Black Sky

123 days, 12 hours, 07 minutes and 21 seconds;

20 seconds;

19 seconds;

18 seconds;

...

This countdown seemed stressful, but it was actually just a reminder of how long he could live "for now".

If proper maintenance is done before the end of the countdown, the number will return to the initial value and the countdown will restart.

If the countdown cannot be saved in time within 24 hours after the countdown is cleared, then the word "temporarily" should be removed forever, and the moment of clearing will be the end of Trus's true life.

This device has been in Chus's body for many years.

The two-week vacation in the Black Cedarwood Villa every year is to do normal maintenance of this device, to ensure that for the next six months, Truss can still exist in this world vigorously.

When first embedding this thing, Truss protested with the technical doctor, and asked, "Can this thing be made a little more humane? For example, if the countdown to this cripple is gone, those who don’t know think me I’m engaged in a human bomb. Once I opened this door, it kept ticking and ticking, do you hear that?"

The technical doctor was named Shao Dun, who belonged to the highest-ranking Baiying Military Hospital. He was an authoritative expert in the field of intelligent mechanical therapy and an old man who battled with patients all the time.

Old Doctor Shao has always implemented the "three ununity" policy for patients like Chief Chu who look good at talking nonsense--

Don't behave, don't give a good face, don't be forced, and all rejected.

At that time, Chief Chu's left body still had a serious rejection reaction to the intelligent machine. Hemorrhage, allergies and high fever were alternated. The gauze in his eyes had just been unwrapped for a long time. Before the person was out of the dangerous period, he chose three against the treatment machine. Pick four.

With a straight face, Old Doctor Shao instructed the little nurse next to him to give Chu Si an injection, while staring at the various data on the meter: "To deal with you, such a bastard who gets busy without asking day and night, and goes crazy. For things, you should use the countdown to see the world to stimulate you, so as not to forget to maintain it. If you don’t say your life, you will waste a piece of equipment."

"You have to keep it well. There are only 20 machines on the entire planet. Once the interface has a memory of your DNA, it can no longer be used by others. If it is discarded, there will be nowhere to use it again." While speaking, he used the tip of his gloved finger to poke the connection between Truth's wound and the intelligent machine.

Pricked so that Truth completely lost his temper and could only admit his fate.

This tick-to-tick countdown is usually inaudible at all.But Truth could feel it from time to time that it was sticking to his bones, counting his life.Even if it lasted nearly ten years, even an hour before the planet exploded, he was still doing a new round of maintenance for this thing in the villa.

For ten years, anyone has gotten used to it.

So Chu Si just glanced roughly, confirming that the device had not apparently malfunctioned during the fifty years of freezing, and closed the skin again.

The number of days he can live is still three digits, enough for him to find another place that can provide maintenance.

As long as the countdown didn't turn into single digits, Chief Chu, who was not nervous by nature, could still remain calm.

Truss pressed the skin together again, and went into the shower room, the heat swiftly swelling, and the glass door was covered with mist.

Amid the rushing sound of water, the built-in microphone above his head suddenly rustled twice, and Truss stretched out his hand to take the towel immediately.

The microphone is connected to the alarm and communication system of the entire prison and is often used for emergency notification.The people in the safe building do not know how many emergency situations they have to deal with each year, and are extremely sensitive to this kind of thing.

Chu Si was stunned for less than a second, slapped his slap on the shower switch, and immediately combed his wet short hair behind his head, rubbed his body and put on his clothes and went out of the shower.

Just as he buttoned his shirt button with one hand and was about to unlock the door, someone in the microphone suddenly coughed and cleared his throat, and said in a slow tone: "Sir, there is no hot water in my room."

Truth: "..."

He slammed, touched the electronic lock finger and turned halfway, directly pressed the call button on the wall, and asked: "Sae Young, are you sick?"

The microphone rustled twice and replied: "Yes."

Truth: "...You fucking live next door, do you still need someone to teach you to open the door and knock on such a mentally handicapped thing?"

Saer: "I knock on the door and you won't open it directly, so I will communicate first."

Chus opened his mouth and wanted to scold, he heard the rustle of the microphone again, and the sound of the mop came out: "What are you two doing? It scared me to death..."

Truth: "..."

Confused by the neurotic surnamed Yang, he forgot that the microphone was a public release.

Chus rolled his eyes, looked down at the wet shirt on his body, walked to the side of the bed with no expression, and pressed 3 on the communicator embedded in the bed, directly connected to Saer next door. Pick up the No. 3 duty room.

