Black Sky

The sky full of fireworks gathered into bullets, the firelight caged into the barrel, scattered planet fragments regrouped, the edges merged, the cracks disappeared;

The decayed dead leaves fly back to the branches, the crushed petals are re-wrapped into clusters, and the sky stars fall to the sea;

The people in the frozen capsule got up and went back to the kitchen, living room, street, shopping mall;

The bright blue light within the dragon column retreated to the activation point, and then returned to the disaster transfer device in the Silver City;

The start bar is swiped to the original position, and the received instruction disappears from the screen;

The experimental materials jumped out of the reaction tank and returned to the shuttle carriage. The door was closed, and it retreated quickly along the track...

Truth felt like he had a very long and absurd dream. The scene in the dream always switched back and forth between forward and backward. The flow was so fast that when he opened his eyes, he tried to think about it, but found that he couldn't think about it. stand up.

I woke up with a snow-white wall. Several warm and bright watercolor paintings hung on the wall. There was a slight sound of the nutrition machine in my ears, mixed with inconspicuous breathing.

The smell of disinfectant water and nutrient solution mixed in my nose.

This kind of scene was so familiar, he was stunned for a while, almost thinking that he had returned to the White Eagle Military Hospital in 5702.

He glanced at his left body subconsciously, and he actually saw the instrument wiring.

The consciousness that was still a little confused just now wakes up instantly!

The final result of the grid plate process is to return to 5702?!

So what about the people he met later?

Where is Sae Young?

Where is Jiang Qi?

Chus furrowed his brows deeply, and when he was about to make a push to sit up, the action affected the nutrition machine next to him, and the didi prompt sounded. The door next to him was pushed open almost at the same time, and some familiar faces hurriedly Busy came in--

Old man Shao wearing a mask, his assistant Miller, some young doctors and nurses, and Shao Heng.

"Hey, don't move!" Even if you wear a mask, you can see that the old man is holding the coffin face.He puts Truss back on the bed with his anti-bacterial gloves, "What do you want to do if your wound is not healed?! The condition of the organs was stable this morning, and it hasn’t been long since the mechanical body was replaced with a cultivated limb. Particularly, you can't work hard!"

When the old man saw that the patient was showing signs of rebellion, he became furious. After a crackling talk and training, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a farther place, "I came in with you, look at my child... Then what about Yang Duoan?!"

Yang?

Chu Si was taken aback, and opened his mouth: "Who is in peace?"

His voice was so dumb that he was stunned for a while, but he didn't care about it, but turned his head along Shao Lao's fingers and looked at it.

Before, there was a nutrition machine blocking the line of sight, but now the nutrition machine was moved away by the little nurses who came in, and the scene behind it was revealed——

Seeing that on the bed next door, Sae Young was lying on his side with his eyes closed, asleep facing him.

There was a heavy fatigue on the man's face, and a slight wrinkle between his brows, but he was still handsome.

Truss watched for several minutes before confirming that he was awake and correct.

It was indeed Sae Young.

So he suddenly settled down, and he was pressed back to the bed honestly, listening to the old man continuing to use Sae Young as a positive teaching material, reprimanding him for not caring about recuperation.

Shao Heng, wearing a sterile suit, listened to him for nearly ten minutes, and finally couldn't help but reminded him, "Old man, Mr. Yang, that's because I haven't woken up yet."

"You go out!" Elder Shao turned his head and pointed at the door, "What are you doing following up? Can you afford to interfere with his physical recovery?"

Shao Heng was helpless, and first waved at Chuss, he smiled and shouted, "Sir, it’s fine to wake up. The newly transplanted limbs recovered almost yesterday. I heard Miller’s report. Saying that you can get out of bed and move around when you wake up, the old man is overly nervous by himself."

Elder Shao immediately glared at Miller.

Miller: "..."

The young gentle doctor raised his hands to signal his innocence. He took two steps back with a helpless expression. After standing side by side with Shao Heng, he squeezed a word from his teeth: "Captain Shao, can you betray me one less time? "

Shao Heng kept smiling face to the old man, "No."

Miller: "..."

They buzzed about something, but Truth didn’t really listen. He sank on the soft hospital bed, but his attention had been taken away from his limbs. He always focused on the right hand, feeling Sa E Young's breathing is low but even.

