26. Farewell speech【31/100】
Three more days later, Carol finally cleaned up the remains of the orbit around the earth.
Most of them were pushed to the sun by her. The super stove would completely burn the wreckage. A small number of those with research value were sent back to Earth by Carol, who was said to have been hidden in a secret place for scientists to recover new technology from it.
Carol returned to Massachusetts alone on the last day, where she was born and raised. That place is now a confidential place for the Strategic Crisis Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Department, with only a few agents knowing the secret.
At midnight, Carol flew to Louisiana with some gifts for the children and stayed with his good friend Maria and the little girl Monica overnight.
When dawn arrived, she returned to Marvel's laboratory, and the Scolut refugees led by Taros had already debugged the photon engine.
They are going to set off.
Leave the Milky Way forever and never come back.
Carol Danvers will serve as their accompanying security personnel to help Taros gather his scattered compatriots in the Milky Way and be responsible for sending them to an unknown new home.
This is the new life Carol found for himself. No one knows how long this road is, so everyone can give her only blessings.
"You'll be back eventually, right?"
Nick Fury stood behind Carol with his hands on his back, and said in a low tone:
"This is your home after all."
"Of course, Fury."
Carol placed his salute in his cabin, and she looked back at Fury. The agent's left eye, bandage and black eye mask formed an unignorable feature. He had just been discharged from the hospital and was still a little weak now.
but
"The new clothes are good, Fury."
Carol looked at Fury's solemn and cool black long windbreaker, as well as brand new black land combat boots on his feet, and paired with a black turtleneck sweater and combat uniform pants, which made the black agent unexpectedly have a solemn temperament.
"You think it's good, right?"
Fury spread his hands and looked down at his new "uniform", he said:
"I just received this dress this morning, and I like it very much. Merlin went to London yesterday and he brought it back to me. That guy is pretty good and brought gifts to everyone."
"Yeah?"
When Carol's expression changed slightly when he heard Merlin's name. She hadn't seen Merlin these days, and she didn't know what he was busy with.
“Aggressive”
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. With a knock on the door, Meilin, carrying a small bag, walked into the room. Fury looked at Carol with his one-eye, and then looked at Meilin. He felt that there must be something to say between the two of them, so he found a reason and quickly left here.
But after Fury left, the room was still calm.
“That night”
Merlin asked hesitantly, but Carol raised her head and said expressionlessly:
"Forget it, it's just that we're drunk."
"All right."
Merlin shrugged, and he handed Carol the small bag in his hand, who took it in his hand, glanced and found that it was a woman's black flight jacket, and the Kerry neck guard she used to save Merlin's life in the previous battle.
"I want to give you some gifts."
Merlin explained:
"We all do this on Earth. If a friend wants to leave, he has to give him a gift. But I don't know what you like, so I can only buy one casually."
Carol took out the black jacket from the bag, she spread it out, and although she didn't try it on, she could tell at a glance that it was definitely not "just" Merlin bought it.
Because it fits so well.
It should have been made by him.
But Carol did not point out the secret. She did not say anything, but folded her jacket and put it back into the closet in the cabin. Merlin said behind her:
"There is a magic pocket sewn in the left pocket of the clothes. It can hold a lot of things, but don't try to put a car in, it has weight limits."
"The clothes don't need to be washed, and you don't have to worry about damage. They will automatically recover. You can wear them across the Milky Way, and maybe I can see them when you come back."
"And that neck guard, I think you might need it, so I washed it."
"I don't need it, Merlin."
Carol took the red neck guard out of his pocket, and the thing was like a thin collar without activation. She threw the neck guard back to Merlin, and she said expressionlessly:
"After the energy awakening, I can already breathe in space. Take it, you need it more than I do."
"Well."
Merlin looked at the neck protection in his hand and said:
“This thing is designed for women, and it doesn’t suit me very well.”
"No, it's an item created by the Kerry Legion for secret operations. It's like my battle uniform, it can change its appearance."
Carol stood up and took the neck guard off Merlin's hand. She placed it on the controller of her wrist and pressed it twice, and the collar-like neck guard quickly changed its shape.
It turned into a necklace, and under the fine silver chains, there was a sapphire-like pendant.
Carol reached out and put the pendant around Merlin's neck, then took a step back, looked at it with his waist, and nodded:
"Not bad, it's perfect for you."
Merlin stretched out his finger and pointed it on the pendant. The next moment, he hung it and changed rapidly, forming a semi-covered facial armor on his face, which was no longer the same helmet style as before.
The extended, blue, glass-like respirator covered his nostrils, mouth, and most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes.
This made Merlin look like a secret ninja.
“It’s really good.”
Merlin looked in the mirror, and he tapped his neck, and the armor disappeared again and returned to a silver pendant.
This is a product of technology, but it looks as magical as a magical creation.
He wanted to turn around and say goodbye to Carol, but at this moment, his arms were holding his waist from behind, Carol put his head on Merlin's shoulder, and she whispered:
"I'm leaving, maybe I won't come back in more than ten years. Remember to take good care of myself. If possible, find a woman who is more suitable for you, and don't always live so lonely."
