The three of them ran along the road until they saw an upward drainage pipe and Anyang suddenly stopped.

"Go up from here!"

There are many leverage points embedded in the wall on the drainage pipe, which can be easily climbed up. Above is a circular pipe with a diameter of nearly one meter, everything is exactly the same as in the plot.

Nadir was the first to get in, Ball followed closely behind, Anyang at the end, and behind the pipe was a room filled with dim light and the smell of lubricating oil.

Anyang looked at it and found that it was originally an oil storage tank, but it looked more like a mechanical control room. It was surrounded by old metal, with two upper and lower layers. There was only the innermost corridor on the upper layer, with railings but no stairs. I don’t know how to go up. There were many mysterious decorations hanging on the walls, carved with various strange murals, and the overall smell was an ancient smell.

It feels not like it is inside a giant spacecraft made of top technology, but in a religious cave.

A figure was hiding in the railing on the upper floor, looking at them with eyes open in the darkness.

Anyang breathed a sigh of relief and finally did not make the mistake!

After all, Mann discovered this place in the original plot, and he was also accidentally hit. Now that Mann is not here, he is really afraid that he will not be able to find this cunning old man.

A roar suddenly came from outside, and the mutant chased after him.

Nadir quickly grabbed the pipe door and tried to press it, but he couldn't press it no matter what. Ball swept his eyes and pulled down a mechanical gate next to it. The pipe door was closed immediately. Nadir held the roulette and rotated it twice to lock the door.

Kick!

Ball was not relieved, so he grabbed another steel pipe and stuck it in.

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

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

Nadir noticed the old man and pointed upwards. Ball immediately turned around and stared at him. Anyang also raised his gun. The few of them didn't speak in a tacit understanding.

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

Anyang did not put down his gun. As for why, well, because Ball in the original plot is like this.

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

Anyang's muzzle moved with his figure, although in his opinion such behavior was completely meaningless, perhaps a kind of evil taste was causing trouble.

The old man quickly pulled down several mechanical gates in succession. With the sound of cracks, xenon lights began to light up, and bright light immediately filled the entire room: "Okay, you can treat this as your own home."

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

Ball 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 a long silence, he looked at Anyang again and then asked the old man: "Do you live here?"

"Who is talking? What?" The old man searched around with a confused look on his face. He hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time.

Ball tried his best to keep his calm expression, his expression remained unchanged, and he repeated: "Do you live here?"

The old man saw him and quickly said, "I know, I know that it doesn't look very good here, but... they can't get in! Unless I want them to come in!"

Ball asked: "Why do you want them in?"

The old man shrank his head behind the railing, and a series of behaviors were almost neurotic. He lowered his voice and said, "Because I don't know if there are other people alive..."

Ball looked up at him and asked again, "Have you seen other pilots?"

The old man said: "No... I haven't seen it for a long time."

Ball suddenly said, "Why don't you come down and have a good chat?"

The old man's face suddenly sank: "Do you think I live until now by trusting others?"

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

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

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

Anyang listened speechlessly to their conversation, expressions and actions, and felt completely different from the logic of a normal person, but the two were having a hot chat.

Or in this spacecraft, either they just woke up and affected their nerves due to the sequelae of deep sleep, or they were suppressed abnormally after living too long!

Anyang could actually force the old man down with a gun, but he didn't do that because he wanted to use the old man's mouth to completely let Ball understand some things, and missions are not everything, and he still needs to get more in this world.

"Huh, hesitation..."

A faint blue flame rose, and the room was connected to the gas pipeline. A few iron chains above were hanging a pot, and the sound of oil boiling came from it.

"I really want to treat you well, but when you only have motor lubricants available, it is difficult to make any delicious food, but if we can imagine it... Look, the delicious food is out of the oven and smells a bit like... plants and butter, nonsense..."

Nadir looked around, while Ball walked to the corner of the wall and buckled the moss on the wall, his expression becoming more and more serious.

