Chapter 2047 Disaster in the Starry Sky
The dim silence is like strands of silk threads, intertwined into a large net, blocking out all the noise, leaving only this suffocating silence.
Xincheng stood there blankly, staring blankly at his crew members who were sitting leaning on the spacecraft, with his head lowered and his hands spread out. In his palm lay a handful of specially-issued hair. The Brest pistol, used for personnel combat and space voyage personnel for self-defense, has several tiny mushrooms growing on its fingers, which have withered.
The space uniform issued by the Space Development Agency was worn on his body. His pants were stained with mud and his shirt was stained with blood.
At this moment, even the most lively Asuka Shin stood silently, feeling very uncomfortable.
The hero who embarked on a long voyage for mankind fell coldly on this strange planet at this moment.
Xincheng felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest. He was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, but he forgot to breathe, let alone how to breathe. His heart had been overwhelmed by grief, and he couldn't breathe. There were bursts of darkness in front of his eyes, and the thin piece of paper in his hand felt like a huge weight, and he couldn't hold it anymore. It slipped from Xincheng's fingertips and fell to the ground.
On the white paper, a few lines of words were hurriedly written:
“Captain, I decided to leave as a human being instead of turning into something else.
The starry sky is really beautiful, and I am honored to travel the universe with you. Although my journey has ended here, the pace of mankind will not stop here. Please take my expectations with you and go further. .
If you can leave, you don't have to risk taking me with you, just let me blend into the stars and sleep under the sky forever.
Please apologize to my parents and wife for me. What I owe in this life will be repaid in the next life. "
"Taguchi! ”
Xincheng’s lips were trembling, his voice was trembling, and he was overwhelmed by endless sadness. The image of this young man who was passionate about aerospace emerged in his mind.
He He is the youngest crew member of Lomus 3. He majored in space medicine in college and got extremely good grades. He was favored by many companies before graduation and was given generous conditions.
But he gave up the high salary and instead chose the hard-working Space Development Agency and participated in the selection of astronauts. With diligence and hard work, he defeated many competitors and became a member of Lomus 3.
Xincheng once asked him, and his answer was that he yearned for the stars and wanted to see the distant scenery, the wonders of the universe that ordinary people could not see.
On weekdays, he always takes the initiative to do things, and also uses his humor and joy to adjust the dull atmosphere of the voyage.
But such a positive and optimistic person who cherishes life did something that Xincheng should have done but could not bear to do, no, did not dare to do -
Help the two suffering people and relief from the tormented crew.
Then he ended his life.
And this is the most painful thing for Xincheng. If he had done it earlier and decisively, Taguchi would not have to continue to take care and treat them, so that he would be infected and forced to kill himself.
I bear a great deal of responsibility for Taguchi's death.
It was my own hesitation, my own timidity, my own cowardice that led to the loss of a young life.
“I killed him.”
Xincheng murmured to himself, opened his mouth, and tears flowed down involuntarily. He knelt on the ground with his legs, crying in pain.
There was no heart-rending shouting, only violent shaking, which made people feel his grief even more. Asuka Shin couldn't help but have red eyes, clenched his fists, and his heart was filled with anger, anger towards the person who caused all this.
It is obviously a happy and exciting journey to the universe, why do we have to face such a separation between life and death?
Does the universe have to have so much malice?
No matter which way you look at it, the crash of Lomus No. 3 here was done deliberately by a certain guy. In other words, the loss of these three living lives was also caused by this guy.
No matter what the other party’s purpose is, even if it is to save the universe, it cannot cover up the murder of three young people, not to mention that this guy is full of malice.
Asuka Xin, who was about to burst out of anger from his eyes, clenched his teeth together and stared around with red eyes, full of murderous intent.
Chiba Cheng stepped forward, bent down and picked up the Brest pistol that fell on the ground, gently brushed off the soil on it, and said: "Tears can't solve the problem, nor can Avenge them, cheer up, New City, find the guy who caused this, and then—
Shoot him with this gun.”
Chiba Makoto said, turning around and handing Taguchi's Brest pistol to Shinjo, who was immersed in pain and sorrow.
"Captain Chiba, be careful." Yumimura Ryo wanted to warn him to be careful about infection, but he realized Chiba Makoto's other identity after the words were spoken, and he swallowed the rest of the words.
“Although I don’t know what this thing is, its activity will be lost when the host dies. I think it was because Taguchi discovered this that he finally made the decision to use his life to block the source of infection. "
"But there?" Yumimura raised his hand and pointed at the temporary tent, but he felt that he shouldn't raise his hand. He pointed back and forth like this, which showed a little disrespect for the deceased, so he hurriedly Hands down.
"Because the two of them were infected on the first day, and Taguchi only showed symptoms of infection today," Shinjo choked and said, kneeling like this, picking up the paper with Taguchi's last words from the ground He picked it up, folded it in half, and carefully stuffed it into the innermost part of the clothes. Then he grabbed the Brest pistol and wiped the tears from his face with his other hand.
Although there is still pain in the eyes and tears in the corners of the eyes, Xincheng's heart is burning like a flame. The boundless hatred has caused the fire of revenge to burn throughout Xincheng's body, making Xincheng, who was still a little weak before, At this moment, my whole body is full of strength.
“We are late.”
Xincheng shook his head and said: “From the moment we stepped out of the earth and set foot on the starry sky, we have already realized that we will always Where will it stop one day, but"
Xincheng said He couldn't help but clenched his fists, holding Taguchi's Brest pistol tightly, and almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "They shouldn't stop here like this."
Emperors die like emperors, and adventurers die like adventurers.
Their fate should be to die on the way to the sea of stars, rather than die in this trap.
Yes, it is a trap.
Xincheng saw clearly and thought clearly that this was a huge trap.
Just like those hunters on earth, they will set up very confusing traps to attract prey, and then hunt them.
First cut off the communication of Lomus 3, and then disguise the communication of the headquarters, so that Lomus 3 can actively jump into the trap.
