"呲呲——" At this moment, the barrier above had cracks like glass, and it seemed that it was about to break.
"Could it be that..." Gumen suddenly felt powerless. He knew very well that because his body was almost unable to bear the burden, the barrier could no longer be maintained. If he fell down now, then the only thing waiting for him would be death...
"No..." Looking at the hero who fell on the cold ground in front of him, Gumen gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain the barrier. At this time, all the oxygen in the return cabin had also passed away, and his face was as red as a green mountain. The captain reached out and covered his chest tightly like before:
"No, I can't fall here yet..."
"Captain Qingshan's last wish, I must... must help him fulfill it!!" He silently encouraged himself in his heart, but the situation around him was constantly deteriorating, and the operating system in front exploded with a series of "bang bang bang" There was a loud sound, and it immediately stopped running and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
"呲呲——" The return cabin also lost its final power, and the few remaining dim lights were completely extinguished, leaving only a darkness that shrouded the solitary door, and the light of the silver barrier above was even more dim. The barrier is already covered with cracks and seems to be shattered at any time...
"Damn it..." He gritted his teeth and tried to take out the Evolution Truster to transform, but his body refused to obey his orders at all. He fell to the ground helplessly before he could take out the Evolution Truster.
"Uh..." His consciousness gradually blurred, and he could hardly feel his body anymore. He used his last remaining strength to reach out and grab Captain Qingshan's body tightly. At this moment, there was a "bang" and the light above him The tube shattered and fell. Gumen couldn't see clearly what was going on. His body instinctively turned over to block Captain Qingshan. The pain coming from his back was no longer important. He wanted to protect the hero's body.
"Bang!" Just when Gumen was about to be unable to hold on, the sound of metal collision came from the return cabin, and then a message came from Beleg on his arm: "Gumen, hold on, we are coming!!! "
There were sounds of footsteps coming from above. It was Captain Wakura and the others who were coming. Gumen could no longer hold on. In an instant, he lost consciousness and fell on Captain Aoyama. The barrier above also shattered and floated away, allowing the night attack team to Enter the rescue.
"Put an oxygen mask on him quickly!!"
"Gumen members, hold on! Hold on!!"
A familiar voice came to their ears. As they put on masks, their mouths were finally able to breathe in the long-lost oxygen, and their lost consciousness gradually became blurry again.
"Uh..." Qingshan slowly opened his eyes. He still felt some pain in his chest, but he was much more relaxed than before. He blinked and got up from the bed. Seeing that he woke up, Shizhi walked to him. He asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"Well...I'm fine..."
"Hmm... That's good..." Shiori looked confused. She had received the news from Captain Wakura and the others, and was hesitating whether to tell Qingshan.
"Senior Hiraki, what's wrong?" Seeing Shiori hesitate to speak, Aoyama tilted his head, feeling very strange.
Shiori spoke slowly, her voice trembling: "Captain Qingshan..."
"By the way, what happened to my father? Haven't they returned to Earth yet?" Qingshan, who had just woken up from a coma, realized that he was here to pick up his father and Gumen.
"He...he..." Shizhi turned her back and sobbed softly. No matter how stupid Aoyama was, he understood what she meant. His heart seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder. He was suddenly out of breath and his eyes were filled with tears. He opened his eyes as wide as a bell in belief, obviously not daring to accept this fact.
"Impossible...no way...no way!" He got down from the bed in confusion. If Shizhi hadn't reached out to support him in time, he almost fell to the ground again.
"Attention all units, they are back!" At this time, the staff who had been waiting here for a long time began to get busy. They cleared an open space in front and two people used radar and high beam to transmit signals upward.
"Whoops--" The black spots in the distance slowly grew larger, and two Chrome Chester fighter planes emerged. Two steel cables were pulled behind the fighter planes to pull the dilapidated return capsule. The "TLT-J" on it ” The signs have also long since become difficult to read.
"Team Qingshan, they are back..." Shizhi helped Qingshan walk to the waiting area. His vision was blocked by tears. In the haze, as the fighter plane landed, a stream of air blew in and wiped away the tears in his eyes. The world in his eyes seemed so dim at this moment.
The cockpit was opened, and the staff stepped forward to set up the ladder. They then stepped forward to assist Hecang Captain and the others in lifting the solitary door down first and placing it on a stretcher to be rushed to the hospital.
