January 15, 2071, 6:39 a.m. -- Sharitz Asteroid Belt in Far Earth Orbit -- Leviathan Engine Control Room --

"Great, Mark, we've managed to turn the tide of battle!" The voice was trembling, it was Li Xiaoxin's voice.

"Mark, can you hear me? We've killed Brain Worm No. 1! The nuclear bomb has also been successfully planted, and we can evacuate! "Very loud voice, as soon as I hear it, it is Tang Xingfeng.

Both brain worms have been wiped out, and long-range human communication has finally been restored, but Mark is not at all happy listening to the cries of victory coming from the radio.

"Mark!?"

Tang Xingfeng's voice came again, Mark, connected to the team's communication channel.

"I can hear you, go back the way you came, the assault boat is already on its way, and the nuclear bomb will explode in five minutes. Run, hurry. ”

"Got it, hurry up, we'll see you in Sharitz, it's over."

"Over."

Turning off the radio, Mark got down on one knee and held Gruvo's trembling golden hand tightly with his black hand. Gruvo, on the other hand, took off the lightsaber arm guard from his arm with great difficulty.

"Mark, I'm sorry I can't help you more, this is my lightsaber, I hope you can give it to my daughter, the lightsaber warrior of the Lightblade Sanctuary, Martha, and let her fight, for the sake of the entire Protoss, cough-" At this time, Gruvo returned to the way he was when he was imprisoned, and the armor that had lost his energy support weighed heavily on him, making him very uncomfortable. But worse than that, he felt the pain from the depths of his soul, the pain of running out of oil. The continuous speech overwhelmed his heart, and a mouthful of blue blood mixed with crystal energy was brought out by his cough.

"No, Gruvo, you've done a great job. Hold on, and our reinforcements will be coming soon, and we will all be able to go back alive. Mark didn't want to cry, but his eyes were already moist, and he had only known Gruvo for less than five minutes, but he already regarded Gruvo as a close friend, and so did Gruvo, who had the same thoughts and experiences, and therefore the same beliefs. It's easy to find a daughter, but it's hard to find a soulmate!

"Hehe, my friend, you're making a bit of a joke."

"Gruvo! Gruvo! ”

In Mark's perception, Gruvo's mental fluctuations vanished; In the armored biogenal detector, the GRUVO biogenal signal also disappears; Even in Mark's hands, Gruvo's big hand lost its strength and hung limply to the side. This time, Mark didn't insist, he let the tears flow down his cheeks.

"Mark! Where are you? The nuclear bomb exploded in two minutes and ten seconds! ”

"I'm in the Leviathan engine control room, and I'll get the Cloudstorm assault boat over a bit, and I might not be able to get out of the evacuation point with just my legs."

"Got it. Sgt. Fly behind the Leviathan, we have a teammate there! ”

Turning off the radio and taking one last look at Gruvo, Mark stood up from the ground. The nanobots inside the armor activated, wiping away Mark's tears and allowing him to keep his vision clear.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give your faith to your daughter"

Picking up Gruvo's lightsaber armguards, Mark stopped dragging and took a step out of the hall from the Guardian of Death. Gruvo died, and his corpse, Mark, had no chance to take with him. But his beliefs, Mark is packed into the bone marrow, even if he dies, he will carry it with him.

The countdown to the explosion of the nuclear bomb is 1 minute and 40 seconds --

Mark snatched the door out of the engine room and ran wildly, guided by a radar locator to find the nearest way out of Leviathan. Along the way, he saw a large number of awakened Zerg, without the command of the brain worm, these Zerg are no different from the mad dogs that bite people, but there are a little more in number. With a little bit of skill, Mark left a lot of Zerg behind.

After about half a minute of speeding through various acceleration methods such as electromagnetic acceleration run and electromagnetic bounce jump, Mark finally broke away from Leviathan's gravity zone, and the jetpack activated, allowing him to fly quickly. At this time, there was less than a minute left before the nuclear explosion.

Thirty-two Seconds Countdown to Nuclear Explosion --

"Mark, where are you?! We are in the area affected by the explosion and must be evacuated! Hurry up! Tang Xingfeng's voice had changed tone, and he was really nervous.

"I'm in that crater below you, let the Cloudstorm assault boat pass by in thirty seconds, and I'll rush up!" Mark was already in flight at this point, and the crater from the electromagnetic railgun was deep and straight, perfect for him to escape.

"Sergeant, you heard it, please do it!"

The engine of the jetpack was already seriously overheated, but Mark didn't dare to let go of the jet knob in the slightest, he was afraid that if he stopped, he would never be able to start again. But even so, he was still a long way from the top of the crater.

"Mark, quick! Ten seconds to go! ”

"Fight!" Holding the trigger of the AGH14, Mark turned the automatic rifle into an extra thruster, and the speed that had reached the limit increased again, and the Mark armor detection system issued an overspeed warning.

"Hurry up!"

A large amount of space junk appeared in front of them, and the fire of the assault boat's guns flashed from time to time, and clumps of bioelectric plasma, larger than the assault boat, shot out from the Leviathan and rushed into the vast starry sky. All this indicates that the exit is at hand. But at this time, the main engine of the jetpack stalled.

"Nima's! How to turn off the fire at this time! Inertia allowed Mark to keep going, but he was unable to use his maximum speed and was destined to fall onto the Cloudstorm assault boat. He is not reconciled, he is not willing to fail like this!

"Electromagnetic Jump!"

At the last minute, Mark went crazy, and he unloaded the jetpack, which was clinging to the armor. Then he turned around and kicked at the stalled jetpack, and the powerful electromagnetic bounce of kinetic energy sent him out at a higher speed.

"Boom ―――――"

The heart-wrenching nuclear explosion began, the entire Leviathan trembled, and the core was destroyed, which meant its demise.

Watching the shape-changing mushroom cloud rise from the Leviathan, Mark felt an indescribable discomfort, as if something deep inside had been removed. But he didn't have time to think about it so much now, because there were less than five seconds left before he collided with the "Cloud Storm" assault boat, and the figure of the "Cloud Storm" assault boat moving at high speed was right in front of him.

"Brakes!" Pulling out the "Six-Five" pistol, Mark once again turned the weapon into an engine.........
