"Girl!"

Tang Yue's muscles twitched all over his body, and he raised his head suddenly.

It was already bright outside, the bright sunlight fell on the floor through the porthole, and the air was floating with swirling dust, Tang Yue blinked vigorously and looked around, the time was now nine forty in the morning, he was the only one in the hall, and the old cat should have gone out to carry solar panels.

Half of Tang Yue's face was numb, and his saliva flowed down the table, it was obvious that he actually slept on the table last night, and the bastard of the old cat didn't wake him up and let him sleep on the bed, Tang Yue recalled his last conversation with Mai Dong...... She told herself not to fall asleep anyway and wait for her to come back.

Thinking of this, Tang Yue chuckled in his heart.

It's not good, it's a pigeon.

Damn it.

Judging from the current situation, he must not have been able to hold out of the space station out of the no-signal zone, and he slept from last night to now, really like a pig.

Tang Yue picked up the saliva soaked scratch paper on the table, threw it aside, then put on the headset and called the United Space Station.

He was thinking about how to apologize to Mai Dong.

There was only a sizzling noise in the headphones, Tang Yue took off the headphones and patted them, there was still no signal, the communication quality between the Kunlun station and the joint space station was getting worse and worse, and even the most basic voice calls could not be guaranteed recently...... Tang Yue glanced at the time, at this time, the United Space Station may be in the no-signal area.

He washed up briefly and began to eat breakfast, taking advantage of this time to think about how to explain to Mai Dong later.

Excuse me, I'm so sleepy I can't hold on?

It's entirely my eyelids' responsibility, and they disobey orders and don't follow the instructions of their brains to close without permission?

I'm sorry I accidentally fell asleep, and as compensation for the lobsters on the cargo spaceship are all yours?

Tang Yue was slowly nibbling on biscuits, waiting for the signal from the space station, while thinking about whether he could block Mai Dong's mouth with a lobster.

If lobster doesn't work, add canned fruit.

With a "click", the hatch of the airlock room opened, and the old cat came back with heavy steps, it locked the hatch, turned around and glanced at Tang Yue, did not speak, went straight to the wall and put the tools hanging on his body on the shelf, and then returned to the table and sat down.

"The battery board is in place?" Tang Yue asked.

"Hmm."

"Stray dogs are okay?"

"Hmm."

"What is your job today? Continue to refine the rendezvous process? ”

"Hmm."

"Communication with the space station is getting worse and worse."

"Hmm."

Tang Yue glanced at the old cat, this cat seemed to be duller than before.

"Is this headset broken? It's been barking all the time, old cat, can you fix this thing? Tang Yue took off his headphones and shook them.

"There is no problem with the headphones." The old cat said lightly.

"Is there something wrong with the communication system?" Tang Yue frowned.

The old cat raised his head and looked straight at Tang Yue, it was difficult to say what kind of gaze it was in those cat's eyes, as if it was about to penetrate Tang Yue's body, the latter was stunned, Tang Yue was numb by it, "You...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"Are you waiting for Miss Mai Dong?"

"Yes......" Tang Yue nodded, "She should be in the no-signal zone now, and she will ...... later"

Tang Yue was suddenly stunned, and the second half of the sentence was blocked in his throat.

He has been waiting for Mai Dong since he woke up, and has been waiting until now, after washing up and having breakfast in the middle, even the old cat who has come back from his daily routine work, and there is still no news from the United Space Station.

If she is in the no-signal zone, then this no-signal zone is inevitably too long.

With a "click", the headphones fell on the table, and Tang Yue suddenly became at a loss.

"Don't wait." The old cat looked away and whispered.

Tang Yue was stunned, and immediately realized what the old cat meant, but he didn't believe it, how could this be possible? The Joint Space Station is clearly still at a safe altitude, it is clearly still at a safe altitude! Tang Yue sat down and turned on the computer and communication system, and searched for the signal of the United Space Station like crazy, but his hands were trembling, and then his whole body began to tremble, holding the mouse and clicking the button on the computer desktop, he clicked several times in a row and failed to hit.

"Don't scare me...... Don't scare me, don't scare me, don't scare me, don't scare me, girl......"

The old cat sat opposite without saying a word, watching Tang Yueqiao make all his efforts and possibly contact the space station.

Watch as his hands slowly stop trembling and tremble again, as his gradually quickened movements slow down again, as he pushes away all the tools at his disposal, and finally as he sits motionless in his chair, like a stone statue.

