21 A glimmer of life
The pirate ship gradually moved away, but the Qinghe did not come to the rescue, floating in the empty universe, the whole person seemed to melt into the starry sky.
"Qinghe Qinghe, I'm an artilleryman, I'm an artilleryman, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it!" Ye Fei called continuously, but did not get the slightest reply.
Finished.
The pirate ship ran away, the Qinghe was gone, leaving only him and Jiang Li with two lonely souls and wild ghosts to rely on.
"Captain, what shall we do?" In addition to the life-sustaining system, Ye Fei turned off all unnecessary functions of the armor to prolong the use of the battery as much as possible.
"What the hell do I know?" Jiang Li stared straight at the distant stars, and his impetuous mood suddenly calmed down, "If the electricity runs out, I will take off the armor directly, dead ball." ”
……
Without the protection of armor, the human body will be frozen into a sculpture by the low temperature of the universe in an instant, in this situation, Ye Fei can not only sigh, but he doesn't know what else he can say.
"What do you think?" Jiang Li asked softly.
Ye Fei took a deep breath: "I'm still young, and I don't plan to die here." ”
"Captain, you're too negative, aren't you?" The voice of a black bear suddenly appeared on the radio.
"It's just ......" everyone responded.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Damn, don't pretend to be dead if you don't have anything!" ”
"Bah, captain, don't curse me, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" The black bear smirked, "Damn, there is only one arm left, I don't know whose girl can take a fancy to me." ”
"Come on, you, just you, you look like an orangutan, with eight arms, no girl can look at you!" Ye Fei couldn't help but stab the black bear, this guy's code name is black bear, and he can know what kind of figure Lu Dao looks like with the back of his head.
The little girl married him, and the cave room spent candle nights, and he had to be flattened.
"Bah, Lao Tzu must find someone more beautiful than your daughter-in-law, I'm angry with you!" The catastrophe does not die, and the black bear does not change its true color with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
"Ha Luha, then you have to work hard!" Ye Fei smiled.
"Bastard boy!" Jiang Li scolded with a smile, "Listen to his nonsense, this matter is on me, I will introduce you to the most beautiful, to ensure that the artillery will have pink eye!" ”
"Yes, Captain, that's what you said!" When the black bear saw the pole, he climbed up and laughed happily.
"Captain, you can't favor one over the other...... the others saw this, and immediately planted rice seedlings to coax.
"Shut up!" Jiang Li yelled, "Who is there?" Report the number! ”
There was a ringing in his ears, and he couldn't even tell who it was.
The radio station reported from one to six, plus himself a total of seven people, and the remaining three must be in the lifeboat that escaped the catastrophe, and I don't know where they flew.
Jiang Li suddenly shouted: "His grandmother's, you don't have any shit, Lao Tzu is so sad that he almost shed tears, and he will find a fucking partner for you, and I will be fucking beaten up, and I will lose a lot!" ”
The black bear whispered: "Hehe, captain, don't say it, if it weren't for the artilleryman shouting that voice, maybe you would really be here today." ”
Jiang Li smiled bitterly: "What's the use of shouting, or not waiting here for death?" It's okay, together with everyone, you can also be a companion. He had a rare sense of humor, but unfortunately it was not the right time, and everyone was awkwardly silent for a while.
They are all hot-blooded men, and no one is afraid of death, but the taste of waiting for death is really difficult.
Ye Fei's heart was desolate, did he have to die here? It is said that there is no endless road in the sky, but where is the road for this person in heaven?
Unwilling to wait for death, he mobilized all his brain cells to overclock, almost burned his brain, and didn't come up with a reason.
Although the combat armor also has the ability to fly in a vacuum, the "fuel" consumed is the compressed air inside the armor, and if the speed is not raised, I am afraid that the people inside will suffocate to death first.
Armor is not a spaceship after all...... What is that?
He kept pulling Jiang Li's arm, neither of them realized that the two of them had been spinning non-stop, and at this time, just changing angles, Ye Fei suddenly saw the center of the mining area on the asteroid from a distance!
