Qin Feng opened his eyes suddenly!

It turned out to be a dream......

However, even in a dream, he could still feel the despair in the dream that penetrated the hearts of the people, the almost tragic air battle, as if it was a memory that happened yesterday, he could still clearly see the overwhelming sea of insects, and he could still hear the wails of his comrades before they died...... The monster, which looked like a demon god, was still swinging the scythe of death at him with its teeth and claws......

It's almost breathtakingly real.

But......

Why do you do it...... Such a strange dream......

"What's wrong, Qin Jun?"

A voice like a silver bell rings in my ears. Immediately afterwards, the girl's palpitating beauty began to spread in front of the second lieutenant's eyes.

"No, nothing." Qin Feng smiled.

"Have you had a nightmare?" The girl got up, stretched out an arm as white as jade, and gently wiped away the cold sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead.

Let the blanket that covered his chest slide silently, and let the thrilling whiteness enter the man's eyes.

"It's fine." Qin Feng took a deep breath and tried his best to alleviate the deeper and deeper depression at the bottom of his heart, and then replied casually in a slightly stable tone.

It's just that...... After experiencing such a real and thrilling dream, at this moment, he has no superfluous thoughts at all.

Even if he sleeps next to him, it is his favorite and gentlest little wife in the world-

Haruka Ito.

No, a slight revision......

It should be on this spaceship called "Ark".

Because the concept of "world" has been completely erased from the dictionary.

"Speaking of which, we're already sailing out of curvature." The girl leaned over the porthole, glanced at the deep space outside, then turned back and put the man who was still sitting into her brown eyes again.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

“…… OK. ”

"Wait a minute, dinner will be ready soon." Haruka got up in her clothes.

Soon, in the small kitchen, there was an "empty" sound of kitchen knives colliding with cutting boards, intertwined with the "whoosh" sound of the faucet and the "crackling" sound of boiling oil...... What a breath of life!

If not in this cold metal cabin, but in a sunny apartment......

I'm afraid the warmth in this is even stronger......

It's a pity that this is just a fantasy that has finally become a luxury.

Because...... There's no more Earth......

And yet, even so!

Even so!

Haruka still did her best to prepare miso soup and tempura with limited ingredients, which is now a luxurious dinner.

"This ...... This ......" Qin Feng looked at the "sumptuous" two dishes and one soup in front of him, and was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

"Taste it, Qin Jun." Haruka handed the chopsticks to the young lieutenant, "Today's tempura, but I'm quite confident in it." ”

"But that's too extravagant, isn't it?" Qin Feng was stunned, "How much did you spend on our ration this month?" ”

Ration......

Indeed, despite the crisis of food shortage, the supply is still tight, and the people on the "Ark" have to adopt a rationing system to distribute the necessities of life.

Even as a well-paid air force officer, he receives very little food every day.

But Haruka is ...... this meal

"It's okay, I've calculated our 'inventory' well. And I did Mrs. Hopson a little favor yesterday, and she thanked her a little. Haruka said, "What's more, the most important thing is today...... But it's the anniversary of our wedding. ”

Anniversary...... Commemorate?!!

Qin Feng slapped his head.

Only then did he remember that this day was of great significance to both him and Haruka.

Even if—it was only in the last days of the earth, in a church that was about to collapse, without any family or friends, not even a priest.

But it was a ritual in which he and she made a lifelong promise to stay together and vowed never to lose each other.

Still, it's no wonder he's.

Putting aside the countless birth-and-death missions since entering the sea of stars, there is no way to accurately measure the days in space with the time of the earth. The only thing that allowed these last humans to calculate time was the clocks on the tabletops, and that's it.

However, since I have recalled this special day, it is still permissible to have a little extravagance.

It's just that......

"Attention all fighter pilots of the Second Air Force! Attention all fighter pilots! Get in place in the Combat Readiness Hall now! Repeat, get in place in the Combat Readiness Hall! ”

The central broadcast from the bridge forcibly interrupted the sweet warmth between the young couple at this critical moment.

