After three hours of terrified waiting, the Dolphin was finally allowed to enter the port. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the routine inspection, Luo Xiu and the others were let go, and they were not embarrassed too much. This confuses the group and asks about the spaceport.

After asking around, no one would tell them. This made Luo Xiu and his party even more uneasy. When they were discussing in the hallway, a cleaner pushing a trolley passed by and said to them, "The hatch of the spaceport is broken." ”

Alan immediately stepped forward and stopped the cleaner.

The cleaner had just said something more, and when he saw that the other party came over to ask in a matter-of-fact manner, he was a little frightened, but he still said honestly: "What's wrong?" It's often broken. That is, those people above want to save face and refuse to say it. ”

“……”

It's called something.

Seeing that they didn't speak, the cleaner tentatively asked, "What's that...... Anything else? I'll ...... if not," he said, gesturing to his trolley.

"Oh. You're busy. Thank you. Father said.

With the sound of wheeling, the cleaner pushed the trolley and left. Elle asked her father, "What do you think of his words?" ”

"I don't see any clues for the time being." My father said, "It doesn't matter if it's fake. Let's see the move. ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

"I just didn't expect the facilities on Nata Star to be in tatters like this." Lange sighed.

"Why won't they tell the truth?" Roy asked, puzzled, "It's not a shame that the door is broken. If I report it to my superiors, won't I be able to get it repaired? ”

"According to the regulations governing the spaceport, if the facilities are old to a certain extent, they must be replaced with new parts, and for safety reasons, the facilities must be closed until the replacement is completed. If they escalate, it is almost certain that they will be asked to shut down, but replace them with new parts? Wait until the Year of the Monkey. Alan explained.

Roy snorted. In this way, it is rotten now, at least it can still be used.

Father clapped his hands. "Forget it. Let's go. ”

The group then headed to the ferryboat. The ferryboat is as old, but it's good to be usable. Just from the moment of entering the atmosphere, the creaking of friction between the parts does not stop.

When he finally arrived, his hand pressed on the button that opened the hatch, and the driver and crew of the ferry boat laughed: "Three hundred star coins, for a bag of bread." 500 Star Coins, for two bottles of drinking water. 1,000 star coins, a 20% discount coupon for fresh air. 20,000 stars for a bed in the habitable area. Fractional coins for a one-way ticket to hell. ”

Father tossed a one-dollar coin. "Thank you for the reminder."

Lange from behind slammed a punch into the back of the driver's hand and pressed the door open button through his palm.

With his screaming, the hatch opened, and the gangway slowly stretched out.

Before he could get out, the wind poured into the ferry, and Roy coughed.

It's hard to describe the smell of the wind. The sulfur is mixed with the smell of feces and urine, and under this strong irritating smell, it seems to have two parts of spicy and one part of burnt smell, which needs air to enter the lungs from the nose and then return to the nose through the exhalation action to be noticed. Especially the last bit of aroma made Roy feel like he was drooling over the garbage heap, which was called an awkwardness.

Her father helped her pull the mask, plugged the air leak, and then took her hand and walked down the gangway step by step.

As soon as Ellie, who was at the end, left the ferry, the driver and crew couldn't wait to retract the gangway and let the driver leave the haunted place.

A group of five people stood in the empty wilderness, looking around a little dazedly.

Lange rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, and the more he rubbed them, the redder they became, and it wasn't long before the eyes were like red rabbits, and tears flowed down his eyes, and those who didn't know thought he had just been dumped.

Probably feeling a little embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly and said, "...... I haven't been back for many years, but I didn't expect the air in our hometown to be the same. ”

But he really didn't need to feel ashamed. Because except for Roy, several other people are similar to him.

The father wiped his nose and sneered bitterly: "The air manufacturing plant is not as good as it was twenty years ago. ”

Roy was fortunate because her father was worried about damaging her and ordered her to wear a full-face breathing mask. She tugged at the somewhat stuffy mask to align her eyes so she could look out.

The sky is full of yellow sand.

From time to time, the lead-gray sky was obscured by the sand and dust blown up by the strong winds. There was no shelter and desolation all around, except for a few low buildings, almost hidden by yellow sand, in the far, far away. Roy briefly estimated the distance, and in this weather, they would have to walk for three days and three nights before they could see people.

However, the father and others were clearly prescient about the situation. Ellie and Allen, the siblings, tinkered with each other for a while, and soon set up the off-road jeep that had been checked together, and several people quickly got into it and drove towards the house on the edge of the horizon.

I don't know if it's because the off-road jeep is driving fast, or if the house isn't as far away from them as Roy thought, but after twenty minutes, they reached the edge of the house complex.

It's a small village, but there are no fields or pastures. Everything is hidden under the yellow sand, and half of the windows can be exposed, even if it is lightly buried. The streets were almost empty and empty, looking like a dead village.

However, no one in Roy's group thought it was a real dead village. The reason is simple, behind the houses on the main street of the village, and basically the only street, there is a thick column of cooking smoke. Although it is often cut off and torn to pieces by the sudden wind, after the wind disappears as abruptly as it appeared, it will tenaciously stand up again, and perform a magnificent scene of desert solitary smoke.

Roy, who had already taken off his mask, carefully opened the window of the car, only opening a small gap to test whether his father's statement that the air would be good when there was a place where people lived, was true, but only to smell a strong aroma of barbecue. Just took a breath, and the fragrance drooled.

This is probably where the burnt smell in the air comes from.

"This is a specialty of the nata star, roasted giant rat meat." Lange laughs, "It's delicious." Wait a little and buy a little, miss, can you try it? ”

After saying that, he was kicked by Ellie, who was sitting on the side.

Lange reacted at this time, looked up and saw his father's expressionless face, and hurriedly laughed awkwardly: "I'm kidding." ”

"It's fine. I want to try it too. It's so fragrant, it's definitely delicious. Roy laughed.

In her previous life in an insane asylum, she didn't eat anything? Rat meat is delicious.

Hearing Roy's praise of the giant rat meat, Lange suddenly seemed to have met a confidant, but Roy's father was sitting there, and he couldn't agree with Roy directly, so he had to say yes twice in a row, and then opened the window, and breathed in the air that was much fresher and full of burnt fragrance than when he first got off the ship.

The hum of the motor running at high speed rushed through the window. Before Lange could react, the yellow sand rolled up by the wheels swooped down on his face. (To be continued.) )