"There is salvation!" Ye Fei shouted, it was his father's death and his mother's marriage, and the joy of life fell from the sky, and the eight-hundred-year-old bachelor couldn't shout such a penetrating roar even if he married his wife.
"What......" The radio station was suddenly in chaos, obviously in a desperate situation, but suddenly found that there was still a glimmer of life, and everyone was red-eyed.
"Keep your mouth shut and listen to the artillerymen!" At the critical moment, Jiang Li stepped forward.
Ye Fei was so excited that he wanted to dance: "We can fly to the asteroid, the second group is still there, fly over, we will be saved!" "Flying from outer space to the earth is looking for death, even if you fly to the moon, it is the end of no bones, but the asteroid is different, its gravitational pull is so weak that it is almost negligible, and there is no difficulty in landing.
There was silence on the radio, and Ye Fei was inexplicable: "What's wrong?" ”
The black bear asked depressedly, "Where is the asteroid?" ”
"Huh?" Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that not everyone had a pair of telescopes with a visual power of more than 2.0.
Jiang Li immediately decided: "Everyone, move closer to me!" ”
It doesn't matter if you go up or down, left or right in space, but all of the people who can become reserve members are "outliers" who can maintain a sense of direction in a weightless environment, and the detection range of the radar is adjusted to the maximum, and everyone finally discovers the location of their teammates.
The universe is a three-dimensional space, not a plane on the surface of the earth, and the three-dimensional direction is represented by a flat image, and the final result can only be the opposite direction. Fortunately, the pupil projection system can adjust the light to achieve accurate stereo vision and guide the soldiers in the right direction.
Everyone activated the propulsion system and approached Jiang Li together, and the black bear complained loudly in distress: "Which fucking turtle son designed the thruster?" Lao Tzu has to sue him when he goes back, how much air is wasted! "He's tall and strong, and he's consuming a lot more air than anyone else, and he's running out of air reserves.
Air is not worth farting on earth, but in space, it is the basic condition for survival, and it is no wonder that black bears are distressed.
Ye Fei deliberately said in a nonchalant tone: "Okay, okay, what's the big deal, is there still air reserves in the warehouse in the mining area?" Yours are indispensable. ”
"This is what you said, I won't be angry enough for a while, you will divide me first!"
Feeling that the black bear was not joking, Ye Fei was a little stunned: "You didn't mean it seriously, right?" How long can it last? ”
"It's no problem to fly to you, and if you don't waste it anymore, it's no problem to stick to the asteroid estimate."
Estimated fine? Ye Fei almost ran away, it is estimated that it is very problematic!
Jiang Li immediately interjected into the call: "Black bear, you turn off the thruster immediately, who is with the black bear?" ”
"Me!"
"Fly with a black bear!" Jiang Li frowned, "When you fly towards the asteroid in a while, let the others take the two of you." ”
Jiang Li turned off the radio, pulled Ye Fei in front of him, put his helmet against his helmet and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Ye Fei was full of confidence: "One hundred percent!" ”
When they abandoned the ship and fled, they were panicked and confused, and everyone jumped in different directions, but fortunately they did not drift away from the detection range of the radar, otherwise it would have become a tragedy.
The black bear is relatively close, but in order to save air, the speed of the two is not fast, and they arrive almost at the same time as the other group.
Everyone slowed down at the same time, slowly leaned together, grabbed the arms and legs of the same piece, dragged one by one and strung them together, and then connected them together with hooks...... Four of the seven were wounded, and the black bear was the most seriously injured.
The black bear was very open-minded, and smirked heartlessly: "You say, do we look like grasshoppers tied to a rope?" ”
"What is like, it is simply that!" Everyone laughed.
The sight of seven people reuniting in a helpless universe is intimate and comical at the same time, and after only a short separation, it seems like centuries.
