    Chapter 245 Asteroid

    Shannan couldn't wait to answer, and a drop of coldness fell on the tip of his nose. He looked up in shock. When he looked up, he saw countless snowflakes falling vertically, densely packed, blocking the gloomy sky.

    The surrounding temperature began to drop. The radiation protection suit could only protect against radiation. It had no insulation effect. The outside temperature could hit Shannan's skin without any interference.

    It was still hot when I first went out. I felt like I was wearing too many layers and the heat was unbearable.

    Snowflakes continued to fall all around, creating an atmosphere of endless silence. Until the sultry feeling in the radiation-proof suit began to dissipate, the skin that had been soaked soft by the heat began to tighten due to the low temperature, and the muscles all over the body slowly contracted.

    Shang Nan shivered uncontrollably. He shook his teeth and looked down into Ning Yi's eyes.

    Ning Yi stood up, turned around, and turned his back to Shannan, "Team leader, winter is coming."

    14 spent a lot of effort to follow the local airliner all the way to the outside of the atmosphere. Afraid of being detected by Ning Yi, it hastily captured a video and ran back.

    So even if Shangnan is in it, extremely small, he can still see clearly that Planet A has changed into various shapes at this moment. It is rotating faster than before. From Shangnan's perspective, it is as white as frost from left toRight began to occupy the entire planet, leaving no trace behind. The planet, which had become no healthier than before, ushered in a new round of tests.

    The watch on his wrist showed the temperature: -24, while the body surface temperature instantly dropped to 32, which was soon close to deathly low temperatures.

    Shan Nan pushed Ning Yi away and staggered towards the place where the car was parked. No matter what Ning Yi wanted to do, he couldn't die now.

    He took off his radiation-proof clothing and boots outside the car, stuffed them into the trunk, climbed into the driver's seat, and turned on the air conditioner in the car stiffly. The moment the warm air came out, Shang Nan felt like he wasAlmost melted into the chair.

    The collision of different temperatures caused a layer of mist to instantly condense on the car window. Shangnan's body slowly returned to warmth. He lay on the car window and looked out. 14 allowed him to see clearly and far away.

    The air must have become cleaner. The dust floating in the air was washed back to the ground by the heavy snow. The pile of meteorites as tall as a hillside was quickly covered with a thick layer of white, turning from an ordinary hillside into a small snow mountain.iceberg.

    My eyes followed the pile of meteorites, which was a vast expanse of white. Farther away, the vehicles on the road lost their direction due to the ice on the road and crashed into one piece. The faces of the humans running home on the road were frozen and bruised, and they could squeeze through.Those who go indoors, such as shops, can find a way to survive, but those who bump around on the road will soon face hypothermia and eventually fall to the ground.

    The Xishi Observatory issued a broadcast, asking the general public to end their stay outside and go home as soon as possible. All communities were asked to collect the supplies needed for winter and report them. The rescue teams from each district were asked to be in place within half an hour. Please report the suffering situation promptly and accurately.Remember, protecting all life on the planet comes first, including yourself.

    The broadcast was repeated countless times. The current temperature in West City has dropped to minus 50. The wind howled like ghosts and wolves howled. It hit the buildings like knives and the street lamp poles were shaken by the wind.

    Shan Nan glanced at Ning Yi. Ning Yi bent down and picked up a piece of snow on the ground, and threw it towards him.

    The snowball hit the windshield and spread like a small avalanche.

    Ning Yi's relaxed and comfortable attitude was in contrast to everyone on Planet A. Shang Nan stared at him for a long time and suddenly felt his throat was itchy. He couldn't help but scratch it with his fingers.

    Before coughing, Shang Nan took out a thick stack of tissues from under the seat and put it in the palm of his hand. The itching in his throat could no longer be tolerated. He bent over and coughed between his legs, and the blood turned pink like rouge quickly.Soaked the entire stack of paper towels.

    [14: It’s very realistic, right? Even if it moves you, you still don’t want to leave here. Love is never as great as human beings imagine.]

    "What have you been reading lately? You're talking strangely." Shang Nan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in front of the mirror. He calmly folded the tissue into a square piece, "I don't know why, but I don't care about death at all.I don’t feel anything at all.”

    14 It can be felt that anyone's emotions will fluctuate when they learn that there is a fatal problem in their body. What's more, Shannan knew that his death was approaching, but Shannan didn't. At first, he was just shocked that his life was so short in this world.His fear was very low.

    The passenger door was suddenly opened, and Ning Yi's figure appeared outside. The temperature outside the car was lower than Shannan had imagined, like an extremely low-temperature freezer suddenly opening its door in front of him.

