Chapter 392: On the verge of collapse

In just a few days, those who landed on Proxima Centauri to rebuild their homes had to leave in tears, the planet was becoming more and more dangerous, and Proxima Centauri was threatened with their lives all the time.

The winds were strong, the rain was pouring down, the people on the ground were almost immobile, and every now and then Proxima Centauri would have a large-scale crustal movement, causing earthquakes of astonishing intensity.

The atmosphere overhead is also gradually thinning, and the landers cannot breathe without wearing oxygen supplies.

"Let the landing force return to Battlestar as well, and there will be no senseless sacrifices." Mu Chen ordered.

"Any good news from the research team?"

The intelligence officer shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

"Time is running out, once Proxima Centauri completely stops rotating, it will be quickly captured by the gravity of nearby stars, and then urge them to hurry up and come up with a plan no matter what!" Mu Chen said solemnly.

"Yes!" The intelligence officer was ordered to leave.

Mu Chen looked at the Proxima Centauri in front of him through the special glass of the command room, and his eyes were a little unwilling, the planet he was unwilling to regain was turned into a death star like this, which meant that all his efforts were in vain, and it could even be said that he had buried the last hope of Proxima Centauri with his own hands.

"Arrange for us to go and see the Proxima Centauri's supership." Mu Chen turned his head and said to the wolf girl beside him.

"Don't you dislike boarding alien warships? Why did you suddenly change your mind today? The wolf girl asked curiously.

Mu Chen has a special habit of cleanliness for battleships, as long as the situation allows, he will never board other people's warships, because he always feels that it is not his own territory, there is a strange feeling, and he is not used to anywhere.

"Hey, in a special situation, I'm a little worried about those Proxima Centauri, watching their home planet go to extinction, I'm worried that Princess Carol will not be able to control the scene." Mu Chen said worriedly, that Princess Carol is a very smart person, but she is still much inferior to her deceased father in terms of courage and prestige, and it is not easy to calm down the panic of the clan.

"You're not really going to like that Proxima Centauri, are you?" The wolf girl asked suspiciously, even if she would have a taste, although Princess Carol looked a little strange, but she was in a very good shape, she was really a little worried that Mu Chen would not be able to help but want to try it and change her taste.

"What nonsense, I'm not interested in noseless Proxima Centauri, and besides, I have all of you, so I don't have time to think about this." Mu Chen said angrily.

"Hehe, you're so interested in Princess Carol, it's always going to make people a little suspicious." The wolf girl said with a smile.

"Go, go, am I so hungry?" Mu Chen reached out and patted the wolf girl's buttocks, urging her to hurry up and make arrangements.

The fighter plane soon landed on the Princess, the flagship of the Proxima Centauri fleet, and Mu Chen took the wolf girl's hand and walked down quickly.

"Princess Carol, I'm sorry to come here."

"Mr. Mu Chen is polite, all the princess welcomes you." Princess Carol's face looked a little haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen, and she knew that she had just cried.

"I haven't had a chance to take a look at the Proxima Centauri's battleship, and frankly I'm curious, so why don't you show me around?" Mu Chen said in a relaxed tone, although he was worried that she would not be able to command the fleet well, but this kind of thing is not easy to say directly, right? Otherwise, what a slap in the face, people will think that Mu Chen is questioning the ability of the royal family of Proxima Centauri.

Carol is a very intelligent woman, and she knows what Mu Chen means, but she is still there

After a moment's pause, she nodded and agreed to his request, because Carol knew that Mu Chen was also well-intentioned.

Under the leadership of Princess Carol, Mu Chen and his party began to visit the Princess Super Battleship.

The size of the battleship is large, and the interior space is also very spacious, and most of the people involved in this mission are combat personnel, and the civilians of Proxima Centauri still live in the camp on the Titans, so the activity space is not so crowded.

There are more than 100,000 crew members on this Princess, all of whom are busy with their own affairs, obviously after long-term training, and their work attitude is very serious, but there is no expression of joy on their faces, and lingering worries and anxieties envelop the entire battleship.

"The mood of the fighters is a little low." Mu Chen frowned and said, the current Proxima Centauri people are completely different from a few days ago, and the transition from great joy to great sorrow makes everyone's hearts extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey." Princess Carol sighed, "Mr. Mu Chen, you have not lost your home planet, so you may not be able to understand the feelings of those of us displaced people for our home planet, Proxima Centauri is not only our home, but also our spiritual pillar and soul support, without her, we would be like a group of soulless walking corpses......"

The woman was ready to cry again as she spoke, and she didn't know where she got so many tears, it was too easy to get out of the water.

"Don't be sad, there will always be a way to solve it, so many researchers are working overtime to study feasible solutions, and I believe that there will be results soon." Mu Chen comforted softly.

"However, we only have a month left, and in a month Proxima Centauri will be captured by the gravitational pull of the star, out of its original orbit, and once it leaves the habitable zone, even if it can resume its rotation, it is no longer suitable for us to live." Princess Carol could not hold back any longer, and her tears flowed down like beads of broken thread.