Jiang Li interrupted everyone's bitterness: "Don't make trouble, hurry up, artillery, you take the lead, set off immediately!" "One more minute is a little more risky, and the feeling of not being grounded is really dangerous.
"Roger!" Ye Fei is the one who does it, whoever lets the team find the target!
The thrusters were activated, and the elongated human snake began to move, but dragging six people, propelled by air alone, it was really beyond its strength, and the speed gradually increased, and it was by no means an experience worth boasting about, and everyone slowly fell silent.
Jiang Li felt a faint pain in the injury on his leg, and his head began to become groggy, knowing that he was about to be unable to hold on, he hurriedly instructed: "Artillery, I'm fucking dying, from now on under your command, you must bring everyone safely to the asteroid!" By no, he doesn't mean hanging up, but that he is about to go into forced hibernation.
If the condition of the wounded is not good, the wounded person will be injected with strong anesthetic and tranquilizing drugs, forcing them into a dormant state to prevent further deterioration of the injury and buy time for treatment.
After the injection, even if he stabs him twice with a knife, the wounded will not react in the slightest, and the skin and flesh of the wound will not even roll over, and he will be like a dead man.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Ye Fei gave Jiang Li a confident answer, and then asked, "Black Bear, how are you?" ”
The black bear's right arm was at least comminuted, and the injury was more serious than Jiang Li's.
"I'm fine." The black bear's answer was listless, he was the first to be injured, the effects of the painkillers had begun to dissipate, and the tearing pain of the wound continued to invade his nerves.
"Don't stiffen up, get some sleep." Ye Fei took advantage of the command power he had just arrived to forcibly order the black bear's armor to inject it with a tranquilizer, and the black bear wanted to refute, but he fell asleep before he could say anything.
"What about the others? You can sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get there. Ye Fei did not change his poor nature.
The other two wounded were slightly injured, and rejected Ye Fei's suggestion, Ye Fei didn't force them, he felt that the speed was still too slow, he took out his pistol, and shot it in the direction of no one behind him, the fire flashed in the dark, and the speed of drifting suddenly increased, and the hook tied to everyone suddenly tightened.
Zhu Zhiqiang, a teammate codenamed Scissors, couldn't help but blow an admiring hooligan whistle: "Artillery, I know that you have a good brain, this method is really good, don't hit us leisurely!" ”
"Hehe, don't worry." Ye Fei didn't dare to take credit, "Isn't this Lao Bo's good teaching." ”
The rifle's bullets were basically gone, but the pistol's ammunition was basically not consumed, Ye Fei fired again and again, using the recoil to speed up. He couldn't see anything but the stars in this hellish place, and without a reference, he couldn't see how fast it was, so he could only stare at the asteroid closely, for fear of accidentally drifting over his head.
After running out of a magazine, Ye Fei felt that the speed should be about the same, put away the gun and slowly waited while chatting with his comrades, about twenty minutes, the human snake gradually drifted close to the asteroid.
The speed of drifting was a little fast, Ye Fei was afraid of hitting the asteroid and causing danger, so he used his pistol to slow down, and only after feeling that it was almost enough to start the propulsion system to adjust the direction and slowly approach the asteroid.
Condescendingly, the situation on the asteroid was unobstructed, and Ye Fei's eyes were fixed - the top cover of the silo was wide open, and the black hole in the well couldn't see anything clearly, and the building was damaged in a few places, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the landing craft of the second group was missing?
At the time of landing, the two landing craft were separated on either side of the building, and now there is no stone fart around the building.
It's broken!
Ye Fei secretly screamed, he originally thought that the second group was still here, with the help of the second group, whether it was to treat the wounded or evacuate, it was not a problem, but now it seems that the second group must have evacuated the asteroid, and eighty percent of them withdrew the Qinghe.
When escaping from the pirate ship, four lifeboats were destroyed, and only one was missing, would the Qinghe think that everyone was heroic?
