Humans collapse into slag

There was deathly silence in the cold cabin.

In the dim light, Liao Yuning curled up in the corner.

The air seemed to be frozen into ice, and after breathing it into his lungs, his whole body became numb, and he couldn't feel his own body anymore.

Juno: "Master, the current environment is the basic life support mode. It is detected that your body temperature is too low. Please return to the hibernation cabin as soon as possible."

Compared with the daily life support mode, the basic life support mode is more energy-efficient, and the direct performance is that the light source is reduced and the room temperature is lowered.

Liao Yuning raised his head in a daze, and said after a while: "Mu Rong... what else did he do afterwards?"

Juno: "Need to tell what happened or just show the surveillance video?"

Liao Yuning: "Play the video."

Juno: "Okay, will edit according to schedule."

It's more succinct and time-saving to hear Juno tell what happened, but now nothing can be changed.

People have already left, there is no need to save time.

A few seconds later, a light screen jumped in front of Liao Yuning.

In the camera, Mu Rong walked into the bridge imposingly, and the others turned their heads with astonishment.

Mu Rong left with Liao Yuning, but now he is the only one coming back, which is unavoidably surprising.

"Everyone." Mu Rong said loudly, "Your captain, Major Liao Yuning, has been dormant by me, and now I am the supreme commander of the ship."

This sudden seizure of power caused all the officers and soldiers on the bridge to be stunned. Before they had time to react, Mu Rong explained his reasons for doing so.

Flying a fighter plane to ask for help was the only hope. Major Liao wanted to take the risk himself, but he stopped him. As the highest-ranking officer on the Dawn, he felt that he had to take up this responsibility.

"But." Deputy Captain Allen said hesitantly, "The leader's life support system won't last long."

"It doesn't matter. The energy source of the signal transmitter is independent. Even if the life support system stops operating, it can still transmit signals to the outside world." Mu Rong said calmly, as if he was not the one who was going to die generously.

"After the leaders set off, the Akatsuki enters the basic survival mode, and everyone sleeps, only retaining the energy supply of the bridge, captain's cabin and dormant cabin. According to the prediction of the brain, if you operate this way, you can last twice as long The total time is about 30 days, which is enough for the Dawn and others to come to the rescue."

Naris, the ship's officer, said: "But we don't have enough dormant cabins. A lot of them were damaged by the impact of the explosion last time. There are at least eighty gaps."

"I've considered this." Mu Rong turned on a light screen and handed it to the ship officer, "Transfer some prisoners from the dormant cabin and detain them in cabin D015. This is the list I screened."

Naris' lips trembled, "In the basic survival mode, they will be frozen to death soon."

Mu Rong nodded, expressing that he was very clear, "Out of the principle of humanity, I will ask someone to inject them with tranquilizers in advance."

This is a very cold decision.

The officers and soldiers on the bridge looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

According to imperial law, captives also have basic human rights, and no one can directly execute captives who are unable to resist without trial.

If Mu Rong does this, he will 100% go to a court-martial in the future, and it will leave a lifetime of stains.

Of course, Colonel Mu may not have a future.

"This is a decision I made, and all the consequences will be borne by me." Mu Rong stood with his hands behind his back and glanced around, "Everyone, the safety of all the personnel on the Dawn is in your hands. There are only four hours left." 10 minutes, now I order you, act now!"

Being suppressed by Colonel Mu's majestic and domineering aura, no one could say anything against it.

two hours later.

Liao Yuning stared blankly at the light screen in the captain's room of the Dawn.

He saw that Mu Rong acted resolutely and took strong control of the entire ship, making everything run efficiently and smoothly, all processes were arranged in an orderly manner, and the method of handling the captives was cruel, but it was the best choice.

Liao Yuning remembered that when the Dawn had just encountered a crisis, Mu Rong wanted to take over the command of the ship.

Did that person already have such an awareness at that time?

Give up your reputation, future, and even your life, and bear all alone...

Juno: "Master, your body temperature is still dropping, please return to the hibernation cabin as soon as possible."

In the basic survival mode, the room temperature is far below zero degrees Celsius, and the daily uniform Liao Yuning wears is not thick enough to provide enough warmth.

As a conscientious AI, Juno turned up the volume this time.

"I won't go into the hibernation cabin." Liao Yuning murmured: "He's still outside, I can't go to hibernation."

Juno was a little confused about the logical relationship, but it understood that this matter had something to do with Mu Rong.

"Master, when Colonel Murong put you into the hibernation cabin, he chose the permanent mode. If you hadn't set the wake-up function before, you would hibernate until rescue came as he hoped."

