Chapter 153:

The eyes and Mute's head facing those blue eyes were still blank, and the hand that had tightened his wrist had been violently forced.
Mute only felt that his body was light, and the whole person was dragged up by Mi Er, who was half-kneeed on the edge of the platform.
The boy dragged up on his knees on the small platform was still a little embarrassed, and he was already tightly hugged by a pair of powerful arms the next second. The body was a little bit painful, just like the feeling that my mother was holding him when she woke up, but now the person holding him is much taller than his mother, almost embedding him in his arms, Embarrassed.
His face was clinging to the other's wide chest, and the cold silver-white metal clasp was on his cheek. He was a little panicked. He couldn't see the face of the person holding him, let alone the expression of that person at the moment, But he felt the rapid and messy breathing of the person holding him close to his ear, and the fingertips that shook his shoulders but shook slightly.
The young man holding him didn't speak, just breathing quickly, Mute's face was pressed against the other's chest, and he could clearly feel that the heart deep in his chest was beating sharply, and the strong movement almost broke his chest.
Even without making a sound, he could feel the man's heart beating strongly. The boy's heart softened and he wanted to say something. But when he just opened his mouth, he suddenly felt dizzy, his head was sore and painful, and a strong nausea came from his chest. He gasped violently but felt like he couldn't breathe oxygen, and his eyes were black.
Mute gasped in pain, and his fingers subconsciously tightened the blouse holding his Miel's chest. Tinnitus came from deep in the eardrum, echoing in his mind, making him have a headache and becoming unable to breathe. Distant as if someone was shouting his name hastily, but his head was too dim to respond.
In the unconsciousness, the voice calling for him went away, and he fell into darkness.
…………
In a special ward dedicated to the supreme commander of a white spaceship, the invisible ripples and characters flashing on the screen of the instrument inlaid on the metal wall.
A cold military man wearing a gold-colored shoulder strap stood next to a soft white milky liquid soft metal bed, and a medic wearing a military white robe was reporting to him.
"There are no major problems, no symptoms have been detected, and all physical indicators are within the normal range, but they are weaker."
"The reason for the coma?"
"Sir, may I ask if this person has been growing up in a well-purified indoor environment."
"..."
"His respiratory organs are very ... well, delicate, very low resistance to the external environment, and completely unable to withstand the external air conditions. In short, Your Excellency, this person can only breathe purified air of class I, II Air levels below and below will not work, and the air outside of the section where our spacecraft passed just now is V level, which caused a situation similar to respiratory poisoning. "
"... how is he doing?"
"The harmful gas he has inhaled has been removed in time, it will not cause damage to his body, and he should wake up soon."
"Ok."
The young soldier hummed low and said, "You can step back."
"Yes, sir."
The medic raised his hand to salute, then one turned backwards and left quickly.
In the white ward, only the teenager lying on the hospital bed and the soldier standing next to him.
Slender fingers stretched out, and the tip of the finger lightly tapped the light black forehead that strewn among the teenager's eyelashes. Miel looked at the teenager on the bed. His eyes were like the deep dark blue that settled deep in the ocean floor. The shadow deep in his eyes makes it difficult to see his eyes at this moment.
The tight lips are thin, and the edges and corners are clear and cold. The slightly curved corner of the eye of the Phoenix eye is sharp, but at this moment it has softened a little. He stared at the boy in front of him, with a deep look, as if he had fallen into meditation, as if thinking about something.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe it was only a moment, maybe it has been a long time, the ward was so quiet that I could not feel the passing of time. Mute's slight movement immediately awakened Mier in the groan, and he leaned down slightly, looking at the slowly opened eyes.
He seemed to want to imprint his shadow in the eyes of the teenager in the first place.
And he did see his figure in those dark pupils for the first time. He saw the child blinked gently, and when he opened the eyes again, his shadow was still reflected in his eyes.
His chest contracted for some reason.
He saw the boy looking at him with some confusion and some confusion, and finally a shallow smile appeared.
"Brother Miel, it's been a long time."
In a simple sentence, Mi Er's pupils moved like a tremor. He tightened his lips without making a sound, but his fingers pressed on the bed were fastened to the fingers. The joints are pale.
"why?"
He asked, his eyes staring at the teenager below him without blinking.
He thought about it for a long time. He thought about it for more than two hundred years. He still couldn't understand why the child would not wait for him.
[He said, sorry. 】
The woman said that Mute saw him back, so the child should know that he would definitely come to see him.
But why, why did he leave it to him for a few days.
[I do not forgive. 】
I won't forgive you, you have to leave when I can't see it.
The lack of a headless word made Mute who had just woke up a little dazed. He thought blankly for a while, as if he wanted to understand, his face hesitated.
Mi'er looked at him and continued.
"Why don't you believe I can protect you?"
Before that, he was able to pull the child back from the death line, so then he could do it.
