Thirty seconds later, Harrison Clark and the others in the Hornet Ship passed by the explosion site.
Black smoke and white mist rose from the water surface.
There was an occasional upsurge of dense bubbles.
The ocean was still boiling, like boiling water that had been cooked.
Raging waves still rolled endlessly.
Shattered metal debris floated on the water, and from time to time, casualties surfaced.
There were even warriors in Summit armor left with only half their bodies.
Fortunately, it was a nuclear fusion explosion.
If it were nuclear fission, this entire ocean and the soil beneath it would be contaminated by radioactivity, turning this place into a flowing dead sea.
Harrison Clarks Hornet Ship and the medium-sized battlecruiser that Dr. Owen was piloting side by side slowed down.
See if there are any of our people alive.
Harrison Clark commanded.
He only intended to save his own people.
He couldnt care about those strangers who acted as obstacles.
Rescuing others under these circumstances would only put oneself at risk and allow more people to catch up.
Then, at that time, he would have to kill even more people or be executed.
Fortunately, there were no holier-than-thou people around him, and no one opposed his command.
We found a life signal in half an escape pod! Its Needham Browns genetic information!
Dr. Owen contacted them.
Harrison Clark was overjoyed, How is he? Quickly save him!
The medium-sized battlecruiser in front dropped briefly, passing over the waters surface.
We saved him! Its really Needham Brown!
Good! Very good! Keep going! Harrison Clark ordered.
Daniel Thompson, Marthus, and other comrades from the rookie class probably all perished.
It was undoubtedly saddening.
But Harrison Clark had no time to mourn, and he had already seen Lion tragically killed with a shot through the chest once before.
With more exposure, numbness set in, and it became natural. The next time they met, they could still brag with Lion and Marthus.
Harrison Clarks ability to calm down was not inferior to those high-level bigwigs who replaced emotions entirely with logic.
The two warships moved forward again.
As they went on their way, Harrison Clark asked Dr. Owen about Needham Browns condition again.
Dr. Owen replied, Needham Browns current situation is quite peculiar.
How so?
His escape pod was blown in half, so his body was also blown in half.
Harrison Clark frowned, What do you mean? Did he die too?
Not at all, he is still alive.
Harrison Clark: I dont understand. How much of him is still intact?
Dr. Owen: I have never encountered such a situation before. He only has a head left, but he is indeed alive, still conscious, just dormant.bender
This Harrison Clark couldnt find words.
But he recalled what happened the last time he came to this place.
In the end, Needham Brown only had a head left.
Medical personnel from the fleeing party put his head in a box to take away, but unfortunately, it and its contents were completely bombarded by The Main Ships cannon.
Those medics wouldnt have been idling around, so at that time, Needham Brown probably wasnt dead either.
Unexpectedly, this time Needham Brown became one of their own, but still couldnt escape the fate of only having a head left, and he still didnt die!
I have already moved his head to the life support system, and his condition has gradually stabilized.
Okay, keep going to Freedom Town.
After making arrangements with Dr. Owen, Harrison Clark instructed Martha Owen, Contact the leaders of the fleeing party and tell them that I give them two choices. First, prepare to launch their heavy-duty spaceship into the sky immediately and be ready within fifteen minutes. As soon as we arrive, we will take off. Second, refuse me and then watch me tear their heavy-duty spaceship into pieces.
Martha Owen did as instructed.
Nora Camp thought for a few seconds, then said with a slight surprise, Have you been planning this all along?
Harrison Clark nodded, Yes. When I last went to Freedom Town, their spaceship was almost completed. They planned to launch next week, and now it should be ready.
Nora Camp nodded, And the propulsion energy power of the heavy-duty spaceship is extremely huge. If it is destroyed in the Earths interior, the explosion would be unbearable for the military. As long as we break the atmosphere, we will have a chance to escape.
Harrison Clark responded, Yes.
But where do we go once were out? Martha Owen asked, poking her head over.
Harrison Clark shrugged, According to the original plan of the fleeing party, we would keep going towards the edge of the Solar System, and when the time comes, try to break through the barrier that blocks the Solar System. Of course, I have to wait until the last moment before trying. In the meantime, I still have some attempts to make, and I need your cooperation.
Rush out? Theres no chance of success, its just a death sentence. Its so boring that were going to die anyway. Martha Owen shook her head, unimpressed.
Harrison Clark nodded, Indeed, but staying near Earth is also waiting to die. I want to see that barrier and then find a way. We only run out of options when theres no choice left, and then we can live one more day and do more things.
Everyone was puzzled.
Martha Owen said, Since you said that staying on Earth is waiting to die, does it mean that you think we cant win against the enemy?
Harrison Clark nodded without hesitation, Yes. Humanity will perish. The invaders are far more powerful than all of you can imagine.
Then if we are all going to perish, whats the point of doing all this? Nora Camp said anxiously, Why are you going through all this trouble to save me and seize the escape partys spaceship to go to outer space? What does it all mean? And how do you know about the invaders situation?
Finally, Harrison Clark decided to tell the truth and reveal his true situation to everyone, hoping to gain more support and help.He wasnt worried about exposing the secret, as everyones memories would be reset by the time they came back.
Yes, everyone will die. I will die too. But I have a future! Ill explain the specific reasons later. Lets discuss it slowly. The Escapists have agreed to my request.
In the closed conference room of the Executive Committee, a group of people were watching the holographic projection in the center of the table.
