Chapter 603 Theresa's Real-Life Begging for Help
"Reporting to Ms. Theresa, Dr. Einstein, and Dr. Tesla, the Hyperion has completed all combat readiness inspections. The No. 3 nuclear fusion reactor is damaged, but the No. 5 and No. 6 backup nuclear fusion reactors can be put into use immediately. At the same time, the C01 rail gun turret and guide rail were damaged and could not be used in combat.
"Other than that, there are no problems with the Hyperion, and the engine has entered the pre-start state as ordered. In terms of ammunition, since Hyperion was previously on combat readiness, the ship's ammunition depot contains half a base of ammunition for various weapons. , it is expected that all preparations will be completed and put into operation before 5 o'clock this morning.
"However... there are still a large number of construction parts left near the apron where Huberian is located. In view of Article 37 of the "Warship Safety Regulations": When the ship is performing vertical take-off and landing operations, the watchkeeper must strictly inspect the ground inside the apron to ensure that There is no debris that may be involved in the engine and cause safety hazards. It is prohibited to perform take-off and landing operations in an unsafe environment. Therefore, I suggest that Ms. Theresa immediately dispatch additional personnel to establish a safe area for the Hyperion to take off. "
"Understood, I will ask Siegfried to lead a group of people over right away. Things like this happened one after another. If we don't let that fool do something, we can only knock him out and tie him up."
Among the dark ruins, a three-dimensional projection like a will-o'-the-wisp always looks particularly scary, but if the shape of the projection is a girl with two big cabbages on her head, it is a different matter.
"Hey, hey, I'm not telling you, can we still draw out someone in this situation?"
Tesla complained calmly on the broken wall he was leaning on.
"There is no other way. If you can't squeeze people out, you have to find a way to squeeze them out. Although it is a small probability event that those things will be sucked into the anti-gravity engine, even if they are sucked in, it will not necessarily destroy the engine. But once that happens, the chain of consequences will be Reaction - Hyperion is unable to fight, we have lost the most powerful counterattack at hand, and the plan to rescue Kiana has to be postponed... In short, we have to be careful."
Einstein continued to demolish Tesla, but she seemed to have no interest in lengthy speeches.
"It's okay, don't worry. I noticed the problem there before and asked Su to help. He can use telekinesis and the cleaning efficiency is relatively high. He should be able to complete the task before five o'clock."
Mei and Hua walked out of the darkness side by side. Theresa blinked and felt that Mei seemed a little different today than usual. After taking a closer look, she realized that she was missing the white coat that she almost never left her body.
Before she could ask, she saw the hem of white clothes trailing on the ground behind Mei. She turned her head and saw a little girl with green hair tightly wrapped in a thin white coat, following closely behind them. Behind the person.
"This...whose child is this? Why are you here?"
"Tsk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the child smacked his lips rudely.
"Wait a minute, Ms. Teresa, she shouldn't be an ordinary child—that green hair, snake-like vertical pupils, and the black viscous liquid remaining on her face. Although I don't understand why she turned out like this. , but she should undoubtedly be the Mebius that Dr. Mei sealed in Haiyuan City half a year ago."
Einstein calmly revealed the identity of the "kid" in front of him, and then stood in front of Theresa without leaving any trace.
However, after her peripheral vision glanced at Judas next to Theresa, she stood behind Theresa with a calm demeanor and extremely fast speed.
Theresa's eyes became a little hollow, as if she was recalling something that wasn't too far away——
That was when Mei came to St. Freya for the first year, and she caught Mei and Mikael burning paper money in the back garden of the new campus. The tablet facing the two of them at that time said [Mebius]. Later, she also talked to Mei. At that time, Mei said... "Mom Mebius is just like the principal, she looks like a child."
"…………"
However, these are not the point.
Theresa glanced at Mei vaguely, who smiled and nodded to her.
Although she doesn’t know what it means specifically, and she doesn’t know what the current situation is, but since Mei brought Mebius here, it means that doing so is not a big problem in her judgment.
What's more, even if she doesn't trust Mei, she still trusts Hua, who has been with her for longer.
"Speaking of which, Theresa, are you already making preparations for the Hyperion's attack?"
"Um."
"Um……"
The same word, in Theresa's mouth, was the fourth sound that represented affirmation, plus a nod to express her attitude.
