37 Back in The Bunker

Chapter 37 Back in The Bunker The balloon landed with a jolt in the field just behind the red mill building. The three children jumped out and made their way to the hay wagon Bunker entrance in the middle of the river. They ran down the stairs and straight into the room marked "Transport'. Peanut was immediately struck by the number of people that were in there. It was busy the first time they'd visited, but this was something else. Suddenly, a familiar bark rang through the air, shortly followed by a very excited Doodle, who ran to greet the children. "Peanut! Rockwell! Little-Bit! There

第三十七章 回到碉堡 热气球猛地一晃，落在了红色磨坊建筑后方的田野里 三个孩子跳出来，朝着河中央干草车改造的碉堡入口走去 他们跑下楼梯，径直冲进了标着“传送室”的房间 花生一进门就惊讶于房间里居然挤了这么多人 第一次来访时就已经很热闹了，可这次完全不一样 突然，一声熟悉的狗吠传来，兴奋的杜德尔紧跟着跑过来迎接孩子们 “花生！ 罗克韦尔！ 小不点！ 原来你们在

you are!" shouted a cross-looking Mrs Markmaker, running towards them from behind an exquisitely drawn Chinook helicopter. "What on earth happened? Where have you been? I've been worried sick!" "I'm so sorry," said Peanut. She'd never seen Mrs M looking angry before. "I-I know we were reckless and what we did was dangerous. And I know you told us to stay where we were. The last thing we wanted was for you to worry, but I think it was a risk worth tak "I need to find Malcolm and let him know that the three of you are safe," interrupted Mrs M. "He's been so worried." She put her hands on Peanut's shoulders and squeezed them hard, before turning and heading out of the room. "Where did all these extra Resistance people come from?" asked Rockwell, pushing a very licky Doodle away from his face. "There are so many of them." "I was thinking the same thing," replied Peanut, "It's like..." Mrs M came running back in with her husband. Following them was a tall, statuesque woman with razor- sharp cheekbones and short, white hair. "Children! said a breathless Mr M. "What were you thinking? You've had us on pins and needles! You should have done as you were told and stayed in the Map Room. "I know," said Peanut, And I'm really sorry, but—"

这儿！”一脸怒气的马克梅克夫人喊道，她从一架画得精致的支奴干直升机后面跑向他们 到底出什么事了？ 你们跑去哪儿了？ 我都担心得要命！” “真的非常抱歉，”花生说 她从来没见过马克梅克夫人发火 “我、我知道我们太鲁莽，做的事也很危险 我也记得你让我们待在原地别动 我们根本不想让你担心，但我觉得这个险值得——“我得去找马尔科姆，告诉他人你们三个平安无事，”马克梅克夫人打断了她 “他一直都非常担心。” 她双手按在花生的肩膀上用力捏了捏，然后转身走出了房间 “这些额外的抵抗军成员都是从哪儿来的呀？”罗克韦尔一边问，一边把不停舔他脸的杜德尔推开 “人也太多了。” “我也这么想，”花生回答，“就好像……”这时候马克梅克夫人和她丈夫一起跑回来了 跟在他们身后的是一位高挑匀称的女士，她有着轮廓锋利的颧骨，留着一头白色短发 “孩子们！”马克梅克先生气喘吁吁地说，“你们到底在想什么？ 可把我们担心坏了！ 你们本该乖乖听话，待在地图室里的 “我知道，”花生说，“我真的很抱歉，但是——”

"I think," said Mrs M, "that you need to tell us exactly where you've been. And we need to fill you in on one or two things that have happened here too." The six of them sat at the round table in the Map Room, and Peanut told the Markmakers and the lady with the cheekbones everything. She explained how they'd snuck through the North Draw portal which led to the Louvre, and how they'd witnessed Mr White rubbing out the door in the plinth of the Venus de Milo. As we thought," said Mr M, nodding. "He's definitely shutting down the routes into and out of the city." Peanut described following Mr White through the catacombs and explained how they'd found Conté's grave and realised that it too was a portal. The Markmakers shifted in their seats as she described arriving in the Mission Control room at the top of the Spire, and finding a trapdoor leading to a swimming pool full of rainbow-coloured water. She told them about the doors drawn on the wall, and how one of those doors led them to New York. Mr and Mrs M looked horrified when she described jumping from the top of the Empire State Building. how did you draw a jet-pack?" asked Mr M, "But

