all uncomfortable.
Things will turn out like this, which is actually a good thing for Ming Xu who has already begun to seek death with all his heart.So, before today, Ming Xu didn't care about such a result at all, but looked forward to that day.However, it was different now, he had to live a good life, at least, before Turner came back completely bearded, he had to save his own life, so as not to let his brother feel lonely.
After rinsing his mouth, Mingxu lay on the bed for a while, and then slowly regained his composure, and rang the bell beside the bed, calling for someone to come and prepare a new dose of medicine for him.
If he wanted to survive, he had to take medicine and food, even if his stomach couldn't absorb much at all, and it wouldn't take long to eat it, and he would spit out the food as it was, he still had to eat it.As long as the stomach and intestines can absorb a little bit of nutrition, he is not doing useless work.
The happiest thing to see Mingxu's change is Murphy, except for the doctor who is in charge of his physical condition.
A few years ago, when Mo Fei and his men rescued Ming Xu from the ruins, he was only breathless, and during the rescue process, he walked back and forth in the gate of hell several times.Even the doctor said that it was already a gift from heaven for Ming Xu to save his life from the God of Death, and no matter how many demands he had, he could only rely on Ming Xu's own good fortune.
Murphy couldn't help but complain about such a result, but he was just a fledgling little pirate at that time, and the resources he could use were limited, even if he put all his wealth on it, it would have little effect.It was because of this incident that the fighting spirit in Murphy's heart was ignited to the highest point.Just imagine, as the leader of a group, if he can't even protect his brothers, he might as well pick up trash.
After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Murphy, who had been depressed all day, finally showed a little smile, "Order, as long as it is what he wants by name, I will be satisfied."
Murphy watched the subordinate who had sent the message disappear from his sight, and reached out to tap on the glass table beside him.He thought that in his generation, he would never give birth to any brother, and he would not let any brother be a gun for him.Edmund Scott, it was you who pushed me once again into the abyss of no retreat!I will remember this account well, and sooner or later, you will have to pay a greater price for it!
At this time, Edmund, who was cursed by Murphy, was pulling a chair and sitting outside Turner's cell.To be honest, before today, he had never thought that just under an unknown stone star in this waterway that he passed by several times a year, there was such a hidden place, no matter the reserve or the supporting facilities. For medium-sized base labs!Moreover, there is only one scientific researcher and a strange brain living here all year round, and it is not registered under the name of any official or organization in the empire.Really weird to the extreme!On another occasion, Edmund would definitely not dare to set foot in such an underground laboratory.
"You don't have to lie to me, the boss won't leave me alone." Taking Ming Xu as an example, the upright Turner would never believe that the big brother who grew up with him would When his life and death were uncertain, he led the team to retreat alone.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it. So, before I came down this time, I specially brought you the video of the whole battle." Edmund, who had known for a long time that this would be said, took the prepared tablet from the window Handed it to Turner, "People can lie, but videos can't lie."
Turner's psychological defense finally showed a crack at this moment.
When Murphy left with the Silver Fleet, Turner felt a tightness in his chest with his relentless gesture.But Turner is not a fool. Based on the status of the Silver Fleet before and after, it can be roughly analyzed that the fleet has already performed super long today. If it wants to go to the next level and win the entire battle, unless it uses a thousand enemies A big killer move that hurts itself by eight hundred.
In contrast, retreating has become Murphy's wisest choice. If it were him, he would not just ignore the life and death of thousands of brothers just for the sake of a dozen people.
Thinking of this, the depression in Turner's heart disappeared.Not only that, but he was very thankful that Murphy didn't foolishly choose to persist in fighting and sacrifice more companions for the sake of a dozen of them.
Worth it!
Turner slapped his thigh and put the tablet on a low table aside.Isn't there an old saying that says, when a person dies, some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are as light as a feather. It depends on what he is giving his life for.Although he is now in prison, and the life and death of his brothers are uncertain, he still deserves the words "weighing more than Mount Tai".
"Is there anything else?" The mood changed, and Turner's tone of voice naturally became much lighter when he spoke, "There is only such a video, which can only show that the boss knows better than you when dealing with actual combat. Although the sacrifice I lost more than a dozen of our brothers, but in exchange for more hope in life, do you think I will hold grudges and cast aside him? No, and as long as I am still alive, I believe that the boss will definitely do everything possible , take me out."
