Chapter 236: Rescue Across Light Years
It didn't seem like a wise decision to go higher at this point, and although Nipp was right, the building could absorb some of the power of the Breakaway Recoil, but that was only a drop in the bucket, and it couldn't stop the final destruction. But Nip was determined to make the last struggle, as he had said before, and he would fight for it even if it was just a second longer.
The tall building in the distance is the central building of this industrial area, there is a certain luck factor in holding on to the end, the building next to it helps it block the impact of a lot of steel rainstorms, and its own quality is very high, after all, it is a landmark building in this area, the building has long been out of power, more than two hundred high-rise buildings in the absence of elevators, a little walk up is a difficult thing, this is not as steep as climbing a mountain, no mountain slope will be as steep as a man-made staircase.
"A little higher...... A little higher......" Nip's head was bruised, he climbed up layer by layer, Jinna gradually regained her strength, and slowly did not need Nip's support, she could slowly keep up with Nip's pace by herself.
"We ...... Is it really possible to be saved? Jin Na has also worked in the factory for several years, and her physical strength is not bad, but the intensity of such exercise still makes her breathless.
"Yes, at least it's better than staying down and waiting to die, opportunities are on the way to work."
Nip's eyes were shaken by the sudden increase in the light in front of him, and his eyes were a little uncomfortable as he kept moving through the dimly lit staircase, and in front of him was a huge high-altitude platform, and through the ruined city perimeter Nip saw a shining light source.
That's the sun.
After more than twenty years of living in Starlight City, Nip saw the sun for the first time, he had seen the sun through videos before, and he had learned about the feeling of looking at the sun on Earth through those forbidden books, but it was the first time he had actually seen it, the undisputed star of the solar system.
Orange light filtered through a huge breach, just enough to see the beautiful star from this angle, Nip had lived in the space city since birth, the living ring here was completely cut off from the outside world, oxygen, sustenance, and even sunlight were all artificial, and there was an artificial light source that simulated the sun's rays suspended above his head at all times, but few people could actually see the sun.
"The lights have long since gone out, this light ...... It has always been the light of the sun. Nip suddenly realized that the power grid in the outer ring had dried up, and when they turned on the overload rotation system, they hit all the power in the entire big ring, and the power supply for the lighting had long since stopped, but there was still light on their heads.
That's because the dome of the outer ring is already broken, and sunlight is letting in through the breach, because the light is exactly the same as artificial warm light, and almost everyone doesn't notice it.
"What's wrong?" Jinna walked up to him, and as soon as she looked up, she was as stunned as Nip, the people who live here have never seen the sun in their lives, and no one has ever thought about it...... The day they saw the sun was the day of destruction.
The golden light came from the distant void, slowly gilding the broken earth with a layer of golden light, like a merciful saint soothing people's wounds, the sun on the horizon is very small, if you look at it on the earth, it will be much larger, it is not easy for the sun to shine on the star city, this space city hides behind Ganymede, with the rotation of Jupiter, it is blocked by this giant planet and countless moons around it, this time because the outer ring is out of its original orbit to usher in this long-lost sunshine.
The vibration under his feet is getting stronger and stronger, Nipu can clearly feel that the ground is on the side, this building is about to collapse, and before the shockwave of separation recoil arrives, it has already reached its limit, Nipu has also reached its limit, the fatigue accumulated in the past few days has exploded instantly, he can't even take a step to the side, Jinna is not much better than him, the sunrise he saw for the first time in his life seems to be the last bit of mercy and parting gift that the world has given them.
The roar in his ears became louder and louder, Nip's cheeks were dyed golden by the sun's rays, he meditated hard but this time the goddess of inspiration did not favor him anymore, he couldn't think of any way, he couldn't even think of any idea to delay the time again, the last moment came, all he could do was to raise his head and feel the sun again, the roar became louder, the sound was not like any sound that Nipu had ever heard, Nipu had heard countless noises all his life in the industrial area, but the sound in his ears still felt very strange, how to say itβ¦β¦ It was an extremely fine roar that only the most intimate machine could make, and it didn't sound unpleasant to say it was noise.
The orange warm light beside him suddenly became dim, and the orange light was mixed with a cold blue light that made people feel unfamiliar, and the two lights naturally blended together, and before Nip could react, his feet suddenly lightened, and the whole person was dragged into a strange environment.
"Are you all right?"
The white light illuminated Nipp's eyes, and the things around him slowly faded in front of his eyes, slowly melting into the mysterious white light, and he was in a sealed space, which was not particularly large, but everything around him was complete...... What he meant was that unlike everything on the outer ring, everything was broken, the smooth floors, the smooth walls, and the ruins of the environment, the things in front of him were as beautiful as works of art.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, are we still alive? "Nip had never believed in the propaganda of the gods, but he couldn't explain the situation.
"Hahaha, of course alive, we saved you." The person who spoke was a young man, his appearance was very ordinary, but a pair of eyes were very special, like a bay of frozen lake, calm and deep, as if containing infinite wisdom and philosophy, this was not like a young man's eyes, behind him were three cockpits, sitting in the middle was an old man, they were all wearing blue and white tight-fitting clothes, I couldn't tell what material it was.
"Thank you very much...... But I don't know...... How could you have saved us, we ...... just now" Nip looked down, and through the transparent ground he saw the shrinking edge of the city and the outer ring.
"You're on a ship, we need someone to find out what's going on here, and we just saw you on the platform, and you look like you're in need of help...... By the way, we are from Earth, which was once a planet in this galaxy, and she is now 360,000 light-years away. Mark clasped his hands and smiled.