"... Brother Mi'er, I know, at that time, it was you who helped me find my heart that I could continue to live." After a little silence, the boy finally answered.
He looked at Miel, and put his hand on his chest, where his heart beat.
"I know that if you come back, you will continue to live the same way."
He whispered, "... Have you ever thought that if this heart is used for others, it may be used for 70 or 80 years, but it has been used for me for only five years."
"Even if the failed organ is replaced again, as long as my disease is not cured, the new organ will still fail. Those organs donated by others to let more people live well will be used on me. Maybe in the future It won't take me two years. "
The young man smiled at Mi Er, a calm smile, but it made people feel a little distressed.
"Too wasteful, isn't it?"
"I don't think ..."
waste.
"Well, Brother Mi'er doesn't think so, neither my parents, nor the tulle."
Mute said he sat up from the bed and blinked at Mier.
"So the ones I said ... well, they are all deceiving, and they are all reason to persuade yourself that you are great."
The teenager who sat up stood behind his hands.
He said, "The real reason is after all ... I can't carry it anymore ... at that time, it was too uncomfortable. Although I kept telling myself to live because I was worried about my mother and father being sad, it was still uncomfortable."
"So I ran away, sorry, Brother Miel."
Mute stretched out his hand and caught Miel's shoulder leaning in front of him, as it was a long, long time ago, when he was a child, holding his elder brother's neck to coquettish him.
"Sorry."
He whispered, "I know, if I meet you again, you will definitely find a way to keep me alive, and you will definitely be able to do it ... but I ... I'm scared. At that time, I was uncomfortable, I was uncomfortable I don't know how long I can hold on ... I don't want to lie in that narrow room all the time, and I'm full of pipes, I can't move, just like a living carrion ... I don't want to. "
The nightmare-like past seemed to Yesterday to Mute, who had just woke up.
A little bit of weakness in the body and the pain that can almost drive people crazy, he now seems to have clear memories in his body.
"........."
Mi'er didn't speak, his dark eyelashes dropped, and the shadow fell in his eyes. His clenched lips loosened a bit, raising his hand and stroking the hair of the boy in his arms.
"……never mind."
He whispered that the little child had grown up, but he still had such a small, soft body, and was still so distressed to look at it.
It was so distressing that I couldn't say another important thing, I just wanted to coax him and pamper him.
…………
"By the way, Brother Mi'er, it was your men who brought me back?"
"The goal of the operation was ... but why are you there?"
"So, the target you originally wanted to arrest was my parents?"
Mi Er frowned, and he frowned.
"your parents?"
He frowned and gestured, a translucent virtual light curtain emerged in the air, showing a pair of men and women.
"Do you know them?"
"They are my parents."
"No, I remember your parents didn't look that way."
"I don't know why their looks have changed a lot, but I know they are right."
"........."
"Are you a soldier? Why arrest them and did they do anything?"
Mi Er pursed his lips without saying a word, and for a few seconds staring at Mute's nervous gaze, he opened the communicator on his ear.
"Stop arrests temporarily."
There was a stupid voice inside.
"But Your Excellency Marshal--"
"stop."
"……Yes."
He closed the communicator, looked up at Mute, and the boy looked at him with a pair of dark pupils.
"I slept for a long time, I don't know anything, and my parents didn't tell me anything."
Mute reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother Mi'er, what happened? Why did you catch them ... And, where are we now? Are we on another planet? Have we left the earth?"
Recalling the gully that just saw the ugly earth like a cobweb and the dusty gray sky, Mute didn't think it was like the earth.
"Don't think too much."
Miel held the hand holding his sleeve back, rubbing Mute's head with the other hand.
"Rest first, I will tell you other things slowly, as well as your parents ..."
He groaned and said, "They are still safe for the time being, you need not worry."
Mier answered most of Mute's questions, but avoided Mute's question about which planet it was.
Because something had to be dealt with, Mi'er told Mute to go on a break and then leave quickly. There was only Mute alone in the quiet ward. He was lying on the bed, thinking about things that made him unthinkable.
He thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a way.
"What's ... well, is the brainpower program here? I need service."
Recalling that there was a brain in the place where he was staying a while ago, maybe in this ward, Mute asked tentatively.
He guessed right, as soon as his words fell out, a mechanical female voice sounded immediately.
"Hello, the ASK-SS spaceship Intellect is at your service. Please state your needs."
Mute pondered for a while, and continued tentatively speaking.
"Where can I ask? Well ... that is, how much authority do I have?"
If it is like the parent's intellectual brain, without giving him permission, then it is useless.
"You have all rights beyond the military limits of the ship."
"Well, then ... tell me where the spaceship is now."
"The spacecraft is now on the earth's surface at longitude 63 and latitude 32, which belongs to the Antarctica category."
"Earth?"
Mute made a mistake, and he suddenly remembered everything that he had seen outside a while ago, and a heavy feeling somehow poured out at this moment, pressing heavily on his heart.
"Show me the sights outside!"
A huge virtual screen half a ward wide appeared in the middle of the room, and the image outside the spacecraft was projected in front of Mute.
The moment he saw the image, Mute's pupil narrowed sharply.
It was a dark ground, with ravines all over the land, with a rotten breath, and deep cracks all over the ground, like wrinkled gray-black hands of an old man.
No cloud was seen in the sky, and the sun was burning fiercely like a fireball, shining directly on the ground.
The gray and black rotten ground was terrifyingly quiet. Except for the cracked gully ground and the sand blown by the wind, there was no breath of life.
It seemed like a dead place from hell.
Looking at this terrible place, Mute couldn't believe his eyes.
"Here is ... Antarctica ?!"
"This location belongs to the Antarctica category. The spacecraft is currently within the ozone hole. If you want to go out, please wear aviation clothing."
"The ozone layer is empty? Here? Why!"
Unable to understand the meaning of human expression from human tone, the brain gave truthful answers and suggestions.
"Yes, the ozone hole has spread beyond the entire Antarctica continent. If you plan to go out, please be careful."
"I need the whole image of the earth!"
"Yes, show you a three-dimensional image of the earth."
Just one second after Zhinao's words fell away, the screen disappeared and a three-dimensional planet appeared in front of Mute.
The teenager's breath was frozen at this moment.
It was a rundown planet shrouded in gray dust.
The once beautiful blue has turned into a dirty gray-yellow, the green almost disappeared above the earth, and only a few scattered greens were hiding in that gray-black. The white clouds that once circled the planet were dusty, leaving only gray tones.
Above the bleak earth, only human cities still have signs of life, and beyond the cities, there is no vitality.
Juveniles can hardly see any life other than humans.
The sea was yellow, and the water was gloomy. I could not see anything inside. The shape of the continent familiar to young people has all changed, and rising sea levels have devoured countless lands. And those rivers that turned yellow to black were flowing on the ground, in a disgusting, sticky form.
Mute held his head.
impossible.
he thinks.
impossible!
He remembered the ice-covered white ground he and his parents had visited before he was completely ill.
At that time, he squatted on the white ice and watched the group of chubby little penguins wagging and walked in line from his eyes. Tasha squatted with him, watching and laughing. His father put a billowing white snow seal into his arms with a smile, the cute little creature whispered, his dark round eyes glared at him, and his small arms patted him gently.
At that time, he looked at the white ice layer floating in the blue water, and he looked at the beauty where the snow-white and blue sky meet on the horizon.
And now, on the same ground, he only saw gray-black scorched earth.
…………
It cannot be the earth here.
The young man thought so. He may still be asleep in the freezer, or it may just be a dream he had in his deep sleep.
A nightmare.
Earth ... The beautiful blue planet he's seen can't look like this ugly! !! !!
He hugged his head and clenched his fingers firmly.
Someone grabbed his wrist, forced his hand away, and hurriedly called his name.
Mute looked up in blankness, and he saw Miel's face frowning.
He just grabbed his head with fingers that were too hard, and his head hurt a little ... he felt pain, not dreaming. He is not having a nightmare, what he just saw, and what he saw with his own eyes outside the spacecraft not long ago, are real earth.
The beautiful blue planet had been sore and rotting in the short period of two hundred years of his sleep.
"Earth ... Here is Earth? Why is it like this?"
The Marshal, one of the leaders of humankind, answered calmly.
"Human development requires resources."
"Need resources? So ruin our place of existence?"
The teenager shook his head, he was at a loss, he could not understand.
"Don't worry, there are not many planets in the universe that are suitable for human existence."
"Different."
Mute shook his head. He looked at Mier's calm eyes. He only felt that his chest was pressed by something heavy and uncomfortable.
"It's different."
"Same, for me."
For more than two hundred years, whether on Earth, on other planets, or in the navigation of the universe.
There is no difference to Mier.
His voice was as light as sighing at this moment, and his fingers brushed the dark hair of the juvenile horns.
"it's the same."
He said his eyes were too heavy, revealing the loneliness hidden in the depths.
"Wherever you are, there is no you."
The room was very quiet and there was no sound.
Mute opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. He and the person in front of him had been separated for too long, so long that he felt a trace of strangeness to those in front of him.
He couldn't understand the understatement of this man when he said ‘There are other planets’, and could n’t agree with this man ’s thoughts, but at this moment he saw that he leaked a lonely look, but he could n’t say it.
嘀 ! !! !!
"Alert, alert!"
The brain's mechanized voice suddenly sounded in the silent ward, instantly breaking the suffocating atmosphere like mud.
"The opponent's ship has an attack intent. Repeat. The enemy's ship's attack intention was detected!"
A snap, a virtual light curtain opened in midair, and someone appeared on the screen.
"Hello Marshal! There is a spaceship in front of you!"
That man's voice was very quick.
"Confirmed! It's Gat's ship!"
