The news brought by Dr. Peters immediately interrupted the discussion.

It is a good thing that the turbine engineer Justin can wake up, but after awakening, Justin performed so abnormally that Dr. Peters had to rush to the bridge for support. To be precise, she had to do so. Although she was a little panicked, she still described the situation she discovered to Captain Miller, First Deputy Stark and Major D.J in a short language.

She followed Captain Miller's order to take care of Justin and continued to monitor Justin's vital signs. At that time, Justin was still lying on the medical bed with his eyes open. But when she turned to continue to deal with the wreckage of the former crew member, Justin lying on the medical bed disappeared. When she hurried to search, she heard a sudden closing of the cabin door. Then the spacecraft's circuit had a problem, and the excessive current caused the lighting equipment in the medical room to explode. She panicked, she quickly ran to the bridge, and while escaping a figure suspected to be Justin walking towards the biological products storage room. After hearing this, Captain Miller nodded and said that he would retrieve Justin, and then ran out of the bridge to find Justin. He swore that he would never give up any crew member.

At this time, Dr. Will also rushed over, but his condition was very wrong, and he seemed to be in a trance.

At the same time, something unknown followed Dr. Peters' footsteps to the bridge, and was blocked by the closed hatch door by Dr. Peters. The first thing that appeared was overloaded lumens, and the scorched and explosive cold lights emitted scorched smoke. Then the thing kept hitting outside the hatch door. The thick air-tight gate was sunk under huge force, and the entire bridge fell into darkness one by one, with only the continuous gushing of electric sparks.

Dr. Peters screamed in horror.

She heard the sound.

When Justin suddenly disappeared, she heard the sound. Now the owner of the sound was outside the hatch and tried to break open the air-tight gate and break in. When others retreated due to the panic caused by the leaking gas and abnormal phenomena in the pipeline, Dr. Will walked towards the air-tight gate that was constantly hit. Major D.J clearly heard that Dr. Will kept saying something like "open the door".

"Stop him!" Major D.J shouted.

Stark, the eldest mate closest to Dr. Will, rushed forward and grabbed Dr. Will's hand that reached out to the airtight gate switch. She used the grapple skillfully and turned Dr. Will's hand behind her back. With Dr. Will's cry due to severe pain, the sound outside the airtight gate disappeared, and the bridge became quiet again, as if the monster under the bed was driven away by the light, and the fear also disappeared due to the recovery of reason.

"At this time, it is very important to maintain self-control, Dr. Will." The first mate Stark let him go until he confirmed that Dr. Will would not cause some dangerous behavior. At this time, an alarm sounded from the bridge. Others did not care about Dr. Will's abnormal performance and rushed to the center console immediately. As the person with the highest position in the bridge at this time, the first mate Stark immediately walked to the console in front of the captain's seat, "What happened?"

"Front airlock No. 19." Major D.J quickly judged the situation, "It was the decompression alarm issued there."

"Miller, Cooper, Smith, who are you at the 19th airlock?" asked the eldest mate Stark.

"No one." Captain Miller replied in the communication channel.

"It's Justin!" Dr. Peters wiped away the tears of horror from his face, "It must be Justin!"

She rushed toward the airlock, and the others followed closely.

They saw the young figure in the air force uniform standing inside the front airlock, which was slowly falling. As the only way for astronauts to leave the cabin, the airlock would slowly release the air inside the gate to protect the astronauts wearing pressure spacesuits and other crew members in the cabin. At this time, they could only see Justin through the small observation window, who was only wearing a conventional uniform and nothing else.

Dr. Peters hurriedly called Justin and asked the latter to open the internal hatch door and walk back.

"Miller, emergency!" The eldest lieutenant Stark used his portable tool to pry open the control panel of the internal hatch door while calling the captain with radio communication. After receiving the reply, she immediately informed the situation. "Justin walked into the airlock and was not wearing a space suit!"

"I'll go now."

Lieutenant Cooper cursed in a low voice and stood up from the ridge of the Lewis and Clark. Although the air tightness was strengthened, the Lewis and Clark was torn apart by the entire ship, and there was still much work to be done. Captain Miller stopped him in the communication channel. Captain Miller asked Lieutenant Cooper and Lieutenant Smith to continue repairs because he was closest to the front airlock. At the same time, bad news came from the eldest lieutenant Stark.

