We were out in the sun for a while.People who are baked in the sun are very comfortable and can't help but hum a few times.It's like lying in bed with the sun on the weekend.

We also walked around the hotel a few times, and there was an open space around the hotel.

"Laura," I said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Laura asked.

"Have you thought about the future?"

"after?"

"Yes, after we successfully boarded the Sun."

Laura squinted her eyes, her dark brown hair was blowing in the wind, her legs were shaking, and she was staring into the distance.In the distance are layers of mountains.I think she's looking further than that.

"I don't know," she said after a long time, "I never thought about it."

For a person whose life may be in danger every day, the most important thing is now, and if there is no possibility now, how can we talk about the future?

Only those who have time are in the mood to talk about the future, and they have room to think about the future.

"Then you have to think about it now." I smiled and patted Laura on the shoulder.

Even though it's been a while since Laura is so thin and can feel the bones, it hurts every time I do.

"A bright future always needs a plan."

"Where will you go when we board the Sunset?" Laura looked at me with serious eyes.She returned my questions to me.

I was watched by Laura, and an indescribable feeling came from the bottom of my heart.

I can't help but bow my head.

I have never been used to being watched, and I still watch clearly with my eyes.Because that would leave me at a loss and feel like doing anything would hurt the other person's feelings.It's hard for me not to care what other people think.

"I... I will probably leave." I was silent for a long time before answering.

After all, it means that my mission is over when they board the Sun, and I have no reason to stay here after the mission is over.

"And after you leave?" Laura continued, just as I had asked her.

"Do a few more similar missions..." I told them why I came here, and it doesn't hurt to be honest, after all, they can't get in touch with a second person like me, "Then I can complete my mission." wished."

"So your wish is your purpose?"

"nature."

"What about after fulfilling your wish? Just like you asked me just now, after boarding the Sunset?"

There was a fire in Laura's brown eyes, the fire of obsession.

Rarely can such fire be seen in a man's eyes, yet so fully seen.

I saw a shadow of myself in Laura.That's normal, I'm the same as Laura in some ways.

"I'll go on with my old life." I answered quickly.

What else can I do?Even surviving a car crash wouldn't change my life, I just didn't die.Everything in life in the past was too ordinary, so ordinary that you could see the end at a glance.

Instead, the life of doing tasks (that's what I call it, but honestly it's not called a task, after all, tasks are mandatory, and I am voluntary) makes me feel comfortable, even though it is usually difficult, it makes me Found the direction.

Laura didn't ask any more questions, she stopped and looked into the distance, as if some jewel in the distance was slowly rising.

I stopped too, and I too looked into the distance like Laura.

We have never been the same, I have not experienced what she felt, and she has not experienced what I have felt, even though I said that we are similar to some extent, even though we all want to be considerate of each other, but in the face of reality But it seemed extremely powerless.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

Laura and I were soon back at the hotel, and after reckoning we had enough time, we walked up the stairs to our room.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Stop!" I yelled in a low voice, grabbing Laura.

Laura looked at me puzzled, and seeing that I was very serious, she complied without asking any further questions.She is a child who can judge the situation very well.

And I didn't have the mood to explain to Laura at this time, almost all my attention was on those strange figures upstairs, their appearance pulled my heart up high.

Look at the walking posture of those people, they have definitely received professional training, ordinary people can't do that, and the black things in their hands are inadvertently exposed...

I realized they were coming.

How could they come after them?This question appeared in my mind after I realized this, and it could not dissipate for a long time, as if it was the ultimate question of life.

This time Charles didn’t have an ability riot. His Alzheimer’s disease was also treated when I was treating the spine. After all, Alzheimer’s disease is essentially a disease of the brain.

Although my progress in the treatment of this disease is very slow, it can definitely be reduced to such an extent that it will not recur.Then receive some drug treatment regularly, it can be stable for a long time.

And we didn't go to the place we had booked, we chose a small town on purpose. If we didn't come here on purpose, no one would come here. Compared with other places, it is too careless. Ordinary can't be ordinary.

