Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 63 The ability to predict the future

"But, Dad, why does that person have to be you?"

Qi Zhengxi still didn't understand.

Father squatted down slightly, the two of them were at eye level, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qi Zhengxi's eyes with his fingers.

"I heard from others that defusing bombs is particularly dangerous. If the two wires are cut incorrectly, they will explode immediately. People on TV said that there is only a 50% chance of survival, but my father has already defused three bombs. I learned this in school However, if there are three consecutive 50% chances, then the chance of survival next time..."

Qi Zhengxi pushed his father's hand away, gritted his teeth and said very seriously.

"Hahahaha, but this is an independent incident, isn't it? Besides, dad, I don't rely solely on probability."

His father smiled, and gently hugged Qi Zhengxi, who had once again witnessed his father's return from the bomb disposal mission, into his arms.

"Dad, I have super powers."

"superpower?"

Qi Zhengxi wiped his eyes that were swollen from crying with his hands.

"Yes, dad's superpower is to predict the future. So every time I cut, I will predict it first. If I cut and the bomb explodes directly, then I will stop and cut another one. If not, then I will Just cut this one. So I can safely defuse the bomb with just a little use of my superpowers. How about it, awesome?"

My father smiled and explained as if this was really the case.

"Really? Dad, you didn't lie to me?"

Qi Zhengxi's tears gradually stopped. Every time he saw a group of police cars setting up a cordon outside, his father would be working alone on them.

Qi Zhengxi felt very scared.

I am afraid that the bomb will explode suddenly. After all, if it will never explode, then why do we need to set up a cordon and let everyone within a few dozen meters evacuate?
He loves his father very much, so every time he sees his father go on a mission, he is very sad. When he comes back, he often has nightmares all night long, dreaming that his father was suddenly killed during a mission.

"Of course it's true. When did Dad lie to you? Moreover, I have been performing missions for decades. I have at least five or six bombs in my hands. If it is true as you said, I only have 50% of the bombs each time. If the chances of survival were lower, I would have been dead long ago.”

Father patted his chest and assured.

Qi Zhengxi wiped his tears, believed it, and said, "Every time dad performs a mission, he must remember to repeatedly use his superpower to predict the future."

"Of course, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. So, in the future, you don't have to come over every time when I go on a mission. Look, are you skipping class again? At this time, school is still in session. Oh, forget it. ”

The father spoke to the police here, then exhaled, pressed the button of the EOD suit, took off the heavy EOD suit, put on normal clothes, and took his son's hand to go to school. .

"I'll take you back to school. You're not allowed to skip class anymore."

"I just heard my classmates say..."

"Don't worry, dad will not be in danger."

The father smiled.

"Dad is a person with superpowers. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. I have to save more people. You will be the same in the future, you know?"

"Do I have super powers too?"

"No, you also have the responsibility to protect everyone."

Father taught.

"One day you will understand. If you don't do something and I don't do it, then the final result is that everyone will suffer the consequences together. You may suffer from infamy and misunderstanding, but as long as you think it is right, Then you should keep going firmly. For example..."

Qi Zhengxi and his father walked while holding hands.

"for example?"

Qi Zhengxi looked at his father puzzled.

The father smiled and said: "For example... you don't believe that I have superpowers, and you always think that I will be killed during bomb disposal. But I know that I have such superpowers, so I will bear your misunderstanding and always remain firm Go on and complete your mission.”

Qi Zhengxi understood it completely, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "Dad, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you always didn't take my mother and me seriously, and only did that kind of thing that you don't know when. A job that will cost you your life.”

"Then do you understand Dad now? Dad, I have endured too much, but there is no way. People with super powers will always suffer from all kinds of incomprehension, hahaha."

Seeing that his son was finally no longer brooding over this matter, the father laughed and picked up Qi Zhengxi and put him on his shoulders. "fraud……"

The entourage was stunned for a moment, then as if they didn't hear clearly what Commander Qi was saying, they pushed up their glasses, tilted their ears, and said.

"Commander Qi, what did you just say? I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Qi Zhengxi stood with his hands behind his back, turned and smiled at him, "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Where are you going back?"

"Go back to the fleet. The war is ready to begin."

Fleet Commander Qi Zhengxi turned around and left, and the entourage behind him immediately followed.

"Garbage, so garbage..."

A group of scientists who had been studying the Dawn cruiser for several months completely lost interest after actually dismantling part of the frigate.

Sometimes there is no harm without comparison. They once longed for such a huge frigate, but now after seeing the power of Dawn, they no longer even have the desire to take another look at this ship.

"Qin Xu, did Commander Qi tell us when those soldiers will come? This spaceship cannot be started without thousands of people. We only have about 200 people here."

Chen Xiaomeng found Qin Xu, who was still sitting leisurely in the captain's seat, and patted his head.

"Huh? What did you call me just now?"

Qin Xu pushed away Chen Xiaomeng's hand that patted his head and said with a straight face.

"Qin, Xu?"

Chen Xiaomeng was confused, thinking that he called the other party's name by mistake.

"Please call me Captain from now on..."

"Boom."

"what did you just say?"

Chen Xiaomeng dusted himself off, sat in the captain's seat, and looked at the other party with a smile.

"..."

"Sister Xiaomeng, I saw many people coming, wearing uniforms of the Space Army, they are our people!"

Wang Xueer suddenly ran in from the outside excitedly. When she came to the command room, she saw Chen Xiaomeng sitting in the captain's seat and...Qin Xu next to him.

"Uh, are you so perverted in private?"

"Ok?"

"No, no, I mean, someone will come soon. Pay more attention to the impact, otherwise the outside world will think that we..."

"What do you think we are?"

"No, nothing."

Wang Xueer quickly stopped talking.

"By the way, Qin Xu, what is your identity now?"

Chen Xiaomeng suddenly thought of something.

"Let me see."

Qin Xu turned on the communicator.

"The B-class astronaut of the Deep Space Fleet and the fourth-class sergeant major of the Space Force have not changed. Next to them, there is an additional position of captain of the satellite-class conventional frigate Flying Star of the United Nations First Fleet on Earth."
