    Chapter 271 Wake up in your arms (1)

    Ryan was originally angry and unbridled, but he didn't expect Jiang Jianming to give him such a sentence, and he was so choked that he couldn't refute: "You...!"

    Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows lukewarmly, and patted Lean's palm on him, "How am I?"

    He bent down to pick up the gun that fell on the ground, bang! He patted the bedside table hard, "Did you do it like you did or did you talk?"

    Ryan's scalp was numb, and he realized that Jiang Jianming had really irritated him.

    But His Royal Highness refused to admit that he was wrong when he was angry, and snorted coldly, lying back on the bed with his back to the outside, "That's because you always have an accident, so I need to save you... In the end, it's your problem..."

    After turning around and lying down, Ryan saw the porthole of the room. At this moment, there is a vast expanse of white outside the window, as if the end is coming.

    The frenzy of crystal particles engulfed the entire space station, and the human fortress on the side where they were located became a flat boat in the tsunami.

    Jiang Jianming stood sideways beside the bed, ignoring His Highness, and only said lightly to Xie Yuduo and Sylph: "You all go ahead, I am here with you."

    Sylph: "...Alright, both of you calm down, don't do anything impulsive, let alone fight. If you have any questions, please call me at any time."

    After there were only two people left in the room, Jiang Jianming was silent for a while, and didn't say anything.

    He sat next to Ryan, sitting in a small corner of the bed, hung up the headset, turned on his brain, and began to give instructions to the battlefield on his own.

    At first, Ryan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but he could vaguely hear the breathing of the man beside the bed mixed in the gap between the clear voice... It was rapid and weak, not very normal.

    The crown prince felt like he was going to be nervous. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he would lift the quilt and sit up and scold people——

    But he earned a bit, but could not get up. He just lifted a few centimeters and fell back to the bed with a muffled sound, as stiff as a wooden stick.

    Ryan opened his eyes slightly.

    Jiang Jianming was sitting next to him, and of course he noticed Ryan's movements, but at the moment he just glanced at him lightly.

    He continued to give instructions to the other side of the communication, but stretched out a hand and gently patted Ryan twice across the quilt.

    The window glass reflected the figures of the two of them. It was covered with a layer of frost-like crystals, and it was making a light thud, which made people feel uneasy and made the room quiet.

    After the communication was over, Jiang Jianming coughed twice, put his hand into the quilt very naturally, and took out his medicine from Ryan's clothes pocket.

    At this moment, Ryan's heart uncontrollably filled with sadness.

    He thought to himself: Immediately, his conscious projection will be cut off, and then he will wake up in the cold crystal nest, go crazy because of the mental overload, and then be corroded by crystal particles to death.

    When I'm gone, I can't be by Jiang's side anymore, who can carry this person's standing medicine in their arms every day in the future?

    Who would take him to bed when he stayed up late at work? Who would hold him to sleep with a crystal bone?

    I have been tamed by him properly, and I know what kind of expression this person is happy, and what kind of tone is angry.

    He knew that this person would frown when he was sick, but with a straight and thin spine, he walked past people with a sullen face.

    He knows that this person is sometimes sad, and occasionally looks at the distant sky in a trance, but if you ask him, he will only smile perfunctorily and digress from the conversation.

    If he is gone... who will take care of such a fragile and disabled human being? Who can take care of themselves so thoughtfully?

    He hopes that there is such a person, but he does not believe that there is such a person.

    There is no one else in the world who can love the one he loves like this except himself.

    "……ginger."

    So as soon as he opened his mouth, Ryan's eyes were blurred with tears.

    A flash of pain flashed across his expression, and he asked in a low voice, "How are you going to live without me?"

    Jiang Jianming slowly put down the medicine he had taken and placed it next to the Wings of Venus.

    He said disappointedly: "Yeah, what should I do..."

    "His Royal Highness went to the Crystal Nest to die alone, and when the news of the death reached the imperial capital, I secretly went to the White Jade Palace."

    "That night, it was raining heavily, and the wind was cooling down again. It was very cold."

    "I knelt down in the shade of the bushes outside the palace, drenched in the rain, and heard the high officials and nobles who came and went crying as if the sky was falling, and that His Highness had sacrificed."

    "..."

    Ryan closed his eyes, a drop of water quickly slipped from the corner of the prince's eye, and disappeared between the ends of his pale golden hair, leaving a small dark trace on the pillow towel.

    "I listened to it for a few minutes and then withdrew, preparing to go back to the military academy. But I went out in a hurry, so I didn't bring an umbrella. I wanted to buy a coat on the side of the road, and then stop a car or an aircraft, but I felt that it would not work. Find my whereabouts in the payment records."

    Jiang Jianming sighed, "So I went back."

    Looking back now, it was a long time ago.

    But everything is still like yesterday. At the moment of farewell, the mad waves of crystal particles swallowed up by the mighty today are like the pouring rain curtain in front of that year.

    "His Royal Highness also knows that my luck has never been very good. Halfway through, the street in front of me was blocked due to an accident, so I can only take a detour."

    "There was lightning and thunder in the sky. I walked in the rain for most of the night, and in the end I was so cold that no one was awake. At that time, I looked at the streets in the gray rain and thought: This world, this is how it is from now on. Right."

    Having said that, Jiang Jianming stopped. He reached out and wiped away the tears at the end of Ryan's eyes, and looked quietly at the silver and white gun on the table.

    "The widow has done it, and it doesn't taste very good. I don't like it myself, and I don't want His Highness to be sad. If there is a choice this time, let's live and die together."

    Lai An was startled suddenly, turned around and grabbed Jiang Jianming's wrist: "You are not allowed!"

    Before he finished speaking, the room shook violently, and there was a harsh sound of "crack" from the porthole.

    Jiang Jianming's color changed suddenly, and he turned around: "Oops, the window..."

    The alloy glass made of special materials and installed with a layer of crystal blocking barrier, the outer layer actually collapsed with a crack visible to the naked eye!

    There was an exclamation from outside the room, and the concentration of crystal particles in the surroundings suddenly increased again!

    Ryan gritted his teeth and stood up, pulled Jiang Jianming into his arms, and suddenly unfolded his crystal bone to wrap him tightly: "Don't move!"

    ...It was still too late, he heard the suppressed groan, the body in his arms tensed and trembled at first, and then fell softly into his crystal bone the next second.

    Lean's blood turned cold all of a sudden. He didn't dare to look down at Jiang Jianming's situation, he just raised his arm towards the window with difficulty, his five fingers clenched suddenly, hatred between his teeth: "Give me...get out!!"

    A splendid red-gold color exploded in the air outside the window, briefly dispelling the impacted white crystal.

    "Jiang!" Only then did he loosen his crystal bones, and anxiously cupped the cheek of the person in his arms with his palm, "How is it, did it hurt just now?"

    "Do not……"

    Jiang Jianming's face was pale, he closed his eyes and just panted, unable to say a complete sentence for a while, "Outside, outside..."

    There was a lot of noise outside, and there were sounds of running and shouting one after another. The attack just now spread to the entire space station, and the soldiers panicked.

    Lean walked out with Jiang Jianming in his arms. The two of them walked out of the room, only to see crystals appearing on the steel and iron pillars inside the space station, and the rows of portholes were dazzling with white light.

    Outside the space station, the shadow of the battleship can still be vaguely seen, like rubble struggling in the huge waves. Countless muzzle salvos, countless missiles thrown at the wave of crystal particles. But the white light just got closer and thicker, obscuring the starlight in the universe.

    The stretcher rushed past the two of them, and a dying soldier looked up at the sky, squinting his eyes that were beginning to dilate, and muttered in a low voice, "Snow... Is it snowing..."

    In the crystal nest, there is no snow and no sunshine.

    More soldiers were silent, with hatred and exhaustion deep in their eyes, and something resembling despair.

    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that under such an offensive, the space station will not be able to support the Pangu Axe when it is fully charged again. When this fortress collapses, if you continue to fight, you can only use human life as a flesh and blood city wall to block it.

    Lean held Jiang Jianming's wrist tightly, and the two of them leaned against the corner beside the porthole and walked forward against the flow of people running.

    Ryan asked in a low voice, "How long until the Pangu Axe is fully charged?"

    There was actually a lot of noise around, but the not-so-loud voice clearly fell into Jiang Jianming's ears.

    He lowered his pale face, squinted at the wrist phone, panted slightly, and said, "There are still two days and a little more than four hours."

    The two were silent for a moment in unison.

    Ryan looked up and said calmly, "You know the truth better than me. My conscious projection is about to break, so it's better to use this matrix as soon as possible."

    "..."

    "About a day and a half, is that enough?"

    "..."

    "ginger?"

    "...Well," Jiang Jianming said softly with dark eyes, "I'm listening, what did His Highness just ask?"

