Is it because the enemy is present, but you are separated from your friends?

Or was the clue just in front of him, but he was stopped by Occidentus with his hand? Or maybe it's because his fate and the future of his companions are at stake, yet he can only do nothing?

Yu Yuan has always been calm in mind, strong and firm, even in the darkest and gloomy moment, he can still control himself; but at this moment, he can feel that his emotions are like the sea before the storm. The surface of the water will be completely overturned and shattered, setting off a stormy sea that even he has never seen a few times.

He clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and tried to flatten the black waves.

After consciously feeling relieved, he looked out of the spaceship window again.

As if realizing that the trap had been discovered, the dark clouds outside also gave up their camouflage—where there were glass and gaps, they could see layers of thick, tumbling smoke-gray clouds, still slowly squeezing into the ship. Come.

It is impossible to jump ship; we can only find a way to destroy these clouds, right?

"...So, the reason why these clouds flow into the spaceship seems to be to force us to jump off the ship and jump into the trap." The pilot didn't seem to notice Yu Yuan's emotional ups and downs, and said thoughtfully: "However, we all After discovering the trap, how come the speed of the cloud and mist flowing in is still so slow?"

What, you want it to fill the whole ship soon?

Yu Yuan was poked by a sharp irritability in his heart, and almost let this sentence come out—fortunately, he stopped himself in time. In secret surprise, he tried his best to calmly say: "...how do I know?"

...Although she has calmed down a bit, she still falls into the category of restlessness and impatience.

The driver glanced up at him and finally noticed.

"Don't worry, I know you must be anxious in your heart, we will find a way step by step, and we will always be able to get out." He thought for a while, and persuaded as if comforting. "I wonder... Could it be that the travel speed of these clouds and mists is so slow, otherwise, why did they force us to jump off the ship? Just wrap them up in one breath."

Yu Yuan secretly felt a little ashamed, and said, "It makes sense...let me try to see if I can destroy them."

The driver wasn't the only one who had weapons from the arsenal; Yu Yuan pulled out a long weapon that looked like a flamethrower from the container, and aimed its "mouth" at the clouds covering the windows. After a pause, he said, "But, I can't guarantee your spaceship..."

"It's all right," the driver said immediately.

Yu Yuan raised his weapon again. It can destroy and cut off the connection between the target molecules, and generate a force of deviation between the molecules, so that the target—whether it is a person or an object—is no longer the original target; the lethality is so powerful The light emitted by the weapon is gentle and gentle, like a candle shining on a cloud.

When Yu Yuan pressed the switch, another thought arose in his mind.

Didn't the pilot hope to earn an extra ticket when he boarded the ship? It seems that he is also a person who cares about money, why is he suddenly so ruthless that even the spaceship can be sacrificed neatly?

As soon as Yu Yuan thought about it, he suddenly felt dislike for it—because he has always been unwilling to catch wind and suspect others of stealing the axe.

Besides, from another point of view, this change is quite normal; after all, it is a choice between life and property now, but anyone who is not greedy knows which is more important.

"Be careful!" The driver suddenly yelled, making Yu Yuan startled. He raised his eyes hastily, and found that the light outlet of his weapon was quite close to the smoke-gray cloud; he hurriedly turned off the switch, and quickly moved it away from the cloud—fortunately, he moved it in time and didn't get the rubbish on it. Clouds that cannot be wiped away.

"I didn't move." Yu Yuan looked between the two repeatedly, "Did the clouds come over?"

"It's not impossible to say that it floated over..." The driver's face was a little dignified. "But I've been staring at this cloud from the side, wanting to see if it can be destroyed like this. For a few seconds, it didn't change, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly thickened That's why I'm close to you."

"What you want to say is..." Yu Yuan frowned, "There are more clouds coming in from outside?"

"It shouldn't be." The driver seemed very puzzled, "The speed of the cloud and mist flow in has always been stable, and there has never been a sudden increase. It's still the same logic, if it can expand rapidly in a short time, why didn't it swallow us in one bite?" gone?"

That is how the matter? Could it be that the means of destruction stimulated the expansion of the cloud?

Yu Yuan forcibly swallowed his anxiety and disappointment, unwilling to open his mouth when he was in a bad mood, so as not to say something he regretted. One thing can be seen, that is, the long molecular gun should not be of much use; he put it away again, and looked around the cabin.

