Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 212 Waiting For Me Here
Option 9.1 is 36.7%, option 36.7 is 18.2%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Long-range weapons based on high-energy ray guns]

【Option [-]】

【Mini Spaceship】

……

The final votes were dominated by these two.The microcomputer gave a matching course of action, and Zheng Zhuo completely believed in the result calculated by the latest computer.

All personnel share the same set of plans.Wei Hao issued orders based on it.

"Split up."

Time is limited, the team members are divided into two groups. 3 scouts lead 3 members of the assault team deep into the hinterland of this asteroid, and enter the fierce battlefield to search for more weapons.

The instruction given by Wei Hao is "mainly long-range weapons".

"Focus on searching for high-energy ray guns, and do not carry electromagnetic pulse guns."

High energy ray guns are the lightest and can carry the most.Quality weapons will make the load of the [Transition Ship] exceed the standard, and it will be screened out by Wei Hao.As for not searching for electromagnetic pulse devices, he was worried that it would affect the central processing unit implanted in his brain.

The soldiers saluted neatly and left.They start to act.

"let's go."

Wei Hao and Zheng Zhuo carried out the second plan: the two went to drive a [mini spaceship] scanned on the map.Radar shows it in the exact opposite position to the hinterland.

Zheng Zhuo nodded.He picked up the [armor-piercing-bolt gun] that had been replenished with ammunition.

……

Along the way, Zheng Zhuo was extremely vigilant.

Split up.This word stimulated Zheng Zhuo's already experienced nerves.

Acting separately means that the probability of being in danger has doubled, which means that an accident is likely to happen, and it means that fewer people must meet greater risks.

He didn't dare to neglect for a moment.He freed almost all the memory in the microcomputer of the power armor, and put it into searching and guarding the surrounding terrain.

Biochemical weapons of destruction have been dropped here.But Zheng Zhuo was still worried.

There are only two of them.In order to maximize all the carryable weight to wreckage found on the ground, all were equipped with only a small number of weapons.Zheng Zhuo only applied for another [Single Molecule Combat Knife], Wei Hao didn't even apply for a gun: he still only had the [Single Molecule Combat Knife] that Zheng Zhuo had given him earlier.

As a non-commissioned officer of the Legion, his behavior set an example for everyone.He puts "getting it done" ahead of everything else, which adds to his prestige with this freshman squad.He gets more credit, but at the same time...

"(It also puts everyone in a situation where they are forced to gamble.)"

Zheng Zhuo thought in his heart.

Microcomputer calculations show that the probability of the remaining enemy is 0.001%.

Very small probability.Zheng Zhuo is willing to believe that it is equal to zero, but unfortunately, he cannot.

……

The vigilance continued until they found the [Mini Cosmic Boat], until Wei Hao and Zheng Zhuo cooperated to restart it referring to the emergency work guide that came with the power armor, and then they got into the small boat.

What Zheng Zhuo was worried about did not happen.No swarm of worms burst forth from some dark cavern, no earth collapsed, no sky collapsed.

[Mini spaceship] started.

"(...Am I worrying too much?)"

Zheng Zhuo thought, and took over the co-pilot authority of the [Mini Cosmic Ship].

The spaceship lifted off slowly against a dark background.In the distance, through the long-distance camera, Zheng Zhuo has already seen the silver-white streamlined body of the [Transition Ship] that has begun to dock towards the low-earth orbit.After a while, he saw a small white dot spouting flames rising from the ground, dragging a long disturbing trajectory behind it, and flying towards the transition ship.

This is also part of the previous plan.The words [187 members of the 6th Legion, already launched] popped up in Zheng Zhuo's helmet.

It took some time for the two to repair the mini-spaceship, and the [Transition Ship] has arrived.Therefore, Wei Hao ordered the remaining six people who had completed the search for long-range weapons on the ground to return first.

This avoids waiting times when docking.As for Wei Hao and Zheng Zhuo, the mini-spacecraft they were riding on had the function of orbital launch, and there was no problem in completing the docking with the transition ship.

Zheng Zhuo also discovered something at this time.

The greater the possibility calculated by the microcomputer, the more worried he was.Just like now, the projection screen shows that according to the current plan, the mini spaceship will be launched in 17 star minutes, and will complete the docking with the transition ship in 22 star minutes, with a simulated docking success rate of 99.6%.

But he couldn't help but wonder if there would be an accident.

On the contrary, during the previous rescue, when the reentry capsule was forced to start, the computer almost crashed, either the success rate data could not be given, or the success rate was only 30-40%.

At that time, he felt that there must be no problem.

"(Am I no longer suitable for a stable work life?)"

Zheng Zhuo cursed in his heart.

……

After all, computers are more reliable than human sixth sense, and Zheng Zhuo belongs to the less accurate sixth sense among human beings.

As a result, everything works fine.The mini spaceship was launched at the perfect time according to the arrangement of the computer, connected at the perfect time, perfectly captured by the [transition ship] and sent into the buffer cabin.

When all the aerodynamic hatches turned on the [closed] green light, the transition ship restarted after a slight shake, and re-calibrated the path to the flagship "Goethe", Zheng Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The roof of the mini-spaceship is open.Zheng Zhuo unfastened his seat belt, leaned back on the back of the chair, and exhaled the air in his lungs.

"Everything is perfect, but I feel very tired..."

He stretched his body, swiped his identity information, and connected the microcomputer of his power armor to the local area network shared by the transition ship.

Beside him, Wei Hao was doing the same thing.At this point, the mission of the 187th team has come to an end.Wei Hao is uploading all the data related to the mission to the flagship terminal through the signal base station of the transition ship, deleting the local backup, and then downloading the star map model of the surrounding star field in the vacated position.

Zheng Zhuo requested to share some star maps.He couldn't ask for more: the capacity of his microcomputer was much smaller than that of Wei Hao with the memory chip installed.

Therefore, there are some things he can only ask.

"Is there any planet that appears to be covered in blue-green liquid?"

He asked the questions that mattered most to him.

"I haven't seen it yet."

Wei Hao's eye movement frequency is extremely high.He is reviewing and recording the star chart as quickly as possible.

"The central [-] areas have been scanned, but nothing was found. Why do you ask?"

"I received a piece of information that I am a bit concerned about."

There is no need to hide from Wei Hao.Zheng Zhuo decided to tell Wei Hao about it after slightly modifying his wording.He floated out of the minispaceship and opened the buffer door to the interior of the jumpship.

Wei Hao followed behind him.

"That piece of information..."

Just when Zheng Zhuo was halfway through speaking.

Suddenly, the transition ship shook violently.Both Zheng Zhuo and Wei Hao were almost thrown out of the door.

Immediately afterwards, all the lights in the room went out.A second later, the green emergency light came on.Inside the helmet, warnings popped up one after another.

"Assaulted! Assaulted!"

The piercing siren seemed to pierce the eardrum directly.

"Attacked! Attacked! The Zerg spaceship appeared at a very close distance! Repeat, attacked! Please quickly enter the preparation positions!"

The jump ship is under attack!

The problem is, both Zheng Zhuo and Wei Hao have just boarded the ship...they have not been assigned to prepare for battle!
……

【Option [-]】

[Go to the naval gun control area that comes with the transition ship]

【Option [-]】

[Go to the power system of the transition ship]

【Option [-]】

[Re-pilot the mini spaceship to leave the transition ship and support it from the outside]
