Interstellar Super Empire

Chapter 101 Surviving a near-death

"Let's go." Zhong Yun said suddenly, "I will never wait to die in place."

Zhang Xiao nodded silently.

Although the probabilities of waiting in place and searching in flight are similar, there is an essential difference between the two options. Waiting is passive. As time goes by, the desperate suffocation can drive people crazy.The search is positive, though equally hopeless.But Zhong Yun would rather die while actively looking for hope than passively waiting to die in place.

Seemingly looking away, Zhong Yun reversed his previous silence and started to talk more. He asked Zhang Xiao, "Are you a virgin?"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized, "It's not long ago."

"Who was your first..."

…………

In the vast universe, a negligibly small life-saving capsule is sailing alone. In order to save energy, the life-saving capsule cleverly uses the gravitational force between planets to fly, and only starts the engine when it deviates from the orbit.

One month later, two months later...

The hope of being rescued became increasingly slim, but Zhong Yun and Zhang Xiao still did not give up, and they would not give up hope until the last moment.

Five months have passed, and the energy of the rescue capsule is running low. Zhong Yun estimates that it can last for ten days at most.At the same time, the food was almost consumed.

They were completely in dire straits.

"You shouldn't have saved me." After eating the last high-energy compressed food, Zhang Xiao suddenly sighed.

"Finally, I don't have to eat such an unpalatable thing." Zhong Yun could still laugh.

"If you were the only one, you might be able to survive until the day you are rescued." Zhang Xiao looked at him seriously.

Zhong Yun looked at the energy meter whose value was beating in the hundreds, and smiled slightly, "If you weren't here, I might not be able to persist."

Zhang Xiao was silent.In the vast universe, the most terrifying thing is not despair, but the feeling of loneliness when you are the only one left in the universe. You can't hear any sound except your own heartbeat.

In the whole world, there is only silence, which makes you suffocate and makes you crazy.

It is undeniable that the existence of the other party is the biggest reason why the two can persist for five months.If there is only one person, Zhang Xiao doesn't think she can persist until now.

After another eight days, hunger and thirst had become their worst enemies.Although there was training in the base to endure hunger and thirst, it was close to the limit.

In order to reduce energy consumption, Zhong Yun fell into a state of suspended animation.But Zhang Xiao lost consciousness.

Suddenly, the rescue cabin made a beeping sound, indicating that the engine light went dark.The remaining energy can only maintain the air and temperature in the rescue cabin.

According to inertia, the rescue capsule flew in the universe for half a day. Suddenly, a gravitational force took it away from its original orbit. fly away.

When entering the atmosphere, a strong vibration woke Zhong Yun up, and his heartbeat and body temperature slowly returned to normal.

"Entering the atmosphere, please prepare for landing..." The system rang again.

Suddenly, several straps protruded from the seat, fixing their bodies on the seat.

bang.

Amid the strong shock, Zhong Yun opened his eyes, and the hatch slowly opened. Seeing this scene, Zhong Yun's heart, which had just returned to normal, almost stopped beating. This time it was really over.

After waiting for a while, the expected feeling of suffocation did not come, Zhong Yun still couldn't believe it, could it be that he was saved?
After a while, Zhong Yun gradually accepted this fact. With trembling hands, he untied the rope several times, but still could not untie it.After a while, he untied the rope and stood up. He lost his balance for a moment and stumbled. He held on to the bulkhead to keep from falling. His body was too weak.

Holding on to the arm of the cabin, Zhong Yun walked to the cabin door one step at a time. A wave of heat rushed towards his face, followed by a familiar smell of dry dust.

here is……

Zhong Yun poked his head out, a dazzling light shone on him, and he quickly closed his eyes.Although his eyes were itchy and painful, he felt nothing at all.He stood there blankly.

His heart seemed to explode, and the joy of being reborn surged through his limbs, which could not dissipate for a long time.

Zhong Yun just stood there in a daze. It took an unknown amount of time before he was awakened by the burning sensation on his face. He opened his eyes, and it turned out that the sun had already slanted in through the open hatch.

Zhong Yun poked his head out from the hatch and looked outside. His eyes were golden, extending to the end of the horizon. The shining gold seemed to be covered with endless gold like an ocean.

As far as the eye can see, the air is distorted due to the high temperature, and the scenery in the distance comes alive and changes.

desert?Zhong Yun's heart sank.God, you're not playing with me like this!

At the end of the day, they stumbled into this planet suitable for human habitation.He had just tasted the joy of escaping from death, and before he had time to savor it, he immediately fell into the gate of hell again.

Even if his body was in the best condition, he would not be able to survive in the desert for long without water and food.What's more, his body is so weak now.

Unless, this rescue capsule can still fly.

Zhong Yun climbed out of the flight cabin, and a threatening heat wave swept over him. He didn't feel it when he stood in the heat-insulated rescue cabin just now, but after he got out of the cabin, he felt the unusual heat. The simple action of crawling out of the cabin made his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

His feet sank a little on the soft sand, and when he stepped on it, he sank a little more, and the hot sand covered his boots.

He took a few steps forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The rolling heat wave was unbearable. The air he breathed in seemed to be burning, burning his trachea.

