Eight Hundred and Fifty-Six Unacceptable

At the end of the dark corridor, the airtight door slid open silently. The lights inside the door were bright, and it was pitch black outside the door. It seemed like two different worlds.

Ye Han raised one foot, and the armor sensed his movement and cancelled the magnetic force of the sole in time. Ye Han, who was standing on one leg, couldn't help but lean to one side, like a weak tree swaying in the wind.

He used a little effort to straighten his body, and the foot that stepped out landed with the force. The armor activated the magnetic force of the sole in time, and Ye Han's foot stepped heavily on the deck, making a muffled sound.

This is the vacuum zone outside the living area. The sound Ye Han heard has nothing to do with the air, but is transmitted to his eardrums through the armor.

The moment his foot landed, the corridor lights that had only a little light bloomed. There was no one in the straight corridor, and the snow-white bulkhead was spotless.

The center of gravity moved forward, and the foot behind stepped out of the cabin door. The airtight door closed silently, and the lights inside the door went out.

Ye Han thought about it and turned on the navigation function. The ship's internal structure diagram appeared in the corner of the mask screen, with a flashing light dot on it representing himself.

The map flashed, and another light dot representing the destination appeared. Ye Han looked at it for a while, memorized the route and features along the way as quickly as possible, and then immediately closed the map.

This has always been his habit. Important information like maps must be remembered firmly in mind, and the navigation of electronic equipment is always a reference.

He raised his foot and was about to move forward, but after thinking about it, he put it back. With a change of mind, he canceled the walking mode, and the magnetic force on the sole disappeared. Ye Han slowly floated up, then started the thrusters and floated slowly along the corridor.

Forward turn, change direction and level flight.

A few minutes later, Ye Han arrived at the destination, landed on the ground again, and stepped through the airtight door.

Inside the door was a cabin with an area of ​​no less than dozens of square meters. The walls were all painted white, and a layer of glass decorated the cabin into two halves. The light in the inner half was bright, and the light in the outer half was dim.

Wang Tianyu was crossing his arms, looking at the other side of the glass wall. When he heard the footsteps, he immediately turned around and smiled: "I'm here!"

Ye Han took off his helmet: "Chief of Staff, am I not late?"

"Just in time." Wang Tianyu turned around and continued to look at the glass wall.

On the other side of the glass wall, two military doctors in protective clothing were dealing with the ice on the iceman. The air pump on the deck was humming, constantly sucking in air and melted water, not giving the melted water any chance to float.

The military doctor took out an empty test tube, took a little ice sample and stuffed it into the test tube, then turned around and stuffed it into an unnamed instrument.

Ye Han roughly counted and found that there were already more than a dozen test tubes in the machine.

"Are the results out?" Ye Han walked to Wang Tianyu and asked.

Wang Tianyu said in a heavy tone: "There is a lot of radioactive dust in the ice, and the radiation in the water samples all exceeds the standard..."

"Cobalt 60!"

Wang Tianyu turned his head in surprise and stared at Ye Han: "Yes, it is cobalt 60, how did you know?"

Ye Han pursed his lips: "The cobalt bomb dropped by the Second Fleet, I was in the fleet at the time."

"Oh, I remember!" Wang Tianyu suddenly realized, "Why didn't I think of this!"

"How long will it take to thaw?" Ye Han asked again.

"Basically, it's almost done..." Before he finished speaking, a military doctor suddenly turned around, holding two strings of identity cards commonly known as dog tags in his hand.

Wang Tianyu immediately pressed the wireless headset in his ear: "What's the situation?"

"Two sets of identity cards." The military doctor said, "One is called Huang Biao, and the other is Xiao Wang Zhifei."

Wang Tianyu sighed: "Put it away first, and give it to their families when there is a chance in the future."

Whether the ice man is Wang Zhifei or not, these two sets of identity cards must belong to the captured soldiers, and it is also a commemoration to be able to get them back.

The military doctor nodded and did as he was told: "The ice has melted, but the specimen will take some time."

Ye Han's voice suddenly rose: "Specimen?"

The military doctor was startled, not understanding why Ye Han had such a big reaction: "Yes, yes, specimen."

Ye Han tried to hold back his anger: "Do you know who he is? You call him a specimen? Chief of Staff,

Now his identity has not been proven, but I ask for enough respect for him!"

Wang Tianyu and the military doctor then understood why Ye Han was angry. The military doctor wanted to explain but was afraid that Ye Han would not listen, so he could only look at Wang Tianyu for help.

Wang Tianyu immediately said: "Ye Han, don't get angry first. I know a little about the profession of doctors. They have this habit, not to insult anyone intentionally."

Ye Han was full of annoyance: "Chief of Staff, I don't know what others think, anyway, I can't accept it!"

Specimen is a very common neutral word, but it is precisely because of its commonness that when this word is used on humans, it always carries a cold taste, which makes him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Then what do you say? Can you accept it if I call it a body?" Wang Tianyu questioned.

Ye Han immediately responded: "That's better than calling it a specimen!" As soon as you hear the body, you know it's a person. Even if Ye Han directly calls it a dead person, he can accept it, but what about a specimen?

Wang Tianyu compromised: "Okay, from now on, call it a body, is that okay?"

Ye Han remained silent and nodded heavily.

Wang Tianyu shook his head helplessly: "You, you are already in your thirties, why are you still like a child?"

Ye Han's mouth twitched: "Chief of Staff, it's not that I have too many things to do, I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart."

Wang Tianyu sighed quietly: "I understand." After that, he gestured to the military doctor, asking the military doctor to continue working.

He was also a soldier. Even though he is now the chief of staff of the fleet, he started as a soldier and worked his way up step by step. How could he not understand Ye Han’s thoughts?

After a long silence, Ye Han said again: "Thank you."

"No, it's my duty." Wang Tianyu glanced at Ye Han, "If he is Wang Zhifei, what are you going to do?"

"It's best to cremate him and take the ashes back."

"Cremation?" Wang Tianyu smiled bitterly, "The fleet doesn't have the conditions for cremation. I'm not exaggerating. Whether he is Wang Zhifei or not, this body has very important research value. If he is really messed up by aliens, we need to study his situation even more... Do you think you can accept it?"

"Yes!" Ye Han's answer was firm, "We are all soldiers. Who dares to say that he didn't die on the battlefield that day? I can accept anyone being torn to pieces, including myself, but I can't accept that people are not respected after death."

Wang Tianyu nodded approvingly: "It's good that you can figure it out."

Ye Han smiled bitterly: "What's there to be confused about? He is still good. Aren't those soldiers who died in the mouths of insects much more miserable than this?"

The voice of a military doctor suddenly came from the other side of the glass: "The surface of the body is melted, prepare to take samples for analysis!"
