"You want to test your emotional star rating? Why?" the instructor asked after hearing Ying Feng's intention.
"Because I seem to have inadvertently resorted to mental reassurance, I wonder if our progress has really progressed to six stars."
The instructor smiled disapprovingly, "There is indeed a way to measure the emotional star rating, but I don't want to tell you."
Ying Feng was puzzled, "Why?"
"I don't even know how far my feelings have developed, and I have to use external means to judge. There are so many races in the world, and only our feelings can be measured numerically. Then those species other than us are not in love. Yet?"
"I want you to develop emotional star ratings, because from the perspective of outsiders, this is the only standard that can judge the quality of your relationship, but as a client, you should know better than any instrument how far your relationship has developed. "
Ying Feng frowned, this question seemed to him much more complicated than combat training.
The instructor hated it a little bit, and further pointed out, "Apart from being able to calm down, don't you have any other feelings? Psychologists define this stage as the moment when the seed breaks the ground, and your heart beats faster when you touch his hand. , I can't help but want to express my heart to him, this is the state of six stars. Do you understand what I mean? Your judgment should not come from there," the coach pointed to the computer, and then transferred to his In my heart, "It's here."
When Ying Feng returned to the bedroom, Ling Xiao was playing a new strategy simulation game. The living room was covered by the projection of the universe. Ling Xiao manipulated his fleet to attack the planet of an unknown player with the Red Hair Network. The two armies exchanged fire. Intense, evenly matched.
"Back to defense, back to defense! The tail ship needs support! You're back," his greeting was interspersed with various shouts, "Someone attacked me!"
Ying Feng walked over without saying a word, and held Ling Xiao's hand without warning. Ling Xiao was stunned by this move, and even the tense battle was put aside, only the red hair's voice could be heard in the room. The ground sounded: "Ling Xiao, what are you doing? The enemy has come to reinforce the army, and they have fired on your main ship! Why are you not moving? Hey, people!"
Ying Feng quietly felt the feeling described by the instructor, Ling Xiao's eyes kept moving back and forth on the opponent's face and on his hands, what new ability is this? Why can't he feel anything
"What are you doing?" he couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing," Ying Feng let go of his hand. Could it be that because of getting along day and night, the physical contact has long been more than that, so when he touched his hand, he wouldn't have a faster heartbeat
... what are you doing
Hong Mao's voice was replaced by Bing Can.
"Ling Xiao, is Ying Feng back? If you come back, we'll be a social worker."
"I'm back," Ling Xiao said hurriedly, but he didn't forget that they still had 30 hours of voluntary labor punishment on them, "Let's go right now."
He hastily instructed the surviving fleet to withdraw to his base, and together with Ying Feng and Bing Can, they came to the administrative building.
The janitors there are used to this kind of situation. "Go to the recruitment board to lead the task, and the terminal will automatically record your working hours."
Ling Xiao and the others havetily looked down. There are various types of jobs here, from cleaning school buildings to clearing roadblocks, and even such strange jobs as removing space junk. In addition to people like them who were punished for voluntary labor, there were also people who came to work here on their own initiative.
"What does the X2 icon here mean?" Ling Xiao asked.
"It's a high-difficulty job with double timing," the janitor glanced at them. "You are in the first grade? It is recommended not to try."
"Isn't that enough for fifteen hours?" Ling Xiao pointed to the item of removing space junk, "I want to do this."
"I think so too!" Hong Mao readily agreed.
"It's work, not play," the janitor patted the table, "you can think clearly."
"I think this is pretty good, I don't want to clean the school building for thirty hours," Bing Can asked Ying Feng, "How about you?"
"No comment."
"Forget it, whatever you want," the janitor didn't bother to interfere.
The four people arrived at the space station through the transmission device. This was their first time visiting space. Although they came to work, they were as excited as traveling.
"This kind of small work ship is called the cosmic scavenger. It is specially used to clean up space junk. You are responsible for cleaning up all the junk in this area, even parts smaller than one centimeter in diameter cannot be spared, because they are likely to become a threat to Security implications for space stations and satellites."
