"Thank you so much!" In the car, the astronauts who had taken off their helmets and heavy spacesuits hugged Chen Xin and poured hot water for them, thanking him.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, and someone else will save you." Chen Xin didn't care too much about the other party's thanks, but just smiled.

He had an impression of these three astronauts, when Yanguo sent people to space to change the orbit of the meteorite, he also made a long report on these three astronauts, and when Chen Xin watched the live broadcast, he also saw an exclusive interview with them before they set off.

Looking at the spacesuits they took off and piled on the table, Chen Xin saw that the three of them seemed to have recovered a lot, so he asked them, "How are you feeling now?" I have limited conditions here, and I can't check you out, so if there is anything uncomfortable, please let me know in time. ”

"We're all fine, except that we may be a little deficient in calcium if we've been in space for too long." One of the three astronauts opened his mouth to answer Chen Xin's question, Chen Xin remembered that his name should be Zhang Heguang, but after half a year, Chen Xin couldn't remember it clearly.

It's just half a year, and what happened at the beginning seems to have passed a long time, Chen Xin thought so in his heart, but said to the three astronauts: "Since you all have no problems, then you have a good rest in my car first, and I will pass by the three towns of Hubei Province later, and then I will send you to the official shelter, where you should be helped." ”

"Thank you so much! But the refuge, has the state started the refuge program? Another astronaut next to him asked, Chen Xin had the impression that his surname seemed to be Zhao, but his name had been completely forgotten.

Facing the question of the astronaut surnamed Zhao, Chen Xin nodded affirmatively: "The shelter plan started very early, when you went to the sky to save the world, most of the people had already evacuated to the shelter in advance, and the disaster caused by the meteorite impact did not cause mass casualties, at least most of the people in my city survived." ”

"That's great!" The faces of the astronauts showed a hint of happiness and guilt.

Chen Xin looked at them and didn't know what to say.

He could understand the guilt in the hearts of these astronauts, after all, in their opinion, it was the failure of their mission that caused the meteorite to hit the blue star, if they had succeeded in the first place? Blue Star would not have had such an apocalyptic catastrophe.

But these astronauts can't be blamed for this kind of thing? At that time, Chen Xin also watched the live broadcast, and he clearly remembered how these astronauts risked their lives to install thrusters on the meteorite? Their actions can be said to have done the best they could.

No one has the right and no one has the right to rebuke them? Let them take responsibility for this disaster in the Blue Star.

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Xingang was going to say something to comfort them? The radar in the cab suddenly sounded an alarm.

The three astronauts, who were still immersed in their emotions, suddenly became nervous, and they all raised their heads to look at Chen Xin? Not sure what happened.

"Is it the radar that is alarming? I'll go see what's going on. With that, Chen Xin ran towards the cab.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Chen Xin manually launched the drone while looking at the radar display? On the display? Four bright spots appeared within the scanning range of the radar one after another, and were approaching the location of Chen Xin and the return capsule.

"What happened? Is there anything we can do to help? Three astronauts also came to the cockpit, as if to help.

"Someone else came, probably because they saw you coming down from the sky." Chen Xin explained to the three of them? At the same time, the drone flew in the direction of the four bright spots, and the infrared camera of the drone also transmitted the captured images back to the screen of the console in real time.

All three astronauts are professionally trained and highly qualified personnel? Naturally, I can't understand the pictures taken by the radar screen and the infrared camera, and naturally I can see that the four bright spots on the radar screen are four cars.

Looking at the drone footage? Chen Xin frowned, turned to the three astronauts and said, "They should be coming for you and the return capsule?" But I'm not sure if they mean well? After all, in this environment? No one knows what's going to happen, so you'd better stay in my car and come with me to Three Towns. ”

As for the situation in front of them, the three astronauts quickly made a judgment.

Although they had just returned to the ground, the three of them had also made guesses about what the situation was before deciding to return, although the exchange with Chen Xin just now was very short, but from the implementation of the shelter plan, they were also able to guess what the situation of the Yan Country was now.

Chen Xin was able to rescue them at the first time, which made the three astronauts have initial trust in Chen Xin, and Chen Xin's car also gave them a great sense of security, in this case they were willing to trust Chen Xin's judgment.

