Obey Your Orders

041

Arlo heard the sound of someone talking in a low voice.

The voice of the conversation was separated by a door, and it was a little vague, but Arlo could vaguely hear some words.

"...You can send a military doctor over to take a look."

"Okay, okay, I know, that's it..."

After a while, there was a loud slam of the door, so loud that A Luo's eyelids twitched in fright.

He tried to open his eyes, just in time for the door to open.

A brown-haired man wearing a sweater came in. The man was wearing a mask, met his eyes and said calmly, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

A Luo opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound at all.

The man went to the window, poured him a glass of water, then sat on the bed, helped him up, and gently fed him some water.

A Luo swallowed several big mouthfuls, feeling that his hot head had finally cooled down a little, and he asked, "Uncle Allen, who was it just now..."

"The man from the military department," the man said, taking off his mask, his tone was as cold as ever, "but he won't come again."

After a pause, he whispered again: "At least within a year."

A Luo hesitated, and asked cautiously: "Did he... want to take me away?"

"That's right," the man named Allen seemed reluctant to tell him about this matter. Seeing that he had finished drinking the water, he pushed him back on the bed and said, "You don't need to worry about these things, let's rest first. .”

Before walking out of this room, the man turned around and said, "But there is one thing you have to remember."

Arlo looked at each other, waiting for his next words.

Uncle Allen put on the mask again, and said: "What you are suffering from is red fever now, and you will struggle for three months before miraculously getting better. After three months, the army's conscription period for this year will be over, although it is a pity But it’s also impossible.”

A Luo lay on the bed, looked at each other, and nodded obediently.

The man stopped talking, exited the room and closed the door for him.

In the room where he was alone again, Arlo touched his forehead, which was still hot.

The atmosphere in the orphanage was heavy a week ago because eight or nine boys had reached the 12-year-old standard for conscription.

Some people were fighting high, and some were crying.

Arlo fell ill before he could figure out what to do with him, and the dean immediately isolated him.

Recently, a new type of infectious disease has spread nearby. It is said that it was accidentally brought back by a businessman who returned from an alien business trip.Compared with the viruses in the past, the infection rate of the virus this time is not very high, but because of the rapid development of the disease, the drug is still in the process of development, so the situation is a bit bad.

On the first night when Aluo had a fever, Uncle Allen brought his mother who was the head nurse in the hospital to see Aluo. Aluo just ate bad food and got gastroenteritis.

But he had to remember that he was actually suffering from red fever.

A Luo chanted it in his head a few times, and fell asleep again in a daze.

time flies.

The military recruits troops in the spring, and summer is here in a blink of an eye.

And the orphanage went from bustling to deserted in such a short period of two or three months.

There were not many children in the orphanage, less than twenty. After eight or nine children were taken away, the number was reduced to half of the original number, and three of them were adopted not long after the red fever passed. gone.

Life during that time was peaceful, even more peaceful than in the past.

But Uncle Allen's brows were always frowning, and Arlo was also very disturbed.

This feeling is like the strange and uncomfortable tranquility before the storm.

And Arlo's premonition soon came true.

The Phini Empire once again broke out with other countries.

Arlo doesn't understand some of the specific things, because every time there is a major event, the empire will completely stop running all media such as television broadcasting, and the newspaper has changed from the original daily one to irregular delivery, and there will never be any news on it. Report on things related to the war.

In A Luo's limited memory, the enemy has attacked their planet twice, and their side is safe and sound three times, but the adults in the neighborhood will talk about those things in small groups, mostly from They heard about it from their relatives and friends living on other planets.

The empire prevented the news from spreading on the surface, but it was unable to prevent the news from traveling on lines such as message calls.

Arlo felt so annoying, scared and angry.

There's going to be another war!

So annoying, annoying, annoying!

And this time the battle affecting the planet where they lived was even worse than the previous two times. Aluo saw many people die in front of him. Either collapsed, or exploded, and several were said to have been pierced, filled with sea water, and all those hiding inside were drowned.

Arlo felt that they were dead this time.

There were two children in the orphanage who didn't know what to think, and ran away on their own. The principal fled with the remaining four children including A Luo. One was lost in the chaos on the way, and the other was robbed The eater was killed by mistake, and the other was affected by a burst of bombing and died.

Arlo cried almost every day, but he gritted his teeth and dared not make too much noise, because the adults were also nervous.

Uncle Allen picked him up, and Arlo lay in his arms, trying to hold back his voice, but tears kept streaming down his face.And every time he finally had a rest, Uncle Allen would silently wipe away his tears and pat him on the back.

He is not very good at coaxing people with words, but just his arms are full of security.

They spent a few days looking for Uncle Allen's mother, who was away on a business trip at the time, and that was the only remaining relative of Uncle Allen.However, when they arrived at the hospital, they found that the hospital had been leveled at some point.

Arlo was petrified, and called the other party's name in a weak voice.

