Chapter 309: Let's Go Out
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake this time."
In the process of Ye Qianhu rushing to the escape pod, Lilith had already completed the communication with him on this mission, which was rare, this time Lilith took the initiative to take the responsibility on herself.
"I think it may be that in the process of killing Kevin, it consciously put a part of the tissue cells into David or Xiu's body, and their bodies can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of these cells and tissues."
In her mind, Lilith continued, "I didn't detect the presence of these cells when they were just differentiated, and I didn't know that the Martian creatures were not completely dead until a new independent consciousness was born. ”
"I'm more concerned about what happens to my mission?" Ye Qianhu asked in his consciousness.
Lilith immediately replied, "Strictly speaking, Kevin has already been killed by you, so the 50 power points of that mission are already yours." ”
"Now release a new mission, completely kill the newborn Martian creature, the task reward, 50 energy points, this time, please kill it completely, and don't leave a single cell behind."
With that, Lilith fell silent again, and Ye Qianhu immediately entered the escape pod where Miranda was.
After Miranda activates the escape pod and detachs it from the space station, the thrusters on the escape pod are already working, and there is no need to worry about operation at all. According to the predetermined procedure, the escape pod will automatically adjust its attitude and automatically complete the subsequent landing process on Earth.
"Didn't you say there was another way to leave?"
Miranda looked a little nervous, looked at the display screen on the control panel, where the trajectory of the escape pod was clearly displayed, and said to Ye Qianhu without words.
Ye Qianhu shook his head, "That's because my mission hasn't been completed yet, so my original way of leaving can't be used." ”
"Wait, isn't your mission to kill Kevin?"
Miranda was suddenly stunned, her voice raised slightly, and she turned her head to look at Ye Qianhu beside her, "Kevin is not dead yet?!" ”
Nodding, Ye Qianhu said: "I hope you can calm down when you hear what I say next, Kevin was killed by me, but before it died completely, it took the initiative to separate some of its tissue cells, and now, it is in another escape pod, and it has grown into a new monster!" ”
Patting Miranda on the shoulder, Ye Qianhu said: "They are likely to have been killed, I'm sorry for that, but you don't have time to grieve, we have to go and catch up with that escape pod, and kill it completely before that thing inside leaves the escape pod!" ”
In the faint lighting of the escape pod, Miranda and Ye Qianhu looked at each other, nodding very lightly but firmly, Ye Qianhu could feel Milan's body trembling slightly.
She must have felt very uncomfortable in her heart, because of a Martian monster, her friends died one after another, and now, only the last person left is her.
"The escape pod can be switched to manual driving, and we can chase it." Talking to herself, Miranda carefully pressed a few buttons on the control panel, and then another signal appeared on the display, and although communication between the two escape pods could no longer be established, it could show the location of the other escape pod when it was not too far away.
Moreover, after precise calculations, the computer in the escape capsule can not only calculate its own trajectory, but also make a prediction of the trajectory of another ship.
"David, their escape pods are still moving according to their predetermined trajectory, and if there were really Martian creatures in there, they might have died."
Whispering, Miranda looked at the display on the panel anyway and said, "Now change to manual operation and start adjusting the trajectory of the escape pod." ”
Because of the delay of some time, their current escape pod is already some distance away from the escape pod that David and they are riding.
With a difference of at least a few thousand meters, it is simply impossible to expect to use an escape pod to chase another one a few kilometers away, after all, this is not drag racing.
What Miranda is doing now is to adjust the flight direction of the escape pod according to the data given by the escape pod computer after switching to manual driving, so that her trajectory can follow another escape pod.
Then, before the Martian creatures in the escape pod that David and the others were riding on, they rushed over in time and cleaned them up thoroughly!
With the help of a computer, switching tracks wasn't too difficult, and Miranda quickly finished her job and ended the manual operation. It can now be seen that the flight trajectories of the two escape pods on the display almost coincide.
