Mars, red sand and dust fly all over the sky, and a sandstorm will break out from time to time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that because of the outermost planet, the storms on Mars are more powerful than Limon knew about.

Mark Watney was one of the first people on Earth to land on Mars. However, due to an occasional huge storm, he was separated from his crew. This is his misfortune and his luck.

Unfortunately, he won't be able to return to Earth for the time being. However, after living alone for more than 3 months, he made a connection with the Earth. Then, the news of the rescue came.

However, this contact was broken after one month. Mark didn't know what was going on on Earth, he got angry, cursed, went crazy...... Finally, he scrutinized any place he could think of - whatever happened on Earth, he had to try to survive first.

Unfortunately, he is a botanist, not an all-round astronaut with great skills in all aspects. So, he leaked, or didn't think at all, that the ventilation chamber would leak and then blow up the whole thing.

So, he had enough food left over to live for 868 days.

Luckily, since the Earth no longer contacted him, he escaped being destroyed. Although, you may end up starving to death on Mars. But the last human being, that is also the hope of this earth.

So, in fact, he didn't starve to death at this time, and he was still far from starving. When Lemon and the others arrived, they saw a lively Mark Watney.

Like the two passengers of the Avalon, another more advanced inhabitant of Earth, Mark was also confused when he saw a group of aliens with different heads.

Of course, unlike on the Avalon, this time Mark was invited directly to Limmond's spaceship. Several former senior cannon fodder of the Frieza Legion who received the order, without any words, directly put the mark in the spacesuit onto the spaceship.

The cafeteria, in Limmond's single room. Li Meng said to Mark, who was still standing there in a daze: "Hey, take off your spacesuit, the air here does not have any harmful components, it is very suitable for human breathing." ”

With that, Li Meng pushed the portion of food across the table forward, and then began to eat his own portion.

"Whew...... Suck...... ...... Phew," Mark took off his helmet and tried to take a few deep breaths, "you...... What the...... Where ......"

Ye Gong is a good dragon, but when he saw the real dragon, he was scared to death. Mark is a Martian astronaut who has also experienced life and death, but at this time he is shocked and speechless.

Li Meng picked up the coffee on the opposite side, handed it to him, and said, "Take a deep breath, then drink a cup of hot coffee, and talk about it if you have any problems." ”

"Wow, hot......! Huhu ...... "This hot, Mark is a lot more sober and relaxed. After blowing and taking a small sip, Mark spoke again, "Authentic latte." That one...... Are you an earthling?"

"Yes and no. Li Meng didn't raise his head, and continued to eat after speaking.

Not understanding Limmond's answer, Mark thought for a moment and asked a second question: "That...... Can you send me back to Earth?"

"Yes...... Nor can you. ”

Mark didn't understand it at all. Yes and no, it can be understood that Li Meng was an earthling before, but not now. But, can or can't, how to understand?

Unable to understand, Mark simply took off his spacesuit, sat down and ate.

Although he didn't starve to death these days, he really didn't eat anything good. There are only two potatoes per meal, and when it's better, add some tomato sauce. Later, losing contact with the earth, the plantations blew up again, and the potatoes all died. In order to live longer so that he could be rescued, he began to go on a diet.

So, this meal was simply the best Mark had ever eaten in his life.

"I love Chinese food. Mark stuffed an egg in his mouth, ate it in a few bites, picked up the fritters next to him, and ate them with a click. While eating, I also praised it.

Li Meng also eats these. It was Limmond's breakfast, but Mark gave him one in duplicate by chance.

After eating, Li Meng wiped his mouth, and then explained: "I am from the earth. However, I'm not the earthling you have here. I can send you back to Earth. But, as far as I know, there are three Earths that I can send you to. And your earth is no longer inhabitable. So, you can't be sent back to this earth. ”

"What?" Mark's head exploded, and there was only one voice in his heart, "What did I hear!"

"This Earth of yours has been attacked by unknown aliens. We received your distress signal 1 light-year away and rushed over. However, you know, although the propagation speed of photoelectric signals is the speed of light, the distance of 1 light year ......," Li Meng spread his hands.

Mark took a few deep breaths and forcibly calmed himself down. It wasn't the first time he'd done that. Now it seems that he is doing a good job. He calmed down and asked, "That is, 1 year ago, the earth was attacked, and then a distress signal was transmitted. Now, you've received it, and you've come here to find that the earth is no longer inhabitable?"

"Yes. And that's not all. The Earth has now almost become ...... Another Mars!" Lemon dropped another bombshell.

"That'...... What about human beings......"

"No ......"

As if he had lost his soul, Mark lowered his head and muttered, "Human...... Gone...... Then I'...... Does it make sense...... Mankind...... No ......."

"Mark Watney!" shouted Limon.

Mark looked up and asked, "What can I do?"

"You now have two options. Li Meng held up two fingers and shook them in front of Mark. After making sure he saw it, Li Meng continued: "First, follow me to the earth where I am. However, it is very different from this earth. You need to start with the language, and you may have to learn a lot. ”

After waiting for a while, Li Meng continued: "Second, I will send you to an earth that is similar to this earth, the twenties and thirties of the 20th world. There's a lot you know, and you're more likely to build a business empire with the history you know. However, on that earth, there are not only ordinary people, but also people with extraordinary abilities. ”

After speaking, Li Meng stood up, patted Mark's shoulder and said, "You think about it and give me the answer tomorrow." ”

Lemon was gone, and Mark was still sitting there a little overwhelmed. These ten minutes of experience almost subverted his perception in this life.

How to choose, how to choose? That's the question.
