When the Galaxy Wept
She couldn’t run very fast, and she was exhausted. When she stood behind him, he turned around instinctively. His face looked tougher and more angular with the greasepaint, and his dark eyes were suddenly lit up. He spread his arms to hold her. He had held her like this many times. But this time, she felt scared, mixed with feelings of sadness and happiness. She was afraid that she would lose him and that he would lose himself! “Is everything alright?” His voice was a little hoarse. He looked at her carefully and didn’t want to miss any change in her countenance. “I’m fine.” She was suddenly worried when she thought about the situation now,” How could you come!” This public and hasty rebellion would finally hurt themselves. He looked at her and turned around to speak to the people beside them, “Let’s go!” The moment after he finished speaking, the fierce gunfire fell onto the crowd like raindrops. The people screamed in fear, and the blood was flowing like a river. “Team 1 takes the women to go! Team 2 and Team 3 covered them.” Patrick said resolutely. He held Emerald’s hand and hid behind the wall. Then he raised his gun to strafe the above. “Go!” He shouted without turning his head. Emerald didn’t listen to him. She moved quickly and pulled out a gun from his waist, and she pointed it at a machine head behind a big glass window. Wait. She gasped with surprise. On the roof of the ten-floor building, two people were standing there. One person’s metal body was reflecting the light in the sunset, and the other one was tall and handsome, whose body under the neck was soaked with blood and standing in front of that machine man. Evan Silas! He was not dead. Emerald didn’t know why she could still feel that he was smiling coldly at such a long distance. Emerald raised the gun and kept shooting him. Her moves were smooth and fast. However, the two people on the roof reacted quickly, and they stepped back and disappeared in a second! “Let’s go!” Patrick pulled Emerald, and they followed the troop, running out of the hospital. The street was empty. It seemed that many people were peeking through the closed windows. Emerald followed Patrick to run out, and one middle-aged man who stood in the corner immediately took them to a clothes store by the side without saying anything. Emerald saw that some pregnant women were led by some young men who looked like students and walked in the same direction. The young soldiers who followed Patrick ran in another direction. Patrick and Emerald followed that man, walking through the back door of the store and several alleys, and arrived at an empty house. They changed clothes and cleaned up their faces. When they walked out of the house, a car was waiting for them. Then they went to the space harbor, and Patrick took out a passport, and they got on a Cheetah. The pilot was a mercenary, and he nodded to Patrick. It was already ten o’clock at night when they arrived home in the southern hemisphere after so many twists and turns. They were both exhausted when they walked into the room. Emerald held Patrick and asked, “What is going to happen to those pregnant women?” “Don’t worry.” Patrick looked sharply at her, “They were taken to the central square of Freedom City.” “What?”“There was a strike in the center.” He helped Emerald sit on the sofa carefully, “Even the machine men don’t want to face a strike of a planet. Compared to all the things happening to all the planets, the accidents with pregnant women were not that important, do you understand?” Emerald did. It was still too late to launch a full-scale attack, and more people would be killed. But they couldn’t watch the pregnant women die, so they were forced to do this in a hurry. According to his plan, the more chaotic the situation was, the better it was for the women, and the pregnant women would be safe. “Will you be in danger since you have killed so many machine men?” “Don’t worry.” Patrick touched her face, “No one can recognize me except you.” Emerald couldn’t be relieved at all. She knew that this action tonight was totally out of Patrick’s expectations. It was impossible that the machine men wouldn’t investigate this matter. How could the machine man not know that Patrick was the very leader of humans? That night, the couple lay with each other peacefully, but in the central square of the northern hemisphere, the lights were all full-on. Evan Silas stood on the roof of the mansion, looking at the thousands of people on the ground. Kahlil was standing on his left, and Major Doyle on his right. “Major, you have used the wrong way.” He said coldly. Doyle looked at his back and said, “No, Commander. If the rebel army didn’t receive the message, the accidents wouldn’t have happened today.” Evan Silas looked down. Although the machine guards were holding guns and standing on the sides of the square, the humans on the ground were still excited, shouting about killing the criminals. Over ten women who were killed in the gunfight were put in the center of the square, with candles lit up and put by the side of their bodies. Although they were far away from the square, Evan could still smell the blood. “I’m not talking about the accidents.” Evan said, “We conquered the species militarily, but if we want them to provide resources and work for us for a long time, we have to let them submit themselves to the rule of us physically and psychologically. The number of humans is a thousand times bigger than us. If we can’t create a steady situation, we will also have a tough time. Compared to dealing with the redundancy, keeping the situation stable and their compliance with us are more important.” Kahlil looked at Doyle coldly, “I’m really surprised that you thought of such a stupid idea.” Doyle was silent. Evan said to Kahlil, “Give him to the humans on the ground.” Kahlil was surprised because he didn’t expect that Evan was willing to deliver his important subordinate in order to quell the insurrection. Doyle was taken by the guards. Kahlil looked at Evan Silas, “Commander, you have made the right choice.” Evan smiled, “Humans like to keep the rules for reward and punishment strictly. It would help if you made an announcement for me that Doyle only represents himself, and he has already been punished. If machine men kill humans again, they will also be sentenced to death. However, humans can’t provoke machine men or attack machine men actively.
