Ark, they don't revolve around you

Zhuang Ning thought of Precious. When he first traveled through time, it was this woman who held his hand. She asked him which laboratory he belonged to. Zhuang Ning said nervously that he did not have any, and cursed the garbage system thousands of times in his heart. But Precious did not mind. This woman had a pair of ink-black eyes. Before the security personnel came over, she stood in front of Zhuang Ning and said that this person would be under my control from now on.

Zhuang Ning recalled the time when they fell from the giant structure to Terra. The towering building reached the sky. The news of the giant structure caused a huge sensation among humans. Everyone was looking forward to returning to the starry sky, because Terra was not their home either. They were actually pathetic immigrants who came to this land because of some accidents. The woman raised Zhuang Ning's hand in cheers, and Zhuang Ning smiled a little uneasily, but this was seen as a sign of humility.

Zhuang Ning thought about how after staying up all night, he and the woman snuggled in bed together. This boring melodrama was not worth mentioning anywhere. Zhuang Ning wanted to speed it up sixty-four times. Gradually, he became sleepy and fell into Precious's arms. The girl smoothed his clothes helplessly, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Zhuang Ning saw the dusk approaching little by little. By then he had already held a high position and was no longer the vagrant with little influence. On the contrary, because the end of the world was approaching, people felt that the world was going to end.

This time it was the woman's turn to rest her head on his shoulder. They looked out at the lifeless city, as silent as if it had sunk into the sea.

Dream - No, this is not a dream, this is my memory. Zhuang Ning wanted to make his expression gradually colder, but he couldn't do it.

"Doctor, do you know why I held your hand at that time?" Precious said suddenly, his voice as clear as a lark.

"why?"

The girl smiled slyly: "I don't know, maybe this is fate? I saw a guy who was alone and thought he was a bit like me. You weren't so silent back then, how cute."

"Later, you told me that you came from another place, and I believed it. I didn't lie to you. I really believed that you came from another place. The universe is so big, what is impossible?"

The setting sun dyed her face red. Precious whispered softly, "You said that the place you came from is not as developed as here, but you don't have to live next to death, right?"

"It's hard to say. Many people in the world are suffering."

"But the world won't be destroyed for no reason, right?" Precious smiled. "The voice in your head told you that as long as you complete all the tasks, you can go back. If everything goes well, maybe you and I can do it soon."

Zhuang Ning lowered his voice: "Yeah."

"I believe we will continue this relationship." Precious maintained her smile, the most beautiful smile Zhuang Ning had ever seen. "By then, I will have nothing to worry about. The system you mentioned will still allow a weak woman like me to go home with you, right?"

"Uh……"

"Uh, what? You're a man, you can't say no!" Precious was unhappy, but then she smiled. This girl who only belongs to you has a changeable personality like a kitten when facing him. "I don't have any family, but your family is still there. We can go see your parents together."

"Then my parents will definitely think that I have suddenly come to my senses and managed to trick such a beautiful girl."

They both smiled at each other as dusk fell and darkness engulfed everything.

Tears fell from Zhuang Ning's face. Looking at Precious, he felt so sad because this girl was no longer here...

They boarded the deck of the Rhodes Island together, with stars dotted overhead. "Rhodes Island is carrying PRTs, didn't you know that?"

"Ah."

"My instructions are deep inside PRTs. Only you can activate them. You and I have the highest authority." The girl seemed to have a premonition and said quietly, "If I leave, you can activate the instructions deep inside PRTs. She will simulate my personality and memory and replace me."

"Doctor, I'm actually both worried about you and not worried at the same time. You look like a guy who is very good at deceiving women, but you are also very stupid..." The girl pursed her lips and laughed, "So, let PRTS help you."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that AMA-10 has been built. If nothing goes wrong, she should be assigned to this ark." The woman raised her hand. In the eyes of outsiders, she was always so mature and steady, but only Zhuang Ning knew that she also had a girlish side. "This ark is heading for tomorrow. One day, we will meet again here. Don't want a bunch of women around you by then."

He was at a loss and remained silent for a long time.

"Okay, Doctor." Han Chan said sadly. Precious walked into the depths of darkness and waved to Zhuang Ning, "Goodbye, I love you."

