Chapter 709
A series of fine, dull explosions were transmitted to the ears along the void protective suit, as if some parts of the bottom layer of the base had begun to collapse, and there was no time for people to hesitate now.
What, you mean peers?
They wanted Alyssa to die, so how could they come to save people.
The gas levels in everyone's backpacks were already very low, and the shuttle was still a little far away, so everyone had to use the oxygen that was already approaching the red line to speed up their pace again.
Alyssa took the lead and rushed to the front, grabbing the armrest on the outer shell of the shuttle.
She felt that her mind had never been so fast. She took a quick look, found a flap to open, and pulled the lever below.
The tail cabin at the rear of the shuttle opened up and down, and the crew members following her gave a small cheer and hurriedly poured in.
Alyssa also followed in, and as expected, there was no oxygen inside.
Since metal will oxidize, most shuttles will open all the hatches directly when not in use to release all the gas so that they can be stored in the void almost permanently.
Alyssa tried her best to slow down her breathing, and this tense situation could not aggravate oxygen consumption.
After all, most of them had to rely on oxygen that was approaching the red line to fly back. It would be too unfair to suffocate to death on the way home.
Alyssa rushed into the rear cargo hold and opened the airtight cabin. This small shuttle actually had a living area for four people, but that was not important now. Alyssa rushed through the living area and reached the cockpit at the front. .
Even though it is an antique from more than a thousand years ago, the basic operation mode has not changed much. Alyssa sat in the driver's seat and quickly clicked on the panel with her fingers to make the final preparations before takeoff.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"This thing rejected me!"
You need a key to drive a car, let alone a shuttle.
Alyssa has used many methods to bypass the verification and directly ignite the engine. Her skills can put professional car thieves to shame.
But there was still no movement on the shuttle, and even the display screen didn't light up.
Long Wenyan planned to remove the baffle under the cockpit and ignite the engine through a short circuit. Although this would make the shuttle uncontrollable, at least it would be able to fly out.
Before she could take action, everyone passed through the gap in the closing cargo warehouse and saw an exaggerated arc of electricity spreading out behind the shuttle. The originally solid ground was collapsing downwards, as if there was a terrifying monster below swallowing everything. Got in.
There is no time left.
Alyssa suddenly came to her senses and quickly took out the octagonal metal plate she found under the main console and put it on the oscilloscope in the cockpit.
Almost at the same time, all the instruments and buttons were lit up.
Done!
Without even having time to cheer, Long beside him immediately opened the throttle to the maximum.
The engine roared silently in the void, and the brilliant blue-white aura was like a pair of hands, pushing the shuttle to fly away from the apron quickly, like a flash of light in the endless darkness.
Alyssa glanced at the rearview mirror on the left side of the cockpit. She saw that the base excavated from the asteroid collapsed inwards. Everything on the periphery was torn apart by huge gravity and turned into powder. Things are sucked in toward the center.
"The self-destruction program of these guys is actually a void. Are they crazy?"
"They have been dead for thousands of years! But we are still alive, watch the road!"
Long's complaints effectively caused Alyssa to shift her attention to the front, and she moved the joystick to avoid several floating meteorites. If this were hit head-on, it would turn into small sparks decorating the dark void.

The shuttle approached the starship docked above the star ring, entered from the side hangar entrance, and landed in the airtight compartment.
The conveyor belt transported the shuttle, passed through two more gates, and then entered the hangar inside the starship.
A group of ground crewmen quickly gathered around holding tools, but before that, the door of the shuttle opened. Alyssa pulled off her mask and took a deep breath of the oil-smelling air in the hangar.
The last bit of air was used up when we approached the starship, but before entering the hangar, there was no air. The people on the shuttle did not dare to take off their masks, and they were almost suffocated to death.
Waving her hand to indicate that she did not need oxygen, Alyssa picked up a communicator on the mechanic's body and said: "Bridge, this is Captain Alyssa. I command the engine to start and move forward at a quarter of the ship's speed. Let’s get out of this fucking planet.”
The void hole in the base's self-destruction program is a small man-made black hole similar to one that will explode like a supernova when it absorbs enough material.
The location where the starship is parked is not safe now and must be kept away.
As for the quarter ship speed instead of full speed, it is because there are many asteroids near the star ring, and it is easy to hit them head-on by moving at full speed.
Based on Alyssa's experience, it takes 30 to 50 minutes for the void to reach critical state, which is more than enough time.
The mechanics carried away all the wounded in the cargo warehouse and sent them to the infirmary for treatment. The remaining people gathered around the shuttle and marveled.
This shuttle is also worth a lot of money, which can at least make up for their losses.
"Takashi, how are you feeling?"
"It's not good. I feel a little dizzy when I look at everything."
Long is a silicon crystal person. She can even be directly exposed to the void environment. Her body is the crystal ball on her head, and her body can be replaced at any time.
Wearing protective clothing is not to protect her, but to protect the precision sensors on her mechanical body from interference from invisible cosmic rays.
But perhaps due to the previous explosion, or perhaps to save Alyssa, a crack appeared on Long's crystal head.
"Then you should rest first, and I will take care of the rest."
"That's all it can do."
As Long said that, in his crystal ball-like head, the orange light no longer fluctuated, but floated quietly inside like a breathing lamp, slowly glowing brightly and darkly.
Silicon crystal people are immune to all diseases, toxins, and even cosmic rays that target organisms. However, the disadvantage is that their brains are relatively brittle and can easily fall into coma when exposed to strong shocks. The specific manifestation is that cracks appear on the crystal ball.
But don't worry. In this case, as long as Long takes a good rest for a few days, the crack on his head will heal automatically. The survivability of the silicon crystal man is still very strong.
Alyssa dragged Long's body out of the cockpit, signaled the technician to repair the shuttle, and then took off what looked like a foldable cage from Long's protective suit.
Opening the mask, Alyssa opened the folding metal cage, just like scooping out an ice cream ball, and grabbed Long's body into the cage.
The body can be replaced at any time. There is no need to go to the medical room. Instead, you have to go to the maintenance room to see if there is any damage. The head of the main body is placed in a cage-shaped controller and hung on Alyssa's waist.
