As the Assel got closer to the oasis in the sixth area, the metal outline scanned by the detector became clearer, and the icon of a starship appeared on the light curtain.

Lu Yan's heart tightened suddenly, he grabbed the binoculars and walked to the porthole, looking at the only greenery in the vast yellow sand.

The Assel was about to land, and the distance to the oasis was getting closer and closer, and the landform gradually became more real——

It is said to be an oasis area, but it is actually more like the scalp of a middle-aged man, sparsely covered with some vegetation.

The rhizomes of these vegetation are thick and large, with concave stems, and long and wide ribbon-shaped leaves. The leaves are yellow and dry. From a distance, they look like octopuses lying on the sand dunes, without any aesthetic feeling.

The starship was in the center of the oasis, under the licking of the sun, the dusty metal shell still glowed with a cold light.

It looks like a stranded giant whale, which stands out in the scorched sand dunes.

The Axel was still some distance away from the ground, and Lu Yan's palm was pressed against the porthole, impatient to make sure if there were any humans alive on the starship.

The closer the distance to the starship, the faster Lu Yan's heart rate.

At this moment, a slender hand clasped Lu Yan and slid into his fingers. The warmth of the other party spread from the palm to the heart, soothing his restlessness and anxiety.

The Axel landed steadily on the edge of the oasis, and He Huai still held Lu Yan's hand tightly.

Seeing Omega's serious expression, He Huai asked, "Wait here for me, I'll go out and check."

Lu Yan shook his head almost imperceptibly, he couldn't always avoid what he had to face, he had prepared for the worst result.

Putting on the anti-radiation suit and filter mask, Lu Yan and He Huai each checked their weapons before walking out of the air pressure cabin door.

The two walked for a kilometer, and from some traces on the ground, it was judged that there was human life nearby.

Lu Yan and He Huai looked at each other, and both of them saw a look of joy in each other's eyes—there were survivors on the starship.

The further he walked, the more certain Lu Yan was of his guess, because there were human footprints on the ground.

The star NE11T is windy all the year round, and there are such clear footprints, which means that someone came here a few minutes ago.

The Assel landed on the empty star NE11T, and there was some commotion. After the survivors here heard about it, they would definitely come out to check the situation, so they left footprints.

After walking for ten minutes, they finally saw the former president's private starship.

It is not accurate to say that it is a private starship. This is actually a warship, with higher configuration than the Assel, and even equipped with missiles.

After all, this is the means of transportation for the president to travel, and the primary duty is naturally to protect the safety of the president. Although the comfort level may not be comparable to that of the local tycoon Asel, the safety performance is definitely guaranteed.

It is precisely because of the high configuration and strong security system that the survivors have been able to live for so long on the oxygen-poor star NE11T.

A hoarse male voice came out from the loudspeaker, "Who are you, are you sent by the Star Alliance government?"

Lu Yan connected to the microphone and replied with the speaker function of the optical brain, "We are not from the alliance government, I am Pei Xi's son, and my name is Lu Yan."

"Professor Pei's son?" The man was obviously taken aback, and then he was delighted, "Then come in quickly."

Lu Yan pursed his lips, and walked towards the starship growing in the weeds.

He Huai silently followed behind Lu Yan.

When the two of them approached the starship, the barometric hatch opened, and a thin, long-haired boy stood at the hatch.

His face is very pale, as if caused by long-term malnutrition, his facial features are very delicate, he has a pair of beautiful hyacinth eyes unique to the East, and his hair color is pale gold.

As soon as Lu Yan came in, the boy stared at him, his pale pupils were as clear and clean as glass under the sunlight.

The boy asked Lu Yan, "Are you Lu Yan?"

Lu Yan nodded, "Yes."

"Follow me." The young man walked forward after finishing speaking, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the tall man behind Lu Yan following him. He turned and said to Lu Yan, "I saw you."

This long-haired boy should seldom communicate with others, and the way of expression is very problematic.

Lu Yan reacted for a moment and looked directly at the boy, "Who wants to see me?"

The boy's bloodless lips parted slightly, and he spit out two words, "Mom."

Lu Yan seemed to have heard the words that surprised him, with a momentary doubt on his face, he asked, "Mom?"

The boy gave an 'hmm', but did not explain, and continued to walk forward.