Mu Chen couldn't see the woman crying the most, and reached out to help her wipe away her tears, but suddenly remembered that the wolf girl was standing beside her, and this action might cause her misunderstanding.

The half-stretched hand had to be taken back, the wolf girl smiled knowingly, took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Mu Chen, who took it and stuffed it into Carol's hand, which relieved the embarrassment.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu Chen." Princess Carol said gratefully.

Mu Chen scratched his head, his face slightly embarrassed.

Princess Carol sorted out her emotions and continued to walk forward with Mu Chen and a few people, in front of which was the rest area of the crew on shift, where the staff on duty would take a rest.

As soon as he walked over, Mu Chen heard two Proxima Centauri warriors whispering to each other, and the words that came out made everyone's faces very solemn.

"I'll just say, our Proxima Centauri is a race cursed by the God of Creation, and we lost to the Zerg before, lost all the home planet, and fled to the solar system with shame, and got the help of the earthlings, and now it's good, the earthlings will help us take back the home planet regardless of our previous suspicions, but the creator god wants to punish us, so that the mother planet will directly become a death star."

"Hey, the Proxima Centauri fought for more than a thousand years and didn't defeat the Zerg, and in the end, it was the earthlings who helped take back our home planet, maybe the Proxima Centauri is hopeless."

"It's not that you don't know that the earthlings don't want us to participate in the war at all, and it is expressly forbidden to ask the Proxima Centauri fleet not to make trouble, and we are a group of burdens."

"Her Royal Highness the princess is far worse than Her Majesty Carlos, she doesn't know how to command operations at all, more than 5,000 soldiers died in vain because of her words, and she also blocked the attack route of friendly forces, in exchange for me to be the commander of the Earth Fleet, I don't want such a friendly army to cause chaos."

"I heard about Proxima Centauri in a month

It will stop spinning, and then we may really become a homeless wandering race, are we still cheeky to stay on Titan? After all, it is the territory of the earthlings, and even if the earthlings accept us in a friendly manner, who can guarantee that it will always be like this......"

"You're right, the earthlings are already benevolent enough, and if you change to other alien races, you can't wait to hide far away, anyway, I don't have the face to trouble them anymore."

Mu Chen secretly glanced at Princess Carol beside him, and found that she was covering her mouth with her hands, trying to control herself from crying.

The conversation between the two warriors destroyed the last strength of Princess Carol, who was about to hold on, she couldn't imagine that she was so bad in the eyes of her clansmen, but she had to admit that they were right, and for a while she had a feeling of self-shame, trying not to make a sound, just hoping to leave a little face for herself.

Mu Chen knew that what he feared most had happened, Proxima Centauri stopped rotating and that it might be the last straw that broke the camel's back, this race had gone through too many setbacks and tribulations, and the entire race was on the verge of collapse, if they really lost this glimmer of hope, maybe it would be time for them to go extinct.

Sometimes disasters and crises are not the cause of their demise, but when they lose faith and begin to despair, they are doomed, and Proxima Centauri is like that.

Fighting against the Zerg for thousands of years has not crushed them, because they still have faith in their hearts, and they still have the persistence to recover the home planet, even if they fight to the last person, they will not give up.

Now that the Zerg has been defeated, the home planet has also been recovered, but all efforts have been in vain in the end, it is like a dream for a long time, and finally awakened by reality, and they sadly find that all this is a bubble they imagined out of thin air, and it cannot withstand any test.

The words of these two warriors do not represent the thoughts of all Proxima Centauri, but at least they show that pessimism is spreading in their hearts, and if they don't hurry up and stop their pessimism, I'm afraid it won't be long before Proxima Centauri will be destroyed by this mental pressure.

Mu Chen glanced at Carol beside him, it seems that this woman can't be counted on, at this time, crying nose has a woolen use, no matter how aggrieved and desperate she is, she can't show her fragile side, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Mu Chen sighed, raised his legs and walked into the room where the soldiers were resting.

As soon as several Proxima Centauri warriors saw that it was the commander-in-chief of the Reaper fleet, they immediately stood up and saluted, and they still respected this earthling, a person worthy of respect like His Majesty Carlos.

"Hello, Mr. Mu Chen! The Princess 5th Combat Squad salutes you! The warriors in the room saluted Mu Chen very well, and there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, as if he was worried that what he said before let him hear it.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Mu Chen waved his hand and said.

The rest room was clean, and the soldiers' belongings were neatly placed in their designated places, and it was evident that the fighters were disciplined even in times of despair.

"Yes, it's very clean, you guys are very serious about housekeeping." Mu Chen glanced at it and praised it loudly.

"Hehe, you've won the prize, our fleet is disciplined, and the crew needs to pack up their living space, otherwise they will be punished." A warrior said with a smile, still a little proud in his heart, it was an honor to be praised by Lord Death.

Mu Chen sneered and asked, "In this way, I don't know what kind of punishment the commander should receive in your fleet if you don't know how to spread rumors, spread pessimism, and talk about the commander behind your back?" ”
