The three of them kept running along the road until they saw an upward drainage pipe, and Anyang stopped abruptly.

"Get up here!"

There are many borrowing points embedded in the wall on the drainage pipe, which can be easily accessed, and above it is a circular pipe with a diameter of nearly one meter, and everything is exactly the same as in the plot.

Nadir was the first to get in, Bauer was close behind, Anyang was at the rear, and behind the pipe was a room, filled with the faint glow and the smell of lube.

Anyang looked at it, this was originally an oil storage tank, but it was more like a mechanical control room, surrounded by old metal, there were two floors, the upper floor only had the innermost corridor, there were railings but no stairs, I don't know how to go up, and there were many mysterious decorations on the walls, carved with various strange murals, and the whole revealed an ancient taste.

It doesn't feel like you're inside a giant spaceship made with top-notch technology, but inside a religious cave.

A figure hid from within the railing of the upper level, looking at them with open eyes in the darkness.

An Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he finally made a mistake!

After all, in the original plot, Mann found this place, and he also stumbled by mistake, and now that Mann is not there, he is really afraid that he will not be able to find this cunning old man.

There was a sudden roar outside, and the mutants chased after them.

Nadir hurriedly grabbed the door of the pipe and wanted to press it, but he couldn't press it no matter what, Bauer swept his eyes and pulled down a mechanical gate next to him, the door of the pipe suddenly closed, Nadir held the roulette wheel and rotated twice to lock the door.

Click!

Still uneasy, Bauer grabbed another steel pipe and stuck it in.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around the room.

There is a table in front with a notebook and a pen on it, and it is clear that someone lives here.

Nadir found the old man and pointed upward, Bauer immediately turned to look at him, Anyang also raised the muzzle of the gun, and several people tacitly agreed that they did not speak.

The old man immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Relax, relax, okay?" I don't have a weapon, I don't have a weapon! ”

Anyang didn't put down the gun, as for why, well, because that's how Bauer in the original plot is.

The old man reacted quickly, and said as he walked to the right: "Please forgive me, please forgive me for not reacting in time, come and ......"

Anyang's muzzle moved with his figure, although in his opinion such an act was completely meaningless, perhaps a bad taste.

The old man quickly pulled down several mechanical gates in succession, and with the sound of clicking, a xenon lamp began to light up, and the bright light suddenly filled the entire room: "Okay, you can make this your home." ”

The xenon lamps were getting brighter and brighter, reflecting the room as if it were daytime, but it was even older, especially the rusty and moss-covered walls.

Bauer stared at all this, and a chill rose in his heart, this is a spaceship known for alloys, how could it decay like this?

After being silent for a long time, he glanced at An Yang again, and then asked the old man, "Do you live here?" ”

"Who's talking? What the? The old man looked around blankly, he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

Bauer's expression tried his best to remain calm, his face did not change, and he repeated: "You live here?" ”

The old man saw him and hurriedly said, "I know, I know it doesn't look good here, but ...... They can't get in! Unless I want to let them in! ”

Bauer asked, "Why would you want to let them in?" ”

The old man shrunk his head behind the railing, and in a series of actions he was almost nervous, and said in a low voice, "Because I don't know if anyone else is still alive......"

Bauer looked up at him and asked, "Have you seen any other pilots?" ”

The old man said, "No...... I haven't seen it in a long, long time. ”

Bauer suddenly said, "Why don't you come down and let's have a good talk?" ”

The old man's face suddenly sank: "Do you think that I have survived by trusting others?" ”

"Wait......" he turned and didn't know what he had done, and said, "I want to ask you a question, where do you want to go?" ”

Bauer replied: "Reactor rack, do you know how to get there?" ”

"Yes, I know." The old man began to walk to the left, "Why do you want to go there, oh...... I know, I know, you just woke up, huh? Are you hungry then? I know how to cook! ”

An Yang listened to their conversation speechlessly, as well as demeanor and movements, and felt completely different from the logic of normal people, but the two chatted hotly.

Or in this spaceship, either they just woke up because the sequelae of deep sleep affected their nerves, or they lived too long and were suppressed abnormally!

Anyang could actually force the old man down with a gun, but he didn't do it, because he wanted to use the old man's mouth to completely make Bauer understand something, and the task was not everything, he still needed to get more in this world.

"Whew, sneer......"

A faint blue flame rose, and the room was connected to a gas pipe, and a pot hung from several iron chains above it, and the sound of boiling oil came from it.