Lu Yan didn't understand him at all, and didn't know whose mother this mother was, whether it was his mother Pei Xi, or the boy's mother.

Or... is it their common mother?

Lu Yan stared in astonishment at this boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was obviously of mixed race, his throat was swollen.

The young man didn't see Lu Yan coming after him for a long time, and turned his head to look at him silently, as if asking why he didn't leave.

Lu Yan stared at the boy who was somewhat similar to him, and after more than ten seconds, he turned his head and said to He Huai in a low voice, "You wait here for me."

He Huai was worried, but knowing that Lu Yan wanted to confirm whether the "mother" the boy was talking about was Pei Xi, he still nodded.

"Be careful, call me if you need something." He Huai urged.

Lu Yan didn't speak, and walked towards the boy.

This starship is very large, with a living room, a lounge area, a bar, two master bedrooms, and four guest rooms.

But now the living room and rest area have been transformed into a vegetable garden, and the original fire protection system has become an automatic watering can for irrigating the vegetable garden.

The entertainment equipment in the leisure area has now been converted into practical items. Lu Yan even saw homemade generators and stills, which are quietly sitting in the corner.

A thin man wearing glasses focused on dismantling a sophisticated instrument on the floor, and he placed a bunch of parts neatly like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Others were either working on vegetable gardens or collecting distilled water, and everyone who was busy stopped and looked at Lu Yan when he saw him.

The faces of these people are as pale as teenagers, and after staying here for more than ten years, everyone's physical condition is not very good.

Lu Yan glanced at them hurriedly, and then followed the long-haired boy into a master bedroom.

This master bedroom is also piled up with a lot of sundries. At first glance, it looks messy, but if you look closely, you will find that it is miscellaneous and orderly.

There were two beds in the room, and a woman with a sick face was lying on one of the beds.

She has a thin face and sunken eye sockets, but her eyes are as gentle and firm as ever, like Lithops in the desert, which can bloom special flowers even in harsh environments.

Lu Yan looked at her, his nostrils fluttered slightly, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak a word.

The woman looked at Lu Yan tenderly, she stretched out her skinny hand, and called him softly, "Yanyan."

Lu Yan's eyelashes trembled, he slowly lowered his body, hugged her waist as he did when he was a child, buried his face in her chest, and responded hoarsely.

Pei Xi looked down at Lu Yan, stroked his hair tenderly, her eyes were red, "Time flies so fast, my son has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

"Hmm." Lu Yan's voice was astringent and hoarse as if soaked in salt water, "What's wrong with you, are you sick?"

Pei Xi coughed twice, still smiling softly, "It's because of some minor illnesses, but seeing you has improved a lot these years, cough cough, how are you doing? Cough cough..."

The cough suppressed in her throat could no longer be stopped, Pei Xi coughed wildly several times, and vomited a mouthful of blood, which seemed to be mixed with something.

There was a cough that was louder than another, as if it was going to pierce Lu Yan's eardrum, and he hurriedly patted Pei Xi's back to help her breathe.

But the effect was minimal, and the expression of the boy beside him also changed. He walked over and performed first aid skillfully.

Lu Yan gave way to the boy in a daze. He stood in the crowded room, showing a rare look of helplessness.

Although the sheets are clean, but because they haven't been changed for many years, there are many traces that are difficult to wash off.

Lu Yan looked at the brown stain on the edge of the badly worn bed sheet, and his heart immediately twitched, and the dull pain spread.

Under the first aid of the young man, Pei Xi's breathing gradually stabilized, but her complexion was still not good.

After the boy fed her some medicine and clean water, he put an oxygen mask on Pei Xi and let her lie back on the pillow.

The white mist that Pei Xi exhaled lingered in the transparent oxygen mask, and with the next inhalation, the white mist quickly disappeared again.

She looked at Lu Yan who was standing at the head of the bed in a daze, and slowly raised her right hand. Lu Yan hurried over and held that hand.

Pei Xi grabbed Lu Yan with one hand, took the boy's hand with the other, and folded their hands together. She slowly closed her eyes as if she was extremely tired.

Looking at the white mist on the breathing mask, Lu Yan's throat was throbbing, and it took him a long time to ask, "What's wrong with Mom?"

