Ge Xiu felt as if he was falling forever.

As if being pulled into the deep sea by invisible gravity, all the sounds were blocked on the distant water surface, and it seemed as if only the sound of my own heartbeat could be heard.

The gurgling bubbles flicked over the ears and floated towards the top of the head.

He couldn't struggle, couldn't breathe, and could only fall feebly into a deeper and colder abyss.

There was a vague call from a distance.

Ge Xiu couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but in the bottom of his heart, he just knew inexplicably that the other party was calling his own name.

He opened his eyes sharply.

As if the bubble wrapped around him was suddenly punctured, all the sounds, colors and chaotic lines rushed towards him, slamming his temples like a heavy hammer, making him unable to concentrate and unable to think.

Ge Xiu was suffering from severe pain all over his body, unable to move a minute from the tip of his finger to the toe, as if the energy in his body was completely pumped out, and even his breathing was exhausted.

It took him a while to make his blurry vision clear.

Above the head is the rain of fire dancing and falling.

The fire that transpired between the sky and the ground seemed to be unable to burn for three days and three nights. The scorching and sharp roar of the insects’ bodies echoed under the sky, and the pungent burnt smell permeated the flames, even if separated From far away, you can feel the boundless heat released from the flame.

Ge Xiu realized that he was being held carefully in the hands of the mecha, the steel breastplate and arms wrapped him tightly.

He looked with difficulty in the direction he had just flown in.

On the ground not far away, among the thick and burnt corpses of worms, the silver-white mecha he was driving just now fell among the wreckage. Smoky.

A brilliant red light was reflected on the scratched metal surface of the mecha.

Ge Xiu thought it was a fire at first.

Until he raised his eyes-in the distant place where the sky and the earth meet, the faint red sunlight pierced the dim night sky, and the miraculous golden glow illuminates the dim and deep gray blue, dispelling the darkness. .

The rising sun rises from the horizon.

The morning light of dawn illuminates the devastated earth, reflected on the shattered mecha, with a certain shocking force, hitting people's hearts directly.

The blood and smoke stained Ge Xiu's cheeks, his lips were pale due to the loss of strength, and his vision was lost.

But the golden-red sunlight was reflected in his eyes, like a hot red mark, deeply burned into the depths of his pupils.

As the distance gets farther, the mecha in the battlefield gradually disappears from the field of vision.

The young man's eyes were lost again, he slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep coma.

·

When Ge Xiu woke up again, he was already in the hospital.

The white walls and white lights make the whole room look cold and quiet, and only the uniform dripping sound of the instrument can be heard when it is working.

Ge Xiu moved his eyes.

The environment and layout of the ward here are very familiar...

It should be the hospital he stayed in when he was picked up-I didn't expect that there would be another day to come back.

He moved his throat.

The burning sensation spreads from the depths of the throat to the mouth, and the dryness that cannot be swallowed is really uncomfortable.

Before Ge Xiu had time to speak, he felt a sudden cold on his lips.

A piece of ice-cold and moist crushed ice pressed against his lips. With a little effort, the ice cube slipped into his mouth. It melted slowly under the temperature of the mouth and tongue. The ice-cold liquid flowed down the throat, pushing it down. The anxious and dry pain relieved a little.

He turned his head hard to look around.

Hines was sitting on the chair by the bed, holding a glass with crushed ice in his hand.

He was still wearing the clothes from the previous battle, gunpowder and dust were covered with wrinkled clothes and cuffs, and dried blood still remained on the front of the front, looking quite embarrassed.

Hines lowered his eyes to stare at Ge Xiu, dark blue gleaming in his dark eyes.

His voice was low and hoarse: "How do you feel?"

Ge Xiu sipped the melted ice in his mouth and nodded with difficulty.

He supported the edge of the bed with his hands and tried to sit up, but his arms were soft because of the detachment, and he could barely gain any strength.

Seeing this, Hynes leaned down halfway, took Ge Xiu's shoulders, and carefully helped him up, and put the pillow on the side behind his waist so that Ge Xiu could lean more comfortably.

Ge Xiu took a few quick breaths, calmed his breath a little, and then raised his eyes to look at Hines who had retreated.

His voice was hoarse and undecent:

"I... how long did I sleep?"

Hines sat down on a chair beside him, glanced at the electronic clock beside him, and said, "37 hours and 25 minutes."

So clear?

Ge Xiu gave him a surprised look.

Has he been guarding here all this time?

Hines leaned over to him slightly, shook the glass in his hand, and the broken ice hit the wall of the glass with a crisp sound. He asked, "Do you want more?"

Ge Xiu swallowed the last bit of ice melted in his mouth into his throat and nodded slightly.

Hines twisted a piece of crushed ice and handed it to his lips naturally, Ge Xiu held his mouth open.

