After Zhou Xin had arranged all the important matters, after more than an hour, the No. 1 and No. 2 engineering ships finally arrived at the gate of the base, where a group of Atlanteans who had been waiting for a retreat had been waiting for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the serious shortage of personnel, Zhou Xin had to once again ask Chang'e to follow the engineering ship to the surface of the planet to guide the Atlanteans to retreat. Just as the engineering ship opened the hatch, Zhou Xin saw from Chang'e's perspective that in the middle of the vast snowfield, a dark hole appeared at the foot of a small hill. It is like a beast that chooses to devour people, waiting for its prey with its mouth wide open. At the entrance to the cave, a line of Atlanteans waited silently.

As Chang'e approached the entrance of the cave, Zhou Xin clearly saw the faces of the Atlanteans, some were anxiously looking left and right, while others were dazed, as if they didn't know what was going on, and some seemed to have seen the landing of the engineering ship, and they were looking towards the location where the engineering ship had landed, wanting to know what was happening.

As Chang'e continued to approach, they finally saw Chang'e's existence, but they didn't see the excitement they imagined, Zhou Xin saw that some people showed panicked looks when they saw the robot behind Chang'e appear, but under the comfort of some other people next to them, they did not run away like Zhou Xin had met Christy before, but waited anxiously for Chang'e to approach. Chang'e walked quickly to the location of the entrance of the cave, and at the entrance of the cave, Zhou Xin saw a familiar person.

It was one of the Atlanteans who had followed Dart to pick up Redtina before, but instead of standing in the middle of the group, he was keeping order with a few other Atlanteans he didn't know. Seeing Chang'e's arrival, he didn't have the unfriendly look that Zhou Xin had seen before, but walked quickly to Chang'e's side.

didn't care about greetings, the first thing that person said when he saw Chang'e was directly: "The people who need to retreat are ready, and they are them." The man gestured to the line behind him. Chang'e glanced at the team, and at this time, Zhou Xin finally saw the appearance of the Atlanteans standing in the team.

The Atlanteans in the team looked very small, and Zhou Xin could tell at a glance that they were almost all childish, and some of the slightly older children were still holding a baby in their hands, and now many of them were looking nervously in the direction of Chang'e.

"Sure enough, every civilization has the same choices when it encounters a crisis." Zhou Xin thought in his heart, and then he said, "Okay, we don't have much time, let's organize a retreat quickly." ”

The Atlantean in front of Chang'e didn't say much nonsense, he saluted Chang'e, then turned around and began to command the team behind him, and with his command, those Atlantean children began to line up towards Chang'e. Seeing that they were in good order and didn't seem to need the help of the robot, Zhou Xin simply asked Chang'e to lead the way in front of the team. Coming to the side of the engineering ship, Chang'e commanded a little, and the children consciously divided into two teams and walked into the two parked engineering ships.

The process lasted about ten minutes, and after ten minutes the children were not all inside, the construction ship was already fully loaded, and after hearing the news, the Atlantean at the beginning looked a little anxious.

"Can't you load a little more?" He asked eagerly.

"It's already the maximum load, and any more of it will affect the take-off of the engineering ship." Looking at the remaining Atlanteans, Zhou Xin also felt a little regretful, but he still comforted, "Don't worry, there will be another engineering ship coming down in two hours, and these two engineering ships will also come back again in four hours, if there are only these people, our engineering ship will still be more than enough." ”

"The point is that it's not just these people." He continued, "According to the arrangement, there is still a group of scientific researchers and equipment that need to be evacuated. ”

"Researchers can, forget about the equipment." Zhou Xin said without thinking, "You can leave the scientific research data, and the equipment or something will be reproduced later, after all, people are more important, and our transportation capacity is limited, so try to pick the most important ones." ”

"Then I'll discuss it with the dean and them." The Atlantean said helplessly.

While they were talking, the two engineering ships had already set off, and without hesitation, they rose from the snowfield and flew straight towards the Voyager......

Two hours later, the repaired engineering ship III also arrived on the planet's surface. This time, it picked up all the children and a part of the researchers. The rest of the process went smoothly, and the Atlanteans retreated in an orderly manner, but the accident happened when the engineering ship returned to the planet's surface for the second time.

The ship received a group of scientific researchers who had already been prepared, and under the reminder of Zhou Xin before, they did not carry any equipment, and they all walked into the engineering ship alone. But in the middle of the team, Zhou Xin saw on the screen that several researchers were carrying a huge cabinet one person high and slowly moving in the team, the weight of the cabinet was not light, and the four researchers were still very difficult to carry together, seeing this situation, Zhou Xin was very surprised, and he motioned for Chang'e to walk next to those people.

"What is this?" Zhou Xin asked, his tone was a little dissatisfied, "Didn't you say don't bring equipment?" What do you mean by bringing such a big cabinet? But the researchers ignored Zhou Xin's words, and they were still carrying the big cabinet on their own. Seeing that he didn't get an answer from them, Zhou Xin raised this question to the people around him. But the people around shook their heads, not knowing what was in the cupboard.

So Zhou Xin had no choice but to warn them, "If you don't put down this cabinet, then you don't want to get on the ship." ”

At this point, one of the researchers, who was carrying the cabinet, spoke, "It's okay if we don't get on the boat, but this cabinet must be on board." ”

"When do you still care about a cabinet, isn't life as important as this cabinet?" Zhou Xin was a little anxious.

