Chapter 211: An Unexpected Encounter
Yang Ping felt that it was a mistake not to organize a collective assessment of the underground area every year by all the Martian residents, where there is a backlog of waste from the establishment of the Martian colony to the present.
Due to financial and technical problems, as well as the progress of construction, the colony did not yet have the ability to discharge waste to the outside world, and had to accumulate in underground space.
And under the effect of the perennial constant temperature in the heavenly dome, the smell does not need to be imagined to know how unbearable it is.
For the sake of the life and death of thousands of people, Yang Ping held back his tears and set off without hesitation, and walked towards the space elevator, that is, the center of the Martian colony, according to the general orientation in his impression.
The strong feeling of suffocation makes the brain a little sluggish, not that the feeling of suffocation is imposed by himself, unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to inhale a breath of deadly air, it is too uncomfortable!
Yang Pingcang Huangjian accidentally stepped on a pile of unnamed objects, which was not as strong as the surface, and after stepping on it, the shoes simply fell into it.
"Damn it!" Yang Ping scolded indignantly, and quickly covered his mouth, the sound here can be transmitted far away, and it is extremely unwise to make a loud noise.
He carefully pulled his feet out of the dirt, and the shoes had already seeped into them, causing his toes to be sticky and uncomfortable, and a strong stench came to his face.
I couldn't go like this, so I simply took off my shoes and socks, and I felt much more comfortable immediately, especially the feeling of nausea that was crowded and sticky disappeared for the most part.
After about twenty minutes of travel, Yang Ping was getting closer and closer to the space elevator, and he was about to speed up his pace to rush over, but unexpectedly, an isolation door rose in the passage in front of him, blocking his path, and isolation doors also rose behind him.
This is set up to prevent air leakage from underground structures, and once sealed, even the gas will be blocked, let alone people passing by.
It must have been Owen who discovered the fact that he had escaped, and with EA's experience, he certainly wouldn't have been negligent in missing the underground area.
Yang Ping saw that the way to enter the space elevator base station through the underground passage was hopeless, and instead of inhaling these foul smells here, it was better to find a way to go from above.
There is an ascent maintenance channel next to it, I don't know where it is, but it won't be too far from the space elevator, let's go up first.
He climbed down the ladder to the top, which was an electronic password door, and Yang Ping, who had password authority, would certainly not be trapped.
"Whew...... Cough...... Cough...... It's damn ......."
Yang Ping, who breathed the first breath of clean air, almost fainted with happiness, and for the first time in his life, he felt that the air could smell so good.
It's a utility room, and there are a lot of discarded instruments in it, and I don't know what to do with it.
Yang Ping tore off a gray cloth covering the instrument, wiped the dirty waste on his body, and finally felt more comfortable, not having to endure the thing that could spit out the overnight meal at a glance.
"Squeak~Knock~"
There was a sound of the door opening and closing outside the storage room, it seemed that someone was coming, listening to the footsteps was coming to the storage room, it must be the person who attracted the smell on his body, the smell was too obvious, and he could smell it from afar.
No, when determining whether the other person can ask for help, it must not be lightly exposed.
He lifted a gray step and burrowed inside, clinging to the instrument, hoping not to be discovered.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and there is a smell of noodles, will it be the kitchen outside, he is not exposed.
However, the ideal is very full, reality is always reality, a figure appeared in the storage room, through the gray step, there was a faint figure standing at the door.
"Don't hide, I cleaned this storage room myself, you're provoking my achievements."
Yang Ping's nerves tightened, but he didn't move and continued to squat next to the instrument, who knows if you are cheating.
"Hey, isn't it fun, I can draw a hand-drawn picture of these instruments with only one eye closed, I can't see where there is more and less piece, or you want to live here, I can lock the door!"
Come on, you cow, you can do it, you know what this place is like with your eyes closed.
Yang Ping came out from under the gray cloth with a gloomy face and looked at the person who found him.
It's familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere......
"Yang Ping?"
"Lebert?"
At the beginning, Lebert came here as a commissioner to make a lot of noise, how could Yang Ping, who was the chief controller of the space elevator, not recognize it.
However, Lebert must have the priority to evacuate, and he did not leave, but sat peacefully and ate noodles!
"Why are you here?" Yang Ping and Lebert wondered in unison.
"This is the Mars Astronomical Observatory, I'm not here, but why do you like to climb the underground passage, I heard that you are not seriously ill and recuperating?"
"Hey, brother, since it's your own person, please let me change my clothes and wash it first."
"No problem, come with me."
Lebert took all the noodles in the bowl in his mouth, ordered the soup and swallowed it directly.
is worthy of being born in the army, and the degree of neatness in eating is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and if you don't do it, you have to choke half to death.
Lemondo led Yang Ping to avoid the place where there were people and came to his private bedroom, he knew that Yang Ping's appearance must be unspeakable, and it was better to be cautious and cautious in everything.
Yang Ping was not afraid that there was a big man watching from the side, and he quickly washed and changed his clothes, Lebert's figure was slightly stronger than him, and he could finally wear it.
"Now what kind of situation can force you, the general controller, to be like this, is it the residents stranded on Mars who are chasing you?"
"No, I escaped from Owen."
"Run?" Lebert keenly captures a keyword.
"That's right, I'm controlled by him, recuperation is just a rhetoric to the outside world, do you think I've been sick for so long?"
"Oh, I thought Owen was saying this to protect you, after all, the place under your jurisdiction has not been peaceful."
"Mr. Lebert, I'm at my point, I trust you completely, listen to me, Owen is doing something crazy, and I must stop it."
"Mr. Yang rest assured, to be honest, I don't want to care about other things, the task given to me by Mr. Alvin has not been completely completed, and I am staying here completely for the task."
"Okay, listen, Owen now controls the food, water, and necessities in the entire Sky Dome, and has also opened the emergency storage vault, which contains a batch of weapons, and he is ready to integrate everyone."
"That's fine, it's reasonable to do so now."
"But in order to avoid a riot for the last 5,000 or so evacuations, he decided to blow up the Babel 3!"
"Blow it up?!" Lemont was obviously stunned when he heard this, he couldn't react a little, even if he was highly intelligent, he had to slowly figure out the beginning and end of the incident.
"Yes, he wants 20,000 people to die on Mars together, and I have no objection to doing so, but I hope to give people a chance to redeem themselves and save more than 5,000 lives together!"
"Well, I get the idea, but I can't help you much, and I won't leave here until I'm done."
