Interstellar: Conquering Crazy Commanders with Food

Chapter 200 Back to Earth
Andrew took off her earphones and put them in his ears. He didn't know how long he had been listening to them, but he was staring at her with a complicated expression.

"Andrew? You didn't go to school this morning?" Claire rubbed her eyes, and the blurry double image immediately became clear.

"The sound here was recorded in the room when there was thunder last night?" He took off the earphone and put it in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Mom heard it too. She didn't sleep much in the middle of last night."

Claire woke up a little bit, she sat up from the bed, rubbed her temples with her thumbs, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry Andrew, they are mine."

"I know, your friend and husband in the future." Andrew interrupted her, pointing to the computer again, "And the robot in it, it's incredible but I understand."

Claire pursed her lips, "So, do you have any good insights?"

Andrew sat down beside her, and released the words he had already thought up: "I hope you will stay with us forever, you know that mom can't afford to lose you for the second time."

Claire lowered her head abruptly, with a hint of boredom in her eyes, "I know, and I don't want to leave her either."

She thought about it all night and couldn't think of any good solution.

"Claire." Andrew held her hand on his knee and returned the earphones and mobile phone to her. Wrinkles appeared on his forehead, "If you don't go back, they will die, right? I have listened to the voice inside several times, Why did they ask you for help?"

"Because of the Zerg." Jones mechanically replied after being plugged into the computer: "They are very dangerous."

Claire raised her eyes and said sadly: "Andrew, they are scarier than the ones described in the movies, and I'm really worried that all my friends will die in their mouths."

"But you are just a person, a young and innocent woman." Andrew frowned and said, "I believe that everything you have experienced is true, but even so, what's the point of you going back? How do you get rid of those vicious gangsters?" Save them from the mouth of the beast?"

Claire shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know, but if it wasn't an emergency, they would never ask me for help. I know very well."

It wasn't Fei Ji or General Natalie who contacted her last night, let alone a researcher in the laboratory, but Wanda who lived with the females.

In such a rigorous laboratory, it is generally impossible to allow a female to come in and use those precious instruments.

If it wasn't for the Zerg attack, Claire couldn't think of any other reason.

The Commander that Wanda called faintly lingered in her heart, reminding her whether Cassius was still alive.

At the thought of this possibility, Claire felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

Andrew stared at her stomach, and poured another basin of cold water, "You are pregnant now, even if you really want to leave, you have to think about your child."

Claire's eyes froze, her fingers stroked her flat stomach, and her eyes struggled a little more.

The first three months were the most likely time for the risk of tire slippage. Considering the actual situation, she had to treat herself and Cassius' child as the same thing now.

After thinking for a long time, she whispered, "I won't take any risks until the child is stable."

Seeing that she was persuaded to come back and temporarily dispelled the dangerous thoughts, Andrew's mood relaxed for a moment.

The days went on day after day, and the terrible thunderstorm weather like that night never appeared again.

Claire also didn't know whether it was really because of the weather that Wanda could contact her, or it was just a coincidence that they got together.

Andrew won the consent of the landlord during the summer vacation, cut down the trees a few meters around the house, and pulled the wood out for some money.

Coupled with the money they earned from interviews and Donna's handmade textile sales, their life has been pretty good recently.

Claire's stomach went to the hospital for another check-up when she was in her third month.

The result was still not good, and the doctor advised her to abort the child.

According to a normal three-month-old fetus, the length is about 9 centimeters, and the limbs and movement state can be clearly seen, but Claire's pregnancy test is still in the one-month state.

Abnormal growth retardation of the fetus.

The doctor believes that the consequence of this going on is that the embryos will stop growing, and an abortion operation should be performed as soon as possible.

The family who heard the news sat up late in the stuffy little house, and no one ate the food on the table until it cooled down.

Donna also knits several dresses and thin blankets that the children wore as children, which now seem to be out of use.

Looking at Claire who had been silent all this time, she had a sad face and a faint pain in her heart.

