Chapter 109

Zhang Yuan took a sip of water and put down the cup.

Indeed, a small number of people boarded the spaceship to pursue their ideals; But other people just want to be "Wenqing" and show their uniqueness; Some people sign up for the spaceship on a whim as soon as they shoot their heads and are inspired by various videos; Others are just for fun

He sighed in his heart. How can there be so many noble people?

But now, the price of regret is too high.

But at this moment, everyone's feeling is almost the same, like a wound opened by a sharp weapon, with blood trickling out of it. Want to try to block it with your hand, but this bitterness still flows through your fingers, through your skin, and flows out unscrupulously.

These people have enough courage to criticize anything. Not everyone, like him, doesn't have much concern on the earth.

Even when he faced something, he could only turn around cowardly and bite his teeth to leave.

No courage to look back.

"Alas, I wish I had been admitted to graduate school... I could be a year or two later. I'm going to hibernate next Wednesday. Now I'm taking injections and medicine. "

"Yes."

One of the girls couldn't help sobbing.

Then the atmosphere spread to others. There was a sob on the table. Even some boys couldn't help feeling sad.

There are not many people with sober authority in the spacecraft. Except Zhang Yuan, these partners are basically arranged to hibernate.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing to be the last to give to others.

"Well, well, don't cry. I'll give you a little gift! From the earth! "

Zhang Yuan ran back to the dormitory and gave them some of his beloved beef jerky.

It really hurts!

He just wanted the food to distract them.

However, chewing the hometown beef jerky, the bitterness seems to be more obvious

……

In this way, about 5000 people and nearly 1% of the population go into hibernation every day, and the total population on the spacecraft begins to be scarce.

As the hibernation program continued, many unnecessary facilities, including various entertainment places and ecological parks, began to close one after another. The whole ecological environment, like the leaves on dead trees, began to wither one by one.

But this is necessary. The long and difficult winter can be safely spent in a special way.

According to the plan of the captain's office, these graduate students can choose to complete their studies on the ship, which is a great privilege.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan will continue to work on the spacecraft for a year.

In theory, according to his current study progress, he can graduate his master's degree in advance. However, deep space university has no plan to recruit doctoral students for the time being, and will not open a small stove for him alone.

Anyway, being idle is also idle. There is no way to study for a doctor. It's good to spend more time in the master's stage and learn more.

This day happened to be a rest day. He and Li Zhendong studied in the library.

"Alas, about 2000 people chose to be deserters... Why should they be deserters? Some things have no way back. " Li Zhendong brushed his mobile phone and saw a not so wonderful news. He said reluctantly.

"Our brothers still have integrity!"

"My father warned me seriously that if I became a deserter, I would freeze to death outside."

I don't know whether he is feeling, admiring, or strengthening his determination.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the news report: about 2000 people, unable to withstand such pressure, chose to leave the earth times. From the Europa industrial base, a spaceship loaded them to return to earth civilization again. Anyway, all kinds of reasons, mental diseases, or physical problems, etc

He shook his head and sighed, "otherwise? Their hearts don't belong here anymore. Force them to stay in the ship? impossible. It's better to go back in despair. "

These people who temporarily repent will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

This is worse than deserting soldiers. Even if they return to earth again, their whole life will be over. Whether in terms of public opinion or policy, earth civilization has enough means and ability to punish these cowards.

At this time, Zhang Yuan suddenly received a phone call.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, it's not good!"

"There is a very bad news to tell you..." is Ye Kaifu's voice. I don't know why, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuan's heart clicked.

"...." Ye Kaifu hesitated and couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Yuan found that ye Kaifu's tone was not very beautiful and his heart beat faster.

He accentuated his tone. "What's the matter? Someone copied my paper again? "

"No, no... I just passed by area a and heard a grapevine."

"The painter you know, Elvin, is dead!"

"Dead... Dead?!" Zhang Yuan's pupils were slightly enlarged and his hair stood upright.

How is that possible?

"It's suicide..."

"... why?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Yuan sat blankly in his seat. The artist Elvin was not very close to him, but he also had a little friendship. He was a friend. Why did he suddenly die?

Vaguely, there seems to be a little speculation.

The sudden bad news made him a little out of breath.

A few days ago, there were people who said they had a smile. Suddenly they died and never saw them again.

This feeling is subtle.

After a while, a message came from his wrist watch. Looking down, it was his superior liaison Lin Xuan who asked him to go to area A.

It was too late to think more. Zhang Yuan got up and hurried over.

"Did you call me about Mr. Elvin?" Zhang Yuan said that as soon as he saw her.

There was no smile on Lin Xuan's face. She sighed: "yes, the painter committed suicide. He has some relics to hand over to you. Please follow me! "

Zhang Yuan followed her and hurried to area A.

From a distance, I saw a white cloth, below which was Elvin's body, surrounded by a group of serious soldiers.

The captain and several senior officials are frowning to discuss how to deal with the matter.

An officer nearby said to Zhang Yuan, "we found your friend dead in the star library. The cause of death was asphyxia. The glass helmet was opened due to illegal operation, resulting in oxygen leakage... "

"When we received the automatic alarm of the spacesuit and rushed there urgently, it was already late."

"Can I see him?" Zhang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered.

"You, please."

Pulling aside this layer of white cloth, Zhang Yuan saw the dead painter.

It was not the first time he witnessed death, but at this moment, his heart beat twice.
