When Chen Xu said this, his heart was pounding wildly.

At this time, the suction outside the hatch became smaller, which meant that the pressure inside and outside the spacecraft was about to reach equilibrium. He tapped another button on his waist, and the steel cable slowly retracted, driving his body upward.

After a while, the cable had reached the end, and the suction force outside the door disappeared. He unbuckled the cable, kicked off, and floated towards Yang Jinxia.

He floated to Yang Jinxia's side, propped himself up on the wall, relieved the momentum, and came to a steady stop. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes were fixed on him, revealing a strange calmness.

He felt a sense of foreboding from her gaze, and his throat tightened a little, and he said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Soon, he saw a small hole on her shoulder from which air was leaking.

There was no sound in the vacuum, but he seemed to hear a hissing sound, like a death warrant, which made his heart ache.

"Don't move." He panted, turned his hand and took out a roll of silver tape from the tool bag on his back, and tore off a piece. He was wearing thick gloves, which seriously hindered his flexibility. This simple action took several seconds.

Yang Jinxia had been looking at him. Through the round transparent helmet, she could clearly see beads of sweat the size of beans pouring out of his forehead. The breath he exhaled made the helmet covered with a white mist, which quickly disappeared. Then he exhaled another mist, which also disappeared.

"Don't worry." She whispered soothingly.

Chen Xu finally tore off a piece of tape and put it on the leaking part of her shoulder. His forehead and face were already covered with sweat. He swallowed and asked, "Is it still leaking?"

Yang Jinxia shook her head and said, "It won't leak."

Chen Xu asked again, "How much oxygen is left?"

"Everything flew out." Yang Jinxia did not answer him, but talked about another thing.

Everything just happened so suddenly that everything they brought, including the tool box, the food and water they had collected wrapped in several curtains, and the backup power and oxygen for the space suits, were all blown away.

Without food and water, we can only hold on for a few days. At worst, we can go back to the spacecraft to find them. Without oxygen, it will be fatal. Normally, a bottle of oxygen is enough to sustain for two hours.

Along the way, they had changed their oxygen several times. Unfortunately, the oxygen they had had was changed an hour ago, so Chen Xu only had less than an hour's supply left.

As for Yang Jinxia, ​​there was no way to calculate how much he had leaked. But it was obvious that neither of them had enough time to return to their original position. After losing the toolbox, they had no way to open the transport hatch halfway.

"How much is it?" Chen Xu panted even harder, his voice a little hoarse.

He was not in a good condition. After eight hours of study, the side effects were still haunting him. He had just woken up when he encountered such a serious thing. He had no time to rest at all, and he had been rushing all the way. His physical and mental strength were almost reaching the limit.

Yang Jinxia lowered her eyes and whispered, "Five point eight percent."

That means there are less than five minutes left.

Chen Xu's mind started working rapidly. Strangely, at this moment, it was exceptionally clear and he figured it out in one go.

Five minutes! This number made his heart ache for a moment, and he said, "Don't move here, I'll go outside to find an oxygen tank." Then he pushed hard with his arms and floated out of the exit of the transport cabin.

Yang Jinxia turned around and said to 2003, "Take me over there."

There was always a light in 2003's eyes. After hearing her command, it pulled her and floated towards the exit. Its body was a bit clumsy and its movements were slow. It didn't seem very flexible, but with its powerful computing ability, it stopped accurately at the exit.

Once she got out, she could see the starry sky outside. The entire main cabin, including the warehouse area, had disappeared, including the spaceship she had driven.

At the edge, you can see that the metal is curled outward, showing irregular fracture marks, as if it was torn apart violently.

On this side, you can see that the wall of the transmission channel is slightly concave.

Looking at the scene here, one can guess that there was a violent explosion here, which blew up the entire main hatch area. Everything disappeared into the vast space.

Yang Jinxia looked at the light screen and saw that the oxygen content had dropped below 5%, and it was constantly issuing warnings. She turned around and followed Chen Xu's figure, and saw that he was in the original corridor, looking for a space suit.

When the oxygen content dropped below three percent, she felt as if breathing seemed a little difficult.

"2003, let me go."

She looked carefully and saw that he was holding only a bottle of oxygen. She asked, "Only one?"

Chen Xu had already flown next to her. Because he rushed too hard, he slid a distance to ease the momentum. He floated over holding onto the wall and said, "I'll charge you first."

"What about you?" Yang Jinxia was also a little out of breath.

"I'll look for it later." Chen Xu said, and was about to put the oxygen cylinder into the air cylinder replacement position behind her.

"No."

Yang Jinxia turned around and floated back a distance, her eyes fixed on him. "The damage here is so severe, this may be the last bottle. If you give it to me, we will both die."

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Xu's face changed, and he pushed with both hands and flew towards her.

"I want you to be alive." With that, he pushed hard and flew into outer space.

She pushed him with all her strength, very fast. She kept facing him, with love and reluctance in her eyes, and she murmured, "Promise me that you must live well."

"No--"

Chen Xu watched her fly outside, his head buzzing.

"What I want is for you to love me. I want you to never forget me for the rest of your life. I want to leave an indelible mark in your heart forever."

The last time they met, her confession rang in my ears again.

Everything in front of me seemed to disappear, leaving only her figure that was getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Yang Jinxia, ​​don't even think about it." Then, he pushed his feet hard against the wall and flew out into the starry sky at a faster speed.

"you--"

Yang Jinxia, ​​who was flying backwards, saw this scene and her eyes suddenly widened and her gaze became dull.

Chen Xu's speed was much faster. A minute later, the distance between them was getting closer and closer. When it was reduced to ten meters, they suddenly passed each other.

He used his feet to exert force this time, and his control was not so precise. In the vast universe, a slight error can lead to a huge mistake. Once they crossed paths, the distance between them would become farther and farther.

At this moment, Chen Xu pressed the button on his waist, and the steel cable bounced out again, accurately buckling on the steel cable buckle on her waist. Then, the steel cable straightened, and the two of them paused, changed direction at the same time, and floated towards each other.

When the distance between them was the shortest, Chen Xu reached out to grab her, but he missed her by a little bit, and they crossed each other again until the steel cable straightened again. He paused for a moment, and then changed direction again.

Chen Xu then remembered to press the button and retract the cable. As the cable became shorter and shorter, the two of them tumbled and spun, and Chen Xu finally caught her.

He could see that she had difficulty breathing with her mouth open. He immediately inserted the oxygen bottle in his hand into the ventilation hole on her back. After a while, the old bottle automatically fell out.

Yang Jinxia took a deep breath, panting, and said hurriedly, "Why are you so stupid?"

"You are such a self-righteous woman."

At this time, Chen Xu could no longer suppress his anger, and his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire. "Do you think that you can force me to accept the path you arranged by creating a fait accompli? It was like this once, twice, and three times. I tell you, no way."

"From today on, I have the final say in everything. If we want to live, we live together. If we want to die, we die together."

Yang Jinxia looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes, floating inside the helmet, wetting her face and her hair.
