Chapter 1572
Chapter 1581 Partner’s Promise
Golden flaps sparkle in the sun, and silver steel frames crisscross, supporting the main body of the Phoenix Nest. The top is The aircraft head-shaped GUYS JAPAN command room is connected to the square cone-shaped main body of the Phoenix Nest through a grid of oblique passages.
Whenever the alarm sounds in the command room, the GUYS team members will immediately enter the cockpit parked below the command room, and then slide down to the hangar underground in the Phoenix Nest through the inclined passage, and interact with the GUYS Flying Wing. , GUYS loading number, and GUYS propulsion number complete the combination and attack.
But the Phoenix Nest is not only used as a command room. When necessary, it can also deploy flight mode, transform into a spaceship, and go out into space to conduct space operations.
The aircraft head-shaped command room will move forward to the front and become the nose of the spaceship. It will be used to transport the cockpit's inclined channel. As the command room extends forward, it will become the hull of the ship and carry the Phoenix cannon originally hidden in the center. .
This giant cannon, manufactured with the latest technology, uses the same principle of energy as inside the sun, and can fire a charged ion beam of 100 million volts. According to theory, firing the Phoenix Cannon at full power is enough to destroy a Asteroids are an important part of Earth's defense.
Such an important facility will naturally not be placed carelessly on the ground. On the surface, it looks like a large airport, but the underground and surrounding areas have long been hollowed out, including a series of supporting facilities such as hangars, oil depots, and ammunition depots. They are all built underground, so even if they are attacked from the outside, they will not be destroyed immediately.
In addition, a series of thermal weapons such as rocket launchers and howitzers are deployed around the base, as well as energy weapons such as a 1,200 mm caliber particle accelerator cannon, Silver Shark G high-energy laser cannon, and a full A tank regiment and a flying group flying conventional fighter planes.
To this day, Future still clearly remembers all of this. He knows the deployment of the Phoenix Nest very well, and can even read out the models of those weapons and equipment.
So many weapons surrounded the Phoenix Nest. Even if one of them failed, there would be other weapons, including smart weapons and manually operated weapons.
It can be said that all possibilities have been considered.
But all of them were easily destroyed in the battle with the Ampera stars. Not to mention causing harm to the Ampera stars, they were not even able to touch the Ampera stars.
The Ampera star stood there motionless, destroying everything with just the power of his mind. The priceless instruments and machinery were twisted into a ball of scrap metal in a few breaths.
Even the particle accelerator at the bottom of the base, which was ten kilometers long and provided high-energy particles for man-made monsters, was destroyed by the Ampera aliens through a thick layer of soil.
But now, everything is intact!
After defeating the Amperas, the spaceship wrapped in black flames left in the orbit of the earth by the Amperas returned to the earth once in the future. Got a few days off from the Dark Armor of the Dark Terror of the Great Warp.
But the Phoenix Nest that I saw that time had just completed the main body of the repair, and many traces of battle could still be found in the surrounding buildings and ancillary facilities.
But now, everything presented in front of the future is intact.
The smooth runway, the continuous buildings, the interlaced pipelines, everything is so orderly, even the surrounding barbed wire can't find a gap, as if the battle to determine the fate of the earth and mankind has never stopped. As if it never happened.
"Could it be said"
As soon as I thought of a guess in the future, the surrounding environment changed suddenly, as if the accelerator button was pressed. The trees grew rapidly and the seasons changed every second.
One second it was ice and snow, the next the spring was bright, then the summer was scorching, and then the autumn wind was bleak
Scaffolding was set up around the Phoenix Nest, and tower cranes were set up around the Phoenix Nest. Tall buildings were built, the Phoenix Nest Walls were erected around it, shopping malls were opened around the Phoenix Nest, and pedestrian streets appeared around the Phoenix Nest
The military base at that time was no longer kept secret during the changes over the years, and became a museum and a commercial district. , bustling with people and constant traffic.
"Is this my memory?" Future stood still, the surroundings had stopped changing and became exactly the same as in Future's memory.
