"Sir, we have received information from the relevant departments, and now we can determine that the shadow area in front of us is the black barrier area encountered by the Sixth Colonial Fleet." Aboard the Seeker, the Communications Officer is briefing the captain on the latest information from Earth.

"And what about our latest mission?" The captain stood in front of the huge observation window and looked at the endless darkness in front of him, and a strong sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart, how can human beings overcome such darkness?

"Sir, it says let's decide for ourselves." The communications officer replied with some hesitation: "They say that we can venture into the Black Barrier and try to get in touch with the Sixth Colonial Fleet, or we can return to the solar system and wait for the final moment to come, or we can find a random direction to avoid disasters and leave one more spark for civilization." ”

The captain frowned and opened his own port, and along with the information, an encrypted letter was delivered.

The letter states that, without the knowledge of the captain himself, the ship is equipped with four biosilos, which contain enough biosilos to construct an entire biosphere, including human embryos.

This is a temporary addition to the command before the battleship sets sail, although the battleship was not designed to perform such a task in the first place, but under the secret arrangement of the relevant departments, almost all ships with destinations outside the solar system will be attached to such secret instructions.

"Convene a meeting with the entire crew in attendance." By order of the captain, the crews of various non-important posts were mobilized to the canteen, the deck conference rooms on each floor.

The figure of the captain appeared on every screen of the battleship, with a serious expression: "I am here to officially inform you of the news, our mission has been completed, but the lunar base has not sent us a new mission. ”

Most of the crew members on this battleship are newcomers recruited after the relevant departments made it public, and they are all elites from various fleets, but they do not know the unit they belong to now.

"I have to regret to inform you that the truth of this shady curtain in front of us has been revealed, and its existence represents that the entire human civilization is an observable civilization kept in a black box." The captain's voice was full of pain: "The Sixth Colonial Fleet that set off two years ago is wrapped in the darkness, and they sailed to the edge of the universe as we know it, and this is the result of contacting the edge. ”

The crew members who can serve on the battleship have a complete knowledge of space, and they can understand what the captain means by the black box civilization.

The crew began to discuss with each other irrepressibly, as soldiers fighting on the front line, they always knew that they were facing an enemy from an unknown world, that the enemy was quite strong, and that at least humans were at a disadvantage in front of the enemy.

However, they were not afraid, because they believed that the gap in weapons could be bridged by courage and skill, and their civilization had faced countless challenges over the past few thousand years, but no matter how terrible the battle, they were stubbornly victorious.

But this time is different.

As the captain reveals all he knows, the crew finally realizes that they are a group of mortals who challenge the gods with spears.

Their imaginary enemies may be armed with high-tech weapons, wielded magic wands, beaked with fangs, winged and tall, or even imagined their enemies to be 'stealth' creatures beyond human perception.

But using the universe as a chessboard, the entire civilization as a testing ground, and driving the magnificent celestial phenomena as weapons, this is beyond the scope of their imagination.

"Our warship carries supplies to rebuild the biosphere, and this warship may not be suitable for the job, but it still has a 1 in 10,000 chance that it will be one of the sparks for humanity's revival." The captain said to the whole team: "I can't give up this spark of hope, even if there is an unknown that could destroy the world, my responsibility makes it impossible for me to make a choice between the two worlds." ”

The captain's words silenced everyone, and after the initial panic, years of service had made them habitually waiting for orders.

"I am now officially resigning as captain, and until then, I have appointed the first mate to become the new captain." The captain did issue a new order: "I ask twenty volunteers to board the scientific research ship with me and sail to the black barrier area, for the sake of mankind to obtain more information, and the rest of the people will replace me and sprinkle the fire of mankind to the corners of the universe." ”

"Volunteers, please go to the lower deck to report to me, and I'll be leaving in four hours, regardless of whether there are enough people or not." The captain removed his badge and put it on the table in front of him, and saluted everyone: "New Huaxia Wansheng!" Humanity lives on! ”

The captain then disappeared from the screen, and two hours later, volunteers filled the lower deck, with all crew members volunteering to follow the captain into the Black Barrier.

Eventually, the captain selected the twenty oldest of the crew, boarded the research ship with him, and broke away from the mothership under the watchful eyes of the entire crew, heading out into the infinite darkness.

In the game world, Vitoria, who has been AFK for a long time, returns.

The samurai woke up in her guest room on the second floor of a tavern, a tavern in Wangxiang City, where she was last offline, and all the expenses were paid for by the Lord's Mansion.

When Vittoria walked down from the second floor, the tavern regulars froze for a few seconds before erupting in deafening cheers.

Our beer queen is back! They shouted as they slapped the table so hard that the bartender could put the barrel up as if it were their gift to the Queen.

The samurai, in the midst of such laughter and alcohol, had left everything that had happened on the migrant ship behind, and now she just wanted to have a drunken dream.

In fact, with Vitoria's attributes, these drinks could not get her drunk at all, except for making her constantly go to and from the bathroom.

It's just that everyone is drunk when she is drunk, she just wants to escape from reality, and not every soldier can calmly face such a cold reality.

The drunken Vittoria seemed to see Charlison. Manson's viper-like eyes, she toasted at each other with a wine glass: "Charlison, where is your TM body?" Why is your head dangling in front of me? ”

"Oh! I forgot, you're dead, it's my hallucination..."Vitoria looked at Charlison's exposed spine and patted her head hard: "We still had a chance to have a drink, but now you can't drink it, and it's a waste of it!" I did it for you! ”
