Chapter Thirty-Four: Mars Base
The Mars base was indeed overcrowded, and the spaceport was so full of surviving ships that the Nine could not enter the harbor and anchor.
Shu Yunpeng was busy asking people to put down the landing craft and send Claire and Zhang Jingyi to land on Mars. He originally wanted to send Claire to Earth and turn around and go to Earth, but he was notified that the spaceship on Earth to deliver medical personnel and medical equipment had departed and would arrive soon.
He didn't have to rush to Earth. He arranged the affairs of the ninth ship and left the ship in the second landing craft.
The spaceport was in shambles, and several of the wounded warships looked really miserable. The base was full of people, noisy and busy, which made people's scalps explode.
He approached Claire: "Do you want my help?" ”
"Jingyi is here, no need." She said, "You're tired enough, go back to the ship and rest!" ”
Indeed, when he first became the captain of the ship, he was basically chasing ducks to the shelves, and he was not familiar with many things, and sometimes he was afraid that he would make a mess and help him. Since Claire said so, he also pushed the boat: "Okay, I'll look around......"
Before he finished speaking, Claire didn't have time to deal with him, she was already busy with herself.
He felt a little bored and wanted to help take care of the wounded, but he dismissed the idea. In the past two days, he has hardly closed his eyes, and he is indeed quite tired: "Since you are here, take a look at this place and get to know it." ”
He grabbed a man who appeared to be a Martian base and asked how to get to the mine. The man gave him a strange look and pointed to the sign on the wall.
He looked at the sign and walked in the direction it pointed.
There were a lot of people, and they bumped and walked for a long time along the way, and finally there were fewer people. He saw the gate of the mine, which was closed, and there were two heavily armed soldiers standing at the gate, and there was a guard box next to it.
"Is it necessary to be so guarded?" He turned back to Qin Huaiyu who was following behind him.
"Those who enter it are basically prisoners...... Qin Huaiyu said: "Even if they are not criminals, due to other mistakes, once they get here, they are almost like prisoners!" ”
Shu Yunpeng remembered the four beautiful escorts from the previous round, and his face sank. He hesitated at the gate, wondering if he should go any further.
"Go back, Captain!" Qin Huaiyu said softly behind him.
"Nope! Check it out! Shu Yunpeng decided.
Qin Huaiyu stepped forward and had a brief conversation with the soldier, then turned around and called him in. As he walked to the gate, the two soldiers raised their hands in salute in unison.
The group of five of them walked about five hundred meters inside, and a second lieutenant appeared with two soldiers. When they saw Shu Yunpeng, the second lieutenant stepped forward and raised his hand to salute: "Captain, for your safety, we need to accompany you." ”
"I have guards," Shu Yunpeng was surprised: "Will there be any danger?" ”
"Yes, Captain!"
Answering so surely, Shu Yunpeng didn't retreat, he could only shrug his shoulders and follow behind them. After about five hundred meters, the mine arrived.
"This is it," said the second lieutenant.
The location of their group is a raised platform above the work area, facing the work area with tempered glass. Looking down from here, there are very few people working inside.
"I can't see clearly, can I go down and have a look?"
"It's better not to, it's very dusty and the air is very unclean."
"Then, the people who work inside ......" Shu Yunpeng didn't finish speaking, Qin Huaiyu pulled the corner of his clothes.
He looked back at Qin Huaiyu, and the faces of the four of them were very unsightly. After all, this is likely to be where they will be, and when they think of this, their faces can't get better.
"I'm going down!"
Seeing that Shu Yunpeng insisted on going down, the second lieutenant hurriedly asked someone to bring a gas mask. However, Shu Yunpeng insisted on not wearing it. Seeing that he didn't wear it, Qin Huaiyu and the four of them naturally didn't wear it either. This time, the second lieutenant and her two soldiers did not dare to wear it.
They walked out of the high platform, down the high steps, and down to the work area.
"There is a person named Zhao Mengyao, who should have just been here, is it here?" As he descended the steps, Shu Yunpeng asked the second lieutenant. He only remembered the name of the female guard who was the first of the four.
"Yes, she's." The second lieutenant replied.
But when he got down, he didn't recognize anyone at all. What he saw was a group of naked women, only shoes still on their feet. They were covered in ash, and they could not see the original color of their skin, nor the original color of their hair......
He turned his face to look at the ensign.
"Tell her to come out? ......" The second lieutenant also looked at Shu Yunpeng, and when he saw him nodding, he shouted to the group of people: "Zhao Mengyao, come out!" ”
In the crowd, a man stopped his hand and slowly turned around.
"Come here!"
She staggered and walked slowly...... Standing in front of Shu Yunpeng was a woman soaked in ashes. The ash on her body, covered with sweat, was mottled with sweat; Her hair, her eyelashes, and even the secret spots between her legs were covered with dust...... Seeing Shu Yunpeng, her originally distracted eyes slowly revealed a light of extreme hatred.
Shu Yunpeng, who was extremely shocked, was completely stunned. His mind went blank, and it was a long, long time before he could barely squeeze out a sentence: "I'm sorry ......"
She suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of teeth that looked very white, and her appearance looked even more hideous: "Sympathize with me? ”
"I'm so sorry...... I, I didn't know it would be like this......"
"Would it be useful to say sorry now?" She was still smiling like that, and Shu Yunpeng was terrified: "Second Lieutenant!" But thank you for coming to see me......"
As she spoke, she suddenly picked up a piece of ore from the ground and threw it at Shu Yunpeng: "Die!" ”
Shu Yunpeng was completely defenseless, but Qin Huaiyu, who was ready at any time, pushed Shu Yunpeng away. At the same time, the other three guards and the second lieutenant and two soldiers pounced, controlled Zhao Mengyao, and pressed her arms to the ground.
"Don't hit her!" Shu Yunpeng jumped up and shouted, "Let her go!" ”
The guards and soldiers let go.
Zhao Mengyao struggled to get up, squeezing her twisted arm with both hands. She didn't look at anyone, just looked at Qin Huaiyu, and smiled sadly: "You still save him?" …… Hmph, one day, you'll be just like me! ”
After she finished speaking, she staggered towards the construction site.
