This is of great help to Zhang Tianyuan and the others in understanding the current state of the world.

The perspective in the movie is only limited to the protagonist, New York, and the city, which seems too narrow. Zhang Tianyuan urgently needs this information to make up lessons.

"By the way, have you received the signal from the woman before?" Zhang Tianyuan suddenly remembered this matter and asked the staff who operated the equipment.

The staff member shook his head: "That signal? I was also on the scene at the time. As far as I know, we have never received it again."

"I think I have encountered misfortune..."

The operator sighed and adjusted the channel.

Suddenly, a burst of familiar English came out from the loudspeaker:

"Mayday! Mayday..."

It was the husky female voice from before.

But unlike last time, the voice was quite clear this time.

The operator glanced at the screen and immediately said, "The other party's signal is much more stable this time!"

Zhang Tianyuan also came over and signaled him to stop talking with a "shh".

"Let's listen to what she has to say first."

The female voice in the speaker was in a hurry, and her voice was as haggard as last time:

"I'm Hill Emma, ​​an astronaut working on the International Space Station, and I hope anyone who hears this broadcast will find a way to get in touch with us.

We have no news, we are stuck in the space station, we are short of a lot of supplies, there are many failures in the space station, our radio has just been repaired.

Besides me, there are two other astronauts in the space station, they are Padalka and Mike.

We originally had three partners, but four months ago, they took the risk of using the return capsule to land on Earth without ground cooperation, and we have not heard from them since then.

Anyone who receives the signal must contact us, we saw the lights of the city go out in one piece, we are eager to understand what happened on the earth, is it because of the virus we heard before..."

What the hell!

After hearing this long series of words, Zhang Tianyuan and the operator looked at each other dumbfounded.

"Is what she said true?" Although Zhang Tianyuan said interrogative sentences, he couldn't help looking at the sky, wanting to see clearly the female astronaut talking at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers.

He believed it.

The operator glanced at the analyzed characteristics of the signal and said, "It should be true. The other party's signal matches the characteristics of the space station."

Zhang Tianyuan circled back and forth a few times.

If he hadn't received the broadcast today, he would have hardly imagined that the world is doomsday, and there are still three people struggling in space.

Apparently, the KV virus is developing too fast, before humans completely lose their ability to organize, it is too late to bring back the astronauts in the sky.

Of course, this also makes them immune to KV virus infection.

They may be the only human beings who are not immune but are still alive in this world.

But simultaneously, it also brought them deep despair.

Think and know.

The earth suddenly lost contact one day, they are like abandoned children, they can only curl up in outer space and cry, watching the lights on the earth gradually go out...

Lonely, hopeless.

At this point the signal quickly became noisy and then disappeared.

The operator said: "The space station should have left our sky, and it will take a while to come back."

"Then can we talk to her?"

The operator replied, "No problem."

Zhang Tianyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, when the space station passes the top next time, we will connect to their signal!"

Chapter 43

above the sky.

International Space Station.

Here you can overlook the magnificent earth, the outlines of the seven continents and five oceans are clearly visible here, and the clouds and mists are the veil of the earth, making everything mysterious and magnificent.

It would be a great thing to be able to work here.

At the beginning, Hill Emma thought so too. At the age of 34, she is a model of female astronauts in this space and time. Her existence inspires many women around the world.

But now, this place has become her cage, a nightmare she cannot escape no matter what...

"Mayday! Mayday..."

The tape recorder next to the radio is still repeating endlessly.

Hill tied himself to the side with a few straps, on his bony cheeks, watching the operation of the equipment with blank eyes.

Since they found out that they lost contact with the ground, they have been playing this distress audio, day and night, without interruption.

Until a few months ago, the external parts could not withstand such high-frequency use and reached the end of their life.

It was also at that time that the other three companions in the space station felt that there was no hope of living like this, so they resolutely walked into the return capsule and tried to return to Earth by themselves.

However, it turns out.

Reality is not a movie, and not everyone can land safely without ground cooperation.

The three of them haven't made a movie called "Gravity," so they should be gone.

The original agreement to communicate with them after they landed is also gone.

What followed was another deepened despair.

Hill and the other two astronauts did not dare to try to return by themselves, so they could only try to get out of the cabin to repair the radio outside and continue to send radio broadcasts.

