Chapter 136 Across the Stars
In everyone's impression, Karelina is a cold and arrogant sentinel.She will express her concern for her children, but her concern will never be too much reflected in words.Even when Karelina came to Shu Yao's house when she received the news of Alexei's death in battle, she always tried to maintain a stable mood.
But now, for Shu Yao and Alexei, this impression was instantly shattered.
The first, the second... After the Black Buck Legion was "annihilated", no one has logged into Alexei's Starnet account again.No one knows what Karelina said to her children in a corner where no one saw.
"Dear Alexei. Some time ago, I always dreamed about you as a child. You ran towards me and asked me if you could drive my 'Tannic'. I was surprised by your wish, but Undeniably, at that moment, I was really very happy.
"But at the end of these dreams, you will always fall on the battlefield. I can't find you from the worm mountain, I can only watch you being swallowed by those hateful invaders. My Alexei, my child When I wake up from the dream countless times, I already have a premonition. But how can I comfort Shu Yao?
"He's so young. You're all so young..."
In front of the electronic screen, Alexei remained motionless.
His breathing seemed to become difficult.Shu Yao listened, feeling sad, leaned over and hugged Alexei.
The two were sitting side by side at this moment, so that Alexei's back was still straight, while Shu Yao held his shoulders with both hands, and his cheek was pressed against his right shoulder.
He felt a tremor in Alexei's body.Then Alexei hugged him back.
The first message is over.The next one is: "Honey, Shu Yao's condition is not very good, I am very worried about him. He smiled and said to me, just before I went to your house, he just finished the manuscript needed for editing. I see Come out, he's trying to hide his sadness, he doesn't want to make me more sad."
Alexei blinked his eyes, trying not to let the tears flow.
"Okay." Shu Yao raised his head to kiss his cheek, and said, "Calm your emotions, let's communicate with mom. She must be very happy, right?"
The biggest way for Karelina to get out of the great sadness is to tell her that both Alexei and Shu Yao are still alive.Not only that, but they also killed the queen of a hive, and found a way to make the bugs no longer a threat to humans and orcs.
"Yes." Alexei said softly, like a sigh, "You're right."
He took a few more deep breaths.Then, the communication request was sent out.
The federal star field is vast, and it is still late at night for Karelina at this time.
She did not fall asleep.He was already lying down, but when he closed his eyes, in the dream, Alexei's mecha fell and Shu Yao was walking hard on the battlefield.
Beside him, Jiang Cheng's breathing had become steady and long.Karelina simply got up and went to the living room, ready to drink some wine.
This is a habit she has only recently, Jiang Cheng may have discovered it, but he didn't expose it.
While pouring out the wine, she heard a beep from the terminal.Karelina glanced at it, but didn't pay attention at first.But at this glance, her pupils shrank suddenly, she threw the wine bottle away, and then pulled the electronic screen.
It turned out to be a communication request from Alexei!
Great surprise mixed with grief.For a moment, Karelina thought: So I was still asleep, so I had such a dream.
The network on the battleship was not good, and it took longer than usual for the two sides to establish a signal link.However, when she saw the two children, Karelina felt that everything was worth it.
"Mother--"
"Alexey." Both sides spoke at the same time, "Shu Yao, are you all right?"
"We are fine." Alexei looked at his mother's face firmly, "We are now on the C49 battleship of the Figaro Legion, which belongs to the Sixth Military Region. Mom, Shu Yao found me and brought me back. "
Karenina said nothing.She stared blankly at her child's face, still not feeling that this was reality.Karelina thought very simply, even from the perspective of dreaming, as now, there are not many times when Alexei and Shuyao's faces can be seen clearly.I must cherish it and remember their appearance at this moment.
"Mom?" Seeing her like this, Shu Yao was a little worried, "Are you okay?"
He didn't get a response from Karelina, but Jiang Cheng was awakened by the sound of the wine bottle falling on the ground in front of him.The man got out of bed and came to the living room, and saw two faces projected in front of Karelina at a glance.
His footsteps slowed down briefly, and he felt that he was dreaming for a moment.But soon, Jiang Cheng remembered something, came to Karelina's side, and called, "Alexey, Shu Yao! You?!"
Alexei looked at his mother worriedly, and said, "Uncle Jiang, is my mother..."
"Hiss, Karelina."
Jiang Cheng put his hands on Karelina's shoulders, and beside him, the spirit beast Huang Ying flew out and "chirped" in the room, like a singing.
Karelina's spiritual sea was damaged in her early years, but after years of careful recuperation, her spiritual power is like a layer of water stored at the bottom of a pool.Thin, almost nonexistent, but re-existing after all.