The staff of the space station introduced them to the operation process, and finally told them, "When you work, you should pay attention to avoiding high-speed objects. After all, you are not driving a military aircraft. Its safety performance is very general. easily damaged."
"What if you encounter an enemy?"
"You've watched too many movies, and it's so easy to meet the enemy. I've worked here for seven or eight years, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy. If it's dangerous, how can I find a student to do it? Don't think too much, go ahead ."
They drove the scavenger away from the space station, and when they saw floating debris or debris, they used vacuum cleaners or robotic arms to recover them. This work is much less laborious than cleaning school buildings, but requires more concentration.
After they drove away from the space station, Ling Xiao, who was in charge of driving, suddenly found an unknown object on the radar.
"Look, what is that?"
The other three gathered around, but no one could tell what it was, until the UFO got closer to the scavenger, and they recognized it as an emergency escape pod.
The four of you look at me, I look at you, "Is this a large piece of garbage?"
"No matter what, let's report first."
Ling Xiao reported their findings to the space station.
"There is no distress signal here, you can check it first, but be careful."
Ling Xiao maneuvered the scavenger to fly around the escape pod twice, but there was no response, and the request for access to the communication did not get a reply.
"There may be no one in there."
"Not necessarily, it may be that the people inside are not sober."
"I'll take a look," Ling Xiao said.
"I'll be with you," Ying Feng, worried that he was alone, followed him out.
The two people came to the outside of the cabin one after the other. The real space was slightly different from the environment simulated by the training room. Their bodies went through a short adaptation period before they adjusted to the most suitable state.
In front of them was a single-person sealed escape pod, without glass, so it was impossible to see what was inside. Ling Xiao tried to turn the pressure valve. During this period, Ying Feng carefully inspected the surroundings of the escape pod. The spherical body was made very tightly, not like ordinary civilian equipment can achieve. There are words on the bulkhead, it is indeed Tiansu product.
-How about it
He floated to Ling Xiao's side.
- The indicator light here is red.
Ling Xiao pointed to the most obvious location outside the cabin door, which means that there are living people inside, but the vital signs are extremely weak, and danger may occur at any time.
—Maybe it’s too late to drag them back. We’re trying to find a way to transfer the people inside to the scavenger. Bingcan should have a way to give first aid.
Ying Feng thought about it for a while, but that was all he could do. He secretly held a protective soul crystal in his hand and nodded at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao strengthened his strength, rotated the pressure valve clockwise several times, the hatch finally opened, and the two were stunned by the sight in front of them.
The comatose person in the escape pod is only a baby in terms of size. He obviously does not have the ability to survive in the space environment like Ling Xiao and the others. In this short period of time, his body has begun to freeze rapidly.
Ying Feng's eyes and hands were quick, and he used the protective shield that was originally intended to protect them on the suspected baby. Ling Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. He almost murdered a baby-but why is there a baby here
There is no time for them to think so much now, the time of the shield is limited, and they must move him to a safe place as quickly as possible.
Ling Xiao turned around and waved a few times. After a while, a robotic arm stretched out from the side of the scavenger's fuselage, and grabbed the protective cover back together with the baby like cleaning garbage.
"How can there be a baby state here?" Hong Mao's reaction was as stunned as Ling Xiao's when he saw the true face of "Trash". In Tiansu, there is nothing stricter than the management of the baby state. It was difficult for them to leave the school before. Let alone in space.
Bing Can lifted his eyelids and looked at it. It was really a baby, not an immature adult. This incident was too bizarre.
However, the top priority now is to treat him. Bing Can activated all the healing soul crystals, and her hands that glowed with white light were attached to the baby's forehead and chest in turn. The originally dying baby's face gradually returned to normal.
Ling Xiao and Ying Feng tied the escape pod to the scavenger with ropes, and then they hurried back. Bing Can exhausted all her mental strength and leaned on the seat looking bad, but the baby's condition was better than what they saw earlier. Arrived much better.