    Seeing Shang Nan's pale face, Ning Yi, who had originally planned to show him the snowy scenery, suddenly got into the car and closed the door.

    He quickly smelled the smell of blood in the car, "Are you coughing up blood again?"

    Shannan and Ning Yi returned to the observatory together. The place was extremely efficient. When they returned to the observatory, their cold-proof clothes were ready. This seemed to be a phenomenon they had expected.

    The cold-proof suit is completely black and has a reflective patch on the back. Although it is bloated and clumsy, it does feel a lot better after wearing it.

    In the ice and snow, Shang Nan looked down from the window in the corridor. The observatory is now the central unit of all regions. They not only grasp weather phenomena, but also outside the stars, they are the most relied on effective unit at present.

    The rescue team wore red, which spread like blood on the snow. The red rescue vehicle drove onto the road and flowed out like meteors.

    Shang Nan looked into the distant distance, nothing could be seen anymore, it was all white, like the Ice Age.

    Paul used a kettle to boil a pot of water. The water pipe was frozen and he was repairing it. He boiled the pot of water several times.

    "Humans still know how to save themselves, but animals and plants are really suffering. The news just now is that no living creatures can be detected in the West City forest." Paul's emotions were complicated between his brows. "Within three days, everyone mustMoving into the underground city, the environment on the ground can no longer survive."

    "By the way, Shan Nan, your mother called you this morning. Remember to call her back."

    Shannan leaned against the wall of the corridor, and Ning Yi stood not far from him. He looked at Paul who was sitting in the office. He had already stood up and was packing his bags. He must be leaving too.

    Shang Nan took out the communication device from the inside of his jacket with difficulty, dialed the communication number of his parents, and called the first time, but no one answered.

    The phone was connected only after the fifth call. My mother on the other side of the phone burst into tears before she heard Shannan speak, "Come back, come back. The planet is going to end, everyone is going to end, we should be a family."If we are together, even if we die, we will die together."

    My father didn't say anything on the other side. He just worked at the observatory until he retired. He always respected the decision to admire the south.

    The mother was not so respectful because Shan Nan stayed in her belly for ten months. She was heartbroken for no apparent reason. If she knew that her child would not live much longer, the reason would be obvious.

    "We need people here, I have to go on a mission later," Shannan sighed, "You and your father have to transfer to the underground car with the necessary supplies before tonight."

    Listening to the mother on the other end crying, Shan Nan paused and said, "I will apply to the superiors to bring you and your father to the West City."

    Shang Nan turned around again and looked downstairs. The ground that had been traced by the rescue vehicle was filled with ice again by heavy snow. He was from this world, and everything he did was for the life forms on this planet..

    He looked at Ning Yi. Ning Yi was not afraid of such weather. He didn't even wear a coat properly. He was carefully observing the boots on his feet.

    Feeling Shang Nan's gaze, he raised his head keenly.

    Ning Yi came towards Shang Nan.

    "Team leader, why didn't you tell Paul my identity?" Ning Yi pressed his forehead against the cold glass surface and turned his head to stare at Shang Nan's frosty face.

    "If exposing your identity is useful, I will definitely not hesitate." Shannan said.

    Ning Yi clicked his tongue and he leaned over, "How will you know if you don't try?"

    "You can't bear to leave me?"

    "No."

    Ning Yi pursed his lips. He paused for a long time. In the past, he would directly ridicule Shang Nan's narcissism, but not this time. He said with an indifferent expression: "Okay, it doesn't matter, then let's get along well in the last period of time."

    Shan Nan resisted the urge to screw Ning Yi to death.Although it can't be done.

    Shang Nan holds an electronic screen in his hand, which is connected to multiple aircraft over the West City, monitoring the movement and status of the meteorites above, as well as weather changes and what is expected to happen in the past half hour.

    He was in charge of two rescue teams, with Paul leading his team members and Ning Yi walking beside Shang Nan.

    He stepped on a bulging hard object under his feet, causing Shan Nan to stumble and throw himself forward with precision. Ning Yi quickly picked him up and regained his balance.

    Before he could say thank you, Ning Yi had already used his gloved hands to lift off the object that tripped Shan Nan. His fingers brushed away the thick snow on it, and his breath blocked his vision slightly. Paul and Chen Mian stood next to him..

    When he brushed away a corner, Chen Mian exclaimed and took two steps back in horror.

    What appeared under the snow was a face that had been frozen blue-white. He had already lost his breath, and his whole body was wrapped in a thin layer of ice. He had been lying on the ground for probably only a few hours.

