Volume 1 Silent Night Chapter 1 The Debate for the Beginning
"Rustle... Tear and tear and tear", the broken projection screen emits a dim light, and two blurred figures are silently facing the sometimes faceless figures on the screen.
"All surviving soldiers of Pegasus R-23 are requested to continue to survive and gather information, and the support force will arrive in nineteen to twenty-one standard days. Because the information transmission is affected by insects and the special landform of this star, please take precautions on your own, in addition... Click..."
Voices are getting more and more indistinct.
A fist was drawn in the darkness, and a hammer was decisively given to the projection.
It is conceivable that under this crude and simple maintenance method with no scientific basis, the projection directly stopped working.
Neither of them moved again, nor did they want to speak.
A little time passed.
"Click", a firelight lit up, slightly illuminating the blackened face of Lu An'an, he looked around, quickly lit the small half of the cigarette that he had never known which one he touched, and quickly took a hard puff.
The red quickly brightened and then went out.
The projection screen lit up again, but unfortunately this time there was only a dim white light.
Lu An'an's face was full of intoxication, wisps of smoke were slowly exhaled by him, and his tense body was also relieved.
"Fatty, smoke less", in the darkness of the corner, another figure waved his hand to disperse the escaping smoke cloud, and finally spoke. He hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and dry. Lu An'an ignored him and continued to revel in the nicotine reassurance.
β¦ β¦
"Whew~," the cracked blackened palm rubbed, and a third of the cigarette was rudely extinguished. "It's the last one." Lu An'an sighed, but there was no regret.
"Alright," Yi An smiled, "There is not enough water to drink, and in two weeks at most, we will die of thirst here." β
"So what to do?" Lu Safety's aggrieved voice flickered loud and small, "I ate a loaf of bread today, and now you tell me that the water is not enough to drink?" I'm not afraid of death, Brother Yi, but I really don't want to die so wronged. β
"Let me think about it."
β¦β¦ There was a long silence again.
It was evening in R-23, and the two watched silently as the red star faded below the planet's horizon, and the faint lights of the star lit up in the distance. Seventy-seven defensive bases were left working on the plain, and if memory serves, the number was seventy-nine last night.
"Brother Yi, the insects here are almost dead. I won't be on duty tonight, I won't survive if I really bump into it anyway. β
"Rest, I'll sleep here."
"It's okay, it's all at this time, so I'm not polite to you, I'll go to sleep first." Lu Safety yawned loudly, "This notice has been waiting for so long, and the result is that after waiting for three weeks, no one has been gone for three weeks, hey!" Let's play with us. The chubby black hand waved, and the man had already slipped into the lounge.
β¦ β¦
Staring at the only remaining dim digital light screen, Yi An also fell into deep thought, and he habitually scratched his head, making this immature man who had been burned by blood and fire a little more youthful.
The current situation is indeed very urgent, and neither food nor water can support the two until the moment of rescue. It is also very unrealistic to go to other defense base stations, and the remaining weapons and equipment around the two of them are absolutely unable to face even a team of more than three insects and beasts, and it seems that there is no good solution except for resigning themselves to fate.
Food and drinking water are scarce, communications are not available, and the environment is unknown. If it weren't for the safety of the road, Yi An would have gone crazy, and in order to save his physical strength, he wouldn't even be able to do some exercise activities to soothe his body and spirit. At this time, he is a little envious of the fat man, he thinks so well, he can eat and sleep, although he mutters in his mouth, but his heart is really big.
Listen closely, a series of snoring of even length was already heard behind the half-closed door of the lounge.
"There's no way, you can't learn it, you can't learn it," smacking his lips, and the man felt a lot more relieved when he thought about it.
As soon as the lazy mind comes up, there is no way to concentrate on the vigil.
Leaned the back of the chair, put on the spare combat suit, and lay down comfortably. "It's hard to be idle, it's hard to be idle." Looking up, the night sky is also as bright as the mother star.
Born on a small habitable planet in a remote galaxy, he has no specific feelings about the survival of the race or the struggle for power at the moment. If there's anything that worries Yi An at the moment, it's his constant protest belly.
In order to be able to eat as long as possible, he and the fat man only ate one loaf of bread today, which is usually just a side dish for a meal.
The world is big, the stomach is the biggest, and when people are hungry, they will greatly stimulate their action to satisfy their appetites. Yi An didn't plan to lie down, and the night was also put aside. Picking up the light sniper rifle with a few bullets left, and tying two buttons haphazardly, Yi An rushed out almost at a trot. Of course, he didn't forget to close the door.
As the night deepened, the snoring gradually faded and dissipated as the fat man gradually fell asleep.
A cacophony could be heard in the distance.
The fat man rolled over, and his lips chirped, apparently he had a good meal in his dream.
β¦β¦
Walking quietly, the thin figure stopped at the door of the base station, Yi An raised his gun with great interest, watching this guy who came out of nowhere sneakily in front of the base station.
This is a barren and unexplored planet, and there can't be any thieves, but before he came, he had already given the soldiers science that there were no humanoid creatures on Pegasus, so he didn't shoot this guy as soon as he found out.
After going out for a long walk, he didn't find any living creatures, and this land that had been bloodily fought between humans and insects and beasts left only a large area of dead silence and desolation. However, Yi An was not too annoyed, and he expected to find nothing, and the scene he happened to encounter when he came back made him find it very interesting. If this person has any harmful intentions, the steel core bullet will immediately make this guy lose a leg.
To his surprise, the man in black knocked on the door.
"Knock knock", obviously it is also a very painful thing to hammer the door with a hand, "Anyone?" I saw that there was still light on your base station yesterday, and I came here for help. "It's a woman.
"Hey, knocking on the door, yes, hold your head, turn around and squat, don't act rashly." Yi An raised the gun, pulled the bolt of the gun that was not opened, and said, "Please explain your origin from this lady who doesn't know where you came from, there should be no non-Alliance human beings on this planet." β
"And dressed like a thief." The deputy captain of the squad who has been criticized by the commander for having a lot of ideas has been slandered.
The woman obediently hugged her head and turned around and squatted down, looking up at him.
It's pretty good. That was Ian's first thought.
How do you feel very fierce, this little expression, irrepressible anger and grievances, it is estimated that she is in her early twenties, a little girl. Isn't it nice to point a gun at someone?
Inexplicably, a little embarrassed, Yi Installation yawned and put the muzzle down.
"Well, girl, you have to make it clear, or I'll have to lock you up."
"Bad guy...", although the voice was small, Yi An still heard the girl's muttering.
"Who just knocked on the door?" Yi An supported his forehead, Lu An, a dead fat man, opened the door without wearing a shirt, what if the enemy attacked.
"Yo, what's going on?" The fat man was also confused.
"Hooligansβ" both of them heard the little girl's comments about the fat fellow.
"Hey, sister, speak politely, how did the adults in the family teach you?" Road safety is not happy anymore.
Yi An raised his hand and stopped the fat man who was going to mess around, "Let's go in first, put on your clothes, what kind of image, don't let the little girl laugh!?" β
