Not Cold [Interstellar]
Chapter 88: StoryAfterwordA
The author has something to say:
I made a 10,000 words for the fan, and collected it to 300,000 to end it, auspicious.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
In terms of age, Xuan Mian and Zhong Yue are actually not much different in age.
However, Zhong Yue's aura is extraordinary, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance. Even if he does not recognize his identity, no one will underestimate him if he is judged only from his appearance.
Xuan Mian is the opposite, he looks like an older child.
There are probably several reasons. One is because in this era, popular gene therapy slows down the aging of human beings, the other is because of Xuan Mian's natural character, and the third is because he is indeed well protected and has not experienced any evil.
But sometimes, growing up is such a moment.
Xuan Mian learned more details of his father's death from his mother. He hadn't had time to ask about this history that had been covered in dust for many years. Successive accidents followed, leaving him almost no time to stay in place.
He witnessed the storm of Desolate Star and guessed Lan's life experience.
Then he was forced to keep this secret, and watched Lan lead his partner into the folding space and traded his life for the safety of humanity.
He didn't expect that such a sacrifice, only after a month, would not attract many people's attention.
There have been too many things, and this once vigorous thing has gradually been forgotten.
Xuan Mian began to feel that he was like an antique left in a corner, insisting on a promise that no one would like or know about.
He lay in bed every night and would take the option "Tell Zhong Yue and Ke Wei that Lan is their biological son" out to consider several times, and then press it after hesitating for a long time.
Then he thought about it again. If he completely ignored the boss's military order, he would directly launch a missile in private to explode a cosmic crack, control the level to avoid black holes, and create conditions for Lan to return... the actual operational feasibility of this hypothesis.
After going back and forth several times, after most of the night passed, he struggled to fall asleep again.
Xuan Mian still didn't dare to tell the truth, because he agreed to Lan.
He was afraid that he would miss the appointment. Once Lan became angry, he would really not come back.
He thought, Lan has a good temper and rarely gets angry. I saw everyone smiling and handsome, handsome, cute, and likable.
Weiyu laughed at this first, and Lan didn't know who she looked like.
Zhong Yue became the commander-in-chief of the three armies and became very busy.
Ke Wei is preparing to run for the pope. In the words of Father Hoshalen, after he returned to the Holy See, his body began to be full of hypocritical politicians.
Xuan Mian didn't think that when he was seeking his position, he didn't think that Ke Wei had done too much. In Xuanmian's eyes, Ke Wei is a sincere person. In this regard, Lan's character is very similar to him.
Everyone is very busy, and Xuanmian has a lot to do.
He knew that he could do a lot of things in his hands. It was definitely a very irrational decision to spend all his energy studying how to delay the replication of Zerg genes and to wait for a Zhong Lan who would never come back.
His boss is reasonable enough. Although Zhong Yue hasn't said anything yet, how long can he tolerate Xuanmian's self-willed stubbornness?
His father's death is closely related to the key fragments. There are several fragments lying quietly in his laboratory. One of them was still held by his father.
He thought, maybe in a few days, he should devote part of his energy to research this project.
When he had this idea, he felt like a knife in his heart, cutting blunt pain bit by bit.
If he is gone, who else will remember Lan?
At this time, it was as if a **** had heard his prayer.
The entrance to the folding space reopened on its own.
Upon learning this news, all the troops who stayed to garrison the Wild Star were shocked.
In theory, a closed channel will not open again.
Xuan Mian wondered for a few seconds before he was sure that this entrance was not made by putting the hypothesis of thinking day and night into reality when he was sleepwalking.
Xuan Mian rushed to the command room and saw abnormal data continuously displayed on the instrument. He waited restlessly from morning to night.
The abnormal activity became more intense, and finally in the middle of the night, the entrance to the folding space was completely opened once, and the first dilapidated spaceship floated out.
The stationed troops cheered in unison and organized the rescue force as quickly as possible.
Xuan Mian boarded the rescue team personally, his heart almost beating out of his chest.
For such a short distance, he urged faster and faster.
They finally approached the spaceship, but found a Zerg in the damaged spaceship.
Part of the bug was trapped in the pilot's safety device, but the people in the spacecraft were nowhere to be seen.
After scanning and confirming that there were no humans, the rescue team immediately turned around and left, and called for reinforcements from the army at the same time. The warship drove over and wiped out the bug.
The little hope in Xuan Mian's heart was blown away, leaving nothing but emptiness.
The garrisoned army was silent, and the silent disappointment shrouded everyone's heart.
Xuan Mian reported the results to Zhong Yue, but something happened to the Holy See, and Zhong Yue did not reply to the instructions immediately.