After a while, he was in between the buzzing of the group of people, and his dumb voice intervened a few questions: "Where is this? How long have I slept?"

"White Eagle Military Hospital." The old man closed his temper and replied earnestly, "I have been dizzy for a year. I was just removed from the ICU yesterday afternoon."

The old man has a strong temper, and he has to change "sleep" to "faint", and he shows no mercy.

He wanted to say something more, and the reminder he was wearing was ticking again.

"You--" The old man looked at him still a little worried.

Shao Heng has already spoken, "The other beds are probably awake, you go, old man, don't stare at someone training, I'll be with me here, if there is anything you can guarantee to call someone immediately."

Old Man Shao glared at him, then checked the instrument display next to Chus's bed, and then left with Miller sternly.

After busying around, the little nurse, with the help of Shao Heng, re-adjusted the parameter settings of the nutrition machine for Chus, connected the wiring, and left in a hurry.

Shao Heng pulled the chair to the side of the bed and sat down with his hands on his knees, and said to Chus, "I have sent the Buddha away, my ears are hot."

"So what's the situation now?" Chus's voice was too dumb, and he didn't want to make any effort to speak, so it was almost a low breath. "My memory is still stuck in the process of the grid plate in Fort Barney, and I can't keep up with you. topic of."

"Are you asking about what happened after the grid plate process?"

Truth nodded.

Shao Heng thought for a while and said, "How do you say this... In fact, when the grid process went wrong, we were all in shock, so no one can say exactly what it was like. But according to later According to the extracted data, after you restarted the grid process, the time began to self-regulate. And because the connection between the dragon pillar and the center of the silver city experimental area was cut off in an instant, it caused... a phenomenon similar to a siphon, but it was In the sense of time and space."

He explained as he gestured, “It’s going backwards at an extreme speed, and then moving forward again, using the time difference and energy changes formed in the middle to change many things, and at the same time to achieve a logical self-consistent within the scope of time and space. The original purpose of the grid process is only Cut the link to prevent the City of Silver from getting worse and causing more difficult consequences for us. But I didn’t expect that the final result was a bit beyond expectations.”

"What do you mean?"

Shao Heng said, "The results from the research institute say that hundreds of continuous advances and retreats have caused reality to stabilize at a rather strange point-the City of Silver made a little time error when transferring the disaster. , So our planet stopped the car at the moment it broke."

"It happens to be at that point-people have already hid in the cryocapsules and activated the cryonics and started to fall asleep. The global shock in the early stage of the collapse has destroyed many places. Rescue is still needed, and people who fight the experiment of time will still Appears, and the battle with the City of Silver has started as usual. You still went to the underground of Fort Barney to start the grid process to avoid further expansion of the disaster."

After he finished speaking, he shrugged and said: "It is just that most of the things that should have happened are still happening, but the total time is slightly advanced. The moment before the planet collapsed, the rest was patched in time. The lower series formed a circle. The research institute said, this is probably a kind of risk aversion of time? It avoided the energy disorder of the degree of the collapse of the planet, and chose to gather the bad things in a small area."

Chu Si couldn't help asking: "Which small area is so unlucky?"

Speaking of this, Shao Heng became happy, and even a little gloat: "It's not bad luck, it's self-inflicted. A few months ago, a bit of news was leaked from the City of Silver, saying that the experimental area appeared at that time. The energy and space-time disorder caused by the experiment, and because the shielding belt around the experimental area forgot to remove, caused that disorder to be enclosed within the experimental area, forming a closed space-time cube, and all the chaos will be in that closed area. The error value of each cycle is the part that is consumed. This situation will not stop until all the chaotic energy is consumed. It is conservatively estimated that it will take nearly 220 years. This time and space cube alone is enough for the city of silver Yes, at least for the past 220 years, they can stop being a little bit scrupulous."

In 220 years, his life will be that long.

Truth felt a little emotional.

"On this matter, I believe two sentences." Shao Heng straightened his long legs and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair with his arms.

"what?"

