The voice echoed through the capsule, sounding calm and gentle. However, Barra only felt a thunderclap in his heart - how could anyone still be on this star shuttle?!

She immediately clenched her fists. The magnetic device on the soles of her feet turned on, snapping her feet to the ground. Then she turned, pulled a small stun gun from her waist, and pointed it straight behind her where the sound was sounding.

She saw a man standing in the hatch. This man...... She's seen it. It's the guard who gave her a pass.

In her impression, the guard was a guy with a big personality, and a little lustful, and coveted himself for a long time. He used to have a lazy expression on his face, and only when he saw a pretty girl would he lift his spirits, and then watch the girl go away.

But at this moment, the man stood up straight, pursed his lips, and his expression was calm and calm, as if he was ......

A saint.

He is the kind of saint who has a strong conviction and finally hears the final revelation and call of God, and intends to die for the sake of martyrdom. and the expression of peace and contentment that characterizes the saint in the last moments of his life.

This expression meant that the man's presence here was not accidental. At least he knew who he was and why he was here.

So Barra clenched his stun gun and tried to make himself look as calm as he was, saying, "Who are you?" What do you just mean? ”

"That's a counter-object! Mass bombs. The man's gaze crossed Bala's shoulder and landed on the "hourglass," "There's a gram of hydrogen in it, and a gram of anti-hydrogen." Once annihilated, it will explode. Destroy at least three nodes. ”

He withdrew his gaze and looked into Barra's eyes: "It will also cause a martyrdom." The ejected material during the explosion will create a recoil force that pushes the entire space-based station off orbit. Considering the current direction of rotation of the space-based station, Miss Barra, guess where it will deviate? ”

He didn't want Barra to answer the question. Instead, they asked themselves: "It will be biased towards the earth." If it's a complete Endless Space, it also has the ability to self-correct its orbit. But when that happens, it will slowly fall towards the earth - and no one can stop it. ”

"This is a two-billion-ton man-made object. Carries a lot of fuel, and even a lot of antimatter bombs like the one behind you. Do you know what kind of catastrophe it will cause if it hits the earth? ”

Barra couldn't help but tilt his face slightly, and looked at the small "hourglass" with his peripheral vision.

Right now. She knew what it was.

But she didn't know why the instructions given to her were like this.

“…… I know. She whispered.

"No, you don't." The man shook his head slightly, "What's the worst disaster you can imagine?" Ruining a continent? Anger the Old Gods? Neither. Far more than that strict zhòng. ”

The man sighed softly and paced in place. The magnetic device on the soles of his feet made his steps look a little heavy. His expression slowly changed, from calm and calm to a little excited.

Barra understands the expression. It's the expression that everyone who has been in space long enough can have on it - something that has been suppressed in the heart for too long, and this depression is reinforced by the vastness of indifferent space.

If you don't talk about something, it will drive people crazy.

The man stopped. Raised his head, looked at the stun gun in Barra's hand, and smiled: "Do you know why we built this space-based station?" ”

"For immigrants." Barra said.

"For immigrants." The man repeated, "To escape from what? Old Gods? ”

"What else could it be?" Barra felt a little calmer in her heart. This man...... As if he was going to talk to himself a little longer—his secret must have been hidden in his heart for too long.

"Huh." The man shook his head and tapped the bulkhead. As a result, the protective plate on the outside of the shuttle was slowly retracted, and the dim starlight in the vast universe, as well as the earth like a colored marble in the extreme distance, appeared in the field of vision.

"What are you doing?! It's dangerous! Barra exclaimed.

There are often tiny meteorites in space. And there is no atmospheric protection here. During the years of space-based station construction, a considerable part of people's energy was devoted to repairing the parts that were often destroyed by tiny meteorites. A lot of people joke that it's a battlefield of bullets – even though the bullets aren't that dense. But every month or two, I always hear that someone walking in space has been hit by a micrometeorite, and the whole person blossoms.

The sunroof glass in the cockpit on both sides of the star shuttle is custom-made. But the middle part is not. If the exterior shield is put away in such a space, if the misfortune happens to be hit by a micrometeorite, then it is impossible for either of them to survive.

A slight mocking smile appeared on the man's lips: "Miss Barra has the consciousness to carry this antimatter bomb to the node and plan to detonate it, but is she afraid of death?" ”

"I didn't—" Barra subconsciously retorted, but quickly recoiled.

The man laughed again: "You don't know about that." Just execute the command. Then I tell you what we need to escape. ”

He stretched out his hand to the Earth in the far distance: "It's it." It is a huge living being. And it's about to wake up. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about......" Barra couldn't help but want to look at Earth. But she didn't turn around, still aiming her gun at the man.

But the next moment she noticed that the expression on the man's face had changed.

As if he had seen something terrible, he froze for a moment, then opened his mouth slightly and widened his eyes.

Barra thinks the man wants this low-level trick to trick him into turning around and subduing himself. But then she noticed the man striding towards her. Or walk towards the transparent bulkhead.

"Stand there and don't move!" Barra shouted,

But the man ignored her warnings and did not stop for a moment.

Barra gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger. The blue lightning struck the man, and the slight scorching smell was fleeting. However, the man did not pause and continued to walk forward.

A stun gun didn't work for him. Kobala had realized that the man's goal was not his own. So she finally turned around and looked with the man at the earth in the distance.

Then her expression changed to the same as the man's.

The Earth looks like a marble. In fact, it is much larger than a marble, and the size of a grapefruit.

Now they noticed that a small red dot had appeared at one end of the grapefruit, which is the location of the South Pole. Like a colorful face. An acne appears.

But both men realized that the area of this "acne" could be as large as a quarter of the Antarctic continent.

"That's ......," Barra exclaimed, subconsciously covering her mouth, as if she could touch the heart-pounding red spot.

