22 Desperate Survival (I)
"I'll be there soon!" Ye Fei confirmed the light point on the radar that represented the scissors, and rushed out of the control room. Several of the originally slow light spots on the radar sped up just like him.
"The supply depot has been found, and the depot door is intact and undamaged!" The scissors came with new news, and the radio was cheering.
Ye Fei yelled: "No matter what method you use, open the door immediately, we don't have time!" ”
"No problem," Scissors said with a trembling voice, "It's an airtight door......
"Pry it open!" Everyone yelled in unison.
"Prying...... Opened ...... X's! The scissors screamed, and suddenly tightened everyone's hearts.
Ye Fei simply fired a few shots in a row to speed up: "Scissors scissors, what's the situation?" ”
"It's okay, there's air in the door, it's still double airtight, I'm waiting here, everyone come quickly!"
Ye Fei was so excited that he almost jumped up, generally speaking, only the location of the space station leading to the outside world will set up double airtight doors, the airtight doors inside the space station are all single-layered, there are double-layer airtight doors, is it ...... Refuge?
Interstellar space is not the ground, full of unpredictable dangers, even if it is just a small damage on the outer wall, it will cause the air pressure in the space station to continue to drop, so whether it is a space city or a space station, any kind of outer space building will design a shelter with a large number of supplies in the safest position, in the event of an emergency, it can effectively protect the personal safety of the staff.
The light spots on the radar rushed in the same direction, and Ye Fei dragged Jiang Li to the last one, and at this time he only had two minutes of air left.
The space in the middle of the double-layer airtight door was not small, but it was still a little narrow to fit in seven heavily armed warriors, and everyone was crowded together, and even hung three on top of their heads, barely cramming them all in.
The outer door closed silently, the sizzling sound of inflation sounded, and everyone's hanging hearts were put back into their stomachs at the same time.
Where there is gas, there is hope, and at this juncture, survival is more important than anything else.
The armor detected that the air pressure outside had reached a normal level, Ye Fei took off his helmet and took a deep breath, and smiled: "Scissors, don't bother the second master, open the door." ”
Without saying a word, the scissors stuffed a knife into the crack of the door, and with a strong prying, the inner airtight door slowly slid open, and a trace of light came out of the crack in the flashed door.
Someone?
The airtight door seemed to be slow and fast, and the ground opened to the extreme, and three pirates in the door wearing signature patch uniforms sat cross-legged on the ground, eating and drinking with food, not wanting the airtight door to open suddenly, and when they turned around, seven or eight heavily armed regular soldiers appeared, and their eyes widened in shock, and they instinctively wanted to grab their guns.
But the three pirates were eating and drinking, and the guns were by their side, but how could they have time to pick them up?
Ye Fei and the others didn't expect to encounter pirates here, seeing that the pirates still wanted to resist stubbornly, the scissors took the lead, and the sword flashed to shatter the pirate's broken gun, and then flipped his wrist and rested on the pirate's neck and shouted: "Don't move!" ”
At the same time, the others fired their guns quickly, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed at the pirates' heads.
In a narrow space, the rifle was far less flexible than the short and lean pistol, and everyone drew their pistols in an instant, but at a distance of three or five meters, they couldn't miss it with their eyes closed.
The pirates turned pale, and honestly gave up resistance under the threat of gunpoint.
Ye Fei pinched his teeth, pulled out the empty magazine and replaced it with bullets, put away the gun, and shook his head at the scissors: "Escort them to the corner, take off the equipment and tie it up, don't leave hidden dangers." "There have been too many times to use recoil to accelerate before, and the pirates can't see the flaw, but everyone found that Ye Fei's gun was empty.
Several of his companions snickered.
Scissors smiled slightly: "You can rest assured that I will do something!" Let's go, put your hands on top of your head honestly, and don't force me to do it. "There is really not much skill to deal with a few lone pirates, even with their broken guns, there is not much threat, he can clean up three by himself.
