Russ joined and said: "I am with you. I have permission to observe from the surface."

"Very good." Li Hao said, and then hurriedly took him to the middle level.

They attended two parties. And use a two-person rocket plane to encircle a wide area, draw a map, and finally blow up the accumulator disk floating on the water. , And took a helicopter.

The helicopter landed from Magellan’s cargo port under the control of the Marine Captain. With the huge blades constantly rotating and propelled by the tiny rocket jets from each wingtip, the bird hovered down the swamp like a huge mosquito.

It moves on the water, and finally hangs directly on the mud. In order to maneuver and make the helicopter directly in the protective circle of the wall, Li Huai and Ross put down the rope ladder and swayed down with their hands, becoming the first to set foot on Venus.

They are lightly dressed because the temperature is very hot, about 110°, and humid. There is no breeze blowing here. They are wearing shorts, shirts and high-heeled leather boots. Everyone has two small oxygen tanks on their backs. Leather nozzles strapped to the shoulders ensure a stable breathing airflow. Knives and pistols were tied to their belts. Russ carries the recording equipment, and Li Wei picks up the axe.

They fell from the swaying ladder in the station. The ground was hard-wrapped, as if the builder had knocked it down and leveled it. Familiar with the globe-he studied two photos he had visited and he realized that they follow the same general system. Where the mast tower should have been, the wires passed through the plastic wall and through the sea. He briefly wondered why the wall bends outward.

As the helicopter left, the metal weight at the end of the suspended ladder passed over the top of the wall. The crackling sound jumped sparks between them.

"The walls are live," Li Huai said. "I want to know why?"

Russ shook his head. "From the appearance of it, stay away from something. Maybe it's some kind of native life. But what? I'm sure there is no highly organized physical structure here."

He found the station controls, but before touching them, he remembered the alarm on Mercury. "I'd better smash the alarm first," he said to Lars.

In the end, Li Huai found an isolated globe, perched on a pillar, similar to the one where he had briefly glimpsed Mercury. He put his hand on it and felt a slight vibration inside. Then he found the lever at the base. He moved them, and the vibration disappeared. He announced: "I think I have closed it." "Just in case."

Lars pulled his pistol, and Li Huai turned off the main control device of the sun faucet. One or two globes broke; there was some settlement in the station. Suddenly, they felt the heat increase and knew that the sky was brighter than before. The transfer of the sun to Venus has ended.

The siren remained quiet, but grabbed the axe and smashed it. Russ is carefully taking pictures of the station, measuring the distance and tracking the route. Above, the broad blades of the helicopter swayed around, accompanied by hissing rocket smoke. They can be seen looking down at them from the cabin.

When he saw what appeared to be a small wet patch on the top of the wall, he was shoveling the soil for analysis. As he could see, it spread all the way to the bottom. In a very short period of time, the entire wall was shining. A moist greasy piece spreads on the floor.

The rusty astronomer said, "I must get a sample." He reached out his hand and took out a sampling bottle from his pocket. At the same time, the moist humidity spread to the shoes.

As he walked forward, making a harsh sound, he raised a sticky gum on the soles of his feet. He shook his foot, put it down, and then the other raised his foot, but the foot was also stuck in the thick mud. Things are almost running to his ankles now.

"Hey!" he cried, shaking his foot vigorously to release it. The entire patch moved faster than him, sliding down the wall and sweeping over him. His legs are raised, as if trying to wrap him up.

"It's still alive!" he shouted, grabbing the knife on his belt. He cut in vain in vain. "It's like a giant amoeba, devouring its food! Take it away from me!"

But the knife is invalid. He shot, but the thing was just a lot of mud, nothing would harm the brain, heart or organs. Half of the soles of the boots had been eaten, and his socks were fast. Some of them touched his knee skin.

Something burned him, and he screamed.

Participated in the attack with the knife, but jumped back when it proved useless. His mind raced for help. Above them, Bulton was lowering the helicopter so that Russ could lift himself up and protect him from injury, but time did not allow. In another instant, the public will own Russ.

Grabbing the belt on his shoulder, he threw two oxygen cylinders from behind. He snatched one from the leather holster and pointed the nozzle at the slime. He turned on the oxygen flow, then picked up the pistol, placed its muzzle in the oxygen jet and fired.

The roar of the gun echoed the roar of fire from the tank. Wherever the burning oxygen stream touches, the lumps dry and turn black. The yard and the amoeba in the yard seemed to twist, hump up in pain, and then pulled away.

There was a circle of burning white on the ground, and the air gave off a disgusting smell, but the thing was dead.

Russell Clyde grabbed the ladder and climbed up while swinging towards him. The soles of his boots were missing, and the sides were a series of half-eaten leather. His legs and knees are covered with ugly red spots where the mucus sticks.

"Good job!" from the cabin called Li Huaidun to Li Huai "Come on, before other things come!"

Li Bai grabbed the ladder. When the helicopter began to climb, he took two steps on the swinging rope, and suddenly he felt that he had lost his strength. He was dizzy and tried to hold on, but began to lose consciousness. Dimly, he heard shouting at him: "Oxygen, another tank, open it!"

The second tank is still hanging over his chest.

In order to raise awareness, Li Biao twisted the nozzle. He hissed, and he felt the air blowing him. Miraculously, his feelings disappeared, pressing the oxygen tank tightly against him, he climbed the ladder and entered the safe area of ​​the helicopter.

Chapter 10

Dying planet

For the next four days, Russell Clyde was trapped in a bunk bed, his feet wrapped in bandages and ointment. Fortunately, the digestive juices of Venus amoeba only begin to invade the skin after eating through footwear. Except for some blisters and abruptness, his condition is not serious.

The small cabin is narrow, with two berths inside, one on top of the other, just like the cabin of a liner. It is equipped with several built-in lockers for clothes, a bolt-on chair and a reading light, so this is not a place to spend a lot of time. The lack of windows adds to the desolation of the room. But Li Huai has long accepted the fact that spaceships cannot yet be considered luxury liners. Soon, the drive could allow such things, but the Magellan was an experimental ship that was turned into a warship by an emergency.

In those four days, Li Huai spent most of his time on Russ to deepen his understanding of him and talk about the trip. The young astronomer was not at all frustrated by his misfortune. In fact, the whole experience made him quite exciting.

"A good place for biologists to study! Venus will become a mecca for scientific study!"

Bull said: "But there is nothing else, I don't think." "Anyway, we are now going through another experience. Mars is our next goal. How does it feel?"

Russ put his hands behind his head and looked up at the bottom of the bunk above him. "We can see Mars very well; there are no clouds, and the atmosphere is thin but clear. Have you seen photos and color sketches?"
