The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2047: Disaster of the Starry Sky

The dim silence, like strands of silk threads, interweaves into a large net, blocking out all the noise, leaving only this suffocating silence.

  Xincheng stood there in a daze, staring blankly at his crew members who were leaning against the spacecraft, with his head lowered and his hands spread out. In his palm lay a Brest pistol, which was specially issued to front-line combat personnel and space voyage personnel for self-defense. There were a few tiny mushrooms growing on his fingers, which had already withered.

The astronaut uniform he was wearing was issued by the Space Development Agency, but his pants were covered in dirt 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 now lies coldly on this strange planet.

Xincheng felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe, but he forgot to breathe, let alone how to breathe. His heart was overwhelmed by grief, making his eyes go dark. The thin piece of paper in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he could not even hold it. It slipped from Xincheng's fingertips and fell to the ground.

  On the white paper, a few lines were hastily written:

"Captain, I have decided to leave as a human being rather than transforming into something else.

The starry sky is really beautiful. It is my honor to travel the universe with you. Although my journey ends here, the footsteps of mankind will not stop. Please take my expectations with you and go to further places.

If you can leave, there is no need to take the risk of taking me with you. Just let me blend into the stars and sleep forever under the sky.

Please apologize to my parents and wife for me. I will repay what I owe in this life in the next life."

"Taguchi!"

Xincheng's lips were trembling and his voice was shaking. Endless sadness had overwhelmed him. The image of this young man who was passionate about aerospace appeared in his mind.

He was the youngest crew member of the Lomus III. He majored in space medicine in college with excellent grades. Before he graduated, he was favored by many companies and was offered generous conditions.

But he gave up the high salary and instead chose the arduous Space Development Bureau and participated in the selection of astronauts. With his diligence and hard work, he defeated a number of competitors and became a member of Lomus III.

Xincheng once asked him, and his answer was that he yearned for the starry sky and wanted to see the scenery in the distance, the wonders of the universe that ordinary people could not see.

On weekdays, he always takes the initiative to do things, and uses his humor and joy to adjust the dull atmosphere of the voyage.

But such a person who cherishes life and is positive and optimistic did what Xincheng should have done but couldn't bear to do, no, didn't dare to do -

Help those two crew members who were suffering and tormented to get relief.

Then he ended his life.

This was the most painful thing for Shinjo. If he had done it earlier and more decisively, Taguchi would not have had to continue to take care of and treat them, leading to him being infected and forced to commit suicide.

I should take great responsibility for Taguchi's death.

It was my own hesitation, my own timidity, and my own cowardice that led to the loss of a young life.

"I killed him."

Xincheng muttered to himself, and as soon as he opened his mouth, tears flowed down involuntarily. He knelt on the ground and cried in pain.

There was no heart-wrenching cry, only violent trembling, which made people feel his grief even more. Asuka Shin couldn't help but have red eyes and clenched his fists. His heart was filled with anger, anger towards the person who caused all this.

  It should be a happy and exciting journey into the universe, so why do we have to face such a separation of life and death?

Does the universe have to be so full of malice?

No matter how you look at it, the crash of Lomus III here was deliberately done by someone. In other words, the death of these three lives was also caused by this guy.

No matter what the other party's purpose was, even if it was to save the universe, it could not cover up the fact that it killed three young people, not to mention that this guy was full of malice.

Asuka Xin's anger was about to burst out of his eyes. He clenched his teeth and stared around with red eyes, full of murderous intent.

Qianye Cheng walked forward, bent down and picked up the Brest pistol that fell on the ground, gently brushed off the dirt on it, and said: "Tears can't solve the problem, and can't avenge them. Cheer up, Xincheng, find the guy who caused all this, and then--

Kill it with this gun."

Chiba Makoto said as he turned around and handed Taguchi's Brest pistol to Shinjo who was immersed in pain and sorrow.

"Captain Chiba, be careful." Yumimura Ryo was about to remind him to be careful of infection, but after he said that, he realized Chiba Makoto's other identity and swallowed the rest of the words.

"Although we 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 Ryo raised his hand and pointed at the makeshift tent, but he felt that it was wrong to point his hand like that, which was disrespectful to the deceased, so he quickly put his hand down.

"Because the two of them were infected on the first day, and Taguchi only showed symptoms of infection today," Shinjo said with a sob. He knelt down and picked up the paper with Taguchi's last words from the ground. After folding it in two, he carefully stuffed it into the innermost part of his clothes. Then he grabbed the Brest pistol and wiped the tears from his face with his other hand.

Although there was still pain in his eyes and tears in the corners of his eyes, Xincheng's heart was burning like a flame. The boundless hatred made the fire of revenge burn throughout Xincheng's body, making Xincheng, who was a little weak before, full of strength.

"We are late."

Xincheng shook his head and said, "From the moment we stepped out of the earth and into the starry sky, we have realized that one day we will stop somewhere, but..."

Shinjo couldn't help but clench his fists when he said this, tightly gripping Taguchi's Brest pistol, and almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "They shouldn't stop here in this way."

Emperors have their own way of dying, and adventurers have their own way of dying.

Their fate should be to fall on the way to the sea of ​​stars, rather than die cowardly in this trap.

Yes, it's a trap.

Xincheng saw it clearly and thought it clearly, this was a huge trap.

Just like hunters on Earth, they set up extremely deceptive traps to attract prey and then hunt them.

First cut off the communication of Lomus No. 3, then disguise the communication of the headquarters, and let Lomus No. 3 jump into the trap on its own initiative.
