Chapter 480: Save People
Lipper the Vulture sighed. He was a core member of the original team, but now he was a marginalized ordinary member. He was obviously very unhappy.
But that’s how people are. You must adapt to the environment instead of letting the environment adapt to you, otherwise you are destined to be eliminated…
Then, Fang Linyan said curiously,
“By the way, was my behavior very rash just now? How come you recognized me right away?”
Lipper the Vulture lowered his voice and said:
“Under normal circumstances, humans who have been frozen for a long time during interstellar travel will have a stress period after waking up, causing intense discomfort, including dizziness, headaches, etc.”
“More than half of the people will vomit on the spot, then they have to immediately intramuscularly inject an energy mixture (coenzyme A50u/adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/insulin 4U) to gradually recover within 5 minutes.”
“How can there be someone be as energetic as you right after waking up?”
Fang Linyan only realized that this was the problem.
When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud “boom” coming from the side. His feet were shaking violently. Even with his contractor’s physical fitness, he almost fell to the ground.
Then he saw a series of fires and explosions coming from outside the porthole!
Because of the extremely close distance and the fact that it was seen from a small area like the porthole, it gave people the feeling that the world was filled with flames and destruction.
After about 10 seconds, a large group of burning debris and meteorites could be seen flying from the outside. Another cluster of debris passed close to the cabin where they were.
The friction between the two caused a heart-wrenching “creak” sound that made the entire hull tremble violently as if the cabin was about to collapse in the next moment. There were also a large number of cracks in the glass of the portholes.
At the same time, a cold and emotionless female synthetic electronic sound sounded nearby.
“Attention please, the damage to this cabin has exceeded 30%. The criteria for abandonment due to damage is met. The safety door will be closed in 1 minute and 30 seconds. Please leave this cabin in time.”
When building a space transport ship like this, it was built with the watertight cabin design of water ships.
The hull was composed of carriage structures similar to those of a train, and it was also in a three-dimensional form, which greatly increased the construction cost.
However, once an emergency condition was encountered, the damaged box structure could be discarded to ensure the safety of the entire transport ship.
What this electronic synthesized sound means was that the cabin Fang Linyan and the others were in would be abandoned in 1 minute and 30 seconds!
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan immediately widened his eyes, grabbed the stunned Vulture, and ran!
Are you kidding? Is this the time to hide strength? It is the damn time to run for your life!
When they escaped to the door, Fang Linyan saw Goat escaping from another cabin in a very embarrassed state, and he hurriedly waved Goat over.
There were about 80 seconds left. Fang Linyan and the other 2 had already escaped into the passage of the ship, which was only about 10 meters away from the safety door that was about to close.
Lipper the Vulture could not wait to escape toward the door, but Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, and then he said decisively to Goat,
“We don’t have to rush there now. We should save people first!”
Goat was stunned and immediately realized that Fang Linyan was referring to saving those aborigines.
This was a passenger cabin, carrying as many as hundreds of aborigines.
At this time, most of them were in what Lipper the Vulture called a stress period. They were sore and weak and unable to move. If no one rescued them, they were probably going to die as soon as the time was up.
Goat said a little embarrassed,
“How can we save so many?”
Fang Linyan said,
“Don’t care! Save as many as you can! Go!”
Goat nodded and rushed to help.
Fang Linyan rushed to the nearest hibernation cabin. As long as he saw anyone who could still move, he would pick up someone with one hand and drag them away.
He also summoned [Mechanical Dire Wolf] to help. Its strength was more than 20, so it could drag someone away by biting their collar.
Lipper the Vulture saw Fang Linyan busy rescuing people. After urging him a few times, he also hurried over to help.
However, 2 contractors did not show any intention to take action. Instead, they folded their hands in front of their chests. One of the white-haired men stood there and laughed at Lipper the Vulture,
“Hey, Vulture, since when you are such a kind person?”
Time was running out at this time, so Fang Linyan didn’t bother to argue with them.
The three of them worked together and raced against time to rescue about 40 people. Among them, Fang Linyan rescued the most.
He was in a non-combat state. With the speed buff of “Shy Walk”, his running speed was amazing.
In addition, with the help of [Mechanical Dire Wolf], he could rescue 3 people at once.
