Chapter 463: Towards an Unknown Future
Prometheus
Earlier.
When Li Muhan stepped into the sealed cabin of Prometheus and was surrounded by countless wires like a butterfly in a cocoon, the members of the Special Management Bureau outside did not relax.
At the beginning, all communications and electricity were completely cut off, although they used emergency power to maintain the terminals of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau.
To ensure that this final key will not be handed over to anyone.
Then the power was restored, and Mo Qiao successfully contacted the outside world. The army had gathered on the island, but facing Prometheus's special defense mechanism, they could only remain in place.
Through internal surveillance, they witnessed the horrific scene inside the cabin - it had become a hell on earth, and no one, whether human or alien, could escape.
A man from the Special Management Bureau walked through the transparent wall of the cabin and made a request to the girl who had been staring at the situation inside: "Representative of the Blood Moon Church, you are the strongest alien here. Can you please go out and save the survivors?"
Ever since Li Muhan entered the cabin, Xia Yue stood there, motionless, constantly calling his name.
But her voice could not penetrate the barrier of the electric fence.
She even tried to break the glass, but found that she was not strong enough to move it at all.
Jörmungandr told her that this was not ordinary glass, but a protective shield given power by the Black Tortoise to prevent external attacks.
At this moment, Xia Yue just stared blankly into the cabin, indifferent to everything around her.
The man raised his voice, trying to wake her up: "The lives of those outside are hanging by a thread. I hope you can take on the responsibility of representing the Blood Moon Church's Special Management Bureau!"
Xia Yue didn't even raise her head and responded coldly: "Go away."
She could no longer sense Li Muhan's presence, not even a trace of the devil.
Li Muhan’s disappearance made her feel as if she had returned to that rainy night, that lonely park, that moment when she lost everything and was despised by everyone.
Her eyes gradually became cold, indifferent, and empty.
If he leaves me... then what should I care about?
The representative of the Special Management Bureau widened his eyes in disbelief. "What did you say?! You are a representative of the Blood Moon Church. Protecting civilians is also your responsibility!"
Seeing that Xia Yue ignored him completely, the man actually reached out his hand and tried to pull Xia Yue.
But his hand was held by another person.
"Okay, stop venting your anger here. We're all trapped here now. Even if we go out and rescue those people, no one can guarantee that this place is absolutely safe."
The woman from the Saudi Special Management Bureau had slightly red eyes, as if she had just cried.
She grabbed the man's hand and stood between him and Xia Yue.
But Xia Yue ignored them completely.
"Do you think the people outside should be sacrificed?" The man still did not give up.
"My husband... is the alien who controls fire and dust. He has sacrificed himself to protect ordinary people, so..." The woman's words were full of sadness.
“…this…I…”
The man was speechless when he heard this. He realized why the woman was crying.
They saw from the surveillance footage that the alien from the Saudi Special Management Bureau bravely blocked the passage to protect a group of researchers from escaping, but ended up meeting with tragedy... And how did the woman in front of them, his wife, bear such a scene at that time?
"If you understand, don't bother her anymore... Her lover is also fighting in his own way right now." The woman looked at the man, her eyes full of understanding and determination.
The man apologized guiltily, nodded to her, and returned to the terminal room.
The woman did not try to talk to Xia Yue, she knew that the girl was wholeheartedly paying attention to Li Muhan at the moment.
"......Feel sorry."
The man said nothing more. He nodded slightly to the woman and returned to the terminal room.
The woman did not talk to Xia Yue either. She understood that the girl seemed to be extremely obsessed with the alien named Li Muhan.
If the man's hand had really touched Xia Yue, he would probably have suffered unexpected pain.
Inside the terminal room, Mo Qiao, Jörmungand and some technicians who were still working hard were discussing response strategies.
Although Prometheus controls most of the Institute's resources, they are not helpless.
"Do you think this plan is feasible?"
Mo Qiao proposed a radical plan, which made everyone present think she had lost her mind.
However, Jörmungandr carefully analyzed the plan. After some precise calculations, they concluded, "It may sound like fantasy, but if we can create even a one-second gap, Li Muhan can briefly regain control of his body and mind in the data world."
"But..." Smith frowned and said worriedly, "We didn't destroy Prometheus's authorization. If we do so, we may become sinners of mankind in the future."
Mo Qiao looked directly at Smith and said firmly, "If we don't do this, I'm worried that humanity will no longer have a future."
Several researchers looked at each other and nodded.
They recorded surveillance footage and recorded all the tragedies. Finally, Mo Qiao summoned the representatives who had lost their will to resist after watching the surveillance footage.
"Is this... this kind of thing... really possible..."
"Anyway, this is too crazy..."
"Forget it... Let's just wait for the decision of each country's special management bureau."
Mo Qiao found it difficult to bear these words, and she slammed the table and roared.
"Everyone, cheer up!! What did you expect!! No rescue! No deal! No negotiation!! This is Prometheus's mockery!"
Mo Qiao's harsh words struck the hearts of everyone present like thunder. They all raised their lowered heads and focused their eyes on her.
This seemingly young girl exudes determination and strength beyond her age.
Her suit jacket was tied around her waist, and she felt as if she was back in her familiar battlefield - the workshop in the engineering department.
"We are the first on-site personnel! Only we understand the danger here! I know this is beyond your expectations, unimaginable even in your dreams! But now, this is reality, a cruel and real reality! We, as the judges of the scene, are the only ones who have the power to choose the future for this world!"
Every word Mo Qiao said was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, forcing them to prick up their ears and listen to what the girl was going to say next.
"Now, I will tell you the decision of the three major special management bureaus and what we will do next. You can either move forward with us or roll into the corner and wait for your rescue!"
This girl, who is not even 18 years old, suppressed everyone present with her intelligence and aura.
Originally, these people were still skeptical of Mo Qiao and didn't know what she meant by resistance.
But after hearing her plan, everyone's faces showed fear.
"...Minister Mo, are you kidding me?"
"...Are you serious?"
"...Is this possible?"
Mo Qiao suddenly grabbed a wrench and slammed it hard on the table. The deafening sound overwhelmed all doubts.
"Shut the fuck up! People outside are fighting, Li Muhan is fighting inside the cabin, and we have to join the battle now! Are you guys going to follow or not?!"
This girl, who had always been relatively calm, suddenly burst out with great courage and blurted out swear words, but no one thought it was inappropriate. Instead, they saw a glimmer of hope from it.
"Damn it, you're right, just do it!"
"Humans, aliens, should never lose to these mechanical brains!"
"Fuck them! We created them and gave them everything! Now they want to take it all away! Go to hell!"
Some representatives have been incited and are emotionally agitated.
But there are still quite a few people who think Mo Qiao's idea is too crazy and are unwilling to participate in it.
Mo Qiao ignored them with a firm gaze.
"Those who are willing, gather here. We will record the on-site assessment report and send it to the World United Special Management Bureau."
So after seeing this petition video, the increasing number of votes against it gradually eased and then stagnated.
at last.......
The number of votes in favor changed from 0 to 1 at this moment.
Like a logical leap in programming, the transition from 0 to 1 symbolizes a new beginning.
Humanity has taken the first step towards an unknown future.