God has favored her and her daughter, and now it's time to collect an equivalent reward.

"Claire, don't be sad, in the future." Andrew's lips moved, and he put his hand on her shoulder but couldn't say the rest.

Compared to Donna and Andrew's discomfort and pain, Claire's mood was much more stable. She stroked her flat stomach as usual and said softly, "I want to go back."

"The medical treatment here can't save him, so I'll go back." She raised her eyes firmly, "In the future, there will be a way."

This is the only child she has with Cassius, and she wants to keep it no matter what.

Donna burst into tears immediately, "Claire, don't leave me and Andrew, you know I can't lose you again."

Claire hugged her into his arms, his eyes were a little empty, and his thoughts drifted away into memories.

"Mom, I owe Cassius more than enough." She patted Donna on the back and said softly, "Without him, I would have already been buried in some handful of stinky black soil, and he will give birth to me." The opportunity was given to me, and now his only child is also dying, and I cannot allow it."

Facing Donna's helpless crying, Andrew opened his mouth again and again after thinking about it, sighed, and said, "Mom, Claire's life choices should not be interfered with by family affection. You love her and we all love her, but she has already Growing up, she knows what she's doing, she knows what's right, she's a mature woman."

"She should solve her problems. This is the responsibility she must shoulder as an adult." Andrew tightened his arms on Claire's shoulders, with a strong tone of reluctance, "We are waiting for a few more years, she Will be back."

Claire was both surprised and moved when he was able to say such a thing at a young age.

Donna couldn't agree for a while, she just shed tears silently.

Claire, who is pregnant, can better understand the feelings of a mother who is about to lose her child, but her idea of ​​going back is not a momentary impulse but the result of careful consideration.

She often listened to the recorded voices of Wanda over and over again, and every time she heard her distressed calls for help and the interruption of the signal from the commander, it would make her heart ache.

Claire knew she should go back, not only for the children, but also for them. She needed to go back and solve the puzzles to discover the truth.

Knowing that she was determined to leave, Donna stayed up all night sadly.

But in the morning of the next day, she dragged her tired body to the door of Claire's room, knocked on the door, and said in a low voice, "I'll prepare some clothes and food for you and put them in the suitcase. You can still take it with you."

Claire, who got off the bed, felt guilty and moved. She walked up to Donna and hugged her vigorously. She suppressed her tears and said, "I love you very much, real mother."

"I know." Donna patted her on the back, choked up and said, "I just want to come back."

Claire bit her lip and said with red eyes, "I will."

In fact, she thinks that what Wanda conveyed means that she needs to jump down from the hospital where she jumped once, probably only in this way can she go back to the future.

This is a very dangerous behavior. She doesn't want to waste her life, but she has to take risks.

-

After deciding to jump off the building, she did not tell her mother the truth.

On a night that showed a thunderstorm, Claire dragged Donna's suitcase and took Jones and the black box to the hospital.

Andrew came to see her off, and the two unanimously refused to accompany their mother Donna on the pretext of heavy rain tonight.

"It's only said that there will be a thunderstorm tonight, not necessarily the thunderstorm weather like before." Andrew helped carry the suitcase, and said to Claire with worried eyes: "Are you sure you will go to the future again after jumping from here? I can bear it." I can't bear the consequences of collecting your body, but I still have two lives."

"Forget it, Claire." Andrew was worried.

"You should call 911 Andrew." Claire hid under his umbrella and said, turning her head, "Please come and deal with me, and remember to hide the suitcase, don't let mom see that I haven't taken it away."

Andrew asked in surprise, "911?"

"Why are you so surprised? Before they finished laying the mat, I wouldn't foolishly jump down and fall into a pulp." Claire smiled, "I regret my life."

After reacting, Andrew's tense body suddenly relaxed, "I'll call now, they will come soon."

Tonight's weather is the worst this month.

