鐵格子外，可以聽見反抗軍戰士的腳步聲。威爾斯被關在旅店改裝的牢房中。剛才下車走到這裡時，他就用四周景色判斷，自己身處鐵道旁的小村落。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdkkPCUfCR

叩……109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQjt7fMsi

聲音消失、四下無人，叛逃士兵啟動智慧手錶。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyxKHJYLb6

109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbQjYu50K9
突然，牢房大門被撞開。兩名戰士把逃亡科學家丟到帝國士兵隔壁，離開之前嚷了幾句粗語。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGFSaoPBDC
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlwKlWoqvN
「翻譯概要：反抗軍想把我們直接處決，但是其中有人反對。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AnmIJwoUv

「喂，那個電子腦會翻譯？」林克‧李靠上牆邊，請求牢友幫忙，「跟他們說，就是我幫他們解除基地防禦系統的！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstOUGgolv7
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v6YLnLN5J
威爾斯從鐵窗空隙瞪著博士。原來，就是他害戰艦失聯，就是他讓惡事連連。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7cuHYRVT2
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcOgGslYlB
「你有在聽嗎……嗚啊！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRgTJgeoif
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeG6Jy37aT
狡猾科學家話還沒說完，威爾斯就伸手拉住他的衣領，「要不是你搗亂，我就不用這麼辛苦！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclf6D7kIyi
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9va6sNgyH
「冷靜，深呼吸，」電子腦安撫駕駛。遷怒他人對計畫沒有幫助，「博士還有利用價值。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4aak9M7Lo
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSbX5pezqf
「對，聽她的啦！你們需要科學顧問吧？回收納沃頭部，擴充運算空間也是我的點子……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPYDhrTFRy
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyQ5p04Sv4
「博士，你的對話模式會導致死亡率上升，建議調整。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllhjS3oLcI
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjnMqNKkE8
「嘖……」複製人鬆手同時，兩名戰士又走了進來。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVtjpuUWKn
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBM8vRyAJH
湊上前的科學家被槍口逼退，威爾斯被押了出去。
巨大貨運列車附近，反抗軍正忙著整理貨物。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamsiJlZYUA

「再來，再來……停！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8KOnNfxzf
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxjkdxQo3u
鏗啷一聲，黃色的納蘭機甲被固定在運輸平台上，駕駛艙內的女子對工人揮手道謝。褐色皮膚、黑紫短髮，嬌小身材充滿活力。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFO0Wpkjyw
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQGaP4Usx
「琪拉露拉！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQkpLLQMAx

「來了！」女子從坐機一躍而下，輕盈著地，「辛苦啦，卡司凱。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh6T0dye1s
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72azCBXGin
「我那邊都好了，準備讓大夥吃飯。」青年男子拍了拍衣角，他也擁有耐曬又耐寒的深色肌膚，「妳確定，要讓那個帝國人一起吃……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9Ysjya8Q
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkWN1HTRF0
「對啊，我有我的打算。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbu18egbWP
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexXT60RCVd
「再想想吧，琪拉，他們不僅臉長得一樣，內心也一樣邪惡……那傢伙要找洛迪娜，絕對不懷好意。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojCPrMc0g
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MxC5s6VFx
「我覺得他不一樣，真的。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo31YLkIUmb
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPij0mfyz
「又是感覺……」青年騷了搔頭，「別忘記那天的事，琪拉。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fGhmZymgz

「怎麼可能忘記，我父親也死了。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ldwvMHngH

短暫沉默，夾雜著哀傷。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcqLDMZNjA
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7cWf0A1vc
「抱歉……唉，妳跟洛迪娜都這樣，每次說到『感覺』，我就沒辦法反駁。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4FuwQVens
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEdqEG1Wog
「嘿，女人的感覺很準啊。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MJth82AlT
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9xzmP8Kh
兩人走進反抗軍營區，看到來自偏僻之地的戰士我行我素，毫無紀律可言。卡司凱不禁嘆息，「這樣怎麼打贏帝國？琪拉隊長，希望妳能多聽聽我這個指揮官的意見呢。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKvcaFpCE2
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wwGC3BPbP
「嗯……這種階級制度，我還是很不習慣。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzu0pBkcOM

