Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Lyle and Alice successfully entered the escape spaceship together. Alice's plan should have been a foolproof situation. Before the pirates found out, they entered and started the escape spaceship, and then the skylight opened. At this time, the pirates were still in the unknown In a state of emotional distress, they were forced to enter a vacuum environment, and then Alice left in the escape spaceship, but the pirates were powerless to stop them.

The rest of the pirates were left to die wherever they liked.

It's just that when Alice was supported by Lyle and the others and put directly into the driver's seat, something unexpected happened!

Before the skylight was opened, not only the pirates entered the docking port, but also a group of alliance soldiers swarmed along with the pirates. What was even more frightening was that these soldiers actually had heavy firepower in their hands—the anti-ship list Bing enhanced version of the laser missile.

A tracking missile launcher that can be carried by a single soldier can directly blast a small spaceship down from mid-air with one shot. Because of its great power, it is very likely to directly blast a large hole in the body of the passenger ship. Going out of a hole, the crowd here will be exposed to a vacuum environment, but it is obvious that these soldiers are desperate, and they have no intention of letting any pirates escape from this passenger ship!

When the group of pirates just wanted to climb into their small spaceship, the soldiers over there had already set up their posture, ready to send the group of pirates to hell with a shot, and the pirates over there also realized this, and they quickly thought One method, and if this method is operated properly, the spacecraft can successfully resist the missile attack of the alliance soldiers.

And the solution they came up with is also very simple... Various escape ships or small spaceships, large and small, are parked in the docking port, just drive one over, and directly hit the missiles launched by the alliance soldiers!Yes, just use these small spaceships as shields!

Because the small spaceships and escape ships here can be operated remotely as long as they have permission, so there is no need for anyone to be a human bomber, so the pirates moved quickly and quickly operated a small spaceship with the smallest size remotely. When the alliance soldiers over there bombarded them, the remote-controlled small spaceship rose directly from the ground and directly hit the missile over there.

However, the speed of the missile is a little bit fast, and the small spaceship may not be able to keep up, so while the pirates remotely controlled the small spaceship, they also slightly activated their combat spaceship K7850 to throw off the missile, so While chasing and fleeing, the pirates finally got their wish and blocked the soldiers' missiles with small remote-controlled spaceships.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the unlucky Lyle and the others. As soon as Alice started the escape ship, she looked up and saw the small spaceship that was bombarded by missiles, smashing head-on at the escape ship they were driving. come over!

"Cao fucking!" Alice, a gentle and soft girl, was shocked this time, and started to swear!

After swearing, Alice held down the joystick of the escape spaceship, pulled it back abruptly and caused the entire escape spaceship to fly into the air, avoiding the wreckage of the small spaceship that collided head-on at the nick of time.

This one-handed operation is easy to say, but Lyle, who was watching from the side, was dazzled. He marveled at Alice's terrifying flying skills. All the timing was too good, because just as Alice started the spaceship and flew When I got up, the skylight at the dock opened!

Alice gritted her teeth at that moment, and tossed and rattled the driving panel inside the escape boat. She pulled the joystick, wanting to perform a difficult driving action, and flew directly towards the half-open skylight above the docking port.

But obviously, their bad luck has not passed yet. Seeing that the first missile failed to blow away the group of pirates, the alliance soldiers immediately got ready to launch the second missile. When the second missile was ready, they raised their heads and saw Ellie The escape spaceship driven by Si had successfully lifted off and was about to leave through the half-opened skylight. The group of soldiers thought that the escape spaceship was also driven by pirates, so they aimed the second missile at Alice's escape. Boat.

Alice sat in the driver's seat, and the escape ship system started to play an alarm, "This spaceship is locked by missiles, please pay attention to the pilot! This spaceship is locked by missiles, please pay attention to the pilot!"

Alice slammed on the panel, and then the siren stopped playing. She looked calm on the surface, and continued to drive the escape spaceship. When Lyle couldn't help asking her, "Can we really escape?" Do you?" Alice replied "Trust me".

She is indeed trustworthy, Lyle noticed that when this seemingly weak woman was concentrating on the driving operation panel in her hand, her eyes shone with light that Lyle had never seen before, that kind of high concentration Lyle has never seen the state of being in such a state, the belief in fighting to the death, in the second person so far.

So Lyall couldn't believe it at the time. He always felt that there were some secrets about Alice that he didn't understand, although he didn't know whether he would have the opportunity to understand her in the future.

The soldiers' missiles were already rushing towards the escape spaceship that Alice was driving. The operating trajectory and attack angle of the missiles were clearly analyzed on the operation panel under Alice's hand. Alice just glanced at the panel in a hurry. Then continue to control the joystick without changing expression.

