Die on Mars - Chapter 206

c206 Day 325 (2) Let’s play

“Why do you ask this?”

“Just ask.” Maidong said, “Didn’t Mr. Cat say that the space station is about to crash? Its lifespan only has a minimum of seven days and a maximum of eleven days… If the space station crashes on the seventh day, then I You only have three days left to live…what can you do in three days?”

Tang Yue frowned, this was really not a good thing to say.

There were still seven days before the Tianzhou 37 cargo spacecraft could reach Mars. Tang Yue was worried and counted the time almost hour by hour. He stared at the clock in the hall for a long time. Every minute and every second that passed meant that Tianzhou is one minute closer to Mars.

No one knew whether the Tianzhou spacecraft could arrive in time, so Tang Yue and Lao Mao avoided the topic in Kunlun Station and did not dare to talk about failure, for fear that the irreversible ending would become a reality if they were spoken.

But the girl’s tone was so leisurely and calm that he couldn’t get angry, as if what she was discussing was not death and crashes, but where she should go for an outing on a sunny and breezy afternoon.

Tang Yue hesitated for a moment. So many old arguments criticizing defeatism and pessimism came to his lips. When he said it, he only said, “Then… have a good rest.”

They have no family to reunite with, no friends to say goodbye to, and if they only have three days left to live, they can only sleep under the stars.

“We wake up early all our lives, and finally we can have a good sleep.” Tang Yue said, “I can sleep as late as I want. This was the life I envied most when I was a child.”

Both Maidong and Lao Mao were a little surprised.

“In the last three days of your life, you just wanted to sleep?” Old Mao held the fertilizer bucket and passed behind Tang Yue’s seat. “Have you seen through the world of mortals, or have you numbed your mind? Or did you suffer from a severe lack of sleep in your previous life? In the last days of your life, don’t you have anything to say to me? And Miss Maidong, don’t you have anything to say to Miss Maidong?”

“With you?” Tang Yue’s eyes squinted in disgust.

“You and I have been together for so many years, through ups and downs, and you haven’t even shown a single sign?” The old cat was heartbroken, thinking that he had his heart set on the bright moon, but the bright moon shone in the ditch, and his deep affection and righteousness fed the dog, “Heartless A meaningless bachelor.”

“You talkative cat, the saliva I consume with you every day accounts for 90% of my total daily water consumption, what else do you want me to say?” Tang Yue remained unmoved, “If I still have three days I’m about to die, so I only have one thing to say to you.”

“What words?”

“There is no chance in this life. You can be a human being in the next life.”

The old cat put the fertilizer bucket on the shelf, “What about Miss Ophiopogon japonicus? What can you say to Miss Ophiopogon japonicus?”

“Ophiopogon japonicus…”

The channel became quiet, but there was a vague sound of even breathing. It was obvious that the girl was listening there.

Tang Yue was not in a hurry to answer this question. He leaned back on the chair, sighed slightly, turned his head and stared at the old cat. The old cat understood his eyes: What can I say to her?

In the last three days of life, no matter what I said seemed inappropriate, after the earth disappeared, Tang Yue and Maidong became the last two human beings in the universe. The relationship between them is special, and It is the most special relationship in history. There has never been such a relationship between two people in human history. It is like two intertwined elementary particles. No matter how far apart they are, the relationship is extremely close.

The old cat once crossed its legs and said, “You are the last pair of socks in the world. You are the one on the left, and she is the one on the right. You prove each other’s existence.”

What could Tang Yue say to her?

For the sake of the party and the country, and for the survival of mankind, live well?

What nonsense.

“There’s nothing special to say, I’ve said everything that needs to be said.” Tang Yue was silent for a long time, “If you must say something… then let’s say Sayunara.”

Sayunala.

This is always the right thing to say when you have nothing more to say to someone.

Say Sayunara when parting.

Maidong held a hemispherical glass mask in her hands, and the waist of the cabin suit had an umbilical cord connected to the crystal cabin, which made her look more like a baby suspended in amniotic fluid. She usually sleeps like this. In order to save physical strength and reduce energy and oxygen consumption, Ophiopogon japonicus will remain motionless in one position for a long time. At first glance, it is not even possible to tell whether she is asleep or awake. Only her thick and long eyelashes occasionally twitch. Trembling.

She curled up into a small ball, wearing a bloated spacesuit.

Maidong took off the gloves of her cabin suit and stuffed them into her pockets, revealing her fair, slender hands with exposed joints. Due to a long-term lack of adequate nutritional intake, her weight had dropped to less than forty-five kilograms.

“Tang Yue, Mr. Cat, you two are such gloomy people. How come you are in the coffin when you are not dead yet.” The girl’s forehead rested on the helmet, and the glass felt cold to the touch. “If you give me three days in the end, then I will definitely not I would huddle in the room and sleep. I would go out and play crazy with my friends. I would be crazy day and night. From morning till night, I would play all the games I had never played before and eat all the things I was not allowed to eat before. Eat it again, scold all the people you didn’t dare to scold before, go crazy until the sun sets on the last day, then go home and have a good dinner, sit on the rooftop and watch the stars.”

This question is like Helen Keller’s autobiography “If You Give Me Three Days of Light”, where darkness and death are always waiting on the night of the third day.

No matter what you witnessed in three days, darkness would eventually fall.

“What a crazy girl.” Tang Yue shrugged, “I thought people like you would probably use the last time to read more books…”

“Then you don’t know me well enough. I’m actually not as well-behaved as I seem. I’m very wild… Night and death will always come, and they will be waiting for me that night three days later.” Maidong smiled slightly, “Do not go gentle into that good night.”

At this time, Tang Yue was slightly absent-minded. He was suddenly shocked by what Mai Dong said. Tang Yue really didn’t understand this seemingly weak girl. Perhaps deep down in their hearts, Maidong is the same as him. They have the courage to face the end of all things, and they will never silently step into the boundless night. They want to roar, they want to roar, and they want to burn their lives, Make the final sound.

“That’s awesome, girl.” Tang Yue suddenly smiled.

“Tang Yue, Mr. Cat!”

“Um?”

“Let’s play!” Maidong pushed the bulkhead to straighten up, pushed the mask to the other end of the crystal cabin, held the laptop in his arms, and his tone suddenly became excited.

Both Lao Mao and Tang Yue were taken aback and a little surprised. This request came out of the blue for no reason.

“Play? What to play with?”

The girl giggled across the channel.

“Let’s fight the landlord!”
