Chapter 60
The probe is much smaller than the spaceship, and its travel route is very erratic. It basically arrived there under the dual effects of power plant and gravity. Some places on the road are densely packed with meteorites, which is very unfriendly to the spaceship.
Fortunately, there are cameras all around it, and the surrounding areas are recorded. By studying the video, they planned a more favorable route.
At this moment, the internal channel is quiet, and the atmosphere looks a little solemn.
However, it is too difficult to expect swimming whales to be serious, and gagging does not affect their concentration.
What's more, after so many years, they have already accepted the reality.According to Fengdong's temper, I'm afraid he doesn't want them to pick up people with a sad face.
Old Qian Tut Tut said: "People on the nearby planets are really not particular, they dump all garbage here."
One of them interjected: "This happened several years ago. After it was rectified, no one dared to dump it. Do you think there are any valuable things?"
Old Qian said: "The valuable ones have been recycled long ago."
His tone was flamboyant: "Besides, I'm not short of money now. Before I leave, I finally went to the casino to splurge."
Everyone went "huh" on the spot.
The casino is a place where money can be made quickly, but it is also a place where people are cheated.Lao Qian has always yearned for it, but he has self-knowledge and knows that he can't play by other people's rules, so he never spends money there, but he didn't expect to make an exception this time.
They couldn't help but ask, "How much did you lose?"
Old Qian said dissatisfied: "Pay attention to your words, how could I lose? I won 300 yuan!"
Xin Mingshui said, "Only three hundred?"
The old money made sense: "It's not bad to win [-] in a place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones for the first time, isn't it? I have a good meal with this money."
Another person said: "It's really good. I had a good meal before I came here. I was always afraid to try Jingyue Mo's signature extra spicy. I tried it this time and it was exactly as you said. feel!"
"I didn't eat food, I went to the zoo to feed the fox... Ah, the fox is so cute."
"I finished the archaeological paper that I had been stuck for a long time, and it is indeed me."
"I took some time to go home."
"I also……"
One day before they set off, they adjusted their time. Except for a few who were in charge of checking the plan, the rest were free to move about.
But at this moment, they talked more and more wrongly, and the channel fell into a brief silence.Everyone thought at the same time: They all did something meaningful before leaving, so this is too unlucky!
A certain young couple almost followed in their footsteps, but luckily they stopped in time.
The initiator of the topic, Lao Qian, opened his mouth in the dead silence, and found a point to give them respect: "It's pretty good, it's not like some dog-blooded TV dramas, just say a word and then do what you want, it's all a flag, people probably Can't come back."
Song Yan: "..."
Xie Chenyu: "..."
Old Qian asked, "You didn't tell me, did you?"
A group of people hurriedly followed Wan Zun: "No, no, who said that!"
The people from Xingchen echoed: "Nor do we..."
The two talked and saw the boss and the proprietress who were extremely silent, and the words in their mouths suddenly turned around: "... right?"
Song Yan didn't want to talk to them.
Xie Chenyu spoke naturally, and said with a smile: "Life is not a TV series, how can you take it seriously?"
Everyone who realized something in an instant: "..."
Good guy, it's full of all kinds of flags.
Why do you little couples like to make such an agreement!
Everyone laughed dryly: "Well, that's right..."
Lao Qian didn't want to fill in the hole anymore, so as not to get more and more confused today, he simply started another topic: "Oh, by the way, Shuishui, why did you continue with the big star for another half a year?"
Xin Mingshui said lightly, "I lost the card game."
The person from Xingchen couldn't hold back: "He provoked you again?"
Xin Mingshui said, "No."
People in the stars think are you sure?
The whale swimmers knew that if Xin Mingshui had really tried the aggressive method, he would definitely think about it afterwards. He said that if he didn't have it, he didn't, so he asked, "Did he tempt you with a bet?"
Xin Mingshui gave a "hmm".
Old Qian was shocked: "What bet, his entire net worth?"
Xin Mingshui refused to answer this question: "You can talk about something else."
Everyone naturally didn't want to let go of the opportunity to gossip.
They were about to guess in the direction of no lower limit when they encountered multiple meteorite belts.
A group of people looked straight and immediately ended their chat.
Fu Yunjing's spaceship is at the front.
He quickly made a judgment and said, "Go around from below."
Although they all carried weapons, the journey was far away, so they saved as much as they could.
The three spaceships changed their course and sank one after another, passing through layers of meteorite belts. When they were about to rush out, they couldn't find a gap, so Fu Yunjing ordered a cannonball and successfully opened the gap.
As a result, as soon as they drove out of the meteorite fragments that were blown into clouds, they saw a distortion of space head-on.
——It is a space wormhole that is about to form.
Fu Yunjing narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Wormhole, get out of the way."
He said turning to get out of the way, and the two spaceships in the back tacitly increased their speed at the same time, and then drove away from the gravitational range.
The last one was Lao Qian's spaceship, which was about to be dragged in, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Wipe it, it's impossible to guard against."
