Chapter 15: Midnight alert

123 days, 12 hours, 07 minutes and 21 seconds;

20 seconds;

19 seconds;

18 seconds;

…

This countdown looks stressful, but it's actually just a reminder of how long

he can live "for the time being".

If the due maintenance is done before the end of the countdown, the number

will be swiped back to the initial value and the countdown will start again.

If the countdown cannot be saved in time within 24 hours after the countdown

is cleared, then the word "temporarily" should be removed forever, and the

moment of clearing will become the real end of Trus's life.

This device has been in Chus's body for many years.

The two-week vacation in the Black Cedarwood Villa every year is to do the

normal maintenance of this device to ensure that for the next six months,

Truss can still exist in this world vigorously.

When first embedding this thing, Truss protested with the technical doctor and

asked, "Can this thing be made a little more humane? For example, if you let

the countdown to this ** go away, those who don’t know thought me. I’m

engaged in a human bomb. Once I opened this door, it kept ticking and ticking,

do you hear that?"

The technical doctor is named Shao Dun, who belongs to the highest-ranking

Baiying Military Hospital. He is an authoritative expert in the field of

intelligent mechanical treatment and an old man who fights wits and courage

with patients all the time.

Old Doctor Shao has always implemented the "three ununification" policy for

patients like Chief Chu who look good at talking nonsense all the time—

Don't behave, don't give a good face, don't be forced, and reject all of them.

At that time, Chief Chu's left body still had a serious rejection reaction to

the intelligent machine. Hemorrhage, allergies and high fever were alternated.

The gauze in his eyes had just been unwrapped for a long time. Before the

person was out of the dangerous period, he chose three against the treatment

machine. Pick four.

With a straight face, Old Doctor Shao instructed the little nurse next to him

to give Chu Si an injection, while staring at the various data on the meter:

"To deal with you, such a ** who gets busy without asking day and night, and

getting crazy. For things, you should use the countdown to see the world to

stimulate you, so as not to forget to maintain it. If you don’t say your life

for nothing, you will also waste a piece of equipment."

"You have to take care of it. There are only 20 machines on the entire planet.

Once the interface has a memory of your DNA, it can't be used by others. If it

is discarded, there is nowhere to use it again." Shao Lao said. As he spoke,

he used the tip of his gloved finger to poke the connection between Truth's

wound and the intelligent machine.

Pricked so that Truth completely lost his temper and could only admit his

fate.

This tick-to-tick countdown is usually inaudible at all. But Chus could feel

it from time to time that it was sticking to his bones, counting his life.

Even if it had been nearly ten years, even an hour before the planet exploded,

he was still doing a new round of maintenance for this thing in the villa.

For ten years, no one has gotten used to it.

So Chu Si just glanced roughly, confirming that the device had not apparently

malfunctioned during the fifty-year freezing process, and closed the skin

again.

The number of days he can live is still three digits, enough for him to find

another place that can provide maintenance.

As long as the countdown didn't turn into single digits, Chief Chu, who was

not nervous by nature, could still remain calm.

Truth pressed the skin together again, and went into the shower room, the heat

swiftly swelling, and the glass door was covered with a layer of mist.

Amid the rushing sound of water, the built-in microphone above his head

suddenly rustled twice, and Truss stretched out his hand to take the towel

immediately.

The microphone is connected to the alarm and communication system of the

entire prison, and is often used for emergency notification. The people in the

safe building do not know how many emergency situations they have to deal with

each year, and they are extremely sensitive to this kind of thing.

Chu Si was stunned for less than a second, slapped the switch on the shower,

and raked the wet short hair behind his head, wiped his body and put on his

clothes and went out of the shower.

Just as he buttoned his shirt button with one hand and was about to unlock the

door, someone in the microphone suddenly coughed and cleared his throat, and

said in a slow tone: "Sir, there is no hot water in my room."

Chus: "..."

He slammed, touched the electronic lock finger and turned halfway, directly

pressed the call button on the wall, and asked: "Sae Young, are you sick?"

The microphone rustled twice and replied, "Yes."

Truth: "...You ** live next door, do you still need someone to teach you to

open the door and knock on such a mentally handicapped thing?"

Saer: "I knock on the door and you won't open it directly, so I will

communicate first."

Chus opened his mouth and wanted to scold, he heard the microphone rustle

again, and the mop sound came out: "What are you two doing? It scared me to

death..."

Chus: "..."

Bewildered by the neurotic surname Yang, forgot that the microphone is a

public release.

Chus rolled his eyes, looked down at the wet shirt on his body, walked to the

side of the bed without expression, and pressed 3 on the communicator embedded

in the bed, directly connected to Saer next door. Pick up the No. 3 duty room.

