Chapter 100 Woodpecker

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

(TL:We have reached chapter  100. I want to thank everyone for their continued support for this series.)

In the space station.

　　“Didi!"The sudden sound of an alarm interrupted the happy daily life of Tom and Jerry.

　　“Hmm?What's the situation?Jerry immediately checked the control panel, Tom also took off his headphones, sat up straight and became serious.

　　Those who can be selected by thousands to become astronauts are all elites among the elites!If Tom can be selected, it is naturally impossible to be as uncoordinated as it seems.

　　“This...the air pressure in the oxygen tank is falling!"Jerry exclaimed.

　　The two looked at each other, and immediately saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. There is no oxygen in space, needless to say, they know what will happen!

　　"Jerry, wake up Butch immediately!I'm going to wear spacewalk equipment and be ready to go out of the cabin to check the situation at any time!"Tom showed good professionalism at this time.

　　“Good!"Jerry replied!

　　The two acted immediately.

　　“Woohoo~" The shrill siren soon resounded throughout the space station!

　　“Ha~ what's going on?Huh?This is...alarm!”

　　Butch, another astronaut in his sleep, was shocked when he woke up and immediately rushed to the control room of the space station!

　　“Jerry, what's the situation, why did the alarm sound?"”

　　“The oxygen tank seems to have been hit by something, and the air pressure is falling!"Jerry was a little sweaty on his forehead, crackling on the keyboard.

　　“What!How could this happen!Is it space debris?！"Butch exclaimed.

　　“I don't know, Tom is already wearing equipment and is ready to go out of the warehouse to check the situation. You can help him and be ready to answer at any time!”

　　“Ok!I'll go right away!”

　　After Butch left, only Jerry was left in the control room.

　　“Jerry, this is Tom, and I am ready to leave the cabin. How is the loss?"Tom's voice sounded in the communicator.

　　“The pressure is still declining, but fortunately, the rate of decline is not very fast, and the damage should not be too great!According to the calculation, counting the emergency oxygen cylinder, we still have 2 hours and 56 minutes!If the time is up and it hasn't been repaired, then we can only enter the escape pod and go home!”

　　"Huh!The situation is not too bad, there are nearly three hours left!There is plenty of time, I will leave the cabin for maintenance now!Go back to your hometown or something, let's talk about it when you are about to get married!”

　　Jerry: “......”

　　……

　　Soon after, a hatch of the space station was opened. Tom, wearing a bloated spacesuit, had a repair gun in his hand and a safety rope tied behind him. He floated out of the space station awkwardly, slowly moving towards the oxygen tank along the preset armrests on the outer wall!

　　After more than ten minutes, Tom came to the oxygen tank, and at first glance he found a small crack that was spraying white mist-like gas!

　　“I saw it!It's in a very conspicuous position in front of me, thank God!The damage is not serious, it should be caused by the impact of space dust, don't worry!I will be able to fix it soon!"Tom said.

　　“Great!"Jerry breathed a sigh of relief.“I have notified the ground command center of the situation here!Report the maintenance situation on your side at any time!Be careful yourself!”

　　“Roger that!”

　　Then Tom grabbed the armrest in one hand and came to the breach with a repair gun in the other.

　　The repair gun is a kind of special repair gun for space equipment. The shape is somewhat similar to a nail gun, with a square muzzle.

　　I saw Tom point the muzzle of his gun at the breach, and then pulled the trigger.

　　"Puff!”When Tom removed the muzzle of the gun, the damage on it had been firmly attached by a square piece of black repair material, and it no longer leaked. It looked like a patch had been patched.

　　The temporary repair work has been completed, and the damage needs to be inspected and reinforced in the future, but normally, this kind of repair is sufficient.

　　“It's done!Look, this is just a small problem, my dear Jerry, I'll give you another set of pancake fruit when I get back!Haha!"Tom joked with a smile, turned around and went back to the space station.

　　“Uh...Tom?Are you sure it has been fixed?But the air pressure is still falling!"Jerry wondered.

　　“What!？"Tom was taken aback for a moment, then turned and looked at the oxygen tank, only to see another breach next to the repaired patch, and the leakage of white mist-like gas was very conspicuous!"