Zhong Yun only felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly opened the protective clothing on his body. The protective clothing was not different from ordinary clothes, and it became a little bloated after opening.The protective suit not only has radiation protection function, but also has a small built-in circulation system, which can last for half an hour in outer space.

The protective clothing has good heat insulation performance, and people don't feel stuffy when staying inside.Zhong Yun looked left and right, but he could not see the edge of the desert.

Turning around, Zhong Yun's eyes froze.

Behind the rescue cabin is a sand ditch hundreds of meters long, which was plowed when the rescue cabin landed. Not far from the end of the sand ditch is a "forest".

That's right, it's the "forest". Zhong Yun looked at it several times before he was sure.

With a soft foot, Zhong Yun sat down on the sand, fate did not abandon me.

Suddenly, Zhong Yun remembered something, got up anxiously from the ground, and rushed to the rescue cabin, because the opened protective suit was too cumbersome, and was knocked down twice.He simply put it away.

Climbing neatly into the rescue cabin, Zhong Yun saw Zhang Xiao, who was unknown, and took a breath. Fortunately, he was still alive.Urgently helped him untie the rope tied to his body, laid him down on the ground, opened his eyelids and looked, his pupils began to slacken.

Save him quickly.Zhong Yun knew that there was no need to delay, so he picked up Zhang Xiao and turned around with difficulty.Suddenly, Zhong Yun's hair stood on end, and an extremely dangerous feeling rose from his heart.

At the cabin door, a sharp thorn shining with blue phosphorescence quietly stretched out.

Half an hour after arriving on this unknown planet, the weak Zhong Yun and the unconscious Zhang Xiao became prisoners of a group of savages.

They were indeed savages, all tall and tall, all wearing only a green apron to cover their vitals.

In appearance, these are all human beings, with pale green hair and darker outlines of the features.The long green hair on the arm looks a little scary.

Zhong Yun was held hostage by two savages who were a head taller than him, while Zhang Xiao was carried on the shoulders of another savage like a child.

Just now Zhong Yun thought he was doomed, and with the belief that killing one would not pay, but killing two would make money, he launched an attack on these natives first. Unfortunately, his body was too weak, and he was restrained just after killing one.

What surprised Zhong Yun was that these natives did not kill him, but directly captured him.He was a little puzzled, these natives looked like uncivilized people, why should they be captured?Is it a slave?
What's even more exaggerated is that a dozen or so natives worked together to carry a life-saving cabin with a floor height of nearly 300 square meters (the last chapter was wrong, it was not ten cubic meters, it should be more than [-] cubic meters, correct it here ).As if they had won a trophy, everyone screamed with excitement.

No matter what, being alive is the greatest luck.Zhong Yun was already numb to the several times of narrow escapes, which made him more convinced that he would not die so easily.

Perhaps he thought Zhong Yun was walking too slowly. A few minutes later, Zhong Yun was held by two people next to each of his arms, and his feet were suspended in the air. Fly like walking on flat ground.

Zhong Yun took the opportunity to rest, but he was not tired, but hungry, no matter how much he rested, he still didn't have much strength.Even the energy in the body is almost empty.

A group of people walked for half an hour, and the "forest" could already be seen clearly.In fact, Zhong Yun didn't know if it was a tree or some other plant.

He had never seen this kind of plant before, and his first impression was that it was tall.From a distance, it looks like it is connected by one umbrella after another. The top one is the smallest, and the further you go down, the bigger the umbrella.

These "umbrella trees" are relatively sparse at the edge of the desert, and become denser as you go inside. As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of ​​green.

Zhong Yun turned his head and looked, behind him was an endless golden desert.There seems to be an invisible dividing line that separates the golden ocean from the green ocean, forming two worlds, one side is the desert representing death, and the other side is the forest full of vitality.

And they are right on the dividing line.The creations of nature are really unpredictable. On this planet, there is such a wonder.

After walking for another ten minutes, the group of people had approached the "Umbrella Forest", and only then did Zhong Yun truly see the true face of the "Umbrella Tree".Height is his most intuitive feeling. Almost every umbrella tree he can see is more than 20 meters high, and the bottom circle of the umbrella tree is ten meters above the ground.

Entering the umbrella forest, Zhong Yun felt the refreshing coolness. These umbrella trees are the best shade.The layers of "umbrella" on it block the hot sun.Bringing shade to the world.

In the woods, umbrella trees are not densely packed, and there is only one tree every ten meters. The huge umbrella-shaped leaves can cover an area of ​​about ten meters.Walking in the tree, it looks very empty.

After walking in the woods for an unknown amount of time, Zhong Yun was very worried about Zhang Xiao's condition. His stamina was not as strong as his own, and he didn't know how long he could last.

However, because of the angle, he couldn't see the native who was carrying Zhang Xiao, so he could only be anxious.Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Hey, how is my friend? I'm asking you something. If there's anything wrong with him, I won't let you go..."

A burst of millet made Zhong Yun calm down. The situation is stronger than others, and life and death are in the hands of people, and the only way is to cooperate.

Zhong Yun looked at the deep woods, feeling uneasy. After several life and death struggles, what kind of fate awaited him and Zhang Xiao?
