Volume 2 Starship Beauty and Flowers Chapter 22 Anchor
The shuttle moved crookedly in the sky, almost leaping over several wide uninhabited areas of the New South Star, and finally began to gradually approach the ground under the descent function allowed by the body.
The terrain analyzer on the shuttle is constantly changing, and the landing system has failed, that is, the shuttle simply cannot land properly, so at the moment of forced landing, it is inevitable that there will be an impact. They are flying on the surface of the planet, in the continuous descent, Xia Ying is also looking for the best landing, if there is a zone such as an ocean or a lake, it is naturally the best place to make a forced landing, and there is really no water surface, then the sand can barely cope.
However, most of the new South Star is desert and weathered rock surface, drought and dryness constitute the only landform here, most of the place is either tall rock peaks or concave and convex rocky ground, it is really impossible to find the best landing place, and the engine can no longer hold on, the body that can no longer be pulled up is descending at a gentle gliding speed, and when it faces the moment of stalling, it is the time to land.
Lin Hai and the others in the shuttle did not have any choice. I could only watch Xia Ying's long eyelashes staring intently at the surface in front of the glass barrier, Cāo controlled the plane, and the slender figure that controlled the lives of everyone in the cabin at this time was tantamount to a goddess in the eyes of everyone. It even makes people have a strange thought, if the plane crashes like this, it seems that dying with her is also a thing that has no regrets in this life.
Of course, until the last moment, no one wants to die lightly. When the shuttle descended and everyone was amazed, through the porthole, Lin Hai and the others saw a dense area of metal mixed with sandstone. It's like those sandy and weathered rock formations, where countless metals "grow" out of thin air. Some shiny metal, even pulled up hundreds of meters towards the sky. The light of the stars is like a giant scythe on the horizon.
Naturally, it is impossible for metal to grow out of the soil on its own, and when everyone approached the sky, Warren, Jimmy and others had already exclaimed, "It's a planetary graveyard!"
Planetary Graveyard, a remnant of the Empire's border wars. Dating back centuries ago, the Frontier Wars were fought when many starships crashed here. ruined miè here the town. So the metal down here is the wreckage of countless ships, of course, there was absolutely no scale in front of me at that time. The current planetary graveyard is at least twice as large as it was in its formative years, not because of anything else, but because the air thieves took out some of the ship's warehouses that they had looted, and after taking out the goods, they couldn't handle them in the end, and all the wreckage was buried here.
The situation on New South Star is far less peaceful than what is advertised on TV, in fact, it has been rotten many years ago, and the Empire's patrol fleet will only patrol some industrial areas, and there is no way to stop the infiltration of air thieves into the vast no-man's land of New South Star. It's just that the cost of clearing out these air thieves is huge, like looking for a group of gophers in a dense cave in the farmland on the edge of your home.
The Imperial Patrol Fleet, which was still eager to take a vacation, would be wise to turn a blind eye to this, as long as the air thieves did not invade their control area and blatantly robbed some large corporations in the interests of New South Star, they would not be guilty of pursuing those air thieves who were more cunning than the gophers. In addition, if the air thieves loot some cargo ships, even if the planetary fleet files a case, it will eventually be unable to catch anyone.
The ruins of this cemetery in front of them, everyone who saw it was terrified, the dense metal wreckage ruins on the ground were not exactly the old antiques of centuries ago, and the hulls of some cargo ships were even very new, and the metal body that rose one or two hundred meters from the ground was a long cargo ship planted on the ground, because the front end was stuck in sandstone, so that it was raised high and kept for I don't know how many years.
"This is the cargo ship of the Conley Company, the ship was loaded with luxury goods from the border at that time, but it was attacked by air thieves, the crew was exiled, and the cargo ship was seized. Warren recognized the ship.
"The other one over there is the Explorer, which was robbed in this airspace three months ago. I know that because I did it at the time!" Jimmy also recognized another cargo ship.
Then they looked at each other, thought of a fact, and fell completely silent.
That is to say, in this cemetery area, it turned out to be a place where air thieves abandoned and buried stolen goods, and the air thieves here are at least extremely active! It is possible that the ships that have disappeared in recent months have appeared, and now they have broken into the deepest part of the ruins of the shipwreck, and God knows that something is staring at them.
But the most unfortunate thing is coming. The shuttle's stored fuel has finally come to an end, and they must make a crash landing!
In the midst of the huge bumps, the shuttle was like a huge rocket from the sky, planted on a sandy field.
It's just that the angle of falling to the planting ground is relatively gentle, and the shuttle did not disintegrate on the spot, but the lower abdomen, which was in contact with the sand and gravel ground first, was suddenly deformed and shattered, and countless parts burst out in all directions.