Sensing that there was plenty of air outside, the armor began to automatically extract air to replenish consumption, and everyone took off their helmets and threw them aside, swept away the leftovers of the pirates, got some food again, and sat together tiredly to comfort the rebel belly.
The scissors over there suddenly became anxious, and tied up the captives in three or two: "Hey, what about me, what about me!" ”
Ye Fei casually threw a pack of compressed biscuits: "Yes, there is enough for you to eat." ”
"Cut!" Scissors casually tossed the compressed biscuits aside, "Whoever eats this, I want to eat canned food!" ”
"I can't hold you up." Ye Fei simply threw him half a box of ham directly and blocked his broken mouth.
This is the supply warehouse for the entire space station, and there is everything you need to eat and drink, but most of them are dehydrated vegetables, and the ones that can be eaten directly are emergency foods such as canned food and compressed biscuits, which only account for a small part of the stockpile, but enough for everyone to eat for a few days.
Scissors smiled, hugged the box and began to eat Hesai, but after a few bites, he spit it out: "X's, it's really unpalatable." Disappointed, he threw down the box and looked at the others and sighed, "How can you eat?" ”
"It's good to have something to eat, eat enough first, who is so picky like you?" Ye Fei rolled his eyes, "You should be war food?" ”
No one thought that an ordinary rescue mission would drag on for so long, and everyone didn't bring nourishment, thinking about the nutrition and deliciousness of military food, several people suddenly felt that the food in their mouths was as difficult to swallow as pig food.
The vicinity of Saturn's orbit is already the outer periphery of the Middle Solar System, close to the airspace of the outer solar system, which is desolate and dark, and is a remote barren land for the current Anthropocene realm.
Those who are willing to come here to mine are all desperate speculators, just like the gold diggers who went to the mountains alone to pan for gold hundreds of years ago, and how much better can the living conditions of these people be? For them, having a bite to eat is already a good enjoyment, how can they have the leisure to pick and choose?
This world has never been fair since ancient times, even in the interstellar era.
Human beings have been in space for a hundred years, and space food has already made great progress, and military food is more nutritious, delicious, high-energy and convenient to eat.
"Don't pretend, let's eat honestly." The companion codenamed Toothpick advised, "Let's make it up first." ”
Scissors sighed helplessly and looked at the ham: "This thing is all starchy, at most mixed with some meat foam, X!" He picked up the compressed biscuit and tore it open, "You might as well eat this." ”
"You talk a lot!" Ye Fei returned his hand and threw him a bottle of pure water again.
The scissors poured a mouthful of the dry biscuit foam in his mouth, and looked at the water bottle with extreme disappointment: "He's X, even the water is so unpalatable." ”
"Be content, you can still eat and drink, cook and monkey ......" Toothpick said here and suddenly spent, exhaling sadly, "I don't know if the two of them are dead or alive, it's really his X." ”
The toothpick gulped down on the hard, compressed biscuit, and blood oozed from the roots of his teeth.
It's been more than half a year, everyone sleeps in a room, stirs food in a pot, bleeds and sweats together to support each other, and every day I see the stinky faces of the past few days, and suddenly there are two less, and the whole person's heart is like something is missing, and there is no one to land.
The same comrades, the same bed and the same food, really on the battlefield, it is normal to save lives and block guns, the most first-class iron relationship, this person is suddenly gone, how can there be no thought? It's just that everyone didn't say anything in their hearts, and now they are poked out of all their thoughts by a toothpick.
Everyone was silent together, the division was unfavorable, the injured were injured, the missing were missing, the trapped were trapped, and before they even finished a battle, a group of people scattered in all directions, and in the future, I don't know what it will look like.
"Eat everything," the scissors shouted loudly, "there is wine today and drunk today, who cares if you are hungry tomorrow, eat this meal, and I don't know if you will have the life to eat the next meal, don't waste it." ”
Ye Fei deliberately diverted everyone's attention, and scolded with a smile: "It's you who waste the most, and you're embarrassed to say it!" ”
Everyone began to eat slowly again, but the atmosphere gradually became gloomy.