“…… Belch. ”

"Hmm......"

"That's, that's ......"

"Hu ......" The girl who lowered her head slightly, let the long forehead hair and the shadow on her face hide her expression.

Then, in the next second, she raised her head again, and her beautiful face was already full of gentle smiles:

"Let's go."

"I ......"

"Since it was the order of the bridge, there must have been an important incident." The girl said, "No one would have imagined such an unexpected situation." ”

"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded, smiled at his wife apologetically, and then quickly got up and put on his uniform.

After all, this is not the first time that this kind of temporary emergency order has been made.

However, just as he walked to the door......

"Definitely! I'm coming back......"

Qin Feng was shocked.

How so!!

This...... This sentence......

Unexpectedly......

In that nightmare that still haunts his mind, before that thrilling air battle, Haruka is exactly the same as what he said!!

Not even the slightest difference in tone was heard!!

Don't......

He struggled to turn his head......

Then he finally found out—as if to confirm his words, the bright-eyed girl smiled sweetly, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly seemed to reveal a voice like a silver bell:

"I'll wait for you...... Come back for dinner......"

—————————————

The combat reserve hall set up in the cabin on the second floor of the "Ark" is brightly lit at the moment.

All the fighter pilots quietly looked at the Air Force Colonel with a serious face on the podium - Brandley Edward.

"I'm sorry to summon you here on an impromptu basis." The Colonel said solemnly, "I think you should all have seen that the ship has withdrawn from the curvature voyage. ”

……

"But unfortunately," the Colonel paused, glancing across the room like an eagle, "because of fuel, we didn't reach our intended system. ”

……

"As we all know, after we left the solar system, although it took three years, we finally completed the research and ignition preparation of the fission curvature navigation thruster. Before entering the curvature voyage the other day, according to Dr. Clark's prediction, we should have enough fuel in stock to reach the Ophiuchus system, and we should have enough fuel on Planet 2 Puran orbiting Star A100563, a planet with a rich uranium surface. ”

Yes, they should have had enough fuel there. Then head to your final destination – Gliese 581g.

Gliese 581g is an exoplanet, about 198 trillion kilometers (about 20 light years) from Earth, orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581 in the constellation Libra, as early as 2011, NASA announced the discovery that after years of human observations, it is located in a habitable area of the planetary system, has a stable atmosphere, so the surface can maintain liquid lakes and rivers.

This newly discovered planet in the "habitable zone" is the exoplanet most similar to Earth ever discovered, and it is also the first potentially habitable planet. If a so-called "Earth similarity index" is used to indicate the degree of proximity between a planet and the Earth, and the Earth itself is taken as a 1, then Mars has a 0.7 index and Gliese 581g is as high as 0.89.

Albeit...... Just theoretically......

But it is the closest to humanity in this vast universe, and it is also the place that is most likely to become the new home of these Earth survivors.

It is also the final sailing destination of the "Ark".

Although when they get there, they don't even know what they will encounter.

But at least......

It's a hope.

People always have to live by hope, don't they?

"But in fact, there was a deviation in the calculation, so we got off halfway." The Colonel tugged at the deep nasolabial folds on the side of his mouth, as if rather annoyed.

Soon, however, he regained his usual coldness: "We are currently in an asteroid belt. There is only one desert planet in the nearby airspace. ”

A desert planet is one that has only one climate on the entire planet – a planet with a desert climate and very little precipitation. It is somewhat similar to Mars, with an oxygen-inhaling atmosphere, and only the polar regions are cold and wet, allowing for the formation of smaller ice sheets and morning dew.

"But God willing, the science team still gave a little good news - that is, this star field may also have the energy we urgently need, although it is only theoretically ......" The Colonel's voice was slightly lower when he said the last few words.

However, in the end, the lowered voice still rebounded with a firmer force: "So, the first priority of our air force now is to explore this star field!" Now assign the task ......"

