Chapter 135 Eden 23
Scavenger Captain, R-0001, the original scavenger biochemical, the most flawed, but also the strongest scavenger.
In order to kill the abnormal him, Gestalt was destroyed hundreds of frigates, destroyers, close to a hundred cruisers and three battleships.
His existence value is almost equal to half of the legion, and the dead souls of the abnormal sub-individuals under his knife are so countless that the killing intent has penetrated into the bone marrow, even if he is just watching, it is like falling into the quagmire of fear.
The scavenger, who knew he was invincible, pulled back almost instantly, and disappeared in the factory in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go first!" Bruce glanced at Ian, who was held in Clark's arms, and whispered.
The latter was still holding the broken knife at this moment, and the blood of the scavenger was splashed on his hands and face.He seemed curious, looking around while clutching the blade, with an almost innocent bewilderment on his face, not at all like he just stabbed a scavenger in the head.
"Gestalt gave me an order to chase you down. The fleet is already coming here, and it will arrive within half an hour!" Bruce said in a hurry, "We must leave here as soon as possible!"
Clark wiped the blood off Ian's face, and Ian glanced at him, then at Bruce, eyes full of curiosity and doubt.
"...Go to my frigate." Bruce said in a deep voice, "The Gestalt center has an interfering magnetic field, and it is impossible to make a hyperspace transition across galaxies. We must go through the star gate."
The three of them quickly entered Bruce's frigate and flew towards the star gate at the fastest speed.
Ian was extremely curious. Ever since he got on the frigate, he had been running around in it, trying to touch the densely packed and complex buttons on the control panel, before being carried away by Clark.
Ian, who was forcibly interrupted from the fun of exploring the world, kicked Clark slightly aggrieved, making a loud bang of steel colliding together, which startled Bruce, who was concentrating on manipulating the frigate.
Bruce: "...has he always been like this?"
This is completely different from the samurai in his impression, is the samurai so lively and active!
Clark was also confused: "No, he wasn't like this before..."
Seeing Ian's unhappy expression, Clark quickly coaxed him like a doting parent: "Ian, let's get out of here first, and then we can talk about other things after we get out, okay?"
Ian tilted his head as if thinking about what Clark said, and after a while, he said, "Ian?"
Clark: "Yes, Ian, your name is Ian."
After speaking, he pointed to himself and said, "My name is Clark."
"Clark." Ian repeated, and the pronunciation he imitated was very accurate, and the words were correct.
"His name is Bruce." Clark pointed to Bruce who was activating magnetic field interference to avoid the stargate security check.
"No... Bruce is dead." Ian said.
Clark: "...Although the pronunciation sounds a bit strange, it's about the same."
Bruce: ...It's almost the same. What the hell is that Bruce's big tongue? Do you want to treat it differently!
Fortunately, Bruce didn't have the energy to deal with these two stupid aliens. He quickly passed through the star gate and arrived at the border galaxy of the Exterminator's territory. He drilled through a significantly smaller star gate. out.
Seeing that he was temporarily out of danger, Bruce finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that going deep into the Gestalt center and then escaping doesn't seem too difficult, but Bruce knows the danger very well.
If he hadn't made adequate preparations within this half month, and had escaped with one blow without the slightest hesitation, there's a high probability that they would be left in the Gestalt center and become space junk.
Sure enough, it was the right choice to spend a lot of time and energy on the stargate security signal jammer.
"Okay, we have more important things to do now." Bruce adjusted the frigate to autopilot mode, and then walked towards the two staring aliens.
Ian looked away from Clark's face and looked at Bruce curiously.
"Uh..." Seeing the samurai's bright eyes full of dense pupils, Bruce felt a little chilled.
... so weird.
If the eyes of the samurai used to give people the impression of a death-like gaze full of cold killing intent, now the samurai seems to have suddenly lost all sharpness, leaving only curiosity and focus on the outside world.
This sudden change in temperament even made Bruce feel unreal, and he didn't even know how to communicate with such a warrior—although the two of them basically never communicated.
"Bruce." Ian said suddenly, his pronunciation was much more standard this time, and he no longer had a strange accent.Then he looked at Clark and shouted, "Clark."
The world's best partners were named one by one, and they immediately tensed up and looked at the little killer who was held in Clark's arms.
The little killer jumped out of Clark's arms, took two steps on the ground, and then said to them, "Ian."
"That's your name." Clark added hastily, as if worried that he might confuse the three names.
Ian nodded, and then he asked with some expectation: "Did you create me?"
Bruce and Clark were stunned for a moment.