"How long have you woken up?"

"Oh...let me think about it...what is today?Tuesday?I don't know! The delicious food is out, let's have a meal, this is a healthy food."

The old man put two iron cups into a box, hung them on the ground with a rope, and greeted the three of them at the same time.

Anyang sat aside and was unmoved. In the original plot, Ball, Nadir and Mann ate the old man's food, and finally got rid of it and tied up, almost becoming the old man's food on the plate.

Actually, he is not a fault.

People have instincts and rationality, one corresponds to survival and the other corresponds to thoughts. This spacecraft is too dark, full of panic and death everywhere, but the world is always contradictory, especially when nerves are tense and suppressed a hundred times, this contradiction is even more magnified.

Some people use any means to survive, while others give up on themselves for their mission. The old man is the former and Ball is the latter, so he can become the protagonist.

Ball picked up the water and put it beside his mouth, hesitated and then put it down, and asked Nadir: "Is this safe?"

Nadir glanced at him: "Relatively what?"

"Will somebody crawl out of your warehouse or lab or something?" Ball said, "

Nadir shook his head firmly: "No! It's absolutely impossible!"

Ball said again: "That is that some kind of life-like substance was taken on the spaceship, and so on..."

Nadir shook his head slightly: "Maybe some things were on the spaceship from the beginning, and we entered the deep sleeping chamber together..."

"What's the meaning?"

Nadir took a deep breath: "I believe it is because of some catalyst, some artificial synthase that exists in our energy supply pipeline, which can help us regulate our bodies to adapt to the climate on the planet Tennis. As far as I can see, those things adapt to the spacecraft."

"You mean they are actually mutated passengers?"

"Yes, some of their original genes have mutated!"

"Well, then why did they change and we didn't?"

Nadir glanced at Anyang: "I don't think he lied to us. Those things have been awakened much longer than us. You must know that they are too different from humans. This is a long process!"

The old man was observing them all the time, and couldn't help but feel anxious because the two of them had no intention of eating, so he interrupted them to reduce their attention: "Don't you know what happened to this ship?"

Ball looked up and said, "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."

Ball raised his head in surprise.

The old man grinned and walked to a mural. In the mural, a simple spaceship was carved toward a planet made of messy lines. He pointed at the picture with his fingers, breathing rapidly, and his eyes widened.

His expression gradually became crazy, but he was suppressing and suppressing.

"Bang! Everyone celebrates together!"

"This greatest invention in human history has taken off, the spaceship of the Paradise, the starry fire ignited the heavenly road for the heroes on earth! Go to the depths of the starry sky that no man-made machine has ever reached before..."

The old man changed his place. There were countless dense rectangular lines engraved on the metal wall, and a little man was drawn in the middle. He could vaguely tell that this was a dormant warehouse.

"Then we fell asleep, and we slept so heavily. This was something we had never challenged before. There were only three Indians who were left to control the spacecraft..."

"I flew for a while and the flight system was normal. This guy was moving forward rapidly in the universe. The three Indians had deep sleep sequelae, but they were just benign symptoms. No one cared until they received the message..."

Ball immediately asked, "What news?"

The old man stopped, as if he hadn't heard him: "By the way, do you know what the sequelae of deep sleep is?"

Ball lowered his head and thought for a while, opened his eyes and said, "Orbital Dysfunction Syndrome!"

"What a qualified pilot, but you have never seen it before. Let me tell you. If you get this disease, you will itch and tremble at first, and then your body will slowly boil, and finally develop paranoia, nerve disorders and madness!"

The old man almost finished saying this, suddenly calmed down again, turned around and took out a phonograph, and began to shake his hand-shake the generator violently until a vague sound came from inside.

"You are the only remaining humans. I wish you good luck, God bless you, and a smooth journey..."

"Ha? The last message from Mother Earth, telling them that everything is extinct with a few words of encouragement!"

Nadir and Ball opened their eyes wide!
Chapter completed!
