It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

Wo Xiu did send the message from a corner, but his situation was not as bad as General Ya's worst prediction.

Of course, it was not Wo Xiu’s original intention to lose contact for no reason. He acted according to the plan. Recently, he has gone down to the interior of the deep-sea ruins three times. Ignore the earnest dissuasion of the staff, and don't care about the words "the area has been partially closed, and the internal environment is unstable", but I have made up my mind to go down .

"Everyone can also think that this is a small problem caused by my heterogeneous genes." The informal commander Woxiu even said so, unscrupulously stretching out a pair of long legs, folding his hands in front of him, and resting his elbows on the table, Rest your chin on the back of your folded hands.

"I understand the concerns and considerations of the development team, and I also understand that if an area that has been closed for a while is opened again, what will happen inside is completely unknown." He paused for a while, holding his chin and facing people, "heartless" Smile, "The unknown is the most disturbing and difficult thing to control. It is like everyone is clearly facing each other, the objective distance is very close, visible and tangible, but what thoughts each holds, separated by What is actually hidden behind a layer of shell, 'unknown'. It's very worrying, isn't it?"

It was a small conference room at the station, and listening to Commander Woxiu's speech, there were not only the escorts at the station, the logistics reception staff, the person in charge of the shift, etc., but also some scattered ordinary members of the team.

Wo Xiu used "people's hearts" as an analogy, and the topic was vaguely sensitive, making it hard to see whether there was any deep meaning behind his words.

Many people in the meeting room who couldn't manage their expressions changed their expressions because of his words, and did not maintain their polite and thoughtful demeanor.

Relying on his wider field of vision and superior dynamic vision than ordinary people, Wo Xiu kept these changes in his eyes. He felt the eyes poking on him intentionally or unintentionally. With a smile on his face, he went on to say: "But I am a person, firstly, I am very curious, secondly, I am very confident, and I like to challenge the 'unknown' the most."

The atmosphere that had been stagnant for a moment flowed again.

Wo Xiu seemed to be only half-truthful in mentioning the "people's heart" thing, and he seemed to be used to it. He spoke in this style, and compared everything he thought of, and there was nothing else worth looking into.

The development of the deep-sea ruins is a joint project. Of course, the team is divided equally between the Star Alliance and the Outer Territory Alliance. The Outer Territory Alliance initially stood on a neutral point of view, and also admitted that there are unknown risks in re-investigating the closed area, but if the Star Alliance insists on dissuading , persisted in singing against Wo Xiu, and repeatedly rejected Commander Wo Xiu's idea of ​​going down to the closed area. Not only was he afraid of getting into a stalemate with himself, but Wo Xiu was also the commander of the extraterritorial alliance and the first discovery of the ruins. One of the people, if there is a more obvious conflict of ideas, the "admitting the risk" probably does not prevent the foreign joint personnel from admitting at the same time that their Commander Woxiu is indeed curious and has the strength to be confident in the face of risks.

Those who are interested don't want to make a big deal out of it, and it is expected that the bottom line is almost done, and it is only a little bit close, so it's okay to let people who don't know anything go and have a look.

Wo Xiu successfully got the opportunity to confidently enter the bottom of the revolving corridor.

But the accident happened 32 hours before the official dive—it happened to be the time when Wo Xiu had no time to inform Ya Huiquan, and he hurriedly took action in advance.

Thanks to General Ya, before Woxiu saw all the personnel in the Xiaohuangxing star development station with his own eyes, he had already recorded all the personnel dispatch information here through data transmission and electronic roster browsing.

In the Xiaohuangxing development garrison station, the on-duty personnel are divided into "ground operation group" and "submerged operation group". The personnel of the ground team are replaced every 48 hours.

Originally, Wo Xiu's proposal to go to the closed area to check has been approved, and he will enter the ruins with the next round of diving team. However, before the normal rotation time arrives, the ground rest station received a message that the descent is in progress. In the submersible team, someone suddenly felt unwell and had to leave the seabed environment, and then the other party was sent back urgently. The situation was evaluated by the medical cabin in the station and it was slightly serious. It is possible to send the patient out of the garrison station and transfer the patient to a medical facility. A more refined nearest planet.