「這是封印在資料庫裡的『戰爭知識』，能夠讓我們強大。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8XHdb3o9Y
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI9VXUP29e
「可是，一直這樣學習敵人，我們會不會……失去什麼？也許，就像洛迪姊說的，帝國也有和平的聲音，我想找找看。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgB7v1XOrR
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsjxSrKNQD
琪拉低頭沉思，那個聲音也許就在這裡。
威爾斯忍耐粗糙手銬摩擦，步步走過街道。雪地反光刺痛雙眼，連日疲勞讓他恍神，意識過來時，一座大帳篷矗立在面前。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJwIUzs2Cv
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlPBfRiM1R
掀起布簾，幾名原住民戰士坐在裡面，圍著一名嬌小女子。她的腳邊有個鐵盤，樸狀四肢的動物屍體靜靜躺在上面。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Y5cD6DYQ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcLmFsW8I5
狀況難解，複製人士兵皺起眉頭。女子揮了揮手，用當地語言招呼。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ynHGI30k
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxiEE3yTSo
「她要你坐下吃飯。」電子腦透過耳朵軟骨內的通訊器翻譯。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa8OUO2u7E
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT6FOUyxdz
威爾斯戰戰兢兢、席地而坐。很多問題想問，但是，任何可疑行動都會引起殺機。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiPt3PCzro
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq7vjXY1Wx
「你懂努那語？知道我的意思嗎？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxWI4yTKUd
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMxyY0gvL
所幸，就算是遙遠星系，某些姿勢還是可以通用。威爾斯聽從翻譯，試著點頭回應。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsh23hkoJZ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimg2OfAcTi
「真奇怪，感覺你好像在跟別人說話……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNaAPvaJ0j
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTitGkCaZN
翻完這句，電子腦也停頓了。威爾斯察覺後方氣息快速逼近，說時遲那時快，一陣刀光閃過眼前。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaonLhiCsb
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXACqb7e7gp
啪！剁肉刀掠過帝國士兵側臉，不偏不倚地斬斷盤中生物脖子。原住民戰士看向全身緊繃的異鄉人，露出詭異笑容。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRewIlTvBT
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZdS9NVX4P
「先不多說，」女子落落大方地張開雙手，「來吃吧！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCFHgqWRL
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7aqoGbueh
盤中生物被大卸八塊，內臟汁液把配菜染紅，血淋淋的畫面讓人難以直視。威爾斯環顧四週，看到女子旁邊的青年瞪著自己，透露出毫無保留的殺氣。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLaVi7qvG
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hdIsCJdpT
也許這是另類的拷問。多麼野蠻的環境，多麼野蠻的人，逃到這裡，真的是好主意嗎？109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYEjzasFUg
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIbOx47FL
一塊帶骨生肉被扔在困惑的士兵面前，女子指著那個物體說道：「細角斑紋海狗，補充能量。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhossge7fo
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw8ty57MaM
軍中的糨糊罐頭竟然會令人懷念。威爾斯不太甘願地伸手，戰士們又開始躁動。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u6W6Wtf0E
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSelM8VshL
凶狠青年拿起一罐瓶子，把其中的黏稠液體分裝數碗。濃濃腥味飄進鼻孔，女子接過血湯，開始自我介紹。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2r2AlShpB
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3HKBnxKLh
「我的名子是『烈南德‧琪拉露拉』，他是『索達特‧卡司凱』。 」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3X007eSAN
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL6oyTw7IK
「看來她就是『白鯨』……」電子腦對逃兵耳語，「換你了。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BmHesQJ4l
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUxex8kkTg
「威爾斯‧弗利德曼……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6SaPtSwGk
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gppdbmc0p
「Rebell-s！」卡司凱舉起木碗，戰士們跟著大喊，「Faai⸺Nuna！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLp536DSAH
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ456p3fBQE7
「敬努那。」威爾斯看向手中的溫熱容器，好不容易才說服身體行動，猛然吞下鮮血。鐵鏽味瞬間充滿口腔，喉頭異物感不斷刺激嘔吐中樞。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FJMRuqES9
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VcGoXzWP3
「好氣魄！」琪拉露拉大笑，被染紅的牙齒看起來格外驚悚，「吃啦吃啦！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FxVyJZQe
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmetTJnr13J
做了個深呼吸，威爾斯把意識移開食道，扒下一塊生肉送進嘴巴。鐵質麻痺舌頭，纖維像是結冰砂土，他寧願去嚼蠟。士兵擦掉眼淚，一口接一口咬下。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj08ZXpR9q
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RyljhdS0P
真的要加入她們？也許什麼都不會改變，只會流更多無意義的血。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2OjRu7I5x
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDMcuBWwf
看著腥紅的手掌，威爾斯漸漸習慣了那個味道。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmSPWRs6iS
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdpYSyC3Df
旁邊的老戰士啃食生肉，舉止自然。為了在蠻荒大地生存，人類必須為了自己生存而殺戮。殺動物、殺敵人、殺弟兄……要反抗可恨的帝國，就必須習慣。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGhIony9H0
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgKw9GzDMo
「我殺了你們同胞……還有我的同胞。」不曉得哪來的勇氣，威爾斯用帝國語說道。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhclPwGi63X
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfz8j78dEc
「白鯨」盯著帝國人，拿起一塊肉吞了下去。奇妙的是，她似乎能直接聽懂。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLWBX7b6Nk
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjTPOD0eFa
「吃下牠，我們又揹負了一條生命，不要忘記……讓那些生命引導你，走向正確的未來。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxTDFMOSMV

