"All dead? But I remember the main gate by the shipyard should have been open, right?"
"The main gate to the core in the Space Arm wasn't closed, but the gate from the maintenance factory to the shipyard was closed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately recalled the structure over by Space Arm 1.
Space Arm 1 is essentially a shipyard, with a passageway directly leading inside the Space Station.
And this passageway, at the end of Space Arm 1, extends to both sides where the maintenance factories are located. Each side of the maintenance factory has a door that generally hasn't been closed between the factory buildings and the passageway.
Never thought in an emergency, they'd shut by themselves.
Chen Ming sensed it must have been an automatic closure, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the emergency to break into the maintenance factory and commit theft or the like.
Once these doors shut, the staff in the maintenance factory were naturally locked inside.
