64 THE LEAP

CHAPTER 64 THE LEAP Roz and Brightbill and Glimmer were still in the hallway when they heard screeching and stomping, and then the seabirds came flapping around the corner. "Look, Roz is free!" "Great, now let's take off!" "Move! Move! Move!" Close behind the seabirds was BOSUN 10. He saw Roz standing outside her jail room, and his robotic voice boomed, "Stop! Prisoner! Stop!" Roz didn't stop. Instead, she and the birds scrambled away from BOSUN 10, down the hall and into the stairwell. Thick smoke was rising from below, so they hurried upstairs and exited onto the roof. The seabirds scattered into the sky, but the robot and the geese couldn't stop staring at the chaos on the station. Broken equipment was strewn across the platforms. Clouds of smoke floated between buildings. BOSUNs sprayed jets of water at a roaring blaze, but the flames were too ferocious, and the robots were quickly engulfed. That's when Roz noticed the ocean. It was calm. The

第六十四章跳跃罗兹、布莱特比尔和微光还在走廊里，这时他们听到了尖叫声和跺脚声，接着海鸟扑扇着翅膀从拐角处飞了过来。 “看，罗兹自由了！”“太好了，现在我们出发吧！”“行动!动!移动!”紧跟在海鸟后面的是BOSUN 10。 他看见罗兹站在她的囚室外面，他那机械的声音轰隆作响：“住手！囚犯!住手!”罗兹没有停下来。 相反，她和鸟儿们从BOSUN 10那里爬了出来，穿过大厅，进入楼梯间。 浓烟从下面冒了出来，所以他们赶紧上楼，逃到屋顶上。 海鸟四散飞向天空，但机器人和鹅却无法停止盯着空间站上混乱的景象。 损坏的设备散落在站台上。 烟雾在建筑物之间飘浮。 bosun向熊熊燃烧的火焰喷出水柱，但火焰太过凶猛，机器人很快就被吞没了。 就在那时，罗兹注意到了大海。 一切都很平静。的

sea creatures had stopped thrashing. The whales had stopped making waves. The glowing haze of zooplankton had drifted off. Victory had soothed their anger, and the army of animals was pulling back to let the Juggernaut sink into the sea. "The humans need my help," said Roz, looking up at the control room. "They might have caused the poison tide, but I will not leave them to die." Behind her, a robotic voice boomed, "Stop! Prisoner! Stop!" And there was BOSUN 10, stepping out of the smoky stairwell.

海洋生物停止了挣扎。 鲸鱼已经不再制造波浪了。 浮游动物发光的薄雾渐渐消失了。 胜利平息了他们的愤怒，动物大军正在撤退，让神像沉入大海。 “人类需要我的帮助，”罗兹抬头看着控制室说。 “他们可能造成了毒潮，但我不会让他们死。” 在她身后，一个机械的声音轰隆作响：“停下！囚犯!住手!”BOSUN 10正从烟雾弥漫的楼梯井里走出来。

Brightbill and Glimmer took wing as Roz sprinted to the edge of the roof. The robot leaped high into the air, up toward the control room balcony, but the distance was a little too far. It looked like she would fall to the fires below. However, as she passed under the balcony, her long arms reached up, and with her fingertips she grabbed one of the support beams. Dangling, she turned her head and watched while BOSUN 10 made the same leap. The industrial robot was bigger and stronger than Roz, but he was also heavier and slower. He launched up through the air, rising higher and higher, but not high enough. His bulky body crashed against the control tower and plunged down into the smoke and flames. With that, the last of the BOSUN robots was destroyed. Roz pulled herself onto the balcony. Brightbill and Glimmer landed nearby. Worried faces were staring at our friends through the control room windows. Akiko stepped outside, pointing a rifle. "Did you do this?" she yelled. "Did you order the attack?" "I tried to prevent the attack," said Roz. "But the animals were angry and out of control. If you had suffered as they have, you would understand." "Why are you here?" said Akiko. "What more do you want from us?" "I only want to get your crew to safety." Akiko grunted and lowered her weapon. "The airship

当罗兹冲向屋顶边缘时，布莱特比尔和格里姆默飞了起来。 机器人高高跃起，朝着控制室的阳台飞去，但距离有点太远了。 看起来她要掉到下面的火堆里去了。 然而，当她从阳台下走过时，她伸出长长的手臂，用指尖抓住了一根支撑梁。 她晃来晃去，转过头来，看着BOSUN 10也跳了起来。 这个工业机器人比罗兹更大、更强壮，但他也更重、更慢。 他腾空而起，越飞越高，但还不够高。 他那笨重的身体撞在控制塔上，一头扎进了浓烟和火焰中。 说完，最后一个BOSUN机器人被摧毁了。 罗兹爬上了阳台。 布莱特比尔和微光降落在附近。 焦虑的面孔透过控制室的窗户盯着我们的朋友。 明子走到外面，指着一支步枪。 “是你干的吗？” “是你下令袭击的吗？”罗兹说：“我试图阻止这次袭击。 “但动物们很生气，失去了控制。 如果你也经历过他们的痛苦，你就会明白了。” “你为什么在这里？”明子问。 “你还想从我们这里得到什么？”“我只想让你的船员安全。” 明子哼了一声，放下了武器。 “飞艇

is gone, and the life rafts are in flames. We're out of options." Roz made a few animal sounds to the geese, who nodded and flew away. Then the robot said to Akiko, "I can get everyone to safety. But I must carry each of you down to the main platform, one at a time. Who would like to go first?"

没了，救生筏也在燃烧。 我们别无选择。”罗兹对鹅们发出了几声动物的叫声，鹅们点点头，飞走了。 然后机器人对明子说：“我可以把每个人都带到安全的地方。 但我必须把你们每个人都抬到主平台上，一次抬一个。 谁想先走？”
