Chapter 599 - No way to judge

Lin Bingxuan directly displayed the results of the scan in the center of the cockpit in the form of a three-dimensional video, and as the scan progressed, a topographic map centered on the landing site of the rescue spacecraft was gradually displayed in the three-dimensional video.

"Take a break, this scan will take a lot of time, and it won't be fruitful for a while. Wang Yan walked over and said to Meng Jian and Lin Jing, and he could see that the two of them were very tired now.

"Okay. "Meng Jian is indeed very tired and sleepy, he has been holding on because of the mutant Roger, but now he can't hold it anymore.

"Be sure to wake me up as soon as you find something, we don't have much time. Before Meng Jian entered the rest cabin, he explained to Wang Yan again.

"Yes. Wang Yan nodded.

After Meng Jian and Lin Jing went to the small cabin to rest, the others had nothing to do, and after Lin Bingxuan looked at the scanning results for a while, he felt a little tired, so he also leaned on the driver's seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Only Wang Yan was still in a state of alertness, keeping an eye on the abnormal movements inside and outside the spacecraft at any time.

……

Five hours later.

"Observer 13 scanned something that looked like it was man-made. After Lin Bingxuan woke up, he observed the topographic map and said to Wang Yan.

"Can you get close and observe?" Wang Yan asked Lin Bingxuan after looking at the topographic map. In order to make the scanning efficiency higher, these scanning machines are all at an altitude of about 100 meters, so anything on the ground that is scanned will look relatively small.

"I'll try......" Lin Bingxuan transferred back the No. 13 observer. A few minutes later, it flew above the thing, then lowered its altitude and approached what appeared to be an artifact.

"It's our mothership's lander!" Lin Bingxuan quickly saw the thing clearly after turning the machine closer. It is indeed a man-made creation, and it is the lander on the mother ship, and the number is the one that Shu Ya, Roger and Meng Jian took before.

The lander was in radio silence, no signal was emitted, not even light, and the observer flew around the lander in a full circle and tried to send some signals out. The lander also did not react in any way.

Lin Bingxuan changed the detection mode of the probe to the image mode, and transmitted the images taken by the probe back to the spacecraft. The windows of the detector cabin in the image were all closed, and they stopped motionless on the ground, like a stone on the ground, if it weren't for Lin Bingxuan knowing that it was a lander on the mother ship. It's probably just a normal rock.

"Lander? This is a rescue ship. I'm Lin Bingxuan, please answer when you receive it......" Lin Bingxuan picked up the communicator and shouted to the lander.

"Stop the communication immediately!" Wang Yan rushed over and turned off the communicator.

"What's wrong?" Lin Bingxuan asked Wang Yan.

"What if Song Jianguo is inside, you expose our position by doing this, and it will put all of us in danger!" Wang Yan said to Lin Bingxuan.

"Song Jianguo is in the escape pod, since the lander has successfully escaped from the mother ship, it is likely that Shu Ya, Gu Chengan, and Li Luo are inside, if we can contact them, we may be able to repair the rescue spaceship......" Lin Bingxuan said to Wang Yan.

"This thing...... Let's ask Meng Dong for advice. When Wang Yan heard Lin Bingxuan say this, he remembered the two Eve and Su Muqin. I think it's more appropriate for Meng Yi to decide this matter.

"Then go wake them up. Lin Bingxuan nodded.

……

"How far away is the lander from us?" Meng Jian asked Lin Bingxuan as he ate, he had just rested for five hours. Now the spirit is much better than before.

"About three kilometers away. Lin Bingxuan estimated and replied to Meng Conversion.

"Let's try to get in touch with them, our detectors can just watch their movements, and if there is something abnormal, we have a long buffer and preparation. Meng Jian thought about it and talked to Lin Bingxuan.

"They've been silent, and it's hard to get in touch, so I'll give it a try. Lin Bingxuan picked up the communicator and shouted to the lander again, and indeed as she said, she did not receive any response, as if the lander did not turn on the communication device at all.

After trying several times, Lin Bingxuan had to give up.

"The asteroid is so big, the lander landed near us, and I think they knew we were here when they landed. Meng Jian speculated.

"If they're on the boat, they'll turn on the communication devices and try to get in touch with us. The current situation...... Either there are no living people on the lander, or ...... It was Song Jianguo's trap. Lin Bingxuan replied to Meng Jian a few words.

"I'll go over and take a look, is there that kind of maglev motorcycle on the rescue ship, or some other land vehicle?" Meng Jian asked Lin Bingxuan.