When the Qinghe returns to the base, it will definitely report the battle, and then the military will definitely send people to search the airspace, and even send a fleet to carry out a retaliatory strike, and the mining area also needs to be repaired and restored to production.
Especially Lao Bo and Black Bear, if their injuries are not treated in time, it is a question of whether they can survive.
Ye Fei's mind was spinning, no matter how much, let's go down first!
He adjusted his speed to synchronize with the asteroid, and slowly landed near the building without panicking, unfastened the magnetic lock and said, "Scissors, how much air does the black bear have?" ”
The scissors pulled out a data cable and connected it to the data interface on the black bear's waist, and read the armor status: "It's not much, at most ten minutes, I'll give it to him first, but I can only hold on for another half an hour at most, if only the veterinarian was there." "The veterinarian's name is Ren Mufeng, and he is a health soldier in a group, because he only knows how to deal with emergency injuries, and his medical skills are useless, so he is nicknamed a veterinarian by everyone.
His armor is a little different from the others, carrying a large amount of emergency medicine and additional air reserves. Now the beast is wounded, but the veterinarian is on the lifeboat that has drifted away.
"I don't have much air!" Ye Fei's gaze fell on the building, "There must be excess reserves in the warehouse in the mining area, bring the wounded, let's go in!" ”
Everyone didn't say much, and pulled Lao Bo and the black bear to follow behind Ye Fei.
"Artilleryman, are you sure?" Scissors asked uneasily.
Ye Fei replied confidently: "Yes!" In fact, he has no bottom in his heart at all, but now he has become the backbone of the whole team, even if he pretends, he has to hold on.
"Scissors, the last time you went in, did you find out that the storeroom was there?"
Scissors recalled for a moment: "It doesn't seem to be, I don't have any impression at all, but we ran into pirates not long after we entered, and we kept fighting, maybe I didn't pay attention." ”
"What about the others," Ye Fei asked again.
The answer was either that he didn't pay attention or didn't notice it, Ye Fei was suddenly full of frustration, and he had to speed up, time was running out.
Time was pressing, Ye Fei did not choose to enter through the airtight door, but jumped on the roof with everyone, went straight to the central silo, stood on the side of the well and glanced at Lu Xia and said, "Jump down!" "After saying that, the first one jumped into the pitch-black silo.
As they are mainly responsible for assault warships and anti-piracy missions, every member of the Marine Corps is very familiar with the structure of warships and various types of space stations, and the complex of the mining control center is also a type of space station, which is built on rocky asteroids, and usually places important areas such as warehouses and living quarters deep underground. And the silo leads all the way to the deepest part of the space station, and jumping into the well can greatly save time on the road.
Everyone turned on the tactical lights and jumped down without saying a word, and the bright lights dispelled the darkness in the silos.
Ye Fei was the first to fall to the bottom of the well, and the tactical lamp he threw down was actually thrown on the ground, illuminating a piece of the ground.
This thing is pretty durable!
Ye Fei picked up the tactical lamp and shone it around.
I don't know when a new container was erected on the central launch pad, and the door was wide open. The corpses of several pirates fell to the bottom of the stage, the blood splattered was frozen by the low temperature, and it still maintained the shape when it was just spewed out, like coral on the bottom of the sea, and like an abstract painting in the artist's hand, so that normal people could not see it.
Ye Fei picked up the weapons left by the pirates, smashed the frozen blood, took out the bullets from the pirate's corpse, and said in an emotionless voice: "I don't know if there are any pirates here, look for them, pick what you can use, and try to replenish ammunition." ”
Except for the pistols, the men's bullets were depleted, and the rest was not enough to support the battle, and the pirates' weapons, although rudimentary, were better than nothing.
Everyone did what they said, and when they fought against the pirates, the fierce battle made everyone bother to take a closer look, and when they returned here, they couldn't help but feel like they were in hell when they saw the mutilated corpses of the pirates in a gloomy environment.
The low temperature not only froze the pirate's blood, but also coagulated the pirate's corpse, making them maintain the expression of death when they died, which was particularly terrifying in everyone's eyes.
