羊毛战记 Part 5 The Stranded 72

　　72,　　• Silo 17 •,　　The water inside the suit was freezing, the air cold, the combination lethal ¹. Juliette’s teeth chatterednoisily while she worked the knife. She slid the blade into the soggy skin of the suit, the feeling ofhaving already been here, having done all this before, unmistakable.,　　The gloves came off first, the suit destroyed, water pouring out of every cut. Juliette rubbed herhands together, could barely feel them. She hacked ³ away at the material over her chest, her eyesfalling to Solo, who had gone deathly still. His large wrench ⁴ was missing, she saw. Their supply bagwas gone as well. The compressor was on its side, the hose kinked beneath it, fuel leaking from theloose filling cap.,　　Juliette was freezing. She could hardly breathe. Once the chest of the suit was cut open, shewiggled her knees and feet through the hole, spun ⁵ the material around in front of herself, then tried topry the Velcro apart.,　　Her fingers were too senseless even to do this. She ran the knife down the joint ⁶ instead, sawing theVelcro apart until she could find the zipper ⁷.,　　Juliette moved to Solo’s side and reached for his neck. Her hands were icy; she couldn’t feel apulse, wasn’t sure if she would be able to. She could barely feel his neck with her frozen fingers.,　　She struggled to her feet, nearly collapsed ⁸, hugged the landing’s railing. She teetered toward thecompressor, knowing she needed to warm up. She felt the powerful urge to go to sleep but knewshe’d never wake up if she did.,　　The fuel can was still full. She tried to work the cap, but her hands were useless. They were numband vibrating from the cold. Her breath fogged in front of her, a chilly ¹⁰ reminder ¹¹ of the heat she waslosing, what little heat she had left.,　　She grabbed the knife. Holding it in both hands, she pressed the tip into the cap. The flat handlewas easier to grasp than the plastic cap; she spun the knife and cracked the lid on the jug ¹² of fuel.,　　Once the cap was loose, she pulled the blade out and did the rest with her palms, the knife resting inher lap.,She took a lethal amount of poison and died.她服了致命剂量的毒药死了。,They chattered away happily for a while. 他们高兴地闲扯了一会儿 。