So the question remains, how do these people know we're here?And found us within a day?

There must be something helping them, they don't have superpowers, all they have is technology.

I was thinking wildly, and a huge storm was blowing up in my head.I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

--Locator.

This situation can only be the locator!

I guess these people pressed the locator where on one of us.Judging by the current situation, I think it is on Caliban, because they went to where Caliban is.

But my heart told me otherwise.

Caliban has no contact with these people, it can't be him, no matter how powerful these people are, they need contact to place the locator.Only me, Laura, Logan had contact with them.

Excluding Logan who was left outside, it can only be me and Laura.

……

On the coat that Laura used to wear!

I came up with the most reasonable answer.

Laura didn't wear the old coat after buying the new one, and left the old coat in Logan's room, so they would go to where Caliban was instead of coming to me and Laura.

This way everything is explained.

Then I really wanted to smile wryly.

What is this?It's ridiculous that the people we recruited turned out to be other people's crisis, right?

My thinking only took a few seconds in reality, and the time in my thinking always passes quickly.

The sound upstairs was noisy, there was the sound of glass shattering and bullets firing, and it became a mess.The orchestra failed again, the level of this orchestra is not good...

Others cried out in pain.

It was Caliban's cry, and it caught my full attention as soon as it appeared, and even though it wasn't loud compared to the other sounds, it was so obvious to me.

I clenched my fists, and an impulse rose in my heart, which was burning like a flame exposed to sufficient oxygen.

go up!go up!It's not impossible for you to save him!Hurry up and save!

Yeah, it's not impossible for me to save Caliban even if we're surrounded by so many people, I have a chance, I really have a chance.

"Mo Sheng..." Laura called my name in a very low voice.She saw my painful and tangled expression.

"Are you going to save Caliban?" I asked her very seriously.

I'll go if Laura says yes, really, why wouldn't I want to save my companion?How can I bear to leave him?

But the reality is that saving him will not be easy. The possibility of success means that there is a high possibility of failure.

We cannot afford to fail, not at all.

Laura's attack power is so strong, I can dodge the attack and heal her at the same time, let her defeat these people.I can also shoot them with bullets if I can.

But the premise is that there are conditions. It would be good to defeat them, but also to grab the gun empty-handed?Ha, then what luck do I have.As long as the opponent has weapons and you are unarmed, the possibility of defeating the opponent is very small.This is difficult even for highly trained people.

These twists and turns told me that my luck is definitely not good.I used to be lucky enough to do missions, but... is it not the case?

"I..." Laura hesitated, "I know we'd better not go to rescue."

This time it was my turn to be surprised. I didn't expect Laura to answer this way.I actually asked Laura this question just to motivate myself.

"I know we might save Caliban, but it's only possible, isn't it? We need to preserve our strength as much as possible, even if it's not human."

Laura lowered her head, frowned, trying to ignore the voice from above, and finally spoke in a whisper.

"There are always sacrifices in the way of victory."

"Victories that seem to come without sacrifice often have greater unknowable dangers."

I nodded: "I see."

We are all sensible people, and we know which is the best choice when the situation arises.

Sorry Caliban, I say this in my heart, sorry I couldn't save you.

In fact, I understand that Caliban does not want us to be caught. If he knew that we saw all this, he would not want us to rescue him. He would want us to survive. He would want us to successfully board the Sun. .

Caliban is a very nice guy with a good sense of humor and a lot of knowledge.

I never thought he would look like this before getting to know him.

His image in the movie is too thin to reflect more aspects.All I knew of him in the past was his name.

I silently made a sign of the cross in my heart.

Of course I don't believe in God, and neither does Caliban, but when people are helpless, they always hope that there is something that can help them.I think if there is a God, I will sincerely ask God to bless Caliban.

But at this time, I forgot that God never responds to the requests of mortals, and even if he responds, he will not send blessings.Because if blessings are going to be showered why didn't they come sooner?

God doesn't love mutants.
