Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Chapter 573 The countdown stopped?

In this life, Mo Dao's actual experience can be said to be shorter than any previous life.

The time consumed during several long hibernations is equivalent to wasted.

But at the same time, the future he will reach before the end of his life has never been so far away.

At this moment, calculated according to earth time,

It’s been 164 years,

It is almost twice as long as the farthest place reached in previous lives.

Maybe he still hasn't broken the time cage, but in fact he has expanded the size of the cage a lot.

And the impression of the world in his mind also expanded from the inner ring of the solar system to the Proxima Centauri star system, which he had never reached before.

Counting all the lives since the second life,

There is almost nothing that can restrain Mo Dao.

Morality, law, and force actually have little meaning to Mo Dao.

Among all worlds, the biggest driving force is actually seeing something different in the limited time here.

During the time spent cycling here, the scenery that I have never seen before is extremely precious.

The memory ability and thinking ability that continue to grow in life after life are a help in the repeated life after life, and are also one of the sources of pain.

When the cage of time cannot be broken,

Either the 'cage' is reset again and again, dressed up in different ways, and sees some different scenes,

Or make the cage bigger and see something farther away.

The experience of different life goals is the former, and the pursuit of a voyage to Proxima Centauri and physically expanding the boundaries that have been set foot on is the latter.

In this life,

Mo Dao does not have many regrets.

Even if he had to do it all over again, the image of Proxima Centauri has always existed in his mind.

He has seen landscapes beyond his previous limits,

And as long as he is willing, he can still reach the future of 164 years in the next life, instead of ending in 82 years.

Maybe sooner or later, 164 years will become a time similar to 82 years.

But at least for the moment, everything is okay.

…

In this life, Mo Dao only has less than fifteen days left.

Naturally, the other researchers on the voyage spaceship could still feel the changes in Commander Mo's physical condition.

It can be said that it took a sudden turn for the worse.

After waking up from hibernation before, it was only due to old age that the steps were hobbled and the energy was severely reduced.

At this moment, the body seemed to be on the verge of collapse due to old age and decay.

During this period of time, Mo Dao began to sleep longer and longer throughout the day.

But the waking time is not sure whether it is in the early morning, afternoon, or late at night.

The waking hours are getting shorter and shorter.

The physical examination equipment on the spacecraft can also detect changes in Mo Dao's body.

Everyone knows that that day may not be that far away.

However, it is obvious that everyone on the voyage ship is already old.

There is enough psychological expectation that everyone on the spacecraft will pass away in a not so long period of time in the future.

Probably no one can wait until the long-distance spaceship sets sail again.

Previously, more than one researcher had passed away.

But when this matter fell on Chief Master Mo and Mo Yuan,

The researchers were still a little hard to accept, and even felt inexplicably panic.

Even if they are no younger than Mo Dao, even if they are on Earth or other permanent bases in the solar system,

They were all leaders and leaders of independent research teams.

Even though they have experienced many ups and downs in their lives,

But it still doesn't affect their unstoppable feeling of confusion at this moment.

It's like the backbone has been ripped out.

only,

The development of things and the passage of time are not dependent on the will of the researchers.

In this situation where the body's lifespan has reached its limit,

Even in this life, in this era, there is nothing we can do.

Even Mo Dao's theory denies the possibility of breaking through the life limit.

Time, just like that, is still passing by without mercy.

…

Naturally, Mo Dao does not have the energy to preside over too many things in the Qiu spacecraft at this moment.

However, these days, there are still core researchers coming to visit Mo Dao.

Although many times, Mo Dao is in a comatose state when arriving,

But they are also willing to just wait.

Even if he didn't talk about anything important, he just had a few words with Mo Yuan.

There are only about a thousand people in the Quest voyage spacecraft in total.

These days, the atmosphere has inevitably become a little depressing, and even some sadness is pervading.

Everyone knows why, but almost everyone is subconsciously avoiding this issue and not mentioning it.

…

When there are only seven days left in the countdown,

When Mo Dao came to his senses, he declined everyone's visit.

The researchers on board the quest ship also followed Mo Dao's wishes and did not bother Mo Dao any more.

And in the last little time left,

Just like in previous lives, Mo Dao just spent his time peacefully with his girl Qin Huaishi.

When I wake up, I talk to Miss Qin Huaishi.

The two will mention some previous research, but they often talk about topics that are not necessarily meaningful.

Or, just leave the living area and rest room, and simply take a walk inside the huge Quest voyage spaceship.

Although Miss Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao almost hibernated and woke up at the same time,

At this moment, the body is already aging, but it doesn't matter, the two of them just support each other,

I'm not in a hurry to go somewhere, and I don't care how far I go.

When the strength fails, just rest next to each other and feel the tranquility of each other's mood and environment at this moment.

…

Time flies, and the last day of the countdown has arrived.

On this day, the two of them woke up in the early morning almost at the same time.

The wind with some coolness and water vapor, and the warmth brought by the simulated sunlight in the spacecraft,

Almost after pushing open the window, it fell on the two of them at the same time.

Didn’t mention too many topics of life and death,

Miss Qin Huaishi didn't ask too many questions.

With the help of the intelligent robot, the two made an ordinary simple breakfast together.

After eating together,

Just out the door.

…

"...260"

When there are only a few hours left in the countdown,

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi were sitting in the small park with portholes above the dome on the outside of the living area of the Qiusuo.

In front of a flowerbed that was well taken care of by an intelligent program, the two of them sat down under a bench.

At the beginning, there were some other researchers in the small park.

But looking at Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi from a distance, they didn't bother them again.

Instead, they moved further away one after another, giving Mo Dao and the two of them more space.

Sitting on the bench, the two of them put their hands together, but didn't say much.

Just sitting there so quietly.

By holding hands together, it seems that they can feel each other's bodies shaking due to breathing, as well as the beating of their hearts.

That's it,

Until, Mo Dao's breathing began to become a little irregular,

And until Qin Huaishi turned his head to look at Mo Dao,

Mo Dao lowered his head and seemed to feel the irregular and increasingly violent rise and fall of his chest.

The sound of breathing became a little strange at this moment, and the heavy sound reached my ears, but I didn't seem to be able to feel it.

Mo Dao raised his head and glanced at the star Proxima Centauri that could be seen through the porthole above the dome.

The dim Proxima Centauri exudes less dazzling and even dim light.

And the light belonging to Proxima Centauri crossed a long distance, filtered through the portholes, and seemed to fall on Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi at this moment.

Of course, it is also scattered throughout the small park.

After a pause, Mo Dao turned his head and looked at Miss Qin Huaishi.

If there are still some regrets in this life, most of them are still in Miss Qin Huaishi.

In this life, he spent too much time chasing the voyage goal of Proxima Centauri.

"Poetry."

"Um?"

Qin Huaishi responded warmly, but held Mo Dao's hand tightly.

"9"

Mo Dao's heart heaved even more fiercely.

The heartbeat seems to have lost its rhythm at this moment,

The old body finally came to the point of collapse.

"Thanks."
