Chapter 13

Chapter 13 From Now On, Can We Keep Eek on the Beach and Feel the Breeze All the Time? Air began to blow from the vents again. This time it was a welcome breeze, equalizing the temperature. Harper and Theo closed the windows while Jodi and Po reset their computers and booted up Minecraft again. They stepped through Ash's portal, and Harper watched as they walked out onto a familiar snowy landscape.

第十三章从现在起，我们可以一直呆在海滩上感受微风吗？ 空气又开始从通风口吹出来。 这次是一股怡人的微风，使气温趋于平衡。 哈珀和西奥关上了窗户，乔迪和阿宝重新设置了电脑，重新启动了《我的世界》。 他们穿过阿什的传送门，哈珀看着他们走到一片熟悉的雪景上。

How lucky! Their new portal opened on the surface, just a short walk from Eek's village. But everyone groaned when they realized it was about to turn cold again. Jodi quickly made a ring of torches around him to equalize his temperature. "Don't move until we figure out how to disconnect you from the school's AC," Harper said. Eek listened. "Not a bad place to move to!" Po said, already searching for his favorite house. "Maybe I'll move in with the blacksmith." "We might want to build something to hold back zombies and creepers," Ash said, "but it's already a safer base than the other two. And just a short walk from a Nether fortress!" "Sorry to rush you guys," Morgan said, "but we do need to go back and get those blaze rods. At least ten, but as many as you can farm before time's up. Then Ender pearls tomorrow, and then—"

多么幸运!他们的新传送门在地表打开了，离伊克的村庄只有几步之遥。 但是当他们意识到天气又要变冷时，每个人都唉声叹气。 乔迪迅速在他周围围了一圈火把来平衡他的体温。 哈珀说：“在我们想出办法把你和学校的空调切断之前，别动。” 呀听着。“这是个不错的地方！”阿宝说，已经在寻找他最喜欢的房子了。 “也许我会搬去和铁匠一起住。” “我们可能想建造一些东西来阻止僵尸和爬行者，”阿什说，“但它已经比其他两个更安全了。 而且离地狱要塞只有几步路！”“很抱歉催你们，”摩根说，“但我们确实需要回去拿那些火焰棒。 至少十个，但时间到之前尽量多。 安德明天再来，然后——”

"The End," Harper finished. "And we save Eek." Ash, Po, and Jodi left Eek in his ring of torches to return to the blaze spawner room. They picked up all the torches and let the spawner start creating blazes again, one at a time. With the computers cooled down, they could farm the blazes from a safe and non-laggy distance. Theo and Harper stepped away to find Doc Culpepper. Theo pulled something out of his backpack. "I have a water bottle in here—it's just room

“末日。”哈珀说完。 “我们救了艾克。”阿什、阿宝和乔迪把艾克留在他的火把圈里，回到火焰生成室。 他们拿起所有的火炬，让产卵者再次开始创造火焰，一次一个。 随着电脑冷却下来，他们可以在安全、无滞后的距离上控制火势。 西奥和哈珀离开去找卡尔佩珀医生。 西奥从背包里拿出了什么东西。 “我这儿有一瓶水——足够了

temperature—and an extra granola bar. You forgot your snack, right?" Harper was surprised. "I did, but that's my fault. I don't want to take yours." "It's not mine!" Theo smiled. "I always bring an extra. You've just never needed it before." He held it out again, and she took it. "Thank you." Harper took a sip of the water and smiled. Theo didn't have to do that, but she was glad he had. It felt good to know that someone was looking out for her. She and Theo were different, but they were a lot alike in many ways, too. She made a mental note for the future to look for the ways she and other people were alike rather than how they were different. "You don't always have to be prepared for everything, you know. We're here to help you, too." Theo looked over at the rest of their group. "Remember when Morgan was worried we wouldn't need him anymore? And Ash rushed in by herself yesterday because she was feeling

温度和额外的格兰诺拉燕麦棒。 你忘记带零食了，对吧？”哈珀很吃惊。 “是的，但那是我的错。 我不想要你的。” “不是我的！”西奥笑了。 “我总是多带一个。你以前从来都不需要它。” 他又递给她，她接了过去。 “谢谢你。”哈珀喝了一口水，笑了。 西奥不需要这么做，但她很高兴他这么做了。 知道有人在照顾她，感觉很好。 她和西奥不同，但他们在很多方面也很相似。 她在心里做了一个笔记，为将来寻找她和其他人的相似之处，而不是他们的不同之处。 “你知道，你不必总是为所有事情做好准备。 我们也是来帮助你的。” 西奥看了看其他人。 “还记得摩根担心我们不再需要他吗？” 阿什昨天一个人冲进来因为她觉得

lonely. They're both amazing players and leaders, but they made mistakes because they forgot we're a team. And we'll always be a team." "I bet we'll always worry about stuff like that. But you're right," Harper agreed. "I think I've been looking too much for the perfect way to do things. But there isn't going to be a perfect way— just the best way we have." "Like fighting blazes with snowballs because it's what's in our inventory!" Theo said. Harper laughed. "Yeah. Actually, being prepared means being ready to change when you need to. And to pay attention more than you plan. At least, I think so. And Eek—" She stopped. A whole new thought had popped into her mind. "Wait a second! If Eek is connected to the AC, that means he can access the world outside his server. Right?"

孤独。他们都是出色的球员和领导者，但他们犯了错误，因为他们忘记了我们是一个团队。 我们永远是一个团队。” “我敢打赌，我们会一直担心这样的事情。 但你是对的，”哈珀同意道。 “我想我一直在寻找完美的做事方式。 但不会有完美的方式——只有我们拥有的最好的方式。” “就像用雪球灭火一样，因为这就是我们的库存！”西奥说。 哈珀笑了。“是的。实际上，做好准备意味着在需要改变的时候做好改变的准备。 并且比你计划的更专注。 至少我是这么认为的。还有……”她停了下来。 一个全新的想法突然出现在她的脑海里。 “等一下！”如果埃克连上了AC，就意味着他可以访问服务器之外的世界。 对吗?”