    Ryan stopped asking, and walked silently for a few more seconds. He raised his emerald eyes, "What did you mean in the room just now? You want to die with me?"

    Jiang Jianming: "I said that life and death are shared. It is obviously a matter of tragic and solemn and seeking benevolence. How could it be said by His Royal Highness that you have become so petty?"

    Ryan pinched his wrist bone and said, "Nonsense, you don't understand, life and death are not the same as republican sacrifice..."

    "—Two Your Highnesses!"

    Suddenly, there is noise ahead. A man in a Jin Rilun uniform rushed in front of them, it was Major Zheng Yue.

    "It turns out that the two of you are here... Now the situation is not very good, the space station is about to be unable to hold it!"

    Zheng Yue had already used up his base body. At this time, he was wearing heavy armor and panting like a cow. It was obvious that he had just withdrawn from the battlefield. "Colonel Linzhi said that part of the structure may have to be abandoned. We will escort you to the core area..."

    Ryan nodded: "Yes, I'm going to solve this problem."

    Zheng Yue was stunned: "Ah?...Solution, solution?"

    Without waiting for Zheng Yue to ask again, Ryan pulled Jiang Jianming straight through the automatic door and walked forward.

    Outside the open-air starship harbor was bleak. The shield can no longer completely block the invasion of crystal particles, and the surface is covered with frost-like white.

    The broken battleship was slanted in the corner, the blackened damage was smoking thick smoke, and the muzzle was thick with crystals, and the technical soldiers were pulling it down for repair.

    Across the porthole, on the high platform above the ramp, stood the figures of several generals.

    "Major General Xie, you can't go!"

    Lin Zhi stopped in front of Xie Yuduo with red eyes: "Listen to the next official, let's retreat for now! The space station can no longer be maintained. If we hold on, all the soldiers will die here!"

    Xie Yuduo said angrily: "According to the current offensive, step back step by step, wait until all the crystal particles rush to the territory of the empire, all human beings will die!"

    Jin Min: "Then you can't go out now!"

    Xie Yuduo got angry and raised his arm and slapped Jin Min away: "Go away! Laozi's soldiers are still fucking in the crystal nest, you tell me not to go!?"

    Lieutenant General Tang looked sad, and Celine closed her eyes in silence.

    The final counterattack of the Crystal Nest's core completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

    Now the imperial army is in a dilemma, but no matter what the final victory or defeat, the tragic sacrifice is unavoidable.

    Suddenly, footsteps came from behind. Everyone turned back and saw that Lean was holding Jiang Jianming's wrist and stepped up the gangway step by step.

    "Stop fighting," Ryan said, "I'm not allowed to retreat."

    In the different expressions of everyone, the prince raised his graceful jaw, "Open the port of the starship port, I want to go out."

    Everyone was shocked, but it was Jiang Jianming who looked first.

    "His Royal Highness Le'an," Celine said quickly, "now the concentration of crystal particles outside is already very high. If the opening is opened, the damage to the disabled, cough... to the crystalless race will be..."

    Ryan was expressionless: "It doesn't matter."

    Jiang Jianming frowned and smiled, and said warmly, "Listen to His Highness, he said it doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter."

    "By the way," he said again, "help me connect with the Imperial Army. I have something to say to Commander Chen."

    "Little Your Excellency?" Xie Yuduo's face turned blue, and an ominous omen appeared out of nowhere, causing a chill to rise on his back.

    Logically speaking, it couldn't be worse than the status quo, but he felt that something was wrong with the two His Royal Highnesses, and they became wrong together in a tacit understanding.

    Lin Zhi wondered: "Little Your Excellency, but the current situation, communication..."

    Jiang Jianming interrupted him: "I know it's difficult, but I do have something important to say."

    "If it is really impossible to connect to the empire from here, then let a small number of technical soldiers independently jump for a certain distance, and connect to the past through a bridge transfer method, is it feasible?"

    Lin Zhi immediately realized the importance of it, and bowed her head solemnly: "Yes! I'll do it now when I'm an official."

    Jiang Jianming nodded, and suddenly realized that the temperature that had been holding his wrist had left.

    Ryan took two steps forward, turned his back to the entrance of Starship Harbor, and looked at him calmly.

    The crystal bone slowly stretched out from behind, like a single wing burning with flame, and handed it to Jiang Jianming.

    "Send me?"

    Jiang Jianming stretched out his hand and put the red-gold crystal bone on his fingertips: "Send it."