That time, because he was performing a mission around the solar system, he applied for an emergency leave from his brother Zuo Fei, who was leading the team. As the eldest brother of the Ultra brothers, Zuo Fei took great care of the youngest brother. Shangmebius worked hard and never slacked off, so he agreed immediately.
When I return to the future of the earth, I see the Phoenix Nest that has changed beyond recognition. The 'fire phoenix' that once soared through the universe is lying quietly on the ground. The command room that holds countless memories is already a memorial. There is no trace of the past in the showroom.
Then he left.
But now he has returned to the past again.
Is it really the past?
Or
The future hesitated at a loss, and everything was very quiet. This commercial district rose due to the excitement of Phoenix Nest, and was also ruined due to the decline of the museum.
The Phoenix Nest, which everyone once wanted to visit, has gradually become less popular with the development of the times, the advancement of technology, and the change of population.
The doors of the shops are closed, the windows are covered with dust, and the roads are full of stains because they have not been cleaned for a long time,
Everything is telling: forgetting!
People are pursuing novelty, people are pursuing new life, and the old past, even the occasional nostalgia, is stingy.
Just like the Phoenix Nest, when the people who remember Membius and experienced the CREWGUYS era gradually grow old and leave, they become the past, turned into dust, and deposited in the corner of history.
Although I know that everything in front of me is illusory, but...
"Everyone." Mirai murmured in a low voice, and couldn't help but step forward with his feet, walking to this carved place. The phoenix nest of the vicissitudes of time.
The hall was empty, and the flags of the previous defense forces were hanging weakly. There was a tall Ultraman statue. The color on the surface did not look so bright, it looked a bit old, and the gaps were filled with black.
There is no projection of spotlights on the floor of the corridor. Only one-third of the screen on the wall is still showing images of previous generations of defense forces fighting monsters. However, the sound sounds a bit hoarse. Apparently the sound system Something went wrong.
In the exhibition room of the past defense forces, the wide posters introducing the members have probably not been replaced for a long time and look a little faded. The fighter model also has a thin layer of dust. The monsters in the booth There are only more than twenty left.
The luxurious decoration tells its prosperity; the lack of furnishings tells its loneliness.
A sentence comes to mind in the inexplicable future: What humans are best at is forgetting.
In just twenty-five years since Brother Eddie left the earth, Ultraman has become a legend on the earth. Children who have not experienced the period when monsters frequently appear have even begun to pursue monsters and regard their ferocious faces as their own. Cool.
The future shook his head, throwing these distracting thoughts out of his mind, and looked around seriously and carefully, trying to imprint these deeply in his mind. He once felt that there was nothing to miss, but now It was so nostalgic, because when he returned to Earth, he could no longer even see the Phoenix Nest that had changed beyond recognition.
The passing time can erase everything from this world.
Even the Phoenix Nest made of steel could not withstand the cruel passage of time. It gradually decayed until it was demolished, leaving only photos and data, which were written into human textbooks and backed up to human databases.
To this day, humans who have already stepped out of the earth and into the universe, few people still talk about Ultraman, and even know that not many people remember Ultraman.
Everything about Ultraman has become knowledge points that are required to be memorized in history textbooks and answers to be filled in on exam papers, rather than living people and unforgettable memories.
"Long likes to lie here and read magazines, Zheping likes to sit here and flip through information, and the captain always drinks coffee here, George"
Future stared at this room with an area of only three or four for a long time. Shiping's command room looked at the place that had long since changed with nostalgia. Although the furnishings here are not consistent with everything in the memory, it seems that I can still see the familiar people in front of me and hear their familiar voices.
“Not yet. It’s not over yet. Didn’t you agree that you would come to watch my comeback match?”
George's shouts came from behind, roaring hysterically, and his voice was full of pathos.
"Yes, I will also participate in the World Motorcycle Championship and become the first female rider to stand on the podium. You must come and see."
Marina's voice was tight Then, she, who had always been so heroic, became choked up.
"Everyone." Future's heart trembled, and he stood there without moving, but his fists were clenched together tightly, and you could even hear the cracking sound of the joints.