    Ning Yi piled up the snow he had removed. He was calmer than anyone else. "Remember the data. We can't take away so many corpses."

    They only rescue living people, and living people are meaningful.

    The heavy snow completely covered the building. Icicles as thick as the waiter's arm hung on the awning of the store, and even bigger ones were on the buildings, giant icicles like rocket artillery, making people mistakenly think that they were on their own.What a world of ice and snow.

    The people below walked over cautiously. They did not pay attention to the objects above their heads. They focused on scanning for any living creatures nearby.

    Shang Nan changed the number of victims from 134 to 135, but did not notice that Ning Yi was very close to him.They were lagging behind the team, with snowflakes falling on their shoulders.

    "It will also snow like this on the White Leopard Star," Ning Yi suddenly said. As he spoke, clouds of white mist breathed out from his mouth, and white snowflakes fell into his gloved palms, "But it won'tIt’s very cold, so there will be many animals, such as white foxes and deer. The deer on the White Leopard Star are much larger than the deer on Planet A.”

    Yukouyukouzhengkouli.

    "The river water on the White Leopard Star is also clearer than the river water on Planet A. The forest is denser, the animals are healthier, and the air is fresher. But there are no humans on the White Leopard Star. In fact, I am not a human being. I am just on the White Leopard Star.a piece of rock, its core life form."

    "I didn't know that there was a planet that was very similar to the White Leopard Star. I didn't know that there would be a living being like you, with two hands on top and two feet on the bottom."

    "And there are so many of them, you guys are really capable of giving birth."

    "..."

    After a long time.

    He looked at Shang Nan's misty eyes, his palms slowly facing down, and the small accumulated snowflakes fell freely.

    Ning Yi smiled. His two small tiger teeth made him look approachable, and his eyes seemed to have entered the glacier. "Team leader, I miss home."

    Shannan saw a different emotion from Ning Yi's remaining eye, and his heart tightened.

    The number of victims in Xishi that day reached 607. After marking the location, a dedicated driver would dig out each body one by one and load it into the truck. After the identities were found, the family members came to claim them.

    There were cries and mourning in the square. While comforting everyone, the professor also asked everyone to quickly pack up their things and enter the underground city. Although the underground city is also at risk of collapse and being penetrated by meteorites, humans have no choice now.

    Shannan took out his luggage from the dormitory building and followed Ning Yi one step at a time. His physical strength was much worse than before. It was true that Paul said that he was not suitable to continue working. According to hissituation, he will soon become a drag on everyone.

    He didn't know whether he was in this world to complete a mission or to survive in dangerous situations, although the purpose of both was the same.

    Ning Yi turned around from the front, and Shannan was already far behind. He was wearing thick cold-proof clothing. The cold-proof clothing itself was extremely bulky and would wrap a person like a clumsy penguin.

    He was holding a duffel bag in one hand and trying to keep the satchel on his shoulder from falling off with the other.

    A tiny one.

    The vitality is really tenacious.

    The young man suddenly raised his legs and strode back. He quickly moved in front of Shan Nan, bent down and took the duffel bag from Shan Nan, carried it lightly and left.

    Even if Shang Nan chased the opponent with bare hands, it would be very difficult to chase him.

    "Ning Yi!" Shonan called him from behind, but he didn't respond. Shonan bent down and grabbed a snow dumpling and threw it at Ning Yi's back. The snow dumpling was soft and scattered instantly when it hit Ning Yi's back."Have you relented?"

    Shan Nan felt that Ning Yi's figure was about to be swallowed up by the white world, and so was he.

    As far as Shan Nan is concerned, he still has the last thing he can protect. At least it still exists and has not been destroyed.As for Ning Yi, he is floating in the universe, and there is nothing he can continue to protect.

    Its tall and straight back suddenly became rickety and small in Shang Nan's eyes, and its asteroid was just an ordinary asteroid.

    Ning Yi relented, because Shangnan, its existence here, has no meaning.

    Its existence will cause the Milky Way to once again lose a planet full of life forms, and it has become a stupid asteroid because of a human's stupid behavior.

    All life forms in the universe are equal. They all rely on air, water and a small amount of food to maintain their life activities, so their deaths look similar, including Shannan behind them.

    But the team leader, he seems to be different from other life forms. He cares about every life form on the planet, but why he cares, he doesn't know.

    It only knows that it really, really, really doesn’t want the life form in front of it to die in the vast universe.

    It cannot be turned into a wisp of smoke, it cannot be turned into a fossil, it can only live as a healthy and active human being on the planet beneath its feet as before.

