"Girl!"

Tang Yue's muscles twitched and he suddenly raised his head.

It was already bright outside, the bright sunlight fell on the floor through the portholes, and swirling dust floated in the air. Tang Yue blinked hard and looked around. The time was now 9:40 in the morning, and he was the only one in the hall.

Man, the old cat should have gone out to move solar panels.

Half of Tang Yue's face was numb, and he was drooling all over the table. It was obvious that he slept on the table all night last night, and the bastard Old Mao didn't wake him up and let him sleep on the bed. Tang Yue

Yue recalled her last conversation with Maidong... She told herself not to fall asleep no matter what, and wait for her to come back.

Thinking of this, Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat.

No, let me go.

Damn it.

Judging from the current situation, he must have failed to persist until the space station left the no-signal zone. He has slept like a pig since last night.

Tang Yue picked up the draft paper soaked in saliva on the table, threw it aside, then put on his earphones and called the United Space Station.

He was thinking about how to apologize to Maidong.

There was only a sizzling noise in the earphones. Tang Yue took off the earphones and patted them. There was still no signal. The communication quality between Kunlun Station and the Joint Space Station was getting worse and worse. Recently, even the most basic voice calls were not possible.

Guaranteed... Tang Yue glanced at the time and realized that the United Space Station might be in the no-signal zone at this time.

He simply washed up and started eating breakfast. Taking advantage of this gap, he could think carefully about how to explain to Ophiopogon japonicus later.

Sorry, I was too sleepy so I couldn't hold on?

This is entirely the responsibility of my eyelids. They disobeyed the instructions of the brain and closed them without permission?

Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. As compensation, all the lobsters on the cargo spacecraft will be yours?

Tang Yue slowly ate biscuits and waited for the signal from the space station, while thinking about whether he could plug Ophiopogon japonicus's mouth with lobster.

If lobster doesn't work, add canned fruit.

With a "click", the hatch of the airlock opened, and the old cat came back with heavy steps. It locked the hatch, turned around and glanced at Tang Yue, without saying anything, walked straight to the wall and took out the tools hanging on his body.

Put it on the shelf, then return to the table and sit down.

"Have the battery panels been put in place?" Tang Yue asked.

"Um."

"Is there any problem with stray dogs?"

"Um."

"What is today's work? Continue to refine the rendezvous procedure?"

"Um."

"Communications with the space station are getting worse."

"Um."

Tang Yue glanced at the old cat. The cat seemed duller than before.

"Is this earphone broken? It's been barking from beginning to end. Old cat, can you fix this thing?" Tang Yue took off the earphone and shook it.

"There's nothing wrong with the headphones." Old Cat said calmly.

"So there is something wrong with the communication system?" Tang Yue frowned.

The old cat raised its head and stared straight at Tang Yue. It was hard to tell what kind of gaze it was in those eyes, as if it was trying to penetrate Tang Yue's body. The latter was stunned, and Tang Yue's scalp was numb from looking at it.

, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you waiting for Miss Maidong?"

"Yes..." Tang Yue nodded, "She should be in the no-signal area now, and she will be there later..."

Tang Yue suddenly froze, and the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.

He has been waiting for Ophiopogon japonicus since he woke up, and has been waiting until now. After washing up and having breakfast, even the old cat who does daily routine work has returned, but there is still no news from the United Space Station.

If she is in the no-signal zone, then the no-signal zone is too long.

With a click, the earphones fell on the table, and Tang Yue suddenly became at a loss.

"Don't wait any longer." The old cat looked away and said softly.

Tang Yue was stunned and immediately realized what the old cat meant, but he didn't believe it. How could this be possible? The Joint Space Station was obviously still at a safe altitude, it was obviously still at a safe altitude! Tang Yue sat down and turned on the computer and communications

System, frantically searching for signals from the United Space Station, but his hands were trembling, and then his whole body began to tremble. He held the mouse and clicked the buttons on the computer desktop. He clicked several times in a row but failed to click.