In the projection, a gigantic spaceship about 1,800 meters tall was slowly rising.
This was the last spaceship to be launched by the Escapists in the plan, and it had nearly exhausted 90% of the resources controlled by the Escapists.
Although the technological level of this spaceship was not as advanced as that of the World Government, it was the complete technological achievement of these people.
The giant spaceship was designed to accommodate 30,000 people, with a maximum cruising speed of one-tenth the speed of light in the universe. Thats 30,000 kilometers per second, reaching the Proxima Centauri System in forty years.
In the Proxima Centauri System, theres a planet called Proxima Centauri b, which is similar in size to Earth and is 7 million kilometers away from Proxima Centauri.
Since Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star with only an eighth of the mass of the sun, its habitable zone is closer to the star than the Solar System.
As a result, Proxima Centauri b is located within the habitable zone of the Proxima Centauri System, possessing a substantial atmosphere and possibly liquid water.
With the technology currently controlled by the Escapists, in theory, they could transform Proxima Centauri b into a planet suitable for human habitation.
There were ample equipment and supplies prepared by the Escapists on the spaceship.
They had always worked to the best of their abilities, making the most complete preparations for the almost nonexistent chance of survival.
Although Harrison Clark had left little time for the Escapists to prepare, the majority of essential materials had already been loaded in advance, with nearly ten thousand passengers already adapting to life on the spaceship.
Since the other twenty thousand passengers were already in Freedom Town, they eventually boarded the spaceship in time and set off with Harrison Clark and his companions.
Should we shoot it down immediately?
Someone in the Executive Council meeting room made a suggestion.
The proposal was soon rejected.
Firstly, the energy reserve of this heavy spaceship had been designed to its maximum extent, enough to support it traveling a distance of three hundred light-years.
Its core power module was based on stable quark fusion energy, which humans had barely mastered two hundred years ago, and could now only be said to have just begun to understand.
In the energy supply process, quark fusion provided the primary power, while nuclear fusion provided secondary power.
If the spaceship were blown up inside the Earth, it would be like detonating a quark bomb.
Although the power of this bomb couldnt compare to the one placed in the Earths core by Sergey, it would still be enough to cause significant damage to Earth.
Secondly, besides Harrison Clark and others, there were 30,000 suicide squad members of the Escapists on board, barely considered hostages.
The decision of the Executive Council was to wait for the spaceship to leave the Earths atmosphere before making a final decision.
In the command cabin inside the spaceship, Harrison Clark and his team were confronting the leaders of the Escapists.
No one liked being threatened.
Although the Escapists were originally a suicide squad, Harrison Clark had disrupted their plans. Some important members who were still in the orbital space station hadnt even had time to board the ship, causing discontent among the Escapists.
If it werent for the fact that Harrison Clark was wearing the intimidating Azure Star, the Escapists would have loved to shoot this guy on the spot.
The core issue of the dispute between the two parties was the command of the spaceship.
According to the Escapists, they wanted Harrison Clark and the others to just be passengers, staying in their rooms and not causing trouble.
They also had a mission.
The spaceship was loaded with one million frozen human embryos, as well as embryos and seeds of almost all animals and plants on Earth.
Their mission was to break through the Solar Systems blockade within one month and make a last attempt to preserve the spark of human civilization.
In this timeline, the relationship between the Escapists and the World Government was more relaxed, and many spaceships had been launched, so the higher-ups of the Escapists knew about the situation outside.
They knew there was a barrier, but they didnt care.
Harrison Clark, on the other hand, didnt agree, as he knew it was impossible.
Even if the spaceship was equipped with the latest advanced force field shield system provided by the military for free, it would be useless.
Harrison Clark demanded control of the command and planned to have the spaceship cruise around the blockade until the final moment, two months later.
The ideologies of the two parties were in complete conflict, making it almost impossible to reach a consensus.
After all, none of the people in the Escapists were afraid of death.
They were only afraid of failure.
Harrison Clark, you better not push your luck! We have already cooperated with your unreasonable demands enough!
In the tense atmosphere, a leader with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes was the first to speak up.
It was very deliberate for him to be the one to speak up, as a person of the same ethnicity and skin color was less likely to provoke Harrison Clarks murderous intent.
Harrison Clark shook his head, lifting his hand to make a pressing motion, signaling Nora Camp, who was about to speak up, not to say anything.
The things I mentioned before must be kept secret; only you guys should know about them. Harrison Clark looked at the other party, You have your beliefs, and I have my reasons, and I cannot compromise. If you listen to me, you will still have a chance to continue rushing out later. If you insist on resisting, then were all in this together.
You
Youre so overbearing! Youre too selfish!
The Escapists accused Harrison Clark one after another.
Harrison Clark shrugged, I really wish I were selfish. Otherwise, I would be hiding on Earth watching movies, listening to music, and playing games happily, instead of fighting for my life here.
Are you playing us?
Lets fight!
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense and an internal fight was on the verge of breaking out, the alloy door of the command cabin was suddenly flung open.
Martha Owen, Dr. Owen, Scott, and several top medical experts from the Escapists walked out quickly.
In the center, Scott wiped the sweat from his forehead, Good news, Needham Browns vital signs have completely stabilized. Hes regained consciousness, and although he cant speak, he can communicate with us through brainwaves.
Harrison Clark grinned, Thats indeed good news.
The leaders of the Escapists also breathed a sigh of relief and looked particularly happy.
Strictly speaking, Needham Brown should be one of their own kind..