This is also the terrifying aspect of the Thorn Vortex.
And like this complex meteorite belt, I don't know how many there are in front of me.
When humans first started to explore this star field, some people proposed to send warships to conduct indiscriminate bombardment, blasting all visible meteorite belts into shards, so as to remove some obstacles, at least the spaceship would no longer be so difficult to move.
But they soon realized that they were naive, because the celestial bodies here are disintegrating at any time to produce new meteorite belts, and the unstable wormholes will also bring out strange fragments, which cannot be blasted at all.
Even if they are barely blasted into slag, they will form a huge dust cloud under the action of gravity, and the spaceship will also be scrapped if it hits it, so in the end, it will be abandoned.
This time, all the top mercenaries came, and their mentality was extremely stable.
The thrill just now wasn't enough to make them nervous. Seeing that there were some small meteorite belts in front of them, they quickly chatted again.
One of them asked, "Ah Shui, did the big star bet on getting married?"
Xin Mingshui snorted: "If you want to fight one-on-one, just say so."
Everyone had an epiphany, realized that this was close to the truth, and shut their mouths wisely.
They immediately changed to another gossip partner: "Hey, look at the big cough...Boss Chen."
Xie Chenyu automatically ignored the key words in it, and responded, "Why?"
The whale swimmer asked: "You weren't a mercenary boss during the Mozhe incident, were you? Tell everyone about your struggle history?"
Old Qian interjected: "If possible, tell me about the Mozhe incident."
Xie Chenyu was very happy: "Okay."
A group of people chatted while flying, and they were immediately relieved to learn that Xingchen and the others had stayed under Sunder's nose for more than half a month after killing the man.
"You should let that bastard know about this before he dies, and make him mad!"
"Even if he didn't know, he must have been mad at the time. I still remember that he asked at the auction if Xingchen did it, but he didn't believe it."
"Yes, I remember that too."
"Speaking of which, you went on a blind date with Yanyan after killing someone? Yanyan, what was he like at that time?"
Song Yan saved face for the top students, didn't mention the eye-catching clothes, and said, "Looks like a literary youth."
Old Qian asked curiously, "What about you?"
Xie Chenyu noticed that Song Yan glanced at him, swallowed his "love brain", and said with a smile: "Introverted and timid."
Everyone couldn't imagine it, and felt a little regretful: "If we had known earlier, we should have gone to your wedding to see."
A boss and a rookie, each pretending to be married, it's a pity not to watch this scene.
Xie Chenyu said with a smile: "I have an idea to hold another wedding, this time you can participate."
Song Yan was startled, but did not refute.
People from Youjing and Xingchen all agree, after all, marriage is an important day, how can they miss it as relatives and friends?
"Okay, let's prepare when we go back, and we will help."
"...Can we go out and say this again?"
As soon as the words fell, they encountered multiple meteorite belts again.
This time it was bigger than the previous group, Fu Yunjing changed lanes to avoid it in advance, but still encountered some of them.
He didn't find a suitable gap, and immediately ordered to fire.
Song Yan's spaceship followed closely behind.
Just when they were about to pass through, the space began to become unstable again, huge waves swayed away, and a meteorite the size of a spaceship crashed towards them.
Old Qian could see clearly behind them, his face changed slightly: "Yanyan!"
Song Yan and Xie Chenyu immediately operated the spaceship to dodge, and said, "There is a wormhole, change your position."
Laoqian hurriedly climbed up, blasted another way, saw their spaceship had come out, and asked, "Are you all right?"
Song Yan said: "It's okay, I just scratched a little bit."
Lao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
Fu Yunjing's heart tightened after being shouted at just now, and he felt relieved when he heard this sentence.
The rest of the people also let out a sigh of relief, and did not dare to say anything about the topic of "going back".
The three spaceships continued to move forward, and after a few hours, the weapon inventory of Fu Yunjing's spaceship dropped to 50%.
For the sake of safety, they changed positions according to the plan, and Lao Qian and his spaceship went up.Fu Yunjing drove the mecha over to join them, and stood on it to continue commanding.
There was no danger along the way, although there were scratches on several spaceships, but at any rate, they all had to be intact, and finally arrived at the destination.
I saw the wind-moving spaceship hovering silently, silently.
As it got closer, the details that were not in the picture became clear one by one. The tail was not only dented, but also had a hole broken.
Everyone kept quiet, and as agreed in advance, two people alighted from each spaceship.
Song Yan's ship is naturally him and Xie Chenyu.
The two handed over the location to Xingchen, one put on a smart spacesuit, the other drove a mecha escort, opened the door and flew over.
As soon as he reached the gap, Song Yan stopped suddenly.
Xie Chenyu took a closer look, his pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw something floating in the corner of the gap, it was... a broken leg.
Judging from the clothes above, it looks like the combat uniform of a swimming whale.
The others who followed saw it too, and held their breath at the same time.
The next moment, Song Yan rushed in quickly, and the other two people in spacesuits quickly followed behind.