Transmitted into the huge bumps in the cabin, Xia Ying was strangled by the seat belt, fixed on the's seat, at the same time she firmly held the steering stick, without the slightest relaxation, under the huge impact, the kinetic energy of the shuttle is still terrifying, the two wings of the air cutting is still violent, if there is any big deviation of the cāo rudder at this time, the body is affected by the air effect, and it may not be offset and roll, at that time, the situation will be even worse.
This area happened to be a rare open area in the planetary graveyard, but in front of it was the wreckage of ships, and at the foreground was a ship whose entire hull had been rotten and broken in two, which should have been vigorously torn apart during the fall, and was holding a huge sharp break of steel outwards like a hedgehog, and now, the entire cockpit of the shuttle was rushing towards the pile of steel pestles.
If it hadn't stopped by then, the entire cockpit would have been cut through by the sharp steel spikes.
Ten meters, five meters, two meters, poof! The steel spike easily pierced the cockpit with a sharp tooth screech, and the huge rusty steel edge was like a spear in a giant, and then slowly stopped an inch in front of Xia Ying's forehead.
The shuttle finally stopped!
They finally crash-landed...... Although the posture is indeed not very elegant. But all of them have a sense of luck for the rest of their lives.
Warren and Jimmy, realizing this, almost hugged on the spot.
Under the huge smoke and dust, the almost abandoned hatch of the shuttle fell to the ground.
The group almost crawled out of the belly of the plane, and Warren, Jimmy, and the cameraman coughed and helped Xia Ying out of the cabin.
"Fuck, it's not easy!" Warren's voice rang out with excitement. Only then did everyone look back at the yellow sand in the sky and the twisted shuttle, and almost burst into tears, it was a miracle that they escaped from the Seagull and then that the shuttle with a broken engine landed smoothly.
However, it is obvious that Lin Hai did not enjoy the consciousness of sighing at the beauty of life at all, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately went to the rear cargo hold, opened the hatch, climbed into his van from the messy cargo hold, started, ignited, and drove out, just when Warren and the others were just excited to see the van drive out, the truck suddenly whined, and suddenly broke down! Spells of spells.
Everyone did not forget that they were still in this cemetery area, just out of the crisis of the crash, people will inevitably have a desire to survive, seeing Lin Hai drum out a truck, they were about to cheer, the car suddenly broke down. It's like extinguishing the hope they have ignited.
Producer Warren couldn't stand it at the time, and rushed forward, at this time Lin Hai had already opened the car door and got out of the car, he didn't care about Lin Hai, climbed into the driver's seat two or three times, twisted the key, ignited again, and gave oil, no matter how to toss, the car just didn't move, Warren finally slapped the horn in despair, the car made a sharp horn sound, he jumped out of the car and kicked the tire hard,
yelled at Lin Hai, "You're sick in the brain!" If you don't know how to drive it, let me come! Don't you check the vehicle before driving, under the bumps just now, the car will inevitably not be damaged! Won't you check it first, now it's okay, we can't go! Waiting to be taken hostage by those air thieves and paid for ransom!"
They were wary of Lin Hai at the beginning, and after Xia Ying and Lin Hai disappeared on the ship overnight, Warren and Jimmy and others were even more wary of Lin Hai, although they didn't know how he disappeared all night with Xia Ying, who had a misunderstanding with him, but there is no doubt that they all have instinctive vigilance against Lin Hai.
Before, because of the escape, he was on the same ship as Lin Hai, but now he is temporarily safe, and Lin Hai ruined their only hope of survival like this, so he naturally won't give Lin Hai a good face. Warren is usually a proud and untamed person in life, and he has always been dictated by others, but in front of Xia Ying, the idol of the empire, his temper will inevitably be suppressed. Now facing Lin Hai, where does he need to suppress, it broke out in an instant, and two thick arms full of hair kept waving in front of Lin Hai, almost pointing at his nose and clenching his fists to give him two punches.
He didn't give Lin Hai two punches, but Lin Hai held his collar upside down and shouted at him, "What are you doing, what are you doing...... put, jǐng sue you ......" under such a voice, one of them threw him on the sand in the distance.
If it were in the normal world, as a producer, high up on the TV station, and high society in a suit and leather shoes, it would never be possible for Warren to be thrown far away by a little mechanic with his collar. If such a thing really happens, he has a hundred ways to sue the other party for bankruptcy.
And yet now...... He had no place to cry.
Jimmy originally planned to help, but his eyelids fluttered when he saw Warren's two-hundred-pound body being thrown out and slammed to the ground. The little photographer who was still going to help out suddenly woke up, this guy also knocked over five guards guarding the entrance by himself when he was escaping! This achievement instantly crushed the ruthlessness that rose in his heart.
Looking at Warren humming on the ground, Lin Hai said lightly, "Since you know that you will be taken hostage by air thieves, then why were you so stupid just now, pressing such a loudspeaker, because you were worried that the other party would not hear that we were here?"