The colonel said, opening the spherical airspace image thumbnail: "Team Alpha, responsible for the exploration of the asteroid belt; Cobra ......"

"No—"

The sudden yelling, close to hysteria, rudely interrupted the Colonel's assignment.

Who's that?

Qin Feng recognized his voice. Everyone was looking at him with a strange look, but ......

But he couldn't help it!

Because the hologram opened in front of his eyes......

It was the star field where the purgatory-like battle took place in the nightmare!!

"Second Lieutenant Qin, what do you seem to have an opinion?" Colonel Edward, who had been interrupted, frowned in displeasure.

Why is this kid again!

As an orthodox German soldier from a family, Edward, who has always paid attention to orthodox military education, has a deep prejudice against Qin Feng, a black sheep who "just relied on the recommendation of veterans to infiltrate the Ark troops". If it weren't for Qin Feng's previous record to the point where people had nothing to say, I am afraid that he would have been driven out of the "Ark Force" for various reasons.

But, even so......

Even so......

In his eyes, Qin Feng still can't be called a "soldier".

When the earth was destroyed, if it weren't for this guy's sudden lightning marriage, he used the name of the military family to pull his new wife onto the spaceship, and as a result, he occupied the already limited quota of the "Ark......

At least...... At least he still has a way to secretly get his favorite little lover Alice on the "ark......

It won't be ......

So sure enough, it's this guy's fault!

And nowadays...... How dare you shamelessly question the opinions of scientists! Did he think he was Einstein?!

"We must stay away from this star field, no matter what!" Qin Feng was almost speechless, "You have to leave!" Immediately! Right away! ”

……

Silence, an embarrassing silence quickly spread through the battle chamber, so that for a long time, the hall was so quiet that it was so silent that even a pin could be heard dropping on the floor.

All the pilots were looking at him with a kind of monster-like gaze, and even Qin Feng himself knew that this kind of shocking speech was not only extremely rude, but even seriously, it was already a violation of military regulations!

But he couldn't help but say it.

"Hey, Qin ......" Lin Yi, who was beside him, gently pulled the corner of Qin Feng's clothes, as if he wanted to remind him of the colonel's increasingly ugly face......

But he was unmoved.

“…… The reason? After a long time, Colonel Edward, who finally spoke, asked such a question with suppressed dissatisfaction.

“…… There is no reason. I...... Let's just say, we have to go. ”

However, what he heard was Qin Feng's explanation like a joke.

But that's all he can say.

Can you still tell everyone that you suddenly foresaw the future, and know that this exploration will inevitably lead to catastrophic consequences?!

It's strange not to be treated as mentally ill.

“…… Come on. The colonel took a deep breath, as if he had managed to hold back the anger in his heart, and just waved his hand, "Now we continue to assign the mission......

"I'm not kidding, Colonel!" Qin Feng stubbornly interrupted the other party again, "I'm not crazy! We really had to leave! Even if you have to land on a planet because of energy problems, you should at least take a more cautious and prudent approach! ”

"Team Alpha's mission is to explore the asteroid belt ......"

"Colonel!"

"Cobra Squad mission to explore the direction of the desert planet ......"

"Because there are extremely terrifying alien creatures in this star field!" Seeing that his proposal was being ignored more and more, Qin Feng could only raise his octave and shout out a solemn warning again!

It's just that......

"Second Lieutenant Qin!"

But it was overshadowed by the colonel in a higher tone.

"If it weren't for your excellent performance and excellent record in the previous mission! I'm almost going to decide you're an unqualified coward! ”

"Colonel ......"

"Listen, I don't know what you're trying to do with this alarmist argument over and over again! But now I command you to shut up immediately! ”

"I ......"

"If it's because of the curvature of the voyage that caused your paranoia of victimization! I recommend that you see a doctor after the mission is over. But for now, shut up! Sit down! ”
