Chapter 664: The Ark of Life (Part I)

Even in the early years of the new calendar, the Federation swept through the Changping Star Field, the Winter Curtain Star Field, the Jugu Star Field, and the Kemia Star Field, and captured and successfully controlled the E0 Star Gate, and created the "Silver Wing Southern Star Domain Federation". They still failed to arrange a trip to and from the Earth Star.

If the E0 gate is so dangerous, how good can the Z0 gate be?

Well, I have to say, in fact, Z0 and E0 are really not the same thing. It's not that it's any better, it's much better, and there is no danger from nature at all.

......

After entering the Star Gate, the rivals who had been fighting around KW13 all dissipated into the wormhole. The moment it entered the stargate, all the electronic equipment of the "Black Tiger" starship failed, and all the electrical equipment of the spacecraft failed, except for the life support system that can be used as a backup energy source for the spacecraft. There was no light on the entire starship, except for the dim green safety lights that were still glowing. Aside from the endless darkness that seemed to be death, there were only beams of meteor-like light flowing back and forth.

These beams of light look brilliant and bizarre. But in fact, if you watch it for a long time, it feels very depressing. In particular, when the people on the "Black Tiger" lacked medical care, medicine, food and drink, and watched for twenty or thirty days, this oppressive atmosphere was about to turn into an unbreakable fog, drowning everyone.

There were 37 seriously wounded in the Uturs and 7 seriously wounded in the 3rd team. Even if you count the puppet Ralph, there are only three medical personnel on the entire ship, and there are few medical facilities. Almost every day of these twenty or thirty days was attritional, and every day someone died. At most, four died at a time.

In the end, only 11 of the 44 seriously injured survived. 7 belong to Utur and 4 belong to team 3.

These deaths have added to the atmosphere of grief and fear. In the beginning, everyone was largely immersed in some kind of apprehension and fear. I am especially afraid of what kind of danger will be in this inexplicable ultra-long-distance stargate. So much so that everyone hid like rats in the rest cabin below the deck as much as possible and did not come out. After all, they have all heard of the E0 stargate as weird and terrifying as the old calendar "Bermuda", and it is inevitable that they are afraid of the Z0 stargate that has just appeared.

Slowly, this fear fades and is replaced by another. That's supply. Most of them dragged their emaciated and weak bodies from hunger and thirst to the deck, and sat on the side of the ship, on the guardrails, in the "smashing cabin" from You and Yao Jingtian, on the legs of the "Barge II" mecha, and on the mechanical arms. They sat silently, looking at each other, and very few people spoke.

Although Tang Yun passed on the message from Sibo, he vaguely explained that the distance between the side of the stargate and the planet suitable for human survival, that is, the Eri Star, is not far from the stargate, and it is only a two-month trip at most. But most people don't believe that. Embarrassingly, even Sbo himself is not sure about this.

After all, Z0 is a moving stargate that wanders everywhere, and hundreds of years ago, when he was on Irex, he determined that the entrance to this stargate was relatively stable, and it basically only wandered within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. But who knows if it will change position in hundreds of years?

Of course, none of these are the most headaches. The most troublesome thing is that not to mention two months, the supplies on the starship were almost exhausted seven or eight days ago. Now everyone is rationed with food and water. Each person has only about 50 milliliters of fresh water and a minimum 30-gram compressed protein bar for the whole day.

In the vicinity of KW13, due to the damage to the power compartment, the "Black Tiger" was overloaded due to insufficient power. In order to maintain their speed, the Uturs threw almost everything they could to drop the starship. Not only the turrets and ammunition, but also the supplies that Tang Yun had hoarded a large number of instant noodles, canned food, and compressed biscuits. The most pitiful thing is that Lan Mao unscrewed the valve and threw away a large amount of drinking water.

Strictly speaking, the Black Tiger is not a starship at all, but a slightly larger landing ship. All at once, a hundred and ten people came up, asking for food and drink, and it was a miracle that they were able to hold on to this level until now.

Everyone began to fall into despair, and the fear of dying and starving in the vast star field was everywhere. Team 3 and Liu Ze are okay, those Uturs are young after all, they have not experienced strong winds and waves, and in the three days from the 22nd to the 25th day, people committed suicide one after another, two people died, and Tang Yun saved one.

I have to say that this is a very tragic story.

......

Tang Yun felt that everything was his fault, if he hadn't gone crazy and had to kill Xu Zheng, he would definitely not have gotten things to this point. To put it bluntly, isn't this mission just to pretend and take a few photos to ask for credit from the Uturs? It turned out to be like this for some reason...... More than 100 people died inside and out, that's more than 100 people!

The more I think about it, the more I feel stupid, I feel sorry for everyone, and I feel that the whole thing should be borne by myself. How could Tang Yun still have the face to see Utur, what kind of face did he have to face the 3 teams of men who accompanied him from birth to death, and were disabled as a result.

In the past twenty days, Tang Yun has only locked himself in the cockpit of the "Barge Beast II" most of the time. If it weren't for another Utur attempting suicide, he wouldn't have come out today.

The puppet Ralph and Bu Peng took Tang Yun to the bottom of the starship, the "Black Tiger" is a small landing ship, with only two cryogenic dormant cabins, which are probably only used to transport "experimental samples" for the apocalypse.

Tang Yun saw very clearly that the current low-temperature dormant cabin was an illegal operation, and there were two people squeezed in each cabin. Specifically, there were two seriously injured Utur and two seriously injured 3 teams of mercenaries.

"They...... And saved? Can a seriously injured patient enter the sleep pod? Tang Yun was a little puzzled. Bu Peng didn't speak, it was the puppet Ralph who spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and Tang Yun didn't hear whose "face" he used for a while.

"They're dead."

"If you're dead, 'dispose of' it, why ......?"

Bu Peng lowered his head and added, "We're almost exhausted of supplies, so ...... They can...... Let the living brothers continue to live. "The voice is unpleasantly low.

"You mean to ...... To eat...... Eat them? ”

"I heard that Tang Yun also crawled out of the pile of dead people, you should understand, right? After all, it's more important to be alive, isn't it? ”

......