"besides"
Carol lowered his voice, and she said in a whispering voice:
"Your existence is not accidental, Merlin."
"I can't tell you more, but I hope you can remember that no matter what bad things you will experience in the future, no matter how many troubles you will encounter in the future, promise me that Merlin will never forget who you are, and never make a decision that will make you regret for your life."
Merlin felt something was in Carol's words, but he did not continue to ask.
He reached out and patted Carol on the shoulder, he said:
"the same as you."
"When you return to Earth, remember to contact me. We are um, better friends than friends, right?"
—
Merlin walked out of Carol's room and followed the straight passage to the laboratory's podium.
The Scoru Taros, who had changed into uniforms, was undergoing the final flight test here. Several Scoru soldiers were guarding the surroundings. When they saw Merlin, they put down their weapons and made way for him.
The earthlings in front of them have helped them.
Although the Scru people had a bad reputation in the Milky Way, they also regained their ancient virtues after they decided to leave the war.
Thank you, this is the emotion that all intelligent life will have.
"Agent Merlin, haven't you gone down to have a meal?"
Taros said while busy debugging the equipment:
"Ms. Maria and Little Monica were going to have a farewell dinner with us, and they even brought food from the house, which was very rich."
"I'm here to say goodbye, Taros."
Merlin said to the Scolukan in front of him:
"I still have work on Earth, so I won't bother you anymore. I will return to Earth with Fury in a while."
Hearing this, Taros stopped debugging the equipment. He put down the tools in his hand and looked back at Merlin. He thought for a while and said:
"I just told Agent Frey something, and I think I should remind you too."
The Scruy's expression became serious, he said:
"You know something about the Scru people. We have a queen and some warlike compatriots who are busy fighting against the Kerry people now and have no time to care about the solar system at the edge of the Milky Way. But you have to know, Merlin, the war will not be stalemate. The war will always end and there will always be a winner."
Taros looked back at the blue earth and said with some concern:
"In my estimate of the current situation, the Kerry who had lost the highest wisdom would probably go crazy. They might try to end the war in the shortest time to handle their internal affairs. That is, the Queen faction of the Scru people may face a terrible blow, and they may very likely fail, but they will not just give up."
"I know the thoughts of my fellow countrymen. People who are trapped in war need strength too much, so they will abandon a lot of reason. Once the news of the failure of the Crystals on Earth spreads, it is hard to say what my fellow countrymen will do."
Taros looked back at Merlin, his eyes pounding with warning light, he said:
"I think you should be prepared in advance."
"Once the Queen decides to launch another civilized subversion war, with the power of your current political system and civilization, there is almost no way to resist."
Merlin's face changed slightly, and he looked at Taros:
“Is there any way to prevent it?”
“That’s the problem.”
Taros picked up the tool again, and he said sadly:
"No."
"If you want to avoid such things, you can only rely on luck. Maybe now, there are already lurking Queen spies on Earth. If those elite spies want to penetrate a civilization, it will be difficult for me to distinguish their disguise."
"After all, our ability is really suitable for this."
"Is there any way to see through you?"
Merlin asked another question, but suddenly he realized that there was no answer to this question.
Taros betrayed his queen in order to find a new home that is not affected by war, but he will not risk the extinction of his race and expose the greatest weakness of his own group to others.
Merlin shouldn't have asked this question at all. There is no answer. At least there is no answer to it in Taros.
"All right."
Merlin nodded and said to Taros:
"Thank you for your reminder, my friend. I wish you all the best and finally find a perfect new home."
Taros smiled and opened his arms at Merlin, as if he wanted to give Merlin a hug. Merlin hesitated for a moment, but walked forward and hugged the tall guy.
Taros patted Merlin on the back, and at the moment he was about to part, he suddenly whispered:
"The Scluts' disguise can penetrate into the DNA level, but it is still not omnipotent."
"Remember, Meilin, fakes are always fakes"
“100% perfect disguise does not exist.”
After saying that, Taros let go of Merlin. He waved to Merlin friendly, as if saying goodbye. After watching Merlin leave, Taros began to debug the equipment again.
The Scru will soon take their relatives and friends away from the war.
This is the last thing he could do for this world that helped him before he left his armor and returned to his fields.
He told Merlin about the Scolus' greatest weakness, although in a form similar to a riddle.
Is this a betrayal of one's own race?
Maybe
"Swoosh"
Marvel's laboratory in orbit around the earth activated the photon engine. On the modified plane driven by Maria Rambo, Merlin and Fury watched the laboratory in front of him twist and lengthen in an instant, and then suddenly disappeared among the dead stars at the next moment.
They are gone.
She left.
This made Meilin feel a little lost, but soon, he adjusted his emotions.
He looked back at Fury, who was fiddling with a weird bp machine, and he said:
"Are you ready? Fury"
"You promised me that you took us to rebuild S.H.E.L.D.."
Chapter completed!
