Chapter 590 Oxygen Tank
"Oh?" A glimmer of hope arose in Meng Gui's eyes, he quickly stood up and helped Lin Jing up from the ground.
Lin Jing was still very weak and almost unsteady. Now she only had one oxygen tank. Meng Gui couldn't go out alone to find the two oxygen tanks she had thrown away, so she had to urge her to go on the road.
"My chest hurts so much! It seems like it's broken." Lin Jing finally took a step, but reached out to cover her chest again.
"I just did artificial respiration for you for more than ten minutes, and you might have broken your ribs." Meng Gui said to Lin Jing apologetically, then reached out to pull down Lin Jing's space suit helmet.
"Uh... it's lucky to survive... Let's take off the space suit. We can't walk with such heavy clothes." Lin Jing stopped Meng Gui.
"The temperature is very high when walking towards the crater. After turning back and leaving the volcano, the temperature will become extremely low. Without the protection of space suits, we will either be roasted to death or freeze to death." Meng Gui said to Lin Jing, and it was lucky to say that the temperature in the area they are in is not high or thirty degrees, so the two of them took off their helmets and said for a long time but didn't feel anything.
"But wearing this space suit, I can't walk at all. It's too heavy..." Lin Jing's helpless expression, and she wanted to give up. She had already died alone here, so she shouldn't have sent a helping signal to the outside, but she also caused Meng Gui here.
"Let's do it, let's take off the space suit and put it here for the time being. After finding the oxygen tank, Meng Gui thought about it and came back to get the space suit." After thinking about it, she came up with an idea. Indeed, not to mention Lin Jing, even if he himself was on the condition of losing strength, wearing a space suit weighing dozens of kilograms would be difficult to walk.
Moreover, the space suits can also continuously send signals to a small range. Meng Gui can use the detector in his hand to lock the space suits, not afraid of not being able to find them when he comes back.
After the two took off their space suits, they only picked up the oxygen tank, took turns to sucking oxygen and walked towards the crater. Then, using the glimmer of light from the volcanic melting rocks, they tried to search the surrounding ground, hoping to find the two oxygen tanks that were thrown by Lin Jing.
Although the ground near the volcano was very flat, searching along the way. If you wanted to find the two oxygen tanks, it was still like looking for a needle in a haystack. After more than ten minutes, the two of them still found nothing. At this time... the oxygen tank reserves in their hands were only two percent left.
"I was the one who killed you." Lin Jing burst into tears.
"It was you who saved us all. I can't give up no matter what. If I were here, I think you would come to save me desperately. If we really die here, this is our destiny." Meng Gui looked calm.
"I can't walk anymore, sit down and rest for a while." Lin Jing said to Meng Gui.
"Okay." Meng Gui sat down with Lin Jing. He knew that it would be meaningless to continue looking for this. At the last moment of his life, it would be better to relax.
After Lin Jing sat down, she leaned on Meng Gui and her eyes closed. It seemed that her condition was not very good. Even though she was rescued by Meng Gui, she was still very weak. She had been trying hard to support her to get here with Meng Gui.
"Tell me what happened after you separated from us." Meng Gui didn't want Lin Jing to sleep like this until she died. So she found a topic.
"I……"
Lin Jing began to tell slowly. She followed Yiyi's instructions in the spacecraft. After launching the dormant capsule where Meng Gui and the others were, the spacecraft fell into the depths of the black hole.
Yiyi asked Lin Jing to perform manual operations and worked hard to delay the speed of the spacecraft falling into the black hole. Although Lin Jing felt that it was meaningless to do so, she still did it as Yiyi asked.
At that time, there was a desperate silence around. Lin Jing didn't know when death would come, but she just kept adjusting the course of the spacecraft in vain according to Yiyi's request and draining the spacecraft's last energy reserve.
Just before the spacecraft's engine was about to go out, Yiyi detected that a small galaxy was approaching the orbit where the spacecraft was located, and that small galaxy orbited a black hole very fast, so the speed of the small galaxy falling into the black hole was much slower than that of the spacecraft. According to Yiyi's estimate, it will take at least one hundred years for the small galaxy to enter the effective distance of the black hole to swallow.
However, the spacecraft no longer had enough power to enter the small galaxy. After extremely precise calculations, Yiyi asked Lin Jing to manually design a program and enter the lander, allowing the spacecraft to launch the lander.
Yiyi's calculations were very accurate. The lander barely entered the gravitational orbit of the asteroid star, then approached the asteroid orbit at a clever angle, and finally landed on the asteroid.