　　“Uh...maybe...I just glanced at it. There are two damages in total, and one is leaking. Don't worry!I will fix it immediately!"Tom finished replying to Jerry, but he was a little strange in his heart.

　　I just saw that there is only one damage?Can you read it wrong at such a close distance?

　　But in any case, this was just a small mistake, and Tom immediately started to repair it.

　　"Puff!”Another patch was hit, and Tom checked it up and down this time to confirm that there was no problem.“Jerry, it's done. I think I'm not getting enough sleep. It seems that I have to change shifts with Butch in advance.”

　　“But the pressure...is still falling..." Jerry said a little speechlessly.

“what?This is impossible!I have obviously fixed it!"Tom exclaimed.

　　He carefully checked the damage twice again, and the helmet of the spacesuit was almost attached to the two patches, and finally confirmed...The repair was perfect, and there was no sign of air leakage at all!

　　But the pressure is still falling!Could it be that there are other damages?

　　Tom then began to look at other parts of the oxygen tank. There was indeed no one in front of him. He turned around the outer wall of the oxygen tank, and then was shocked to find that there was really a damage not far away that was leaking air.

　　“Uh, Jerry, you may not believe it when you say it, I actually found the third one!"Tom was a little speechless.

　　“It's nothing, maybe it's a penetrating injury caused by dust, both front and back.Hurry up and fix it. These precious oxygen leaks are a great loss to us, and it is causing a slight impact on the orbit of the space station!”

　　“I see!"Tom accelerated to the damaged area and began to repair it.

　　However, what he didn't notice at all was that just as he was undergoing repair work, at the top right of him, a silver needle suddenly pierced out of the oxygen tank.，

Then the thief shrank back into the oxygen tank in a daze, and then the white mist-like gas escaped happily from the inside.

　　After Tom filled up the third breach, he soon found a new wound on the upper right. He swore that he had just glanced there. Two minutes ago, it was absolutely intact!

　　“Damn it!I found the fourth one!What the hell is going on, I just clearly saw that there is no gap at all in that position!”

　　“Tom, make sure you are not kidding, stop playing!Hurry up and fix it, nearly half an hour has passed!We have suffered heavy losses!"Jerry said anxiously.

　　“I swear I'm not kidding!Damn it!"Tom cursed while rushing over to continue repairing the fourth damage, but he couldn't see...the fifth one was forming.”……

　　Jerry naturally heard it, and Tom's anxious tone definitely didn't seem to be joking!

　　“Tom, be careful, if this is the case, then we may have encountered a small dust belt, Butch!How is the situation on your side?Tom needs support!”

　　“I'm ready, now get out of the cabin to support Tom, Jerry, you'd better put on your spacesuit and prepare the oxygen tank, just in case!”

　　“Okay, I see!”

　　Since then, Tom's incredible exclamation has been heard in the communication channel.

　　"Damn it!This is the fifth one...”

　　“Fuck！The sixth one!”

　　“The seventh...” Later, Tom was almost numb.

　　Soon after, Buji joined the repair army, and there was an immediate exclamation in the communication channel.

　　“My God!How could there be so many cracks!Is today April Fool's Day!”

　　“Oh my god!I just passed by here, there is nothing abnormal at all!Where did these gaps come from!？”

　　Control the interior.

　　Jerry: “......”

　　……

　　Outside the space station, two astronauts were seen carrying out seemingly never-ending repair work.……

　　Two figures go up and down, LEFT and right, BABA... playing a dangerous game similar to playing a hamster……

　　Finally, half an hour later……

　　“Huh~ I swear, this situation is absolutely abnormal!"Tom panted and looked at the outer wall of the oxygen tank covered with dozens of patches speechlessly.

　　“Huh~ Jerry, how is the situation now?We have run out of repair materials!And oxygen won't last long!"Boogie is also exhausted, and in the case of weightlessness, the human body's activity consumption is more intense.

　　“But the pressure is still falling!And the rate of oxygen loss is accelerating!We only have less than an hour left now!What the hell is going on!Why do the oxygen tanks have so many cracks on their own?I have observed that there are no signs of dust belts around here!"Jerry's tone was anxious.

　　Tom stared at the oxygen tank strangely and looked again, “Maybe...there is a woodpecker hidden in it?"”

　　Boogie: “......”

　　Jerry: “......”