Qingshan's eyes did not stay too much on Gumen. Seeing that it was Senior Gumen who was being carried down, he immediately turned his eyes to the stretcher on the other side. The stretcher over there was covered with a white cloth, covering the person on it. , but it couldn't hide the bright red blood, which was dyed with a little bit of red clouds.
"Dad!!!" Aoyama yelled in collapse and rushed forward, kneeling on the ground in front of the stretcher. The people next to him were worried that he would interfere with their work, so when they were about to step forward and pull him away, Captain Wakura stopped him: " Lying up there is his father! Please give him some time!"
"This..." The two people in white protective suits looked at each other and stepped back consciously. The staff carrying the stretcher also gently lowered the stretcher and stood aside. Everyone also stopped what they were doing and became silent in unison. Come down and give time to the father and son.
Qingshan kowtowed three times in a row. There were red marks on his forehead, and blood oozed slightly.
"Dad..." He stretched out his trembling hand and gently opened a corner of the white cloth, and slowly saw the familiar face he hadn't seen for many years...
Compared to when he just left, his temples were quietly tinged with gray, and the handsome dark face in his memory also had wrinkles and was slightly white...
The bloodless lips were slightly opened, revealing the teeth stained red by blood. Qingshan leaned in his father's broad arms, but could no longer feel any warmth. Tears had already poured out like spring water, dripping on his face. On the earth, grief and grief spread throughout the entire earth along with tears.
The cries of crows lingered in the air for a long time, and the sorrow disappeared for a long time, adding a sense of sadness and desolation.
No one thought that the reunion of father and son, who had not seen each other for many years, would be in this form that no one wanted to see...
Shiori turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears. Vice-captain Saijo and Captain Wakura also had sore noses. Everyone around them was moved by this and secretly wiped away their tears.
Administrator Matsunaga, accompanied by Saya Suto, also rushed over. He did not step forward directly, but stood aside and quietly watched the final reunion of Aoyama and his son. His nose became sore and a few tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
"Administrator, here." Saya Suto handed him the handkerchief. He took off his glasses, reached out to take them, gently wiped his tears, and said slowly with a trembling voice: "Arrange the best burial for Captain Izumi Ichiro Aoyama. The ceremony... will be presided over by me personally..."
"Administrator Matsunaga..." Saya Suto frowned slightly. She knew what Admin Matsunaga was thinking, but she was very worried about his health.
"I'm fine..." Manager Matsunaga put on his glasses again and sighed: "On the other hand, that child... is really alone now..."
"Dad...Dad...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qingshan fell into deep self-blame. During the call today, she was unwilling to look at him again, but now they are already two places apart, and there is no chance to speak...
All the incomprehensions: the hatred for his father's sudden departure, the resentment that he never came back after his mother passed away, the unfeeling for him not contacting her for many years... have all disappeared at this moment...
In his eyes, only the stalwart figure who had set a good example for him since he was a child, and those broad shoulders, had always been his strong pillar and goal...
But now...
He regretted so much that he looked up to the sky and shouted in pain: "Dad——"
This hoarse roar made people cry even more. Even Lone Men, who had just been taken away by the ambulance, slowly opened his eyes, and a drop of hot tears quietly rolled down from the corner of his eyes...
"Captain Aoyama..." Captain Wakura knelt down and patted his shoulder gently. He held back his tears and said, "Please forgive me...Captain Aoyama certainly doesn't want to see his son cry like this..." …”
"Captain..." Qingshan slowly raised his head, tears mixed with snot falling down uncontrollably. Captain Wakura reached out to hug him, giving him encouragement and support like a father, trying to cheer him up.
"Ugh...Captain, I don't have a father anymore..." Aoyama collapsed like a child and cried loudly. Captain Wakura nodded slightly, hugged him tightly, and let him vent his pain to his heart's content...
"This is..." The girl in white who was watching from a distance reached out and touched the tears rolling down her cheeks, blinked her eyes, and felt very incredible: "Why... I would shed tears like them... …”
Gusts of cold wind blew by, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and offered her best wishes to the hero. After half a minute of silence, she opened her eyes and slowly turned around and left.
"Humans...are such incredible creatures..."
After a long time, Taiyang coughed twice violently and stopped crying. His eyes were dull and he was exhausted.
"Let's go, let's see Captain Aoyama off and send your father off..." Captain Wakura helped him up, nodded and motioned to the staff next to him to step forward, cover the white cloth back, and lift the stretcher again.
"No, let me do it..." Qingshan wanted to go up and carry the stretcher himself, but he almost stumbled and fell to the ground...
"Qingshan..."
