Chapter Twenty-Five: The Last Passenger
Listening to the gentle light music, coupled with the rotating starry sky, Shu Kang and Eva told the starry sky and the legends of ancient China and Greece without a word, and unconsciously, I don't know how long it took, the intermittent talking stopped, only the light music and the rotating starry sky remained, and they still cooperated together, and successfully hypnotized the three girls.
Xiao Tao had already fallen asleep, clinging to the warm arm of the book; Eva also snored; And Shukang's thoughts seem to float on the level of the sea, surging up and down with the waves: a wave rises, pokes out of the water, and returns to reality, and people are still looking at the "starry sky" on the ceiling; When a wave falls, even the top of the head is flooded, and people fall into a warm, quiet, glued, and moist "dream world", and at first they can realize that they are in the process of falling asleep; Again and again...... Later, I was never able to surface the water of the "Sea of Dreams" and immersed myself comfortably......
"The last flight is about to take off, please take your seats as soon as possible if you haven't boarded the ship!"
Shukang heard such a series of broadcasts, and she knew that she was one of the "passengers who did not board the ship". Just from a group of passengers out of the station retrograde, and struggle to push away this group of people, only to rush out of a "channel" for herself, she quickly passed through the automatic security gate, face recognition technology let her pass unimpeded, rushed out of the waiting hall, she ran wildly, ran to the farthest place of the ship——— is the "space shuttle", the kind that only accommodates 6 passengers, she is the rightmost position.
While running, I looked at the sky, it was a pure black canopy, there seemed to be no atmosphere, all the stars were very clear and bright, each one looked much bigger than usual, but almost none of the stars were known by themselves, and they could not be named at all.
This tower is also magical enough, it is not a traditional upright type, but like a roller coaster, there is a long crooked twist and eight, high and low serpentine zigzag spiral type, after a complex track line like a three-dimensional maze, the final end from the "tower" point, is a branch to the sky high into the end of the clouds——— is a single track, from the bottom, like a thin needle, inserted into the vast night.
Along the boarding ladder, she received a set of silver spacesuits with glass helmets issued to her by the extravehicular celestial service lady, with their help, put on from head to toe, with the last tightening of the straps at the wrist of the glove, the glass mask was put down and stuck, the whole person, has been completely isolated and thorough, this is stupidly stuffed into the C2 position of the fatter herself, and then fasten the seat belt on the waist seat, as the door closes, the passenger compartment begins to change its attitude, originally three rows of 6 people sitting on a plane, Now the whole thing has become erected, and everyone has become a cross-legged lying on a seat, like a three-tiered human flesh storage rack.
"Basically, is this sleeping in the sky?" Shu Kang's biggest synaesthesia for this posture is to teach Xiao Tao to do the first part of the "shoulder and elbow handstand", the whole person lies flat on the yoga mat, the legs are raised——— any movement related to the sleeping posture makes Shu Kang feel at ease.
She didn't know why she was in a hurry to catch the unscheduled flight of the "space shuttle", nor did she know where she was flying, let alone knowing that she was wearing this bulky spacesuit, why she didn't feel any surprise and freshness, it seemed to be "taken for granted", just like wearing slimming sportswear for fitness and wearing a beautiful skirt for a date, which is normal.
Then, there was a muffled loud noise from under the whole body, and the whole body seemed to be lying on top of each other by seven or eight big men at the same time, and the whole person was pressed tightly against the back of the seat, completely unable to move, and even his breathing was forced to pause almost at the same time, and all the cells were tensed, and it was impossible to describe the feeling of almost being scattered.
In this way, it kept getting heavier, heavier, faster, faster, and faster, and Shu Kang had exhausted all the energy in his body, closed his facial features, clenched his hands into fists, and resisted this unusual oppression with all his might.
I don't know how long it took, maybe only a few minutes, but she felt like it had been hours, and all the discomfort suddenly disappeared, and if it weren't for the seatbelt, she felt like she was going to float out of her seat.
The back of the front seat in front of her gradually changed its posture, and the vertical stack of seats pressed down again, turning into a flat shape parallel to the horizon.
She finally took a long breath, released her fist, and opened her eyes to see the four round metal helmets in front of her, shining brightly reflecting the light of the white lights in the cabin; At this time, she noticed that the spacesuit, which was still too bulky to put on just now, had no special weight at this time, and she could try to twist her head to look at the scenery outside the glass window——— it was the scenery of space, the kind that was not obstructed by any haze, the pure black background canopy, the kind that all the light could not escape, in the distance, scattered, scattered with a few stars, it seemed, all the stars were on a plane, up or down, they were all pure black, pure black, boundless black......
At this time, she remembered that C1 also had a passenger who was sitting next to her, and she was so nervous that she was dying from catching up with the spaceship, and she hadn't had time to meet the "flying friend" this time!
She turned her head and was about to look at the "flying friend" next to her, but she heard a "bang", and the fully transparent semi-open glass door of the entire spacecraft like a fighter plane cracked in the middle, and as soon as it retreated into the canopy structure of the front and rear cabins at the same time, the six people and their seats were directly bounced into the air ——— space, turning into six independent small flying machines.
Shu Kang was frightened again, and his first reaction was to quickly grasp the left and right handrails with both hands. But the seat was still rising rapidly, and she felt that she was almost unable to grasp her seat aircraft, let alone how to control the flight attitude of the chair. In the panic, she pressed the buttons on the armrests indiscriminately, so her "flying chair" also became fast and slow, flying up and down, left and right, and sometimes about to crash into the flying chair of another "flying guest", she quickly opened her eyes wide, and freed one hand to shake desperately, expressing her "unskilled" apology.
Just as she repeatedly passed by these "flying passengers" who had been traveling with her, she noticed that the figures of the other five passengers "swished" easily in front of her eyes, and she found that their flying posture was characteristic: they all crossed their arms in front of their chests, and then firmly grasped the two hollowed-out armrests next to the seats, which had obvious gripping positions.
"That's how you fix yourself! Double insurance, creative! ”
He learned very quickly, and he also staggered his arms in the same way, and grasped the right and left armrests with his left and right hands respectively.