"This is the order of His Excellency the Dean, and I am just following his orders." The researcher replied with a blank face, seemingly unconcerned about his own life and death. Zhou Xin reprimanded a few more words, but they didn't respond to Zhou Xin's rebuke at all, still carrying the cabinet and following the team, seeing that they were about to enter the construction ship, the angry Zhou Xin had to let the robot stop them first, and then contacted Prit.

Prit, who received the contact, looked dazed, "Aren't you supposed to be preparing to retreat?" What is the matter with contacting me? ”

"What the hell do you think?" Zhou Xin's tone was obviously dissatisfied, "Didn't you just tell you not to bring any equipment before, what's going on with that cabinet?" ”

"Oh, you're talking about the cabinet." Under Zhou Xin's reminder, Plitt finally understood, "That's not a device, it's much more important than a device." ”

"So what's in the cupboard?" Zhou Xin asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Pryt never said anything about what's in the cupboard.

"What the hell is it that deserves to be protected like this?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Just take that cabinet away, it's good for you."

Seeing that Pratt insisted that Zhou Xin bring the cabinet, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and had no choice but to reluctantly order Chang'e, "Let them move the cabinet up, by the way, the robots don't come back, you can bring back their cores, you can take a few more." ”

After solving this trouble, Zhou Xin's eyes returned to Prit, and it was only then that he realized that Prit seemed to be still staying in the base.

"Why didn't you go along? What are you still doing in the base? Zhou Xin asked with concern.

"I'm old." "For me, there's not much time left, and since you have limited space, let's give the opportunity to those young people." ”

"But—" Zhou Xin was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Prit, "I've already decided, so don't persuade me, think about how to retreat later." ”

"But they still need a leader." Zhou Xin still opened his mouth to persuade.

"With Dart, they've had enough." Perrit said, "In fact, he has already dealt with the affairs of the base in the past few years, and I, an old man, can't give them much help, and it is a waste of space to go with you." Okay, so be it, you don't want to waste time here either. Without waiting for Zhou Xin to answer, Prit unilaterally ended the correspondence.

Zhou Xin sighed heavily, he understood very well that Prit chose to stay in the base, but he still felt a little lost in his understanding, but thinking that there were still many things to deal with next, he had to force himself to lift his spirits and turn his attention to the retreat of the Atlanteans.

It didn't take long for the two engineering ships to reach full load, but outside the engineering ships, there were still a dozen Atlanteans standing on the ground waiting to retreat, and they had a look of disappointment in their eyes when they heard the news of the full load. However, they didn't do anything drastic, just silently turned around and wanted to go back to the base.

Seeing this situation, Zhou was ruthless, and then made a decision. As he called back the men, he instructed Chang'e to remove unnecessary parts from the ship, and after ten minutes, Chang'e dismantled and discarded some of the seats and workbenches, and the ship was finally able to take off with the remaining dozen Atlanteans.

However, on the way back from the No. 1 and No. 2 engineering ships, the anomaly happened again.

The first to spot the anomaly was Spred, "Look, the spatial anomaly has reappeared. He suddenly shouted.

"What's the situation?" Zhou Xin hurriedly turned his head to the screen showing the battleship, and then he saw a magical scene.

After not observing the battleship for such a long time, its figure visibly grew larger on the screen, from the size of a marble to the size of a ping-pong ball. But this time, Zhou Xin saw that the shape of the battleship on the screen was obviously not a perfect circle, and its periphery began to become distorted, and after a while, this distortion became more and more obvious, and the entire battleship even changed from a spherical shape to a whirlpool.

Looking at the twisted battleship, Zhou Xin was surprised, "What are they going to do, won't they have to jump in hyperspace." ”

Zhou Xin was not wrong, as soon as his words fell, the battleship disappeared from the Voyager's field of vision, and after a while, even the distorted space returned to calm, as if the battleship had never appeared.

"Didn't you start moving towards here? Why did they leave all of a sudden? Zhou Xin muttered to himself suspiciously, "Could it be that it's just a false alarm?" They didn't notice us, they were just passing by? ”

"That's great." Spred breathed a sigh of relief beside him, "I was really nervous enough just now to be able to beat the Atlanteans to the escape civilization, and suddenly appeared in front of us like this, if they really flew near us, I don't know how to deal with it." ”

"There's always a way to deal with it here." Zhou Xin said, but he was also a little lucky, "But it's best for them to leave on their own, otherwise it will be really difficult for us to face them directly." After saying that, he remembered something, "I need to hurry up and inform Prit of the situation, and let the engineering ship send the Atlanteans back." ”

However, before Zhou Xin could contact Prit, the accident happened again. Since everyone's attention was focused on the screen at this time, everyone noticed the moment the anomaly appeared.

Not far above the frozen planet, space began to distort, just like the reversal of the battleship when it disappeared just now, and after a while, the spherical battleship appeared completely near the planet, and the atmosphere in the command cabin became tense again.

Just when the space distortion appeared, Zhou Xin immediately reacted to what would happen next, and he hurriedly ordered, "Let the engineering ship speed up and return, it seems that the worst is about to happen." ”

Then, Zhou Xin urgently contacted Prit, "The development of things has exceeded my expectations, the other party jumped directly to the vicinity of the planet through hyperspace jumping, and we have no time." ”

"Did the engineering ship that transported our people return to the ship?" Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Prit did not panic, he asked with a frown.

Zhou Xin glanced at the command platform and replied, "Not yet, there are about ten minutes before they can land." ”

"You listen carefully to what I am going to say, start the spacecraft now, get everything ready, in fifteen minutes there will be a hyperspace jump, and I will send you the coordinates of the space gate in a while." After a mental estimate, Prit uttered something that shocked everyone......