The three astronauts were on guard against the four approaching cars, and no one could guarantee that the four cars were here to help, or that they were just here to "help" before the disaster.

It is necessary to maintain a certain level of vigilance.

However, as the captain of the three astronauts, Zhang Chengguang, who was remembered by Chen Xin as Zhang Heguang, still said to Chen Xin after communicating with his two companions in a low voice: "Can I get in touch with them?" ”

"Touch? I don't really recommend that you do that, in case they have any ideas, I'll be alone, just the three of you, and I don't have any weapons, and if they want to get rich or something, things will get very troublesome. Chen Xin frowned a little, and did not quite agree with Zhang Chengguang's idea.

Although the four cars were only a matter of a few bursts for the heavy machine gun he mounted on the roof of the car, Chen Xin still didn't want to casually expose this kind of big killing weapon without revealing his weapon.

"You can't take the return capsule with this car, can you? If these people can help transport the capsule, we still want to be able to recover it, there is some important data on it, and we can't give up the capsule if we can. The last astronaut, who hadn't spoken much, explained.

Hearing this, Chen Xin didn't care, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "There should be a data memory, right?" Can you remove that? These people may not be good people, and I'm not sure what they'll do. ”

"This ......" Chen Xin's words made the two astronauts look at Zhang Chengguang.

"If I have tools, I can remove them, but it will take a little time." Zhang Chengguang nodded, indicating that he could disassemble the data storage.

In Zhang Chengguang's view, if the people in the four cars are malicious people as Chen Xin said, then it is the best choice not to contact rashly, but they can't give up the return capsule, so it has become the best choice to take the data brought back from it.

Hearing Zhang Chengguang say this, Chen Xin didn't say a word, took him to the living cabin, found the toolbox placed on the car and handed it to him, and asked him, "It's cold outside, do you need help?" ”

"It's small in the return pod, and I'm more neat on my own, but I need a little time, help me get ten minutes." Zhang Chengguang was about to get out of the car with the toolbox, but Chen Xin threw his protective suit to him.

Facing Zhang Chengguang's gaze, Chen Xin said indifferently: "Put it on, it's only minus 40 degrees outside, and you can't bear it for ten minutes." ”

After speaking, he returned to the cab, looked at the bright spots displayed on the radar, and shouted to Zhang Chengguang: "They are still eight kilometers away from us, you move quickly, we can leave before they come." ”

Zhang Chengguang responded, put on Chen Xin's protective suit, carried the toolbox, got out of the car, and ran towards the return capsule.

Chen Xin could naturally see the situation outside the car from inside the car, while watching Zhang Chengguang's movements with the other two astronauts, his eyes glanced at the machine gun control switch on the console, but he held back his urge to use the machine gun.

"Can you get the drone to get a little closer?" The astronaut surnamed Zhao came to Chen Xin's side, looked at the picture captured by the drone with the infrared camera on his console, and felt a little blurry, so he asked Chen Xin.

Chen Xin nodded, stretched out his hand and swiped on the touch screen of the console, and the camera quickly zoomed in a lot.

Under the infrared camera, the situation on the four cars was all filmed, allowing Chen Xin and the two astronauts to see the situation on the car clearly.

It was just four ordinary civilian vehicles, each with three or four people on board, but the most important thing was that they were all armed with weapons such as sticks and shovels, and three of the people in one of the cars also had flashing guns in their hands.

"These people don't seem to be good!" The two astronauts couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this.

They didn't expect that things were really as Chen Xin said, and the people in the four cars who came all looked ill-willed.

Looking at the four cars that were gradually approaching, Chen Xin picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on the console, cut to the horn outside the car, and said: "All the four cars that came were armed, and some of them were armed with firearms, and they moved quickly, you don't have much time, they are only seven kilometers away from us." ”

Zhang Chengguang, who was dismantling the data storage in the return cabin outside the car, heard Chen Xinde's voice, first paused, and after hearing clearly what Chen Xin said, he disassembled it significantly, and took out a box from under the seat of the return cabin, opened it and took out a self-defense pistol and a signal gun from inside, and put them aside in case of emergency.
