When the Galaxy Wept
Evan sighed and looked at the moon through the window with his hands on his back, “You have been lost in the role of Calman Henry. Humans are excellent, but this human civilization is no match for us. Although machine civilization originated from human civilization, it is still much better than humans. I don’t care about Saul Silas since he was just a psycho, but you have always been the most excellent soldier of the Empire. You and I have made three successful arrivals in the Orcs of Galaxy Zebra, Zergs of Andromeda, and humans of Galaxy Eternity. But this time, you seem to have lost your own standards.” Kahlil had persuaded Evan not to kill the rest of the mercenaries and saved Patrick when Evan wanted to kill him. He knew that Evan would suspect him, so he said calmly, “Brother, I have always been responsible and loyal to my species. I wanted to save Patrick because his talent is useful to us. If we kill him, more humans will fight against us. What we want is the benefit for the Empire, not a slaughter.” Evan’s voice was as cold as his metal body, “Really? Then what did you want to hide when you violated the basic military disciplines to delete the logbooks of the humans?” In Kahlil’s five thousand years of life, a hundred years was only a drop in a bucket. He had spent over a thousand years traveling alone. If he hadn’t been Calman Henry, he would definitely cast the gorge at the weak, inefficient humans just like Evan Silas. However, having experienced the suffering and happiness, craziness, and affection of Calman, Kahlil couldn’t and didn’t even want to get out of this role after he woke up. He clearly remembered the feeling of being a machine man who had no feeling. They couldn’t feel the pleasure and pain physically and had no emotions in their heart. They kept invading the species in other galaxies not because they liked the pleasure of conquest but for the prosperity of their own species. The First Machine Civilization, which was glorious before, only had one troop now. They needed a lot of things to make their Empire great again. But now, he wanted other things too. He wanted Patrick and Emerald to be alive, and he wanted them to be able to look at him, even with hatred. Therefore, when faced with Evan’s question, he smiled after a short silence, “Evan, you’re wrong. If you hadn’t been a human, you could never have those amazing feelings.” “Do you mean the weak emotions of humans?” Evan looked at him coldly. He stepped up and walked to Evan, whose machine body was a head taller than him. He touched that metal chest and said, “No. I mean the feelings which can make your veins, bones, and your spirits tremble, such as the feeling of losing the one you love the most or having an orgasm after you drained all your strength. If you had experienced those feelings before, you would understand that even though humans are the weakest species, we think what they have is way better than us.”After saying those words, Kahlil saluted the Commander respectfully and left. Evan smiles, however, after being silent for a while. He thought Kahlil said this much only because he wanted to avoid answering his question directly. He didn’t want to talk about the deleted logbooks and the woman who could wake up Stonehenge. Besides, the woman was Patrick Lewis’s wife. This young man wanted to protect humans. Ah... He walked to the first floor and sat on the sofa, touching Veronica’s smooth body as if he was touching an animal. Stone man? The mysterious stone man who could easily change the tide of the battle? When the situation was stable, maybe he should have a look. The hot summer in the southern hemisphere was more delightful than in other places. Emerald felt better here in her late pregnancy.She was wearing a big maternity dress and sitting in the living room, looking outside. Finally, from a distance, she saw a lot of people walking in at the entrance of the base. The men were still wearing their original uniforms, but there were codes on their sleeves. The uniforms were all very dirty, stained with machine oil and dust after a day of work. But it was the happiest moment for Emerald of every day. She smiled and watched the tall man walk closer. He was tall and outstanding among the mercenaries, just like his sleeves’ “001” code. Patrick opened the door and saw her happy face. He opened up his arms unconsciously to hold her and smelled the scent on her body. Then he put down his hands so that she wouldn’t get the smell of his body. She understood what he was doing and just bumped into his arms with a sweet groan. He held her soft body and put his big hands softly on her stomach. “It’s soon, Emerald.” He said in a low voice, “We have got people approaching the Viper. Soon we can attack them.” Emerald nodded. The Viper was a fighter who could leap a short distance continuously. Emerald knew that humans were not only the laborers and vanguards in battles but also where the ground staff. Although the machine men wouldn’t let humans get to know their core secrets, Patrick and others still tried their best to know their technology in order to plan the counterattack. But they had also paid the price. She looked down and dragged him to the table, “Ilona had sent some fresh vegetables today. Go have a shower and have dinner.” Patrick smiled, “I want to eat more than vegetables.” Emerald pushed him into the bathroom, “Just have a shower now.”Emerald listened to the sound of the water and stared at the light meals on the table. She thought that, compared to winning the war, what she hoped more was that the three of them could be together safe and sound. In the past two months, Kahlil visited them several times. With his help, the humans in this base didn’t suffer too much. Emerald was especially taken care of. Although they had heard about slaughters on other planets and the riots on the Zerg Planet, the situation was much better than they expected when they lost the war. “Boom!” A big noise interrupted Emerald’s thought. She suddenly realized what was happening and rushed to the bathroom. Water was flowing out of the showerhead, and Patrick was lying on the ceramic tiles with wounds on his body. His eyes were closed, and he lost consciousness. “Patrick! Patrick!” Emerald was scared.
