Die on Mars - Chapter 235

c234 Day 334 (2) He said this in the wind and rain

Tang Yue boarded the Mars Stray Dog, sat in the passenger seat, and buckled his seat belt.

“gone?”

The old cat held the steering wheel and looked ahead.

“gone.”

The old cat pressed the start button and stepped on the accelerator. The Martian Stray Dog started, and the wheels trembled slightly as it ran over the sand. They will move in the predetermined direction, crossing half of the Ishidi Plain, and reach their destination. The east-west length of the Ixi Plain is equivalent to the Tarim Basin, but the north-south length is twice that of the latter. This means that Tang Yue and Lao Mao need to cross a very large Taklimakan Desert and must not lose their way along the way.

The rover slowly increased its speed and drove smoothly. Tang Yue sat in the passenger seat, and the gravel on the desert beach passed under his feet. The cab has no windshield or doors, just a twisted frame, basically a convertible.

“Don’t you look back?”

“There’s nothing to see.” Tang Yue sighed, “We are the ones going to fight.”

He pulled the letter out from under the visor and pinched it between his thumb and forefinger.

“I have never been involved in a lawsuit in my life. What kind of dispute should this lawsuit involving the entire world be considered? A civil case or a criminal case? Is it still too late to memorize the General Principles of Civil Law and the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China?”

“The “General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China” has a total of nine chapters and 156 articles, and the “Criminal Law” has 163 articles. It is definitely too late to memorize it now. If you have this ability, you will still be a mechanical dog. Isn’t this lawyer already at the peak of his life?” Old Mao shook his head, “And how do you know this matter only involves civil law and criminal law? Maybe there is also road traffic law and economic law.”

Tang Yue smiled bitterly.

As a science and engineering man through and through, nothing is more troublesome than these complicated and convoluted laws.

“Then I am 100% going to fail?” Tang Yue asked.

“uh-huh.”

“What will be the consequences if we fail?” Tang Yue said, “Refuse to compensate?”

“If you lose the lawsuit, then they won’t refuse to compensate you.” The old cat hugged its forelimbs and put its two hind legs on the steering wheel. “It makes no sense that the other party has to compensate you even if they win the lawsuit. There is no such thing in the universe.” philanthropist.”

“But according to what this letter says, the evaporation of the earth is indeed caused by them.”

“The lawyer opened his mouth and said that you will die if you are dead, and you will live if you are alive. You said that it was their mistake that evaporated the earth. They also said that the earth did not follow the traffic lights and crossed the road.” The old cat said leisurely. Said, “Maybe they have the most powerful legal department in the universe?”

“Then I’m doomed? What else are you going to do? Go to hell.”

“Don’t panic, it’s not necessarily dead.”

“What? Mr. Zhuge Laomao, do you still have any trump cards?” Tang Yue was startled.

“Isn’t it just that you need a lawyer?” the old cat said, “I have a clever idea for you… When it comes time to go to court, you draw a Mickey Mouse on your desk and announce this cartoon to all the creatures present. The intellectual property rights of the image belong to you, and then you will get a strong foreign support.”

Tang Yue let out a long sigh.

It was bullshit, but he and Lao Mao had no idea. The situation they were facing now had never been encountered by anyone even in the past 10,000 years. The way forward was unclear and there was no experience to follow. Tang Yue didn’t know whether the letter was true or not, and he couldn’t believe the old cat’s words. In Tang Yue’s opinion, this cat’s acting skills could win an Oscar. On the surface, it pretended not to know anything, but maybe He has a clear heart and knows everything.

It is correct to say that he went to fight.

It is foreseeable that this will be an unprecedentedly difficult journey. Even the old cat cannot help, and Tang Yue is destined to fight alone.

The Martian stray dog ​​was walking on the deserted beach, and Tang Yue tilted his head and looked into the distance.

They walked all the way to the west, and the terrain was flat.

There was almost nothing to focus Tang Yue’s eyes along the way. His eyes quickly became tired. Tang Yue had to look back and blink hard. On the other hand, he was also shocked to realize that he had underestimated this desert. Without accurate information, Navigation, if you leave him here and spin around three times, he will be confused and unable to find north and south.

“Want to listen to music?” asked the old cat.

“Did you bring a music player?”

The old cat nodded.

“Play any song, something nice, something that can relieve stress.”

The old cat started humming, and it was the old song “Sailor” by Zheng Zhihua. It was obvious that the music player it was talking about was itself.

“The feeling of bitter sand blowing on the face,

Like a father’s scolding and a mother’s crying, it will never be forgotten.

When I was young, I liked to be alone at the beach…”

Old Cat’s voice is like a broken gong, tone-deaf, and when he sings “Sailor”, he just cries like a ghost.

But it sings very intoxicatingly, like Lao Wang who occupies the microphone in KTV.

“Stop it! Stop it!” Tang Yue tried to stop it, but his voice was really no more beautiful than the saw blade. “Change it! Change it!”

The old cat ignored him, and while singing, he released the accelerator, slowing down the Martian stray dog.

“What’s wrong?”

“We can no longer see Kunlun Station.”

Tang Yue was startled and subconsciously loosened his seat belt and stood up. He leaned half out of the rover’s cab and tried to look back.

The old cat is still singing to himself.

“Always imagine that there is another world at the end of the ocean,

I always thought that brave sailors were real men,

He always looks weak and helpless,

When being bullied, I always hear sailors say:

He said the pain in the wind and rain is nothing…”

At the far edge of the horizon, Tang Yue could still see the blurry shadow of the main station of Kunlun Station. The white dome building reflected the bright sunlight. What was also barely distinguishable from it was the Eagle spacecraft, with its descending stage alone. Standing there on the ground, the Chelomei and the garage were beyond the limit of his vision. Tang Yue felt inexplicably distressed as he looked at them.

Tang Yue suddenly regretted that he did not take a second look at them, but the Martian stray dogs did not stop and continued to drive forward, and the distance became wider and wider.

Kunlun Station is getting smaller and smaller.

At this moment, sadness that he had never felt before suddenly came out. Tang Yue didn’t even know where they were hidden, so he was overwhelmed and overwhelmed. He could only watch Kunlun Station gradually disappear from the field of vision. From now on, Tang Yue will never see them again. This is a true farewell, but he can’t change this fact.

He will become a rootless duckweed, a wanderer unknown to anyone.

Tang Yue slowly bent down and leaned on the roof of the car.

The old cat had no expression on his face and never looked back. He sang word by word:

“He said what’s the pain in the wind and rain?

Wipe your tears and don’t be afraid. At least we still have dreams.

He said what is the pain in the wind and rain?

Wipe away your tears and don’t ask why…”
