"This is a deadly profession!"
"So what?"
Su Pengfei wore his usual simple and honest smile: "If this is an order from the Academy of Sciences, if the Human Federation needs us to do this, if this can elevate human civilization to a higher level..."
"Then we just need to carry it out."
“I was prepared for this from the day I became a planetary explorer.”
Xia Zhou fell silent.
After a long silence, he sighed deeply: "Su idiot...you really are an idiot!"
Xia Zhou raised his hand and gently patted Su Pengfei's broad shoulder: "Let's go, get ready, we should go to conference room number six to report."
With that, Xia Zhou turned around and prepared to leave the hibernation area.

"I believe that when given a choice, the Academy of Sciences and Parliament would never make such a decision again."
Xia Zhou clenched his fists tightly, but then released them instantly.
He let out a long breath, muttering in a daze, "A...hero...?"
"Perhaps."
Xia Zhou shook his head slightly and walked forward with a somewhat dejected expression.