Later, many aborigines were already crawling out from the pods in a struggle, which also shortened the time for Fang Linyan to open the pod to rescue them.
So Fang Linyan ran back and forth almost 7 times,
On the last trip, he carried 2 in both hands and carried 1 on his back. [Mechanical Dire Wolf] also carried 1 on its back. He rescued a total of 23 people.
Lipper the Vulture rescued 8 people, and Goat rescued 13.
Because there were 2 contractors nearby who were obviously malicious, Fang Linyan would not rescue until the last second.
He returned to another intact cabin when it was 6 seconds left.
When the countdown ended, the safety door in the passage suddenly fell from above, followed by the watertight door and the pressure regulating valve.
Directly cut off the connection with the cabin next door.
Then a sharp sound was heard, which was the sound of the main connecting shaft being instantly withdrawn.
Then the 24 auxiliary connecting shafts were also withdrawn at the same time.
The huge passenger cabin where they had been staying before was detached from the ship and flew out.
Through the portholes, they could still see the unfortunate passengers screaming and tumbling inside. Only then did Fang Linyan see the whole cabin.
This thing was quite large in size. Its cross-section was roughly equivalent to 4 standardized containers stacked up in the shape of a square.
Its length was 3 times longer. Its surface was painted with silver-gray space metal paint.
However, as it rolled, a terrifying scratch could be seen on the side.
This scratch was more than 10 meters long and had directly penetrated the outer protective wall!
The steel wall, which was 10cm thick, was torn apart and rolled up, exposing the internal insulation and buffer layers.
Not only that, most of the scratch began to burn fiercely due to oxygen leakage…
Looking at the tragic scene in the distance, the surviving passengers were shocked. They sympathized who were still struggling to survive in there. Some of them with poor mentals burst into tears.
At this time, Fang Linyan suddenly received a prompt,
“Contractor ZB419, you successfully rescued 24 people in the previous emergency crash.”
“Your actions will have a profound impact on the subsequent plot development. Your mission contribution will be increased by 48 points.”
After receiving this prompt, Fang Linyan was stunned and thoughtful.
Lipper the Vulture said in surprise too,
“What’s going on? My mission contribution actually increased by 16 points! Wow, saving this person increases contribution by 1 point and saving this person increases 8 points!”
“Holy shit, Wre… Battery, how do you know that rescuing people can get mission contribution points?”
Goat patted his chest, coughed twice, and laughed,
“Isn’t this obvious?”
After hearing Lipper the Vulture’s words, the other 2 contractors suddenly looked ugly.
The white-haired man was called Matthew, and the other woman was called Match. They had had conflicts with Lipper the Vulture before.
They immediately rushed to the entrance of the cabin next to them to see if there was any chance to save anyone, but it was obviously too late now.
Fang Linyan smiled and answered Lipper,
“Actually, this is not difficult to guess.”
“In the video played at the beginning of Captain Latvian’s video, he made it very clear that there is an urgent need for manpower.”
“And our main mission is to change the fate of this transport ship, so it is not difficult to infer that rescuing people must have a positive impact on changing the fate of Coles.”
“Isn’t the answer obvious?”
Fang Linyan’s words were automatically filtered by the Space, so the rest of the aborigines could not hear them.
After hearing this, Matthew and Match showed indifferent expressions.
Yes, some things were like magic/brain teasers.
In fact, there was only a thin film between us and the truth. Once it was exposed, you would feel very simple.
However, Fang Linyan accurately screened out the useful information revealed by Latvis among a large amount of useless information.
And within the tight time limit of only 1 minute and 30 seconds, he calmly figured out the potentially valuable behavior of “saving passengers.”
The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom shown in this were directly ignored by Matthew and Match…
At this time, the electronic female voice came from behind the smooth and hard metal wall,
“Warning! In the collision that just occurred, Coles was hit hard again. The overall integrity has dropped by 35%.”
“Survivors, please follow the instructions and quickly gather at the second canteen to accept Captain Latvis’s arrangements!”
As the female voice sounded, a series of shining light strips automatically appeared on the wall next to them, indicating the direction of the group of people.
At this time, all the aborigines had gradually recovered from the stress period. Many people came to thank Fang Linyan and Goat.
