Chapter XXVII
"Why are most of these suicides Atlanteans?"
Guresta glanced at Dart, who was a little pale, and then replied, "Although the specific cause is not yet certain, it is from what I have observed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" He then glanced at the only living Atlantean of the seven behind him, "All Atlanteans always have an inexplicable sense of fear when faced with matters related to spherical warships, and it is obvious that this fear comes from deep within them. When it comes to spherical battleships, they always seem to lose their minds, as if they have seen the devil. After a pause, he continued, "Our attitude is different by comparison, and I think they're a -- uh -- more formidable enemy at best." Although the spherical battleships that appear in the sky from time to time put a lot of pressure on us, I don't think we have a chance to escape at all. After Guresta finished speaking, several Thunder Star people walking behind him nodded at the same time, agreeing with his opinion.
After listening to Grisesta's introduction, everyone turned their attention to Dart. He was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I guess I can probably guess why." After a moment's hesitation, he said, "If my judgment is not wrong, I'm afraid there should be something wrong with education." Sighing again, Dart explained at length, "Actually, not only Christy's generation, but also her mother, my generation, and even my father's generation, were told from an early age how powerful the enemies we had ever encountered were. In retrospect, there are indeed a lot of exaggerations in the admonitions of the older generation, and the purpose is probably to keep future generations from being careless and always vigilant. But I didn't expect that it was these parts that had the opposite effect on us now. ā
"I see." Zhou Xin nodded and said slowly, "This practice is actually not wrong when you live in the base. After all, no matter who you are, living in a relatively comfortable environment for a long time will always subconsciously slack off. In order to slow down the emergence of such emotions, a certain degree of exaggeration of a possible crisis can be a very effective means. As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "But this is only on the premise that you don't encounter an enemy. ā
At this time, Spred continued: "But if you really encounter those enemies that you often heard about when you were a child in reality, this exaggeration will be counterproductive." Too strong a sense of crisis can cause great stress on those people mentally, and in severe cases, they may even lose their minds. ā
"Actually, I just put myself in my shoes and thought about what I would do if I were the one who stayed on the Green Star." After a long pause, he said with some heaviness, "If there are other people around me, I'm afraid I can barely hold on and find a glimmer of life with the people around me." But if I'm the only one left. Speaking of this, his gaze turned to the screen again, "I'm afraid my choice in the first place will be the same as theirs." ā
Hearing this, both sides of the communication fell silent. After a while, Zhou Xin said: "Since the cause has been found, let's find a way to solve it." Now that tragedy has already happened before us, I don't want the same tragedy to happen again in the future. ā
"I see." "It seems that it is time to change our education for the next generation." ā
At the same time, Guresta and his party have also successfully arrived at the rescue spacecraft. Of course, the spacecraft can't leave Green Star for the time being, and it still needs to wait for the search results from other directions. Letting the still somewhat frightened Guresta and his party rest in the rescue spaceship, Zhou Xin turned their attention to the overall search work.
In the time it had been in the past, the scattered probes had finally found some survivors. However, there were not many of them, including Gusta's group, and there were only twenty-three people in total. In addition, after Spred's suggestion to send the signal and keep the rescue ship in the air, a few people followed the instructions to find the nearest rescue ship themselves. However, what they heard was not all good news, and the bodies of more survivors were also found during the search of the probe. Of these, with the exception of a few apparently due to accidents that occurred during the escape, the cause of death for the majority was suicide. And, similar to the situation of Team Gusta, the vast majority of suicides were Atlanteans.
In the footage sent back by the probe, Zhou Xin noticed the most tragic scene. On the screen, five Atlanteans sit in the middle of the frame. But unfortunately, now they seem to be in normal shape and have long lost their vitality. The hose that turned on the pressurization device hung limply behind everyone like a snake. Soon, Zhou Xin found a small communicator in the middle of the ground where the five people were sitting. What's more, there are still staccato sounds coming from the communicator at this time.
"Here--Zizi--Rescue Spacecraft--We-Zizi-Arrival--Green Star Surface--Message Received--Zizi--Crew of Zi-Attention--Sky--Zizi--Guidance of the Spaceship--Near-Zizi--Retreat Route-As Soon as Possible--Zizi--Rendezvous."
Suddenly, Zhou Xin and the others fell silent, and everyone silently looked at the picture on the screen, only the intermittent broadcast sound from the rescue spacecraft was still echoing in the command module.
"They didn't make it to the time they received the message." Zhou Xin said regretfully. Then he turned off the detector footage, which was no longer in the mood for him to continue.
Two hours is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Not long after Zhou Xin turned off the screen, there was not much time left before the two hours set before.
"Brother Captain, there are still ten minutes left before the scheduled time." At this time, Atlas's voice broke the oppressive atmosphere in the command module, "So far, our rescue team has found eighty-three people on the surface of the Green Star, of which forty-four are dead, the rest are survivors, and in addition, there are still thirty-four crew members missing. Brother Captain, do we need to continue our search? ā
Hearing this question, Zhou Xin showed a hesitant look on his face. As if guessing his thoughts, Spred asked for him, "How dangerous will it be if we continue to stay here...... ā