"Self-confidence is quite strong." Edmund knew that what Turner said was true, but he still couldn't help but want to raise the corners of his mouth, "You know, if we change the occasion, if we change a job, I will definitely I will applaud your attitude of sacrificing the ego and achieving the greater self. Turner, I admit that I am definitely not as good as you in terms of open-mindedness. I am happy to be the boss. But have you ever thought that between ideals and reality, the latter is often the crueler? Right now, if you choose to be silent, then I can only let the brothers around you, just Then just keep on sleeping. This way of dying, for them, is not painful at all."
"You!" Turner was angry, staring at Edmund's smug smile outside the cell, and it took a long time to hold back the second half of the sentence, "You are not afraid, if I can't die by your hands, after I get out , Will you reveal the fact that your military has blatantly used prohibited drugs? For you, reputation is more important than anything else!"
"Indeed." Turner said the truth, and Edmund did not have any position to refute, "But, how do you know that this is the laboratory built by the Shengxia Empire, and it cannot be the private property of others Woolen cloth?"
"Hahahahaha..." Turner seemed to have heard some terrible joke, and kept laughing as he patted the table with his big hands, "You're lying! You can guess this place just by looking at the surrounding environment , It’s a handwriting that only people like you in the military who pursue the so-called high-end atmosphere have. Private places, which one is not pursuing the most rational use of space? There are also those medicines that hit my brothers, and you can get them even if you die Then three or two, in such a large batch, it’s the first time I’ve seen them used as general sleeping pills.”
Edmund secretly clenched his fists where Turner couldn't see, and he really was the first few big.
"Why don't you talk anymore? I remember, Major Scott, isn't he a person who can speak well? How could he lose to a clumsy person like me?" Seeing that he was about to step on the other party on the talk peak , Turner's mood is even better.
"That's because we don't want to use too bloody methods against you. Everyone should have human rights, and pirates too. I made the idea to give your brothers a more dignified death, let them die too It’s not that painful. Unexpectedly, you don’t appreciate it.” After guiding Edmund, Yuan Zhi actually never left, but stood in a corner that neither of them would pay special attention to. .
More than [-] years have passed since his brother passed away. This is the first time he has the opportunity to get in touch with his brother's child so closely. How could he go away so easily?
Now it seems that thanks to my little selfishness, no, it helped Edmund solve a big problem!
Why is it this tall and thin man again!Turner frowned unconsciously.I don't know why, every time this person appears, he will feel disgusted in his bones, as if there was a hatred between the two of them for killing their father.
Yuan Zhi didn't know what was going on in Turner's mind, so he casually found a chair for himself and sat down, "Why don't we talk about a deal? Tell me a secret about the Silver Fleet. You treat a companion until everyone wakes up. If you don't agree, then we can only be very sorry to see them die due to exhaustion in their sleep."
"You!" Turner felt that he had just caught his breath, and once again he might choke himself to death. His two hands angrily grabbed the steel plate out of the window, imagining that the steel plate in his hand was the man opposite, and his hands Tearing vigorously, with a look of never giving up until the goal is achieved, "Edmund Scott, you are soldiers, you can't do such despicable and shameless things, even if we are pirates and have done many heinous things, we Your crimes should also be judged by the law, not accepting your lynching here!"
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. We can make up a random reason in the final report. Anyway, you are just a group of pirates who have been fighting against the empire. Your death will only benefit the empire. Not sure, The higher-ups will take the initiative to reward us because we have eliminated harm for the people." Yuan Zhi caressed the white coat on his body casually, and wiped off the almost non-existent dust on the clothes, "Have you thought about it? Think about it, we now You can start now. You know that in a few hours, the antidote in my hand will lose its effect. At that time, the Da Luo Jinxian will come and save the lives of your brothers."
Turner gulped heavily, the threat from the white-clothed man seemed tailor-made for him, and the knife stabbed at his weakness, "You can't do that! Don't be afraid that one day, I can Leaving the control of the military alive and transferring to God, use the same method to leave some not-so-good memories on your dearest relatives?!"
