Chapter 709

A series of dense, dull explosions were transmitted to the ears along the void protective suit, as if some parts of the bottom of the base had begun to collapse, and there was no time for people to hesitate.

What, you said to go together?

They wished Alyssa would die, how could they come to rescue people.

The gas reserves in everyone's backpacks were already very low, and the shuttle was still a little far away, so everyone had to speed up again with the oxygen that was approaching the red line.

Alyssa took the lead, rushed to the front, and grabbed the handrail on the outer shell of the shuttle.

She felt that her brain had never been so fast. She quickly observed, found a baffle to open, and pulled the lever below.

The tail cabin behind the shuttle opened up and down, and the crew members behind her cheered a little and rushed in.

Alyssa followed in, and as expected, there was no oxygen inside.

Because metals will oxidize, most shuttles will open all the hatches directly when not in use, and release all the gas so that they can be preserved almost permanently in the void.

Alyssa tried to slow down her breathing, and the more tense the situation was, the more she could not increase the oxygen consumption.

After all, most of them had to rely on the oxygen that was close to the red line to fly back. It would be too unfair to suffocate 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 it was not important now. Alyssa rushed through the living area and went straight to the cockpit at the front.

Even if it was an antique from more than a thousand years ago, the basic operation mode had 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 don't you leave?"

"This thing rejected me!"

You need a key to drive a car, let alone a shuttle.

Alyssa has used many methods to try to bypass the verification and directly ignite the engine. Her skillful skills can make professional "car thieves" ashamed.

But the shuttle was still motionless, and even the display screen did not light up.

Upon hearing this, Long planned to remove the baffle under the cockpit and ignite the engine by short-circuiting. Although this would make the shuttle uncontrollable, it would at least be able to fly out.

Before she could do anything, everyone saw the exaggerated arc of electricity stretching out behind the shuttle through the gap in the closing cargo hold. The originally solid ground was collapsing downwards, as if there was a terrible monster below that swallowed everything.

There was no time.

Alyssa was quick-witted and quickly took out the octagonal metal plate 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.

It worked!

Without even the leisure to cheer, Long next to him immediately opened the throttle to the maximum.

The engine roared silently in the void, and the brilliant blue and white light 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 seemed to be torn apart by the huge gravity, and turned into powder and sucked into the center.

"The self-destruction program of these guys is actually a void hole. Are they crazy!"

"They have been dead for thousands of years! But we are still alive. Watch the road!"

Long's complaints effectively made Alyssa shift her attention to the front, and she moved the joystick to avoid several floating meteorites.

If it hits it head-on, it will become a small spark decorating the dark void.

–--——----

The shuttle approached the starship parked above the star ring, entered from the hangar entrance on the side, and landed in the airtight compartment.

The conveyor belt transported the shuttle, and passed through two gates before entering the hangar inside the starship.

A group of ground crews came up quickly with tools in their hands, but before that, the shuttle's hatch opened, and Alyssa pulled off her mask and took a deep breath of the oily air in the hangar.

When they approached the starship, the last bit of air had been used up, but before entering the hangar, there was no air, and the people on the shuttle didn't dare to take off their masks, and they almost suffocated to death.

Waving her hand to indicate that she didn't need oxygen, Alyssa picked up a communicator on the technician:

"Bridge, this is Captain Alyssa, I order the engine to start, one-quarter ship speed, let's get out of this fucking star field."

The void hole of the base's self-destruction program is a small man-made black hole. When it absorbs enough matter, it will explode like a supernova.

The location where the starship is docked is not safe now, and it 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 if you go full speed.

According to Alyssa's experience, it takes 30 to 50 minutes for the void hole to reach a critical state, which is more than enough time.

The technicians transported the wounded in the warehouse and sent them to the infirmary for treatment. The rest of the people gathered around the shuttle and marveled.

This shuttle can also be worth a lot of money, at least it can make up for their losses.

"Long, how do you feel?"

"Not very 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, the main body is the crystal ball on her head, and the body can be replaced at any time.

Wearing a protective suit is not to protect her, but to protect the delicate sensors on her mechanical body from interference from invisible cosmic rays.

However, it may be due to the previous explosion, or it may be to save Alyssa, a crack appeared on Long's crystal head.

"Then you should rest first, I will take care of the rest."

"That's the only way."

Long said, and the orange light in the crystal ball-like head no longer fluctuated, but quietly suspended inside like a breathing light, slowly emitting light on and off.

Silicon crystal people are immune to all diseases, toxins and even cosmic rays targeting organic bodies, but the disadvantage is that their heads are relatively fragile and they are prone to coma due to strong vibrations, which is specifically manifested as cracks on the crystal ball.

But don't worry, in this case, Long only needs to rest for a few days, and the cracks on his head will automatically recover. Silicon crystal people are still very capable of survival.

Alyssa dragged Long's body out of the cockpit, signaled the technician to repair the shuttle, and then took off something like a folding cage from Long's protective suit.

After opening the mask, Alyssa opened the folding metal cage and grabbed Long's body into the cage like scooping ice cream.

The body can be replaced at any time, and there is no need to go to the medical room, but to go to the maintenance room to check if there is any damage. The head of the body is placed in a cage-shaped controller and hung on Alyssa's waist.

I clearly typed the chapter title in this picture, I don't know why it didn't show up_(:з」∠)_
