Chapter 75 Silence(1/3)
The flying car landed slowly on Aston Street.
Getting out of the car, Michelle straightened her clothes and walked towards the reception hall of Hamilton Airport.
There were not many people in the reception hall, and it was deserted. Only the large screen above still displayed the spacecraft's travel schedule.
At the bottom of the flight chart, there is a row of small red letters.
"Feiyu 13 resumes takeoff."
Shen Yi's guess was correct. After the Jupiter separatists left Krusgen, the no-fly order was terminated.
Michelle came to the ticket collection window.
The conductor scanned Michelle's identity chip and said: "Don Michelle, you have booked a ticket for Feiyu No. 13."
"Yes."
"Please take it, here is your ticket."
Michelle took the ticket and was slightly stunned: "I booked the ordinary cabin, but the one you gave me was the VIP cabin."
"Yes sir, the ordinary cabins have been cancelled, and all ordinary cabins have been upgraded to VIP cabins."
"I don't understand, why is this?"
The conductor replied: "There are not enough passengers. Many customers who booked tickets have refunded their tickets. It's not like the previous incidents."
"You mean..." Michelle threw a cigarette to the conductor.
The conductor took it, sniffed it first, and then nodded and said: "Authentic hand-rolled cigarettes from Sirsey Farm, good stuff."
Michelle took this when she stole the car. For the sake of the cigarette, and there was no one in the reception hall, the conductor replied:
"The Narga spaceport incident. Everyone can see that those guys want to leave Crusgan. The direction of the Rover is Tatooine, and the Flying Fish 13 is also heading to Tatooine. You know, no one wants to touch it. Go to those separatists."
Michelle understood that although the Galactic Empire had lifted the no-fly order, the attack on Narga Spaceport had made most people afraid to take a spaceship to Tatooine.
"So Feiyu upgrades ordinary class passengers to VIP class? Give some discounts to those passengers who are still willing to take the ship?"
"Discount? That bitch Sheryl wouldn't be so generous." The receptionist laughed: "The upgrade to the ordinary cabin was because the ordinary cabin was modified. Due to the loss of a large number of passengers, that bitch Sheryl wanted to I made money and took over a government business."
"what business?"
The conductor shook his head: "Transporting prisoners, a group of extremely vicious prisoners."
"Let the prisoners sit in the same boat with us?" Michelle frowned.
"Yeah, so I suggest you take it easy, man...if you want to give up, I can give you a refund for the sake of this cigarette."
"No, thank you. I have an urgent need to go to Tatooine, and I don't plan to change my plans for the time being." Michelle took out the box of cigarettes, threw it to the conductor, and left.
The conductor was very satisfied and shouted to his back: "A generous person will be rewarded!"
Michelle didn't think this was a good thing.
With a frown on his face, he hurriedly left the reception hall and began searching for information about the transportation of prisoners.
Sure enough, he found an inconspicuous piece of news.
A group of about 3,000 prisoners will be exiled to Tatooine.
In the interstellar age, unless they are serious crimes such as treason and separatism, the death penalty has been abolished for most crimes. Instead, they are exiled to deserted areas, colonized planets, and engaged in heavy manual labor that cannot be replaced by robots.
As a semi-developed colonial planet, Tatooine is a penal colony for criminals. It is filled with all kinds of interstellar criminals, and all kinds of violence are performed every day, and the source of the violence is these prisoners being transported.
A group of prisoners suddenly appeared on Feiyu No. 13. What did this mean to him?
In the past, Michelle would not have considered this issue.
But now, he is alone and must face various complex problems alone, and every small change may lead to unpredictable consequences.
This forced him to treat it with caution.
He has followed Shen Yi for a long time, and has gradually become accustomed to some of Shen Yi's ways of thinking.
So I quickly realized that this was definitely not good news for me.
Feiyu 13 was originally an ordinary passenger spacecraft and did not have much warning power of its own.
But after adding 3,000 prisoners, the Feiyu will definitely improve its internal security capabilities.
This means that Michelle may face more enemies than previously expected.
"What a damn accident!" Michelle cursed.
At this point, Michel could only hope that these prisoners would not affect his plans.
Well, speaking of plans, Michelle suddenly realized that she didn't actually have a feasible plan to seize the spaceship. What should she do?
He felt a headache.
It would be nice if the chief was here...
—————————————
Maddening silence.
Dead space is like space without stars, more desolate than desolate and more void than nothingness.
Shen Yi didn't know how long time had passed, but it felt so long.
At first, he struggled to find a way to escape.
But he soon discovered that in this absolute nothingness, he could not use his strength, and he could not use his wisdom.
So he began to calm himself down, telling himself that his friends would not give up on him and they would definitely come to save him.
He decided to wait.
The long waiting time was a bit boring. In order to determine the time, Shen Yi counted the ticks by himself.
But soon, the numbers became confusing.
At this time, Shen Yi felt a little irritable in his heart.
However, he knew that time flowed at a different speed in dreams, so he had to wait patiently, and irritability was the biggest enemy of patience.
So he started counting again.
Later, when he counted to forty-six thousand three hundred and eighty-four times, he finally gave up completely.
If measured in seconds, that's almost twelve hours.
Shen Yi knew that there was a kind of confinement in military camps or prisons, which was a dark room.
It is said that this is an extremely terrifying mental torture. Even if it is locked up for only three days, it can make people shed tears of pain. Even the most tenacious people cannot survive it. If it lasts longer, they may even die.
In this space, Shen Yi will not age, starve, or die.
So he is destined to have only one ending - mental breakdown.
Shen Yi didn't know how long he could last, but he knew that even as an adventurer, he would not be able to compete with time.
Sooner or later, this dead world will destroy him, numb his nerves, and destroy his will.
At this time, Shen Yi finally felt panic in his heart.
He became anxious.
Anxiety is like a seed that sprouts in the heart and grows rapidly.
He shouted in the void and called desperately, but he got no response.
He wanted to initiate communication and connect with any existence that could be connected, including the girl in white who had helped him countless times and could make all impossible things possible. As long as she was willing to take herself away from this damn world, even if she let him go He can also accept the attack on the Supreme Council.
All of this was met with no response.
The long wait and endless emptiness are like the nutrients of anxiety, breeding the crazy soul in Shen Yi's heart.
At this time, Shen Yi finally entered a state of hysterical madness.
He shouted loudly and even kept attacking himself, but found that he couldn't even hurt himself. Even if he wanted to hit the wall, he couldn't find the wall, and if he wanted to run, he couldn't find the ground.
He just kept falling!
Shen Yi began to despair.
At this time, he became quiet instead.
He suddenly felt that this was a good thing.
For a long time, in the world of the bloody city, I have been fighting, planning, fighting again, planning again, calculating the gains and losses, but there has never been a moment to let my heart rest.
Maybe, now, the mind can rest.
So he drifted and fell like that, looking at the endless dark void, but he began to think about it endlessly in his mind.
He was thinking about everything that had happened around him.
First, I want to enter the city.
I remember it since I was a child.
Many memories that had been forgotten by him miraculously appeared at this time, such as the good times of childhood, the first kiss, wishes, the longing for a better future, the first setback in life, etc., etc., etc. Memories surfaced one after another.
To be continued...
