Escape the Library

【Deep Starry Sky-10】

The escape capsule fell rapidly in the universe, and the target destination was Jiang Pingce's pre-set planet α-176.

Yue Xingwen sat in the escape pod and looked out the window through the transparent protective cover——

Although the direction and speed of the 12 escape pods are the same when they are ejected, there are sandstorms and magnetic fields nearby, and the escape pods will inevitably shift at a certain angle during the flight. In the end, even if everyone successfully landed, they may not necessarily land in the same area.

The research group channel is disabled, and other students cannot be contacted. The originally clear escape pod in the field of vision gradually turned into a dozen black dots, blending into the cosmic starry sky and completely invisible.

Outside the porthole, the stars twinkled, and in the vast starry sky, the tiny escape pod was like a solitary insignificant ant, abandoned by the whole world.

Time passed very slowly, and Yue Xingwen kept staring at the pointer on the bracelet.

It wasn't until an hour later that the escape pod was suddenly attracted by a strong force and quickly fell down——

Yue Xingwen hurriedly grabbed the seat belt and pressed the breathing mask firmly to prevent the oxygen tube from falling off.

After the rapid fall continued for a few minutes, there was a loud "dong" sound in his ear, and the violent vibration made Yue Xingwen almost vomit. On an unfamiliar planet, the surrounding dust is flying, and there are strange reddish-brown rocks everywhere, which look like flames from a distance.

Not a single animal was seen nearby, and there was no trace of vegetation.

The scorched earth is everywhere, and the surface scene of such a planet is exactly the same as the picture in the data-it is the α-176 planet that is closest to the sandstorm.

It appears that the escape pod has successfully landed. This made Yue Xingwen heave a sigh of relief.

A prompt pops up on the smart screen: "The outside temperature is detected to be 40 degrees Celsius, and the oxygen content is 0. The remaining oxygen cylinder in the escape cabin is 80% and can be used for 12 hours."

Yue Xingwen hesitated for a moment and decided to leave the escape pod to find his teammates.

At that time, the escape pods of him and Jiang Pingce were the last to pop up, and the other teammates should have landed before the two of them. But the teammates could not be seen at all within the 100-meter field of vision, so there was only one possibility - everyone was scattered everywhere when they landed. Must meet immediately.

Yue Xingwen opened the hatch of the escape cabin from the inside and drilled out with an oxygen bottle on his back.

The high temperature of 40 degrees made him sweat instantly. August, the hottest summer in the south, can occasionally reach 40 degrees, which is actually tolerable. What makes people uncomfortable is that the outside air is extremely dry, the surface temperature is much higher than the air temperature, and the feet are touching the ground, just like walking on a hot coal fire.

As soon as Yue Xingwen's feet touched the ground, he heard the sound of "zizi" smoking from his shoes. The ground on this planet is simply not suitable for walking on feet. If he continued to walk and he didn't find a teammate, his feet would probably have been roasted directly.

Yue Xingwen evaluated the surrounding environment, and without hesitation took out "Selected Works of Modern Writers' Classics", and quickly read: "There is no road in the world, and as many people walk, it becomes a road."

Mr. Lu Xun's skills can forcibly create a path in any environment.

Yue Xingwen is really grateful for this skill. The road created is no different from the ordinary road in the city, and it is very comfortable to walk on. He walked along the road quickly, and the road created by the skills after reaching the full level also continued to extend forward in the direction of Yue Xingwen.

Yue Xingwen thought that it would be easier if Pingce encountered such an environment. He could directly write a formula and fly in the air with sinusoidal motion, so that his feet would not be scalded by the hot rocks on the ground.

If other students can't bear the high temperature on the ground, it's better to go back to the escape pod and wait. As long as Ke Shaobin is found, the coordinates of his teammates can be locked through the investigation of the small map.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing climbed out of the escape pod, looked at the surrounding environment, and scolded loudly: "I'm so stupid! Is this the Flame Mountain?"

His feet were too hot to stand, so he immediately summoned two rolls of gauze with his right hand to wrap his shoes. Anyway, he couldn't run out of gauze, and if he burned one roll and wrapped another roll, it would always last until he and his teammates converged. when.

Liu Zhaoqing hurried forward while scolding, and before he went far, he saw a few familiar shadows in front of him, jumping around like a cat with a sore foot.

Liu Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved to the distance: "Xu Yishen!"

Xu Yishen didn't have gauze to bind his feet, but he had a split body. When the body was too hot to bear, he immediately split into a new one. Moving forward in such a constant split is certainly not good-looking. In Liu Zhaoqing's view, it was like several Grasshoppers are jumping around.

Xu Yishen also saw Senior Brother Liu not far away, his originally frowning brows quickly stretched out, and mitosis teleported to Liu Zhaoqing's side. After seeing the gauze wrapped around his brother's feet, he narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Can you walk? Please take me for a ride!"

After he finished speaking, he threw the oxygen bottle to Liu Zhaoqing, and then turned into a cell and climbed onto Liu Zhaoqing's shoulder.