After months of hard work and preparation, they finally got the outer radio parts replaced a few days ago.

Now it has entered the boring time of squatting.

Hill stared at the clock expressionlessly, then suddenly turned his head to increase the volume, "Padalka, it's time for me to do training, you come here to replace me..."

"coming!"

In another cabin, a sickly man floated out, speaking thick Mao-style English.

Hill undid the straps and got ready for practice.

These astronauts originally planned to stay on the space station for a few months before returning to the ground. Now they have been there for more than a year, far exceeding the expected time.

If they don't do some training every day to maintain their health, it will be difficult for them to return in the future when their physical fitness drops sharply.

The space station continued to fly in space, and Padalka, who was sick, didn't even watch the radio, but turned to watch Hill and Mike's fitness training.

Mike, who was doing daily training next to him, suddenly stopped, looked up at the cables in the space station, and became sentimental.

"Hey Hill, are we going to be the last humans on Earth?"

"I do not know."

"Maybe that's true, otherwise it's hard to explain why no one has talked to us for more than a year..." Padalka looked very tired, and he was weak in speaking, "I have another stomach problem."

"Don't you take medicine?"

"One pill is gone..."

The topic quickly shifted to the lack of supplies.

The materials on the space station are limited, so they need to be resupplied regularly. However, it has not been resupplied for more than a year now, and various materials and parts have become scarce.

"Well, maybe we'll just die like this, the last humans on Earth?"

"No, we will have a full meal at the end, then board the return capsule and return to Earth..."

"Is this for peace in the ground?"

A pessimistic cold joke made everyone laugh.

However, behind the smiles, there was despair on everyone's faces, and only silence remained in the end.

It is the most painful thing for someone to talk about his desperate situation as a joke, even if it is self-deprecating.

"Mayday! Mayday..."

The recorder starts a new round of repetition.

Padalka suddenly couldn't take it anymore, he slammed the recorder off, picked up the microphone himself, and clutched his stomach:

"anyone there?"

"Can someone bring me some stomach medicine? God? Buddha? Whoever it is, please bring me some stomach medicine... I feel like I'm dying!!!"

In the end, the man was already crying, and his fist was pounding the tape recorder.

"Hey!"

Seeing Padalka's sudden collapse, the other two quickly floated over to stop him.

However, at this time.

A different voice came out.

"Do you need stomach medicine?"

A man's voice came from the radio speaker.

"Is it an auditory hallucination?" Padalka stopped moving and looked at the two companions with tears in his eyes.

However, the radio responded first:

"NO"

"Are you a god?"

"NO"

"I'm talking to you from Earth."

"You are from Earth!?"

Padalka's face suddenly burst out with enthusiasm that he had never seen before, and he grabbed the wireless phone receiver to his chest, no matter how hard Hill and Mike snatched it, he refused to hand it over.

on the ground.

Hearing the chaotic voice coming back, Zhang Tianyuan met Wu Yisi who was next to him.

"They are very excited now." Wu Yisi said.

Zhang Tianyuan rolled his eyes, who couldn't hear it?

Wu Yisi silently rolled her eyes, trapped in space for more than a year, suddenly heard a human voice, what emotion can she have besides excitement?

"I can only talk to you when you are over the top, please pay attention to the time." Zhang Tianyuan reminded.

Hearing this, the astronauts finally stopped fighting, and each of them stretched out a hand, holding a small microphone together.

"Everyone asks a question!"

"Can we continue talking later?" Hill asked first.

Zhang Tianyuan replied: "Yes, our equipment here is very good, as long as your conditions support, we can keep talking."

The three astronauts breathed a sigh of relief.

Mike was the first to ask the second question:

"Can you save us?"

Zhang Tianyuan covered the microphone and glanced at Wu Yisi. He didn't know how the three astronauts were feeling, so he called her over.

There were still many people watching the fun, but no one dared to make a sound.

Wu Yisi whispered: "Answer truthfully, we can't make them overjoyed."

Zhang Tianyuan replied truthfully: "There are certain difficulties, and I'm afraid it won't be possible in the short term."

"How long?" Mike asked.

"I don't know, we're not in North America right now, and we lack astronauts."