“我觉得，”马克梅克夫人说，“你得把你们去过的地方原原本本告诉我们 我们也得跟你说说这儿发生的一两件事。” 六个人在地图室的圆桌旁坐下，花生把所有事情都告诉了马克梅克夫妇和那位高颧骨女士 她讲了他们怎么偷偷溜过北入口传送门到卢浮宫，又怎么亲眼看见怀特先生擦掉维纳斯雕像基座上的门 “和我们想的一样，”马克梅克先生点着头说 “他肯定是在关闭进出这座城市的所有通道。” 花生描述了她跟着怀特先生穿过地下墓穴，找到孔泰的坟墓，才发现那也是一个传送门 当花生说到他们抵达尖塔顶的任务控制室，发现活门通向装满彩虹色水的泳池时，马克梅克夫妇在座位上不安地动了动 她告诉大家墙上画的那些门，其中一扇把他们带到了纽约 听完她讲从帝国大厦顶端跳下来的经历，马克梅克夫妇满脸惊恐 你是怎么画出喷气背包的？”马克梅克先生问，“可是

frowning. "Regular art equipment doesn't work like that in the real world. The only pencil with that power is..." His voice trailed off and his eyes narrowed behind his huge glasses. Peanut smiled. Slowly, she pulled Little Tail from her bandolier and held it out towards Mr M. The silver-haired man's frown instantly disappeared and was replaced by a wide smile. "Pencil Number One? Peanut! This is amazing! How on earth...? I mean, what did you...? This is just. "Well, I'll be said Mrs M. "We were hoping," said Peanut, looking at Rockwell and Little-Bit, "that when you realised we'd managed to get Little Tail back, you'd agree that the risk we took when we went through the North Draw portal was one that was worth taking. And that you'd forgive us. The Markmakers smiled. "The three of you really are quite remarkable children," said Mrs M. Full of surprises." "Speaking of surprises," said Rockwell, "Do you know why those horrible robots have all stopped working? It's because of me! I turned them all off when we were in the Mission

皱着眉头 普通画具在现实世界里可做不到这种事 唯一拥有这种能力的铅笔是……” 他的声音越来越小，大眼镜后面的眼睛眯了起来 花生笑了笑 她慢慢从子弹带里抽出小尾铅笔，朝马克梅克先生递了过去 这位银发男士的眉头立刻舒展开，换成了满脸笑容 一号铅笔？ 花生！ 这太不可思议了！ 你到底怎么……？ 我是说，你怎么……？ 这真的是…… “哎呀，真想不到，”马克梅克夫人说 “我们希望，”花生看着罗克韦尔和小不点说，“等你们知道我们把小尾找回来了，就会明白我们闯北入口传送门冒的险是值得的 也希望你们能原谅我们 马克梅克夫妇笑了 “你们三个真的是非常了不起的孩子，”马克梅克夫人说，“总能带来惊喜。” “说起惊喜，”罗克韦尔说，“你知道那些讨厌的机器人为什么全都停止运作了吗？ 那都是我的功劳！ 我们在任务

Control room at the top of the Spire! OK, so I didn't do it on purpose, but I did it nevertheless. Pretty good, huh?" Ah, that explains it!" said Mrs M. "We wondered how that had happened." "I think this might be an appropriate moment to introduce myself," said the lady with the cheekbones in a deep voice. "My name is Josephine Engelberger, and I am the person who designed and built the RAZERs."

控制室，就是尖塔顶那个，我把它们全都关掉啦！ 好吧，我不是故意的，但确实是我关的没错 挺厉害的吧？” “啊，原来如此！”马克梅克夫人说 “我们之前还纳闷这事是怎么发生的呢。” “我想现在正好适合自我介绍，”那位高颧骨女士用低沉的声音说道 “我叫约瑟芬·恩格尔伯格，RAZER机器人就是我设计制造的。”
