One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighteen Wait One More Time

The silence in the communication was embarrassing. Except for a slight rustling sound, no other sound could be heard. The Leishan was also silent. Everyone felt like a big stone was in their heart, which made people breathless.

Life support equipment does not refer to a specific type of equipment, but a general term for a whole set of equipment, including air circulation, temperature control, pressure sensing, gas sensing and other sensors.

All the equipment is optimized and combined together, which is the life support equipment equipped by the military. Its main function is to maintain the living environment required by humans under closed conditions. For the current aerospace field, the role of life support equipment is irreplaceable.

But no matter what equipment, it has to rely on electricity to operate. Without electricity, it is like a deaf ear - decoration!

The power of Base No. 1 comes from a reactor. It is the first equipment to be set up in the base and also the first to be put into use.

At present, the power supply of all hiding holes has been cut off. The possibility of a problem with a unified line is very small. Most likely, there is a problem with the reactor.

The awkward silence lasted for a long time before a low voice asked: "Who will go?"

No one answered, and the communication was still dead silent.

Everyone understands that this question is not about who will repair the reactor, but who will take the initiative to open the hiding hole and fight with the aliens to fight for a chance of survival for others.

Sacrificing a hole to save most people is a simple math problem. No matter how you look at it, it is the most beneficial choice for the collective.

This is the situation, but the account of human life is not calculated in this way. For individuals like humans, everyone's life is the whole life. Life is only once. Who should be sacrificed? Who should benefit reasonably?

Moreover, there are at least seven or eight people in each hiding hole, and at most more than ten people. Even if someone is selfless and willing to sacrifice himself, what about the others in the hole? Are they willing to die together?

That is absolutely impossible.

The reason why heroes are heroes is that they have done what most people cannot do. Even in the special group of the army, heroes are only a few.

When a crisis comes, people often act according to instinct. Soldiers have received strict military training. At critical moments, fighting desperately is also one of the instincts of soldiers.

In fact, many situations do not require soldiers to fight desperately. If there is enough time to calm down and think carefully, most people will not choose to fight to the death.

Otherwise, how do you say that heroes are made by the times?

This is the current situation of Base No. 1. Before, the situation was critical, and everyone blew up the hiding cave without thinking, but now the situation is not so dangerous, but no one took the initiative to stand up.

Anyway, there are so many people in a cave and no one said anything. I didn’t say anything just to follow the crowd. Everyone is equal, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

"Draw lots." A voice said.

"Then catch it, leave it to fate, and no one should blame anyone."

"How to catch it?"

The communication was silent again. Everyone was scattered in different caves. If they were not caught by hand, they would not be convinced.

"Let Thor catch them. If you agree, just say so. I'll be frank with you. If you agree, whoever you catch will be the one. Don't keep complaining after you catch them."

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Agree..."

"Thor, did you hear what we just said? Please help me draw lots. Whichever hole you draw will be the hole."

The ball was kicked to Ye Han's feet, and Ye Han was immediately under great pressure.

Drawing lots is simple, but the result will determine the fate of an entire hiding hole, and there is more than one person in the hole, so it is a bit hesitant.

But if we don't catch them, everyone will be doomed!

Ye Han gritted his teeth: "Luo Qi, prepare a note for me!"

"Yes!"

"Wait, you arrange someone to go, and you stay to pass the message to Base No. 1."

"Yes!"

Luo Qi was ready immediately.

Ye Han said: "Tell them that I respect their decision, but I suggest that they wait and see what the aliens do. What if the power outage is a coincidence? If the aliens continue to dig, it's not too late to rush out."

"Also, if you just want to see the situation, there is no need to open a hiding hole. They still have sealing materials, right? They can dig and seal it, let one person out, and then seal the exit."

Luo Qi conveyed Ye Han's meaning to Base No. 1 word for word, and looked at Ye Han after he finished speaking.

Ye Han turned his eyes to the screen and sighed faintly.

Kindness does not command the army, and justice does not do business. Sometimes, neither the commander nor the ordinary soldiers have the opportunity to choose.

The soldier sent by Luo Qi finally came back with the note. When he spread his hand, several small pieces of paper stuck to his palm.

Since the fleet has long realized paperless office, it is difficult to find a piece of paper on Leishan. The soldier spent a lot of effort to find a piece of wrapping paper and barely completed the task.

Ye Han took the paper ball: "All written?"

"All written." The soldier nodded.

Ye Han shook his palm, and several paper balls floated out of his palm. He grabbed one of them and sighed after opening it: "Number 2."

Luo Qi turned on the communication equipment and whispered: "Leishan called Base No. 1, the result is out, it's No. 2."

A few minutes later, Leishan received a new communication again: "The result is out... No. 2?"

After a moment of silence, a dry voice appeared: "Let's discuss it."

"What are we still discussing? We just agreed, and you all agreed. It's already been decided, so there's no need to discuss it again."

"Didn't you hear Leishanhao's suggestion?"

"Okay, okay, if you want to discuss it, do it quickly, don't whine like a woman!"

"You're a man, why don't you go out?"

"You picked me, I'll definitely go out!"

"Okay, what are you arguing about? Whoever keeps talking nonsense will go with me. It's easy to talk when you're standing, right?"

Now everyone was quiet. After a while, a voice said, "I'm hole number two. I'll make a statement first. Since we've been picked, we don't have much to say. We plan to pick again and pick one person to go out and see the situation. That's it."

No one spoke in the communication. After a while, the voice of hole number two reappeared: "The person has been selected, but there are a few words to say in advance."

"You say!"

"What are we going to do when we go out?"

"Is there any need to ask? To see the reactor!"

"Then there's a problem, The aliens are still outside. They haven't discovered that we are hiding here. If we go out now, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing our hiding place? "

"Also, if the aliens find and destroy the reactor, it will be too late to go out now. On the other hand, if they only destroy the circuit, there is no difference between going out now and going out later. Do you think our analysis is right or not? "

"It makes sense. "A voice said, "Then what are you going to do? "

"Our idea is to wait. We still have oxygen tablets. It is not a problem to hold on for another three to five days. It is not too late to go out after the aliens leave. "

"What if the aliens don't leave by then? "

"Then do we have any choice? "

"Okay, then wait a little longer. "