    A whistling whistle sounded overhead, from far to near. Shannan and Ning Yi raised their heads at the same time, a distance apart, and the meteorites began to fall again.

    In Shan Nan's eyes, the meteorite was falling at a speed that he could not dodge, nor could 14 help him avoid.

    A wave of heat hit Shang Nan's face, a temperature that could almost melt a human body.

    In the haziness, Shang Nan saw Ning Yi running towards him.

    "Sixty-seven meteorites are expected to fall within thirty minutes. The general public is requested to evacuate immediately."

    "It is expected that 789 micrometeorites will fall within 30 minutes. The general public is requested to evacuate immediately."

    [14: These are just the meteorites and micrometeorites that will fall within the West City area.]

    Shang Nan fell to the ground, dizzy, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and his gloves were burned through. But before he could study his broken gloves, his whole body was picked up. NingYi carried him on his shoulder with one hand, not forgetting to carry his luggage with the other.

    Shannan was shaken so much that he felt like vomiting. The micrometeorite was smaller than the meteorite. It hit it wildly. Although it was small in size, it still affected a wide range.

    Shang Nan raised his eyelids and looked at the gray turbulent sky above his head. He raised his hand and struggled to take out the high-energy gun that everyone had prepared from his back shoulder. This was a gun specially made by the observatory to crush meteorites, butIt can only break very small meteorites, so it is suitable for breaking micro meteorites.

    Ning Yi could sense Shang Nan's sneaky movements behind him, and his tone became colder, "You're almost dead, and you're still busy?" Half mocking, half speechless.

    Unlike Shang Nan, Ning Yi moves much faster than humans. He can almost avoid the impact of all falling meteorites. Even if it hits his body, it will not be him and Shang Nan who are broken.

    Shan Nan coughed, "I saved you last time, you save me this time, we are even."

    Ning Yi gasped, and after a long time, he said, "Who is even with you?"

    Chen Mian met them at the entrance of the dungeon. After the two entered the elevator, Chen Mian immediately closed the passage.

    In Ning Yi's arms was a waist that seemed to be broken if he held it. He bent down and carefully put Shan Nan down, "Can you stand firm?"

    "It's okay." Shannan replied in a low voice.

    He was put down, and Shang Nan slowly slid to the ground. Chen Mian looked at the data on his hand that kept beating. He looked horrified, "I don't understand why."

    The number of casualties has doubled, and the rescue team no longer dares to stay on the ground. Before the meteorites stop falling, no one will risk going up to rescue them. Anyone who goes up now is looking for death.

    Medical staff were the first group to be evacuated. Fortunately, medicines and equipment were prepared in advance, but a large number of injured people were waiting for treatment, and the manpower was still insufficient.

    Shang Nan was sitting on a chair in the corridor. The back of his hands and shoulders were smeared with burn ointment. Most of the people who were carried and helped in front of him were seriously injured. The blood stains on the ground were not cleaned in time, leaving a series of footprints, andThe mud in the classroom was mixed together, and the ground became slippery, and the color of blood was no longer visible.

    Ning Yi sat side by side with Shan Nan in the same posture as Shan Nan. The glass on the opposite wall reflected the figures and faces of the two people, both of them dirty. The team leader's cold and upright appearance only appeared in his memory.At this moment, he is sitting on the chair like a dirty and thin kitten.

    Qiushi with short hair suddenly appeared in Shang Nan's field of vision. Shang Nan didn't recognize him at first. It took a long time before he recognized him. "Why are you here?!" His tone was surprised, which made Ning Ning happy.Yi felt unhappy.

    The length of Qiushi's hair remained the same as before. She was wearing a red rescue team uniform and her boots were on the ground. She looked at Shannan, "How did you become like this?"

    "Going on a diet to lose weight?"

    "..."

    "No, he's just about to die." Shan Nan said calmly.

    Life is just a journey for a person. The journey begins and ends again. It is not worth making a fuss about. He does not disappear. He will exist in the universe with another ideology. That will be a new journey.

    Ning Yi glanced at Shannan and looked away.

    Qiushi opened her mouth wide and looked at Shannan in disbelief. She uttered a few syllables and finally managed to say a complete sentence, "I thought it would take a long time."

    "It should be soon," Shannan said, "So why are you here?"

    "Ning Yi looks pretty good," Qiushi gave a thumbs up and paused before answering Shang Nan's question, "A planetary belt is moving in the direction of the planet. It should have been between the orbits of S and T.I don’t know why it started to move, it’s not normal.”

    There are a large number of planets and asteroids gathered in the planetary belt. There are more than half a million named and unnamed ones in total. They rely on the gravity of nearby planets to stay in place.

