232 It's up to you
Chen Xu glanced at Yang Jinxia's location through the light screen on the mask, which was more than ten kilometers away. In the past, I used to take the teleportation pod everywhere I went, and I didn't have a specific concept of distance. Now, when it was time to walk, he realized that the Dawn was too big.
When he reached the end of the passage, he found that the door in front of him would not open automatically. He pushed the right at a position marked with a manual marker, revealing a flipped red switch.
He clasped the switch with his hand and pulled it hard, only to hear a snort, and the door opened a distance of ten centimeters. He stepped forward and clasped his hands on one side and forcefully opened the door.
Outside the door, it was dark, and the light on the top of the passage behind him could only shine on the part in front, and at a glance, it went from light to darkness, and finally was swallowed up by darkness.
He turned on the lights that came with the spacesuit, and a beam of light lit up on each shoulder, illuminating more than ten meters away.
He took a step and walked towards the dark passage, and before he could reach the floor, he felt a light under his feet, so he no longer hesitated, and with a kick of his hind foot, the whole person flew out like an arrow.
When the power goes out in this area, the gravity maintenance equipment naturally stops working and becomes weightless again.
There are handrails on both sides of the corridor, and it is in this situation that it will be inconvenient to move in weightlessness. With these handrails, there is a place to borrow force and facilitate travel.
Chen Xuren floated in the air, that feeling was very unaccustomed, the force in his hands was not well controlled, and the direction was easy to deviate. However, his talent was fully displayed at this point, and after a few times, the adjustment was completed.
"Taichu, can you let me talk to her?" After he got used to this way of traveling, he had time to ask Taichu.
"Please set the communication channel to wireless line 1."
Chen Xu adjusted the channel according to his words, and after a few seconds, Taichu said, "You can talk." ”
He asked urgently, "Yang Jinxia, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Yang Jinxia's voice was a little distorted, but his mid-air was quite sufficient, not like he was injured, and he was slightly relieved.
Then, somewhat depressed, she said, "I seem to be stuck, though." ”
Chen Xu's heart rose again, "Huh? What is the situation? ”
"There is a passage, which may have been affected by the explosion/explosion, and the deformation is stuck and cannot be opened. I've changed several layers, and it's all like this. ”
Chen Xu listened to her description and said, "In this way, you stay there, don't run around, I'll go to look for you now." ”
"Well, be careful."
"I will." Chen Xu said, remembering one more thing, "Also, look around and stock up on some food and water." In this case, food and water may become scarce in the future. ”
"Okay."
"Let's do this for now, and in half an hour, we'll communicate again." After Chen Xu finished speaking, he ended the call.
…………
On the other side, Yang Jinxia was suspended in the passage, holding the handrail with one hand, looking at the closed passage gate through the transparent hood.
"Master, do you need to call S01 to help?" Next to it, 2003, who acts as a light source, asked.
"No, I don't." Yang Jinxia shook his head, turned around, and said, "Let's go, go collect some food and water, we may have to stay in this area for many days." ”
With that, she took 2003 with her and turned to the nearby residential area.
…………
More than ten kilometers is a straight-line distance, and when he really wanted to go, Chen Xu found that some places were impassable at all, such as some more important areas, the doors were particularly heavy, and he wanted to pull them open alone, which was particularly difficult.
After trying it once, he came across a similar place, and they all went around directly.
In fact, the most convenient path is the conveyor channel of the transfer cabin, but the entrance hatch is designed to prevent accidents in the event of a power failure, and it will automatically lock once the power is off. The entire door panel can only be removed with special tools. It is cumbersome to operate alone.
Another way is to break it violently, which is the energy gun used last time, but the arsenal is in the other direction. It took him time to go back and forth, and he could find Yang Jinxia.
After walking nearly half the way, he noticed an even bigger problem, this neighborhood, probably close to the explosion/explosion area, was impacted, and everywhere was a little deformed, and some doors were completely stuck and could not be opened at all.
In this case, he could only choose to take a detour, and the farther and farther, unconsciously, the distance he walked out had exceeded more than ten kilometers. But the distance with Yang Jinxia is getting farther and farther, reaching more than 20 kilometers.
Even so, he was still able to calm down, and every half hour, he contacted her to make sure she was okay.
After three hours, he felt a little lacking in physical strength, so he stopped to rest for a while, and by the way, he had something to eat to replenish his energy.
The main reason is that he has just gone through eight hours of study, and his state is not very good, and he is really tired after three hours of travel. Don't look at him floating all the way, relying on the strength of his arms, which is actually very laborious. After sitting down, he felt that his arms could not be lifted a little.
"Chen Xu."
After setting an alarm clock, he fastened the holder on his waist to the armrest and closed his eyes. Suddenly, the voice of the primordial sounded in my ears, high and low, as if the signal had been interfered with, "In the future, the future of mankind depends on you." ”
Chen Xu heard an ominous premonition from its words, "What do you mean?" ”
"The backup power supply in the cockpit was once diverted to other uses, leaving only one-tenth of the original one, and now the main engine is about to lose power...... In the future, whether human beings can continue depends on your ......"
The sound of the beginning became smaller and smaller, and finally, it came to an abrupt end.
Chen Xu looked at the opposite wall in a daze, after the initial shutdown, it meant that hundreds of years of human efforts in this world had come to naught. In order to survive, they fled the solar system, but as a result, they still failed to save their fate.
"It's just a game."
He muttered, but there was no way to dispel the heaviness in his heart.
…………
Forty minutes later, Chen Xu continued to hurry, this time, there was no Taichu to show him the way, he could only rely on the map that came with the cosmic suit, groping forward.
It took him a total of more than twenty hours to successfully join Yang Jinxia.
She hid in one house after another, with several large packages made of curtain cloth floating beside her.
When Chen Xu entered, she didn't react, and when she looked closely, it turned out that she was asleep. Next to 2003, he made a silencing gesture.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, he was completely relieved, and made a gesture to 2003, signaling that he was going to find something, put down the thing at hand, turned around and left.
After the initial shutdown, it means that all the equipment on the Dawn is no longer functional, and it cannot provide any industrial products, and all they can use is the materials they already have.
One of the most troublesome is oxygen.
The Aurora is big enough for them to survive for a long time, even if they don't make new oxygen.
The problem is that in those explosions/explosions, I don't know how damaged the spacecraft will be, and whether it will break through the outer walls of the spacecraft. If they caused an oxygen leak, they would have to rely on spacesuits to survive. Every once in a while, it is very troublesome to change the power supply and small oxygen production equipment.
To make matters worse, there was a small meteorite belt ahead, which would arrive in three days, and the original plan was to blast a safe passage with the ship's 100 main guns.
Now, naturally, this plan cannot be implemented. Three days later, the Dawn crashed into a meteorite belt, and at the current rate, it is definitely a consequence of the ship's destruction and death.
If you want to save yourself, the only way is to escape on Yang Jinxia's spaceship.
He had to race against the clock.