"Do you know how to use internal single-wire communication?" Chus asked salty.

This time Saer’s voice finally did not come out of the microphone, "It will be used, but I guess you are taking a bath, and the sound of single-line communication cannot be transmitted into the shower."

Well, you are reasonable.

Trus's expression remained unchanged, and he hung up without mercy.

Two seconds later, the bedside communicator rang again and automatically connected: "Sir, it's not a polite behavior to hang up before finishing talking."

Chu Stan said: "I have never been so unreasonable."

Saer laughed: "So, can I borrow the shower room?"

Truss wiped the water on his hair twice and replied, "I have to remind you that I searched for food in Duty Room No. 3 before. I tried it when I checked the drinking water. There was no shortage of hot water. Okay, I'm going to sleep for a while, I wish you a nightmare."

After speaking, he completely interrupted the communication and turned on the no-bypass mode at night, and then dragged the communication code of Duty Room 3 into the blacklist.

Anyone who knows a little about Sae Young knows that he is a very extreme and weird person. To be precise, most people in this world are simply air in his eyes. He is not interested, so naturally he can't see it.

There are only two kinds of people who can arouse his interest.

One is more dangerous and uncontrollable than him.The more dangerous, the more interesting he finds it.But in fact, such people hardly exist.

Another kind of person holds what he needs, he has a purpose, so he can see you.

Truth didn't think he was the first kind, so it could only be the second kind.

As for Sa's purpose, he could actually guess at odds and ends, nothing more than hoping to remove the black gold controller through him.

To be honest, even the planet no longer exists, and it is not impossible to remove the controller.

But close to the authority of Trus alone, it really couldn't be done.

It’s just that it’s useless to tell Sa’e. Didn’t he never say it, did he believe it?

No.

Blame the great Chief Chu for talking too much, and his resume in this area is simply inferior.Even if he occasionally opens his heart to say two sincere and sincere words, no one believes it.

Chu Siquan wiped his hair half dry, and lay down on the single bed.

The fifty years in the frozen capsule belonged to a physiological cessation, not a normal rest, so Truth, who had experienced a lot of miserable things, was extremely sleepy at this time and fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.

Then, he dreamed of the winter of 5702.

It was really cold that winter, even Nanton State had snow for a full month, not to mention the Mia Mountains, which are famous for its coldness.

The huge wreckage of the aircraft fell between the steepest cliffs of the Mia Mountains.

The literal "between".

Its damaged left emergency landing wing rested on the east cliff, and the burnt right emergency landing wing rested on the west cliff, with the fuselage in the middle hanging dangerously in the air.In the dream, Chus's situation was the same as the reality of the year, unchanged.

The left half of his body was still in the security door, but the entire security door was completely unrecognizable and deformed, almost crushing half of his body to pieces, to the point that he no longer felt any pain.

The right half of his body hung dangerously out of the aircraft door, and his stretched hand dragged a three-year-old child, and the child's feet was an abyss.As soon as he let go, the child would disappear into the world without even having time to cry.

In fact, a three-year-old child is not too heavy for him.

But on that kind of extremely cold mountain, in the snow and wind whistling, one-handed and unsupported such a child, dragging for an hour will lose his strength.

And Chus has been dragging for thirteen hours.

Even he himself can only be supported by the little will left.

Fortunately, most of the members of the experimental team were ejected from the safety cabin during the crash landing of the aircraft. Only the child who was tripped by a nerve and slipped out of the cabin door, and Chus, who caught him, missed the most. When Jia escaped, she was caught in the exploding aircraft door and hit the Mia Mountains.

One hanging is thirteen hours.

Even in the dream, Truss could clearly feel the cold that can make people lose consciousness and will.

And when the weapon bay of the aircraft was blown up, the blinding cannon stabbed people's eyes with unbearable pain.

He eventually lost his consciousness in the torment, and when he was awake again, he was already lying in the special care unit of the White Eagle Military Hospital. Old Doctor Shao said to him with that iconic coffin face. After nine deaths, 70% of the left half of the body is highly damaged, so you have to use intelligent machinery..."

The second half of Shao Lao's sentence appeared ambiguous in his dream, and he was interrupted by an alarm. The voice was getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and harsher...

Two seconds later, Truth suddenly reacted, the alarm was not in a dream!

In prison guard duty room #2, Chus suddenly sat up from the bed.

In the microphone above his head, the harsh sirens continued to sound. He picked up the communicator on the bedside table and threw it into his pocket, strode out the door, "Sky Eye?! What's going on—"
