Sizzling—!!
Crackling—!!
"Kukuku~~BT, lend me a hand."
BT: "My auto-navigation system has been disconnected."
"Help me, help me~~~ I need to enter that firing assembly room. We have to cooperate~~~ cooperate."
"Alright, I promise."
The atmosphere today was grim, but at this moment, Sister Zhou couldn't help but tease: "BT, even like this, you're still rapping. You're something else."
'Should say, Sister Zhou is something else! What a rap, seriously!'
'There's a strange, glitchy feeling to it.'
'This is the first time I've seen BT carrying out a mission in this state. There's an indescribable sadness in my heart.'
'Sister Zhou can still talk, which means the situation is relatively optimistic.'
'Optimistic? Open your eyes and look again, is this called optimistic?'
.......
Finding humor in misery, there was a peculiar flavor to it, but the viewers could only stare at each other, confused.
Sister Zhou didn't offer further explanation, her gaze locked onto the data that suddenly appeared on the monitor:
[Neural Link Detected]
Vanguard Class Titan: BT-7274
Primary Protocol
1. Link Pilot: Jack Cooper
At the same time, Sarah's voice came over the radio: "Reinforce the message, BT! Cooper! Our ground forces can't get there in time!"
"You have to find a way to destroy the Fold Weapon from the inside! There's no other way!"
At this moment, BT replied: "Commander Briggs, I, I, I, I~~~~ have a way~~~ a way~~~:"
2. Uphold the Mission
As BT spoke, protocol content continued to scroll across the screen, "If, if, if, if~~~~ if my reactor core is exposed, it, it, it, it, it~~~~ may be able to destroy the stability of the Ark at the center of the Fold Weapon."
"What did you say?" Sarah seemed to think she was hallucinating.
"We can destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy~~~ destroy it. I'm sending you the transport ship's coordinates, coordinates~~~" BT's rapper-style response continued.

Unconfirmed Link
Reconnecting Operating System v18.723x
Success
A moment later, Sarah replied: "Coordinates received. We'll head over. How will you get there?"
"Trust me, I've, I've, I've~~~~ calculated it," BT replied, while the uploading prompt on the screen remained lit.
"Let's hope so. We're on our way. Good luck, Briggs. Over."
Indeed, whether it was Sister Zhou or Commander Sarah, as soon as BT said 'Trust me,' no matter how uneasy they felt, they would immediately calm down and choose to trust BT completely.
For some reason, Sister Zhou had a premonition that BT's operational programs were running at lightning speed, calculating something.
When she heard that BT intended to use its own reactor core as a detonation point for the Ark, Sister Zhou wasn't overly surprised.
Firstly, the somber background music had already foreshadowed a tragic ending.
Secondly, both the commander's continuous communications and the facility's broadcasts had indicated that the Ark was difficult to stop, and only BT and Cooper were the saviors.
Finally, it was BT's "Trust me" that calmed Sister Zhou's restless heart.
To be honest, compared to leaving herself to survive alone, sacrificing herself with BT to save the lives of an entire planet was not such a bad outcome for Sister Zhou.
On the contrary, being given the opportunity to be a great hero as a not-so-outstanding pilot, and not having to endure the pain of losing BT, was simply perfect, wasn't it?
Thinking about her state of mind after BT's demise previously, Sister Zhou felt a pang of sourness, almost crying out bile.
Now, we sacrifice together!
Inside the cockpit, Sister Zhou tidied her clothes and sat up straight.
At this moment, BT, through Sister Zhou's manual piloting, had entered the syringe. From her perspective, she could clearly see the spiral patterns on the inner wall of the cannon barrel.
Damn, it looked so much like... Sister Zhou's old face turned red. This scene reminded her of certain indescribable body parts.
Looking up at the cannon barrel at a 45° angle, it felt like sitting in a super-sized Northstar railgun, the kind that could launch 40-ton Titans.
So cool!
"Don't worry, BT, I'm not going anywhere. We're together."
Clearing her mind, Sister Zhou smiled faintly and said to BT in a comforting tone.
Her voice trembled almost imperceptibly. To be honest, this was the first time she had faced death so calmly.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared at all, but with BT by her side, she wasn't afraid.
"Understood, Cooper."
BT's response was devoid of any static, like a final burst of clarity.
Hummm—!!
As soon as BT finished speaking, a ring of orange lights lit up at the top of the cannon barrel.
Hummm—!!
Ding—!!
The lights spread downwards, ring by ring, hitting Sister Zhou's heart like a death countdown.
At this moment,
She sat upright in the cockpit, her heart exceptionally calm, with an expression of serene acceptance of death.
On the main screen, BT's primary program was still calculating:
Primary Protocol — Appearing One by One:
1. Link Pilot
2. Uphold the Mission
3. Protect, Pro, Prooxe792bt
Perhaps due to program damage, the content of Protocol Three was not fully displayed.
Sister Zhou knew Protocol Three by heart. Wasn't it [Protect the Pilot]?
Wait???
Sister Zhou's expression sharpened, and a vague doubt in her mind suddenly cleared like fog revealing a rainbow.
BT!?
Is BT preparing to uphold Protocol Three? Wait... wait~~
~·~~!!
Sister Zhou's consciousness became chaotic.
Clang—!!
The last ring of charging lights on the inner wall of the cannon barrel struck Sister Zhou's chest like a heavy hammer, her breath hitched.
3. Protect the Pilot
At the same time, BT's firm, steady, and unshakeable synthesized voice rang out—
[Protocol Three: Protect the Pilot]
"Don't leave..."
A strong push came from behind, and before Sister Zhou could finish speaking, she heard the 'click-clack' sound of the cabin door opening on its own.
Then, a strong and powerful mechanical arm extended into the cockpit from the dazzling white light.
"No, no!!!"
Sister Zhou grabbed the mechanical arm and desperately tried to pry it open, preventing its next move.
Feeling the familiar energy enveloping her body and the rehearsed throwing motion she had experienced more than once.
Sister Zhou understood BT's intention, "What are you doing, BT?!"
"Don't, don't leave me alone, please, BT!!!" 138 Reading Network
At this moment, Sister Zhou was like a left-behind child about to be separated from her parents who had worked away for a year and were returning home for the New Year, crying and pleading to stay!
However, the only response Sister Zhou received was BT's classic throwing motion, rehearsed countless times.
Crack—
BT finally turned its head to look at Sister Zhou. Its light green eyes narrowed slightly, and it clenched its fist: "Trust me."
In a daze, Sister Zhou seemed to see a hint of humanized relief in its optical sensor.
"BT!!!!!!"
Sister Zhou's heart shattered completely, her heartbroken cry echoing throughout the entire livestream.
At this moment, all the viewers in the livestream.
The sky had fallen!
