Part 7 The Watcher of the Exotic Starry Sky 12 Transition Chapter 2

12 Transitional Part 2

1. The last year of the Watchmen

……

On the Watcher in the exotic starry sky, Wang Chen had recovered from the hibernation capsule, and the loyal nanobots had been guarding him. Looking at the messy cabin, Wang Chen noticed that most of Saivia had escaped, although it was not clear how he obtained the control permissions, but as far as the current situation was concerned, Wang Chen still had to bury Mike's body. After cleaning up the dilapidated space station, Wang Chen sat in front of the window, staring at the dark night skyβ€”the exotic starry sky, strange and familiar. The Overwatch floats lonely in the starry sky, carrying out the mission that will save human civilization.

Wang Chen remembered Mike, the time when the two of them taught Saivia together, and how anxious he was when he was obsessed with designing the device...... Eventually, they remembered that the two of them had fought together against Sevia, who betrayed them.

Buried in a foreign universe, this is the end of Mike Carmack.

Everything was so quiet, as if there were no living people here.

When Wang Chen returned to the control cabin, he saw the special survival module for clones, he had never entered there, and now, he involuntarily got into it! The overall feeling was no different from that of the hibernation pod - until the liquid in it flooded him, cool and slippery, and then he fell asleep unconsciously......

In the survival pod, he personally felt the frustration, helplessness, despair, and anger in the heart of this traitor from Earth...... Hatred of humanity......

Wang Chen understands that this emotion instilled in Saivia's genes will be stronger than any command, and will even become the goal and motivation for Saivia's survival. It wasn't the first time he felt scared, but this time he felt the coldness in his heart, and the powerful heartbeat couldn't shake the suffocating feeling......

Subconsciously looked up at the time - there was still 1 year, and the "capsule system" would return to the Watcher.

"The power of that belief will drive Sevia back here, and he won't rest on his laurels." Wang Chen had this kind of realization in his heart, and this feeling was so similar to the realization when he decided to go through the wormhole - they were all determined to die.

"I'm going to be ready to fight him...... No, be prepared for anything unknown...... I will protect the civilization of the earth until the last moment of my life......"

With such determination, the Watchman in the exotic sky will be turned into a combat field in one year......

2. The end of the earth's civilization

……

In March 2104, the world is still the same world, familiar to us or not, it changes every day.

The Minerva was already dead on board, and with the news of the failure of the third interception of the Nt fleet, morale on the space station was at a minimum.

At this time, the Nt fleet is only 12 billion kilometers away from the solar system, and the fleet's speed has dropped to 1,500 kilometers per second (0.5% of the speed of light), and it is expected to reach the Earth in about 180 days.

High-level personnel on the Earth side have been flying into space on manned spacecraft since early January, nearly half a month earlier than originally planned, and Minerva was not even informed of the relevant information before the launch. Many blame it on the selfish nature of human beings, while others believe that the higher-ups have lost hope in Minerva's "Star Project" as a sign of disappointment. This is also a matter of course, although there has been fragmentary information coming from the wormhole, but the control instructions obtained have been tested by Lucien and found to have little practical effect, let alone crack the "invincible" Nt fleet, such a high-input, low-output result has caused the "Stellar Project" to suffer considerable criticism.

After the high-level personnel went into space, there were only a few stubborn leaders and some hard-line military personnel left on Earth to maintain order in society, but ordinary people still did not learn the truth - they intended to hide it until the last day.

The fleet of ships that are about to escape from Earth and pass through wormholes has a sarcastic name - "Escape Fleet".

After three failed active interception attempts, the military basically did not have enough resources to carry out a so-called "doomsday showdown." However, the surviving data shows that in the orbit of Pluto, there is also an inconspicuous early test defense force "Slingshot 0" - a satellite equipped with 6 nuclear missiles, and does not have the function of active interception, and needs to use artificial communication to guide the lock on to the target and launch, considering the backward technology and the long distance of communication, it has almost no practical value.

It is safe to say: the end of the earth has come.

As if to verify this eternal theorem: even the end of the world cannot stop human beings from killing each other. We still remember that Gao Jie received a warning from Mir-2 that there were people on the Minerva who wanted to sabotage the "Star Project". In the past two months, Gao Jie has been secretly investigating who this person is, and finally locked the scope to those who have the opportunity to use the survival module, that is, the commander Miller, Silka, Lucien, the engineer in charge of maintaining the machinery, and others.

Since her acquaintances, Miller and Silka, are suspicious, Gao Jie can only ask Ryan to assist her in her investigation, and the latter is very cooperative, because he also wants to find the saboteur quickly, otherwise the entire space station will be threatened. Especially when he learned the truth about the explosion of the previous spacecraft, he actually showed a rare expression of gnashing of teeth.

On March 14, Gao Jie and Ryan came to the No. 2 research room, intending to retrieve the use records of the survival module, and Ryan also made a special trip to prepare hacking software for this purpose.

"Let's get started!" Ryan connected the PDA to the survival pod's system, "Gao, help me look at the door." ”

Before Gao Jie could reach the door, the commander suddenly walked in! Seeing the "sneaky" two, Miller asked, "What are you doing?" He soon discovered that Ryan was operating the system of the PDA link to the survival module, and hurriedly rushed over, "Yankee, don't move blindly......"

Ryan hurriedly explained: "Miller, you listen to me to explain ......" Before he finished speaking-

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and there was an explosion in the survival module! The three of them were swept down by the air wave at the same time, and suddenly the sky was spinning, and their consciousness was confused......

The alarm bell rings, the AI activates the aerosol fire extinguisher on the ceiling, and the room is quickly filled with white smoke.

"How...... What's going on......" After a while, Ryan struggled to get up, staggered forward to help Miller, who was still on the ground, and suddenly several figures rushed in at the door, but--the first person to come instantly knocked Ryan, who was unsteady on his feet, to the ground, and the rest of the people ran over to control the commander!

The mist gradually cleared, and Gao Jie saw the people who had just entered, and found that they all had guns in their hands.

"It's ...... you"

A few minutes later, Minerva sent an announcement message to Earth, to the Peace-2 space station, and to the spacecraft carrying the fugitive humans, with a single sentence:

"Minerva will officially betray human civilization immediately"

β€”β€”

The world is still that world, but we may not have a chance to see it change.
