interstellar involution king

Chapter 45

[-] kilometers, to Nova, is just a leisurely walk.

From radio, infrared, visible light, x-rays, and even gamma rays, almost all electromagnetic waves in the frequency band are within the detection range of the spacecraft, and they all have good sensitivity.

This is the power of the combination of technology and money.

As it approached the wreckage of the spacecraft, the spacecraft detected more and more detailed information.

"There are five active electromagnetic sources in the wreckage, using the encrypted channel: Scavengers."

"They're all scavengers~"

Zheng Wan showed a trace of emotion, just half a month ago, they were also scavengers.The feeling of wandering in space, ready to face life and death at any time, recalling it at this moment still makes people feel chills all over.

Seeing Zheng Wan's appearance, Lin Yuan worried that her sympathy would flare up, and immediately said, "Let's wait and see the other party's character first, and help if we can."

Zheng Wan smiled: "Ah, ah, I won't save people indiscriminately."

It's strange to say that after the person said something before, the communication channel was silent for a long time.

Lin Yuan estimated that those scavengers probably entered the airtight cabin, and the signal was blocked by the metal cabin of the spaceship.

About another 2 minutes later, the sound appeared on the channel again.

"We agreed in advance. Either save someone, or pretend that you didn't see it. It's better for you to kill someone directly! What's the difference between this and a robber?"

The voice is full of anger, and the content is also somewhat shocking.

From this sentence, it is not difficult to imagine what happened in the cabin.

Zheng Wan frowned: "Looks like a bunch of scum!"

Lin Yuan remained silent and continued to listen.

The hoarse voice sounded again in the channel: "As long as you are noble and good, we all live like dogs, how can we care about these things?"

Another voice rang out: "Okay, okay, let's not say a few words. Lao San, I didn't blame you, you were a bit harsh. But then again, this person was seriously injured and the spaceship was destroyed. If we don't do it, he will die too. Help, we have no such ability. Leave it alone, and waste such a good space suit."

The angry voice from earlier sounded again: "Old Wang, don't mess with mud here! Who said it can't be saved? Let's help him send a rescue signal. If a passing spaceship receives it, won't he be saved?"

The hoarse voice sneered: "Liu, you are a good person, you are great, bright and righteous. We are all rats in the gutter. If you can't bend down to join us rats, go be great alone!"

"You chased me away?!"

"Old and old, things haven't come to this point. Stay, you've become scavengers, don't be so stubborn!"

"I didn't say anything, because Liu couldn't get used to us."

"Hmph, you don't have to provoke me. Your team is no different from a rat's nest. I don't want to stay with your grandpa for a long time!"

Not long after these words, Lin Yuan saw a figure emerge from the breach of the spaceship wreckage, and floated into the dark space alone.

In the following time, the angry voice no longer appeared on the Scavengers Channel, but the hoarse voice kept ringing.

"Liu, I want to advise you, don't be so rigid in life, don't have such a hard temper, or you will die in space one day, and there will be no one to collect your body."

"Hmph, because I'm a senior power engineer and can count star charts, I'm defiant. Do you really think we can't live without you?"

"Ah, are you really leaving? In this wilderness, the solar sails can't even be opened. With that little high-pressure air and residual speed, you want to become a space mummy?"

"Lao San, please don't say a few words. Stay, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, come back quickly, Lao San knows he was wrong, and he won't be like this next time."

There was no response, and the figure in the space was getting farther and farther away from the wreckage of the spaceship, and gradually became a lonely existence.

Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders on Nova Star: "The universe is really small."

Zheng Wan also nodded: "I didn't expect to meet this bad-tempered guy here. Judging from the tatters of the space suit, he has had a very bad time."

That was none other than the scavenger who he had met in the outer space of the barren star and called himself the windy man.

It's just that now, it seems that he doesn't have much masculine temperament left.

Lin Yuan sighed: "This guy is not bad, let's fish him up. Let's see if he is willing to join us."

They are short of manpower, but the character they keep is good, and he is an engineer with ability.If he is willing to join Hope Company, he will definitely be a go-getter who can entrust important tasks.

Zheng Wan is not very optimistic about this matter.

"It's okay to catch him, and it's okay to give him a ride, but if you want to partner, you have to be mentally prepared. This guy has a very bad temper, and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he doesn't like it, it will be a big meal immediately." Greetings Ann."

"Zuan is not afraid to greet. Does he like to fight?"

"I can't do it with hands, but my mouth smells bad, and it's extremely difficult to get along with."

"Haha, he is an interesting guy. Go straight to fish, I guess he is not willing, let's contact him first."

He is more and more satisfied, and the smelly mouth can still live until now, which shows that his ability is absolutely reliable.

"agree."

On the other side, after leaving the team and flying out of space, Liu let out a long breath: "Although the universe is big, garbage is everywhere."

However, although he didn't regret his decision, when he looked around, there was darkness and emptiness around him, and there was only a small spot of light the size of a sesame seed left on Nanli No. [-] star.

Looking at my jetpack again, the shift margin is 8km, and my current speed is 36km per second.

"The sea of ​​stars is vast, where should I go?"

For a moment, Xin was filled with confusion, he didn't even know what was the point of living like this.

