Qin Zhongquan was almost tempted to stop thinking. He felt like a clown. No matter how he tried to change, whenever he or those around him managed to turn danger into safety, to avoid danger and seek advantage, the course of events would always be infinitely closer to the answer Lin Ke had given. His future was like a fait accompli, unchangeable by anyone, unaffected by any choice.
He didn't know if there were other people like him in the world, but from a rational point of view, as long as there was one person who was clearly controlled by external forces, then everyone was being secretly controlled.
It’s scary to think about, isn’t it?
Three minutes later, the attack arrived as planned. The Apocalypse, which had been prepared in advance, was naturally "unharmed". Those low-visibility, high-density warheads carried huge kinetic energy, passed by the side of the warship at high speed, and flew away in an unknown direction.
Below them, the three landers had just completed calibration operations before landing on the moon.
The communication between the lander and the warship was selective, so the landing teams were not distracted by the thrilling moment of the people left behind on the warship. The tone of their radio communication was relaxed and cheerful, which formed a sharp contrast with the chaotic and noisy atmosphere in the warship.
The ship's computer faithfully recorded their voice signals:
C-3: "As planned, our team will begin landing deceleration maneuvers in 461 seconds. Please ask Team A to synchronize the IFF signals within ten kilometers of our landing zone while circling. Over."
A-5: "Roger that. Team C, I'm watching you! Your butts are beautiful, and fire is coming out of all four holes."
B-6: "Hey guys, are we the only ones going to land here? This is clearly the best spot. It's flat and solid."
A-5: "Huh? Guys from Team B, don't overthink it. There's not a single spot on the moon that hasn't been dug deep by the Community's omnics. Watch your butts when you go down there, and don't let the surface dirt fool you! I don't want to hear your distress signals midway."
A-5: "Team C, I've detected a cavity below your landing point. Please be careful when descending. Over."
C-3: "Roger that. But I think the structure below is strong enough to withstand the recoil. Slowing down..."
B-6: "I'm almost at the landing point, Team A, can you guys do that?"
A-5: "Impossible. I can't see your position from here. It's blocked by the crater. And we're about to leave. See you on the ground."
B-6: "Okay, see you on the ground!"
C-3: "I've landed. It's safe here! Now I need to change positions. Hey, it's been so long since I last felt gravity... It's really uncomfortable. C-, everyone, take your positions. I'm going to open the hatch."
B-6: "The signal's getting worse. We're about to enter the far side. Damn it! Why didn't the Terminus launch a relay satellite?"
A-5: "I'm going to spit fire too. C-Team, how's the situation down there? Hmm? Hello? C-3?"
C-3: "We're fine, the landing gear just caved in. You'd better stay away from us, the geological structure here has reached a critical point."
A-5: "Are you sure? The scan results are all green. Is there something interfering down there?"
C-3: "There's a huge cavity down there. Our probes have sent back data, and it's enormous... at least fourteen kilometers in diameter! I suspect this was once a biodome."
B-6: "Can anyone hear me? Damn it, this place is full of magnetic metal. The lander is stuck and the titanium drill bit is worn out. We need backup! Can anyone hear me? Terminus? Oh, well, it seems we can only rely on ourselves!"
C-3: "Team A, I see you guys. Your butts are all over the floor. I hope you're okay."