Manpower is sometimes poor, and Ye Fei racked his brains and didn't come up with a way to reverse the atmosphere - even his own mood was very depressed, how could he persuade others?
Filled his belly, no one had the heart to clean up the mess, the scissors couldn't be idle, flying up and down all over the ground, gritting his teeth and turning over: "X, I don't believe that such a big warehouse doesn't have good things." ”
The corners of Ye Fei's eyes twitched: "You're not tired, just rest honestly for a while." ”
Scissors turned a deaf ear: "There are a lot of good things, enough for us to stay here for a week!" It took four days to come, as long as the Qinghe sent the news back to the base as soon as possible, the reinforcements would definitely be able to come over after four days, and we didn't have to go anywhere, just wait here. ”
"Wait?" Ye Fei sneered, "Can you afford to wait, can Black Bear and Lao Bo wait?" ”
The scissors suddenly stopped talking, and looked at the unconscious comrades in a daze and couldn't speak, and after a while, he stiffened his neck and said, "Don't wait, what if you don't wait?" ”
"If I had a way, why stay here!" Ye Fei spread his hands, and he was extremely single.
"It's not like you're waiting!"
"Scissors!" Toothpick glared at him, "Did you take the wrong medicine?" ”
"Did I take the wrong medicine? You didn't take the wrong medicine, you figured out a way! "Scissors have to be unforgiving," I just want to see how many reserves there are, is there something wrong? ”
Ye Fei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you don't have to convulsions, you can watch it if you want, toothpick, you stay here, I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Where are you going?" Toothpicks are puzzled.
Ye Fei smiled reluctantly: "Go find the communication room and see if you can contact the base, if you can contact the Qinghe, it will be better, it won't take a few hours, they will be able to rush back." ”
Toothpick glanced at the scissors: "I'll go with you." ”
The scissors didn't speak, turned around and began rummaging again.
Ye Fei shook his head and said, "You and the jar are both injured, let's rest for a while." "The jar is another wounded, he doesn't like to talk, he usually looks like a stuffy jar, so he got such a code name.
"It's just a little injury, it's a fart!" Toothpicks don't care.
"No matter how small it is, it's still an injury, and these are three captives. Don't worry, I can do it myself. Ye Fei patted his chest with confidence.
Toothpick glanced at the pirate in the corner, and finally nodded: "Okay then, be careful yourself." As he spoke, he handed over the spare pistol magazine.
Ye Fei took it and brought it to his body, nodded at him, buckled his helmet, opened the airtight door and floated out.
Generally speaking, the communication room should be built on the top floor of the building, and the most obvious sign is the antenna erected high, but Ye Fei recalled that it seemed that the tall antenna had not been found from beginning to end. He walked through the corridor and went straight to the silos, jumped out of the well, stood on the top of the building and looked around, and sure enough, he found nothing.
What can I do?
He found a hole and jumped into the building, trying to find the floor plan of the first floor, but after turning around for a long time, he almost lost his direction and couldn't find it.
Ye Fei thought dejectedly: Isn't the communication room on the first floor?
The communication room is an important department of the space station, and it is not a strange thing not to be on the first floor, and it is not a strange thing to obey the destiny of heaven, Ye Fei knows that he has a few catties and a few taels, and at this time, he is just worthy of his heart.
Starting from the first floor, Ye Fei kept looking for it, but he never found anything, he couldn't help but wonder, could the place where the bombing was blown up be the communication room? The force of the explosion is likely to send the towering tower antenna into space, so his search will naturally lead to nothing.
Just holding on to a glimmer of hope and trying to persevere, but until the end of the day, there was still no result, and the frustrated Ye Fei finally gave up - even if only the iron tower was left, he could connect the armored communication system, and there was at least a thirty percent chance of restoring communication, but now it was good, and there was no hope left.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept his fate, and he returned to the shelter in despair.