"Anyone can speak big words, and you don't need to draft or be responsible for speaking. You can say whatever you want, it doesn't matter." Yuan Zhi said, taking out an injection from his jacket pocket, where Turner could see it. Shaking, "But, you talk too much, I get tired of hearing it, and my hands tend to be unsteady. You know, these antidotes are all produced by pairing with the potions that were hit on your companions. branch, one person will lose his life because of it. So, you must be careful~!"
As soon as Yuan Zhi finished speaking, Turner, who was locked in the cell, could only breathe heavily.With his current status, he naturally knew that Yuan Zhi had not lied to him.Thus, the two options of saving people and betraying his brother began a frantic tug-of-war in his mind.
Seeing his appearance, Yuan Zhi was not in a hurry, but reached out and patted Edmund's shoulder lightly, signaling him to follow him.
"Daddy!!" For a moment, Moore thought it was because of his homesickness that he had some kind of hallucination, so he saw Smith Gary here!A heart, like a deer, was beating non-stop, "Daddy, why are you here?"
"Moore, aren't you happy to see Daddy?" Seeing that his son was fine, not even a hair was missing, Smith opened his arms in relief, "Can't bear to give Daddy a hug?"
"Daddy!" With Smith's encouragement, Moore took two quick steps and threw himself into the opponent's arms.Compared with what he just experienced, the little conflict between him and his family is simply not enough!
"Okay, okay, as long as it's okay, as long as it's okay!" After stroking his son's hair, Smith let out a long sigh of relief for the first time in several days, "Daddy is scared to death!"
"Daddy, am I okay!" Moore said this, comforting Smith and himself, "But Daddy, why did you appear here? Just in time for us to have an accident?"
Smith hesitated for a moment, watching his son's eyes widen, as if I was waiting for your answer, and then remembered that Edmund had said before that Moore had been in the master control of the Sirius from the very beginning. In the living room, he should have seen all the things that should be seen and should not be seen.Gritting his teeth, he finally told the truth.
It turned out that as soon as Moore followed the Sirius on the voyage to the first war zone, Kelson Walker ran out on the back and arranged a series of things intensively, including inquiring about news, contacting passers-by, and cooperating with the Silver Fleet , we must knock down the Sirius halfway.The reason is simple, Moore and the Baker family are the first piece of fat that Kelson Walker has his eyes on. There is no reason why he can't eat it, and he has to watch his competitors bite this delicious piece of fat in his mouth .Since he can't get this thing himself, why not just destroy it so that everyone can't get it!
So, later on, Murphy and his Silver Fleet appeared on the only way of the Sirius, waiting for them to come to their door and let them get a big deal for nothing.Indeed, this is different from what they said to Kelson Walker at the beginning, to let the Sirius and its passengers disappear. Who made the Sirius carry the most lacking technology of the Silver Fleet instead of someone else? staff too!God gave them such a good chance, only a fool would let it go!It's a pity that Murphy made countless plans before coming here, but none of them could match reality.
In the process, Smith consciously passed a lot of how he knew this, and how he rushed to the rescue with reinforcements before everything got worse.It is not yet time to tell Moore about these things.
"Daddy, is the transport ship that you came here on the latest research and development of the empire? Why have I never heard of it?" Smith wanted to hide it, but Moore would not easily let go of this opportunity to know the secret. "As far as I know, at this stage, the empire's level in the space ship manufacturing industry is far from reaching the level of reducing the technology applied on the mother ship to a transport ship that is more than one size smaller than the mother ship. Tell me, who is so powerful and has overcome this difficult problem that countless people want to overcome?"
What Moore asked is not an exaggeration at all. In fact, even ten years later, he, who claims to be very well informed in this regard, has not heard any news about this kind of ship transformation.You must know that these are ten transport ships, not one or two. It is a very huge project to refit them, and it is definitely not something that can be done overnight to hide from everyone's sight.
Smith wanted to keep his lips shut, not knowing how to answer his son's question, as if the eloquent person was not himself at all.
"By the way, Daddy, this place... how could you think of building such a large laboratory in such a place where nothing shits like?" The question Moore wanted to ask was obviously not limited to the manufacturing technology of transport ships. In comparison, he was more curious about why this project was chosen to be built here, and how was it built?Why, he only saw a researcher from Yuan Zhi and a strange brain here, so there are no other people here?