Her eyelids trembled slowly due to the comfort of the spirit beast guide.Then she realized: "Am I not dreaming?"
In the dream, Jiang Cheng's mental grooming could not be felt.
"I don't think so." Jiang Cheng glanced at the faces of the two children and replied.
Karelina's pupils shrank suddenly.She turned to the electronic screen again, her eyes blurred at this moment.
On the other side of the screen, even if he told himself repeatedly, he had to be calm and not let the situation get out of control.But at this moment, Alexei and Shu Yao still couldn't help their noses sore, and murmured: "Mom."
All emotions need to be vented.Even Jiang Cheng shed a tear in such an atmosphere.
Half an hour passed, and the four of them finally became quiet gradually.Karelina straightened her back again—Shu Yao thought to herself, the mother and child were really very similar in this respect—and began to ask what the two children had experienced before.
Alexey smiled.He was holding Shu Yao's hand all the time, and now he opened his mouth and said, "Shu Yao found me."
Shu Yao looked at him.
Alexey said in a low voice: "At that time, my consciousness was almost gone." Wrapped in the poisonous silk of the golden ringworm, feeling the melting of the body, I lost sight, hearing, and all senses, " I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt that Shu Yao seemed not far away."
In the dying state, even an A+ level sentinel has extremely ethereal mental power.However, such ethereal spiritual power gathered around Shu Yao little by little, and once again condensed into the spiritual beast Shu Yao was familiar with.
"I want him to go," Alexey said.
Shu Yao said: "I finally found you, how could I leave?"
Alexey smiled.The eyes of the two met together, and they were speechless for a while.With just one look, thousands of words flowed through my heart.
However, they also remembered that Karelina was still waiting for their next sentence.
"He said something to me. Yes, said he was healthy and capable enough to take me away," Alexey said.
Shu Yao added: "It's really healthy. If you go for a physical examination, your numbers should be even more beautiful than when you were in school."
Alexei couldn't help laughing.
In front of their elders, they have never been too intimate.However, unconsciously, the clasped hands turned into entangled arms, and the bodies were tightly pressed together, silently expressing the determination not to separate.
Alexey: "Looking at him, I felt that it was really the case. So, I didn't stop him, he dug me out and gave me some simple treatment. The patrolling golden ringworm came soon, At this time, we discovered that to those bugs, I seem to have far more attraction than Shu Yao."
Nothing about Guanlan was mentioned.For Shu Yao and Alexei, Karenina is of course considered "one of their own".However, the two are using the network on the starship at the moment.For the sake of caution, they seem to be emotional at the moment, and every word is full of excitement.But in fact, he didn't say anything that shouldn't be revealed.
"Yes." Shu Yao said, "I have never been to a battlefield before, although I also simulated a battle with worms in school, but that is completely different from the situation in the worm pile.
"Actually, on the way there, I found out that bugs seem to be less annoying than what various materials say. But I didn't realize until later that I experienced it myself. To find me, bugs need to be close enough and have an open field of vision. But to find Alexei, all he needs is the use of mental power."
Having said that, the attitude of the two is a little bit solemn.Even Karelina on the other side of the electronic screen raised her eyebrows slightly at this moment.
"You mean—"
She asked.
"I forgot to tell my mother." Shu Yao said, "I used the mecha that I made with Alexei on this trip to the worm's nest. Before that, we had always planned to give this mecha to my mother, and also to all ordinary people. People, including all the sentries and guides who damaged the spirit sea, are going to make it public after it is fully produced.
"In the federation, the situation of the latter type of people is still attracting public attention. But ordinary people, who obviously account for three-tenths of the population, seem to be completely invisible in the star network and in various places."
Having said that, his voice paused slightly.
Alexey said: "When recruiting troops before, the military department would rather borrow troops from the empire than mobilize these people. Of course, this is because the basic operation logic of all mechas on the market is mind control.
"However, if our mechas can be mass-produced and widely used, if all people without mental power can receive the same training as Shu Yao, so as to drive these mechas with another operating system, the bugs will not Another threat."
"After all," Shu Yao smiled, "before we left the lair where Alexei was taken away, we killed the queen of the fourth nest."
His voice was calm and unhurried.But the weight of the voice made Karelina and Jiang Cheng almost dizzy.
"I'm beginning to suspect that I'm dreaming." Jiang Cheng muttered, "Karelina, what about you?"
The sentinel glanced at him and saw a lot of trance on Jiang Cheng's face.She thought to herself that she should be the same.
