Is it because he is separated from his friends despite facing a powerful enemy?
Or was it that he saw the clues right ahead, but was stopped by Orcius with his hand? Or maybe it was because his fate and the future of his companions were at stake at this time, but he could only do nothing?
Yu Yuan has always been calm, strong and determined, and can still control himself even in the darkest and gloomiest moments; but at this moment, he can feel that his emotions are like the sea before the storm. I don't know when, this dark
The surface of the water would be completely overturned and shattered, creating rough waves that even he had never seen before.
He clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and tried to flatten the turbulent black waves again.
After he felt his mood calm down a bit, he looked out the window of the spaceship again.
As if realizing that the trap had been discovered, the dark clouds outside also gave up their disguise - wherever there was glass or cracks, thick layers of billowing smoke-gray clouds could be seen, still slowly squeezing into the ship.
Come.
Jumping off the ship is no longer possible; we can only find a way to destroy these clouds, right?
"...So, the reason why these clouds and mist flow into the spacecraft seems to be to force us to jump off the ship and jump into the trap." The pilot seemed not to notice Yu Yuan's emotional ups and downs, and said thoughtfully: "However, we all
We discovered the trap, why is the cloud and mist flowing in so slowly?"
What, do you still want it to fill the whole ship quickly?
Yu Yuan was stabbed by a sharp irritation in his heart and almost let out these words - fortunately, he stopped himself in time. In secret surprise, he said as calmly as possible: "...how do I know?"
...Although he has calmed down a bit, he still falls into the category of being anxious and impatient.
The driver raised his head and glanced at him, finally noticing.
"Don't worry, I know you must be anxious. We can find a way step by step and we can always get out." He thought for a while and advised in a comforting way. "I wonder... maybe the speed of these clouds and mist is not the same.
It’s just so slow. Otherwise, why would we be forced to jump ship? Just wrap it up in one go.”
Yu Yuan secretly felt a little ashamed and said, "That makes sense...let me try to see if I can destroy them."
The driver was not the only one with an arsenal of weapons; Yu Yuan pulled out a long weapon that looked like a flamethrower from the holding props, and pointed its "mouth" at the clouds covering the window. After a pause,
He said: "But, I can't guarantee your spaceship..."
"It's okay," the driver said immediately.
Yu Yuan raised the weapon again. It can destroy and cut off the connection between the target molecules, and generate a force of deviation between the molecules, so that the target - whether it is a person or an object - is no longer the same as before.
A target; the light emitted by such a powerful weapon is gentle and gentle, like candlelight shining on clouds and mist.
When Yu Yuan pressed the switch, another thought came to his mind.
When he boarded the ship, didn't the pilot still hope to earn an extra ticket? How could a man who seemed to care about money suddenly become so ruthless that he could even sacrifice the spaceship?
As soon as Yu Yuan thought about it, he suddenly felt displeased with it - because he had always been unwilling to make excuses and suspect someone of stealing an axe.
Besides, from another perspective, this change is too normal; after all, the choice is between life and property, and anyone who is not greedy knows which is more important.
"Be careful!" the pilot suddenly shouted, which shocked Yu Yuan. He looked up quickly and found that the light outlet of his weapon was very close to the smoke-gray cloud. He quickly turned off the switch and quickly moved it away from the cloud.
He moved it away - luckily he moved it in time and didn't get the kind of cloud that couldn't be wiped off.
"I didn't move." Yu Yuan looked between the two repeatedly, "Is the cloud and mist drifting over?"
"It's not impossible to say that it floated over..." The driver's face looked a little solemn. "But I have been staring at this cloud from the side, wanting to see if it can be destroyed like this. For a few seconds
It didn't change even as the clock ticked, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly thickened, so it got closer to you."
"What you want to say is..." Yu Yuan frowned, "More clouds and mist flowed in from outside?"
"It shouldn't be." The driver seemed to be very confused. "The speed of the clouds and mist flowing in has been very stable, and there is no sudden increase. It's still the same logic. If it can expand rapidly in a short period of time, why didn't it swallow us up in one bite?
Already?"
What's going on? Could it be that the means of destruction actually stimulated the expansion of the clouds?
Yu Yuan forcibly swallowed his anxiety and disappointment, unwilling to open his mouth when he was in a bad mood, lest he say something he would regret. One thing can be seen, that is, this long molecular gun should not be used much.
It was of use; he put it away again and looked around the cabin.
