She seemed to be in a dream.
A very long dream.
The picture of the dream was not very clear, like an old-fashioned projector with poor signal reception, and the flickering picture from time to time made her see it unrealistically.
In the dream, she was like a bystander, watching the protagonist in the dream grow up.
It was a little girl with beautiful golden hair. She smiled brightly, like the sun in winter. There are faint freckles on the face, with innocence and youthfulness. She remained relatively calm most of the time, without anger, sadness, joy, etc., just like a machine.
Or, everyone would do this in a dream. she thinks.
But when looking at the little girl in the dream, she always smiled knowingly from time to time. She always felt that this little girl had a lot to do with herself. Until one day, there was a mirror hanging in the girl's room. And in the mirror, she finally saw herself.
This was the first time she saw herself in a dream.
The same brilliant long golden hair, the same faint freckles on the face, the difference is that what she sees is a little girl who has grown up. So she knew that this little girl was herself, and this dream was a fragment of some of her memories.
It's just that for some reason, the memory seemed a little strange, as if she was looking at another person's life.
The little girl grew up in a base, an underground base that combines work and life.
Z7 base.
The name suddenly appeared in her mind. She was sure it was the code name for the base, where the girl's grandfather was a supervisor. In this marginal base, Old Jack is the master. Under the protection of her grandfather, the little girl lives much better than other peers. She is smart, beautiful, like a delicate doll, and people in the base like her very much.
In this way, the girl gradually became a young girl.
She grew taller and became more beautiful. What is rare is that she found some medical books in some old books collected by her grandfather, and learned some superficial knowledge. So grandpa entrusted her to take care of the base's infirmary, and she lived up to the entrustment and became the youngest and most beautiful doctor in the base.
Originally, she thought that the days would pass day by day, and the girl would eventually become a woman, marry a husband and have children. But with his arrival, her life turned upside down. But the memory about her is so clear. The screen is no longer flickering and blurry. Like a player with stable functions, it uses extremely high pixels to present clear pictures in front of her eyes.
He came back from the mining area with his grandfather, and it was in the work area that the girl met him for the first time. On this man's face, she saw eyes of two different pupil colors, one black and one golden.
zero!
A name naturally popped up in her mind, accompanied by various inexplicable emotions. She laughed and cried too, wanting to touch the man in the dream, wanting to fall into his arms. She knew that only in his arms was the warmest harbor in the world.
But she couldn't do it, no matter how hard she tried, her fingertips were always a little bit worse than the man in the dream. Although it is close at hand, it has become the end of the world.
The next dream, she began to look at it seriously, no longer like before. Because he will always appear by the girl's side, he has entered the depths of her memory. He stayed in the base for two years, and these two years were the happiest period for the girl because he was there.
Unfortunately, it still came.
A monster broke into the base and killed many people, including the girl's grandpa. The girl was infected with the blood of the monster, and the survivors of the base unanimously demanded that she leave. At that moment, she was hesitant and at a loss. The world is big, but there is no place for her to settle down.
Just then, he grabbed her hand. This catch is forever.
The next memories are wilderness and ruins.
In order to heal the girl who was contaminated by the blood of the devil, he took her on the road alone. They walked through the uninhabited wilderness, wandered the ruins of the living corpses, and made some friends at the same time. They have helped and been helped. Although these days were hard, the girl lived a fulfilling life and gradually walked out of the haze of the base.
In a base called Remut, the girl dedicated her body to him. That was her first time, an unforgettable first time!
The girl became a woman overnight, and she became stronger. She believes that her man will definitely heal her. This kind of trust may be groundless, but believing is believing, and she never doubts this. She even fantasized about giving him two children, one male and one female. The man is like him, handsome and brave. The woman is just like me, beautiful and lively.
But fate is like a prank.
When he was on a mission, she was forcibly taken away by a man named Sauron. She resisted, but how could she be against those wolf-like soldiers, let alone Sauron with the third-level fire ability.
She thought she would never see him again, but unexpectedly, he came.
She was happy, but scared at the same time. I am happy because of his arrival, and he never gave up on himself. The fear is that he is alone, and he is not Sauron's opponent at all. She tossed and turned in a night of gunshots and howling monsters. But to her surprise, the proud man named Sauron seemed to have suffered a lot under his hands, and she was proud of him.
But the next morning, the nightmare happened.
Sauron took her as bait and asked him to show himself. She knew what that meant. He was alone. If he showed up, he would be a sieve to the firemen deployed around him. So she yelled desperately to let him go quickly, she didn't want him to have an accident, even if she would die!
But he still appeared, and at that moment, happiness and pain came together. She was held on the neck by a man with a knife, and she could only watch with tears in his eyes as he was shot in the body, blood spattering.
She tried to remember that it was her own blood.
And at this moment, Sauron asked him to join. He actually agreed. The woman knew that he didn't want to be someone else's lackey, but for her, this man chose to bow his knees.
Just when Sauron moved the muzzle of the gun and wanted to leave a second mark on him, she said nothing, and wiped her neck on the sharp blade.
He can sacrifice so many things for her, and she can also sacrifice her life for him. Just for his safety, and... freedom!
"No!"
His shrill cry resounded on the ruins, like a lone wolf howling up to the sky. But she didn't regret it. At this moment, she completely and resolutely jumped into the abyss of death.
As long as you can live in the sun, it is enough.
"Zero, live!"
After reading this sentence carefully, she, who had been acting as a bystander, came back to her senses, and what she was facing was the ground that was getting closer. She and herself in the dream finally overlapped at this moment. She felt the happiness, sadness, and helplessness filling her chest.