His eyes were fixed on the far wall.

When that enlightenment came into his mind, Yu Yuan almost thought for a moment that the deck under his feet had been broken, and he was falling straight down——he shook his head, calmed down, and then opened in a low voice. Mouth: "...I see."

"What?"

"Look," Yu Yuan raised his chin towards the distant cabin. "That knife you threw."

There was a bit of cloud on the tip of the knife, and the pilot put the cloud back into the scabbard and threw it into the corner of the spaceship; after that, Yu Yuan noticed it for the first time—because there was a Something that shouldn't exist caught his attention.

At this moment, the top of the scabbard was also trapped in a fist-sized cloud.

"Why..." The driver was startled, and was about to go up to look, but stopped again.

"That cloud is much bigger than the one you got on the knife before, isn't it? There is no cloud and mist flowing towards it nearby, where did the extra cloud come from?" Yu Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly, "And, It should be in the scabbard—"

The driver also thought about it, turned around, with a look of surprise on his face: "Could it be..."

Yu Yuan nodded. "I'm afraid that things touched by the cloud will also turn into clouds and continue to erode the surrounding objects."

"So, just now when you shone the light on the clouds..." The driver whispered, "The reason why there was a layer of cloud suddenly and almost hit your light exit is because the light also changed. turned into a cloud."

Not only has it turned into a cloud; because light is continuous, after it turns into a cloud, it is also going back to the original path to "backlash"——When Yu Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help feeling rejoicing, and stretched out his hand to pat the driver's face. Shoulder, said: "Thank you for reminding me... I just lost my mind for a moment. If it weren't for you, Yunwu might have touched my gun, or even me."

Even if he was in trouble, he still had a companion by his side who could trust his back and his life.

"We were supposed to take care of each other." The driver nodded, still a little bit stunned. "Even light can be turned into clouds...then what else can we destroy?"

"Wind?" After he finished speaking, he shook his head again and said in a low voice, "No, we can't reach the window anymore, if the wind blows the clouds all over the boat..."

What's more, there is no shortage of wind in the sky, and the spacecraft is still caught by this big cloud.

In the next - an hour? two hours? Yu Yuan couldn't tell the difference anymore—during the time, the two of them tried all the methods and guesses they could think of.

The speed of the cloud and mist flow was neither too fast nor too slow, as if they had a natural confidence in engulfing the two of them, eroding the spaceship bit by bit; any "damage" that the two of them could inflict on the cloud and mist ranged from a few seconds to a few minutes after being calm. After a period of time, it will suddenly turn into a new cloud—whether cutting, freezing, sealing, burning, etc... can't reduce the cloud by a single bit.

When the two were at their wit's end, the entire cockpit had become a cloud of mist, and no one could walk in.

They sat in the passenger seat, and for a while, neither one spoke nor moved as the cloud gradually surrounded them. The original "short rest" has become a sleepy city with no strength.

The front of the spaceship, the ceiling, and the walls of the ship hit by clouds from the outside are full of thick clouds that are spreading and spreading in all directions. The speed of the cloud remained unchanged, occupying every inch of the spaceship step by step, waiting indifferently and calmly for the moment when it touched the two of them.

Gradually, the safe space for the two became smaller and smaller, until they had to sit shoulder to shoulder, curled up in the last small cloudless space, unable to even raise their heads - because the sky above had long been heavy. Overwhelmed with clouds.

Impossible... In the world, there is both a way of life and a way of death; if there is hope, there is also despair.

He has no way to leave from here, Yu Yuan came up with this idea. He fell into a desperate situation, and he did everything he could, but it still didn't help... This seemed to be the first time in his life that he encountered real and complete despair.

This emotion was too strong, but it made his whole body loosen, as if every muscle was facing death first; his body was almost calm, and his mind gradually slipped into the dark abyss.

I'm so sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

"Yu Yuan," the driver called softly.

Yu Yuan didn't move.

He struggled all his life, but he didn't know that he was trapped in the clouds and mist; in such a desperate last moment, he had nothing but one trustworthy companion left——

At this moment, Yu Yuan felt something touch the back of his neck. As if he was hallucinating, a distant, angry man's voice brushed past his ears: "Let me see who touched you!"

Immediately, the touch on the neck and the sound in the ears disappeared.

Yu Yuan slowly turned his head towards the driver.

"You... used a special item on me just now?"