After doing all this, Miranda opened another device above, and when she saw the name of that device, Ye Qianhu couldn't help but say, "Are you sure it's necessary to do this?" ”
Miranda didn't see it, and said calmly: "We have to prepare for the worst. ”
After a pause, Miranda began to say when the machine's start prompt sounded, "This is Dr. Miranda Nou's black box recording to prevent death on return." ”
"This Martian creature, which killed three of the six ISS astronauts, and the astronaut Dr. David Jordan and the pilot Xiu in another escape pod were assumed dead."
"All five of my colleagues died to maintain the firewall, so please pay tribute to them for all they have done."
"Martian creatures should be seen as dangerous, and don't underestimate their intelligence and adaptability, and we don't have a good way to suppress or eradicate it. If this thing does reach Earth, use all resources to destroy it, or it will endanger all mankind. ”
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Miranda turned off the recording device.
"But the speech," Ye Qianhu said, "but I think these things are more convincing for you to tell them in person." ”
Miranda said noncommittally: "Perhaps, I am dead, and I am more able to let them know the horror of Martian creatures than I am alive." ”
Ye Qianhu chuckled lightly and said, "I really don't know, whether to say that you are noble or crazy." ”
"I'm not noble, I'm not crazy, I'm just a scientist, and my mission is to ......"
"Bang !!"
Before Miranda could finish speaking, a strong collision suddenly interrupted all this, and just a moment ago, the escape capsule, which had already broken away from the space station, slammed into a huge debris!
It was a part of a solar panel, and when it was hit by the spaceship before, the entire huge solar panel was shattered, and the larger part of it happened to block the path of the escape pod that Ye Qianhu and they were riding, and just slammed into the escape pod.
The lights in the cabin immediately turned red with warning colors, and at the same time, the computer was also making a rapid alarm sound, and the information displayed on the screen kept beating because the signal transmission was affected, and even the escape pod, which was still a smooth flight, began to tremble!
"No, no, no, don't!"
Miranda hurriedly operated the control equipment in the escape pod, but just after a few quick clicks on an instrument on her right, a cloud of electric sparks burst out of it, frightening Milanda to retract her hand.
"Miranda, tell me about the damage to the escape pod!" Sensing that the situation was not good, Ye Qianhu immediately asked.
While trying to get the escape pod back to normal, Miranda told Ye Qianhu about the situation of the escape pod, "There is a problem with the balance system, there is a problem with the navigation system, damn it, we can only return to Earth manually now, but I'm not sure if the joystick can really control this escape pod!" ”
"You can do it! You can do it! ”
Talking incessantly, Miranda struggled to pull the lever in an attempt to get the escape pod back on the right track.
It's a pity that Ye Qianhu, who was next to her, saw on the display screen that jumped from time to time that the signal point representing their escape pod in the picture was drawing a smooth parabola and was moving away from the earth, while the other escape pod with the existence of Martian creatures was returning to the earth little by little in the picture!
What a familiar scene, perhaps the influence of the inertia of the world, although the reasons are different, the details are different, but they are similar results. Monsters that shouldn't have reached Earth landed on Earth, and people who were supposed to return to Earth were thrown into outer space.
Unfortunately, Ye Qianhu has basically determined that it is impossible for Miranda to restore this escape pod to normal.
And in this process, he has no way to help at all. This is not at all the face-to-face combat that he is best at from time to time, and in terms of combat, Miranda and Ye Qianhu are not comparable at all. But in terms of piloting this escape pod, even if he is not a real driver, Miranda, who has been trained in a professional system, is still better than Ye Qianhu.
Feeling the big guy rolling around from the observation window of the escape pod, Ye Qianhu suddenly regretted it, knowing that he might have to find a way to get a return to the cabin system space.
However, there is no point in talking about this now, it is better to complain that the world he was in before did not have a chance for him to get a high-tech spaceship.
Greedily breathing the oxygen in the escape pod, trying to keep his body stocked with more oxygen. Ye Qianhu knew very well that in a short period of time, he would have no oxygen to use.
"Miranda, stop!" Ye Qianhu said suddenly.
Miranda looked at him suspiciously, a little unsure of what Ye Qianhu meant, but Ye Qianhu's next sentence made her think that she was hallucinating.
Ye Qianhu looked at Miranda and said seriously: "Get ready, let's go out!" ”