The man stared at the position for a moment and whispered, "It should be a volcanic eruption." ”

"Such a large volcano?!" Barra looked at him with wide eyes. "Doesn't that mean the entire Antarctic continent is a volcano?!"

The man turned his head slowly: "As long as it wants, it can be a volcano." Now you understand what I mean? It is alive. We built this base station to escape it, not the so-called Old Gods. And even that ancient god can't wait to stay away from it! ”

"It'...... You ......," Barra looked at the shocking earth and then at the man, "how do you know such a thing?" Who are you? ”

But the man didn't answer her words, just stared at her: "Do you still want to do that now?" Transporting this thing to the node? And then let this space-based station hit the earth and wake it up early? ”

Barra was stunned for a moment. Biting his lip, he looked back at the hourglass: "I didn't originally want to...... But this order—"

"The Emperor gave it to you." The man nodded, "Your comrade number one is the Emperor." ”

"How is that possible?!" Barra frowned, "He's still on the ground!" ”

"Why can't it be?" The man's voice changed. Not only did his voice change, but so did his appearance. The difference between a person's physiognomy depends on certain minor details. And now these small details that have changed outline a completely different face.

This is a face that Barra is also familiar with.

She blinked in disbelief. Take a step back slightly: "Are you ...... Li Zhen?! ”

"It's me." Li Zhen said. But Barra didn't realize that there was a playful smile hidden in his voice.

Barra's heart was in turmoil, and he felt that the composure he had pretended to be completely gone. Became a little cramped: "How could you ...... Over here? ”

"Because your emperor intends to drag many people to die together." "But I can't let him do that." ”

"Now, if you don't want more people to die, you have to sue me, your comrades at the space-based station, who else are there?"

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away on Earth. The dawn seemed to have come early.

Li Zhen and Zhu Zhaoxu saw the red light in the south at the same time.

It was as if the sun had gone the wrong way and had not risen from the east, but from the south.

They even felt a slight jolt. It was as if someone was stomping their feet hard near them.

"What's that?" Zhu Zhaoxu put down his hand pointing at Gao Tian suspiciously, and frowned slightly.

Because he found that Li Zhen's face had also changed. There were few things in his mind that could make this incomparably powerful being look so, even a little, of fear.

Many people say that Li Zhen is no longer human, but almost a god. Zhu Zhaoxu didn't like this statement very much. However, he knew that his subconscious was more inclined to agree with this statement. The change in the expression on the man's face made him even more uneasy.

He realized that something very terrible had happened.

He saw Li Zhen staring at the reddish clouds to the south, and did not say a word for ten seconds. Then the terrifying momentum on his body that almost wanted to kill him on the spot faded away.

Li Zhen turned his face and glanced at Zhu Zhaoxu, and announced in a calm tone: "It's going to wake up." ”

"Who?" Zhu Zhaoxu asked subconsciously.

But the next moment he found the answer himself.

"You say...... It? Zhu Zhaoxu couldn't help lowering his voice and pointing to his feet, as if he was afraid of waking up something.

Li Zhen knew that the emperor's reaction at this moment was the same as he had ten years ago. After learning the news, for a long time, he didn't dare to use his abilities anymore, and even walked lightly. Knowing that these things have no effect on this huge existence under your feet, but the fear buried deep in your heart tells him that you will feel better if you do this.

"I'm not going to kill you. Zhu Zhaoxu. Li Zhen said to him, "Now, we have more important things to do." ”

Zhu Zhaoxu, who was shrouded in great fear, wanted to answer a few decent words. But he just couldn't say it.

He knew that there were probably only a handful of people who felt so frightened tonight—the ones who knew that great and terrifying secret. He had never been so envious of the ignorant and fearless civilians.

"You...... Say. He said abruptly.

"Stop your activity on the space-based station. I will also negotiate with Ying Ranran. Then, the evacuation began. Li Zhen said.

"Evacuate to the space-based station?"

"Yes."

"But it's not built yet!"

"Then implement Plan 2."

Of course, Zhu Zhaoxu knew the second plan. This is the final plan that was originally planned to be executed in the most pessimistic scenario.

They envisioned the most pessimistic scenario. For example, in the middle of the project, this situation is happening today.

The reason why the Endless Space is spliced together one node after another is not only to facilitate the construction work, but also because, once the construction cannot be completed, then those nodes that have been built in advance can also form a small ecosystem.

But that means a brutal truth.

If the entire space-based station is finally built, it can accommodate one million people. Then a small station composed of half of the nodes can only accommodate 100,000 people.

The most important thing is that a space-based station that is not fully built will not have the ability to return to home. It would be a one-way trip for the lucky or unfortunate few. Once they head into deep space, they say goodbye to their home planet.

And the vast majority of the remaining people will face ruin, or choose to lose their physical bodies forever - ascension.

Zhu Zhaoxu laughed maniacally: "Plan No. 2 - there are only two hundred and twenty-three nodes that have been completed now. How many people can these things be taken with them when they are stitched together? 10,000 people? Li Zhen - Hahaha, your heart is even more ruthless than mine! ”

"What else would I do?" Li Zhen said calmly, "You have to ...... Someone's alive. ”

He glanced at Zhu Zhaoxu again: "You have twenty hours." You do this well, and I'll give you five places. You can bring as many people as you want. ”

"How do I know you're not lying to me."

Li Zhen looked at Zhu Zhaoxu and suddenly laughed: "You don't have a choice." ”

Then he flew up towards the red light. And he felt the call of that great being in the depths of the ocean.

He glanced back, breaking the sound barrier.

Today's holiday, hahaha, happy holiday everyone. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, I wish you all good luck and good health in the Year of the Horse! (To be continued......) I1292