The young man shook his head, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a very calm tone, "I don't know, everyone here dies like this."

When he was born, there were a lot of people here, and then they kept decreasing. First, they had low immunity, often had high fever and cough, and then radiation spots appeared on their bodies, and then they vomited blood and died.

The word death made Lu Yan feel as if on fire. He took off two buttons of his shirt, gasping for breath, his heart felt stuffy and painful.

Lu Yan's eyes fell on the person on the bed, and he asked the boy hoarsely, "What's your name?"

The boy said, "Lumen. Pei Lumen."

Lu Yan looked at him and repeated, "Lumen."

Pei Lumen explained, "The physical unit for calculating luminous flux."

Pei Xi is an expert in physics, so it's not surprising to have such a name. Lu Yan said 'hmm' and was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help correcting him——

"A lumen is a physical unit for calculating luminous flux. You have to say that to understand, understand?"

If it weren't for Lu Yan's knowledge of physics, he wouldn't have known what Pei Luming's sudden statement meant.

Like an honest student, Pei Lumen repeated what Lu Yan said, "A lumen is a physical unit for calculating luminous flux."

Lu Yan didn't speak any more, and gently stroked Pei Xi's hands, which he remembered were soft and beautiful before.

Pei Xi has his own business and is excellent in the professional field. His father often joked at home that these hands should only glow and glow in the physics laboratory, and they should not be wasted on housework.

So when he was at home, his father never let his mother work.

Now he was so skinny and covered with spots, Lu Yan felt very distressed.

After watching for a while, Lu Yan used his optical brain to send a message to He Huai outside, telling him that his mother was still alive, and told He Huai not to worry about his safety.

He Huai's meticulousness was fully reflected at this time, "Do you need me to go back to the Assel and bring some food and medicine?"

It can be seen that the people here are very poor.

Lu Yan: "Need."

Now he regrets not bringing a medical robot here. The person on the bed is obviously terminally ill. Lu Yan's eyes are bloodshot, and the ends of his eyes are also red.

After Lu Yan and He Huai used the optical brain to talk, Pei Lumeng kept staring at the optical brain on Lu Yan's wrist.

Spotting Pei Luming's gaze, Lu Yan looked at him, the boy's pupils were like a pool of water, pure and pure, but also because they were too clean, they appeared indifferent and cold.

Lu Yan pointed to his optical brain, "Are you curious about this?"

"There's this one here too, I've disassembled it, but yours..." Pei Luming thought about his words, "It looks better."

Optical brain is a must-have for everyone in Interstellar. What Pei Luming said should be worn by Pei Xi, which is an old model more than ten years ago.

This kind of intelligent optical brain is updated and iterated very fast, and the Luyan wrist is the latest model.

Lu Yan took off the optical brain, unlocked it and handed it to the boy.

Pei Lumeng held one hand on the back of Lu Yan's hand, and he took it with the other hand, put the optical brain on his lap and began to study.

Lu Yan doesn't like to talk, and Pei Luming is not good at words either. They are two sober people who stay together harmoniously without disturbing each other.

Until the hand holding them moved, Lu Yan and Pei Luming looked at the person on the bed at the same time.

Pei Xi hasn't woken up yet, this is a twitching reaction caused by active nerves.

He Huai returned to the Axel, and returned to the starship to send a message to Lu Yan.

Seeing the sudden message, Pei Luming obediently handed the optical brain to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan just glanced at it and didn't turn his head back. He gently put down Pei Xi's hand, stood up and said to Pei Lumeng, "Call me when mom wakes up."

Pei Luming: "Yes."

When He Huai was putting the supplies he brought back on an old round dining table, even Lu Yan came out of the room.

Lu Yan's expression was not very good, He Huai asked worriedly, "What's the matter, is your mother sick?"

Lu Yan flipped through the medicine cabinet, took out a few painkillers, selected the appropriate antibiotics, and nodded silently.

Seeing him like this, He Huai knew that Pei Xi's situation must be very bad.

He Huai suggested, "Since we have found someone, let's set off to go back. With such advanced medicine, we will definitely cure her."

Lu Yan paused, worried that his mother would not be able to survive that time, and it would take fifteen days at the fastest to get from NE11T to the main star, but her condition is very bad now.
