A great sage once said that it is the sum of human social relations.
This statement grasps specific individuals from the perspective of "social relations", and its "existence" has far-reaching influence.
But no one can tell Li Liang how he should be defined as a person who has spent a thousand years, lost all social relationships and identity, and lives alone in the future.
After waking up, it took him a long time to find a sense of belonging again and feel that he was really alive when he woke up in the middle of the night.
During this process, Messi never treated him as an alien for a moment, as if he was just a native of Beijing. Messi never inquired about his identity, and never tried to understand the world a thousand years ago.
The only thing Massey did was teach him how to live in this era.
If that central nervous system core hadn't appeared, maybe in another ten years he would have completely abandoned the past and become a completely Chinese person.
This kind of positive identity and additional personality factors make him return from the spiritual world without hesitation and fearlessly plunge into the "new world" and the quagmire.
K is Mizuno, Old Tang, Brother Shui, etc. Everyone cannot escape from this world, and this era is his hometown after all.
Time passes slowly.
There is no day or night change on the Defiant, but the room is always dimly lit.
Li Liang listened to the rhythmic chirping and snoring as his thoughts gradually subsided and he became drowsy.
After a while, Zhizhi woke up, sat up, glanced at Mesai, yawned, and jumped into Li Liang's arms.
"Huh?" Li Liang lowered his head and saw a monkey head. He realized that he almost fell asleep and rubbed his face with a wry smile.
At this time.
Messi made an unconscious sound in his throat and slowly opened his eyes.
"Boss," Li Liang stood up and said, "How do you feel?"
Messi blinked and said in a dry voice, "When will you come?"
"I came just after you were kicked." Li Liang took a cup from the bedside table. "Do you want some water?"
"Um."
Li Liang leaned over and put two pillows on the old man's back and helped him sit up.
As soon as he sat up a little, Messi looked at him squatting at the end of the bed and said, "Is your son already so old? It's time for a haircut because his hair has grown."
"Fuck you," Li Liang sat back in his chair angrily, "this monkey brother has a much higher education than you, and he's in better shape, and he's delicious."
"You can tell." Messi glanced at him and grinned. The monkey took a sip of water and mumbled, "Is everything okay outside?"
"Yes, he deserves to be killed. He deserves to be killed. He deserves to die."
"Well, you can't blame Cain for this." Messi sighed, "There was nothing wrong with her plan. No one would have thought that she would be involved in such a thing, let alone raise her. If her adoptive father said he would fall out, he would fall out. It’s a poor kid.”
"Um."
"You should find a chance to comfort her. During this time together, I think this girl is quite nice."
Li Liang smiled, "Have you been incited to rebel just a few days ago? Are you sure she doesn't want to look at me so that she can be nice to you?"
"Get out of here, how shameless are you?" Mesai snorted.
"One more thing is," Li Liang said in a relaxed tone, "I'm going to go to the spiritual world and choose some people from among you, Cain, and ephemera."
Messi was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Liang's eyes.
For a moment, the old man frowned and rubbed his chest, "I'm hungry. Have you eaten?"
Li Liang's face instantly turned ugly.
Don’t you even want to go to Messi?
"Hey, that's not what I meant," Messi waved his hand, "Eat first and talk later."
"good."
Li Liang took a deep breath and stood up and walked to the door.
Cain happened to appear at the door, leaning on the door frame with his arms folded, and smiled at Mesai, "Hey, the old man is awake?"
"Ah, I just woke up." Messi said with a weak look, "Then what? Li Liang said I'm hungry. You two go and eat. I haven't recovered yet and I need to rest."
"Ah?" Li Liang turned around and said, "No, you..."
"Go quickly, there's nothing wrong with me here." Messi said with a little squeak of his chin, "Your son is staying with me."
At the door, Cain burst into laughter.
Li Liang shook his head helplessly and walked out.
Cain shrugged at Messi and said hastily, "Someone will bring you something to eat later," before turning around and following him.
The two of them strolled aimlessly along the barbed wire plank road.
The Defiant is still its original shape, with the space cramped and exposed everywhere, the air humid in the pipes, and filled with the smell of engine oil and chemicals.
This is not far from the backup command hall and is located on the 18th floor at the rear of the submarine.
Except for the bridge, there are 45 floors inside the entire submarine. However, unlike ordinary buildings, the concept of floors is different here. The height, area, and even location of each floor are not fixed.
All spaces and settings must obey the overall structure.
The 13th to 17th floors are relatively regular. Most of the permanent population is concentrated in these floors. Other large and small floors are generally squeezed into very irregular areas. People who are poor or have no survival skills are often squeezed into these areas. place.
The epitome of the society that the Defiant is like is even more lawless.
When children grow up in this kind of environment, they become a constant source of fresh blood.
At first, the two of them walked side by side through areas.
Soon Cain began to lead the way and explain casually.
With the captain's authorization, she has become familiar with most areas of this submarine in the past three years.
Li Liang followed her and listened quietly to her explanation.
It turns out that the Defiant is a closed area. The area is almost the same as that of the Mayfly Control. The area is just the opposite. The thirteenth to seventeenth floors are apartments in the closed area. The area is not large and the sizes of the rooms are different. etc., the apartments are composed like a honeycomb, structure.
The other floors are enclosed areas with many large spaces.
Cain said that those huge spaces were originally supposed to have different functions and had only limited functions. Later, they were all emptied. It is impossible to imagine what they were used for back then.
Li Liang became curious and asked Cain to take him to see it.
They took the elevator to the 7th floor.
When the elevator door opens, a space close to the main control hall appears in front of you.
Sure enough, as Cain said, it is nothing.
As Li Liang walked in, the dome lit up, giving a clear view of the space.
So clean.
There wasn't even a scrap of paper on the metal floor.
Li Liang lowered his head and observed the ground as he walked.
Cain, a voice came from behind, "There are many fixing bolt holes on the floor, and there are indentations from heavy objects in the middle."
"Yes." Li Liang squatted down and reached out to touch a spot that was slightly smoothed. The ground was along a straight line and looked up. "Yes, there are not only a lot of equipment, but also many people. Judging from the traces left by the grinding, It’s divided into many areas.”
"Balentine said it looked like some kind of laboratory," Cain shrugged. "There are too few traces, so we can only guess blindly."
"Let's go check out a few other places." Li Liang stood up.
Half an hour later.
The two looked at seven more similar spaces. The only difference was that the spaces were similar. There was a space on the 10th floor where the metal floor had melted, indicating that the temperature had been ridiculously high.
Finally, they went to the place where Carlos was imprisoned when they first met.
It is located on the 6th floor and is still the original one. It looks extremely wide and there are large hoisting equipment left on the ground. The base and slide rails were used to trap them. The pool looks like some kind of giant equipment fixed and slotted.
After the last glimpse, they ran to the other side, to the control room, and then took the elevator to the main control hall.
This time Li Liang finally walked into the middle of a large pool and looked at the remnants and metal structures.
"One of my men said," Cain followed, "This looks like a dock. He has seen it in books before. In ancient times, people rarely took submarines, and they all sailed on the sea. .”
"Does this submarine have such a long history?" Li Liang remembered that the last time he was in the general control hall, he only read the latest mission log recorded three hundred years ago because there were too many records, and he didn't care about it at the time. The secret of the submarine is that the oldest mission record has not been revealed at all.
"It's been a long time." Cain took a breath. "And I once spent a whole day looking through the mission log and found that those records had been modified."
