Chapter 32: Leaving the Stars
As the spaceship soared into the sky, everyone who survived the catastrophe began to cheer.
Chen Fan and Reddick, who were lying on the floor, looked at each other and smiled, and then sat down in their seats with everyone's support.
"What are you going to do next?" Chen Fan, who was pale, looked around at everyone.
"Owen and I must go back to report the accident to the company." Caroline's voice came from the driver's seat.
"I am ready to continue my pilgrimage to New Mecca." Aman said with a sad look on his face.
"I'm going where I was going to be." Shasha.
"What about you? Reddick? How do we give you an identity? Glancing at Reddick, Jack asked.
"Let's just say that Reddick is dead on that planet." Reddick smiled.
"So, can I follow you? Also alone. Jack looked at Reddick cautiously.
"Let's talk about it." Reddick said perfunctorily and then changed the topic, "Chen Fan, what are you going to do next?" ”
"Well, Caroline, how long will it take to get to the next manned planet?" Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and asked Caroline.
"It's about 12 hours, and the midway ship jump device needs to cool down for 2 hours." After looking at the star map, Caroline returned to the road.
"The next crossing will be performed in 24 hours."
After hearing the system's prompt, "Then leave me on that planet then, I'm ready to continue my expedition." ”
Immediately, Chen Fan didn't care about the others, and looked at the universe from the spaceship glass by himself, this was the first time that Chen Fan observed the universe so closely, and he was a little fascinated for a while.
The others saw that Chen Fan seemed to be thinking about things, and immediately stopped bothering him.
Unconsciously, Chen Fan leaned on the bulkhead and fell asleep, feeling that someone was pushing him in a daze.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Reddick's bald face appear in front of him, "Chen Fan, we have arrived at our destination." ”
"Really? So fast! I sighed in my heart that the interstellar voyage was quite fast, and stood up and walked out of the cabin.
Looking at the spaceships coming and going in the sky and the pedestrians in a hurry on the ground, Chen Fan was very interested.
At this time, everyone stood by the spaceship and watched Chen Fan walk down.
"Chen Fan, thank you for saving so many times, and I will have the opportunity to invite you to drink in the future." Xia Sha stepped forward and hugged Chen Fan.
"You're welcome, we're all companions."
Then everyone stepped forward one by one to hug Chen Fan and express their gratitude for his life-saving grace.
"Okay, I'm leaving, let's see you again when we have a chance." Waving his hand at everyone, Chen Fan turned around and blended into the crowd freely.
After shopping for a few hours, Chen Fan, who was bored, asked, "System, how much energy does it absorb this time?" ”
"Host Energy Remaining: 1274 points."
Seeing that the energy had increased by 1,100 points, Chen Fan suddenly cracked his mouth, "Yes, it seems that there is no loss this time." ”
looked at the time that was about to be crossed, "System, arrange the next world identity." ”
"Executed, minus energy 1, remaining energy: 1273 points."
"24 hours have arrived, and the crossing begins."
As the system prompt sounded, a familiar feeling enveloped Chen Fan again.
After a period of dizziness, Chen Fan opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a bed, and looked around, it should be in a tent.
"Are you awake? We found you in the forest when you were unconscious on the ground. At this time, a white middle-aged man lifted the tent and saw Chen Fan wake up and explained.
Sit up from the bed and look at the man in front of you, "Hello, thank you very much for saving me, what do you call it?" Can you ask where I am now? ”
"You can call me Frank, this is Papua New Guinea, we found you in the bush, it's so inaccessible how did you end up there?" Frank examines the strange man who suddenly appeared.
"My name is Chen Fan, I'm an explorer, I just remember I fell from a tree and I didn't know anything." Chen Fan casually made up a reason.
"Explorers? It just so happens that our team is also an expedition team, but we are a cave exploration team. This time we discovered a cave that had never been explored before, and we called it the Mother of Caves. After listening to Chen Fan's retelling, Frank was immediately happy to meet his peers.
"Oh? Is it? I've always been interested in caving, can you take me to see it? Some time ago, I went to an underground base in the desert. Hearing the word Frank Expedition come out, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, as long as it was related to exploration, it must be right.
"That's fine, but is your body really okay?" For Frank, who is also an explorer, he is even a common problem of explorers, but he is worried about Chen Fan's health.
"It's okay, these are minor problems, I often encounter similar problems, and now I am in good health." Chen Fan was afraid that Frank would not believe it, so he hurriedly jumped up and patted his chest, saying that he was very healthy.
"Alright, come with me." After thinking for a while, Frank took Chen Fan out of the tent and walked towards a larger tent not far away.
When he came into the tent, Chen Fan found that there were already many people sitting inside.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Fan, I think you have all seen it, he is also an explorer, and he wants to go into the cave with us."
"My name is Judy." One of these women came over and shook Chen Fan's hand.
"Hello, Luke." A young man in his 20s.
"George." Middle-aged uncle.
There are a few other members of the team left.
"Hey, are you an explorer at such a young age? Can you tell me where you've been on an adventure? My name is Josh. "A young man in the team who is about the same age as Chen Fan.
"Hello, my parents were explorers, so I became an explorer since I was a child, and I have been to the desert, the Amazon, and so on." Chen Fan greeted the rest of the people and turned his head to answer Josh's question.
"Wow, that's cool, but I'm not a big fan of spelunking, and unfortunately I have a dad who is a spelunker." Josh said helplessly to Chen Fan.
"Less nonsense, how's the equipment ready? We're ready to go down. Frank interrupted Josh and scolded him.
Josh shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Chen Fan and said See, I have such a father.
Chen Fan smiled at Josh and turned around to help everyone prepare their equipment.
For the rest of the day, Chen Fan has been helping the whole team with logistics matters, because he has never been exposed to diving before, so he has to start learning this knowledge from scratch.
Time gradually passed a month, during which Chen Fan was able to follow the team to the forward base in the depths of the cave, and the team's exploration process was very smooth, and they had already come to the depths of the cave.
Through this period of getting along, Chen Fan found that the people in the team were very easy to get along with, and Judy was a workaholic like Frank, and she had to do everything herself.
As Frank's assistant, Luke is very self-motivated, cheerful and generous, and often chats with Chen Fan and farts.
George is Frank's oldest team member, and he tells Chen Fan about their past and present adventures.
And Frank's son, Josh, is a rebellious young man who often has trouble with his father Frank and is very dismissive of Frank's profession.