The brown-haired man stood among the ruins. He didn't know whether he was looking at the buildings in the distance or the sky, and he didn't move for a long time.

A Luo rummaged through the ruins in panic, not knowing whether to say good luck or bad luck, he found a bloody silk scarf.

He vaguely remembered that this was the favorite silk scarf of the dean's mother, and she would tie it around her neck every time she came to the orphanage.

Arlo froze, not knowing whether to call the dean.

In the next second, a hand reached out from behind him and took the silk scarf away.

Arlo turned around uneasily and stared at the dean, but the dean was still as calm as usual.

Without sadness or anger, he calmly looked at the silk scarf in his hand for a long time, calmly folded the silk scarf carefully, stuffed it into his pocket, and finally took A Luo's hand calmly, and left the ruins .

After that, they traveled for a long time.

The Empire does not have any evacuation plans for ordinary people.Their battles are always fought in such haste.

The army is in charge of itself. If ordinary people have private aircraft, they can leave if they want to.

There was an aircraft in the orphanage itself, but before the war broke out, it was broken by a few children playing in the yard. The director sent the aircraft to the repair shop for repairs. Before the repair could be completed, the war broke out.

The enemy's offensive was very fast, bombing and destroying many aircraft factories, and shooting down many aircraft that wanted to escape. Anyway, Arlo and Dean were trapped on that planet for a whole month.

One day, they hid together with a group of fleeing people.

Among them was a man with a bald head.

He was badly wounded, in his shoulder.The wound was roughly bandaged with cloth, but it was obviously unable to stop the deterioration of the injury, and the blood soaked the entire cloth.

His face was pale, without a trace of blood, and he fell asleep with a high fever. People around him avoided him, and no one helped him, because there were iron cuffs on his hands and feet, only the middle of the two iron cuffs. The chains were all broken so that his limbs could move freely.

It's a fugitive, obviously.

No one knew whether he had killed someone before or set fire to it, but meeting such a person at this time should be unlucky for many people.A Luo could see from the gazes of those people avoiding that they should all hope that the bald head would die as soon as possible.

He and Uncle Allen hid in that place for two days and two nights.

Uncle Allen had learned some basic medical knowledge from his mother, and he also brought medicine when he came out. He helped the bald man silently in the eyes of others.

As Uncle Allen once said, he will stand up for what he thinks is right.

During this period, Aluo heard the whispers from the people around him, saying that the enemy used to stand on the same front with the empire, and this time it seemed that they were trying to snatch something from the empire, so they turned friends into enemies.

Arlo pricked up his ears and listened curiously, and then he heard a low-pitched grunt in his ear.

A Luo looked back, and saw that the bald head had already woken up, his eyes slightly opened, his dry lips moved: "The old emperor is not greedy enough, and one day he will die a miserable death."

This was very vulgar. Uncle Allen was changing his bald head, and he frowned upon hearing this.

Especially the bald-headed Phoenician is not standard, and it sounds even more uncomfortable.

A Luo looked at the other party curiously, but because he was afraid of the other party's identity as a fugitive, he didn't dare to approach him.

The bald head propped up his body and sat up a little bit. The long lethargy made his body look like rust, and the sound of bones rubbing and stretching could be heard during the movements.

He first said "thank you" to Uncle Allen, then he noticed Aluo, and his eyes suddenly fixed on Aluo: "Hey, you..."

"What?" Uncle Allen glanced at him and asked.

The bald head sized him up carefully, touched his chin, and asked, "You brat, what's your name?"

A Luo glanced at Uncle Allen, seeing that he didn't intend to stop him from answering, so he obediently replied, "A Luo, my name is A Luo."

The bald head froze for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What's going on?" Uncle Allen lowered his heavy hand in displeasure, screamed with a bald head, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

He touched his bare head and was speechless: "It's a bit complicated to say..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly covered the wound.

Uncle Allen froze for a moment, then stopped bandaging, stared at the other party and asked, "What are you hiding inside?"

Arlo felt a little horrified—is there something hidden in this bald head? !

The bald head pressed the location of the wound, glanced at the group of people who were still far away from them, and raised the corners of his lips.

He whispered: "Although I don't know your name yet, if you help me once, I will help you once. Come with me tonight."

The bald head hides a special transmitter that is difficult to detect, and he even has rescuers!

It was night when Arlo knew the news, but he felt as if he saw the dawn.

His heart was beating "thump-thump-thump".

Arlo was terribly curious about the origin of the bald head, but Uncle Allen didn't ask, so he didn't ask.

He was firmly held by Uncle Allen, and followed the bald head to a place not far from the previous shelter. After waiting for a while, an aircraft landed, and someone inside waved at them.

Uncle Allen held Arlo's hand tightly, and the three of them entered the aircraft. Taking advantage of the moment when the Finni Empire and the enemy were briefly shut down, the aircraft took off and sailed into space.