"Don't think about it, close your eyes and float freely for a while. At least at this moment, I can still enjoy a moment of tranquility in the dark."

But soon, the tingling from the skin interrupted his self-relaxation, which was almost low in the dust.

The environment in the space suit was too dirty, which led to dermatitis.

Cosmic high-energy rays greatly weakened his immunity, resulting in dermatitis that persisted for a long time and became more and more serious.There were large areas of ulceration on the skin in many places, and when I moved it, there were waves of itching and tingling all over my body.

I can't scratch it, and it won't get better, it's painful!

What makes people even more desperate is that there is no end in sight to such painful days, and it seems that only death can end it all.

Another thought flashed in Xin's mind: "Why don't we just end it?"

His hand seemed to be conscious, and he couldn't help touching the air vent of the space suit. As long as he pressed it hard, the dirty air in the space suit would rush out with a 'bang', blowing off his arm and taking him away. s life.

'In a vacuum, I can live for about 60 seconds, the corneas will be bloodshot, freeze, and the saliva will boil, but the skin and spacesuit will limit the expansion of the body, so I will be a cryomummy. '

'No one will remember me.No one will cry for me.All my insistence is nothing but ridiculous vain~ah~ just let me leave this hateful dark world. '

'Do you want to press it?Do you want to press it?Do you want to press it? '

In the repeated sentences, there are fewer and fewer elements of doubt, and more and more elements of affirmation.

Just when he was about to press it, a voice suddenly sounded in the communicator: "Zizi~~Zizi~~~ Man like the wind~ Man like the wind~~ You don't mean to commit suicide, do you?"

Liu was slightly startled, and regained consciousness from a trance.

Looking at the communication, I found that the person who contacted him was called 'Xinxing', which seemed to be the name of the spaceship, but the voice and intonation were a bit familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

No matter who it is, they will definitely not contact him for no reason.

"The name Rufeng Man, I have abandoned it half a month ago. Now I am called Liu. Also, who are you?"

"I'm Zheng Wan, the person who saved your life. You won't forget me, will you?"

"Zheng Wan? Nova? So, you really repaired that scrapped spaceship? Well, you're really lucky!"

"Who says it's not. By the way, I happened to pass by and saw you arguing with those scumbags. It's not easy to use solar sails in this place, why don't I give you a ride?"

For a moment, he moved his mind, but then shook his head: "Don't bother, I want to be alone."

He knew that as long as he nodded, Zheng Wan would definitely come to scoop him up.

But even though the other party has repaired the spacecraft, such scrapped spacecraft will definitely not be able to obtain a legal ship certificate, and it must be very embarrassing to fly in space, and every propellant can be broken into two.

Don't bother her any more.

Zheng Wan's voice sounded again: "What's so quiet about this ghost place? Just get on the boat!"

"Heh~ Zheng Wan, you are still nosy like before."

"It's true that I like to meddle in other people's affairs, but I can recognize the situation. Unlike you, who always like to meddle in things beyond my ability, and the result is always broken!"

"If you're here to quarrel with me, then forget it. You go, there's no need to waste the propellant of the spaceship for me."

The communicator fell silent, and Zheng Wan seemed to have left.

He let out a long breath, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but more relieved.

Zheng Wan is a good person, and before the end, it was a good comfort to see that her life was better than before.

And he no longer has the heart to continue wandering.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he was about to press the ventilation hole.

Suddenly, he felt his eyes light up, very bright, and the dazzling white light made him unable to open his eyes.

A small black spaceship in the shape of a cube was hovering a few kilometers in front of him.

A strange male voice rang through the communication.

"The greatest pain of life is to try to change the world, but this is also the most noble goal of life. If you just go with the flow, what is the difference between a living stone and a non-living stone?"

Pay attention to the violent shock in my heart.

He unconsciously muttered: "Is changing the world the source of pain?"

Looking back on the past, most of the pain I experienced seems to have come from my persistence.

If he is willing to go with the flow, he will definitely live better than most people, and he will not become a scavenger at all.

But he just doesn't want to!
I once met a girl who was bullied by her boss. Everyone knew it well, but they were silent.He stepped up and lost his job as a result.

I once witnessed star robbers robbing passenger spaceships and massacring passengers.He tried his best to rescue him, but one leg was broken, and his life was hanging by a thread.

In the past, he was a man like the wind, who believed that there was always justice in the world.If no one stands up, then it's up to him to represent justice.

But now, Rufeng Man is a thing of the past, he just stays, a down-and-out scavenger covered in injuries.

He saw himself clearly, he was an incompetent person, like a stone in a latrine, smelly, hard, and useless.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Lin Yuan, the navigator of the New Star, and also Zheng Wan's comrade-in-arms."

"Lin Yuan. Do you want to change the world?"

A reply came out in the newsletter: "The topic of changing the world is too big, so we have to take it slowly. Before that, you have to take care of yourself first."

Stay silent.

"Don't hesitate, get on board."

"Now that you're here with me, give me a ride."

After finishing speaking, he added: "By the way, I won't enter the cabin, so I will borrow the force from the outer shell of the spaceship. I will find a way to compensate for the extra propellant you spent."