In Mei's mouth, there was a first sound of doubt and confusion, and this simple syllable, accompanied by the movement of folding his hands, making a fist with his right hand and gently touching his chin with the index finger, pulled the old man away.
Theresa tensed her back subconsciously. Even though there was no superior-subordinate relationship between them, when she realized that Mei was looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, she couldn't help but feel a surge of panic in her heart.
It was an unreasonable panic, just like the panic of a student who was thinking hard about a sample question that the teacher had taught in class during an exam. He looked up and met the cold gaze of the invigilator - wait, why? This section is so familiar...
Fortunately, Mei's gaze was not cold. To be precise, Theresa couldn't see her gaze. The light projected by Aiyi hit Mei's thin lenses and inadvertently turned into a thin curtain, blocking any emotions that might flow from Mei's eyes.
However, at the next moment, Aiyi touched the cabbage above her head, left a sentence, "I don't care, you guys will discuss it first," and then ran away first. After the light dissipated, what appeared in front of Theresa was, It's a pair of slightly playful purple eyes.
"Then, tell me about your battle plan, Ms. Theresa - since you plan to activate Hyperion, it means that at least before Hyperion can activate, you have a way to find the Tenth Herrscher, or rather Kiana’s position, right?”
Theresa's expression froze, but after turning her head left and right, she found that the two anti-entropy doctors were looking at her with the same burning eyes.
Sure enough, Mei was not the only one who had doubts. The two doctors of Anti-Entropy also had the same problem. However, because their relationship was relatively close, they were embarrassed to raise questions immediately.
Theresa's smile was a little awkward, and after the embarrassment, there was a trace of worry.
But now a reasonable explanation must be given, especially since there is no need to hide that matter. The reason why she still chose to hide it from everyone was, in a sense, just because of her guilty conscience as Theresa Apokalis.
"Well... at 8:33 Mountain Time last night, less than two hours after the incident, I received an external communication while Huberian was dispatching equipment."
"It's...your grandfather Otto Apocalis."
Mei threw out the sentence that was supposed to be a question in a declarative tone, and then quietly waited for Theresa's choice.
"yes."
Theresa swallowed hard and squeezed out a word of affirmation from her throat.
"What's wrong, my dear little Theresa, I heard that you have some trouble there. Although it is going to rain and my mother is getting married, it seems that it is a trouble that you can't solve. What? Your face , It’s like I haven’t drunk bitter melon juice for several days. Ah... I can’t help it, look. I need your help at this time. How about you? Don't be in a hurry to answer me. Even if you want to accept it, you have to find a way to convince the two doctors of Anti-Entropy. Make your own decision, your best grandpa is always waiting for your response."
The man just brazenly connected to the communication through the back door left behind, and then after a period of inexplicable communication, he hung up the communication while talking to himself.
"I... I mean, in this situation, we want to... rescue Kiana as soon as possible... before something happens to her. We have no choice but to accept me... we can only accept the help of destiny. . Of course, this is just my suggestion at the moment. If there is a better way, it’s not impossible..."
"Are you crazy, Theresa!"
Tesla endured one sentence, then two, three, and three and a half sentences, until she couldn't bear it anymore. She waved her robotic arm and jumped to interrupt Theresa's words.
Probably because she felt that such behavior was inappropriate, Theresa's narration was already intermittent, but when Tesla interrupted her, she simply lowered her head and pretended to be silent.
Anyway, her attitude has actually been made very clear.
Einstein combed the undisturbed chicken coop with one hand, and held Tesla's fiery red mechanical arm with the other hand, forcing it down.
After doing this in an orderly manner, Einstein closed his eyes and then opened them again. His slightly dull eyes did not hide anything, nor did they contain any extra emotion. He just stared straight at Theresa, After staring at the latter and feeling panicked, she spoke calmly:
"Ms. Theresa, your opinion is that you hope to cooperate with Otto and use the other party's power to rescue Kiana, right?"
"Well……"
"Ms. Teresa, can you guarantee that your grandfather Otto Apokalis will not act brazenly against Anti-Entropy, which has already suffered a major blow, during the process of rescuing Kiana, or after the rescue mission is completed?"