"Don't scare me...don't scare me, don't scare me, don't scare me, don't scare me, girl..."

Old Mao sat across from him without saying a word, watching Tang Yueqiong make every effort to contact the space station.

Watching his hands that slowly stopped shaking started to tremble again, watching his gradually speeding up movements slowing down again, watching him push away all the tools he could use, and finally watching him sit on the chair,

Motionless, like a stone statue.

"Say...we agreed for eleven days..." Tang Yue's Adam's apple moved and his voice was dry and hoarse. He had never been so helpless at this moment. He looked around and couldn't find anyone to pray to.

, "As agreed...there is...a hundred kilometers..."

"Put on the headphones." Old Mao threw the headphones over and threw them into Tang Yue's arms.

Tang Yue put on his headphones.

There is no current noise in the headphones, it is very quiet, only the soft breathing of a girl.

Tang Yue jumped up as if he was electrocuted and looked at the old cat in surprise.

The latter shook his head and pointed to the computer, "This is a recording."

Tang Yue didn't have time to say anything. He pressed the earphone, held his breath, and waited for the person in the earphone to speak.

"Mr. Cat." Maidong spoke, still with a familiar crisp voice, and Tang Yue's body trembled.

"Miss Maidong."

This is the voice of an old cat.

"Is Tang Yue asleep?"

"Yes, he fell asleep lying on the table. He slept very well." The old cat said, "I just gave him three big ear scrapers and kicked him on the butt, but he still slept well.

Like a dead pig."

The girl smiled bitterly and sighed faintly, "Then let him continue sleeping. He is too tired."

"good."

"Tang Yue promised not to fall asleep, but he fell asleep again. He still owes me a lot of stories that he didn't tell." Maidong said, "Did the monitor who beat up the teacher when he was in middle school be expelled in the end?

, did his physical education teacher and art teacher become a couple later, and whether the old man guarding the school gate was a relative of the principal... He didn't even tell me."

"Will have the opportunity next time."

"Mr. Cat, it's already the seventh day."

"Yes"

"The space station's life is coming to an end."

"No, the remaining life of the space station is between seven and eleven days..."

"Mr. Cat." Maidong interrupted.

The old cat was silent for a moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"I am looking at the land of Mars under my feet now, and I feel that it is very close to me. I am on the space station, so I know best how long the space station will last." Maidong said softly, in a calm and calm tone, "This

It is a small boat that is about to sink, and it is an old man who is in his final years and suffering from terminal illness. I watch its life passing by bit by bit every day. Like us, it is trying hard and tenaciously to survive."

"Miss Maidong." The old cat couldn't say anything. It was useless to say anything at this time.

"Like us, it is trying hard and tenaciously to survive. Keep living..." The girl's steady voice was suddenly broken and she began to tremble. She bit her lip and tried her best to suppress her crying, "But Mr. Cat... I..."

I really want to live, I really want to live, I want to go down and meet you, I want to marry Tang Yue, I want to have my own children..."

"Why...why can't I have my own life...why do I have to face this fate..." Maidong couldn't suppress her emotions. She hugged herself tightly and cried bitterly, crying so hard that her whole body trembled.

Tears floated and rolled in the glass mask, "What did I do wrong... What did I do wrong... Do this to me..."

The old cat was silent.

"Bastard! Bastard...bastard...bastard...bastard..."

Maidong hammered the inner wall of the Crystal cabin one by one, crying until his whole body became weak.

The old cat still didn't speak. It was indeed a bastard. Tang Yue was also a bastard. All mankind were bastards. With so many people and such a huge civilization, it couldn't even protect the happiness of a little girl.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's crying gradually subsided.

Maidong sniffed and calmed down, "I made you laugh, Mr. Cat."

"No, I should apologize to you. Both Tang Yue and I should apologize to you." The old cat shook his head, "I'm sorry, Miss Maidong, we can't save you."
