【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Chapter 62

Zhou Zekai couldn't remember how many times he had heard the words "Earth Defense War". The only thing he could be sure of was that he already knew the cause and effect of this battle before he personally experienced it.Even if Zhou Zekai wanted to, he could call up all the records of the war against aggression, but of course he wouldn't do that. After experiencing the Cybermen invasion, Zhou Zekai didn't want to repeat that mistake again.

It's just that if Zhou Zekai himself had a choice, he would of course want to stay away from this defensive battle—yes, he knew it was of great significance, and for the earth, it was the beginning of officially entering the interstellar world.Even though this planet was trying to go into space before, this is the first time that all human beings on Earth finally understand that they are indeed not alone in the vast universe.But Zhou Zekai also knew that it was another thickened point on the timeline between him and Ye Xiu, if it passed between his fingers, there would be very little time left for him.

When he received the task, he was rarely with his parents, but now he can no longer be called parents, because his mother was reborn again, and this time she even changed her gender.

His two fathers were still wandering in the universe looking for delicious food. This time when they returned home, they heard about their son's marriage belatedly, and came back to give Zhou Zekai a wedding gift.Zhou Zekai's marriage registration form clearly stated that his partner is a human being. The two elders didn't know that their son's partner was a fixed point. They naturally thought that Ye Xiu's life was short, but they didn't say anything useless. Zhou Zekai didn't mention it. They didn't ask to meet each other, they just packed a delicious meal and handed Zhou Zekai a pocket watch.

"Since we're all married, then this should be given to you." Father stroked the pattern on the watch cover, and then handed it to Zhou Zekai.On the cover is "week" written in the script of the time lords.It is very old, because the pattern is very shallow, and it is difficult to distinguish the words without looking carefully. It is obviously worn down over the years. "It is a family heirloom, and there is a rebirth energy inside."

Zhou Zekai's hands trembled visibly.

"It's a cycle in the grandparents, and it's running out now. It can be used by a partner."

One cycle... is twelve parts of rebirth energy, no wonder it is called a family heirloom.Even if there is only one copy left now, it is still precious-especially when the partner is of another race, it can be exchanged for more time together.

If it could be exchanged for Ye Xiu, let alone the life in this pocket watch, Zhou Zekai's remaining twelve lives could be given to Ye Xiu.

——It's just...it's impossible for Ye Xiu to use it after all.

Zhou Zekai lowered his head and held the exquisite pocket watch for a long time without saying a word.

Xu Shi noticed his son's depression, and the talkative father took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, son, we found that your cup was missing this time when we came back this time. It won't break, right? It can be repaired if it falls, you You won't throw it away, will you?"

It's a pity that this topic was not chosen well, Zhou Zekai sighed in his heart, and still replied: "Give it away." In fact, as far as the current point of time is concerned, this cup has not been given away, and it has been wrapped and placed in Tadi Sri waited for the moment that must come, but Zhou Zekai didn't want to explain why he put the cup into the Tadis.

"That's great. It's just that it's not good to lose yours. Or I can order a cup for your wife and put it at home instead of yours."

Zhou Zekai was about to change the subject again when his watch beeped.None of the children of time in Garifrey knew what the notification sound meant. Without Zhou Zekai needing to say it, the two fathers thoughtfully and quickly hugged him and bid farewell.

"Talk to you next time."

"Ah."

Zhou Zekai quickly returned to the TARDIS to change into his military uniform, and then arrived at the assembly point.The moment he opened the door and walked out, two people walked out of the two Tadis on the left and the other on the right—two of his acquaintances—Su Mucheng and Huang Shaotian.However, apart from the three of them and the general who announced the mission, there was no fifth person in the room.

Based on his understanding of the size of the enemy army, the technological level of the friendly army, and the importance and seriousness of the situation in the Earth Defense War, at least fifteen to twenty Time Lords should be sent to carry out this mission. more than one person.The earth plays an important role in the history of the universe. The intelligent life humans bred on this water-blue planet have multiplied their races to almost every corner of the universe. If they are strangled in the cradle, the entire history of the universe will be turned upside down.And there were only the three of them in this mission. According to past experience, it should be a battle with little difference in technological level between the enemy and us, at least not at the level of the Earth Defense War.

— escaped again.

Zhou Zekai, who was already 880 years old, had to say he was relieved.

But when the task data was transmitted to the watch, Zhou Zekai fell into the frozen ocean in an instant.

The mission location is on the earth, and the mission time is 9000 years ago. The mission goal is to defeat the invading coalition forces—including the Dalek, the Cybermen, the Santars, the Sons of Nightmare, Terileptil, Siltheen, Zagon people, etc. There are a long list of dozens of names, and just picking out a name from them will make children cry at night.

"I'm sorry—what's the situation?" Huang Shaotian swears in front of the general regardless of his rank, "The task rank is too high, isn't it that we only send three people here? Tell me there are others who have taken it." There must be at least [-] or [-] people on the mission. Is it just sending the three of us to deliver food? The earth in this era can’t even produce a decent spacecraft, and the weapons are still at the nuclear level. The three of us What are you going to fight with?!"

...that's right.

Although Zhou Zekai was really unwilling to face the Earth Defense War, he also knew that he couldn't escape.When he saw that the mission was indeed a war to defend the earth, the biggest reason why he felt chills was not that this day had come, but that there were only three of them who accepted this mission—even though they knew that this battle was the earth's successful defense against aggression. In the end, he also felt that goose bumps all over his body were about to rise.

Three time lords and a fifth-level planet, to fight against an alliance of this size?

Arabian Nights!

Even with nearly 900 years of war experience, Zhou Zekai couldn't imagine how they would win.

Su Mucheng thought for a while before speaking: "... If I'm not mistaken, this should be the battle that humans call the 'Earth Defense War', that is, in the "Human History Volume" of "Universe Chronicles". "The scene called 'Humanity's First Battle'. This is a very famous historical fixed point. It is different from the tasks we often receive to repair the timeline. It is an assistance task. If it is caused by not giving enough support The fixed point has been revised..." She gave a quick military salute, "Senior Colonel Su Mucheng hereby asks the council to redefine the number of combatants."

"Actually, if it weren't for a document, I would think it's unreasonable to send only three people." The general was not surprised by their protest, "No, to be precise, it is not only three people, but the age of appointment." Zhou Zekai, Huang Shaotian, and Su Mucheng are all 880 years old and all have the rank of senior colonel."

Now that the words have come to this point, the three of them immediately understood.

"That's right." Taking their expressions into his eyes, the general nodded and said, "This battle is a fixed point, and the three of you are part of the fixed point."

=========

That's right, I just want to maximize their Su value. The agreed youandme, savetheworld, this is not a slogan!
