Chapter 112: The Last Survivor

Nearly half a day passed, and the time came to noon, and after chatting for so long, Zhou Xin noticed that Jeno's face had shown an obvious tired look. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Okay, I see you're tired too, let's talk about it here today." After finishing a topic, Zhou Xin said, "Have a good rest, and when you recover, we will have time to talk again." ”

"That's all it can be." Jeno's tone was a little helpless, although he really wanted to continue chatting, but his current physical condition did make him feel a little powerless, after saying this, he asked Zhou Xin again, "I really hope you can lend a hand to us, we will be very grateful to you." ”

"I'll think about it." Zhou Xin still didn't give an accurate answer, and after saying this, he told the medical robot to take good care of Jeno and left here.

After lunch, Zhou Xin returned to the command module, Dart did not appear here today, only Spred was doing a routine check on the status of the Voyager in place of Zhou Xin. Seeing Zhou Xin walk in, Spred asked casually while staring at the screen, "Did you go to find Jeno?" What did you talk about? ”

"Jeno has asked us for help." Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Spred didn't feel very strange, and then, Zhou Xin told Spred about the content of the previous chat.

After listening to Zhou's account, Spred asked, "Since that's the case, what is your decision?" ”

"I didn't promise him for the time being." Zhou Xin replied, "Although I think it is much more reliable to communicate with that base than with two civilizations on the planet, I am still a little worried about whether this exchange will cause any bad results. ”

Spred nodded, "What's even more worrying is that if Jano alone can represent the entire base, what if we respond to his request and send a contact request to the base." Of course, it's nothing to be rejected alone, and what I'm most afraid of is that it would be terrible if we couldn't communicate with the base and were exposed to the vision of two civilizations on the planet. After all, we don't have any effective means of self-protection now, although we should still go, but it is not good for us to set off now. ”

"Well, I also don't think it's time to leave." Zhou Xin agreed, and then he said his thoughts, "But I think communication is still necessary." Our own investigation alone is certainly not as fast as getting information directly from the other side. ”

"The exchange is definitely going to happen." Spred replied without thinking, "But the time is not ripe yet." Although we are now almost complete in our investigation of the base itself, the members of the base do not know enough, especially what the leaders think. In fact, what I want to know now is, what is the purpose of their settlement under the satellite? Is it just to live and work in peace, or if we have any thoughts about the two civilizations on the planet, if they have any thoughts about those two civilizations, or even want to kill them, then we should not contact them. ”

"It's not going to be." Zhou Xin said disapprerovingly, "With the current level of science and technology of that base, it is still very early to catch up with the two civilizations on the planet." ”

"But it would be different if we helped." Spred answered.

"That's right." Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then asked, "Atlas, the probe has also been investigating on the satellite base for a long time. In the past few days of investigation, what do you think is the attitude of the people in the base towards the two civilizations on the planet? ”

"How so?" Atlas pondered for a few seconds, "While the probe has indeed heard a lot of conversations from a lot of people in the base these days, they don't often mention things from the past in the conversation. On the contrary, they talk more about their current life, at least most people are still satisfied with their current life. Even if you hear some complaints from time to time, it's just complaining that you have too little to do on a regular basis. ”

"When they talk about their past, what is their attitude, whether they are hostile to their country of origin, or to the enemies of the country where they used to be?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Not really." The little girl shook her head, "When they mention their past, their tones are relatively flat, at most with some regrets. As for the perception of another civilization, those people in the base didn't see any barriers when they communicated, but they were still a little angry when they mentioned what the previous hostile civilization had done. ”

"In other words, they are still dissatisfied with the civilization on the planet that was once hostile to them." Zhou Xin concluded thoughtfully, "But this is just human nature, and I can't tell if they want to deal with the two civilizations on the planet." ”

"It's hard to say, sometimes anger can turn into hatred." "Maybe it's just because the base isn't strong enough that they can only express it emotionally and can't actually take action, or maybe it's because the members of the two civilizations in the base are holding each other in check with each other that has led to the current situation." ”

"Don't think about the worst." Zhou Xin said, "Maybe they are just venting their feelings, after all, the battle between the two sides has been going on for so long, even if there is no hatred, at least it will be affected by the war, and it is nothing to express anger towards the other party." Atlas, in the course of the investigation, what do the people in the base think about the two civilizations on the planet, I mean do they have any thoughts of occupation or attack, or anything like that. ”

The little girl recalled, "Not really, they just complained a little and moved on to other topics, no one wants to take revenge on any civilization on the planet." ”

"I understand, it seems that for the two civilizations on the planet, there are still most complaining elements in the base." After saying this, Zhou Xin thought for a long time before he spoke, "It seems that it is still feasible to communicate with them." ”

"Let's investigate it for a while." Spred suggested, "We don't know if we would cause any unnecessary misunderstanding if we took the initiative to contact that base, and since we have a Jeno on our ship, why not let him be the liaison between us when his injuries are healed." ”

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded, "Okay, then this matter is decided, and I will go and tell Jeno the news in a while." ”

"Brother Captain, I have news for you here." Seeing that Zhou Xin had already made a decision, Atlas opened his mouth to bring up another matter.