「未來……」複製人低下頭，看著血紅的地毯，「我的未來，在這裡。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gu53BmcnD
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5yReoEUe
過去無法抹滅，他決定背負罪惡繼續前進。奇妙餐宴是琪拉設下的考驗，覺悟的眼神讓帝國士兵暫時合格。
結束了累人的一餐，威爾斯擦乾雙手，試著整頓心情。琪拉露拉率先開口，立下誓約。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZKWK7bjpx
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmyBMLNb6p
「我們會帶你到首都，在那邊跟洛迪娜見面……為了讓大家信服，希望你可以坦承一切。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXBt3JywN
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dawcKFYM
「BB，要公開你的身份嗎？ 」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR02RtbcDVj

「同意，這樣比較方便。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX7iieDlY6

戰士們被突然出現的女性聲音嚇了一跳。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcMOA5Y3o
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H2CENlya7
「各位好，我是帝國兵器內建電子腦，為了方便，我幫自己找了一個名子⸺德爾芬。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYb6yuJONE
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q5cts5tJH
高性能AI同時在威爾斯耳中還有手錶擴音器上發言，「原本想取達爾文，但是，我的表徵是女性，所以……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Q3WkYSa3
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbefJ62S9k
「達爾文又是誰？」威爾斯生出另一個問號，但遠遠不及反抗軍的困惑。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjldQp3sian
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKs1mjF5UM
「有這種自動裝置，難怪打不開艙門……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hXdPGA5EI
「講話跟真人一樣……」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllaLvrHqRa
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyi3zEU97k
驚嘆四起，唯獨卡司凱擔憂兩軍的科技差距。女戰士很快就接受新知，笑著歡迎，「妳好，德爾芬！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9QBPKEyzj
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxuW7nLR4n
「烈南德小姐，我想提出建議：首都附近有許多移民船殘骸，裡面的資料還有硬體設備會派上用場⸺我的情報能力、威爾斯的戰鬥經驗，還有博士的科學技術，對於反抗軍來說是絕大助力。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJmrLMfHWl
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhrvGcb0Nn
琪拉露拉點了點頭，看向默默不語的青年，「卡司凱，讓我負責帶他們，好嗎？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHOrubIED
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUzdstiwL
「我想多觀察幾天，先一起行動。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn153uleyin
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTObnWK9L3k
「謝謝你……謝謝你們，德爾芬、威爾斯……很特別的名字呢？琪拉露拉代表白鯨，卡司凱代表酋長……人如其名，他就是努那聯邦的新酋長⸺」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd7uANQbrf

「托帝國的福，我提早接任父親職務。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv5lRb1RiP

青年語中帶有贈恨，琪拉趕緊轉移話題，「啊……對了，威爾斯‧弗利德曼，有什麼含意嗎？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNkZnjkxO
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4yxBF7bH0
複製士兵回想自己的根源。得到自由、家人、名字，又失去一切。遭遇太多轉變，內心早已封閉，不過，也許是剛剛的生肉開始消化，他隱約能感到一股暖意萌生。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP011oRw5J2