    "We discovered this phenomenon two hours ago. The doctor said that Planet A may accrete with one of the asteroids or planets."

    "Currently, we have observed that there are more than 30,000 planets in the planetary belt that are larger than planet A. If accretion occurs with them, we will definitely be swallowed up, even if they are smaller than us with celestial bodies.Planetary collisions are also a disaster for us."

    After Qiushi finished speaking, he said helplessly: "According to the current moving speed of the planetary belt, they will arrive near Planet A in no more than a week at the latest. We have no way to do it. This is too sudden."

    When Shang Nan spoke, white breath came out of his mouth, "So what are you doing here?"

    "Me, I'm here to send your parents over." Qiushi put away the tablet.

    Shang Nan was startled for a moment, and he turned his head blankly to look at the end of the corridor. Two old men with white hair were walking towards him. They looked like his parents in his memory, but their ages were not quite right.

    The two old men had ravines on their faces and their skin was loose, but they were still in good spirits, but they looked too old.

    Recognizing his parents, Shannan immediately stood up, crossed Qiushi, and strode over.

    "Mother." Shannan seemed to have a natural affection for people in this world. He said hoarsely, "Father."

    "Why is this happening?" He raised his hand and put it down again, not daring to touch it.

    Shang Nan’s father still wears reading glasses and an identity badge from when he worked at the observatory. “What we have experienced there seems to be different from what you have here. People there age very quickly. I used to sayThe situation was reported, but there was no solution.”

    "I don't even know..." Shannan was a little hard to accept. Aging represents the withering of life, and his parents were only fifty years old, but now they looked like they were over eighty.

    The father waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing, as long as the family is together, it doesn't matter whether you are old or not."

    His mother kept looking at Shannan in disbelief. She touched Shannan several times, "Why are you like this? Over here in the West City..." She turned her head and saw Ning Yi behind Shannan. He was very tall.Strong, then why...

    Seeing his mother's doubts, Shannan pondered for a long time before saying, "Everyone else is fine."

    The implication was very clear. The old man in front of her suddenly turned pale. She held Shang Nan's arm with both hands and said with a trembling voice and tears, "God damn it...God damn it."

    Qiushi came over to comfort the two old people and sent them to the room to rest.

    Shannan turned to look at the TV hanging on the wall, which was broadcasting the latest news. The announcer said that Planet A was two billion years older than before, and the rate of aging would accelerate day by day, doubling.

    In these few hours, the life form has shrunk by nearly 40% compared to before.

    [14: Blackening value -10.]

    [14: As the core life form of an asteroid, it knows the preciousness of life. There were too many casualties this time, which exceeded its psychological endurance limit.]

    Hearing the prompt of 14, Shan Nan turned around in surprise. Ning Yi was still in the same position as before, with his back leaning against the wall and arms folded, but his expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He didn't know when his blindfold fell off, but he was still in the same position.It can make Shang Nan feel that the other party is looking at him coldly.

    Maybe it's an illusion, but it probably isn't.

    Shang Nan saw the purple cracks on the other person's body, which were much prettier than the cracks that had spread to his waist. They looked like light, but because of Ning Yi's gloomy expression, they didn't look very beautiful.

    A layer of blue-green light appeared under his skin, and the light came out from under his skin, similar to the appearance of the asteroid.

    Soon, a light the size of a grain of rice appeared in his dark eyes, and slowly grew, grew, and grew larger than the pupil, and finally turned into a bright blue-green glass bead.

    Ning Yi lowered his head slightly, and the bead fell into his palm.

    He held the bead with his snow-white fingertips and turned it around, looking at the beautiful lines on it. Although the ocean and forest were unevenly distributed, they were full of vitality.

    The core life form of the still young asteroid suddenly smiled. The young man raised his head, raised his chin slightly, and showed his small fangs, which made him look in a good mood. "Team leader, do you want a parting gift?"

    The author has something to say:

    Nannan: Are you willing to leave before the blackening value is cleared?

    Ning Yi: You can use it when the time comes

    -In reality, there is an asteroid belt. Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the asteroid belt is a gathering place for asteroids. They are basically not as big as the planets, so I wrote about the planetary belt (I am too professional to understand,This is the only thing written in the book. If there are any loopholes, it must be because I don’t understand it comprehensively.) Micrometeorites are small meteorites, as big as sand, and the radiation from meteorites seems to have little impact on humans and will disappear over time. The largest meteorite at present should beJust a few meters (everything in the article has been edited. If there is any obvious mistake in what I wrote, then I am wrong)