His eyes were fixed on the far wall.
When that realization came into his mind, Yu Yuan almost thought for a moment that the cabin board under his feet was broken, and he was falling straight down - he thought for a moment, steadied himself, and then spoke in a low voice.
Mouth: "...I understand."
"What?"
"Look," Yu Yuan raised his chin towards the cabin in the distance. "That knife you threw over."
There was a little cloud on the tip of the knife, and the pilot put the knife and the cloud back into the scabbard and threw it into the corner of the spacecraft; since then, Yu Yuan noticed it for the first time - because there was a
Something that shouldn't exist caught his eye.
At this moment, the top of the scabbard was also trapped in a fist-sized cloud.
"How..." The driver was startled, and just as he was about to walk up to take a look, he stopped again.
"That cloud is much bigger than the one you stuck on the knife before, isn't it? There is no cloud or mist flowing to it nearby, so where did the extra cloud come from?" Yu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Moreover,
It should be in the scabbard—"
The driver also thought about it, turned around, and said with surprise: "Could it be..."
Yu Yuan nodded. "I'm afraid anything touched by the cloud will also turn into a cloud and continue to erode the surrounding items."
"So, when you shined the light on the clouds and fog just now..." the driver whispered: "The reason why an extra layer of clouds suddenly appeared and almost hit your light outlet is because the light also changed.
It has become a cloud."
It doesn’t just turn into clouds and mist; because light is continuous, after turning into clouds, it also follows the original path and "reverses" - when Yu Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy and scared, and reached out to pat the driver's hand.
Shoulder, said: "Thank you for reminding me...I was distracted for a moment just now. If it weren't for you, Yunwu might have touched my gun, or even me."
Even if he is in trouble, he finally has a companion who can trust his back and life into his hands.
"We are supposed to take care of each other." The driver nodded, still seeming to be a little confused. "Even light can be turned into clouds... So what else can we do to destroy it?"
"Wind?" After he finished speaking, he shook his head again and whispered: "No, we can't reach the window anymore. What if the wind blows the clouds all over the ship..."
What's more, there is no shortage of wind in the sky, and the spacecraft was still caught by this large cloud.
In the next hour—one hour? Two hours? Yu Yuan couldn’t tell—the two of them tried every means and guess they could think of.
The flow of clouds and mist was slow and unhurried, as if it had a natural confidence in swallowing the two of them, eroding the spacecraft bit by bit; any "damage" that the two of them could inflict on the clouds and mist would take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes of calm.
After a period of time, it will suddenly turn into a new cloud and fog - no matter cutting off, freezing, sealing, burning, etc.... they can't reduce the cloud and fog even one bit.
When the two of them ran out of ideas, the entire cockpit had turned into a cloud of mist, making it impossible for anyone to get in.
They sat in the passenger seat area. For a long time, no one spoke or moved as the dark clouds gradually surrounded them. What was originally a "short break" turned into a sleepy and sad seat with no energy left.
In front of the spacecraft, on the ceiling, and on the walls of the ship that were hit by clouds from the outside, there were thick clouds spreading and spreading in all directions. The speed of the clouds remained unchanged, occupying every inch of the spacecraft step by step, indifferent and calm.
Waiting for the moment to touch the two of them.
Gradually, the safe space for the two of them became smaller and smaller, until they had to sit side by side, huddled in the last small piece of open space without clouds, unable to even raise their heads - because the sky was already heavy.
Full of clouds.
It's impossible... There is a way of life and a way of death in the world; there is hope, and there is also despair.
He couldn't leave from here, Yu Yuan came up with this idea. He was in a desperate situation, and he did everything he could, but it still didn't help... This seemed to be the first time in his life that he met a real, complete person.
despair.
This emotion was so strong that it made his whole body relax, as if every muscle was facing death first; his body was almost calm, and his mind gradually slipped into the dark abyss.
I am so reluctant, but there is no other way.
"Yu Yuan," the driver called softly.
Yu Yuan didn't move at all.
He was struggling all his life, but he didn't know that he would end up trapped in the clouds. In such a desperate last moment, he only had one trustworthy companion left, and he had nothing to hold on to -
At this moment, Yu Yuan felt something touch the back of his neck. As if he was hallucinating, a distant, angry man's voice passed by his ear: "Let me see
Who touched you!"
Immediately, the touch on his neck and the sound in his ears disappeared.
Yu Yuan slowly turned his head towards the driver.
