Chapter Twenty-Six: The Visiting Thunderers

"Of course. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Spred said.

"By the way," Zhou Xin continued, "the cabin prepared for you is ready, you can send some people up to take a look first, so that you can also calm the hearts of the people." ”

"This is the best news I've heard in the last few days." Spred smiled slightly, "After this incident, everyone in the base is a little depressed, I was thinking of doing something to boost the morale, this request of yours is really timely, I will pick someone tomorrow." ”

"Okay, you can follow the supply ship on the return trip tomorrow, and Chang'e will take care of bringing you up."

The next day, Zhou Xin was in the power room to routinely check the condition of the engine. At this time, Chang'e came with the news that she was about to arrive at the Voyager with the people from the Kilo base. Zhou Xin immediately put down what he was doing and went to the dock where the engineering ship was parked, where the first guests from the Kilo base were about to arrive at the Voyager.

After staying on the dock console for a while, Zhou Xin heard the signal requesting landing, and after a series of necessary landing procedures, the dock gate opened, and an engineering ship of about 20 meters slowly flew in through the gate entrance. After the construction ship came to a stop, the gate was closed, and then Zhou Xin heard the hissing of the air-lock room inflating.

At the same time as the hissing sounded, Zhou Xin left the console and walked towards the cabin where the ship was parked, and waited at the door of the cabin for a while, the "inflated" green light on the door lit up, and then Zhou Xin opened the door of the cabin.

After opening the door of the cabin, Zhou Xin saw that the door of the engineering ship slowly opened from the top, and after a while, the door was completely opened, forming a ramp of access on the ground.

After a while, a tall figure appeared on the slope, and after the tall figure walked out of the doorway, a row of short figures followed by him. Zhou Xin walked closer and saw that the leader was indeed Chang'e, and behind her was a Lei Xingren wearing the same protective suit. The group of thunder people came here for the first time, and now they were looking left and right curiously, since they were still wearing bulky protective suits, this action seemed very funny to Zhou Xin.

Walking in front of Chang'e, Zhou Xin didn't have time to listen to her report, and a familiar voice came from the dwarf behind Chang'e.

"Zhou Xin Zhou Xin, I'm here! Where's that cute little one? The owner of the voice came out of the crowd and grabbed Zhou Xin's hand and asked.

"Ralph?" Zhou Xin asked with a little surprise, "Why didn't you help your dad work?" And so it came down? ”

"Isn't this just helping my dad." Ralph said proudly, "I'm the leader of this group, and they all have to listen to me." ”

"I think the main purpose of your coming here is to see Xiaobai." Zhou Xin saw through her intentions at a glance.

"Haha--by the way, by the way." Ralph smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, since you're here, you're all guests, so I'll take you to the cabin prepared for you first. Don't be restrained, relax, know that we will be living in the same ship from now on, you are so nervous and I am under a lot of pressure, you see Ralph is never polite to me. Zhou Xin joked at the crowd behind him, and since they saw Zhou Xin, they all stopped looking around and focused their eyes on Zhou Xin. Through the helmet, Zhou Xin saw that they looked very nervous, thinking that it was the first time he saw Zhou Xin, so Zhou Xin wanted to relax their mood.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Captain is a good man." Ralph continued.

"I said, don't call me uncle." Zhou Xin's face was black.

"Your Excellency, Captain." Then one of the men in the group spoke.

Zhou Xin turned his head to look at the man.

"Are youβ€”Are you sure you're going to help us? Isn't it really taking advantage of us? But, I've heard some people say that you have a conspiracy against us. The man hesitated for a moment, but asked the question

Zhou Xin did not answer his question, but turned his questioning gaze to Ralph.

"It was my father's idea." Ralph whispered, "These are the people who have been affected by the rumors of Guresta, and my father wants to use this operation to change their minds. Moreover, the news transmitted by these opposition parties is more credible, isn't it? Ralph was a little embarrassed, "That's what my father told me. ”

Zhou Xin said with a headache: "Your father will really make trouble for me." ”

Ralph didn't answer, just laughed awkwardly there.