After she finished speaking, she ran back to the ship like a rabbit. Zhuang Ning suddenly had an idea to play a prank on her, and he roared with all his might: "Me too, Precious, I love you!!!"

There seemed to be a sound of someone falling, and also laughter. His voice was so loud that everyone on the island must have heard it.

In fact, he and Precious are no longer good people in the narrow sense. For the sake of continuation, the so-called ethics are not worth mentioning, but he always feels that he must retain some humanity deep in his heart.

Zhuang Ning's heart was suddenly filled with motivation. He felt that he should work harder. Well... or to put it another way, working harder always reminded him of a certain group leader. In short, he should try his best to bring Precious back so that he could report to his parents. The older generation was like this, always urging their children to go on blind dates.

But he was stunned again.

It turns out that there is still someone who will stay with him, and someone has made such a vow to him.

original.

It turns out that there are people in this land that you cannot give up.

He fell to the ground and looked up at the stars above his head. They were so far away. Each beam of light from the stars was actually just an illusion of the past. However, they crossed such a long distance and finally descended to the earth.

Soon, the starry sky will be distorted, a huge barrier will cover the land and the ocean, the giant structure of the moon will be abandoned, and the satellite will float in orbit. No one knows whether such actions can prevent destruction. The existence from a higher dimension may be able to flatten everything on this land with just a glance...

Zhuang Ning stood up, bathed in the rays of light. Countless faces, some laughing and some crying, intertwined. They were not lovers yet, but their connection went far beyond lovers. The girl who could kiss you boldly would fall down because of embarrassment when she heard you say "I love you".

It's not over yet.

He watched coldly as the dream was reorganized and came to the final scene.

Chapter 91 Don't Give Up on Her

The shrill alarm, the white corridor, the eerie people...

This is the last fragment of memory, the moment of the destruction of a civilization, so beautiful that it takes one’s breath away.

But Zhuang Ning didn't see it, he only knew that the woman pushed him into the sarcophagus. Precious had drugged him, and Zhuang Ning was supposed to be the last person in charge of guarding the laboratory, but now he was almost dragged away.

Priss operated the instrument, and the various instructions were dazzling. Zhuang Ning's throat was dry. This was different from what had been agreed.

As he felt sleepy, a hand grabbed him, and their fingertips overlapped again, feeling the warmth from each other.

The woman was silent for a moment, as if a little troubled, and said quietly: "I didn't expect that the person who didn't want to let go was me..."

As if feeling regretful, she kissed the man again.

"We agreed before that we would go back to your home together. This is actually very self-willed, isn't it?" A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In the hazy state, Zhuang Ning thought that this girl must be very scared. Who wouldn't be afraid of death following them like a shadow...

"I don't want to leave with you, but I have to do this, Doctor." A decisiveness appeared in her eyes, which was different from her usual gentleness. The bell of destruction was still approaching, and the darkness was approaching little by little. The sarcophagus would freeze Zhuang Ning's body, his thinking would stop, and the darkness that descended on this laboratory would engulf all living things.

Maybe she should cry, but Precious stayed calm. She had always been such a strong woman.

"Maybe we will never see each other again. We will be separated for a very long time and we won't be able to see each other." She seemed to be talking to Zhuang Ning, but also seemed to be talking to herself, "But I don't accept it. I will never accept such a future!"

"I believe that our connection will transcend time and space, even if the oceans boil and the atmosphere disappears, even if our satellites fall into the vortex of gravity one after another, even if our sun expands viciously and ruthlessly eats its children until everything is silent..."

"We can meet again, too. At the end of civilization, adorned with darkness and starlight, we will meet again. For sure."

She said it softly, her expression solemn as if she was taking an oath, as if she was saying an ancient spell. When she said this spell, the entire time and space, all cause and effect were distorted by her mere words.

But Zhuang Ning knew that the woman certainly did not have this ability. She must have anticipated this scene. Until today, Zhuang Ning had always believed that the sarcophagus hidden underground was prepared for this girl. He was very determined to destroy him. It was either success or death. He had never thought of leaving a way out for himself.

That's why the woman insisted on placing a sarcophagus. With her status, it would be easy for her to get an instrument from the Preservator Program, just to give the Doctor a chance of survival when the final despair came.