The man's warm finger pads rubbed his lower lip, stayed for a while, and then put it back innocently.

The sound of the needle tip landing can be heard quietly in the whole ward.

Hynes fixedly stared at Ge Xiu, his expression was extremely focused, as if he could only accommodate a figure in his eyes.

Ge Xiu chewed the ice and swallowed it bit by bit. The burning thirst in his throat was finally relieved, and the heavy pain in his brain seemed to be less obvious.

He asked, "What happened...what happened afterwards?"

Hines curled his lips and gave a faint smile: "Thanks to you, the main force of the Zerg was wiped out in one fell swoop. My fleet arrived shortly after you were in a coma. The same is true for the Federation's reinforcements. The remaining Zergs are no longer a threat. , Was quickly wiped out, and now my people are assisting the army to clean up the city."

He raised his hand and tucked Ge Xiu's quilt:

"Now I am sending people to assist the government in investigating the reasons behind this attack." Hines squinted his eyes, and a fierce cold light flashed from the depths of his dark eyes: "This attack on the army was carried out. What happened before the shield was broken, it means that there must be humans assisting it-the weapons they use are indeed concealed, but the access to them is very limited. They can't escape."

In these areas, he still has some connections and influences that he can use.

Ge Xiu nodded.

Although he has only just woke up for a short while, he has already felt exhausted.

He yawned and continued to ask, "What about the casualties?"

"Not too much." Hines reduced the almost violent expression just now, and he looked down at Ge Xiu, with a gentle voice: "The evacuation of civilians is very timely. As a planet that survived the worm tide, this is the case. The number of casualties is incredible. Your father and elder brothers are not seriously affected, and the injuries are not even as severe as yours, so don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked with concern: "Are you tired? Do you want to lie down?"

Ge Xiu yawned again.

"... No need." His eyelids were a little heavy, but he still shook his head with strong support: "I'm not very tired... It's fine to sit."

Hines shook his head disapprovingly:

"Your mental energy has been consumed too much, and the internal organs have received a lot of shock due to the explosion. Now is not the time to be tired."

He pulled the pillow out of Ge Xiu's back, and then slowly put him down on the bed again, gently and without any doubt.

Ge Xiu did not resist this time.

He rubbed his cheek against the soft pillow, and habitually curled up his body, like a cat that has been dozing off at noon: "Where is my mecha? How is she?"

"She basically disintegrated due to the impact of the explosion and the subsequent fall." Hines leaned down, pulled the quilt onto Ge Xiu's shoulder, and whispered with his eyes down:

"But it doesn't matter, I can build another one for you."

Ge Xiu blinked slowly, his vision gradually blurred little by little.

He frowned childishly and murmured sleepily:

"...But I just want this one."

In fact, when a mecha has suffered such serious damage, the cost of re-assembling and repairing it will even exceed the cost of rebuilding one.

But Hines said nothing.

He curled his lips slightly and responded in a low voice: "Okay."

Hines raised his hand to remove Ge Xiu's stray forehead, stroked his pale cheek gently with his fingertips, and then said indifferently:

"Then I will find someone to fix it."

Ge Xiu closed his eyes heavily.

Under the thin quilt, the thin and slender figure of the teenager was almost swallowed, and the fragile one seemed to be easily broken.

Hines stood by the bed, watching him quietly, listening to his even breathing.

Finally, he retracted his gaze, then turned around and walked out. For these thirty-six hours, Hines had been guarding Ge Xiu until he opened his eyes. For him to deal with it, whether it is to discuss this post-war reconstruction with the federal government or to investigate the real culprit behind this worm tide, Hines's presence is needed.

Just as he raised his hand to open the door in front of him, he heard Ge Xiu's slightly hoarse voice coming from behind:

"and also……"

Hines turned to look at him.

I saw the young man squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his pale lips curled up, and the pointed tiger teeth were exposed, looking a little childish:

"I won this game."

Hines gave a chuckle, his eyes softened suddenly: "Yes."

——Whether it is the number of enemies killed on the battlefield this time, or something else.

Even now, Hines can still clearly remember that when he saw the silver-white mecha falling in the distance, his chest was almost suffocated with horror, as if the most important part of his life had been dug away. Similar. He has been on the battlefield for nearly twenty years, and has experienced countless critical moments of his life-this is the first time he has lost his stance in the presence of an enemy.

He lost terribly.

·

Hines gently closed the door of the ward, and was about to turn around and walk out, but hit the doctor who was approaching him.

The doctor's look was extremely solemn.

He handed the terminal in his hand to Hines and said:

"Hello, with regard to the patient you sent, his situation is a bit complicated..."

The doctor paused, then continued with an ugly expression:

"We conducted a comprehensive examination on him, and apart from the injuries he received on the battlefield, we found that...the organs in his body began to fail for no reason...and...we couldn't find the reason."
