少年依照所學進行檢測，試著聆聽呼吸放鬆身心，在無垠世界中等待救援。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsRxQB2Bir

突然，一塊金屬殘骸擊中齊波，害他失控打轉。一下黑、一下白，周遭景色快速閃過，喘息與心跳不斷加快，他什麼都做不到。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvK0w7v4D
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVJpGfzuU

手環跑出大串紅字，系統重啟無效，拍打也沒有讓螢幕恢復正常。龐大孤寂席捲大腦，K62恆星露出努那地平線，照進齊波尼亞的瞳孔。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYTdxnA7v

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUQYOUIsXD
「研究結果顯示，努那人撐不過跨星系航行……適應大質量星球的基因，會在無重力空間變異，侵蝕身體組織，最終導致死亡。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaEzoXcDOf
