Tang Yue kept silent the entire time.
He was leaning against the Mars Wanderer, passing a rope through its handle and stairs, firmly binding himself to it. Tang Yue no longer could stand firm. Just two hours ago, he had lost the feeling in his feet due to the cold. Now, he felt as though he was propped up on two wooden stakes. His knees could no longer bend, and the commands fired from his brain could no longer reach his leg muscles.
This made Tang Yue recall his time on Earth. Back then, he was thrown into the Daxing'anling Prefecture with Old Wang for training where they had suffered cold weather with temperatures reaching –30°C. The outdoor survival training was part of the program passed down by their ancestors. Everyone had to participate in it, and the astronaut center had a saying: "If you find yourself in an uninhabited zone, I hope you don't end up as wolf feces!" Even though the re-entry module of the Mars mission would splash down at sea.
