Chapter 1194 Time for two people
“.This feels really good.”
Veronica closed her eyes and tasted the air - the cool fragrance of plants, the fragrance of wild animals Hot and humid, and the coldness of the sea.
Everything that was alive reached directly into her soul, eclipsing everything else.
Soshiyang, who was standing next to her, noticed something. He glanced around and was surprised to find that whether it was grass or other plants, they began to grow rapidly, and their scope continued to expand, as if all life was growing. Got infinite nourishment.
"This is."
Suddenly, Veronica opened her eyes, and everything stopped again.
Her green eyes turned from the endless sky to the forest below the mountain. The trees were so dense that only fine shadows could be seen between the trunks.
There, a strong, unknown herbivore with horns and fur was grazing on the edge of the tree line. The auburn fur shone golden in the sunset, and the horns on its head were like bones. The flames generally branch upward.
Veronica looked at it and held her breath, afraid that the slightest movement would break the picture.
Suddenly the animal raised its head, its nostrils twitching.
Then she met its gaze and saw a soul struggling to survive from self-destruction and surviving through hardships.
The sky is filled with rain of fire and deadly poisonous gas. All living things have turned into corpses and all plants have withered and died. But hope still exists. When the death dissipates, small animals hiding in the caves emerge. After losing his head, the seeds hidden deep in the ground began to sprout——
The haze faded away, and the cycle of life restarted again.
Tears pricked Veronica's eyes, pained by what the spirit of this world had been through.
Suddenly, a roar echoed from the depths of the forest. It was the cry of a predator.
The animal immediately turned and fled, its powerful limbs carrying it up the mountain, over rocks, and along dangerous paths.
Seeing Veronica burst into tears, Soshyan was confused for a moment. He looked at the animal going away, thinking that Veronica was because of that thing, so he said:
“Do you like that creature very much? I can catch it——”
“Why is snatching the first thing you think of?”
"Uh-"
"You will continue to destroy the world with machines and flames in the future, right?"
Soshiyang sighed softly, there were some things he could compromise on, and some things He can't.
“I don’t know whether your words come from the heart or just out of the arrogance of your race, but this is the way we have survived to this day. Without those, humans will turn into dust. Do you think this is Predation, but plunder itself is part of the galactic order, just like the forest in front of you. If you see its beauty, I think you will also be able to see its cruelty. "
Veronica. He didn't answer, but stared blankly at the forest in the distance, with tears still in his eyes.
Soshyan shook his head.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your good mood."
As he said that, he walked aside and sat on an ancient rock.
"You can wander around, I have six hours, and then I will return."
Veronica didn't speak, just turned around and walked away silently.
Soshiyang looked at the other party's back, and felt mixed emotions in his heart for a while - during this period, Talos had been reminding him intentionally or unintentionally to keep a distance from Veronica. After all, their words and deeds seemed to outsiders, even if they were Even by Chaos Space Marine standards, this was a serious transgression.
Sometimes Soshiyang can’t help but ask himself, has he really crossed the line?
He couldn't answer.
Does Veronica have any other meaning in his heart besides a vow?
Soshiyang didn’t want to think about it any more, shook his head, lay back, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and rested in the spring breeze and sunshine. This time, he should treat it as a personal gift. A holiday.
However, not long after he lay down, he summoned an intelligent angel from the shuttle and asked it to follow Veronica and report the situation in time.
After all, there may be some dangerous animals on the planet. Although Veronica is also a war witch herself, Soshyan is always a little worried.
While enjoying the rare sunshine, he was imagining the battle group's plan for the next few decades in his mind. Time passed unknowingly. When Soshiyang opened his eyes, it was already four hours Finally, it was approaching dusk.
Looking around, but not seeing Veronica, Soshyan picked up the data tablet on the side.
“What is she doing here?”
After taking a look at the coordinates sent back by the Intelligent Angel, Soshiyang found that the other party was already in the forest, but not very deep, but logically it should be a lake.
So he clicked on the visual image of the Intelligent Angel - he saw that the dim sunlight illuminated the lake surface into amber, and a slim figure was standing in the lake, with long wet hair falling on his shoulders. , the white skin looks so hazy and psychedelic in the dim light, like a flawless sculpture.
“The picture of what Dietrian made is quite clear”
Soshyan blinked, then suddenly turned off the data pad and threw it aside on the grass on, and then rubbed his head vigorously.
"Soshyan, Soshyan, what are you doing! How can you degenerate so much! Have you forgotten the duties and honors of the Astartes? You can't go on like this!"
I criticized myself. After the meeting, Soshyan looked at the darkening sky and began to recite the Astartes Codex to relieve his inner guilt.
After memorizing it for a few minutes, he felt a little upset again and could only close his eyes and meditate.
I don’t know how long it took, when the wind gradually became a little cold, Soshyan felt something approaching him.
Then he smelled a natural fragrance with a little moisture.
Soshyan wanted to open his eyes, but suddenly he felt something cold touching his face and forehead. He immediately thought of Veronica's long shawl hair, and for a moment he didn't dare to open his eyes.
The other party is most likely looking down at him.
"Thank you, Soshyan."
Veronica's voice was soft but very close.
Soshiyang's throat squirmed for a while, thinking about whether to open his eyes now. He didn't even know what he was afraid of.
Suddenly, something touched his cheek, with a moist touch——
“You!”
Soshiyang opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Veronica Looking at him with a smile, there was a red fruit in each hand - Soshyan immediately realized that this thing had just touched his face.
"Here you go, this is a thank you gift!"
Taking the fruit from the other party with an awkward expression, Soshiyang took a bite.
Sweet, sour and juicy.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and the brilliant stars have appeared in the sky.
Veronica sat next to Soshyan, eating fruit and looking at the galaxy.
Suddenly, she turned her head and said:
"Soshiyang, if one day someone tells you that I am an alien and you must kill me, will you do it? ”
Soshyan took a bite of fruit silently and did not answer.
He had no way to answer.
“Forget it, I don’t care about you stupid big guy, I will hide it myself, it’s not that easy for you humans to discover me.”
Soshiyang’s last bite will be the fruit. He chewed it up, then looked at the time and said:
“It’s time to go back.”
"Well, let's go."
The two got off the stone and walked towards the shuttle.
As she was about to walk there, Veronica suddenly stopped and whispered:
"Can we come together again in the future?"
Soshi Yanton He paused and then stepped onto the ramp.
"If I have time, I will."
Looking at the other person's back disappearing into the shuttle cabin, a touch of sadness appeared on Veronica's face, and her right index finger gently brushed her lips.
".Yes, if there is still time."