"He activated the over-control device." First mate Stark frowned. Faced with Dr. Peters' inquiry, she said that she could only try. She said irritatedly, "I don't know how he learned to turn on the over-control device. This is not the training content of the turbine engineer!"

"Justin, open the door!"

Major D.J tried to order the crew again through the airlock telephone, but the pilot did not give him any response. At this time, Captain Miller on the other side of the ship had already put on the space suit and walked out of the nearest airlock to hang himself on the maintenance track. This is a device for astronauts to move quickly on the surface of the hull for efficient operation. Captain Miller connected his spacesuit waist lock to it and was dragged to the airlock flying in the other direction.

"Stark, report on the situation."

"He activated the override device and I can't open the door!"

"I'll get the keys." Major D.J could no longer stay.

He turned around and ran back to the bridge, trying to get the mechanical lock key of the airlock. At this time, Dr. Peters was still calling Justin anxiously - she had always had a kind of maternal care for the youngest boy in the team, especially when she was away from the son on Earth who needed care, so that Justin usually called her "Mom Bear" - which originated from a joke when Captain Miller claimed that she was protecting Justin, just like Mom Bear protecting Baby Bear.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! It is undeniable that Dr. Peters devoted all his guilt and care to his son whom he had never met for many years to this youngest crew member. At this time, Dr. Peters could not judge whether the burnt smell in his nose at this time was the smell of the burnt wires on the side, or the smell of the burnt caused by excessive anxiety in his brain.

She followed the instructions of the first lieutenant Stark and tried to attract Justin's attention with conversation. Finally, the boy turned around and looked at her, which made Dr. Peters extremely happy.

"Did you hear?" Justin was indifferent to Peters' request to open the door. They saw the young man's face pale, tiny drops of water hanging on his wet skin, which seemed to be sweating a lot, but was covered in coldness. After a brief silence, he asked again, "Did you hear?"

"Yes, I heard it." Dr. Peters had to admit that it felt as powerless as admitting that he still believed the monster under the bed. However, they had encountered a strange incident not long ago, and any rebuttal seemed powerless at this time. "Do you know what the sound is?"

"It gives you some sights. Terrible sights." Justin said expressionlessly.

“What is it?”

"The dark self in another dimension. I don't want to go back."

"Baby bear, open the door quickly." Dr. Peters was almost crying, and she shook her head desperately, "Come back!"

"How is the situation now?" D.J, who rushed back, handed the key of the mechanical lock to the first mate Stark. "Open the external airlock and he is dead. No one can survive in the vacuum."

"She can't persuade him." The first mate replied briefly, his hands still moving as fast as ever, "The door is about to open."

"No, listen to me!" Dr. Peters smashed the airlock door hard. Although she was anxious, she changed her tone. She used command and reprimand tone, which looked like a naughty mother who taught a naughty child's lesson. "Listen to me, Justin! Now, open the door quickly!"

Justin's voice was still so ethereal, like white mist floating in the air.

"If you see what I see, you won't stop me."

"That's because you're unconscious now!" Doctor Peters shouted. She pointed to the side through the observation window, "Open the door. That's the other side."

Dr. Peters finally breathed a sigh of relief as he reached his hand to the switch of the inner hatch, which meant that the exhausting farce was finally over. Then she was frightened to find that Justin had a weird smile on his face. Then he pressed the button to open the outer hatch. The automatic voice broadcast claimed that it would start to decompression in 25 seconds. Justin immediately covered his ears and screamed, and the severe pain of decompression pierced the consciousness that enveloped his mind.

"Where am I?" Justin rubbed his eyes hard as if he was awakened from a dream, and opened his eyes hard to observe the surroundings. Then he saw Dr. Peters through the observation window. "Hey, open the door."

"Stark, open that damn door!" Major D.J shouted.

"I can't do it! When the external hatch door is activated, the internal hatch door cannot be opened, otherwise the entire ship will be decompressed!" First mate Stark shouted angrily, "Now the permissions are overtaken, I can't cancel the order to open the external hatch door!"

"Mom Bear, open the door." Justin stood there and shouted in a trembling voice. The voice broke Doctor Peters' heart, but Major D.J found that although Justin was scared, he did not move a step inside. He just stood there, as if he was stuck there. "Please. Captain..."

"Let me tell him." Captain Miller said.

"Captain Miller, let them open the door..."