"Do you know how to use internal single-wire communication?" Chus asked

saltyly.

This time Saer’s voice finally did not come out of the microphone, "It will be

used, but I guess you are taking a bath, and the sound of single-line

communication can't be transmitted into the shower."

Well, you are reasonable.

Trus's expression remained unchanged, and he hung up without mercy.

Two seconds later, the bedside communicator rang again and automatically

connected: "Sir, it's not a polite behavior to hang up before you finish

talking."

Chu Stan said: "I have never been so unreasonable."

Saer laughed: "So, can I borrow the shower room?"

Truss wiped the water on his hair twice and replied, "I have to remind you

that I searched for food in Duty Room No. 3. I tried it when I checked the

drinking water, and there was no shortage of hot water at all. Okay, I'm going

to sleep for a while, I wish you a nightmare."

After speaking, he completely interrupted the communication and turned on the

no-bypass mode at night, and then dragged the communication code of Duty Room

3 into the blacklist.

Anyone who knows a little about Sae Young knows that he is a very extreme and

weird person. To be precise, most people in this world are simply air in his

eyes. He is not interested, so naturally he can't see it.

There are only two kinds of people who can arouse his interest.

One is someone more dangerous and uncontrollable than him. The more dangerous,

the more interesting he finds it. But in fact, such people hardly exist.

The other kind of person holds what he needs, he has a purpose, so he can see

you.

Truth didn't think he was the first kind, so it could only be the second kind.

As for Sa's purpose, he could actually guess at all odds, nothing more than

hoping to use him to remove the black gold controller.

To be honest, even the planet no longer exists, and it is not impossible to

remove the controller.

But close to the authority of Trus alone, it really couldn't be done.

It’s just that it’s useless to tell Sa’e. Didn’t he never say it, did he

believe it?

No.

Blame the great Chief Chu for talking too much nonsense, and his resume in

this area is simply inferior. Even if he occasionally opens his heart to say

two sincere and sincere words, no one believes it.

Chu Siquan wiped his hair half dry, and lay down on the single bed.

The fifty years in the frozen capsule belonged to a physiological cessation,

not a normal rest, so Truth, who had experienced a lot of miserable things,

was extremely sleepy at this time and fell asleep almost the moment he closed

his eyes.

Then, he dreamed of the winter of 5702.

It was really cold that winter, even Nanton State had snow for a full month,

not to mention the Mia Mountains, which are famous for its coldness.

The huge wreckage of the aircraft fell between the steepest cliffs of the Mia

Mountains.

The literal "between".

Its damaged left emergency landing wing rested on the east cliff, and the

burnt right emergency landing wing rested on the west cliff, with the fuselage

in the middle hanging dangerously in the air. In the dream, Chus's situation

is the same as the reality of the year, and it has not changed at all.

The left half of his body is still in the security door, but the entire

security door has become completely unrecognizable and deformed, almost

crushing half of his body to pieces, to the point that he doesn't even feel

pain anymore.

The right half of his body hung dangerously out of the aircraft door, and his

stretched hand dragged a three-year-old child, and the child's feet was a vast

abyss. As soon as he let go, the child would disappear into this world before

he even had time to cry.

In fact, a three-year-old child is not too heavy for him.

But on that kind of extremely cold mountain, in the snow and wind whistling,

one-handed and unsupported such a child, dragged for an hour, the hand will be

relieved.

And Chus has been dragging for thirteen hours.

Even he himself can only rely on the little will to support him.

Fortunately, most of the members of the experimental team were ejected from

the safety cabin during the emergency landing of the aircraft. Only the child

who was tripped by a nerve and slipped out of the cabin door, and Chus, who

caught him, missed the most When Jia escaped, she was caught in the

continuously exploding aircraft door and hit the Mia Mountains.

One hanging is thirteen hours.

Even in the dream, Truss could clearly feel the cold that can make people lose

consciousness and will.

And when the weapon bay of the aircraft was blown up, the blinding cannon

stabbed people's eyes with unbearable pain.

He eventually lost his consciousness in the torment, and when he was awake

again, he was already lying in the special care unit of the Baiying Military

Hospital. Old Doctor Shao said to him with his iconic coffin face straight.

Nine deaths, 70% of the left half of the body is highly damaged, so you have

to use smart machines..."

The second half of Shao Lao's sentence seemed ambiguous in his dream, and was

interrupted by an alarm. His voice was approaching from a distance, becoming

clearer and harsher...

Two seconds later, Truth suddenly reacted, the alarm was not in a dream!

In prison guard duty room No. 2, Chus suddenly sat up from the bed.

In the microphone above his head, the harsh siren still kept going. He picked

up the communicator on the bedside table and threw it into his pocket, strode

out the door, "Sky Eye?! What's going on—"