"Sacrifice is always worthwhile. And... you always have to pay for your sins." Captain Shao felt well physically and mentally, but he stopped after shaking his feet twice, and said seriously, "But you lie down for a whole year, then Lifeless physiological data, look like a row of tombs waiting to be sealed, especially yours! If you follow the normal procedures, the critical illness notice you received this year can be ordered into a planetary civil code, plus Yang Mr. Penal Code—"

He chuckled, "The old man's heart attack will be caused by you, or he is so nervous."

Truth turned his head to look at Saë Young, "Na Saë--"

"Don't worry, sir, it's also stabilized, but it may take another two days to fully wake up." He said, tapping his temple with his finger, "This is actually good news. Because time self-adjustment is nailed to this stable state. , Will not fluctuate arbitrarily, so the experts from the hospital and those from the research institute observed the chip in your brain and the time-experimental biomimetic tissue in their body. Finally, it can be safely removed. Otherwise, it may be troublesome in the future, and it is easy to excessively lose physiological energy. In the middle of last month, the doctor performed operations on you separately, and Mr. Yang stripped too much tissue to replace, so he would wake up later. "

"Oh, right, without the influence of the chip, you don't need to continue to use machinery on your left half of your body. The old man used your DNA to cultivate the limbs, which are the same as the original ones, which have been replaced for you. If you don’t get out, you can move around properly, but it’s better to be gentle on the left in the last six months.

Truth: "..."

He was quiet for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "Since time has found a stable point in countless running-in times, and it continues, why do I still remember those things after the break?"

Shao Heng said: "I also remember that, in fact, everyone involved in it should remember. According to the conclusion of the research institute, in fact, what happened during the hundreds of times of self-adjustment and running-in is also left in our brains. The traces are just that we think we don’t remember. Maybe one day we suddenly felt that a certain scene seemed familiar, just happened to happen in the repeated running-in. This kind of memory is left behind... Maybe it is a kind of alert, or a remembrance. "

But whether it is a vigilance or a remembrance, it is good.

"So it's over?" Truth asked.

Shao Heng nodded, "Yes, it's over."

As he said, he remembered how he got up and walked to the window and opened the curtains, "The location of this ward is very good, with a wide view, and you can see far away. The curtains are too wasteful to block. You can see that the horizon is already white. I guess the sun will come out soon."

Chu Si gave an "um", then looked at the hospital bed next to Sae Young, and said to Shao Heng, "Since you are standing up, just do me a favor."

"what?"

"Combine the two beds."

Shao Heng: "…………………………"

He looked at Chu Si silently, and Chu Stanran looked back at him calmly, as if he was making a normal request that patients all over the world would have, like pouring a glass of water.

After a while, Shao Heng said with a subtle expression: "Fortunately, the old man is not there."

Chus raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"You don't know, when you and Mr. Yang restarted the grid plate program, my old man just regained consciousness, and he would see it with his eyes..." Shao Heng stopped and said.

Truss nodded as usual, "So?"

Shao Heng thought for a while, and said: "For my old man's old-fashioned kind of uncomfortable seeing people hugging in the street, you and Mr. Yang gave him a great stimulus. I guessed it rationally. I guess he was conscious at the time. I was immediately lost for a few seconds."

Truth couldn't help laughing at last.

Shao Heng whispered back and forth, and finally he honestly loosened the rollers under the bed and moved the two beds much closer, but they were not completely put together, lest the doctors and nurses come inconveniently.

After the bed was adjusted, Shao Heng said that it was almost time to get Chu Si some medicine to moisturize his throat.

When he went out, Truss could clearly hear the sound of the guards who were standing outside bowing their heels together.

Saer Young was still asleep, and Chus shook his exposed fingers and pulled the quilt back.

While doing this, a bright color suddenly appeared in his peripheral light, and when he looked up again, he found that the sun was coming out at the far edge of the field of vision beyond the French windows.

It wasn't until this moment that he really realized that the long seemingly endless black sky finally passed, a large area of ​​morning light flooded from the horizon, and even a few beams had crossed the boundless land, through the clean glass , Sprinkled in the house.

The timer on the wall shows the planet time and weather--

April 12, 5715, sunny.

Chus turned off the lights in the room, and watched the clear sunlight coming in quietly. He coated the bed cabinets, tables and chairs with a layer of fluffy edges, wrapping everything up bright and gentle.

You see, after all, there is still a period of time.

He woke up at the right time, just to reunite with the missed person in a gentle warm spring.