"I really want to treat you guys, but it's hard to make something delicious when you only have motor lubricant available, but if we can use our imagination...... Lo and behold, the delicacy is out of the oven and it smells a bit like ...... Vegetable and butter,......"

Nadir looked around, and Bauer walked to the corner and grabbed the moss on the wall, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Oh...... Let me think...... What day of the week is today? Tuesday? I don't know! It's delicious, let's eat, it's healthy food. ”

The old man put the two cups into a box and lowered them to the ground with ropes, beckoning the three of them at the same time.

Anyang sat on the side unmoved, in the original plot, Bauer, Nadir and Mann ate the old man's food, and finally were hung up and tied up in a daze, almost becoming the old man's meal.

Actually, it's no wonder that he is.

People have instincts and reason, one corresponds to survival, the other corresponds to thought, this spaceship is too dark, full of panic and death, but there are always contradictions in the world, especially when the nerves are a hundred times tense and depressed, this contradiction is even more magnified.

Some people will do whatever it takes to survive, and some people give up themselves for the sake of their mission, the old man is the former, and Bauer is the latter, so he can be the protagonist.

Bauer picked up the water and put it to his mouth, hesitated and put it down, and asked Nadir, "Is this safe?" ”

Nadir glanced at him, "Relative to what?" ”

"That bunch of monsters out there...... Could something have crawled out of your warehouse or lab or something? ”

Nadir shook his head firmly: "No! No way! ”

Bauer added, "It's that there's some kind of life-like substance being brought on board the ship, and so ......on."

Nadir shook her head slightly: "Maybe something was on the ship from the beginning, and we went into the deep sleep chamber together......"

"What do you mean?"

Nadir took a deep breath: "I believe it's because of some kind of catalyst, some kind of synthetic enzyme that exists in our energy supply pipeline, which can help us adjust our bodies to the climate on the planet Tannis. As far as I can see, those things fit into the ship. ”

"You're saying they're actually mutated passengers?"

"Yes, some of the original genes in them have been mutated!"

"Well, then why have they changed and we haven't?"

Nadir glanced at An Yang: "I don't think he lied to us, those things have taken a lot longer to wake up than us, you must know that they are too different from humans, this is a long process!" ”

The old man had been watching them, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, because they had no intention of eating, so he interrupted them to reduce their attention: "Don't you know what happened to this ship? ”

Bauer looked up: "You know? ”

The old man nodded, his voice hoarse and low: "Of course, I've been here for a long time, and I know everything I've seen. ”

Bauer looked up in surprise.

The old man grinned and walked over to a mural of a rudimentary spaceship flying towards a planet made of a jumble of threads, and he pointed to the picture as he breathed rapidly and his eyes widened.

His expression gradually went crazy, but he was depressed, suppressed.

"Bang! Universal celebration! ”

"The greatest invention in human history was launched, the Elysium spaceship, and the spark ignited the heavenly path of Earth's heroes! Expedition to the depths of the starry sky where no man-made machine has ever been able to reach before......"

The old man changed places, and the metal wall was carved with countless dense rectangular lines, and a small figure was drawn in the middle, which could be vaguely distinguished that this was a dormant warehouse.

"And then we fell asleep, and slept so deeply, something we had never challenged before, and there were only three Indians left to steer the ship......"

"Not long after flying, everything is normal with the flight system, this big guy is speeding through the universe, and the three Indians have the sequelae of deep sleep, but it is only a benign symptom, and no one cares about them until they receive the news......"

Bauer immediately asked, "What's the news?" ”

The old man stopped, as if he hadn't heard him: "By the way, do you know what the after-sleep after-effects are?" ”

Bauer looked down and thought for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "Orbital dysfunction syndrome!" ”

"What a qualified pilot, but you certainly haven't seen it, let me tell you, if you have this disease, you will itch and tremble at first, and then your body will slowly boil, and finally you will have paranoia, nervous disorders and even madness!"

The old man almost shouted these words, but suddenly calmed down again, turned around and took out a gramophone, and began to shake the hand-crank generator violently until a faint sound came from inside.

"You are the only remaining human beings, good luck and God willing, and have a good ...... journey"

"Huh? The last message from Mother Earth, with a few words of encouragement, tells them that all things are extinct! ”

Nadir and Bauer's eyes widened!

Only An Yang sat still, he had heard this passage countless times at home, especially from the perspective of a bystander, and his heart had long been unwavering.