The night sky was dark blue, the wind and rain were heavy, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Claire held the chip and the black box tightly in her hands, and touched the ring necklace hanging around her neck with her fingers.

As a former resident patient, she has already figured out the layout of the hospital, and even the nurse on night shift in the inpatient department is very familiar with her.

Claire easily slipped into an unoccupied ward, climbed onto the window sill and adjusted her posture with her feet hanging out.

Looking out the window at the scene tens of meters above the ground, she looked very calm.

Andrew, who was still holding an umbrella outside the hospital, saw a small dark figure dangling half of his body in mid-air, and his heart was so frightened that it wasn't constricted.

911 came very quickly, and because Andrew made it clear that someone jumped off the building, their inflatable cushions were also delivered and unfolded.

The shrill siren and the nervous looking up of the police gentlemen did not arouse Claire's emotions at all.

"Claire!" The nurse who heard the news rushed in from the door at the first time, not daring to get too close to her, but said stammeringly: "Don't move! Don't jump off! We can talk about things."

Claire held the black box, touched her stomach with one hand, and looked up at the storm gathering above her head.

Tonight's heavy rain was blown by the wind on the upper floors, and her pants were all wet, and her legs were a little frozen.

"Wanda." She murmured in a low voice, desperate for a response.

"Little girl!" A familiar policeman also rushed into her ward, and said nervously, "You were taken away from me by your mother and younger brother before, and you came back alive from the disappearance case. Don't worry about it!"

"Boom!"

A blue-purple thunder streaked across the sky, making a muffled sound.

Claire looked down at the already inflated air cushion below, and there were a large number of passers-by holding umbrellas who came to watch one after another.

The first time jumping off a building is despair, will the second time be salvation?
Claire took a deep breath, and when a bright thunder flashed across the clouds again, she leaned forward and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

"Claire!" The nurse screamed, but the plainclothes policeman rushed forward but could barely touch a corner of her clothes.

The feeling of falling was actually uncomfortable, but for Claire who had learned how to fly a fighter plane, her heart was still very peaceful, and she just covered her stomach with her hands out of worry.

Outside the tall building of the inpatient department, the girl fell from a height and disappeared in mid-air again in vain.

Seeing this scene, Andrew's trembling legs and panic finally calmed down.

Compared with the unbelievable exclamations of the people around him, he seemed quite normal.

When he was taken away by the police to cooperate with the investigation, he didn't even notice that behind the electric pole not far behind, Donna, who was soaked all over, fell to the ground in a daze.

Claire passed out on the way.

When she woke up again, she was in a crushed bush.

The dew in the humid air kept dripping on her face, and the cold touch and damp air made her shiver.

She put down the lifted clothes to cover her stomach, and slowly sat up to protect her cold stomach with her hands, looking warily at the half-meter-high bushes around her.

How long has she been here?
The sky was still dimly lit, and the environment was so quiet that no sound could be heard except for her breathing.

Claire stood up slowly while supporting the tree trunk. The necklace around her neck and the chip in her pocket were still there, but the small round box fell to the ground and fell apart, and there were many chip-like things inside that disintegrated and fell out.

It seems that she really relied on this thing to come back again.

But...why didn't it just show up in the lab?

Claire looked in a further direction, stepped out of the bushes, and walked all the way to the place where the line of sight expanded faster.

The surrounding environment gave her a feeling of familiarity and strangeness, and she thought that she should be in Hope's territory.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Claire found a familiar creek and a small wooden bridge that had been damaged.

She recognized that this was once the residence of the siblings Judith and Yale, but now
Claire's expression froze slightly as she looked at the rotting pile of charred wood and the field where weeds had regenerated on the other side of the stream.

She stepped into the stream and walked forward, not feeling the cold water that spread to her knees at all.

She staggered across the water and ran all the way to the house that had become a pile of wooden ruins.

In the ruins that have been burned by the fire and almost turned into black charcoal, there are still many clothes, cloth and daily necessities that have not been burned clean