"I don't……"
"Ms. Theresa, do you know that there is a high probability that your grandfather will do this? Or are you confident in preserving the reverse entropy that has lost nearly half of its conventional combat effectiveness in the opponent's hands?"
"I...can't."
"Ms. Theresa, do you think that the current situation is so critical that Anti-Entropy must abandon all prejudices and future risks to cooperate with a scum who has no bottom line and has betrayed us and you? ?”
"No, I..."
Theresa was flustered by Einstein's gaze. Coupled with the questioning and vigilance in the other person's words, her body subconsciously trembled to deny it.
But just a few tenths of a second later, when Kiana's face crossed her mind, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes and gave her own answer:
"I think so. Even without considering Kiana's personal safety, the power of the Second Herrscher is too uncertain. If it is controlled by the enemy, we may become more passive. Moreover, Qi There is another bomb-like existence in Yana's body. If the Herrscher and the Second Herrscher reach a consensus and form an alliance, Siren only needs to go to the moon and drop a large number of meteorites like she did seventeen years ago. , a conservative estimate of tens of millions of casualties. Not to mention, now... that man can be said to have completely stood on the opposite side of humanity with a [Honkai] attitude... I'm sorry to say that. "But Dr. Mei and Fu Hua should be able to prove that even if we unite Anti-Entropy, Tianming and Shenzhou, with the current combat effectiveness, it is difficult to say that we can fight. "
Mei pondered and said nothing, while Hua glanced at Mebius, who had jumped onto the ruins. His green eyes were glowing with fluorescent light. He didn't know what he was looking at, let alone what he was thinking. Then he focused. nod.
"That is to say, Ms. Theresa. I can think that you are very clear about what it means to accept your grandfather's help and the consequences of doing so, but you still think that doing so is right, or necessary, right? ”
This time, Theresa did not escape, and then she held Judas's chains tightly, covering her heart with her other hand and replied:
"Yes. I know that grandpa will do a lot of tricks, and even betray us immediately after rescuing Kiana. I can't guarantee anything, but... saying this would seem quite impulsive and irresponsible. But this is the only thing I can guarantee, everyone - if that happens, I will do everything I can to stop him until I die or he gives up."
"Um--"
Einstein squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and then took Tesla's wrist.
"That's it. I personally agree with Ms. Theresa's opinion."
"I know, grandpa probably doesn't care about my life very much, so even if I use my life to stop him...eh? Dr. Einstein, you just said..."
"Um."
Without saying anything more, Einstein just nodded.
Tesla on the side stared at her blankly, and it was not until she nodded that she seemed convinced of something.
She broke away from Einstein's hand and hugged her head.
"Ahhhhhh! What are you doing, chicken coop! Shouldn't you tell Teresa to stop this childish fantasy at this time? How can you support her? Otto Apokalis, the one who has no copyright awareness The bitch will never let go of such a good opportunity and will definitely eat up the entire reverse entropy! Then everything that everyone has worked hard for so many years and Joyce sacrificed himself will be taken away by that man again. Let’s go, Jiwotou, what are you doing, Jiwotou!”
Compared to Tesla's frenzy, Einstein only responded calmly:
"I just don't want Ms. Theresa's decision to come from impulse. But since she is fully aware of the consequences of doing so, and is willing to do everything she can to be responsible for this decision, then I don't feel that I She has been denied the qualifications.”
"But...but that chicken coop head is Otto, that is..."
"Dr. Tesla, do you think we have any other options?"
"ah?"
"Ms. Theresa has made the stakes very clear. This is not something complicated that requires deep thought. Dr. Tesla, it's not that you don't understand this, right? You just can't accept it."
"Jiwotou you...I..."
Looking at Dr. Tesla who was speechless, Theresa felt dizzy and unreal.
But now that the matter was over, there was no time for her to waste anymore, so she turned her head and focused her gaze on Mei.
"Huh? Are you asking for my opinion? Of course I agree."
"Then only Mr. Walter's side is left... I'm sorry to say this, but we really don't have time to delay now, so I suggest that everyone rush to Hyperion first and contact Grandpa through the communication device there. , and then explain this to Mr. Walter.”
May shrugged indifferently, while Einstein looked at Tesla silently.
"Jiwotou, why are you looking at me again? I'm not... uh..."
This night seemed destined to be unkind to Dr. Tesla.