The comrades-in-arms all fell asleep, leaving only the toothpick on duty, and when they saw Ye Fei coming back, the toothpick asked expectantly: "How is it?" ”
Ye Fei shook his head tiredly and didn't say anything.
Toothpick smiled bitterly: "Don't think about it so much, rest for a while, you did your best." ”
"What about doing your best?" Ye Fei asked rhetorically, "Lao Bo and the black bear can only hold out for forty-eight hours, which is a third of the way, and if they don't think of a way, they will be finished." ”
Toothpick was speechless, only silent.
Ye Fei sighed, closed his eyes and lay down on the ground, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
It is said that there is no endless road, is there no way at all?
He had just found the infirmary here, although it was very simple, but all kinds of medicines and appliances were available, at least, he could do amputation......
But amputation, how easy is it?
Everyone has gone through basic first aid training, but how to amputate has only been learned, and the process of amputation has been understood. And if the two of them can be treated in time, maybe they can save their limbs, so what's the matter if they are cut off like this?
But everyone is trapped here and can't see any hope at all, if they don't do it now, when the two of them wake up, it will still be the same result, thinking about it, how can they not think of a way to get the best of both worlds, Ye Fei felt that his head was going to explode.
A voice kept shouting in his heart: can't give up, can't give up!
But how can you get out of this situation?
He sat up on the ground, using too much force, and the whole person floated up more than two meters high before slowly falling down: "Toothpick, you can sleep, I can't sleep."
The toothpick glanced at Ye Fei, sighed quietly, and turned around to lie down: "Something called me!" ”
"Don't worry." Ye Fei said softly.
Ye Fei was full of worries, sitting in a daze, although he had experienced a bloody battle from victory to defeat, but he was still an eighteen-year-old child, Jiang Li put the burden of leading a detachment on his shoulders, but where did he have the preparation to take on this burden? At this moment, it's just to catch the ducks on the shelves, and I have to do it.
But now that the responsibility has been handed over to him, he wants to do his best, instead of getting by, but God doesn't give him this opportunity, the asteroid is the only way out for everyone, but it is the dead end of the black bear and Lao Bo, for a while, Ye Fei couldn't figure out whether it was right or wrong to lead everyone here.
The young warrior was trapped in an inexplicable confusion, and in the spacious shelter, his heavy breathing was like thunder.
Ye Fei, who was anxious in his heart, simply stood up and kept floating around, trying to calm his mind, but it never had any effect, his eyes inadvertently fell on the pirate in the corner, and his heart suddenly moved.
Ye Fei floated to the corner, and the pirate who was pretending to sleep suddenly opened his eyes in panic and looked at the tall warrior with a begging gaze.
Ye Fei, who had a straight face, was expressionless, picked up one of them and dragged it aside, pulled out a pistol and put it on the pirate's forehead: "Say, what are you leaving for?" You'd better be honest, and if your answers don't agree later, I don't mind throwing you out there. He pulled the pistol safe in front of the pirate.
The pirate who was held up by the gun was in a cold sweat, and the two dead fish eyes stared at the muzzle of the gun, begging for mercy again and again: "I will say everything, say everything, a few of us stayed to press the launch switch, Jun, military master, spare my dog's life!" "In these days, if there is a way to live, who is willing to risk their lives to be a pirate with no tomorrow today? Most of the people who do this job are cornered, and now that they have become captives, there is no need to grit their teeth and stiffen up.
"Where's the ship?" The corners of Ye Fei's mouth twitched, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Return his military master X, have you watched too many movies for this kid? I know that these bastards are not a good way.
The pirates are extremely territorial, and the three captives are all Caucasian, speaking a strange Mandarin - benefiting from the unremitting struggle of generations of anti-bird language gods, foreign language classes have long since become elective; The foresight of space development has greatly enhanced the status of the country, and now everyone who eats in space knows a few words of Mandarin, otherwise they are embarrassed to say that their work is in space!