Smith smiled wryly. This second question was obviously more difficult for him to answer than the first one.
"Daddy?" Unable to wait for the answer he wanted, Moore urged him in a low voice.After thinking about it, he thought of another thing——on Stone Star, there is also a gigantic machine, Yinyue, that logged in with the Sirius.Although, that guy didn't know what method he used to shrink his huge body like a hill to the size of an ordinary household robot, but that still couldn't change the nature of his giant!Trouble is trouble after all.
"Daddy is thinking, how can I answer the question you just asked, so that the answer can be understood easily without missing the point." When his son noticed his gaffe, Smith took advantage of the situation and laughed, trying to understand from this moment At first, try to find a way to get away with it.
Smith has said so, and it is natural for Moore not to be too eager. Things are here, and Smith will give him an explanation sooner or later, but he is not in a hurry.
After confirming his position, Moore's sight began to be uncontrollable, always wanting to drift in the direction of Yinyue.No way, this guy has a much stronger sense of existence than Smith's secret, making it impossible for people to ignore his existence.
Yinyue, who had always been obedient and standing aside, seemed to feel Moore's frequent peeps at her position, and tilted her head involuntarily.That probably meant to ask Moore, what do you always see me doing?Is there something wrong with me?
He was caught!More gorgeous embarrassing.
"Moore, the robot over there..." Smith, who finally realized the existence of Silver Moon, hurriedly directed the topic in the direction of Silver Moon, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"That's not a robot, it's a mecha." After correcting Smith's wrong statement, Moore bit his lower lip hard.Today is really a big day to refresh his view of the world, what a mess, all of them appeared on this day! ?This is definitely the rhythm of wanting to play him to death!
"Mecha? Mecha!!!" Smith stared wide-eyed, wanting to pull his eyeballs out of their sockets and stick them on Yinyue's body.As far as he knows, in this world, there are only two mechas that can freely change shape and even size.
One is Ugin, who never leaves Edmund now. It is a gift specially made by his other father, Yuen Shin, for his soon-to-be-born son. Edmund bound together.That is to say, in this world, only Edmund can control Ugin, and others cannot use it even if they get it.
As for the other one, it belonged to Edmund's father. Unfortunately, with the fall of Yuan Xin, the mecha named Yinyue also disappeared.During this period, for various purposes, countless people started a blanket search in the star field where Yuanzhi had an accident. Even if they found Yinyue and couldn't use it, they dragged it back and asked someone to disassemble it for research, and they would still get No small gain.Unfortunately, all of them returned without success.
Who would have thought that this mecha, which had been robbed by countless people, would appear here without warning! !Still following behind his son, Moore! ! !
"Are you... Silver Moon?" In the end, Smith couldn't hold back, and moved towards the direction of Silver Moon with small steps.
"Yes, you are..." As a mythical and legendary mech, it was able to escape from the battlefield by relying on its tenacious perseverance after the fall of its master, and endured loneliness on the asteroid full of gravel , has accumulated energy for more than [-] years without moving, just waiting for an opportunity to make it stand up again, and Yinyue itself is not a simple existence.
In fact, today, the reason why Yinyue was able to use the energy of the shell explosion to stand up again and help the Sirius drive away the sneak attacking pirates was also because it sensed a certain kind of extremely familiar aura, although it was very familiar. It is weak, but it is enough to become a huge driving force for oneself to succeed.
"You are really Yinyue!! I am Smith... No, I am Gary." Smith looked at Yinyue incoherently, because he was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, "Gary, I am Gary." Gary, do you still remember Yinyue?"
Yinyue's eyes changed several times one after another, as if trying to search for everything related to the name Gary in the memory bank. One minute later, Yinyue shook her head in frustration, and said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with my memory bank. Many messages have become blurred and I can't remember them clearly. The only thing I can feel now is Moore. , has an aura that I am very familiar with." That's why it followed Moore and came to the laboratory under Stone Star with him.
Smith's hand that wanted to touch Yinyue paused in mid-air, and it was not so unacceptable that Yinyue would have a small area of memory confusion.You know, the big explosion that happened when Yuan Xin and Major General Scott had an accident was full of destructive power, and it was already a special gift from heaven for Yinyue to keep his life.In comparison, it's just that the memory bank has a little loss, which is not worth mentioning at all.On the contrary, it was what Yinyue said just now that he felt a familiar aura from Moore, which made Smith pay more attention.