A familiar voice came to my ears: "There are many ways of cellular respiration. I have enabled the 'anaerobic respiration' mode now, which has a low production capacity but can save my stamina. Please help me bring the oxygen bottle first."

Liu Zhaoqing was helpless: "Okay."

Anyway, it is not the first time for Xu Yishen to be a "mountain". Xu Yishen, who has become a cell, has a negligible weight and is not a burden to Liu Zhaoqing. On the contrary, if Xu Yishen followed him in human form, he would constantly change gauze to bind Xu Yishen's feet, which would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoqing jokingly said, "Grab it firmly, it's none of my business to fall and get scorched."

"Then it's safer for me to stay in your pocket." Xu Yishen rolled into Liu Zhaoqing's jacket pocket and said, "Which direction should we go?"

Liu Zhaoqing looked around: "There is no reference here, and I can't tell the difference between east, west, north and west. Let's walk forward first. Before I landed just now, I seemed to see an escape capsule landing in that direction."

After Ke Shaobin climbed out of the escape pod, he immediately activated the small map, which turned on the reconnaissance mode, and used the skills of "Find Friends" to find teammates within the range.

The surrounding temperature was very high, and after standing on the ground for a while, his feet felt hot, and he couldn't stand at all, but Xiaotu didn't have any abnormality. It seems that the special metal material of the small picture can withstand high temperature.

Ke Shaobin had an idea, jumped up, and rode on Xiaotu's neck with his legs apart, patted Xiaotu's head and said, "Go ahead with me on your back."

Xiaotu: "Master, you should shout again: drive!"

Ke Shaobin: "..."

This talking "smart mount" is very useful, and Ke Shaobin suddenly opened up a new idea.

Xiaotu's height is one meter six, and the rollers under his feet are also very flexible, and the speed of action is almost comparable to that of a 60-horsepower car. Walking on a small map is not only fast, time-saving and labor-saving, but also has a very wide field of vision!

Ke Shaobin rode the small map to investigate all the way, and soon, a small blue dot appeared on the screen: "Found the coordinates of teammates within 500 meters nearby."

Ke Shaobin's eyes lit up, and immediately let Xiaotu walk towards the coordinates. In a few seconds, he saw an escape hatch not far ahead, the hatch just opened, and a tall boy got out of the escape hatch. The two looked at each other from a distance, followed closely, and a familiar and indifferent voice came from their ears: "Do you use a robot as a mount?"

"The temperature of the rocks on this ground is too high to walk at all." Ke Shaobin pushed his glasses and looked at Xin Yan: "How heavy are you? We are sitting on Xiaotu's shoulders together, should we be able to sit down?"

"No, I have another way."

I saw Xin Yan took out a "Periodic Table of Elements", and quickly selected a few times on it with his right hand. Then, a silver metal powder appeared in the palm of his hand. He quickly turned the powder into a thin layer and leaned down. The body was fixed on the sole of the shoe, and then stood calmly on the red rock.

Ke Shaobin finally reacted: "Are you a metal that can withstand high temperature?"

Xin Yan explained in a low voice: "There are many metal elements that are resistant to high temperature. I just used 'tungsten'. This chemical element is very stable. "

The metal that can melt at more than 3,400 degrees is embedded in the sole of the shoe, which is equivalent to coating the shoe with a metal protective film. Of course, the feet will not be affected by the high temperature.

Ke Shaobin couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Your "Periodic Table of Elements" is really useful, you can find any element you want! Later, you can make a pair of high-temperature-resistant metal soles for everyone, so that , we'll be able to walk flat on the hot rock surface."

Xin Yan nodded and said, "Hurry up and find other students. When the oxygen cylinder is exhausted, human beings will not be able to survive on this planet for even a minute."

Ke Shaobin also realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly let Xiaotu continue to investigate.

After a while, Xiaotu found three more coordinates, two of which were together and the other in the opposite direction. The two people who were together were relatively close to here, and Ke Shaobin asked Xin Yan to find them to meet, while he rode on the small map and slid towards the individual coordinates.

After half a minute, Ke Shaobin saw a person appear in his field of vision.

There was red lava everywhere, like a sea of ​​fire, but the road under the man's feet was a wide and flat asphalt road. As he walked forward, the road under his feet also continued to extend forward.

It's really "there is no way on the planet, but Yuexingwen has found a way."

Yue Xingwen was also overjoyed when he saw Ke Shaobin riding a small picture, and the two quickly converged. Before Ke Shaobin could speak, Yue Xingwen asked, "Have you seen any other teammates?"

Ke Shaobin replied: "I just met Xin Yan, and there are 2 coordinates over there, so Xin Yan can find them. At present, including you, only 5 people are found nearby."

Yue Xingwen looked at the time on the bracelet and said, "According to the time, everyone should have landed, and others may be in other areas." He paused and said decisively: "It's 8:00 in the morning, Be sure to find all your teammates before 8pm tonight! Come on, hurry up and do a carpet search."