Wei Wei felt that there was something strange about this, so Wo Xiu went to visit the man in person under the guise of "humanitarian care", quietly collected the facial data of the other party, and he took advantage of the situation to advance his personal dive time, the reason was exactly off the shelf.

"A team member who had to leave due to illness came up, and counting the colleagues who accompanied him up, there are exactly two vacancies in the dive team." Woxiu said, "I can dive with the company of professionals. , There are also personnel below to respond."

The person in charge did not resist Commander Wo Xiu's insistence.

Wo Xiu and a staff member from the extraterritorial alliance sneaked into the ruins ahead of time. He acted in a hurry, and didn't even have time to greet Yahuiquan.

His nerves in charge of intuition have been throbbing with a strong sense of existence, and the person who is about to be sent back also made him feel somewhat inconsistent for no reason.

And it turns out Wo Xiu's feeling was right.

He dived in a hurry and entered the bottom of the revolving corridor ahead of time. He was noncommittal to the accompanying personnel's explanation that "the closed wall needs to be dismantled by professional technical means, and the dismantling work will be carried out later."

"You are..." Someone raised an objection in a low voice. The underground environment was dark, and the person who spoke was standing at the back of the team, and his expression was not clear.

But the darkness is so fair. Similarly, Wo Xiu was separated from the other party. He faced the seemingly impenetrable closed wall without turning his head. He also turned his back to the man and said, "Don't worry, it's just a person who can climb through the gap in the wall." It’s just a probe. I heard that someone was attacked here last time. When doing partial sealing, some native species that would explode and hurt people were also sealed behind. This probe is a preparation for this. It can climb into the Cracks in the wall, drilling the back area from the side rock wall, and exploring the environment for our demolition team."

Wo Xiu's tone was calm, and he spoke at a leisurely pace: "Although I want to go to the back to satisfy my personal curiosity and desire to explore, I just take the risk by myself, and I can't let people who normally dive work do it for me. My adventurous spirit pays the bill, and if I don’t touch the environment first, I’m too embarrassed to ask everyone to tear down the walls, right?”

What he said was reasonable. Others in the team responded to Commander Woxiu's words, and the sycophant of the foreign alliance immediately felt the commander's compassion, and the person behind him didn't say anything.

The space behind the closed wall is not small, and the detectors that can climb into the gaps in the stone wall are naturally very limited in size. It seems that it takes a little longer to perform detection tasks than usual, and the exploration efficiency is not so high.

Wo Xiu calmly led his people to wait in front of the wall. I don't know how long it had passed. The foreign joint commander seemed to have eyes behind his back. He said suddenly, "That friend at the back, where are you going?"

The person named was shocked.

The other members of the regiment who were completely unaware of the movement on both sides also turned their heads in astonishment.

Just then, the probe sent back a signal that it had found signs of life.

The exploration efficiency of the detector is actually not slow at all, but Wo Xiu is not at ease, he secretly instructs the instrument to turn a few times behind the back, so that the moving scanning range does not miss any tiny corners.

"Did you detect the signal that the arthropods in the rear are still alive?" A group member asked aloud.

"Their vitality is so tenacious?"

Wo Xiu lowered his head and scanned the readings sent back to the personal terminal, and the data was simultaneously copied to the extraterritorial joint personnel he brought down—that was an engineer transferred from the technical department of the special forces.

The engineer first lowered his head to take the reading, then raised his head and exchanged glances with the officer, with unconcealable astonishment in his eyes.

The person named has been keeping a close eye on the movement ahead of the team. Logically speaking, he couldn't see clearly what Wo Xiu was communicating with the engineer here. After waving his hands, the person at the back seemed to have received a signal, and he quickly pulled out a miniature laser gun from his sleeve!

The man randomly aimed at the nearest person, and he clearly saw the astonishment on the other person's face, but the moment he fired, a strong wind hit his face in front of him, and someone stepped on the side stone wall to avoid the crowd, "flying over the wall" Dodging the obstacles, the powerful jaws of the tiger clamped the man's hand holding the gun like pliers, and forcibly moved his muzzle away, almost crushing his wrist bones.

