"Want a drink?"

Lou Nan took two cups and placed them on the small round table next to the bed. Ness closed the door behind him and the lights in the room turned on. The captain lived in the same place as everyone else. The two of them were alone in such a place. The human room seemed a bit crowded.

Ness sat on a small chair behind the door, took the wine glass handed over by Lou Nan, took a sip, and immediately grinned slightly.

"I still can't get used to this strong drink."

Lou Nan laughed.

"Thank you so much for just now, Ness."

"I did not do anything."

Lou Nan said with a smile.

"If you hadn't taken action, the first shot fired by that guy Zet would have penetrated my head. This is often the case with people. When emotions are extremely excited, it is the most dangerous at the beginning, but the first shot Afterwards, he calmed down a bit and I had a chance to take the weapon from his hand."

Ness hummed. Everyone knew that such a serious problem had occurred at the base. They were shocked at the first moment, and those with family members would want to return home at the second moment, just like Zet.

Just when Lou Nan was about to come back to rest, a female crew member on duty tonight also cried and complained about wanting to go back.

"There is no turning back for us!"

Lou Nan put down the cup, and Ness hummed. This journey has taken more than two years of hard work by 50,000 people. There were even accidents and someone died during the previous lift-off flight test.

"Nais, please remember it carefully. I will give you the control authority code of the spacecraft."

For a moment, Nais stood up in shock. Lou Nan smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Nais to sit down.

"In the past few days, if bad news continues to come, the ship is likely to have bigger problems, and more people will want to return. And if a serious accident occurs, you will take everyone with you Return!"

"captain!"

Nais was a little surprised, but finally nodded. After a while, Nais left the room. Just after walking a few steps along the corridor, Nais saw a man leaning against the door. He stared at Nais with cold eyes. Sri Lanka.

"What are you doing in the captain's quarters?"

"Corgi, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The man named Corgi stretched out his hand and stopped Nais.

"It would be good for all of us to say it, wouldn't it?"

Ness smiled. The guy in front of him was a congressman from Base 69. He had clashed with him many times before on the issue of aid transactions.

"The captain didn't say anything, he just told me what happened before. We had a drink, and then I went back to rest."

Corgi looked at Ness leaving coldly. He turned around and opened the room. The room was a little crowded. There were four people sitting side by side on the bed, and they had weapons in their hands.

"We can't wait any longer."

Corgi shook his head.

"Wait until tomorrow morning."

This night was a sleepless night for the people on the visitor's spacecraft. Everyone spent the night in fear.

Early the next morning, most people looked tired. Everyone was looking at their mobile phones, waiting for contact information. However, no one received the contact sent from the Mars base.

More and more people gathered in the captain's room, and many people were already gathered together.

"Everyone, please return to your seats.",

The captain looked at a pair of slightly angry eyes. Lou Nan always had a calm face. Luo Lin next to her remained silent. She knew very well that after a night, more and more people wanted to return. Now was the first time. Three days. If they speed up, it will only take one day to return to the Mars base.

Waiting can be scary, and once you can't bear the fear, you will collapse.

"Captain, I think it's better if we go back and confirm."

At this time, someone finally spoke. Lou Nan looked at the person in front of him quietly, shook his head, and said firmly.

"There is no turning back."

Lou Nan's words seemed to irritate many people, and some people simply gathered around.

Someone suggested that they could return first, replenish fuel, and then set sail again, but Lou Nan still did not agree.

Because Lou Nan knew very well that once he returned, this mission would definitely fail. The members here were carefully selected and finalized over the years, and they included talents from all aspects.

"hold on!"

Lou Nan's words made many people angry.

"Captain who can't wait, I have to go back and confirm."

A woman whimpered and the voices gathered together again.

"Okay, everyone, please go back to your seats. I'm going back to rest."

As Lou Nan stood up, many people gathered around him, but he finally left. The reason why the spaceship was designed like this was to prevent disputes and problems during the journey.

Because staying in such a closed environment for three months is a great test for people's psychological endurance.

Especially the younger generation who have adapted to the climate circle, they have not experienced the days of living in a metal cabin.

Ness looked at the people on the boat quietly and felt that something was not good. Negative emotions had appeared. His wife looked at her husband uneasily.

"We are not like that old man, who has nothing."

Someone murmured uncomfortably, and then many people nodded. Luo Lin looked at everything in front of her quietly. She didn't want to say anything.

Time continued until the evening. Most people were quite tired. It was completely different from the easy work of checking and preparing the spacecraft before. Many people felt very tired.

Because in most people's minds, they could answer the Mars base in one day, which was like a big stone pressing on everyone's heart.

At dinner, there was no longer any talking and laughing as usual. The atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Most people returned to their rooms after dinner. Sleeping is the best way for most people to eliminate psychological pressure now.

"Corgi! Are you okay?"

Lou Nan stood at the door and looked at the six people surrounding the door of his room. He had just finished his meal. At this time, Lou Nan stared at him angrily.

"Captain, I ask you to return immediately."

Before Lou Nan answered, a gun was pointed at his forehead.

"I've already said that we have no way out. This mission took 50,000 people two years of hard work, plus 70 people from the Mars base worked hard to support this mission, so we were finally able to set sail."

"Just go back and take a look. As long as there is no problem, we can set sail again immediately."

Now everyone knows that this mission will basically be declared a failure after returning, because the situation at the Mars base has changed.

"Sorry, the ship can only move forward, not backward, even if I die!"

Bang

Gunshots rang out!