Lyle, who was sitting next to him in the co-pilot's seat, felt his heart was hanging, and the weightlessness of the spaceship made his skin crawl all over. He felt that the time at this moment was extremely long, as if it had already passed A whole century.

Lyle seemed to be able to hear the sound of the explosion cracking in his ears, as if the escape ship he was on...had been blasted down just like the small spaceship that was shot down just now.

But it didn’t work out. Alice’s hand holding the joystick was very steady. She turned the spaceship in mid-air, turned the hull sideways, passed through the skylight that had just opened a gap, and left the passenger ship smoothly. Flying into space, the missile launched by the soldiers directly bombarded the half-opened skylight, blowing up the entire skylight beyond recognition!

But their escape ship flew out smoothly, flew out of the death passenger ship, and rushed forward in the vast cosmic galaxy without hesitation, and rushed forward at full speed!Regardless of what was behind them, they just ran towards the vast sea of ​​stars.

It wasn't until Alice drove the escape boat for a long distance that Lyle realized that there was such a feeling of surviving after a catastrophe, his mood was unusually ups and downs, and he looked at Alice in amazement: "My God! you did it!"

Alice didn't answer Lyle's words, her face was pale, she tightly held the joystick in her hand, panting violently.

"Alice?" Lyle suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stood up from the co-pilot's seat and reached out to touch Alice's forehead. His hand was hot. Combined with Alice's panting phenomenon, Lyle realized that she seemed to be starting to It was the same as the symptoms that had occurred on the passenger ship before.

Perhaps because of the high tension and high-intensity driving operations, Alice's body can be seen to be very poor at a glance. These strenuous activities... She can persist until now, which is already the limit.

"I seem to be ill." Alice tightly held the joystick in her hand. She was dizzy and couldn't see the screen of the operation panel clearly. She took a deep breath and said to Lyle, "You drive..."

"Me!? I won't!" Lyle was at a loss for a while, but he also knew that in this critical situation at this moment, Lyle had no other choice at all.

Alice stretched out her hand and grabbed Lyle's arm, grabbed his hand and forced Lyle to hold the joystick, Alice calmly comforted him, and said gently: "It's easy, as long as you have learned the basics in school. knowledge, you know how to make it fly."

"What about you!? Are you okay!?" Lyle swallowed, cheering himself up in his heart, and he sat in the driver's seat instead of Alice.

Alice barely stood up while leaning on the armrest of the seat, and said, "I'm going to rest for a while, there is a dormant cabin in the escape boat... I've already set the destination of the escape boat for you, and then you can operate it by yourself." Let the spacecraft start a short-distance space jump, and there may be pursuers behind, so don't delay too much time."

After Alice finished speaking, she barely stood up straight. Her shortness of breath made her feel a little shaky when she walked. She glanced at the puppet sitting motionless on the safety seat next to her, and suddenly said to Lyle: : "Lyle, if something happens, you can rely on this puppet at critical moments...he is the key to your survival."

Lyle pursed his lips and replied, "I understand."

Alice looked down at Lyle again, she was actually a little worried about this boy who didn't look old, this boy was too young, he was a naive boy, he was really not suitable for going through these tragic things, she was At his age, he is probably still acting like a baby under the protection of his parents.

But now, no one can protect Alice now.

Then Alice left the cab, she went to the hibernation room inside the escape ship, and used the hibernation cabin to put herself into a hibernation state, while Lyle was still sitting in the cab, staring at the dazzling variety of operation buttons. Dancing with hands and feet, on a display panel next to him, the destination of the escape ship was clearly displayed—Earth.

Yes, it is the earth, the planet that has been forgotten and abandoned by mankind.

After humans squeezed out all the use value of the earth, the planet was gradually hollowed out, covered by severe environmental pollution and various pollutions caused by humans, and gradually became a planet that is no longer suitable for humans or even living things. After that, humans developed space folding technology, successfully rushed out of the solar system, and launched an attack on the vast universe.

The earth was thus abandoned.

But when Alice and Lyle were persecuted and had nowhere to go, Alice set the destination as the earth.

The generation of Alice and Lyle were basically not born on the earth, but they have learned from the history and universe courses, and they all know that the earth is the hometown of human beings.

But it has been abandoned for many years, probably nearly 1000 years or so.

Since the day humans left, people have never gone back...they can't go back either, the earth's environment has been completely polluted, the atmosphere is full of poisonous gas, the ocean is gradually withering, the land is full of rocks and deserts, except for what humans once lived The wreckage of the building, there is nothing there, and there is no point in going back.

Neither Lyle nor Alice knew what the earth was like at this moment. The future was arduous and the journey was far away, but they could not stop.
