"Dr. Wen..." Although he could guess the reason why Jiutian had to fly here despite all his efforts, Thirty-three still showed a little hesitation after hearing this question.
"He's not in a good condition right now. I don't think it's the right time." Zhuo Lei also said.
"I know, I'll leave after returning the things to him." Jiutian can probably understand why.
"Are you sure?" Thirty-three asked.
"Um."
"Okay." She sighed, "Dr. Wen is underground."
"Underground?" Jiutian was stunned for a moment. His mental strength had not yet recovered. If he wanted to find someone, he could only rely on Thirty-Three and the others for guidance.
"I'll take you there after you rest for a while." Zhuo Lei said.
"Trouble." After saying that, Jiutian closed his eyes.
He really needs rest, both physically and mentally.
The long battle has consumed a lot of his will. If Sansan San and Zhuo Lei weren't by his side, he probably wouldn't have dared to let down his guard and meditate for a long time.
The moment he closed his eyes, Jiutian actually felt a little uneasy.
For some reason, he remembered the Cyclops he had seen in his dream. The giant walked through the long ruins, devouring everything in the world with tears.
He was afraid that he would see it again when he closed his eyes.
But fortunately, nothing happened.
Seeing Jiutian fall into a meditative state, Sansansan also turned to ask Zhuo Lei:
"What are you going to tell Eva?"
"Tell the truth." Zhuo Lei's expression did not change.
"more specific."
"Just tell her that everything is normal in Jiutian." Zhuo Lei thought for a while, "Whether what happened in Japan was Jiutian's fault may still need to be considered."
"We cannot rule out the possibility that remnants of the Star Reavers may have survived."
"What do you mean by telling the truth?" Thirty-three looked at him sideways.
"Otherwise?" Zhuo Lei said, "That's right. Jiutian himself admitted that he did it, but at that time he said he was unconscious and didn't know the specific situation?"
"Then he will fall from a hero to an enemy of the world."
After listening, Thirty-Three sighed again.
"What kind of medicine did this kid take by mistake? This is not how he wants to avenge China..."
"It probably has little to do with historical grudges." Zhuo Lei shook his head, "Maybe it has something to do with his own secret."
"Secret..." Thirty-three fell silent after hearing this.
She does know a lot of secrets about Jiutian. For example, when she was still in the inheritance space, she once felt that something was wrong with Jiutian, and why Feiya, the former Queen of the Zerg, took away the body of a human girl inexplicably and still listened to Jiutian like this.
God's words?
But there are too many people in this world who hold secrets, such as Dongfang Yi, Wen Xin, and the deceased Dongfang Yanie. No one knows where he discovered the spaceship.
Even Thirty-Three himself has a secret.
So she could also understand what Zhuo Lei said, but Jiutian... seemed to be tortured a lot by the so-called secret.
"Eva mainly wants to confirm whether Jiutian is stable, right? Now we can still use the excuse of Star Raider to get over it, but what about next time?" Thirty-three was a little worried.
"Do you believe him?" Zhuo Lei looked into Sansan's eyes.
"Of course." Thirty-three said without hesitation, "He is my brother."
"That's fine." Zhuo Lei nodded, "Me too, and I haven't known him as long as you."
"I can see the belief in Jiutian. Although he usually seems lazy, once he decides on something, he will never change it."
"I dare not say that he is a kind person, but he is definitely not a person without a bottom line."
"He was willing to risk his life to save the world instead of staying out of it. This alone speaks volumes."
"So I am willing to vouch for him."
"And if he loses control again...I will personally stop him or even kill him."
Zhuo Lei said firmly.
"What is 'I'?" Thirty-three was dissatisfied, "It's 'us'!"
"Next time when you are discussing who to kill, can you avoid the person involved?" Jiutian's voice came from behind the two of them.
"Are you feeling better so soon?" Thirty-three looked back and saw that he had already sat up.
"Well, let's fight quickly." Jiutian said, "Remember to be quick when you want to kill me."
"That's what we said. You won't really lose control in the future, right?" Thirty-three said.
"It's hard to say." Jiutian stretched, "But with you here, I can rest assured even if I lose control."
"You kid, please save me some time." Thirty-three said helplessly.
Jiutian smiled at her, then looked at Zhuo Lei and asked, "Let's go?"
"Okay, come with me." Zhuo Lei also pays attention to doing things vigorously and resolutely, and immediately walked out of the Capitol with Jiutian.
The rain in mid-air seemed to be getting lighter, and the birds on the trees beside the road were preening their feathers with their beaks.
The air after the rain is a bit fresh, and it smells much better compared to the bloody smell in Japan.