"Well, since I'm here, let me solve this problem." Zhou Xin patted his head helplessly. Then, he said to the crowd: "Believe it or not, I have no conspiracy, in fact, to be precise, I have made a deal with your director. ”

Seeing that they were all listening carefully to their own words, Zhou Xin continued: "The content of the transaction is that the base will hand over the warp engine to me, and in exchange, I will leave here with the people from the base. Seeing that they still had a skeptical look, Zhou Xin said helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to say more, you'll know later." Next, you should feel my sincerity for yourselves and come with me. ”

Then, Zhou Xin led them towards the prepared cabin, and on the way there, Zhou Xin was still introducing them to the cabins they passed along the way.

Zhou Xin pointed to a hatch and said to them: "This is the No. 1 ecological cabin, which grows the food crops needed by this ship. ”

After walking for a while, they passed by another hatch, "This is the second eco-cabin, but this cabin was damaged in an accident, so it is temporarily deactivated." ”

"This is the third eco-cabin, which grows crops such as fruits and vegetables." ……

At the same time as Zhou Xin's introduction, the Lei Xing people were also observing the places they walked through, and at the same time listening carefully to Zhou Xin's introduction, although the things on the earth were different from the things they were in contact with on a daily basis, but they were now very curious about everything on this ship, and from time to time someone would stop and knock in some places, and Zhou Xin didn't care about their small movements, but just stopped and waited for them from time to time.

Walking past several eco-cabins and the normal crew lounge, Zhou Xin led them to a closed door.

"Ahead is the living quarters for you, and behind this door is an air-lock room. Since the environment inside is not suitable for me, Chang'e will take you in first, and I will go in with a change of outfit. With that, Zhou Xin opened the door of the air-lock.

After Zhou Xin changed into protective clothing and entered the cabin specially prepared for them, Zhou Xin saw that those dwarves had taken off their protective clothing, looked curiously in the cabin, and picked up something from time to time to look through it. When they saw Zhou Xin come in, they neatly put down the things in their hands and looked at him a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xin said embarrassedly: "You guys are casual, casual, don't worry about me, I just want to ask if you are still used to the environment here and the things I prepared for you?" ”

"Is this something you made just for us?" One of the researchers couldn't hold back, and asked curiously, "The environment here is similar to the base, I think it's pretty good." As he spoke, he picked up a small cup, "This size of daily necessities is just right for us, you really have a heart." ”

"Of course, the environment of this cabin is set up according to the environment of your base. As for these thingsβ€”" Zhou Xin said awkwardly, "we haven't had so much time to design daily necessities for you, these things we found from other abandoned underground facilities before, and now they just come in handy." ”

"Other underground facilities?" At this time, several people reacted, "Are there any survivors?" One of them asked.

"Didn't Spred tell you this?" Zhou Xin asked.

"The director only told us that you would take us out of here, and then tell us to overhaul the engine as soon as possible, and he didn't say anything else." One of the researchers replied.

"Looks like he's in a hurry to get out of here, so he's only told you what's important. Forget it, you'll have to know sooner or later anyway, and it's okay to tell you now. Zhou Xin's mood was a little heavy, and every time he mentioned the matter of the shelter, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhou Xin asked Chang'e to tell them in detail what they had investigated elsewhere.

After listening to Chang'e's account, the researchers fell silent, and the silence lasted for a while, and one of the researchers asked, "So - our base is the only survivor left?" ”

"At least so far, we haven't found any other survivors." Zhou Xin replied.

The silence continued for a while, and Zhou Xin heard several female researchers sobbing in low voices.

Sighing, Zhou Xin said: "It seems that Spred is right not to tell you the truth, but at least you are lucky, and I hope that you can continue your civilization by you." ”

"We will." Ralph next to him said.