"So, did you come here with Moore?" If it was really what he thought in his mind, maybe it would be a good thing for Moore.
"Well, I want to know why I feel that way." Yinyue nodded slightly as she spoke, as if confirming that she was not lying or had any other bad intentions.Moreover, although there are garbled characters in some places, he still remembers some particularly important things very clearly.For example, biological mechs like his generally only have one master in their lifetime. If the master is gone, they will choose a person to travel in the universe until the moment their life ends, because at that time, they will generally be After working with its master, it has become very strong enough to live alone among humans and other living beings.It is rare to choose a new owner for yourself.
So, this time it chose to follow Moore all the time, and even it felt a little strange.
After receiving Yinyue's answer, Smith felt a lot more relaxed.At the same time, a certain vague idea in his heart gradually became clear.
Because Yinyue has experienced a huge change, maybe there will be a short-term chaos in the memory bank, but he has been living a good life, but this situation will not happen.Therefore, Smith clearly knew that his son should have inherited certain hidden components in his blood, and activated them unintentionally.Such a situation has never happened before in history, but the number is much smaller than that of a biological mech like Yinyue who will actively choose a second master, so that his clansmen rarely respond to their own. Future generations have responded with such unrealistic hopes.
Unexpectedly, such a thing with a very high probability will be encountered by him, and he will encounter two at a time.Smith realized that when he returned to the capital this time, he must buy two lottery tickets, maybe he could win the first prize!
Yinyue naturally wouldn't know what was going on in Smith's mind, and Moore, who had never been able to figure it out, would never know.He just felt a little strange. Why did Smith's mental state suddenly become more resistant?
"Well, don't be too anxious about some things. It's not too late to make a decision after careful consideration." Yinyue has to make a decision, and Smith can't interfere too much in it. It's easy to make it feel disgusted and counterproductive.
"Yeah." Yinyue felt that this man who called himself Gary was not like other people here. He looked at him strangely, which made him feel at ease, "I want to stay with Moore for a while, Until I find out what makes me feel at ease."
"I have no opinion."
"what!?"
The voices of Smith and Moore sounded in front of Yinyue at the same time.The difference is that Smith felt a little bit at ease after listening to Yinyue's words.Moore was on the contrary, Yinyue's words didn't make him feel any benefit, but he felt like he was entangled in a big trouble.
Although in order to avoid suspicion and did not want to expose the laboratory on the Stone Star to too many people, Edmund did not let the Sirius and the people on it come with him, but what appeared before Silver Moon was too much. It's too high-profile, so many eyes are staring at it, it's hard for him to hide it.Moreover, this thing is different from ordinary mechs at first glance, he doesn't dare to let it hang around outside casually!He is just a small mecha maintainer, but he can't afford such a big piece of Heshibi like Yinyue.
"You don't want me to follow you?" As a biological mecha, Silver Moon's central system is strong enough for it to be easily read, and Moore didn't say anything in his words.
"I think." Moore replied with certainty. Although he was weak, he was also a man, and he also longed to have a domineering and invincible mecha so that he could show enough face in front of others.But the premise is that he can defend it, and make the mecha that belongs to him play the most effective role, instead of putting it in a corner and getting moldy.
"That's enough." With Moore's affirmative answer, Yinyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I can make myself a little smaller, and even follow you in the shape of an accessory on your body. drop to lowest."
After finishing speaking, Yinyue's whole body was enveloped by a burst of white light, and after just a few seconds, it turned into a badge one inch thick and half the size of a palm, which fell into the palm of Moore's hand.
"How?" Even though she was getting smaller, Yinyue could still see the expression on Moore's face, "Do you want me to get you another chain so that you can hang it on your body?"
Moore felt that he wanted Sparta, who could tell him when the mecha became so caring and independent again! ! !If all mechs would become like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"I'd better help you get another chain out." Having not been in contact with humans for a long time, Yinyue felt that she had become a bit out of touch with their thinking mode, but this kind of person who can feel the other person's body temperature, can feel The feeling of the other party's heartbeat is really good, much stronger than the feeling of lying alone in the cold gravel waiting for an opportunity that doesn't know when it will come.