The deflected laser beam hit a weak spot in the containment wall.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Those who haven't figured out the situation are in chaos. They are pure workers who really do their best for the protection of the ruins.

Scattered debris fell from the closed wall swept by the laser rays, and the movement of small stones rolling across the ground echoed the noise of people.

"What we have detected is not the life signal of an arthropod." Wo Xiu's voice sounded in the chaos. He quickly rectified the normal armed personnel, established his own armed line in the blink of an eye, and announced in a low voice the astonishing situation on his side just now. found, "From behind the closed walls, we detected vital signs of human activity."

I am afraid that only the most innocent scientific workers will ask such whimsical words as "does there still exist local aborigines" at this moment.

This mutated riot did not reach the ground in time.

Because someone with a heart has already destroyed the return device, neither the rest station nor the main control center on the ground has been notified in real time.

The two people suspected of rebellion were controlled, and Wo Xiu saved the cumbersome process. While the engineer led the technicians to rush to repair the signal device, he decisively entered the closed area behind and rescued an unlucky guy who was almost locked inside alive.

That is a person whose vital signs have been reduced to the lowest level, and the human body is operating at the lowest level in order to survive.

He had the same face as the "injured patient" who had been sent back to the ground in advance and was about to be sent out of the Xiaohuangxing development garrison point.

Yahuiquan received the message from Wo Xiu not long after that.

The transmission device was repaired again, and everyone spontaneously assisted in testing the signal, which made it easier for Wo Xiu to fish in troubled waters.

Telling that there might really be an experimental platform under the ruins of Yahuiquan, it was actually the second message sent by Wo Xiu. The signal just repaired was not stable. His first message was delayed and was stopped by the intermittent signal. After the "broken" end, let the second one catch up from behind, and cross the galaxy thousands of miles before going to the terminal of General Ya.

Wo Xiu's first message to Yahuiquan arrived 10 minutes late. He explained that there was a life change in the team and the movement of life was detected in the rear space.

Time is running out, and Wo Xiu has just sent two messages. The dive team finally sent the report of the change to the ground, but the ground did not bring any good news. The people in the main control center urgently connected to Commander Wo Xiu to report to him. The patient who was supposed to be transferred 12 hours ago disappeared out of thin air. The ground duty personnel searched the warehouse in the station and found that one ecological cabin was missing.

Yahuiquan did not receive the third message from Woxiu.

No matter how accurate Wo Xiu's premonition is, and his personal mobility is outstanding, he is not superhuman, and it is impossible to take care of everything at the same time.

The two have been using the confidential channel to communicate. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, the special communication code is only held by each other.

Wo Xiu didn't have time to pass on the information, so the Yahuiquan side seemed to be passive, and could no longer catch the first move at any time, and the response force should start to lag.

But the people in the main control center on the ground of Xiaohuangxing were at a loss. They all counted on Woxiu, the highest military officer present, to come up with an idea. When a series of problems such as how did it happen, and why there was a mutiny in the team, a remote communication was sent to the contact desk of the main control center in the star area where Xiaohuangxing was located. For a second, the man took a deep breath at the lit video window.

All the people in the main control center—including Wo Xiu—were surprised by what they saw.

The general with red and brown irises appeared after the communication. His military appearance was neat and tidy, and his meticulous temperament seemed to be embedded in the bone marrow.

He looked at the crowd from behind the video window, without any extra emotion on his face, only vaguely cast a second glance at Commander Wo Xiu, whose personal image was more worrying at the moment, and who was in stark contrast to himself.

Yahuiquan came in person.

General Ya also brought a message. The guards around him sent a message on behalf of the chief to inform everyone in the Xiaohuangxing main control center: "Our army intercepted an ecological cabin marked as 'stolen' and salvaged it forcibly. The personnel involved have been transferred to the mobile surveillance room inside the ship, and I would like to contact the Xiaohuangxing ground control center."