Uncle Allen was silent for a while before he asked the bald head, "Can you send us to the Roentgen galaxy?"

The bald head was using a medical device with better curative effect with the help of his younger brother. He was a little surprised and also a little interested when he heard that: "You actually know that place? You can, but... maybe you have to wait for a while."

Arlo always felt that the tone of the bald head was a bit strange, but Uncle Alan didn't seem to notice it, so he just nodded: "Thank you."

Arlo looked up and asked, "Why do you want to go to the Roentgen galaxy?"

Aluo remembered that the Roentgen galaxy did not belong to the star domain of the Finni Empire. What is there?

As soon as the last sound fell, Arlo saw a smile on Uncle Allen's mouth, like a breeze making waves on a calm lake, the waves were gentle and wonderful.

"Because Caleb was there."

Arlo's eyes widened.

Uncle Allen touched his head and said with a smile: "Caleb didn't die. He was sick at the beginning, so serious that he had to be hospitalized, but he couldn't enter the hospital in Fei Ni, so I tried to find someone to bring him to the hospital." I sent him out. I haven't had the opportunity to communicate with him frequently this year, but I know that his illness has recovered."

Uncle Allen's voice was deep and mellow: "At that time, I couldn't leave with him, but now it's just me and you... We can live with Caleb, what do you think, Alo? We will live with Caleb in the future Let's live together, okay?"

Arlo listened and nodded heavily.

Sure!

After the war came, he witnessed so many deaths with his own eyes, and suddenly learned that people who had long thought to be dead were actually still alive. Arlo felt that there was no news that made him want to cry more excitedly than this.

Arlo was so happy that he was about to jump up, and inadvertently met the bald man who was sitting in the front row and was listening with great interest. The bald man looked at him with meaningful eyes.

Arlo asked, "What are you looking at?"

The bald head smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just lament the wonder of fate."

The bald head is a weirdo, Arlo thought.

And the bald head was still saying: "Ah Luo, do you think the past can be changed?"

Arlo didn't understand what he was trying to say.

Uncle Allen looked at the bald head inquisitively.

The bald head didn't care about Uncle Allen's gaze, and he just smiled and said: "I attribute all the future I know to the 'past', but now I'm still in the 'past'. I tried to change the 'past', but It failed, and my encounter with you at that place confirmed this. Of course, I can escape without you this time, but I have figured it out, the past cannot be changed. I know too little information, In the blind spot of information, something will inevitably happen to turn my changed destiny back on the right track. So I gave up resisting. I thought, life cannot be smooth sailing, there will always be some twists and turns, and now This kind of twists and turns is completely within my tolerance. As long as I don't die, this is the best result."

Uncle Allen listened, changed his previous relaxation, sat upright, and said in a deep tone, "What do you mean?"

"Don't be nervous," the bald man's eyes flickered, "just remember that the real future is still in our hands."

The bald boy was also confused: "Boss, what are you talking about—"

Before the words were spoken, suddenly, the aircraft was hit hard, and the entire aircraft flipped upside down in a vacuum, and Arlo screamed.

"Boss! We've been discovered!" The bald boy roared in a twirl, struggled to operate the control panel, and also launched an attack on the attacker!

Soon, however, his eyes widened.

He saw a warship showing itself in the distance.

"They, they actually sent a warship? They know it's you!" The little brother didn't dare to say anything, "Why? Did, did I get tracked when I came here? Boss, what should I do?!"

"That's why I said, no matter how hard you struggle, it's useless." The bald man shook his head and said with a smile, not showing the slightest nervousness.

Uncle Allen finally asked. He thought this question was not important at this time, but he was wrong.

He asked, "What is your identity?"

"I," the bald head grinned, "I'm just a pirate."

After saying that, he leaned over the control panel and took another shot!

The next second, Arlo screamed—two metal shells popped up and down his seat, locking him inside!

Arlo heard Uncle Allen's furious voice outside the metal shell: "What are you doing?"

The bald head said: "Don't worry, he still has his 'past' unfinished, and our future will soon begin."

Immediately afterwards, a sense of weightlessness hit, Arlo screamed and was ejected, and the quarrels in the aircraft disappeared in an instant.

Everything happened so suddenly that Arlo didn't understand anything.

He only knew that he cried and yelled for a long time in a panic in the metal capsule, and then passed out, and when he woke up, he had been rescued.

The metal capsule was opened, and the blinding light made him close his eyes.

He wanted to see Uncle Allen, but what he saw were soldiers from the Finni Empire.

This is the beginning of another period of his life.

The author has something to say: a chapter of memory killing

I don’t know if everyone can understand, but Gustav attributes the future he knows to the “past”, and the unknown future he doesn’t know is the real future~

Up to this moment in this chapter, Gustav's own "past" has officially come to an end, but Arlo's "past" has not yet ended, and he still has a long way to go~

I really don't understand. Wait for the next article.
