When the young man said the first sentence, Hubbard couldn't help but clench his fists.
"I...I'm going on a trip."
The young man choked for a moment, but quickly suppressed his sobs, his eyes slightly red: "I have many friends and we are going to travel to far away places together. Mom, don't worry about me, my friends are all fine, and I will definitely live well.
Maybe, this time I won’t be able to come back for a long time, but, Mom, you don’t have to miss me, you must take good care of yourself.
And, Mom, I’m sorry…”
The first video ends here, and the video of the next Pioneer member follows.
Everyone was saying goodbye to their closest relatives.
This was the last conversation that all the members had with their loved ones on the ground before the Pioneer self-destructed.
“Woo…”
A ghostly cry startled Hubbard. He looked down and saw the liaison officer crying bitterly: "Sir, I can't bear to see this..."
"Why are you crying? You're such a coward!"
Hubbard cursed loudly, and the liaison officer's crying almost made his nose sore.
The news of the Pioneer's self-destruction quickly reached the command center. Looking at the tumor in the sky that suddenly stopped, everyone in the command center, led by Borman, stood up and saluted in that direction.
"I told you to eat, but you're going to die of stuffing!"
Bach on the ground waved his fist excitedly, but he also knew that the tumor was just a result of overeating and needed to be digested. The explosion of the Pioneer still did not cause any significant damage to the tumor.
Fortunately, the explosion of the Pioneer was too sudden, resulting in the loss of a large amount of energy. The tumor obviously did not absorb much nutrition, and the current situation is more like indigestion.
Moreover, this also buys them time to discuss plans!
…
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Xi's voice suddenly came, and Shen Cheng subconsciously raised his head, only then did he realize that it was already dawn.
A surge of blood rushed to his head, causing Shen Cheng's eyes to darken for a moment and his temples to swell and ache.
“Bang!”
The phone fell to the ground, and Shen Cheng's body tilted immediately afterwards.
Noticing Chen Cheng's abnormality, Ye Xi quickly hugged Chen Cheng, his face becoming serious: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"The invasion has begun..."
Chen Cheng's tone revealed fatigue. He had guessed that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, and... so suddenly.
The current invasion is only reflected in the tumor that appeared in the sky above the United States. Compared with the vast earth, that tumor is just a drop in the ocean.
But Chen Cheng knew that the invasion of alien civilization was definitely not as simple as this tumor.
The two previous invasions nearly led to the extinction of humanity and a breakdown in civilization. But now, they can even ignore the hot weapons that humans are proud of today.
It’s not that Shen Cheng doesn’t believe in the power of mankind. Although the previous two times ended with human victory, the price paid by mankind cannot be underestimated.
Shen Cheng couldn't accept the fact that his civilization was broken, and he couldn't accept that his current life had suffered a devastating blow!
"aggression?"
The clever Ye Xi immediately thought of something and took out the cell phone from his pocket.
"A giant creature appeared in the sky above the United States Federal City!"
"Suspected alien invasion! A huge flying object in the sky above the United States!"
"The Pioneer failed to take off, alien civilization invaded!"
"The US government has stated: We have the strength and the ability to eliminate threats from our skies. Please do not panic."
As soon as I turned on my phone, pop-up windows like these popped up one after another.
Seeing this, Ye Xi frowned.
She didn't believe that the United States alone could stop this thing. After all, the United States' current cutting-edge technology relies on high-tech products left behind on Earth by alien civilizations many years ago.
But think about it from another perspective, if even the United States cannot destroy this thing, then the possibility of other countries destroying it is also very slim.
“Chen Cheng?!”
Liusu had just walked out of the room and saw Shen Cheng's strange behavior, so she hurried forward.
Ye Xi handed Chen Cheng in her arms to Liu Su, and began to recount the entire incident in detail.
"You didn't sleep all night?!"
After hugging Shen Cheng, Liusu asked hurriedly.
"Um……"
Shen Cheng responded weakly, and nothing more was said.
"It's okay, you can rest now."
Liu Su did not ask Chen Cheng what happened, but rubbed Chen Cheng's hair and said softly: "Have a good sleep, don't worry, everything will be fine..."
Before he knew it, Shen Cheng's eyes closed and he fell asleep.
"Ye Xi, what happened?"
After confirming that Chen Cheng had fallen asleep, Liusu asked Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was slightly startled: "Didn't the Institute of Biological Sciences tell you?"
Liusu shook her head.
It seems that only Chen Cheng has been notified...
"You can tell by just looking at your phone."
After hearing Ye Xi's words, Liu Su took out her mobile phone and saw a lot of news pop-ups.
After roughly understanding the situation, Liusu knew that the thing that Chen Cheng was most worried about had finally happened.
"It doesn't matter."
After murmuring softly, Liusu put away her phone, bent down, and gently rested her forehead against Shen Cheng's.
"It's okay, we'll face it together. Don't worry, it will be fine..."
…
"What's coming has finally come..."
A sigh that clearly came from a young girl, but was filled with vicissitudes of life, reached Shen Cheng's ears.
"Why do you have to create something you can't control before you think about researching ways to fight it?"
"Why do we have to create and start wars? Why can't we stay together like before?"
Chen Cheng opened his eyes and saw a vast expanse of white space, but it was not glaring. Being here made Chen Cheng feel warm and comfortable.
Sitting up, Shen Cheng saw a familiar girl. She was wearing a white dress, barefoot, with her back to him, giving Shen Cheng a very friendly feeling.
When he was in Luoguo, Shen Cheng had seen this girl before, and it was also in a dream.
When facing away from me, I feel kind and gentle, as if all the positive emotions in the world are gathered together.
But when facing him, the space would be filled with dark red, the girl's whole body would be covered with shackles, her eyes would be red with hatred and disgust, and it seemed as if all the negative emotions in the world were gathered together.
This made a deep impression on Shen Cheng.
"You're here."
The girl's ethereal voice came, still with her back to Shen Cheng, her tone filled with infinite tenderness.
