Chapter 18: Chapter 18 : Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!
Merry let her father log into the Attic World, and then drove the Attic drive system in the computer linked to her mother's mind, she also logged into the Attic World herself.
The moment seeing her mother, her father burst into tears and cried like a child.
"Jack," her mother called her father's name tenderly.
Merry almost forgot her father's name. Her father was stunned, and hugged her mother tightly.
"Shirley, Shirley, I'll get you back soon. We can be together again as a family." Her father said excitedly.
"No, Jack, listen to me." Her mother said softly, "I can't come back, all the nervous systems in my body are in pieces, I know exactly what I'm in for, I can't come back." Her mother said, "Don't hurt Merry anymore, look at our daughter, she needs her friends, that's her family. In my absence for more than a decade, it was the little Treeman who was with her. You took him away from Merry, and even if you resurrected me, she wouldn't be happy. Jack, you can understand, look at our daughter..."
"But, I want to save you..." Her father choked.
"Jack, have you forgotten that we once discussed the topic of death, you said that death is just getting out of time and sooner or later we will be separated from each other, I understand that you don't want to leave me, and neither do I, but those who are alive have to go on living, you promised me that you will take good care of Merry." Her mother said.
Her father held her mother's hand and did not reply.
"Dad, let Mom go, how painful it is for her to live like this. You can back up a part of Mom's mind in the computer, when you miss her, you can enter the Attic World, and you can see her again." Merry suggested.
"The kid is right, Jack," her mother said.
Her father took a long breath and nodded his head. It seemed that this was a foolproof solution, and he father's obsession dissipated the moment he saw her mother, and he became the gentle father he once was again.
"Shirley, I really miss you, all these years, I think of you all the time." Her father said.
"Jack, me too." Her mother said as she gently touched her father's face.
The sun was setting, a brilliant red reflected in the lake next to the square, her mother and father sitting side by side by the lake, Merry put her head on her mother's lap, she had not slept so soundly for a long time.
"Merry, stay at home with Dao, I can still protect you in this way. I'm afraid that the people fighting over Dao will do anything to hurt you." Her father said.
"No, Dad, we are going to the Eastern World, I must find out the mystery of Dao's origin, and I want to send him home. Just like you, you want to protect me, and I want to protect him." Merry said.
"Okay." It was the first time that her father had shown Merry such a look of relief and appreciation since her mother left. For the first time, he faced up to his daughter, who had grown up and become a big girl who could take charge of her own life.
"In that case, maybe I can give you some help." Her father said.
"Dr. Wu's Newton is enough, but it can't store enough fuel, and with the Thousand-Island Sea still at war all around, I'm afraid we'll have trouble if we stop to refuel. Do you have any ideas?" Merry said.
"Perhaps, you can remove one of the fuel storage tanks from the Shirley and connect it to the Newton. The Shirley produces electricity by electromagnetic waves emitted by satellites in the universe, and it can also store fuel, which must be enough for you to cross the Thousand-Island Sea and fly directly to the Eastern Continent without stopping."
"The Shirley..."
"Yes, it's the giant airship you've seen, the Shirley has a built-in system that is arguably one of the most advanced in the world."
"Dr. Wu, will this work?" Merry asked.
"Yes, the Newton has a universal connector, simply linking it directly to the fuel tank will be okay." Dr. Wu said.
After the Newton was connected to the fuel tank and debugged, it was immediately ready to fly.
Merry said goodbye to her father and was ready to leave.
The alarm-bell suddenly rang out in the lab, and there was an alarm again.
"Chairman, the defense system has detected a large number of extremely aggressive airships approaching Sherry Technologies." A robot reported.
"Has the analysis been done? What's the quantity?" Merry's father asked.
"2500 ships. Exactly the same as the airship swarm that was wiped out outside the city earlier." The robot replied.
"Turn on the teleportation system and send them away. How dare they find us, they are seeking revenge, let them see what we can do."
"Dad, come with us. Let's get out of here first, it's too dangerous." Merry said.
"No, there is no one to hold them back, and they will surely catch up with you, I will find a way to stop them, you guys get going, quick." Her father replied.
Merry and her team boarded the Newton, with the new fuel tank, the Newton was able to run at full speed, it would take only 12 hours from the Western World to the Eastern World according to the calculations of Robo.
Merry was worried about her father all the way. When the Newton marched to the Thousand-Island Sea near the Eastern World, it was already close to night. Influenced by the Eastern World, and the area of Thousand-Island Sea where close to the Eastern World also had similar customs.
Suddenly, there were bright fireworks outside the window, and the everyone on the airship was excited.
Tomorrow, January 21, 2222, is the New Year's Eve in the lunar calendar of the Eastern World, and tonight is the New Year's Eve. The "taste of New Year" that has been passed down in the Eastern World for countless centuries has deeply affected everyone on the airship.
Merry did not receive any reply from her father, she was worried and unhappy.
"Merry, don't worry, uncle will be fine." Cici reassured her.
"Well..." Merry did not know what to answer, the infinite melancholy in her heart became more intense the moment she saw the fireworks outside the window.
The Newton flew to a main city at the furthest border of the Eastern Continent, Dragon City. It's known for the frontier, which got its name from the ancient civilization's verse, "were the Flying General of Dragon City still there in command, no hostile steeds would have dared to invade our land." This city has contributed much to the peace of the Eastern Continent during the war years.
Once out of the airship, the tall city walls ahead dazzled everyone.
People standing under the city walls looked incomparably small.
"This wall is 999 meters high and 100 meters thick, built of huge stones. It was constructed a century and a half ago, before the beginning of the Age of Great Famine." Robo said.
The team stood before the city walls, the sound of festive music came from the city, and the festive atmosphere permeated the thick city walls.
"I am safe, don't worry." Tears moistened Merry's eyes as a message from her father came from her communication system. It was the first time that everyone on the airship has seen such a beautiful scenery, and Jason was the first to play out in the wilderness outside the city. It had been a scary time for everyone, and although the future was unknown, they were lucky to be with these friends at the moment.
Jason and Coffee and Dao, bouncing around and falling together, made everyone laugh.
A huge firework, rising from above the tall walls, finally blossomed in the sky. Merry looked into the sky with blurry teary eyes, the huge gorgeous firework was incredibly beautiful.