When Xuan Mian returned to the warship for re-testing, several key data had been stabilized.
Xuan Mian didn't take it lightly. He gave an order: "Keep people here and keep a close watch 24 hours a day."
Later proved that his judgment was very wise.
Because in the early morning of one day after half a month, the warship once again sounded the alarm and the entrance was opened for the second time.
After the unstable index flashed for a while, two escape pods floated out of the entrance again.
The army was on guard, and the rescue team hurried over.
This time there is finally good news!
One escape pod was damaged, and the people inside were nowhere to be seen, while the other escape pod was barely intact, and the people in it were still alive when they were rescued.
It's just—not Lan.
The man was sent to the operating room for first aid, but three hours later, all the medical staff withdrew and a group of soldiers entered with guns.
During the rescue process, his vital signs dropped sharply, which stimulated the rapid awakening of the Zerg genes in his body, causing him to be Zergized on the spot.
Xuan Mian didn't even have a chance to ask about the whereabouts of the rest of him and Zhong Lan.
He reported the information to Zhong Yue and continued to wait.
He waited for half a year.
During that six months, Xuan Mian suffered from insomnia almost every night.
He always heard the alarm and rushed into the command room in the middle of the night. In reality, however, the alarm for monitoring space anomalies has only sounded six times in total.
However, he rushed into the command room countless times, ready to go to rescue with the team as soon as possible.
Xuan Mian intercepted spacecraft fragments, damaged escape capsules, and two alienated zergs at the entrance, but never saw a living person again.
With the passage of time, this space with repeated abnormalities seems to have finally returned to stability.
It has been four and a half months, there is no abnormality in the space, and that unpredictable entrance seems to never open again.
Zhong Yue once again proposed to let Xuan Mian return to Ai Bino. Xuan Mian was silent for a long time this time.
He said to Zhong Yue: "Boss, let me stay for another month."
Zhong Yue looked at him without speaking.
Xuan Mian said, "I beg you, the last month."
Zhong Yue hung up the communication and acquiesced to his plea.
That month passed quickly, and for the last three days, Xuan Mian heard the alarm again in the middle of the night.
He hadn't determined whether it was his own illusion or reality, so he rushed into the command room.
When Xuan Mian boarded the rescue team, he saw the entrance opened for the seventh time and when an escape pod floated out, he thought he was dreaming. This was just a scene that would appear in countless dreams.
So when the escape capsule was salvaged, Xuan Mian went to confirm his identity, but he didn't even reflect it for a while.
Zhong Lan in the escape capsule closed his eyes, as if he had seen countless times in his dreams, An Ran seemed to fall asleep.
Until the cheers around him brought his knowledge back to the world: "Dr. Xuan, what should we do!? What should we do!?"
Xuan Mian heard his own voice and said: "Immediately rescue, send the video I recorded in advance to the boss and Ke Wei-tell them to come right away."
The sergeant who came to ask for instructions saw that Xuan Mian was still calm and calm at this time, and couldn't help but admire secretly.
He didn't know that half of Xuan Mian's soul was floating in the sky, and half of his soul was roasting on the frying pan uneasy. No one knew his boiling pain.
Although Zhong Lan was still alive, his injuries were serious. An alloy catheter from the cabin was inserted into his heart without delay.
Xuan Mian was not a medical staff, but he also changed into a sterile suit, drilled into the operating room, and followed the rescue throughout the whole process.
Zhong Lan had multiple comminuted fractures in his limbs, and he could barely see under the knee of his left leg. In addition to the shocking alloy catheter on his chest, there are also several pieces of broken alloy inserted into his abdominal cavity, and the injury is very dangerous.
When opening his escape pod, he will immediately enter a critically ill state from a static state where all physiological functions are suspended.
Xuan Mian looked pale as the doctor unsealed the escape capsule. After Zhong Lan was released from the escape capsule, when the open-cavity operation was performed almost simultaneously, Zhong Lan's vital signs immediately dropped sharply, and many indicators had already lit red.
Zhong Lan was still in a coma, but his eyebrows were twisted together, which seemed to be extremely painful.
And he removed the blood rushing out of his chest, and his short black hair, in just a few breaths, already had a calm and touching grayish-white color.
Xuan Mian was stunned for only a second before guessing what was happening. He rushed out of the operating room and carried in his new invention.
Xuan Mian connected his instrumental invention to Zhong Lan's body, and after a while, he measured his gene breakdown value.
His human genes are only 75%.
"……how so?"
Xuan Mian clearly remembered that he had talked with Christine at the time, and Christine had told him exactly that Lan was the only one of them who maintained more than 90% of human genes.
