Chapter 19
Met Charlie Tai For The First Time
Knocked at the door of the room gentle, but there was no any response inside. Sheilor took a look at the green indicator light wonderingly, confirmed that the boy was still in the room, so he knocked the door harder and made the noise louder, but there was still no any response. Sheilor couldn’t help to have some worry, would anything happened to that guy, he was in a coma? He suddenly thought of that the sound insulation materials of the H1 area was extremely advanced, even the knocking sound also couldn’t get through inside?
He had a frown, went back to his own room directly, took out the backpack which he hid in the deepest place of the lockers, and then walked back to the door of the other room.
He emptied the things in the backpack to the ground disorderly, the metal tools and those components things made some strange sounds after hit the elastic ground. Sheilor didn’t have any pause, began to pick up the tools to have the disassembled work of the lock. Every time when he was practicing in the room, he would lock the door habitually, he knew that the lock of this door was that kind of restored ancient way structure, but not the common induction door in the federation. If the people inside didn’t open the door, then it’s very hard for the people outside to open it.
Fortunately, Sheilor had been with Levi them together from a child, although he never did any too evil thing, but he did a lot of things to those empty houses on the Bell Tower street, he had his own set of measures for opening the locks. And later he followed uncle Fengyu to learn for four full years, anything such about the metal structures, seemed to have no difficult to him, in this respect, he was born with some kind of keen space structure judgment and solve ability.
The sound of the spring and motor kept ringing up and down, the self-powered tools kept going the disassembled work ceaselessly, sent out the waves of the noise, these sounds echoed in the quiet H1 area, seemed extraordinarily harsh to the ear.
Sheilor had already had some cold sweat on his forehead, the tools kept changed in his hands, having the damage to those complex structures. He had the worry in his heart stronger and stronger, because the movement was this big, still couldn’t let that boy in the room to have any response. It seemed like that there was something happened to the other party.
With the “Hss” the sound, the lines of the chip was connected, the last metal three-pieces reeds of the door lock sprang open, the door of the room contracted into the alloy wall, showed a broad space which was similar to the room which Sheilor stayed in every night, there was also a platform on the distant wall, a black M series prototype mecha was hung on the platform. More that ten different colors data transmission belts and current transmission belts connected it with the outlets on the wall together.
Sheilor didn’t stop a moment on these he was very familiar scenes, he threw the tools on the ground conveniently, and then rushed to the direction of the mecha. Because he had already seen at the first time, a black hair was leaned against the operating cabin sideway, he could tell in that position that his body shouldn’t have any strength, he should have already fallen into a coma.
The looked like far distance, Sheilor got to there in the running very soon. Just as what he climbed over the electronic fence of the federation in those years, he climbed up agilely like an ape along the gaps of the metal components on the machinery leg of the mecha, didn’t go with the formal route.
Climbed into the operating cabin with the fastest speed, Sheilor got that with very thin figure young man to sit right, put his face near his mouth and nose, he put his fingers on his carotid artery gently, confirmed that the heartbeat and breath of this man were still normal, then he rested his heart slightly. He was thinking in gasp, probably this man just only fell into coma, that should be easy to handle, just didn’t know why this guy would pass out suddenly.
Gently slapped on that young man’s face with his hand, Sheilor shouted anxiously, “Wake up, wake up.”
The face of the young man was very pale, but showed some unhealthy flush after he was slapped gently couple times by Sheilor. Sheilor frowned his eyebrows, thought in his mind, it’s afraid that it would be too late to call the hospital, and it’s afraid that those doctors also didn’t have the permission to go into the zone H and the H1 area.
He took a look around left and right, his eyes fell on the safe belts of the operating cabin, didn’t even have a second thought, the right pulled on the middle of the belt, had a stuffy groan, along with his mind, he could feel the heat on the back of his waist immediately. That magical power transferred to his hand along with the slight tremble under his skin, he exerted himself to have a pull. With “Pa” the crisp sound, that in the high strength action, still could fasten the driver’s body super strong flexible fiber fixing strap, was broken into two parts in Sheilor’s abnormal hand.
Tightened the thin young man on his back with the fixing strap, Sheilor climbed down the high mecha very carefully but quickly. After he got to the ground, he rushed to the outside of the door once his feet touched the ground. He didn’t know what’s wrong with this guy, would pass out over here unexpectedly for no reason. He didn’t dare to be a bit careless at all, he must send the other party to the hospital in the shortest time.
Carrying the emaciated young man on his back, Sheilor ran across the door of the room, ran across the lounge. When the alloy doors from the H1 area to the zone H were just open a bit, the extremely worried and anxious him, suddenly heard the somewhat strange but somewhat familiar weak voice came from his back.
“Where you want to bring me to?”
“To the hospital.” Sheilor didn’t look back, just answered subconsciously, then he found out that the man on his back had already woke up, he stopped his steps surprised.