However, all of them were strictly trained warriors, and their hearts were furious, but they only felt uncomfortable because the pirate died too ugly.
The Celestial Army has not trained much in this area, and everyone has little contact, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a pile of bones and meat, what's so scary? Which member of the Army Special Forces has not slept with the bones of a dead man in the graveyard?
Demons, demons, monsters, etc., are all made up by living people to scare themselves, and if you believe it, you don't believe it.
After arming himself as fast as he could, Ye Fei waved his hand: "Scissors, you have been here, lead the way in front, everyone pay more attention, see where is the warehouse." ”
Scissors said: "The direction we came to for the first time was the smelting workshop, there should be an ore warehouse and a finished product warehouse, close to the silo to facilitate transfer and transportation, will other warehouses also be there?" ”
"Makes sense, lead the way!" Ye Fei nodded his head, unless it was an arsenal, in most cases, the warehouses were all gathered together, which was convenient for storage and easy access.
Scissors shone with a tactical lamp, found the way they came, and floated in with their guns raised.
Ye Fei followed closely, probably for the convenience of transportation, the passage here is wide and high, the passage is full of craters left by shooting, and there are many corpses left by pirates, but they were all killed by small-caliber rifles, and the pirates here finally left a whole corpse.
Soon everyone entered the tall and large smelting workshop, at this time ten minutes had passed, Ye Fei's brows tightened: "There is no time, I will bring Lao Bo, scissors and black bears, everyone will contact the radio station, and look for it separately!" ”
If it is on the ground, it is a big trouble to bring two unconscious wounded people, it is said that it is okay to place people here first, and then pick them up later, but Ye Fei always feels unsteady, the people who are thrown down in the movie always have accidents, and the ghost knows what will happen if he throws people here, and he can't leave his comrades behind at any time, just in case, it's better to take them with him, and it doesn't take much effort anyway.
The four of them acted separately, Ye Fei chose a direction casually, and after a few steps, he floated against the wall, he looked around and found a door, which was inlaid with large floor-to-ceiling glass.
Ye Fei pried open the door, and a gust of air almost blew him away.
There's still air here? Ye Fei couldn't regret it, how could he be so reckless?
But now it's too late to regret it, he pulled Jiang Li into the door, inside the door is a control room, behind the floor-to-ceiling glass stands a console full of buttons and computers, the other three directions are walls, only one has a door that I don't know where the road leads.
Ye Fei didn't dare to open the door recklessly, but carefully observed this control room - the door when he came in was a single-layer airtight door, indicating that under normal circumstances, there was an air environment inside and outside this control room, would there be a control switch to supplement air? He looked on the console first, but found nothing, all he could understand, but he didn't understand what the function of the control button.
Disappointed, Ye Fei shone on the wall again, and the tactical lamp swept across the wall, and he suddenly found that there was a diagram on the wall that seemed to be a process flow.
Ye Fei was stunned, this is the control room, will there be other diagrams, such as the building structure...... The pillar of light quickly swept across the wall, and finally found a building plan in the corner of the control room, which read: Floor plan of the fifteenth basement, a few large characters.
Got it!
Ye Fei looked over, resisted the urge to inform others, directly looked for the most central label on the map, and immediately found the smelting workshop and the control room at the edge of the workshop, which was his current location.
Treasury, treasury!
Ye Fei clenched his fists tightly, his heart pounding with nervousness, and he suddenly found the storage area and confirmed the location of the supply depot.
Oxygen is also a supply for the space station, and even if there is no readily available oxygen reserves, there are emergency sodium peroxide pill plates or other oxygen production equipment.
With only five minutes left, he scanned the entire diagram, recorded it in the armor's database, and used the data link to transmit the diagram to the other teammates as soon as possible: "Quick, I found the building plan!" ”
"Great!" The crowd cheered over the radio, and Scissors shouted, "I'm rushing to the storeroom!" ”