"You can't open the door." Captain Miller was raising the repair railings and heading towards the front gate at a rapid speed.

"I don't want to die here!" Justin's voice began to tremble, as if fear had emerged from his stomach.

"You won't die." Captain Miller replied firmly.

He tried his best to pull himself forward to the airlock without getting fussed with Justin's begging. He untied the lock, gave up all safety measures, and used the airflow ejected from the spacesuit to push himself to the structure opposite the airlock No. 19. Perhaps this risky move prompted him to secrete a lot of adrenaline, or perhaps because he was already tired of the journey, he began to get distracted, and Justin's begging turned into a noise away from consciousness.

The hydrogen-filled atmosphere of the planet below burst out with strong lightning. The most violent storm clouds in the solar system are beyond the scale of a continent on Earth. The bursting flashes even illuminate the spacecraft that has already reached the dark surface. He thought of a diamond rain in the high-temperature and high-pressure storm below. Countless shining gems shine in bright lightning, like the waves on the coast shattered on the reef in the morning and scattered water droplets.

Then a scream pulled him back to reality. Justin lowered his head and saw the blood vessels that burst out from his arms.

"My eyes..."

"Don't think of anything! Close your eyes!"

Justin began to float and screamed.

"There are 5 seconds left!"

"Curry up, immediately!"

"I can't breathe... My God, it hurts..." Justin covered his eyes in pain in the airlock. Ruby-like blood squeezed out from his fingers and shook it towards the airlock observation window as he shook. Dr. Peters looked at the scene in horror, feeling that his hands and feet were cold and could not speak.

"Exhale, spit out all the air!" Captain Miller adjusted his posture, aimed at the airlock and opened his arms, and fixed himself with the magnetic boots in the space suit. "Did you hear it? Spit out all the air!"

As the airlock slowly opened, the air became thinner and thinner. Justin's screams became smaller and smaller. He finally lost consciousness completely and was spit out by the airlock with white condensed air, like this dark spacecraft spitting out something that should not have entered its body. Justin opened his arms and floated in the vacuum, and the blood vessels all over his body were like ravines floating on the surface all over his body. Boiling blood was squeezed out from his throat, nose, eyes and ears, and then quickly condensed. Captain Miller closed his magnetic boots, jumped towards the airlock, and crossed the void to hug Justin, who was constantly twitching.

"I'm taking him! Get ready!"

He grabbed Justin's shoulder and floated in the air lock.

First mate Stark stared at the reading of the airlock. Just as the outer hatch door was automatically closed, the reading finally reached the safe range. "There is a cabin pressure. Open the door!" First mate Stark twisted the key, and the internal hatch door quickly rose. Major D.J and Dr. Peters, who were twisting the first aid kit, rushed into the open hatch door with the air bumping into the airlock, and immediately held Justin, who was covered in blood on the deck of the airlock.

"We need 5 units, hold his head!" Major D.J yelled, "Let him keep breathing."

"He is bleeding, and his blood pressure is still falling!"

"Start blood transfusions. There is no time to warm up the blood! Insulation blanket, we need a thermal blanket."

No one noticed that Dr. Will was not here. He sat in the captain's seat on the bridge, and the shouts from the airlock No. 19 kept squeezing into his ears and slamming back and forth between his skulls. Not only that, the sounds from every corner of the ship were stuffed into his brain, from the slight noise of micrometeors hitting the armor of the hull, the sizzling sound of cables, the noise of equipment running, and the call from the slow start of the hyperspace engine. He covered his ears, but could not stop the sounds from invading his mind. His tongue and nose tasted the smell of clear water and blood, as well as the smell of shampoo and shower gel, which was his wife's favorite brand.

"You will be with me forever."

The naked woman looked at him with her bloody eye sockets, her skin covered with water, as if she had just stood up from the bathtub. Her face was close to him, and the air had a faint smell of blood. All the sounds disappeared, only the beating heart of the ship called him, and the blood vessels on her forehead that were beating like a war drum gradually subsided. Dr. Will put down his arm, his skin was covered with sweat, just as he had just survived a painful disease, his remaining reason was like water in a wet towel being squeezed dry, his soothing eyes from the madness staring at the void outside the porthole with a little remaining madness.

He noticed a wet handprint with a slight smell of blood on the armrest of the captain's seat.

