106. The things that fall from the sky

Jupiter occupied the entire field of view, and the large red spots on the surface stared at them like a red eyeball.
Chen Yue watched helplessly as most of the fragments of the escape pod were captured by Europa's gravity and fell to the planet with smooth appearance and scratches on her body like a golf ball.
Countless fragments separated as soon as they entered the atmosphere, gradually moving away. They rubbed with the atmosphere and emitted a faint red light.
There is a larger fragment in it like a figure. Its initial speed continues to accelerate, and it squeezes and rubs against the thin atmosphere, and its color gradually changes to fiery red.
...
"Are there meteorites here too? It's rare."
A metal maze composed of a compressed metal group, a range of dozens of kilometers. Two figures wearing thick protective clothing are searching for a pile of metals.
One of the figures looked up inadvertently and noticed a rain of red meteorites falling from the sky as the background of Jupiter.
"Hurry and find resources in this batch of garbage. I don't want to stay outside for a moment. The birds are about to freeze." His companion pushed him and cursed.
Unmoved, he raised his head and followed the largest and most obvious meteorite.
The bright star was knocked down with a long tail like a comet, and its fall seemed to be only ten kilometers away from here.
"Do you want to go and see?" He was eager to try, feeling that it would land in less than ten seconds.
"It's just a meteorite, what's so good about it?" The companion controlled the exoskeleton and raised a piece of scrap metal and threw it aside.
"It doesn't look like... maybe it's the wreckage of the spacecraft fell down?" He hesitated, and then his eyes lit up.
The companion stopped moving, then turned to him, revealing his hideous face covered with scars in his protective suit: "Okay, if not, I will kill you."
...
The human-shaped fragment finally approached the ground and fell on a layer of ice.
boom!
The moment the fragments hit, a circle of shock waves spread out, and the sound followed.
A meteorite crater with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on a thick layer of ice, and the water vapor rose, making the area rendered like a hot spring.
"Well……"
A few minutes later, a sound of a drowning person floating on the water surface and breathing violently came from the bottom of the pit.
“It’s so cold!”
Europa, a planet covered with ice layers of up to 100,000 meters thick, and below is an ocean. The temperature here is maintained at -150°c all year round, making the poles even colder.
The experience of the earth tells us that where there is water, there is life. However, in subsequent explorations, humans discovered that there are only basic single-cell organisms here.
It's like the early Earth, but there's more water.
There may be real creatures under the 100 kilometers of ice, but only if humans have the ability and seem to hurt to dig it out.
Given that Europa is extremely cold and cannot transform the atmosphere and does not have the supplies needed by humans, most chaebols regard Europa as a garbage disposal plant.
They mine nuclear fusion-related resources in Jupiter's outer space, and then push useless waste items that require high money to be destroyed to Europa. You should know that littering in the universe is a serious illegal act.
If your spacecraft explodes unexpectedly, you not only have to bear the loss of the spacecraft, but also bear a huge amount of environmental pollution costs.
Therefore, their behavior has led to a new profession and population.
Gold diggers and escapers.
The former has a small broken spacecraft of its own, which is in and out of Europa, focusing on collecting garbage landing points of various chaebol groups and extracting precious metals from it. The latter is a crime in the federal government and has nowhere to escape. It has taken the horizon and fled.
Go to the unknown corner of Europa and build your own shelter. Rely on the materials you find from the garbage dump to make a living.
There are often some transactions between the two. Escapers look for precious metals and provide gold diggers with resources and entertainment facilities needed to survive.
For example, a female synthesizer.
This frozen planet less than half the size of the Earth only has more than a thousand people survive here. Considering that new fugitives arrive and old fugitives die every year, it roughly maintains a slow-growing balance.
Declare in advance that all this is illegal.
Mu Su, who was covered in wisps of his body, used his hands and feet, humming the Terminator theme song and climbed out of the crater out of the heat. His clothes were burned when they fell.
He felt that he was not very lucky, at least he didn't fall into Jupiter.
When you look up, you can see that the horizon almost occupy the entire sky, with a distinct layered sense of flowers. The red red spots that look down at Europa, which looks like the eyes.
Mu Soda, who climbed onto the ground, shivered. Looking around, the extremely smooth planet allowed him to see the end of the horizon at a glance.
Among them, Mu Su saw a black dot moving a few kilometers away in the ice layer and approaching here.
A vehicle.
Mu Su immediately crawled and slid back into the crater from above.
He was confused about whether to play the Terminator or Dragon Ball Melody, and finally he chose everything.
"The stars blink, the moon draws a question mark. The comet drags its long tail and rainbows to build a bridge~"
While waiting, Mu Su heard the sound of driving from above. He quickly closed his mouth and half-squatted in the ice water deep in ankle, one of his arms sag naturally.
...
A crawler with a dilapidated appearance and a quilt on the surface was parked more than ten meters away from the crater.
Rowell jumped out of the car first, and a few ice flowers splashed beside his nailed shoes. His scarred companions followed closely behind. The two approached the steam-walking crater step by step.
As the fog rose, a figure gradually emerged from the bottom of the pit.
"That's...one person...!" Rowell screamed in dismay, and he had goose bumps all over his body.
But the figure at the bottom of the pit slowly stood up.
This is a young man with black hair and black eyes and pale skin. He looks indifferent and doesn't even look at the two people above the edge.
He raised his head and looked at the starry sky. Then his knees bent, as if he was about to jump out of the crater.
The two of them quickly panicked and retreated.
The young man jumped up just over a dozen centimeters and fell back into the accumulated water.
He was in a mess, half-squatting on the ground and panting quickly, and muttering to himself: "Damn it... Is chakra insufficient?"
He staggered and stood up, his black eyes moved onto the two of them. His black eyes were plain and unpleasant.
"Who are you...?"
The two looked at each other. A man fell from the outer space, minus 183 degrees without any trace, and was safe and sound.
"I am Rowell, this is my companion... Lily." Rowell shouted with a tough bullet.
It's stupid for a man to call this name, especially a man with scars on his face.
“You are…?”
"Sun Wukong." The young man spoke indifferently.
"Aren't you cold?" Rowell couldn't help asking.
At this moment, a cold wind blew through the bottom of the pit, blowing away the steam.
"Saiya's people are not afraid of the cold..."
Chapter completed!