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao asked impatiently as soon as he came in.
"If you're asking why he's in a coma, he's been without food and water for a long time, and his weakness has caused him to lose consciousness. It looks like he was there for a long time before we found the escape pod."
"If you are asking why he is here, it is unknown. We have notified the space station and the other party wants us to return immediately."
While he was talking, Red Hair had turned his head skillfully, and the scavenger pulled the capsule and drove towards where they came from.
Ling Xiao was still frightened when he remembered the situation just now, "Fortunately, Ying Feng found out earlier, if not..."
Before he could finish his words, the scavenger jolted violently, and Ling Xiao barely supported the bulkhead so that he did not fall.
"What happened?" Everyone was nervous.
Just after asking, there was another violent shock. At the same time, the alarm sounded in the cabin, and the red hair's voice came from the cab: "We were attacked! The radar and communication systems have all failed!"
"what?!"
Ling Xiao stumbled to the cab, "Why is the damage so serious? Is the defense system activated? Where's the weapon?"
"We are garbage cleaning ships, do you think we are warships?"
"Who's so heartbroken that he doesn't let the garbage truck go?"
The red hair suddenly raised his finger and pointed forward in a stunned mouth, "I guess it is it."
Needless to say, Ling Xiao also saw it, and in front of them, a behemoth gradually appeared. This is a huge starship, with a black body and sharp edges and corners, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Not good!" Another row of laser bullets came, Ling Xiao grabbed the control stick to dodge left and right, and finally got hit by a bullet. The scavenger with negligible defense ability was almost paralyzed.
"The power system also failed!"
"I'm going to fix it!" Hong Mao ran to the tail of the plane, Bing Can continued to guard the baby, and Ying Feng came to the front.
"They're probably running for something like that behind us."
"You mean, they're for that baby state?"
"That's right, otherwise who would fight a scavenger," Ying Feng pondered, "Can you get through to the other party?"
Ling Xiao tried it on the panel, "Our device can't send a signal unless the other party takes the initiative to contact us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen covered with snowflakes flashed twice, and a completely unfamiliar voice came.
"Let go of the rescue capsule, or you will be at your own risk."
"Are you looking for someone inside?" Ying Feng asked.
"It's none of your business."
"What if I told you that there was no one in there?"
"What?" The voice over there became tense immediately.
"Because people have been transferred to us."
The voice was silent for a moment, and when it sounded again, it was already full of anger.
"Are you kidding me?"
"It seems that you know exactly who is inside. If you continue to attack us, this scavenger will soon be penetrated, and we can delay for a while, but can the person you are looking for survive until If you come to save him, it won't be certain."
Ling Xiao had been quietly watching Ying Feng's negotiation with that person, when he suddenly raised his hand and turned off the microphone.
"Did you ever think that he might take all of us in with the whole scavenger."
"He wouldn't want us to enter his cabin, not to mention that we might take hostages in case of danger. This person is very important to him, and he doesn't dare to gamble."
After he finished speaking, he asked the red hair loudly. "How's your progress over there?"
"I still need time! Procrastinate a little longer!"
"Even if the power system can recover, you can't get rid of the opponent's attack," Bing Can reminded him.
"Try it."
"What do you want?" the man finally said.
Ying Feng turned on the microphone again, "We can send him back to where he was, but you have to let us go."
There was a cold snort, "How do I know if there is anyone in the sealed cabin?"
"Even if we start running for our lives from now on, at your speed, are you afraid that we won't be able to catch up with us?"
The owner of the voice thought for a moment and accepted the offer, "You have five minutes."
Red Hair frantically waved his hands from behind.
"Ten minutes, it takes time for us to transfer him, and you don't want any mistakes in this, right?"
"Ten minutes is ten minutes. I will supervise your every move here, don't make small moves."
Ying Feng turned off the communication, and saw that Ling Xiao was burying his head in dealing with his terminal.
"It's useless, the other party used magnetic field interference."
"What now?"
Ying Feng calmly said, "Of course, do as he said."
