Chapter 22: The New Student
The spot that Nina had pointed them out was not far from them, and the road was mostly plain, with no large craters in the way, and Mark was at full speed and arrived without much effort.
This place is a hill on the edge of the Tranquil Sea, sitting in the shadow of a huge crater, from this angle, the crater gives an incomparably huge sense of oppression, it seems to be connected to the endless void all the time, Mark raised his head to the top and did not see its upper part, it is hard to imagine what kind of monster meteorite hit the moon before. Because there is no protection of the atmosphere, the moon is often hit by meteorites, and in the case of more and more lunar colonies, meteorites have also become a major annoyance, although there is a ** system of anti-meteorites in every lunar city, but it can only prevent some small meteorites.
There is only one point on the earth in this place, and when it really arrives at Mark, he realizes how big it is, this desolate hill is worth the size of a new city on the moon, Sun Tan took out the probe he made himself, although it looks very rudimentary, but he guarantees that the performance is no problem, but it will take some time.
While he was detecting the underground signal, Mark was responsible for patrolling the surroundings with his mech, looking for anything out of the ordinary, and keeping a sentry so that passing troops would not find them.
They have now escaped the government's surveillance, but Mark still heard the news from the radio, Minsk's high-pressure policy has finally begun to eat back, he is ready to control the upper echelons of the moon, carry out a coup d'état from the top down, and strengthen his dictatorship, but unexpectedly, the change has begun to happen again, a large number of people in the agricultural and industrial areas on the front of the moon have begun to revolt, they have occupied several armories, seized a large number of weapons and mechas, and really clashed with the military.
Mark is not optimistic about their actions, after all, there are only a few who dare to stand up and resist, and even if they overthrow the Minsk government, they don't know how to take action to save the earth, whether the moon will be affected or not is still one thing, so most people still have a wait-and-see attitude and are unlikely to join their actions.
However, Mark also saw another possibility, in other words, as long as they were given hope, more people would join the revolution, and once he and Sun Tan really found the alien spaceship and held the hope of saving the earth in their hands, the people of the whole moon would support them, and then the dictatorship in Minsk would be vulnerable.
After this period of blockade policy, as well as the events in the mines, Mark was very dissatisfied with Minsk's disregard for human life and completely using the people as tools, he did not understand politics, but he knew that the so-called government was the embodiment of the power of the people under pragmatism, and once the government no longer served the people, then there was no need for him to exist. Nina wandered her gaze around in boredom, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Mark's face with a resolute and unyielding expression, he himself did not realize that at this moment, there was a sun-like brilliance on his body, and from this moment on, a great fire ignited in Mark's heart, which would burn the steel, destroy the occlusion, let others see the light, and never be extinguished by the cold and darkness.
"Mark?" Nina was startled by his sudden change and patted him on the shoulder, and soon Mark was out of his state and his expression returned to normal.
"Huh? What's wrong? Mark was taken aback by her.
"Nothing, just the look on your face...... It's kind of scary. Nina laughed.
"Thinking about something." Mark lowered his head and continued to drive seriously, at this moment his mentality has quietly changed, he has not been able to find the direction before, he doesn't know why he is alive, he just wants to live a life of eating and waiting for death, until the disaster comes, he realizes that he is too weak, even if he wants to help others, it will not be useful, he wants to change himself, and he also wants to change more people.
"What do you think that is? Shooting stars? Nina was wary of the strange thing ahead, and stretched out her finger to point to a few streamers in the sky.
"Be careful...... Mark immediately manipulated the mech to hide in a rock behind him, revealing a little gap to observe the sky.
Several meteor-like blue rays hung in the middle of the sky, and if you looked closely, you could find more tiny blue lines, three thick, too many to count, and in the middle of their formations, there was one of the thickest rays, so bright that it could almost cover the starlight.
"Sun Tan, can you hear me?" Mark immediately reported the emergency to Sun Tan, who immediately replied to him.
"What's wrong?"
"You look up at the sky, what is that? Patrol aircraft? Mark reminded him that he was worried about government drones.
"It's not...... That's a starship. Sun Tan raised his eyes and was shocked by the blue meteor in the sky, this was the first time they had seen the human space fleet with their own eyes, even if it was very rough compared to the mysterious cube, but this was also the result of integrating the highest technology of mankind, "Look at the largest one in the middle, that is the Newborn!" The only space aircraft carrier of mankind, they were originally deployed in the space base on Mars, but they didn't expect to be here now. ”
"I must not have received a signal from Earth, so I rushed back." Nina said excitedly.
"Can they help?" Mark looked at the huge spaceship in the sky, and felt a little comforted in his heart, but he didn't expect that there were other people besides himself who were fighting to save the earth.
"I'm afraid not, the weapons they carry are very advanced, but they don't pose a threat to that level of civilization, just like the sharpest stone of a barbarian can't penetrate a tank." Sun Tan's analogy is very spot.
"It seems that we can only rely on us, how is it on your side? Did you find anything? Mark sighed.
"I feel pretty much it...... It seems like this is the place, found it! There's an anomaly down there, come to my place quickly, I can't dig this rock by hand. There was a burst of ecstasy in Sun Tan's tone, and Mark and Nina also let out a burst of cheers.
Mark controlled the mech to salute the fleet in the sky, and then rushed in the direction of Sun Tan.