She finally remembered her name.
Leah!
The picture went dark.
But not long after, there were two faint lights in the darkness. She wanted to see clearly, so she desperately opened her heavy eyelids. The light became more and more intense, and finally filled the whole world. After a while, Liya got used to the light, and what fell into her eyes was a gray-white ceiling. On the ceiling, the incandescent lamps sounded the sound of alternating current from time to time, gently echoing in this quiet room, as if in a leisurely afternoon.
After a few seconds of blankness in her mind, her eyes slowly fell, and she saw a man sitting beside her bed, with his upper body lying on the bed, with his head resting on his arms as if he was asleep. The fine black hair fell quietly on the forehead, and the closed eyes, the eyelids fluttered from time to time, did not know what kind of dream he was having. The straight bridge of the nose is paired with tightly pursed lips, while the sharp chin is covered with little blue stubble, giving a haggard feeling.
Liya's eyes became blurry just like that, it was because hot tears gushed out of the eye sockets.
It's him, it's zero!
How could she forget this face, that figure fighting for her blood, still hovering in her mind so clearly. Liya was happy and scared, and she was happy to see Zero again, which meant that nothing happened to him. What was frightening was that it was just a dream.
So she tried to support her body, but her body was like a rusty machine, making every movement of her seem so strenuous. As if sensing her movements, Zero suddenly opened his eyes, and the figure of Lia who was about to sit up broke into his eyes.
Without extra words, Zero stood up and hugged Lia in his arms.
Leah's body froze slightly, and then she responded vigorously, and at the same time she said in tears: "Tell me, this is not a dream. Zero, is it really you?"
"It's me." Zero's eyes were red, he closed his eyes, kissed Liya's forehead and said: "This is not a dream. Liya, thank God, you finally woke up. It's okay, everything is over."
"You said I woke up, did I sleep for a long time?"
After the initial excitement passed, the two gradually calmed down. Zero was helping Lia out of bed, helping her do a few simple body movements, so as to speed up blood circulation and let Lia recover faster. When Liya asked this sentence, the door of Tianhao's room opened, and a man walked in and said with a smile, "I slept for a long time, to be exact, one year and nine months."
"Doctor Victor?" Leah remembered this man, he was the doctor Zero found for herself in the end. Hearing what Victor said, Leah covered her mouth and said, "I've been asleep for so long?"
"You slept for a long time, after all, you were seriously injured. But, you're already healed, aren't you?" Zero smiled.
Liya touched her neck subconsciously and said, "I remember..."
"Neck is injured, that's right." Victor took over the words and said, "An ordinary person would have died with such a serious injury. In order to keep you, Zero, he... did a lot. In short, you are fine And the infection is gone. Congratulations, Leah, you've been reborn."
Leah didn't know that Victor's words had puns, but she heard that Zero had done a lot for herself, although Victor didn't explain. No matter how stupid Ke Liya was, she knew that if she wanted to keep a dying person, she would pay nothing but a lot. She wanted to cry, but Coria tried to make herself laugh. She told herself that for Zero, what she would leave to him in the future would be her own smile instead of crying.
"I know you have a lot to say, but please forgive me. Now that Leah is awake, let me do a routine checkup on her first."
Naturally, the two of them would not refuse the doctor's request. The routine inspection is also very simple and fast, mainly for Victor to record various basic data of Leah to confirm that she will not have any genetic defects after rebirth.
After the examination, Leah had to stay for two more days, so that Victor could observe whether her vital signs were stable. So Ling also stayed, and in two days, Ling told her what had happened in the past two years. So Leah knew that she was now in a wonderful city called Asgard, and also knew that Zero already had a certain status in this city, and even had her own company and base.
Many times, Leah just listened quietly. She wanted to write down all this desperately so that she could make up for the past two years. At the same time, I also know how much effort Zero has put in in the past two years to be able to have these achievements.
And in this, of course, Zero hides some truth. For example, the real Leah died in the ruins, and now she is reborn using the genetic technology of the new era. During the narration, Zero observed Leah, and found that the memory that Victor implanted in her mind had completely become a part of her life, so she was really relieved.
Memory implantation is the most critical part of the entire rebirth plan. After all, if she cannot have the memory that belongs to Leah, then even though she looks exactly like Leah, she will always be another person. When the memory was implanted, Victor was worried that it would repel Leah's own will, which would cause nervous system disorders or even collapse. So he insisted on slowing down the progress of the entire memory transplant so that Leah could accept the memory.
It turned out that Victor was right, and even Zero couldn't tell the difference between this Leah and the previous one. Through the inheritance of memory, the dead Leah was reborn in a new body!
Two days passed quickly, and Leah was finally "discharged". When Zero led her out of the laboratory on the outskirts of Asgard, Lia was surprised to find the blue sky above the city. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked into Zero's eyes full of excitement. Although Zero had told her that the sky over Asgard was covered with countless holographic projection panels, and the central computer would automatically evolve various natural weather.
This was the first time for Kelia to see it with her own eyes, and she was deeply shocked when she saw the sky that was only mentioned in the books and the scenery that only existed in the old times.
Zero didn't say anything, and let Leah just stand there for a while. He believed that everyone who grew up in the wilderness would look like Leah when they first entered Asgard. Speaking of which, when he was extradited to this majestic city by Valkyrie, why not.
After the shock passed, Leah sat in the SUV. Zero drove the car onto the highway in Asgard, and Liya sat in the car, looking around curiously, and there was an exclamation from inside. Zero listened to his ears and showed a knowing smile.
He was very happy, the chain of fate that had been broken for two years was finally reconnected today!
