Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

68. Beginning of the Blacksmith (2)

You hear a whistle. Lots of people open a street vendor and sell things excitedly. The heat of the merchants warms the air, so the captain doesn't feel the need to open the collar.

“Wait, a collar? ”

The captain looks down at his clothes. Earth Empire officer's uniform.

A suit that can only be worn on a day when you need a costume or when you go home and pass through a war suit. Many medals are neatly hung on the chest, shining gold, silver, blue and red, and the gold thread on the shoulder is soft.

Women passing by the market recognize the captain's clothes and greet him with a glance.

“Hoho · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The warm gaze of women is conveyed to the Space Force officers in uniform.

It's not the most intimidating look you can get in an Alphazeta.

Thanks to you, the captain knows exactly where this place is.

This is the moon.

Suddenly, next to the captain who realized his position, the Earth Coalition standard bike crashed. The young women's skirts flutter with gusts, and the middle-aged man's coffee spills out.

The man swears and picks up the fallen glass. I'm sorry. The captain apologizes on my behalf. They have work to do. I couldn't help it. Look, I'm getting calls now, too.

Could he be a prophet?

No, the captain's been through all this.

The watch he wears trembles. A small needle in the wristwatch pierces the blood vessel of Moses.

Encrypted data files take the form of concentrated nanohormones and spill information into the brain.

< Approaching unidentified space life. Emergency launch order for all fleets. Scramble initiated. Assemble immediately. >

“Aliens · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Rrrrgh. The captain has sharpened his teeth.

According to the memory, a drone will come for him shortly to take the captain.

The captain suddenly looks down at his hand. In his right hand is a flower.

A flower I bought for my wife, Irene. Roses and Fog Flowers.Now that I see them, it's just ominous. In his left hand is a toy of a transformed spacecraft that he bought for John wrapped in brown paper.

I feel the texture and look up at the sky. I see Earth. The clouds are gently flowing as if they were sugar powder on a blue planet.

Suddenly, I'm awake.

He hugs roses and toys and runs to die. Steal a hover bike with a key attached to it.

“Hey! What are you doing?! ”

“Soldiers steal! ”

People scream and swear. The captain runs without a second thought. Everyone looks at it strangely.

But as you lift the front wheel of the hover bike, you get scared and scatter screaming. The captain rushes toward his family, taking the stand by bike.

Look, there's the first boom.

Kuang!

Goofball!

The sound of iron shattering. The ceiling of the Moon Sector is crumbling. The screen revealing the Earth gradually distorts. Sparks splash and wires spill down. The video of the Earth being broadcast live becomes blurred.

But I still see the Earth clearly.

“Boop."

Boom!

Buried in the thunder of people's screams. The men in their right mind run like crazy after the captain in front of them.

In a flash, people become like a crowd, rushing to their homes and into the shelter.

Continues the explosion.

Look up at the sky.

Earth's oceans are slowly turning red.

Alien impact has begun.

On this day, mankind greeted the aliens for the first time.

“John! Damn it, John! ”

The captain steps on his bike roughly, screaming.

“Officer! Stop! Obey my orders! ”

“The way to go now is your home. Rest assured, all military families are on their way to the shelter. ”

“If you refuse to return, I will consider you a deserter! Gentlemen, respond to your orders immediately! ”

The scrambled drones who flew in to retrieve the Captain are chasing the Captain like crazy. One or two or three voices warn the captain.

They don't understand. Why would an officer with a launch order head home?

Eventually, the drones fly quickly to grab and grab the captain's bike.

“Dammit! What's your problem with meeting your family in a dream? ”

A harsh blasphemy erupts from the mouth of an ironclad captain.

This is a dream.

In reality, the captain immediately left toys and flowers to the drones and left for the battlefield.

Because it's a dream, why do you stop me from trying to do the opposite of what I remember?

The captain is stepping on Excel more roughly. The world crumbles as fast as it goes. Waves of blood erupt from the ends of the buildings, and the women who just sent warm glances to the captain become shredded meat and swallowed up by the protein waves.

While the world was slowly crumbling, and all living people, both men and women, were being swept away by the fluids of the alien hive mind,

Finally, the entire screen is torn, showing the earth in red. Items are swept under pressure into the torn black space.

But what you see there is a hundred kilometers of alien single-agent.

With one eye, you are looking down on the captain, who is smaller than an ant. The captain pulls the pistol out of his arms and shoots it straight into the eye.