"Alright." Zhou Xin comforted, "Since the disasters have happened, you can only face the reality, and then you just need to look forward, don't be too sad." Spred's sending you to the ship is also meant to give you a vacation, and you can enjoy your life for the next few days. ”

The female researchers also stopped crying, and after a while, one of them timidly asked, "Is there anything on the ship that we need help with right now?" ”

"As I said, you will be considered a vacation these days, and there is no work on the ship that you need your help with for the time being."

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, you're just having fun on the ship these days, and when you get back to the base, just tell the others what you've seen here, and that's the special work you've been giving you these days." Zhou Xin said, "Of course, don't talk about the fact that you are the only remaining people of civilization, and we will talk about this matter later." Okay, if you don't have anything to do now, just disband, if you want to go out and about, remember to wear protective clothing, if you need help, just use the communicator to call the robot, and you can go directly to most places in the ship, except for the door with a red glow. Zhou Xin explained to them the details of his activities on the ship. When Zhou Xin was about to turn around and leave after explaining, Ralph grabbed his hand.

"Don't go, you haven't taken me to see that little guy yet." Ralph said as he dragged Zhou Xin.

"......" Zhou Xin said helplessly, "You are still thinking about Xiaobai." ”

"Nonsense, how can you miss something so cute."

"Okay, put on your protective suit and come with me."

Zhou Xin took off his protective suit and left the special cabin, and after waiting at the door for a while, he saw a dwarf wearing a protective suit come out. As soon as the man came out, he grabbed Zhou Xin.

"Take me, take me"

Zhou Xin took her to the No. 3 ecological cabin, and Xiaobai was playing in the No. 3 ecological cabin today. Zhou Xin looked around for a while, and under the prompting of the robot, Zhou Xin found Xiaobai who was sleeping comfortably in a tree hole.

As soon as he saw Xiaobai, Ralph screamed in surprise and reached into the hollow of the tree. Hearing the scream, Xiao Bai, who was sleeping comfortably just now, had the hair on his body stand up. It screamed, and swooped out of the hole in the tree, and before it could come back to its senses, it saw a strange big hand grabbing it in front of it, and he deftly dodged it, and then it saw Zhou Xin standing next to the tree, and it hurriedly ran to Zhou Xin's shoulder.

"It's so cute and cute." Ralph jumped up and down, trying to grab Xiaobai from Zhou Xin's shoulder.

"Be quiet." Zhou Xin had a little headache, "Although Xiaobai is not afraid of life, but you will scare it if you are so startled." ”

"Oh-" Ralph quieted down, but she still stared at Xiaobai on Zhou Xin's shoulder.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Xin took Xiaobai from his shoulder and held it in his hand, "Xiaobai, this is Ralph, the alien you saw on the communicator some time ago, come, get to know me." ”

"Whew-" Xiaobai shouted at Ralph.

"Eh-" It actually understood human speech, and when it saw Xiaobai's reaction, Ralph asked in surprise, and it said to Xiaobai, "I'm Ralph, your name is Xiaobai, it's nice to meet you, you're so cute." ”

"Chirp-" Xiaobai greeted weakly.

"Don't do that, I like you very much." Ralph said to Xiaobai, and then she asked Zhou Xin, "Can I touch it?" ”

"It's up to it to decide if it's willing to do it or not." Zhou Xin replied helplessly.

"Little white girl, let me touch it." Ralph's voice was tinged with pampering. Then, he reached out and touched Xiaobai in Zhou Xin's hand.

"Don't worry, she has no ill intentions." Zhou Xin also said to Xiaobai.

"Chirp-" Xiaobai screamed, jumping from Zhou Xin's hand to Ralph's hand, after jumping onto Ralph's hand, it also sniffed on Ralph's glove, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so it lay down and continued to sleep in his cage.

"It's so cute!" Ralph couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and after stroking Xiaobai for a while, she looked up at Zhou Xin, "What does Xiaobai like to eat?" Can I keep it for a few days? ……”