Humans were waging a rebellious war against higher-dimensional beings. They lost everything, but there was one woman who stubbornly wanted to keep the man she loved!

"This is a sneak attack..." It was incredible. Zhuang Ning's body should have been frozen, and all the cells in his body should have stopped moving, but he was still conscious. "Pureseth, you have no moral principles..."

The woman's face flushed instantly, and only she knew that the confession she had just made was an action she had practiced countless times, just like some warriors reciting farewell poems before their death.

She hadn't expected the Doctor to hear her, because the action was...humiliating.

But she still smiled and said, "No matter what, Doctor, I will wait until the day when we meet again, no matter how we meet."

"Before that, don't forget me..."

The sarcophagus closed, and the girl was sure that the doctor could not hear her this time. In the end, she could not suppress her fear, so she said almost pleadingly, "Don't forget me."

The darkness engulfed her.

The dream turned into a bubble.

Zhuang Ning should have woken up, but he didn't. He was in darkness, his eyes slightly raised, baring his teeth like a devil.

"You showed me these."

The shadow appeared behind Zhuang Ning and had the same face as him, but this was not surprising. After all, he was Zhuang Ning’s deepest self, the Zhuang Ning without any gloom under the mask.

"Don't be so nervous. It's all your past. Haven't you always wanted to remember something..."

"So you showed me a set of cheesy movies?"

Shadow's eyes widened, looking hurt. "These are all your own experiences. I've never heard of anyone complaining about their own crappy life."

Zhuang Ning was silent for a few seconds and sneered: "You show me this to tell me that there are still people who love me? But you know I don't lack love. As long as I want to, it's easy for me to seduce a woman."

"You really have become an evil spirit, but this is your inner world, why do you still need to wear a mask?" Shadow blinked and sat down innocently, "I gave you this dream to relax you."

"..."

"Oh, you have this expression again, too typical. You live in Bengbu, it's like your mother has died... Do you need me to perform the six arts of a gentleman on Tieba?" Shadow stepped forward and sighed, not hiding his disgust for this evil spirit. "I mean, you finally absorbed the fragments of the evil king, and you felt detached, so you killed me... the so-called weak self of yours."

The shadow smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "But I am definitely unkillable. I am always here."

Zhuang Ning didn't say anything, and there was no shadow either. The two of them faced each other, staring at each other, like two Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Zhuang Ning still has the advantage in momentum. After all, he is actually a very ordinary guy. How can he be compared with the evil spirit?

But after they looked for a long time, Zhuang Ning finally closed his eyes. This guy won, and his bottom line was finally touched.

Your desire to go home will never waver, but when you look at the woman who is willing to die for you, no one will feel the slightest ripple in their heart.

Especially in this vast world, he thought that there were people who would make a promise with you, no matter how vulgar and old-fashioned it was, you would -

"Oh, that's right. Sometimes you shouldn't be too nervous." The shadow smiled. At this moment, he completed his mission, and his figure gradually faded away.

Zhuang Ning wanted to stop him: "Why are you showing me this now?"

"I am you. I only appear when you want to see me." Shadow scratched his head and took one last look at himself. "Your mentality is about to explode, that doesn't matter, but you must know that there are people waiting for you, not just your family."

"So, where is Precious?"

Shadow whispered hoarsely, "It must be somewhere in Terra."

Finally, he grabbed Zhuang Ning's collar with all his strength, with a burning flame in his eyes: "Don't give up, you must find her, she only has you now!"

Chapter 92: My hometown people are still here

Zhuang Ning woke up.

When I wake up, I feel refreshed and my body feels better than ever.

His body was full of tubes, as if he had just hibernated and was starving, but on the other hand, he was extremely excited.

Zhuang Ning looked at the calendar and realized that he had slept for a whole month.

It’s actually been a month...Zhuang Ning frowned, but he didn’t feel annoyed. He didn’t know how to describe his mood, so he picked up the terminal and his cheek was reflected on the screen.

No different from humans.

However, as long as you calm down, you can feel the heart that is still beating, and every time it pumps blood to the whole body, it will generate an inexplicable power.

That was the fragment of the Demon King. During the month he was asleep, the fragment had merged with him, and he finally gained power.

It was three o'clock in the morning and Rhode Island was pitch black. No wonder there was no one around him.
