"Is that so? Zhiqing has come back?"

The old man who heard the youth notification nodded slowly and then became silent.

While he was silent, the people around him were silent at the same time.

The scene seemed a little quiet for a moment.

But below, a large number of metal impacts and striking sounds continued, resounding repeatedly in the open space.

The silence lasted for about a minute, and the old man made a new voice. He looked at the huge machines operating below and sighed.

"It's time to let Zhiqing start to gradually take over part of the business of the Apocalypse Consortium and the real meaning of the consortium..."

After saying that, the old man turned around and walked towards the passage at the end of the platform.

Others kept up slowly.

"Ark Project, is this really the last trump card for human beings?"

The old sigh echoed in his heart.

……………………

Almost the same moment.

In a starry sky turbulent flow countless distances from the earth, the moon, and countless light years away.

More than a dozen huge, damaged, huge spacecraft are slowly moving. Among them, the three spacecraft at the end are still emitting a series of sparks, and some of the hulls are rapidly disintegrating, and thick smoke continues to penetrate out of the cracks.

Inside the three spacecraft with flashing fire, a group of earthlings were walking busy.

The rapid warning sounds and the flashing warning lights filled several layers of the cabin inside the huge spacecraft.

"The rented door on the 21st floor, the 22nd floor, and the 23rd floor have fallen!"

"The 22nd floor, the family living area is being closed, and the core area is being transferred! The light damage has begun!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Maintenancer! Maintenance robot! Maintenance as fast as possible!"

"Medical class! Members of the ship-based hospital! All go to the 19th floor to gather! Repeat..."

...

Everything seemed chaotic, but it was going in an orderly manner.

Among a group of men and women who were being led to the transfer, a middle-aged woman who looked very weak was leading a man and a woman and two children slowly moving with the crowd.

But in her eyes, tears kept flowing.

"Mother……"

At this moment, the boy who seemed to be only seven or eight years old suddenly looked up and asked.

"Why haven't Dad been back yet?" The boy's words obviously further stimulated the woman, and she burst into tears.

Next to the boy, the girl who looked two or three years older than him, immediately said sternly: "Chen Zhuo, didn't you tell you just now! Dad is going to perform a special mission!"

Although the little girl's voice was deliberately showing anger, her slightly trembling voice and the tears she held back in the girl's eyes still made her words not as effective as expected.

……………………

In front of these three damaged huge spacecraft, the spacecraft flew in the center of this entire fleet.

Core Command Bridge.

Here, the air seems very solemn.

In the middle of the bridge, on the highest seat, an old man in his seventies was sitting upright with a serious face. His eyes were shining, but the fatigue on his face could not be concealed.

At this moment.

"The captain of the general fleet, the detector left on the original coordinates has been confirmed to be destroyed, and the pursuer has confirmed to be misled into the wrong route..."

In front of the bridge, a woman who had been operating the terminal instrument in front of her raised her head and said in the communicator.

As her voice fell, the people in front of her who were operating the instruments in front of her were all smiling happily in the bridge with a serious expression.

Several men who looked younger than last year jumped up from their seats excitedly.

He listened to the cheers of everyone in his ears, but the old man, known as the captain of the general fleet, had no expression. He had heard this cheer countless times in the past few decades. He just slowly closed his eyes, and the tired look on his face became more and more obvious.

After three or four minutes, the cheers in the bridge finally stopped, and everyone returned to their posts and carried out operations.

After a long time, the old man sighed, stood up, walked down from his seat, and walked towards the passage at the edge of the bridge. When passing by a middle-aged man wearing a white space army uniform and a serious face, the old man asked softly: "The team serving as bait..."

"I have lost contact," the middle-aged man replied.

"Is that right?" The tired look on the old man's face became even more serious. "I heard that the team I recommended to go to this time was the one in Yanlu before?"

"Yes, but after Yan Lu left, the current captain is Chen Xin." When the middle-aged man answered, his expression on his face also seemed a little sad. "He is a very good seedling. He has been in the scout team for a long time. This time the establishment of the new route and the investigation of the previous jump hole are also... "

"Is that right..." The old man's tall figure seemed a little hunched in an instant, and walked out of the command bridge.

……………………

Not far from these dozen huge spacecraft.

In the trivial meteorite group, metal fragments are floating slowly.

This also includes the aircraft with a complete rack.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was lying in front of the bridge on an aircraft, unconscious.

Dong!

suddenly!

The aircraft seemed to have hit an obstacle and vibrated violently.

"Um?"

A faint sound rang out in the originally silent cockpit. The man who had already passed away struggled to raise his head. A confused look flashed in his eyes, and a shocking huge wound on his forehead had dried up.

"This is!"

Suddenly, the man's originally blurred eyes were stunned when he swept across the screen in front of him, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw that on the screen ahead, a strange scene was displayed like a vortex. Around the vortex, the space was twisted like a liquid refraction. After approaching the vortex, tiny meteorites were hovering and absorbed by it.

"This... this is a space jump hole! In the meteorite belt with unstable spatial organization, a space jump hole actually appeared!"

After a long time, the man exclaimed, and his voice seemed particularly loud in the empty cockpit.

……………………

Pluto, City 27.

"City Lord Kara, has been confirmed dead."

"Deputy city lord Lasco, has been confirmed dead."

"Deputy City Lord Galar, has confirmed his death."

"Mosesco, the assistant to the city lord, has confirmed his death."

"Ltd Colonel Moses, the commander of the city defense force, has been confirmed dead."

"Major Milina, the logistics commander of the city defense force, was seriously injured and unconscious."

...

One after another, bad news kept coming.

Chen Shi and Ye Qi's faces kept changing when they heard it.

On the side, Indepando and several young men rushed to the padded bed of several robots.

On the bed, their parents and classmates were lying.

The interval of just a few minutes will separate them from each other.

Chen Shi looked at all this silently, his lips were a little dry, but his heart was very complicated.

He had never seen dead people, and he had even been a lot of dead people himself, but he never thought that death would come so without warning.

A few minutes ago, the city lord turned around and left with an unhappy look on his face. When he met again, he was already lying on the cushioned bed with incomplete limbs, his body and face were covered, and the blood in his body dyed the bed and the covers purple-red.

At this moment, the city lord's previous persistent conspiracy, power and various calculations became meaningless, and even a bit ridiculous.

"What do you think?"

In silence, Ye Qi, who was standing by, suddenly asked, "He was called after the explosion. Because the center of the explosion was the core center of the entire city, when the explosion occurred, many commanders with high authority were either killed or injured. As a military captain and his special identity as a military captain and a special identity that was not bound by the city's military police robots, the officials and soldiers who reacted immediately found him.

For a moment, Ye Qi became the commander of the city.

Promotion is so simple in war. All you need is the bad luck of the superiors and their own good luck.

Chen Shi, due to the identity of Shura Army, also transformed himself into a newcomer who had just arrived and was about to welcome the rejection of the entire urban management system, and became the second commander with command authority second only to Ye Qi.

"I don't have any thoughts." Chen Shi shook his head, the complexity in his heart became more and more obvious.

It is true that he had no friendship with the deceased here, and he only knew one or two names, but this did not mean that their deaths had no effect on Chen Shi. However, the strong contrast between a few minutes made Chen Shi feel a little at a loss.

"That's good, don't think too much," Ye Qi patted Chen Shi's shoulder after hearing Chen Shi's answer. "Since you have joined the army, you must be conscious of death. Soldiers are going to kill people. Only by being prepared to be killed can the mission of a soldier be fulfilled. There is always a gap between federal propaganda and reality, and war never stops."