The doctor pulled out the metal catheter from the heart, and the doctor next to him immediately rescued it.
Xuan Mian could hardly stand up seeing the wound exposed to the air.
He told himself that Lan went to the farthest boundary in the folding space and completed the most difficult task, and he was the one most likely not to return.
But he is back, and he will definitely survive this operation.
Three minutes later, a doctor's voice sounded: "His heart has stopped, ready to..."
Xuan Mian didn't actually hear what was said later.
His eyes stopped on the genetic monitor. 74%, 73%.
The rocket dropped as fast as that value, and after a minute, it fell below 60%.
Before the doctor had time to perform the first cardiac resuscitation, Zhong Lan's stopped heart was already beating again.
At the same time, his human genes quickly collapsed, and the color of his hair and eyebrows became lighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just like the silent white at the end of Zergization, the hair hardly has any color.
The doctors have already begun to panic. They clearly remember what happened to the only person who was rescued a few months ago.
Xuan Mian heard a doctor's trembling voice: "His wound is healing by itself!"
Another doctor ran to grab the communicator, and said in fear: "The patient has become zergized. Ask for military support—"
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Mian, who rushed over, grabbed the collar severely.
"The patient has no problem. If there is an abnormal situation, I will personally issue instructions!"
Xuan Mian fell back to the communicator, and the baby's face showed an expression of anger and prestige: "Now, go back to me and continue to rescue!"
Under the coercion of Xuan Mian, the doctors performed an open cavity operation to remove the fragments.
61%, 60%, 59%.
The vital signs of Zhong Lan's body have returned quickly, at the cost of his collapsed human genes.
The doctors opened his abdominal cavity and removed the fragments, without even re-suturing the wound, and the wound closed and grew on its own.
When Xuan Mian looked at the gene detection meter again, his human genes were almost below 50%.
According to Christine's statistics, when the human gene drops to 40%, it will begin to be completely zergized.
His wound healed on its own, and the doctors fled the operating room in fear.
Only Xuan Mian stood by his operating bed and said to him: "Zhong Lan! You hold on to me!"
50%, 49%, 48%.
Zhong Lan was still in a coma, muttering unconsciously: "Brother."
Xuan Mian held his hand: "Your brother Zhong Han is fine, you wake up!"
"... Silently."
Xuan Mian felt the weird touch on the palm of his hand. He removed his hand and saw the insect scales quickly emerging on the back of Zhong Lan's hand. He took a deep breath: "Mo Bai left you a lot of money. You are a rich man! Hold on. You have to survive and spend them all!"
"dad……"
"They are already on their way here!...No, no! Don't drop it anymore."
46%, 45%, 44%.
When Xuan Mian saw the sergeant who was heavily armed and rushed into the operating room, he immediately jumped on and blocked Zhong Lan with his body.
Xuan Mian said angrily: "What are you doing? Get out of me!"
"Dr. Xuan! Calm down, don't be arrogant! Please leave here immediately, he is already Zergized!"
Before Xuan Mian could reply, a cold hand grabbed Xuan Mian's arm from behind.
"Help Dr. Xuan!"
Xuan Mian shouted angrily: "No shooting is allowed!!!"
"Don't kill me, I can rescue it again..."
Zhong Lan grabbed Xuan Mian's arm, and a weak voice came from behind him: "I...it hurts... Dr. Xuan, can you give me more anesthetics?"
After 12 hours, Zhong Lan was finally pushed out of the rescue room.
When Xuan Mian came out, he couldn't stand it anymore. He held on to Zhong Lan's bed for a few more hours. After confirming that Zhong Lan's condition had not deteriorated, he finally fainted with his eyes closed.
When he woke up again, Xuan Mian found that he was being carried on his back.
In front of him was a gorgeous and heavy Vatican dress, and he smelled the fragrance of herbs between his nose.
So Xuan Mian said: "Ke Wei."
Ke Wei said, still carrying him steadily, and continued to walk forward.
"Lan... how is he?"
Ke Wei whispered: "Everything is fine for him. Xuanmian, the bad thing is you now. Take a good rest."
Xuan Mian reacted stupidly for a long time before he laughed, "Where is the boss?"
"Zhong Yue will take a while. I inspected the diocese in the north. The distance is closer than him, and the arrival is faster."
Xuan Mian struggled for a while: "Pope, don't carry me. I'm much better already and can go by myself."
Ke Wei stopped, but didn't let him go.
Ke did not speak again, but choked up: "...Xuan Mian, thank you."
"Thank you for not giving up on him... Thank you for waiting for him to the last moment, Lan... Xuan Mian, thank you..."