"Say...... It's been eleven days...... Tang Yue's Adam's apple moved, his voice was dry and hoarse, there had never been such a moment when he was so helpless, and he couldn't find anyone to pray for, "Say it...... Yes...... It's a hundred kilometers......"

"Put on your headphones." The old cat threw the earphones over and threw them in Tang Yue's arms.

Tang Yue put the headphones on.

There was no noise of electricity in the headphones, it was very quiet, only the soft breathing of a certain girl.

Tang Yue jumped up like an electric shock and looked at the old cat in surprise.

The latter shook his head and pointed at the computer, "This is the recording." ”

Tang Yue didn't have time to say anything, he held down the headphones, held his breath, and waited for the person in the headphones to speak.

"Mr. Cat." Mai Dong spoke, still in a familiar crisp voice, and Tang Yue's body trembled.

"Miss Mai Dong."

This is the voice of an old cat.

"Is Tang Yue asleep?"

"Yes, I fell asleep on the table, and I slept very hard." "I just gave him three big-eared shaves and kicked him in the ass, but he still slept like a dead pig." ”

The girl smiled bitterly and sighed faintly, "Then let him go back to sleep, he's too tired." ”

"Okay."

"Tang Yue said that he wouldn't fall asleep, but he fell asleep again, and he still owes me a lot of stories that he hasn't told." Mai Dong said, "Did the class leader who beat the teacher when he was in middle school get expelled, did his physical education teacher and art teacher get together later, and whether the old man who watched the school gate was a relative of the principal...... He didn't even tell me. ”

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"Mr. Cat, it's the seventh day."

"Yes"

"The life of the space station is coming to an end."

"No, the remaining lifespan of the space station is between seven and eleven days......"

"Mr. Cat." Mai Dong interrupted it.

The old cat was silent for a moment, it wanted to say something, but in the end it didn't say it.

"I'm looking at the Martian ground under my feet right now, and I think it's very close to me, and I'm on the space station, so I know best how long the space station will last." Mai Dong said softly, his tone was calm but steady, "This is a small boat that is about to sink, it is an old man who is dying and terminally ill, I watch its life pass bit by bit every day, and it is trying to live tenaciously like us." ”

"Miss Mai Dong." The old cat can't say anything, and it's useless to say anything at this time.

"It's just like us, it's trying hard and tenaciously to live, ...... live" The girl's steady voice was suddenly broken and began to tremble, she bit her lip and tried her best to suppress her crying, "But Mr. Cat...... I...... I really want to live, I really want to live, I want to go down and meet you, I want to marry Tang Yue, I want to have my own children......"

"For ...... Why can't I have my own life...... Why do I have to face this fate......" Mai Dong couldn't suppress her emotions, she hugged herself tightly, crying bitterly, crying all over, tears floating and rolling in the glass mask, "What did I do wrong...... What am I doing wrong...... ...... do this to me."

The old cat was silent.

"Bastard! Bastard...... Bastard...... Mix...... Egg ......"

Mai Dong hammered the inner wall of the Crystal cabin one by one, crying all over his body.

The old cat still didn't speak, it was indeed a bastard, Tang Yue was also a bastard, all human beings were bastards, so many people, a huge civilization, couldn't even protect the happiness of a little girl.

After some time, the girl's crying gradually subsided.

Mai Dong snorted and calmed his mood, "Makes you laugh, Mr. Cat." ”

"No, it's me who should apologize to you, Tang Yue and I should both apologize to you." The old cat shook his head, "I'm sorry, Miss Mai Dong, we can't save you." ”

We can't save you.

There was a long silence in the channel.

"It's not your fault, Mr. Cat." Mai Dong raised his head in the sun, "I feel so sorry for Tang Yue now...... What will he do when he wakes up tomorrow morning and learns the news...... You'll take care of him, right, Mr. Cat? ”

"Yes."

"Then I'll be relieved." Mai Dong said, "You will take care of him." ”

"Miss Mai Dong, do you have anything to tell Tang Yue?"

Mai Dong leaned against the inner wall of the core module, she could feel the crystal module vibrating violently, the structure of the module let out a sharp wail, the orbital altitude of the space station had dropped to this point, the air resistance began to tear at its structure, the girl looked at the sun that was about to set in the distance, closed her eyes, and shook her head.

"Mr. Cat."

"I'm here."

"The sun is setting again, and I'm going to enter the no-signal zone again." The golden sunlight fell on the girl's face, "Do you think I can see the next sunrise?" ”

"Yes, Miss Mai Dong." The old cat replied, "Absolutely." ”

"Thank you."

Contact was interrupted.

Seven days after the accident on the Joint Space Station.

The space station crashed.