"Yeah." Liao Yuning snorted softly, but then changed the subject, "Juno, you know? He used to always ask me to think about him, think about him more, it seems that that would make him very happy. "

Juno: "I think it's a kind of psychological satisfaction."

"Yes, it's just psychological satisfaction." Liao Yuning lowered his voice, "But I never promised him once, so now, I have to spend all my time thinking about him."

Juno was silent. It is a powerful artificial intelligence. As long as it is given exact instructions, it can complete many difficult tasks, but the current situation is beyond its scope of response.

Since it was about Mu Rong, Juno provided another piece of information.

"The life support system of the leader piloted by Colonel Mu Rong is expected to last for 10 hours and [-] minutes. If the owner's physical condition does not improve, he will not be able to last until that time."

Liao Yuning finally listened to this.

He stood up leaning on the wall, looked around the captain's office, and then walked to the coat rack beside him.

On the shelf, was hanging a black Imperial Army overcoat.

The clothes belonged to Mu Rong.

Judging from the normal ship environment, wearing this coat has no other purpose except to look handsome.

But now Liao Yuning needed it very much. He put his coat into his arms and hugged it tightly.

He wanted to draw warmth from the clothes, but like the surrounding environment, it was also cold.

After a long time, Liao Yuning turned around and approached the cabin, opened the sleep cabin, turned off the sleep function, and then lay down in it.

The temperature in the dormant cabin is above zero degrees Celsius, which is higher than outside.

Mu Rong's coat was covered by Liao Yuning, and the clothes had been ironed by a dedicated robot, leaving no trace of the former, but this was all he could get.

Liao Yuning: "Juno, predict the time limit of the leader's life support system, and display the countdown."

Juno: "Yes, Master."

很快，一段倒计时浮现在了休眠舱盖板上：70:27:55、70:27:54、70:27:53……

Liao Yuning opened his eyes wide, staring at the beating numbers, his heart throbbing with every change of the numbers.

However, he had to let himself suffer so much.

every moment.

64:15:08、64:15:07、64:15:06……

The leader has escaped the influence of the magnetic field storm and began to send out a distress signal.

At this time, Mu Rong, what is he doing, what is he thinking?

Ning Ning, Ning Ning, Ning Ning...

The man gave him a nickname without authorization, and called him sweetly... The man said confidently that they would get married in the future and have several children... The eyes that the man looked at him were always hot and straightforward, warm There is an unspeakable feeling in it... That person is always clinging to him, and likes to confide his love to him...

He was a little disturbed, turned his back and ignored him, and the man would hug him from behind and kiss his hair and the back of his neck.

Those hugs were strong, those kisses were lingering, and he was obsessed with them unconsciously.

Ningning, I love you, do you love me?

Ning Ning, I miss you very much, and you also miss me, okay?

He pursed his lips tightly, refusing to answer or promise, and even pushed the man away when he was pestering him.

Finally, the man asked: Liao Yuning, am I meaningless to you?

no.

He was startled suddenly and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

The man sighed softly: Then, if I die, Liao Yuning, just forget about me.

No, no, no!

He could feel the man moving away from him.

The warm embrace disappeared, there were no more affectionate gazes, and no more lingering whispers.

All the things he once had but didn't cherish...like quicksand, they dissipated from between his fingers.

"do not want!"

廖宇宁从梦中惊醒，发现面前的屏幕上，红色倒计时还在不停闪烁：44:34:01、44:34:00、44:33:59……

You have done so much for me, and I haven't even given you a promise.

Yes, why didn't you give it?

Liao Yuning, why?

Why is he so stingy and indifferent, even refusing to say "I miss you too" to him.

Tears welled up in the eyes, and the hot liquid ran across the cold cheeks, like a sharp knife, directly cut through the heart, causing fresh blood to flow out.

The overwhelming remorse collapsed like an iceberg, almost suffocating him.

Holding his collar tightly with both hands, he fumbled to unbutton his shirt, and pulled out a metal chain under his neck.

Trembling, at a loss, he found a small ring.

Liao Yuning finally whimpered after pinching the warm ring and letting the hard arc embed into the skin of his fingertips.

He remembered when he was in sixth grade, on that PD077, when he pushed open the hatch of the escape cabin and took off the pilot's helmet, he saw the brilliance in that person's eyes.

Ningning, are you still alive? !

The man was surprised and delighted.

That is a kind of lost and found that is more precious than the rest of your life after disaster.

Great, all mistakes can be made up for, all regrets can be turned into perfection, and life is full of hope again...

So, please be sure to live.

because.

I love you too.

Can't help but love...