“Put me down.” The voice of that young man on his back was still very weak, but it’s still like the issued command not allow people to refuse.
Sheilor stared blankly for a moment, unfastened the fixing strap on his body, put that man down. Saw the face of the other party was still very pale with some wrong, he held him tightly into the lounge in a hurry, put him on the sofa. Up until now, Sheilor then had time to look at this face carefully, found out that this was a somewhat comely young boy student, his eyes were still closed at this time, the thin lips closed very tightly, seemed that his was somewhat in pain, and below his eye sockets had the unhealthy light green color.
This was the first time Sheilor met with Charlie Tai, Charlie Tai was closing his eyes tightly at that time, fell into the illness. So in Sheilor’s impression after this, Charlie Tai was a younger than him, looked very poor wick and weak young man. This impression had been kept for many years, no matter what kind of identities Charlie Tai became to, but Sheilor still thought so stubbornly all the time. “You’d better go to the hospital first…” Sheilor looked at the closing eyes him, suggested him with his concern.
Charlie Tai opened his eyes slowly, Sheilor’s words stopped abruptly. He never thought of that the eyes of a young man would be so calm and quiet, just like that he was an old man had already experienced countless years of vicissitudes, although they still kept the particularly clean and clear of the young man, but when Sheilor looked at his eyes, he still would think subconsciously that the eyes of the other party might never had a bit of trembling.
This is the eyes looking down the federation brought by the status insight and mentality, this is the trained calmness when grew up in the biggest and oldest family of the federation from a child, this is a pair of eyes which only the real big shots could have. But Sheilor didn’t know about these at all, he just felt that the eyes of the other party had the calmness and the gentleness but didn’t have any warm meaning, just showed a strand of reserved meaning of the absolute perfect and the pride in the kindness.
Sheilor had a scratch on the head, didn’t want to think about why this pair of eyes of this guy would be mild but also make people fear, he said, “What happened?”
Charlie Tai did
n’t think of that he would wake up from the coma, the first one he saw would be that boy unexpectedly, he silenced and didn’t answer his question. His body had been not that good, the blood sugar was too low, that problem had never been well, especially lately these years he would often be in insomnia, thus he felt more tired day after day, every night he must had some night snack which steward Ken prepared for him elaborately, then he could have some supplement energy.
He told steward Ken no need to prepare the night snack, that’s because he had already got used to that porter kid to bring the food for him every night, but he didn’t expect four days in a row, except the second day Sheilor brought him a bag of deep-fried dough pies, he actually didn’t have anything to eat. Charlie Tai thought with some headache, he seemed to have already become a fed well wild cat, got used to some things already.
Charlie Tai didn’t want to deal with this young man too much, even didn’t want to meet him at all, but right now they finally also meet each other, he thought in his mind even with some anger, if not for lost to this beginner in the mecha operation, let him to concentrate on practice and forgot about the time, he would unlikely pass out because of the too low blood sugar.
Just because of these thoughts, let his that could keep perfectly demeanor in front of his subordinates and retainers to appear a gap, he stared at the looking at him with concern young student in front, said word by word, “I didn’t pass out, just… fell into sleep.”
Sheilor obviously didn’t believe in this explanation, he laughed out, “I have broken op the door for that long, you still didn’t wake up, unless you are a pig.”
Charlie Tai had his face gloomy a bit, with his identity to be scolded as a pig, it’s really a thing hard to bear, he silenced for a moment, said, “I have the low blood sugar.” And then frowned his eyebrows and said, “You didn’t prepare the night snack for me several days in a row, that’s why.”
Sheilor didn’t have the responsibility and obligation to prepare the night snack for the other party, if for other people, certainly would retort, but Sheilor seemed to feel that this was really his fault, he was this kind of people originally, so he was somewhat ashamed to say sorry.
Although they actually had been communicated for a long time through the pen and paper, and also talked to each other in the speakers, had the fights in the virtual scenes, but actually this was the first time Sheilor and Charlie Tai met each other in person, they were two strangers with the incomparable disparity of status and position, so in the beginning, the atmosphere of the scene was somewhat embarrassing and strange. Until Charlie Tai mentioned the night snack these two words, then the atmosphere became familiarly and freely immediately, just like the building suddenly became a white paper, and these two young men became the two words on the white paper.
Sheilor stood up, at the door of the room, he found a bottle of water and a bag of compression high-energy biscuits in the pile of scattered things.
One biscuit and one mouth of water, the spirit of Charlie Tai seemed to get much better, his mood also relaxed a lot, he heaved a sigh and said, “It can’s be helped, I this person is always easy to feel hungry, if I don’t bring some snacks with me all the time, it’s no way to live.”
“Oh, right, known you for that long, I still don’t know your name.” He reached out the hands very sincerely, said, “My name is Sheilor.”
Charlie Tai of course knew his name was Sheilor, hesitated for a moment, he reached out his hand slowly, said, “Charlie Tai.”