The shouting behind me continues:
"I will definitely become an excellent doctor. No, after this battle is over, I will treat your injuries."
"Zheping."
"Kindergarten children, please I’m waiting for you, so stand up, Future!”
“The Beauty of Wood”
Even though so much time has passed, Future still remembers each of their voices.
The Turaiga gun sent to the Kingdom of Light through meteor technology was so blurred that even the syllables could not be distinguished due to the harsh radiation environment of the universe and the brilliance of time. Even the technology of the Kingdom of Light could not repair it, but in the future it will be able to work one by one. Identify who that muffled voice belongs to.
"We agreed to come back alive. If we don't abide by the agreement with our friends, can we leave with peace of mind?"
"Long Sang."
The future couldn't help it any longer, and read out his partner's name with a trembling voice.
The voices and words of these people were the day of the fierce battle with Impereza, and the moment when the fire in my heart was ignited and I became the Hero of Fire.
But
“The agreement with my partners, I, I.”
Tears welled up from my eyes and flowed down my face.
"Future?"
A voice full of doubts sounded from the side of the future, causing the future to subconsciously turn his head, and what he saw was a man covered in dust and wearing a GUYS uniform. , also holding a Tulaiga gun in his hand, was looking at the future with doubtful and vigilant eyes.
"Forcing water, Captain!"
But as soon as the eyes flashed, the figure disappeared.
Let the future move forward involuntarily, and reach out with his raised hand, as if he wants to grab it.
The voice of Captain Qishui is still in my ears, but Captain Qishui seems to have never appeared.
Just disappeared.
"I didn't."
Future's fingers moved, trying to catch something, but couldn't catch anything.
"If only."
An indescribable regret surged out of my heart.
Just now he clearly heard the shouts of his companions and clearly saw the captain's figure, but because of his indifference, they 'disappeared'.
If you don't abide by the agreement with your friends, can you leave with peace of mind?
Every word Long said was like a knife stabbing into Future's heart.
That day, they made the agreement, but he failed to keep it.
I didn’t go to see George’s comeback game, I didn’t see Marina standing on the podium, I didn’t see Teppei rescuing lives, I didn’t.
I didn’t even get to see my partners for the last time. .
In a daze, the future felt as if a road appeared in front of him, a light road full of cracks, exuding vicissitudes of life and dilapidation. It gave people the impression that it had collapsed long ago, but it was forcibly twisted together. It looked very awkward and had no sense of beauty at all.
On both sides of this light path, there are illusory lights and shadows, like flowing water and smoke, constantly changing and surging, but like a screen, showing images one after another:
< br>George, wearing the jersey, ran on the green field and hung the amulet of flames. around his neck, striding forward with him; Jinna, wearing a motorcycle suit, speeding on the track, tied the flaming amulet around her waist, and rushed to the finish line of victory with her; Teppei, wearing a white coat, was in the ward Heal someone's wounds, hang the amulet of fire around your waist, and fight death with him ; Standing on the podium, Mu Zhimei passes on knowledge to the children, puts the amulet of flames on the podium, and witnesses the growth of the children with her;
There is also the dragon, who displays the memory painted with flames Yi carefully put it into the jacket pocket of GUYS uniform, and then walked out of the room. Behind him, there was a steel plate on the Phoenix Assault with everyone's signature written on it. There were also photos of everyone next to it. Everyone was smiling so happily. On the training field outside the room, rows of trainees in uniforms were standing. Everyone among the young people in student uniforms is full of energy and high spirits.
Everyone is working hard to realize their dreams and make the promises they made become reality.
Only he.
failed to fulfill the agreement with his partners.
I didn’t go to witness their glory, let alone share their joy, not even in the end.
The tears fell drop by drop, hitting this broken light path, and the sound of it falling was It's so slight that no one can hear it even if there's silence all around; it's so tiny that it disappears in a moment, leaving no trace behind, let alone being noticed.
But several people in the light and shadow cast their gazes over, as if they were searching, with doubts in their eyes, but expectations on their faces, as if they knew it was impossible, but still imagined that it would become Reality.