Xie Chenyu wanted to follow, but the gap was so small that the mech couldn't get in at all, so he could only wait outside with his heart hanging, listening intently to the movement in the channel.
He knew that Song Yan was mentally prepared, but what he saw with his own eyes was different after all.
What's more, when a person is in a vacuum environment, the water in the body will evaporate quickly, and from the broken leg, it can be inferred that the situation at the time was not good, and it may be what it is inside.
The internal channel was terribly dead silent, and everyone was waiting for the result.
Song Yan and the others had already searched the tail position at this time, and began to search forward.
The power plant of the spaceship was destroyed, and the surroundings were in darkness. They turned on the lights on the space suits and searched all the way to the cockpit, not letting go of every corner.
The three people who came in were Song Yan, Fu Yunjing, and Xin Mingshui. The first two never talked much, so Xin Mingshui didn't open his mouth either.
The people outside waited for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore.
Old Qian's voice sounded on the channel, very lightly: "Have you seen the boss?"
Xin Mingshui said, "No one."
The rest were startled: "What?"
The three returned to the gap and looked at the broken leg again. Fu Yunjing said, "There is no one inside."
The crowd was silent.
No one, it's likely that the spaceship has thrown them out under the force of gravity.
Maybe it hit a high-speed meteorite belt, and its body was smashed, or maybe it encountered a particle storm, and I don't know where it was swept into.
Xie Chenyu watched Song Yanpiao go over and hug the broken leg, and his heart choked: "Yanyan."
Song Yan said "hmm".
He had thought that the spaceship had crashed into the wormhole with his parents, making them unable to return for a while.
He also thought that the spaceship was crashed, and anything could happen in such a bad environment like the thorny vortex. If he was not quick, he might not see them.
He even thought about whether it would be too late when he could come, and he couldn't even collect a corpse for them.
Lao Qian was also floating around in his mech, and he didn't want to see such a scene, so he tried his best to make up for it: "Then what, maybe it's not from the wind, but whose is it..."
Fu Yunjing tried hard to calm down, and suddenly said: "I remember the boss and the others also brought mechas at that time."
Everyone looked at him together and didn't feel much better.
The mechas of this era are not like those shown in sci-fi movies against the sky. They don't have enough firepower and power to survive in the whirlpool of thorns.
Xie Chenyu answered while observing Song Yan's state: "If I only have the mech left to use, it should stop on a nearby planet."
Fu Yunjing said, "Check the galaxies around here."
Decades have passed, and the spacecraft has long drifted far away.
The whale swimmer searched neatly and said, "There is a star ahead, and it will take more than two hours to drive there."
After checking the conditions of the three spaceships, they found that the energy was sufficient, and they unanimously decided to take a look.
Song Yan's spaceship carried an ice coffin, so he put the severed limbs in it.
Without the cover of the space suit, Xie Chenyu was finally able to see his appearance clearly. Seeing that the corners of his eyes were red, he pulled him into his arms and hugged him.
Song Yan buried his head into his neck and didn't say a word.
Xie Chenyu's heart ached so badly, he reached into his hair and rubbed his head, and asked softly, "Go out first... okay?"
Song Yan's voice was muffled: "Yes."
Xie Chenyu handed over the driving task to his subordinates, instead of returning to the cockpit, he hugged someone to find a place to sit and quietly accompanied him.
More than two hours later, the spacecraft arrived near the star and found that there were only three pitiful planets revolving around it. Then it found the only planet that seemed to have life, and fell down.
The planet is not big, except for rocks and deserts, there are a few sporadic water sources and forests, but they are all natural scenery, with no signs of human activities at all.
They flew for a while and stopped on a flat desert. Then each spaceship left one person, and the rest all boarded the mechs, divided the responsible areas, and set off quickly.
The vortex of thorns should not stay for a long time. They all knew that if no one could be found on this planet, they would return home, so the search was extremely serious.
Song Yan and Xie Chenyu are naturally in the same group.
The two searched for two water sources in a row, and when they reached the third one, Xie Chenyu glanced at something out of the corner of his eye and said, "Wait a minute."
Song Yan was about to leave when he heard the words and looked at him, saw him lowered to a big rock covered with vines, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xie Chenyu said: "It looks like the outline of a cockpit..."
While speaking, he manipulated the mecha to tear off the vines on it, revealing the mottled mecha shell.
Song Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly followed, stepped out of the mech and ran over.
Xie Chenyu didn't get off the mecha, but stood nearby and guarded him, so as not to be too late to respond to an emergency.
Song Yan stepped forward to check, and saw that the inside was already rotten, and the corners were bent and sunken, which was the mark of being smashed.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, wanting to check the rest of the place, when he suddenly heard the noise coming from far and near, and turned his head abruptly.
Xie Chenyu looked over at the same time.
I saw a tall man running out of the forest.
He is dark-skinned, wearing a grass skirt, holding a sharp fork in one hand, and leading a blackened animal with a bird squatting on his head.
It is the wind.