But... After successfully landing on the asteroid, Lin Jing did not feel much joy. What awaited her was still dead and despair. Moreover, her luck was not very good. She actually landed near a crater, forcing her to give up her lander and walked towards the distance in a space suit.
"I really never thought that you would come to save me, I never thought that I would see you again." Lin Jingyi's voice on Meng Gui's shoulder became weaker and weaker.
"I didn't expect you to be alive. What I worry most is that when I found this place, you had left me. Fortunately, there was a detector that allowed me to find you at the last moment." Meng Gui grabbed Lin Jing's hand.
"At the last moment of my life, I have died without regrets with you." Lin Jing raised her head and looked at Meng Gui, then tried hard to approach him with her cheeks.
"Why am I so stupid? I didn't expect this?" Meng Gui patted his head. When he talked about the detector just now, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly took it out and changed to another mode.
"Expand the search range..." Meng Gui pulled his fingers on the screen.
A green dot appeared on the screen of the detector, and the detector made a preliminary judgment on it... The words "gas tank" popped up.
"There is an oxygen tank nearby! We are saved!" Meng Gui was excited to show Lin Jing the detector.
Lin Jing fell asleep in his arms.
Meng Gui quickly took a sip of oxygen, then stuffed the oxygen tube into Lin Jing's mouth, and ran quickly towards the gas tank logo according to the detector's instructions. It looked like about 100 meters, and sure enough, there was a gas tank lying quietly there!
And it is a fully filled oxygen tank that can last for six hours in a calm state.
Meng Gui took a breath of oxygen, then ran back in the direction coming, and tried hard to wake Lin Jing up.
"I'm asleep?" Lin Jing smiled at Meng Gui with some embarrassment.
"Look at what I found?" Meng Gui gave the oxygen tank to Lin Jing.
"No way? Did you find it? How did you find it?" Lin Jing felt like she was dreaming.
"Get up, let's find another oxygen tank, maybe not far away." Meng Gui felt much more at ease after having a full tank of oxygen and helped Lin Jing up from the ground.
With the help of the detector, more than ten minutes later, Meng Gui and Lin Jing also found another missing oxygen tank. The oxygen tank they used to share was completely used up, but now there are two full oxygen tanks, so they are not so panicked.
However, I still have to go back quickly. It has been more than four hours since Meng Gui came out to find Lin Jing, and there is still more than an hour left. If he has not been able to go back, Shu Ya may think that something has happened to them and start the lander and return to the spacecraft.
However, Lin Jing's physical condition was still not very good. Meng Gui couldn't urge him too quickly, so he could only move forward at her speed for the time being.
With the help of the detector, the two returned to the place where the spacesuit was placed, put the spacesuit on their bodies, and each hung an oxygen tank.
Meng Gui readjusted the communication frequency of the two space suits before wearing the space suit. Now even if they put on the space suit, they can still hear what the other party said.
It was still not dawn. According to previous estimates, the day and night alternation here should be only five or six hours, but now there is no white fish in the sky. Meng Gui estimated that it is very likely that the area where he and Lin Jing were located is near the poles of this small planet, and the time for day and night alternation near the poles will definitely be much slower than that of the equator.
"Can you not wear this thing? It's too heavy!" Lin Jing complained to Meng Gui for a moment.
"No, after leaving the volcano, the temperature will drop sharply. Without the protection of the space suit, you will be frozen soon." Meng Gui knew that Lin Jing was exhausted at this time, but there was no way, so he could only force her to put on the space suit and return with him.
...
After more than an hour, Meng Gui and Lin Jing walked out of the plain area with great difficulty. What awaited them was the more difficult stone peaks and canyon areas.
Lin Jing has almost reached her limit. Now she suffers a lot from walking on the plains, let alone this kind of Shifeng Canyon area.
But this is not the most serious.
The most serious thing Meng Gui never dared to tell Lin Jing...
It is the red dot that has been displayed in a certain mode of the detector, and the red dot representing the lander controlled by Shu Ya, has now disappeared from the detector!
What this means…it goes without saying.
It is very likely that Shuya couldn't wait for him and Roger to go back, and could not contact them. She thought something had happened to them, so she left first.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the detector? Meng Gui manually refreshed the detector over and over again. That was the red dot that never appeared again. Fortunately, the coordinate point had been recorded by the detector, and it could still guide Meng Gui's return direction.
Anyway, let’s talk about it first. Maybe Shuya didn’t leave, but there was a problem with the detector? (To be continued)