"No, we sneaked out, we came out in a hurry, trying to save you as much as possible, and a lot of necessary equipment and supplies were not prepared. Lin Bingxuan said to Meng Jian with some regret.

"It's only three kilometers, right? It doesn't matter if you don't have transportation, I'm already rested, and I'll just take a run." The terrain between us and them was relatively flat, and even with a spacesuit, we could be there in an hour at most. Meng Jian judged based on his previous experience on the asteroid.

"I'll go, you're the leader, and everyone else will depend on you. Wang Yan took the initiative to mention it to Meng Conversion.

"I just got some sleep, I'm in good spirits now, you've been on duty, I'm tired and need to rest. I'll go this time, and if there's any other errand, I'll assign you there. Meng Jian said to Wang Yan.

"I'll go with you and take care of each other. Lin Jing walked over and mentioned it to Meng Conversion.

"No, if I'm alone, I'll be more flexible in handling things. Meng Jian shook his head.

"What if that's a trap?" Lin Jing looked at the lander lying quietly on the ground in the topographic map, and had a very bad feeling in his heart.

"It could be a trap, it could be our chance, an opportunity that will allow us to live longer. Meng Jian had already decided in his heart to pass.

If you don't go over, you can only stay in this rescue spaceship and wait for death, and if you go, even if it's a trap, the difference is just a matter of early death and late death.

"You take this, I just adjusted the password program inside, and it should be able to open the hatch of the lander and perform some simple operations on the lander. Lin Bingxuan put something like a tablet into Meng Xuan's hands and taught him how to operate it.

After the preparations were completed, everyone sent Meng Jian to the isolation cabin, watched him put on a space suit, and left the spacecraft with an extra oxygen tank, and ran in the direction of the lander.

Lin Bingxuan dispatched an observation plane to levitate above Meng Conversion, monitoring the movement around Meng Conversion, and also playing a role in signal relay, so as to avoid affecting the communication between the rescue spacecraft and Meng Conversion due to the ground magnetic field.

After resting, Meng Jian was very energetic at this time, although the spacesuit on his body and the oxygen tank he was holding were very heavy, the gravitational force on the asteroid was only 0.6 times that of the earth, so he did not seem very heavy when he ran.

The area where the rescue spaceship is now located is a large plain, and occasionally there are some boulders standing in the plain, but it will not hinder Meng Conversion's progress too much, at least the road conditions are much better than the area where Lin Jing fell before, so that Meng Condus can even maintain his running speed all the time.

Of course, there is an observation machine released by Lin Bingxuan overhead, who helps Meng Jian monitor the surrounding terrain and various abnormal conditions at any time, so that he does not have so many worries when running.

In the end, it only took Meng Jian forty minutes to reach his destination and came to the vicinity of the lander.

The hatch of the lander was closed, lying silently on the surface of the asteroid, like a stone with a metallic sheen. Whether it was Eve and Miss Su inside, or a trap laid by Song Jianguo, Meng Jian had no way to judge before entering.

Meng Jian took out the tablet that Lin Bingxuan had given him earlier...... It looks more like a square piece of glass...... After operating on it and verifying the password, the hatch of the lander opened.

"Wait! After the outer hatch opens, you don't have to go in and risk it yourself, I can control the probe to send the probe through a special passage to probe the situation inside the lander for you. Lin Bingxuan said to Meng Conversion.

"Okay. Hearing Lin Bingxuan's words, Meng Jian hurriedly withdrew from the hatch, closed the hatch of the lander, and waited for the information from Lin Bingxuan's side.

Not long after, Lin Bingxuan sent the situation detected by the probe to the helmet of Meng Wei's spacesuit, and the lander has now entered the main compartment of the lander, because there is no lighting in the main cabin, and the detector has been changed to infrared mode.

Seeing the picture transmitted by the probe, everyone in the rescue spacecraft and Meng Jian outside the lander couldn't help but be shocked......

The seats and walls in the main cabin of the lander are all people, Gu Cheng'an, Li Luo, Shu Ya, two Eve and Su Muqin, they are all in the lander, some are sitting on the seats, some are sitting by the wall, but everyone has their eyes closed, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

What the hell happened to them? Why don't they contact the rescue ship?

"The oxygen content in the cabin is too low, and the carbon dioxide content is too high...... Lin Bingxuan said to Meng Jian after reading the readings of the detector.

Meng Jian hurriedly opened the outer hatch of the lander again, and after entering the isolation cabin, he opened the inner hatch of the lander, then took off his space suit, moved the oxygen tank he carried and rushed into the main compartment of the lander to start rescuing people.