"Send us here and go." The pirate's answer was unobtrusive.
"I'm going to ask you when the ship will pick you up!" Ye Fei kicked the pirate, kicking him more than three meters away, and almost hit his head against the wall.
"I say I say!" The pirate hugged his head with his arms tied together, and he clumped up, "I was supposed to pick us up when I was done......"
Ye Fei's heart twitched, and he gritted his teeth and held back his silence: "Whose subordinates are you?" He had expected this answer, but he was disappointed to hear it from the pirates.
Although there are still four people with two injuries, and they don't have the strength to snatch a pirate ship at all, this is hopeless, and it is really desperate.
The pirates' eyes twinkled, "Love, Captain Edward Teach." ”
Captain? It seems that pirates have always been called captains, and only the navy is called captains.
Ye Fei had never heard of this person, and he didn't bother to delve into the identity of this person, so he just put a gun on the pirate's forehead: "Who is the biggest spaceship?" ”
"Henry Morgan, it's Captain Henry Morgan!" The pirate was so frightened that his voice went away, "His ship is the largest, the most powerful, and he has the most men, and I heard that there is also the support of the Americans......"
"Who is your Captain Edward Titch supporting?"
"I don't, I don't know how to ......"
"Huh?" Ye Fei pushed hard, "I don't know what to do?" ”
"Know, know the way, also, it is also supported by the Americans!" The pirate hurriedly nodded, for fear that the GI in front of him would not be satisfied and shoot directly.
The corners of Ye Fei's mouth twitched, knowing that the pirates were talking nonsense, anyway, he didn't mean to do this, and he didn't delve into it. At least now we can determine the origin of the largest pirate ship. This time, the first detachment was planted, but the whole army did not have the tradition of not looking for a field after suffering losses. In the pirate industry, if you don't rob, you have to wait for death, and you are not afraid that he will not show his feet, and when the time comes, it will be the old account and the new account together.
He threw the pirate right here, pulled one out of the other and pulled it to another corner, and asked it again, and the answer was basically the same.
The pirate at the end of the year obviously didn't need to ask again, but out of caution, Ye Fei still asked patiently, and this time it was all right.
He threw down a few frightened captives and woke up the jar: "Hold it for a while, I'll go out of the jaw." ”
The jar shrugged, rolled his eyes, and nodded helplessly. He just doesn't like to talk, and his personality is actually very lively.
Ye Fei left the shelter again and rushed to the silo again. Everything remained the same in the silo, he walked straight to the container on the launch pad, the beam of light of the tactical lamp shone on the box, reflecting a crimson color, and without much effort, he found a three-meter square door on the side of the box.
Twisting the handle on the door and opening it very easily, Ye Fei carefully hid behind the door, peeked at it, the door was pitch black, and the tactical light shone out, illuminating several horizontal seats inside, and only after making sure that there was no one inside, he got into the container.
The inside of the container has been converted to resemble a landing craft, with consoles in the front and cushion seats in the back, and it is clear that this is a small modified spaceship, not a container with a layer of skin inside and out.
After confirming his guess, Ye Fei finally put his heart back in his stomach.
Normally, the container should be filled with ore and transported to the silo before launch, but how can a container be erected on the launch pad after a Pirate launch?
When he first arrived at the asteroid, he only felt that something was wrong, but he was in a hurry to find oxygen, so he didn't think much about it, until he ran into three pirates, and he vaguely realized that he had overlooked something.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Qinghe, the ghost knows how many people the pirates would have sent to grab control of the mine at one time.
The excited Ye Fei rushed to the shelter as fast as he could, grabbed the pirate, and grabbed the pirate's neck and asked viciously: "Say, how long will it take to fly to the mine while sitting there?" ”
"What?" The companions who were awakened by Ye Fei invariably asked, "Have you found the spaceship?" ”
"It's not a spaceship!" Ye Fei smiled, "But you can fly." ”