"What's the news?" Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"After the probe's tracking and investigation in the past few days, the food in that space city has been consumed, and some of the survivors in it have begun to die as a result."

Hearing this, there was silence in the command module, and after a while, Zhou Xin asked, "How many people are left in the Space City?" ”

"In the beginning, it was about a thousand." Atlas replied, "Then the spaceship from the base picked up nearly two hundred people, and in the past few days, more than a hundred have starved to death, and now there should be less than seven hundred people inside." ”

Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought, as if he could see what he was thinking, and Spred spoke: "You still don't want to save these people anymore, now the ecosystem on our spaceship can no longer support the increase of so many people." ”

Hearing Spred's words, Zhou Xin had a regretful expression on his face, just now he was really thinking about the question Spred said.

"You can't save everybody." Seeing that Zhou Xin's face was a little unpleasant, Spred persuaded, "Moreover, didn't you help them contact the base on the satellite before, but they themselves didn't seize the last chance." Moreover, the space city of Nuoda has a monitor of the Ewen Empire in some unknown places, what if we are discovered by the other party after we come forward. Didn't you see that the rescue ships at the previous base only dared to call on the periphery of the space city, but did not enter the space city to search? ”

"I understand." Zhou Xin nodded, "It's just that I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

"You're just so kind." For this, Spred can't blame anything, after all, he survived because of Zhou Xin's kindness.

After all, so many people were sentenced to death in one sentence, and Zhou Xin's heart was still very uncomfortable. However, he also knew in his heart that now, or in the current state of the Voyager, he was no longer capable of saving these people, and he was depressed for a while, but he finally did not mention those people again, and he even did not let Atlas release the image of the space city at all, for fear that he would make some unwise decision after seeing their tragic situation, and even harm the whole ship.

At this point, it can be said that all the people in the entire space city, except for the less than 200 people rescued by the Kazlan-Eun community, nearly 700 survivors in the space city, and the three people on the Voyager, all died. And if there is no miracle, the 700 survivors will eventually die. In the end, there were less than two hundred survivors left in the originally prosperous Space City, which is not sad.

Forced by the situation to make such a decision, Zhou Xin was not in a very good mood for the rest of the afternoon, and even made mistakes when dealing with daily reports. After going on like this for a long time, he decided to put down the report in his hand and go out to change his mood. Standing at the door of the command cabin and thinking for a while, Zhou Xin still decided to go to the medical cabin first.

When he came to the door of the medical cabin, he noticed that Jeno, who had been lying in the hospital bed for an afternoon, seemed to be in a much better spirit, and after hesitating, he pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Zhou Xin who entered the door, Jeno was a little excited, "You come to me now, have you already made a decision?" ”

"Pretty much." Zhou Xin nodded, and then told him the results of the discussion with Spred at noon.

"I'd love to be this liaison." After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Jeno seemed very happy, and then he couldn't wait to urge, "If you can, I think you can contact the people in the base now." ”

"Don't worry, wait until your injuries are healed." Zhou Xin said, "And before contacting, we also have to make some preparations." He didn't tell him that he was still investigating the base, but made an excuse.

"Can you not be in a hurry?" Jeno said excitedly, "After all, not many people are as lucky as us to be able to receive the help of aliens. Also, if you don't contact the base sooner, what if you leave suddenly? ”

"We're not going to leave yet." Zhou Xin replied casually, and when he saw Jeno on the hospital bed with an excited face, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered that although he belonged to the community, he had also worked in Space City for so long before, and he had married a wife and had children on it. Of course, according to him, their family, apart from himself, his wife and a pair of children, knew nothing about their true identity. His wife had met him in his second year from the base to Space City, and he had felt a little guilty about hiding his identity from them.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xin still spoke: "Although I don't really want to spoil your current mood, I still want to tell you bad news." ”

Slightly stunned, Jeno calmed down a little, "If there's any bad news, just say it." ”

"It's related to the space city you've been working for a long time." At the mention of this, Zhou Xin's mood became very heavy again, and then he briefed Jeno on the current situation in Space City.

As Zhou Xin narrated, not only Jeno, but also Aina, who was beside him, became worse and worse. In the end, both of them had sad looks on their faces, and tears even welled up in the corners of Aina's eyes.

"Is there really no way to save them?" Hearing that there were still some survivors left in Space City, the little girl pleaded.

Zhou Xin's face showed a look of embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to save them, it's that the spaceship can no longer accommodate so many people." ”

"Aina, forget it." Instead, Jeno opened his mouth and persuaded, "From the fact that the captain can reach out to us, we can know that if we can save him, we will definitely save him, so don't force him." However, it was still clear from the tone of his voice that after working in Space City for so long, he already had a lot of affection for it.

Hearing her father's words, the little girl's face showed a look of frustration, and then she suddenly remembered, "By the way, Uncle Captain said, Dad, didn't the community you belong to go to the rescue once?" Can you get them to send another spaceship to save the rest of the people......? ”