It doesn't matter, because he remembered why he started this mission, everything else was dust in the air. Even though the idea was fleeting and left no trace, he already knew what to do, just like the instinct of the evolution engraved into genes in billions of years - not because of the Tianma Plan, not because of Wendy Lawson, not because of Carol Danfoss, but because of that voice - the sound heard when he was tortured by endless nightmares and excessive antidepressants in his sleep at night, with temptation and promise, the sound from the endless starry sky, the sound of the dead returning from the soul to the world. It was the voice of his suicide wife.

———————

In the dormant compartment, Major D.J didn't have time to clean up the blood on his arms and clothes.

The same goes for Dr. Peters and the first mate Stark. Captain Miller went to help before he took off his space suit. Now they could not maintain Justin's vital signs at all. After a brief communication with Dr. Peters, Major D.J decided to put Justin into the dormant compartment of the Event Horizon. The dormant compartment used for long-term dormant has the best life-sustaining system on the entire ship, which not only maintains Justin's vital signs, but also reduces his pain. After all, the crew in the dormant compartment will always receive sedative drug infusions. Major D.J has to do nothing more than increase the dose to ensure that Justin does not wake up from the pain.

"His face was completely ruined, and I hope he can hold on until we return."

He looked at the dormant compartment freezing fluid with a faint bloodshot, and the person who was immersed in the coma. Justin's eyes were completely sealed after disinfection, and the completely bleeding ear canal was sealed and blocked. He wore a breathing mask to breathe high concentrations of oxygen. Major D.J couldn't help but sigh, half hope and half praying, "It is said that a person can survive in a vacuum for 90 seconds. Justin was not exposed to the vacuum for that long, and he also vomited all the air in his lungs, otherwise his lungs would have exploded now. Now his condition is barely stable, and I believe Justin can survive."

"We will." Captain Miller said vaguely, and no one else knew whether he was referring to Justin or back, "Stark, how much time do we have?"

"In four hours, the carbon dioxide will reach toxicity level. Unless we can fix the oxygen supply system of the ship." First mate Stark deliberately or unintentionally glanced at Dr. Will from the corner of his eyes. The Physics PhD sat there without saying a word, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. If they could fix the oxygen supply system, they should have more time at this time, but Dr. Will, who is responsible for repairing the circuit, made a mistake, and that abnormal current was his mistake. Not only did the lighting system be damaged, but the circulating air system that has been operating at low power was also burned, and their time was greatly shortened.

"Well. Peters, find out the navigation logs and avoid the tragedy repeating."

"I can do it on the bridge. I don't want to go to the medical room." Dr. Peters said weakly. She was very tired and the short rest time was not enough to support her in the work. She could feel the stickiness between her skin and her uniform, and they had not had a personal cleaning for a long time in order to save water.

Captain Miller agreed.

"Justin once mentioned the dark self." First mate Stark looked at Captain Miller and signaled that this was a continuation of the last conversation, "What does that mean?"

"Doctor?" Captain Miller nodded and asked Dr. Will, "Do you have anything to say?"

"I don't think that makes any sense."

Dr. Will stammered and left.

Captain Miller chased after him angrily and grabbed Dr. Will. "Don't think of leaving like this, I want the answer. I want to know why my crew jumped out of the airlock in suicide. I want to know where the loud noise hit the hatch at that time came from!" Dr. Will still had the same statement, for example, the loud noise was caused by the change in temperature difference, and the hallucination was a high concentration of carbon dioxide. Captain Miller fired rarely, "Don't talk nonsense, you built this spacecraft!"

"I'm not the builder of this ship, I'm just involved in the project, and the builder is Wendy Lawson."

"You are the one who knows this ship the best, but you keep making excuses me!" Captain Miller stared at Dr. Will's eyes, but the latter did not dare to look directly at him. "I know Wendy Lawson. Wendy Lawson is dead. You are the only person in the world who knows the answer! That's right, I have participated in the Tianma Project, and I know that damn woman."

"What do you want me to say?" Dr. Will spread his hands

"You said, the hyperspace engine opens the space door. Where are you going? Where have you sent them? Where have it been in the past seven years?"

"I don't know." Dr. Will forced a word out.

"'I don't know' can't be answered, Dr. You should be an expert, I need the answer. This is your task. Now tell me, where is the other space?"

"I don't know! I don't know!" Dr. Will finally stopped and said incoherently, "Listen, I don't understand what's going on here at all. I need time."