“Don't block my way! ”

* * *

“John!"

The captain wakes up screaming in his bed.

“Wahhhh”

I could hardly breathe while sleeping. As I take a deep breath, my body finally starts to sweat.

It's a memory of a past I thought I'd forgotten.

I can't believe we have to come back and remember when the moon settlement was destroyed and the alien impact on Earth.

The captain wipes away the sweat as the Aliens tear at the ceiling of the Moon's residence like paper. The captain looks directly into the eyes of Alien Mind.

Reptile Eye? It really was a human eye. Human eyes. How many human genes have you eaten?

Weeing

The coffee machine is turning. Hot espresso pours out. When I smelled the coffee, I felt that the morning had just begun.

The captain takes a seat, washing off the goosebumps from his body with warm water.

When I sat down and wiped my face with my hands, I heard a familiar voice.

[You had a nightmare. Captain, the graph is very volatile. Should I call Francesco?]

“No, we have a lot of time until our next checkup. I want to be alone. ”

[Copy that, Captain. What would you do for breakfast?]

The captain responded differently to Tyrant asking for a meal.

“The people of Alphazeta will see us as aliens. Isn't that right?"

It was a slightly self-help question.

[I'm sorry, Captain. Aliens eat us, but we've never used any of them as food. I haven't eaten anything but slime.]

“Oh, pudding. ”

The captain chuckles. Sometimes a slime appeared on the diet. The native inhabitants hated it extremely, but the captain was decent considering the dishes he had eaten on Earth.

[As part of a test for long-term food storage and production · ·]

The captain of Tyrant's excuses seem a bit trivial.

“Thank you, Tyrant. No more nonsense jokes. Shall we start the day? ”

[Hold on, Captain. Minimum nutrition should be provided · ·]

The captain gets up and leaves for the bridge without listening to Tyrant. On the way, Tyrant insisted on bringing the protein bar to the drone.

Eventually, the captain had to eat a whole protein bar before he got to the bridge.

At last, the entire screen is white as it enters the bridge. It was photon distortion during a long-range warp navigation.

“Captain coming aboard the bridge! ”

The guard who saw the captain coming shouts, the operators are all awake.

“Yours sincerely! ”

The captain salutes them and sits in the captain's seat. While the operators were busy managing, the captain was briefed routinely.

All fleets, engine systems nominal. All lanes are clear. Estimated arrival time. 33 hours to go.]

“Connect the infirmary. ”

As the captain ordered, Francesco appeared on the screen. Francesco salutes. The captain salutes.

“Francesco. How are the patients? ”

“It's incurable. We've quarantined them now. ”

There are many pillars behind Francesco's back. The pillars that were covering the entire wall inside the gravitational field were sealing tools, one after the other.

If you're trapped in there, there's no way out of your soul or anything else. It was the only way to make a choice when the problem of possession was not completely resolved.

“Glad you caught the Black Dragon King. We need to find a way to deal with possession by inflicting enough pain. But if the problem isn't solved, you might want to consider moving everyone to a new body. ”

“Hopefully we can get this resolved in the next 33 hours. Francesco. The Hives of Alphazeta will be waiting for the outcome of the war. ”

“By the way, sir. Are you going to order a forced migration? ”

Francesco said to me,

The captain turns around, and with a nanogram, Francesco forms a new body. The captain shakes his head.

“We'll have to move the Hive around. Those who choose to stay will have to stay, but they will have to tell us what kind of threat the world is facing now. In fact, there's no other way for them to live than to follow us. ”

Aliens are coming back. Neither Floraju nor the Pantheon are enemies. There won't be enough lives on that planet.

However, the inhabitants of the planet have not been home for a year or a thousand years, but have lived for 100,000 years. I felt a tremendous refusal to move the stars.

The captain knew that feeling well. He also walked on the Moon's surface, and he saw the sea of the earth rising red above his head.

Humanity made the choice to burn the entire ocean instead of giving up the Earth.

“I understand, Captain. I wish I could save one more. ”

The captain received a report from Francesco and had the entire fleet quarantined. From the world of Companion 8, the fleet quickly flew to Alphazeta.

Many people have been killed or sealed.

The assault ship lost a lot, and the assailants took heavy damage. Nevertheless, the hearts of the academy members who had won a great victory were greatly swelled and the morale seemed to pierce the sky. They flew into a mythical battlefield and won a battle with the dragons who were treated like gods.

So for 33 hours, the fleet has finally returned to Alphazeta.
