"Delta one is ready, delta 2 is ready to escape." Ethan waited for a moment, but there was no sound from Rowan so he repeated again: "I repeat delta 3 are you ready to jump?"

Ethan looked at the camera in Rowan's space car lying unconscious on his chair with blushing cheeks.

"There's a problem at delta three. We can't teleport, so we need to make an emergency landing."

"Damn it, everyone in the city is from the auction house looking for us." Akira angrily said while he gritted his teeth then he added: "We can only land in a nearby place that no living being could be spotted."

Ethan immediately looked at the map then said: "There's an abandoned building near us, and there should be a usable storm shelter. There are still an hour before the next storm breaks out."

Ethan controls the emergency self-driving mode of Rowan's space car and transfers him to his side and laid him down, then begins to cooperate with Akira to operate the space car to find the abandoned city.

This time, the god of fate finally favored them no he means system 005 help.

[Nephew don't worry I will try to lead the wrong way all your pursuers but I can't promise that they couldn't find you.] System 005 said.

[That's fine uncle and thank you for your help.] Ethan said so before the  storm surge broke out, Ethan and his companions, plus a prisoner in a sealed cabin, successfully reached the shelter.

The sky outside had turned completely dark, the wind was blowing hard, the air was filled with noisy white noise, and all electronic equipment and thermal weapons were inoperable.

Akira sat in front of the campfire, looking at Ethan's handsome profile.

Ethan felt his wife gaze and turned his head to look at him. He still didn't smile, but his expression was very gentle. It seemed that he was recalling the past.

Looking at Ethan's gentle expression, Akira suddenly felt an impulse: "Old man, I've always wanted to talk to you."

In fact, Ethan has never understood why the original Akira and Ethan fight in the original world plot. The relationship between them is very deep. They grew up together as friends, studied together as classmates, and shared life and death as comrades-in-arms... It is a bit unreasonable that they fell out just because of one person.

After all, during this period of time, seeing and using the body of his grandson he discovered that the original Akira was not the kind of person who would forget his friends for the sake of love and would not distinguish right from wrong.

Perhaps something bad happened that was plotted by someone else so the two fought. Thinking of this, Ethan felt like he was right so he wanted to hear what his wife wanted to say that was now Akira.

"Old man, have you noticed that you are becoming less and less like yourself? Ever since we formed our squad, I feel like you have slowly become a different person and you began to distance yourself from me." Then he added while seriously looking at Ethan: "Whenever you meet me inside or outside of work, you always say, 'Sir, this is not in compliance with military regulations, sir, this requires the approval of the higher ups you always follow the military rules that aren't like you at all."

Seeing the reaction on Ethan's face, Akira seemed to be angry, and the questions that had been entangled in his heart for a long time burst out: "You even go to please those higher ups who are just sitting there doing nothing but enjoying their salary while seating." Then he added: "What is the purpose of our forming hope squad, have you forgotten already!"

Ethan didn't speak he just listened carefully.

"Many people say that you are so scheming for your own future, to enter the higher-ranks in the military, and that you are just using the Hope squad as a stepping stone." Akira angrily said then he calmed down and added: "But I don't believe it, I don't believe any of it. I still clearly remember every scene we spent together in the past being my friend and also my own companion so no words could remove my trust towards you."

Akira walked up to Ethan, squatted down and gently put his hand on Ethan's hand looking at him: "Ethan, we are companions and close friends so what's happening to you now, can you share it with me?"

So that's how it is. Their arguments was not just because of Rowan. To a greater extent, Akira's anger were due to his pain at his best friend's change of personalities.

Ethan just opened his mouth, but suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind them, which sounded like someone in pain, and mixed with other different things.