"We discovered the secret weapons depot of the United States under the Capitol. I mastered the equipment inside electronically and found the entrance by the way." Zhuo Lei explained as he walked, "After pressing the countdown button for the nuclear bomb explosion, we
So I went inside and tried to find more advanced communication equipment to restore contact with you."
"But as you know, it failed. It wasn't until Eva communicated with us that we roughly understood what happened."
"When you see Dr. Wen later... try not to irritate him."
"I know." Jiutian nodded.
"It's right here, go down." Zhuo Lei walked to a lawn in front of the Capitol and stopped.
As if something was triggered, the sound of mechanical rotation was heard, and then a round metal door hidden under the lawn slowly opened.
"I'll just stay outside. If you need anything, call me anytime." Zhuo Lei warned.
"Thank you." After Jiutian finished speaking, he took a deep breath and entered through the entrance.
The entrance passage to this hidden underground facility is almost vertical, and it seems very inconvenient to enter and exit. It should be to prevent too frequent movement of people. After all, the independence of such a place that is a national secret must be guaranteed.
However, this so-called "state secret" is nothing in front of a slightly higher level of evolution.
The whole space was very dark, and the surrounding environment could only be seen clearly through the warning lights on the wall.
The first thing that catches the eye are the glass display windows, each displaying various weird prototypes developed by American scientists.
In order to prevent documents from being leaked, all kinds of information here are in paper form and neatly placed in the surrounding walls.
The floor under your feet is made of high-strength glass, and you can see various conditions underground. Then in the dim light for a long time, you can vaguely see that there are many glass jars on the lower layer. There are unknown liquids in the jars, soaked in various creatures.
limbs.
Some creatures have not even been heard of for a long time.
However, he didn't come here to explore this, so his eyes easily fell on the haggard and hunched back not far away.
Compared with the last time she saw him, Wen Xin seemed to have aged 30 years.
Originally, his gray hair was only mixed with some white hair, but now it has turned completely white.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Jiutian was shocked when he saw his current appearance.
Deep wrinkles appeared on his tarnished skin, dark circles filled his eye sockets, and bags hung from his eyelids.
This does not look like a middle-aged man, he is clearly a dying old man.
The moment she saw Jiutian, Wen Xin's body trembled.
The two people just looked at each other.
"...Dr. Wen." Jiutian spoke first.
But Wen Xin just looked at him without saying a word.
Jiutian lowered his head, like a prisoner being interrogated.
"Why is that you?"
Finally, after staring at the sky for a long time, Wen Xin spoke, and his voice became as old and withered as his appearance.
"Why are you the one who survived?"
After Jiutian heard this, he thought for a while and then said:
"I also want to know why I am the one who survived?"
"Perhaps I am the one who should least survive."
The sequelae caused by the depletion of mental power appeared at this moment. After all, Jiutian managed to fly across the entire Pacific Ocean, and his vision began to become a little blurry, but he still worked hard to maintain consciousness.
"But things are developing in this direction. I watched Yunyun die in front of my eyes but I couldn't do anything about it."
"I hope it's her who's standing in front of you right now, not me."
"Then you go and die." Wen Xin's tone was extremely sarcastic, "I keep saying that I hope she survives, not you, so why don't you go and die? It's not because you are a survivor, so you can say whatever you want."
"What? It's not enough to survive on Yunyun's behalf? Do you want to come back and show off your justice in front of me again?"
Wen Xin's extremely sharp words were like a knife that cut deeply into Jiutian's blood-soaked heart, to the point of completely bombarding it to pieces.
"I'm sorry, I can't die just yet." Jiutian showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "because she extended my life."
"If I die, then everything she did will be meaningless."
"That's why I have to live..."
After hearing this, Wen Xin's body couldn't stop shaking.
"Go away..." Wen Xin said tremblingly.
"Dr. Wen..."
"Get out!!!" Wen Xin roared like a dying lion.
Jiutian pursed his lips.
The silver stream of light faded from his right wrist, and was then lifted to the center of his palm.
Jiutian glanced at the bracelet for the last time, and then gently placed it on the ground.
"I'm sorry, the purpose of my coming to see you this time is to return this."
"excuse me."
After saying that, Jiutian bowed to Wen Xin, then turned and left.
Listening to the stumbling steps getting further and further away, Wen Xin slowly looked at the bracelet that was quietly shining on the ground.
He personally put this bracelet on Wen Yunyun's wrist, and Wen Yunyun gave it to Jiutian.
Finally, Jiutian put it back in front of Wen Xin, completing its mission and cycle.
Wen Xin had already thought about how to die.
After losing his beloved wife, he lost his daughter, and the world no longer meant anything to him.
But after hearing Jiutian say: "If I die, then everything she did will be meaningless," he saw the bracelet again.
As far as the eye can see, the flashing silver light is like stars in the sky.
