"Ah..."

The first to return is pain.

Then, with a cold feeling climbing up the spine from the bottom of his feet, Johnson suddenly opened his eyes and woke up shivering from his sleep.

"Shetter! It's cold... "

He was shivering with cold. Johnson tried to huddle up, only to find that he was fixed on the bed board by nylon fastener.

Stretch out the cold fingers to untie the moving button. He picked the bed board with one hand, supported his body with one hand, and slowly floated up, and sat on the bed board.

At this time, he noticed that the Chinese researcher who had injected himself with antibody was sitting on the bench beside the bed and looking at him.

"Your metabolism is still very low. It's normal for you to feel cold."

"I How long did you sleep? "

Zhao Shuxuan looks at the timer on his wrist.

"About 27 days."

"27 days?!" His eyes widened in surprise, and Johnson murmured, "unbelievable."

Zhao Shuxuan: "what's the problem?"

“…… When I was in the Marine Corps, I was in a coma for a week because of my injuries, and I spent a full month in a hospital bed. I remember that when I was just allowed to get out of bed and walk, my muscles were torn. With the help of the medical staff, it took me half a month to walk normally. "

Speaking of this, Johnson raised his arm, looked at his hands in disbelief, paused for a long time, and then continued, "but now, I feel like I've slept for a long time Siesta? "

"It's really strange that not exercising for a long time will lead to muscle atrophy, but the pheromone secreted by x-0172 bacteria will prevent this, and protect the resting cells while promoting the cells to enter into dormancy," said Professor Zhao Shuxuan, looking at the Johnson who sat up from the bed. "The specific physiological and chemical process is still under study, if you have a good understanding of If you are interested, you can pay attention to the following research progress. "

Hearing the word "x-0172 bacteria", Johnson's expression immediately became tense and asked Zhao Shuxuan.

"How's the Martian bacteria on me now?"

Zhao Shuxuan: "it has been cleaned up."

Johnson was relieved to hear that.

A big stone hanging in his heart finally landed on the ground.

Bacteria have been removed from Mars.

Now he should be able to go home.

After his safety has been guaranteed, he finally remembered that he had two teammates.

After a pause, he said casually.

"Where are Jones and Tavi? How are my two players doing now? "

Zhao Shuxuan looked at the timer on his eyes and wrists again, and replied in a voice without any mood fluctuation: "Jones woke up 15 minutes earlier than you. Now he is probably in the multi-functional service cabin to deal with personal hygiene. As for Tavi, his situation may be a little complicated. "

"What's the matter with Tavi?" Johnson said with a slight pause

Zhao Shuxuan eyes with some dignified, silent for a while, said.

"In general, the way we remove the x-0172 bacteria is to prevent it from forming spores, and then kill it with antibodies. However, his condition is a little special, because he is born with an immune response to x-0172 bacteria, which leads to the spores in his body being attacked all the time. Even if we injected him with pheromone for blocking, we did not wake up the spores in his body to become nutrient cells. "

Johnson swallowed and asked, "that is to say..."

"He's still in a coma, or sleep," Zhao Shuxuan patted him on the shoulder and rose up slowly from his chair. "Don't worry too much. We'll find a way to cure him."

“…… Thank you. "

Johnson smiled weakly.

He's not very worried about that.

He doesn't like the player who doesn't obey the command. The reason why I care about it casually is just because of the captain's duty. As for whether that guy can wake up at last, what does it have to do with him?

Anyway, Ares plan has been a total failure.

Just then, the medical cabin door opened and a bearded researcher floated in.

When he saw Johnson sitting on the bed board, Professor Stephen immediately floated forward and stood on the edge of the bed board.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! You've suffered How're you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable? "

Blinded by the enthusiastic Professor Stephen, Johnson looked at Zhao Shuxuan with an expression that didn't understand the situation.

Zhao Shuxuan coughed a little and explained to him, "this is Professor Stephen from Stanford University and a microbiology expert appointed by the US government."At this point, he paused for a moment and looked at the wrist timer for the third time.

"It seems that you need a little time, so I won't disturb you."

With that, Zhao Shuxuan drifted to the door and left the space of "reminiscence" for two people.

Looking at the slowly closed cabin door, Johnson finally came back to his senses, remembering the greetings the professor had thrown before, and after a moment's hesitation, he said.

"I'm all right now. We When can I go home? "

Professor Stephen patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "soon, the magpie bridge is on its way to the Moon Palace. The Chinese promised us to take the returning magpie bridge back to the international space station. There will be special spacecraft to take us home. "

Finally, I can go home.

John feels that this is probably the best news he has heard in more than two months.

Looking at Johnson with a soothing expression, Professor Stephen continued with interest, "how does it feel on Mars, to say the least? Is it convenient to have a chat? "

Johnson: " Is this part of the physical examination? "

"No, it's just my personal interest," Professor Stephen continued, shaking his head and laughing. "You're human heroes. No one has ever printed their footprints on that desert planet, but you've done it! I'm curious about what life is like on Mars. I heard you planted potatoes there? With Martian soil? How does it taste? Is it delicious? "

Heroes Is it?

Johnson's smile was bitter in the face of Professor Stephen's questions.

Yes, they succeeded in printing their footprints on Mars, but the Chinese brought them back from there.

Anyway, this is not a successful landing.

And the end result is exactly the same. The new Virginia life support unit was sunk in the sandstorm sweeping the world, and they were forced to withdraw completely after nearly a month.

Looking at the silvery white star outside the window, Johnson took a deep breath and slowly said his feelings.

"This feeling You don't want to come a second time. "

"It's terrible."