Ian looked at them with bright eyes, as if expecting an answer.Under such gazes, Clark gradually lost ground, and quickly said, "Uh, it counts!"
Ian thought for a while and said, "Then are we family?"
Clark paused, and then exchanged eye contact with Bruce's pupils.
... This child won't treat them as parents!
So the question is, who is the father and who is the mother?
However, Ian was still waiting for an answer, and Clark could only say first: "Yes...we are family."
Bruce realized that the samurai was looking at him, and quickly added subconsciously: "Yeah."
...Although he didn't know why the samurai would suddenly say such words as "family", Bruce knew that the best way to do it now was to answer him according to his meaning.
After all, no one knows exactly what the warrior's mental state is now, and this is his dream, and all his actions may be affected by the warrior's own subjective wishes, or even the influence of the star nest on him.
Clark suddenly thought of a lot.
He remembered that when he was in Metropolis, he once told Ian that he already regarded him as family.
Could it be that what was said at the time affected Ian?Let him subconsciously think that they are family members even though his memory organs have been destroyed in the dream?
He might not even understand what the word "family" really means.
Clark suddenly felt very moved. Looking at Ian whose eyes seemed to be shining with gleams, he even wanted to go and hug him—even though he was still stained with the blood of the scavenger just now.
Bruce glanced at Clark, signaling him to get down to business with his eyes.
Clark, who received the partner signal, glanced at Bruce, bewildered.
Bruce choked on the look, and then turned back with a urging look.
Clark very stubbornly gave Bruce a look of "you can do it, you can do it, don't compare".
Bruce: ...
—Hell, how are the two of them going to explain this to a kid who can't remember anything now that he's dreaming?
In the end, Bruce bit the bullet and stepped forward. He took two steps forward, squatted down and looked at Ian, and said, "Wu... Ian, you need to wake up."
This straight-to-the-point statement made Ian very puzzled. After thinking about it, he said, "Am I asleep now?"
"That's right." Bruce was relieved to see that Ian seemed to be able to communicate normally, "You are in a dream, and you need to wake up."
Ian looked at him very confused, as if he was looking at a strange monster that appeared out of nowhere. He could understand every word that this familiar-looking guy said, but he didn't even know what it was. what do you mean.
When he woke up from the furnace of life, his mind was blank, he had no memory, and no cognition of the world, just like a blank sheet of paper.He watched everything that happened in the world as if he had no self-will, and he couldn't use logical thinking to connect everything together.
Until he saw Clark and Bruce.
He felt that there seemed to be something more in his mind, the basic cognition and underlying logic of the world began to be established, and some instincts rooted in his body were activated.
A thought began to slowly emerge in his mind.
——He seems to have seen these two people somewhere.
Therefore, without hesitation, he killed the scavenger who tried to hurt Clark. That is, at the moment when the tip of the knife pierced into the flesh, he once again awakened part of his memory and instinct.
It was the fighting instinct rooted in his flesh and soul.
He recovered all his battle memories almost instantly, and the sense of power filled his whole body again, and he immediately learned to use all his senses to perceive the world——
He can hear all the slight sounds of wind and grass, see the changes of every subtle light from a 360-degree perspective, and capture the different smells when hormones in any organism change.
This sense of control gave him a sense of security, and it was at its peak when he was with Bruce and Clark and heard them say the word "family."
Although Ian didn't understand what Bruce said for the time being, he thought that since they were family members, Bruce must be right.
So Ian said, "Okay, Bruce."
Bruce didn't expect the samurai to agree so simply, Clark was also a little surprised, the two looked at each other, and at the same time saw a look of relief in each other's eyes.
——How should I put it, you are worthy of being a member of Star Nest!
Although sometimes the means to achieve their goals are a bit unacceptable, but they never make people feel uncomfortable about right and wrong.To some extent, Star Nest is really reliable!
So the two, who were looking forward to returning to Earth in the blink of an eye, wandered in the universe for several hours, until Bruce's frigate ran out of fuel.
Nothing happened.
Bruce & Clark: ...
There was no expression on Bruce's face, but Clark could subtly see his speechlessness and the subtle desperation that was hard to detect when facing the cleared fuel depot.
Clark: "Uh...Ian is like this, don't mind. He may really not understand, and he didn't mean to perfuse you."
... Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice in the metropolis.
Bruce:?You are already used to it, right?
Originally, he thought that the courier was already young enough to be rebellious, but a singer came and directly refreshed the lower limit of Star Nest. Now it's alright, the co-author of the warrior is the worst kid, right?
What the hell is going on with your Star Nest!
